Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 14 [Dalaran Cannon Fodder Mage Training Manual] ~
When Ted went to bed at night, he looked at the number in his experience pool: 462!

100 of these points are rewards for the mission [Explore Diagon Alley (Green)].

Just today during the day, I finally waited for the "Flubang Headquarters" to open.

He pretended to be curious and went in to take a look, then was asked to leave.

Ted: If you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach tomorrow! Humph!

But the mission was accomplished, and the last 1% of exploration was finally completed.

The reward for this mission is a random card.

When Ted collects his reward, he is presented with three cards from which he can choose one.

The first card shows a "long-eared" owl holding an envelope.

[Magic Postman: Jimmy the Red-horned Owl (Green)]

Summoning card

Jimmy is a small owl messenger. Although it has difficulty sending large packages, it is very fast and delivers mail first-classly.

Number of uses: 1/1, permanent.

This card will disappear after use, and Ted will have an extra magic owl.

The second card shows a magic book with a black cover, a blood-red title, and black smoke emitting.

【"A Guide to Black Magic in the Seventeenth Century" (Green)】

item card

A magical tome that records the black magic popular in the 17th century. Be careful not to let others know you have it. Its author is notorious.

The third card showed a firecracker exploding and a fat, ferocious wild boar leaping out. There were also some lines drawn next to it, indicating that it was running very fast and fiercely!

[Wild boar throwing cannon (green)]

item card

A prank toy. If you throw this firecracker on the ground and it explodes, an imaginary wild boar will appear and chase others.

Lasts 30 seconds, with a 5 hour cooldown.

Finally, Ted chose the [Wild Boar Firecracker (Green)]. Although this thing can't hurt people, it can scare people.

This card can be used repeatedly.

Actually, that book on dark magic is pretty good, but the problem is that I don’t want to take any risks.

I'm about to go to school, and there's a lot of knowledge and magic waiting for me to learn. There's no need to risk being discovered by practicing black magic.

The Hogwarts library has the most complete books on the British wizarding world. Why is he in such a hurry to study the dark arts? Dumbledore is dead, right?

Keep a steady hand, don't waste time~
Looking at the 462 experience points in the experience pool, Ted felt very at ease.

Tomorrow is not only the beginning of school, but also the time to update knowledge about the other world. With experience in hand, there is no pressure in my heart.

sleep!

……

The next day, when Ted opened his eyes, he noticed the system's message:

"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [Dalaran Primary (Cannon Fodder Mage, crossed out) Battle Mage Training Manual (Green)] is discovered."

[Dalaran Primary (Cannon Fodder Mage, crossed out) Battle Mage Training Manual (Green)], records the learning and training materials for Dalaran mage apprentices. Requires 310 experience points to redeem.

Ted was stunned for a moment. Dalaran knew it all too well. More than ten years of Wower was no joke.

But what the hell is a cannon fodder mage?

Oh, I didn’t recognize you after you crossed it out and changed it to Battle Mage?
I can still recognize you even if you wear a vest!
But Ted has no choice now. At least this is related to magic, which is much better than chakra.

Changed!

310 experience points disappeared, and a lot of knowledge appeared in my mind...

After carefully going over the information that appeared in his mind, Ted understood it a little bit.

What is a junior battle mage?
A spellcaster who only knows a few low-level spells for combat.

This is clearly a cannon fodder mage!
Otherwise, those real wizards would definitely not only learn these combat spells, such as ice arrows, ice rings, fireballs, arcane missiles, etc., but studying the secrets of magic is the most important thing. It is also impossible for them not to have those magics that make life easier.

Judging from the knowledge and magic recorded in the Primary Battle Mage Training Manual, this person is more like a magic technician who has been training for two and a half years and then went to the front line! Pure consumables, screws on the war assembly line!

They don't want to train you to be a talent, they just need magic technical workers.

Okay, it's better than nothing.

According to the training manual, there are 16 spells to learn:
Frost: Frostbolt, Frost Armor, Frost Nova. Fire: Fire Blast, Fireball, Flamestorm.

