Chapter 411 Half a Talent

‘That shouldn’t be the case. Will completing the theoretical construction of the Transfiguration Technique help the learning of other magics? Or did I misjudge before? ’

Professor Snape stared at Andrew with surprise in his eyes.

He really didn't expect the current scene.

Because from the first day of class, he had made a judgment on the students of this class - none of them could play.

Yes, no one can beat it.

Even the know-it-all lady who likes to be in the limelight is still far behind. She doesn't know magic medicine and is just a high-end humanoid who stirs the crucible automatically.

If there is no spirituality, then there is no spirituality. At first glance, it is nothing more than an automatic stirring crucible for more expensive magic potions. Let alone an in-depth study of magic potions, the threshold of the blessed elixir may not be passed.

As for the one in front of me, he can be considered an orthodox wizard - although the potion is still a mid-range version of the automatic stirring crucible, at least he can behave like a wizard in terms of transformation, and counting the matter of catching Wormtail, he can be a normal wizard. comminicate.

As for his achievements, they are indeed remarkable, otherwise he would not have wasted his precious time on teaching laboratory courses.

But how come a student who is usually on the same level as an automatic stirring crucible shows such understanding in the theory of potions that most wizards cannot accept?

After a brief thought, he paused the potion making in his hands and took out an undisplayed animal potion ingredient from his collection.

"How do you think it should be handled, feel it."

ah?

Andrew looked at the unknown curved horn and touched it, and could only feel that its breath was very stable - unstable potions could not be stored at all.

He closed his eyes and tried to understand, but he could only feel a weak and unfathomable power.

‘Unless you use a magic wand to communicate through transfiguration, you won’t be able to guess. ’

He came to a conclusion and then looked at Professor Snape, "Can I use my wand to detect it?"

"Don't feel it?"

Professor Snape stared at Andrew and said, "The next one can't use the wand."

After several explorations, Andrew still shook his head - he really couldn't sense it.

But to his surprise, Snape made no comment, just went to the cauldron to continue brewing the potion, and then continued what he had just said.

It wasn't until the potion turned into a beautiful light golden color that Professor Snape stopped operating and turned his head to stare at him, "So, among the things I just described, what is the greatest effect of fire?"

"Ritual conditions in an occult sense."

Andrew answered without thinking.

It was the first time he heard such a description, but he agreed very much - it fit well with his thinking about magic.

"You did understand, but the sensitivity of the potion is so poor."

Professor Snape shook his head regretfully.

He can only be considered a half-talent. His acceptance of theoretical knowledge is much better than that of sixth- and seventh-grade students, but his spiritual understanding of the potion itself is insufficient.

So he is not the kind of wizard who can grow up completely on his own. He has to rely on a lot of training - but he has been dawdling since the first grade, so the accumulation is completely insufficient.

As for the course, I can understand it, but the class is obviously not for one student. The things I just said casually are not enough for the sixth and seventh grade students. The lower grade students will only explode the crucible after listening to them.

Although most people cannot understand the selected advanced classes, that is not a problem with basic education in schools. Basic education only precedes the OWLs exam.

However, there is hope.

Perception is insufficient and Transfiguration is enough, but at least I am qualified in Transfiguration, and my score in Herbology is not bad. I can make up for it by using Transfiguration more often to sense animal raw materials.

It can be considered that a young pharmacist can be born in five or six years, and he can publish some serious papers in serious journals without making some stuff that adds weight to the magazine.

"The potion talent is okay, but the knowledge of raw materials is too little. If you want to improve your performance, you can properly practice using the transformation technique to sense the materials."

Professor Snape nodded towards Andrew, "As for potion knowledge, we will use potions as examples in subsequent classes. Let's learn together. Your potion knowledge is too poor."

Although his daily grades were O, Andrew was not dissatisfied with this evaluation.

It was indeed bad - the potion he learned in class after class was a rigorous recipe, and the results were there for sure, but how could he not have such points?

"Okay, that's it for today's lesson. Before you come next time, recite the fifty-seven rules first, and then do the experimental study. Don't preview the content. Go back and review today's potion knowledge. I will do a spot check. "

Professor Snape began to chase people away after receiving a positive reply from Andrew - a lot of his precious time had been used, and although it was not a waste, he had no intention of dedicating the remaining personal time.

This is Minerva's gifted student, not his. If it were a Slytherin student, he could consider making up more lessons. Ravenclaw should study on his own after listening to it for so long.

"Transcribe it first to prevent forgetting."

Andrew sat at the experimental table and copied quickly - Professor Snape said it in detail, but not very systematically.

This is a potion concept based on the kind of potion that came out of Uganda. It is completely different from the set of potions that we learn every day. Fortunately, there is still the introduction of potions to connect them together.

‘I should have a shorthand quill, but I might be scolded as a self-stirring crucible. ’

Andrew wanted to laugh as he wrote.

He probably figured it out now. His talent for potions was barely passable. What was powerful was his ability to understand and cultivate through a complete education and his magical cognition with the help of his talent for Transfiguration.

Adding the two together, it was indeed a bit like blowing fish against his peers or even older students.

But as for studying, it was not shameful, even if it was a blow.

‘I still have a good foundation. If you add it up, I can be considered a pseudo-genius in potions. Half-step potion spiritual root perfection? No, it should be called pseudo-potion spiritual root. ’

After finishing the last bit of notes, he decided to subscribe to a potion magazine like the one in Professor Snape's office, just like the one for Transfiguration.

‘No, there is also material perception. Professor Snape specifically asked for it. It is very important. ’

He glanced at the empty laboratory and recalled the layout of Professor Snape's office - a whole wall was full of various potion raw materials collected by Professor Snape, no matter how precious they were. Andrew even saw several obvious contraband raw materials.

‘But the experimental items can be bypassed. I remember the professor’s purchasing authority is different. So let’s exclude those first, apply for approval, and buy the rest directly.’

Anyway, there’s no rush for experiments, so let’s focus on potion science first—there’s plenty of funds for the laboratory, so there’s no need to worry about overspending.
