The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 155 Castro Brussels Weekend
When Professor Jason allowed everyone to start the operation, Ryan immediately took out his wand and began to experiment with casting spells according to the professor's instructions.

"Expecto Patronus." After reciting the spell, Ryan found no reaction. This was a normal reaction, after all, the Patronus spell was also considered an advanced spell. If you can use this spell completely, you can even get extra points in the fifth-year Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination.

Naturally, the probability of such a spell being successful in one go is definitely very small, but the two people next to him are not much better. Professor Jason patiently reminded him: "You need happy memories in your heart and the determination to protect beautiful things. In short, you need enough positive emotions to release this spell."

Ryan began to recall the joy he felt when he got the golden finger and learned that he could go home. He also recalled the joy he felt when he saved many people before. Then he raised his wand,

"Expecto Patronus." Ryan saw a puff of silver smoke coming out of his wand. At the end of today's class, Ryan found that his spell could produce a large amount of silver smoke. The other two students were at a similar level.

"Very good," Professor Jason said with a smile, "I will bring a Dementor here next Friday afternoon. As long as you can use the Patronus Charm to block the Dementor's attack, it will be fine. As for the physical Patronus, it takes a long time to learn, so I won't make any requirements here."

The second time he practiced, he faced a real Dementor? Ryan was shocked. This operation was too fierce. You know, when Lupin taught Harry, he only used a Boggart as a teaching aid. Here, he used the real thing.

However, the other two students from the school did not show any surprise. After leaving the classroom, Ryan finally understood the reason after David's kind explanation.

Castrobrusho specializes in magical plants and magical animals, and they use a large number of various creatures in their teaching. Compared to the UK, where most magical creatures are relatively safe, the magical creatures in the Amazon are much more dangerous. So they thought it was normal to use Dementors as teaching aids this time, not to mention that there was a professor next to them, so there was absolutely no problem with safety.

By comparison, British wizard education is still somewhat lacking in this aspect. Ryan thinks this may be the reason why they came out for exchange and study this time. By comparing with other schools, they know their own shortcomings.

Everyone was very tired after studying, so we said goodbye to each other and went to eat.

The next day was Saturday, so Ryan planned to sleep in. When he was sleeping soundly in his bed in the morning, he was woken up by Hermione, and Ryan saw her standing in the room, fully dressed.

"Hurry up and get up. We can't slack off on our training every Saturday just because we're not at Hogwarts." She said loudly, pulling up the curtains to let the sunlight into the carriage.

Ryan had to be thankful that he had learned to wear pajamas to sleep in the UK for so many years, so he wouldn't be so rude now. But he was still very surprised and blocked the sunlight outside with his hands and said, "Hermione - this is my dormitory, how did you get in?"

"Don't you know that this carriage is the same as the dormitory in our school, where girls can enter the boys' dormitory. Legend has it that the founder of the school believed that boys were not as reliable as girls." Hermione raised her eyebrows and said. "It's really unfair." Ryan complained, then turned to Hermione and said, "Okay, I have to get up and wash up now. Please wait outside for a while."

After washing up, Ryan came to the corridor of the carriage, where Hermione was already waiting. Space folding magic was released here, so the corridor was very spacious, and they decided to practice here today.

Because today was the first practice of the school year, the two of them started a sparring match, which was a summary of the previous school year and a reference for the next step. Naturally, Ryan would limit his abilities to using spells and powers similar to Hermione's, otherwise the sparring match would be meaningless.

Through the long-term experience of studying magic together, Ryan found that although Hermione was not a genius in combat magic learning (Harry was a genius, he could use the Cruciatus Curse to knock Bella down just by listening to the spell, although he was only half-baked. But the fact that she fell down without backlash was very telling), her intelligence and hard work could make good achievements in most skills, including magic combat. For example, Hermione, who only mastered the spells in the textbook, performed better in the combat class than Daphne, who inherited the family tradition.

In this sparring, Ryan found that after many previous practices, Hermione began to slowly adapt to Ryan's completely unconventional tactics that were completely figured out from actual combat.

For example, she can now predict Ryan's movements by observing his actions, and then cast targeted spells. Many spells that Ryan could dodge in the past had to be blocked by the Armor Spell, and when Ryan moved his feet to change position, he was almost knocked down by the glass beads she suddenly conjured up.

Fortunately, Ryan had gained enough combat experience in the wasteland recently, so he was able to defeat Hermione in the sparring relatively easily. If he only had experience in dealing with zombies like before, he might have been defeated this time.

After the practice, the two panting people sat directly on the carpet in the corridor. Hermione wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I always thought that magic battles were like in books, two wizards waving their wands gracefully, and the flames formed by the collision of magic surrounded them. I never thought that magic battles were so tiring and required constant movement."

"Maybe wizards like Dumbledore's level can do what you said. But our current level is simply unable to judge the details of the opponent's incoming spells, and use magic power accurately to offset the opponent's magic or choose appropriate defensive spells. In this case, our only way in actual combat is to rely on dodging to avoid damage and create a better attack angle. After all, no matter how powerful the Killing Curse is, it will not cause damage if it can't hit." Ryan went back to the room and took out a pot of pre-prepared sugar and salt water and poured Hermione a cup and said.

"I think I've practiced hard enough, why do I still feel I can't compare to you?" Hermione asked a little depressed after taking a sip of water.

"After all, I have practiced longer than you. To be frank, these things require not only knowledge but also proficiency. If you don't practice enough, you will definitely fail. But to be honest, you can now use various magic in battle, which is already amazing. As far as I know, most students in Hogwarts don't appreciate this. When fighting, they only choose magic related to combat, which is far less flexible than you are now."

After hearing Ryan's compliment, Hermione felt a little embarrassed and her ears began to turn red. Just as she was about to say something, the sound of knocking on the glass window interrupted her.