Arcane: Arcane Intelligence, Arcane Missiles, Create Water, Create Food, Polymorph, Slow Fall, Magic Suppression, Blink, Awaken, Teleport·Dalaran.

Three ice spells, three fire spells, and the remaining ten arcane spells.

After training according to the training manual, by the time you "graduate", you will have reached the level of a level 20 mage in Azeroth, which means you are just a short step away from tasting the sweetness of being a mage.

As expected, he is a junior combat mage. It is obvious that he is not aiming to train a potential mage apprentice, but to train a magic cannon fodder with a little magical talent.

Only when there is a blizzard in the future can I be considered a wizard.

When there is a calm and composed big flaming explosion, it can be considered to have taken shape.

But it doesn’t matter. Although they are only used as cannon fodder, these sixteen spells are very important to Ted.

After all, there are fewer types of spell attack and defense in this magical world, which cannot be compared with Azeroth, where there is a world-destroying crisis every year.

Although this training manual is only green-grade alien knowledge, it is no less helpful to me than a psychic power manual of only a few pages.

Especially those arcane spells, which are worth studying!
……

Looking at Ted saying goodbye to him with his suitcase, Old Tom felt a little dazed.

It was as if Skinny Ted had asked about the cheapest room yesterday.

Two months passed quickly, and Ted finally gained some weight and grew a lot taller.

Fortunately, I bought a second-hand wizard robe that was larger, otherwise it would not fit me.

Now, he is going to school.

Old Tom wondered if he was getting old and actually began to feel sentimental.

"Kid, study hard and come back when you have time," he said.

Ted waved to Old Tom, opened the door of the Leaky Cauldron, and walked out onto the street.

Platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station was crowded with people, and there were some mysterious guys in strange costumes.

Ted was dragging a tattered suitcase, carrying a small leather suitcase, wearing second-hand wizard robes, carrying a wand, and a one-way train ticket in his pocket.

He found the third pillar between platforms 9 and 10. He reached out and touched it, and found that the pillar was solid - it required a certain initial velocity to pass through.

You have to bump into it; you can't get in by walking up to it.

The train was due to leave at 11 a.m. and it is now 10:40.

Ted came out very early, but the bus didn't give him any face.

Fortunately it’s not too late.

I crashed headfirst into a pillar, and the scene before me was completely different.

There were adults and children in robes everywhere, all kinds of owls were hooting, and cats were running around underfoot.

This is Platform 9!
Next to the platform is an old steam locomotive in red and black.

There’s a number “5972” on the front of the car – if it was “9527” it would be a sure win!

This thing should not be made by wizards. They can't make it, and they don't even understand the principles of the steam engine. Maybe they "requisitioned" it.

When I got on the train, there was a corridor on the right and a row of small carriages on the left. The decoration style was very "nostalgic", and it felt like it was decades ago.

Ted walked through several carriages and finally found Hermione under the guidance of Ansu.

"Here! Ted, here!" Hermione was calling him at the door of the box. Ansu fell on her shoulder.

"I thought you were going to be late!" she complained.

Ted smiled and said, "I underestimated the impact of the bus drivers' strike."

When Ted walked into the carriage, he saw that there were two children inside besides Hermione - a shy little fat boy who seemed a little taciturn and nodded and smiled at Ted a little awkwardly.

It's that kind of awkward but polite smile. It looks like someone with social difficulties.

The other one is younger than his peers, and his eyes look very smart, especially compared with the chubby boy next to him.

He had two round chestnut-colored mouse ears on his head, the same color as his hair. He was actually a sub-human!

Ted had also seen subhumans twice in Diagon Alley in the past two months, but had never communicated with them at close range.

I didn’t expect to see a, uh, mouse-eared person on the freshman train!

This is a huge change!
There are sub-humans among this year's wizards? That's incredible!
Hermione excitedly introduced him to Ted: "This is Neville, Neville Longbottom. You know him, right?"

Ah! I know, I know it too well. How could I not know it?
Hermione: This is a monthly ticket. You know what a monthly ticket is, right?
