Chapter 489: Magic Needs Constant Exploration

The outcome of Sunday's game was as predicted.

Strategic player Ron defeated Seamus and Lavender and successfully won the first promotion spot.

The other one was won by Harry, who had never appeared in the third game and was extremely unlucky.

The starting hand was Godric Gryffindor with the sword, and then it was either the Sorting Hat or Hogwarts Castle. Dean, with an explosive mentality, immediately gave up in both games.

On the other hand, Black Swan...

There were only two games played in the whole day, and the door was open as if it were closed.

Although there was no excitement on the other side, Draco was still arrogant.

When the cheers started ringing out to celebrate the promotion of the two young lions today, he swaggered over with the black swans.

"Stupid cards make stupid people advance."

"Get out!" Ron clenched his fists and his face turned red.

"No one welcomes you here, Malfoy!"

Draco smiled contemptuously and glanced towards the ring.

Vincent was sitting on it as if watching a play, holding an ice cream that he didn't know where it came from.

"Wes, come on, I'm here to announce something!"

He raised his chin high and pointed his nostrils right at Harry.

"Listen to me, I have decided to double the total prize money for the wizard card. If you are interested, you can quit this silly game at any time and join us!"

100,000 galleons?

Lucius couldn't hold it any longer?

The outside world still doesn't know the situation of the Hogwarts Campus Competition, and increasing the actual prize money will indeed help increase the value of wizard cards.

I guess I don’t have friends from the media to help...

Vincent licked the ice cream and watched their backs as they left triumphantly.

I'm tired of the olive flavor, so I'll try the strawberry flavor next time.

That night,

Rita is faced with another difficult choice.

Should he go against his conscience and brag about the Wizard card, or should he save some sense of integrity and tell the truth?

The chubby Gugu’s eyes widened.

"I know, I'll get it for you now."

She opened the drawer and picked up a packet of dried fish.

Even if you have gold galleons, you can't get into Azkaban.

After eating, Gugu shook her big butt, as if to warn her to make a careful choice.

With a little paw kick, it slowly flew away.

Rita bit down on the barrel of her pen and after a moment wrote the first word.

…

…

After dawn.

The students who were eating breakfast and reading newspapers all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

In one paragraph, the Daily Prophet was praising the generous prize money of the Wizarding Card Campus Competition, and in the next paragraph, it was praising the number of participants in Gwent.

It seems to be mocking the Wizards card for spending money to recruit people to sign up, and it also seems to be mocking the poverty of Gwent card.

Taking a closer look, it seems that this is not the case at all.

What does it mean to increase the bonus to maintain the value of wizard cards?

Why do you mean that 90% of students sign up for Gwent and see no future?

Offend both sides?

But the last paragraph lists the advantages of the two cards.

Wizard cards are beautifully crafted and of very high value.

Gwent is priced at an affordable price, so you can play it with confidence.

With this schizophrenic writing style, is it definitely the famous Rita Skeeter?

Hermione would rather believe that she has a crush on Vincent than believe that she has a mental problem.

Because she already had mental problems, and now her condition is just getting worse.

After Herbalism and Transfiguration, there was Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon.

Professor Duoji is teaching the expulsion spell today.

"Each type of creature has a different spell."

He stepped down from the podium and motioned to his two assistants to come up and demonstrate.

First there are insects.

Vincent's spellcasting speed was very fast and he drove them to the opposite side in no time.

Draco hurriedly chanted the spell, "Insects retreat!"

The spell worked, but not fully.

A little praying mantis jumped up to the forehead, then slid down the back of the neck and into the clothes.

"Damn it!" He jumped around scratching and scratching, not noticing that the scattered insects were driven over again.

What Harry and Ron were most looking forward to did not happen.

Doggy waved his wand and pointed it at Draco, causing the little mantis to fly out of his trousers.

"Ugh—" Seamus, who was the nearest, quickly covered his nose.

He dared to swear to Merlin's portrait that he must have smelled a stink just now.

Dean next to him pretended to sniff it several times, "Merlin's straight pants! The smell is disgusting!"

Draco shivered and scratched his butt.

Insult him?

Can you bear it?

I can't bear it!

"Finigan! Thomas!"

Dorje returned to the podium.

He first nodded to Vincent with satisfaction, then faced the students,

"I believe everyone understands the importance of the expulsion spell, right?"

"Professor, we all understand deeply!"

Draco, who suppressed his blush, glared at Vincent.

A sneak attack, right? Wait!

The second time was for small animals, such as lizards, turtles, and axolotls.

The result was obvious. If Duoji hadn't been prepared, he would have climbed onto him.

"Before the third presentation, I want to ask everyone a question."

Dorje stood between the two people on the podium, "Mr. Wayne was able to accurately drive the subject to the designated place twice. Does anyone know why?"

Hermione raised her little hands.

"Miss Granger, please answer."

She stood up, "because the gestures and pronunciation of the spell are slightly different."

Vincent demonstrated in slow motion very cooperatively.

"Inania Exumai——" Hermione recited a standard insect dispelling spell, and then made the same spell-casting gesture as him,

"Just like this, the effect of this range of magic can be enhanced.

Vincent changed Exumai's Ex-oo-may to Ex-att-may, and the insect dispelling became a directional spell. "

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

She made the spell-casting gesture again and recited the modified spell,

"Compared to insect dispelling, I think this spell should be called insect driving."

Dorje’s applause rang out,

“First of all, I have to commend Mr. Wayne for his courage in modifying the spell.

Next, I would like to commend Miss Granger for seeing these subtle changes. "

He nodded in relief to the two of them, "What you learn in class is not absolute. More amazing magic requires people to continue to explore.

Whether it's Potions or Transfiguration, or Alchemy or Divination, we should all be brave while remaining cautious.

Being the same is boring. I hope that the magical world will become more interesting and colorful in the future. "

Vincent and Hermione, who understood, immediately clapped their hands and applauded.

Daphne slowed down for a moment, and then the students applauded one after another.

Harry's little hands turned red, "Ron, Professor Dorje will stay at Hogwarts next semester, right?"

"His teaching ability is much better than the previous ones. How could Professor Dumbledore let him leave?"

Duoji shyly signaled the students to quiet down.

"Originally there was one last demonstration in this class, but I don't think anyone is interested in continuing."

He nodded his thanks to Vincent and Draco,

"So, I decided to let everyone practice in advance to practice the driving spell discovered by Mr. Wayne!"
