Chapter 27 [Talent and Magic Potion]

Rock was lying on the bed, flipping through the practical guide carefully.

The [Map] contained the entire terrain of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Although it could not show the location of everyone like the Marauder's Map, it was still practical in general.

The two pages of [Equipment] and [Inventory] were blank, and there was nothing left in them.

In addition, there were only [Challenge] and [Talent]. After all, this was just an alchemical product, and there was no setting like in the game to adjust the display quality.

If this book could really improve strength, then Rock would think it was most likely in the [Talent] column.

In the game, talent points are needed to activate talents, but I don't know what it looks like in reality.

Turning to the [Talent] page, four branches immediately followed below - 'Spells', 'Dark Magic', 'Core', and 'Stealth'.

Rock remembered that there was also a Room of Requirement in the game, but he didn't see it now.

"This is the page." Rock closed his eyes. He felt the echo of ancient magic in this page. He now had to concentrate on resonating with the remaining magic in the book.

The first thing that changed was the 'core'. Under the 'core', "Spell Knowledge I" and "Ancient Magic Throwing Expertise" appeared.

The next thing that changed was the 'spell'. The first line below showed "Flying Spell Mastery", "Floating Spell Mastery", and "Burning Flame Mastery".

Following the 'spell' was the 'black magic'. Here, "Coma Curse" and "Blood Curse" appeared.

Finally, "Elusive I" appeared in 'Stealth'.

Rock looked at the entries that appeared. It was not a direct initiation.

But like an ordinary book, it recorded how to improve the knowledge and experience in this area.

It's just that the content recorded in it is a bit outrageous, such as the effect of the "Coma Curse": "The spell that makes the stun the ground will have a curse effect on the enemies."

And this curse effect can also be combined with another "Blood Curse": "After causing damage to a cursed enemy, all cursed targets will receive additional damage."

What kind of voodoo doll is this? Naruto Feidan?

Is this knowledge that can be taught in a normal book?

This is only the first line under each talent column. The following lines are not yet lit. Rock remembers that there is also a chain skill of Avada Kedavra.

The circulation of wizards' high-end knowledge is very slow. Many spellcasting techniques are very private things. They will not be written in textbooks at all. Even private manuscripts rarely have similar content.

For example, Professor McGonagall's Patronus spell clone, Voldemort's flying in the air, Grindelwald's Transfiguration, and even Dumbledore's Vulcan Clearing, I have never seen anyone else use it.

Except Voldemort's flying in the air, he taught it to Snape.

Even Dumbledore doesn't know how to use it. He once admitted that Voldemort knows a lot of magic that he doesn't know.

This kind of advanced use skills is also an important point that widens the power gap between wizards and wizards.

Rock closed the book. These recorded skills are probably learned by the previous generation of users.

It really helped him a lot. Among them, "Ancient Magic Throwing Expertise" combines the use of control spells such as Flying Spell, Floating Spell, Shock Absorption and Speed ​​Stop, which is very practical.

And the several mastery type spells that appear in the "Spells" are all some techniques to transform single targets into group targets, which can be surprisingly effective when facing one-on-many.

"I feel like Harry who got the Half-Blood Prince's notes, as if I got the Nine Yang Magic Skill all of a sudden." Rock composed a few sentences in his mind.

Then Rock looked at the time, began to pack up his textbooks, and prepared to go to the Potions classroom.

...

The decoration style of the Potions classroom is simply a world apart from Professor Sprout's greenhouse.

The little Hufflepuff wizard looked at the potion materials and the glass jars filled with magical animal organs with a pale face, as if he was visiting a specimen room.

The Ravenclaw eagle next to him was not much better.

Michael had vowed to bring information about the potion class to Harry and the others at noon, but now he began to tremble as soon as he stepped into the potion class classroom, as if he had walked into Frankenstein's laboratory.

Amid the students' uneasiness, a big black bat quietly slid in from the door.

He looked around, his eyes stayed on Rock for a while, then he took out the roll call and started to call the roll.

One by one, the students answered as they were called, but Snape's eyes were always quietly looking at Rock.

In the teacher's lounge at noon, Flitwick's smile never stopped, and he kept showing off that a peerless genius had entered his class, who was simply the reincarnation of Merlin.

Ha! The reincarnation of Merlin!

Snape laughed. He laughed at Flitwick's brain. A first-year wizard deserved to be praised like this?

When he was eleven years old, he knew more curses and evil spells than most seventh-year students. So Snape never believed in the genius touted by others, because he himself was a real genius.

It seems that Ravenclaw has not produced any decent talents for too long, so Flitwick, the headmaster, can't think well.

"You came here to learn the precise discipline and strict craftsmanship of potion preparation~"

"Since there is no silly waving of wands here, many of you will not believe that this is magic." Snape said softly, his tone was very light, but everyone in the classroom could hear it carefully.

"I don't expect you to really understand the beauty of the slow-cooking pot with white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You will not really understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, which makes people excited and confused..."

"I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew honor, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the stupid fools I often meet."

Rock listened to this classic potion opening with relish.

This is a show of strength from the potion professor. Leaving a deep impression on the little wizards for the first time will help future teaching.

Each professor has his own routine. Next, Snape will draw a "lucky person" to ask questions.

If he can take classes with Gryffindor, then this lucky person will be directly designated as Harry.

Snape quietly closed the roll call in his hand. He didn't like those students who loved to show off, because it would remind him of someone he hated.

Rock was unlucky, not only because of Flitwick's praise, but also because of-

Rock's outstanding temperament and handsome appearance forced him to show off. He didn't even need to make extra moves, because there were always people secretly paying attention to him, even in class.

"Rock Anderson!"

Snape's voice immediately drew the attention of several students who were peeking at Rock back.
