Chapter 280 Overcome Fear
"Apparate!"
Say the spell,
In an instant, Ivan felt that the surrounding space was squeezing him, and his body seemed to be out of control. Then this feeling disappeared without a trace.
Did you make it?
Ivan turned around in a circle, stopped and looked around, but he was still where he was.
"Did I fail?" Ivan said awkwardly.
"Failure is normal. Practicing this magic is not that easy!" Sirius said with a smile.
Ivan quickly adjusted. Disapparation was a very difficult magic to learn. There was something wrong with him imagining that he could learn it in one go.
Without using academic points to cheat, Ivan estimated that his talent and magic affinity were at the level of an outstanding student after two bloodline fusion transformations.
In the week before going to school, it would be good to be able to successfully and skillfully master apparation.
"Let's do this. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with Apparition several times. It might be helpful for you to remember this feeling." Sirius thought for a while and then spoke.
After saying that, Sirius grabbed Ivan's wrist, waved his wand, and performed several phantom transformations to move between the two targets.
Ivan tried hard to keep this feeling of teleportation in mind.
However, it was only when Ivan tried it himself again that he realized how difficult it was to complete a spatial displacement.
I also fully understand why the most important thing in the process of practice is to establish determination!
Whenever Ivan senses space and moves, he will feel a great fear rushing into his heart. It is a feeling that his body is about to be flattened, compressed, and cut into segments.
My mind was filled with so many horrific scenes of failed spells that I couldn't even think about the destination I wanted to reach.
After practicing continuously for more than an hour, Ivan stopped tiredly, and at the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding, after a period of practice, your apparation proficiency has improved, and the current progress is 29/100]
"Let's take a rest first. Using Apparition rashly when you are mentally unstable can easily cause splitting." Sirius took a few steps forward, patted Ivan on the shoulder, and said comfortingly.
Ivan nodded, and the two found a place to sit down.
Sirius patiently explained to Ivan the mistakes he made in casting the spell just now.
Finally, Sirius also jokingly mentioned that when he first practiced apparation, he was too impatient and ended up being split into two parts during a practice.
At that time, many students were frightened. Thanks to the professor who was teaching at the time, he was able to take his body back in time.
"Then what?" Ivan asked curiously.
"I am naturally very courageous. Isn't it just that my body is divided into two parts? That can't scare me, so I am the first one among that batch of students to learn to apparate!"
Speaking of this, Sirius was very proud. At that time, James and Lupine were much slower than him, let alone Peter, who had mediocre talent.
Thinking of this betrayer, Sirius's face looked a little unhappy,
At this time, Ivan asked curiously. "How long did it take you to learn this magic?"
Ivan's question interrupted Sirius's memories. He quickly adjusted his mood and said provocatively.
"Excluding the time for theoretical classes, it took about five or six classes, right? Do you want to compare with me?"
About ten hours? so fast!
Ivan thought with emotion, but still accepted Sirius's provocation. Only when you are under pressure can you be motivated!
After taking a short rest, Ivan continued to practice phantom transformation.
While the system notifications kept ringing in his mind, Ivan was gradually overcoming the sense of alienation in space and trying hard to establish a connection between the two places.
"Apparate!"
A few hours later, the sky gradually became dark. During a spell, Ivan suddenly felt that his body seemed to be squeezed into some small space.
It was as if his consciousness had been stripped away, his body was spinning inside, and the fear of being out of touch with reality gradually came to his mind.
Ivan kept thinking about the location of the pothole in his mind, and shouted in his heart.
I want to get there, immediately, immediately!
Ivan soon felt his body being kicked out of that place, and the world was spinning. When he stabilized, Ivan found that he had arrived at the target location.
[Ding, Apparition has reached level one, current proficiency level (9/200), and five academic points are awarded! 】
As the system prompt sounded, Ivan realized that he had completed a space transformation and initially learned this magic spell.
bang bang bang
Sirius applauded and walked over, saying appreciatively. "It looks like you succeeded! It was much faster than I thought."
"It was just a lucky success." Ivan shook his head and looked at the darkening sky. He had been practicing for about seven hours.
Although this speed is faster than the five or six classes that Sirius said.
But Ivan knew very well that this was the progress of one-on-one teaching. When Sirius learned to apparate, there was no teacher to give him single-person tutoring.
"With this successful experience, I believe that you only need to practice more to release this magic at will." Sirius patted Ivan's shoulder and said encouragingly.
Ivan's ability to initially learn this magic in half a day was far beyond his expectations.
Sirius was very clear about the difficulty of learning Apparition. In addition to requiring learners to have sufficient magic power and excellent spatial sensing abilities, the most important thing is to overcome fear!
Because every time a wizard uses phantom appearance, he risks being separated and travels through the cracks in space.
The stronger the spatial sensing ability of a wizard, the more he can experience the feeling of fear, so determination and confidence are so important in the process of casting spells!
When learning this magic in Hogwarts, since there will be a day or two between classes, the students have enough time to adapt.
Sirius had been prepared to spend a few days practicing with Ivan. He thought that Ivan would not be able to hold on after practicing for only one or two hours at most.
Unexpectedly, Ivan not only persisted, but also successfully released the Apparition!
A successful spell casting experience certainly does not satisfy Ivan.
However, after practicing for so long, Ivan was already exhausted physically and mentally, and his magic power was almost exhausted, so he could only give up temporarily and continue practicing tomorrow.
Then Sirius took Ivan for a long-distance apparation and returned to their temporary stronghold.
