Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 307 On the Importance of Holding Your Breath

After completing his plan, Eisen returned to Hogwarts.

At this moment, he was sitting on the chair in the office, quietly thinking about everything he had felt before.

How should I put it, although the effect of the energy-draining runes engraved on the body was too good, it did make him feel very satisfied.

Next, in the second competition, Aisen can move freely underwater.

However, should I reveal my ability to move freely underwater?After thinking for a moment, Aisen felt that it was completely unnecessary. He could just put a bubble spell on himself when the time came.

After all, when he developed a method of absorbing energy, he just thought of one of his shortcomings from the second competition event and then made up for it.

After gathering his thoughts, Aisen stood up and looked down at the field outside through the window.At this moment, the snow that had been covered on the field gradually melted.

The little wizards walked out of the castle, shuttled through the grounds, and moved towards the school gate.

The Durmstrang ship was moored on the Black Lake, with many people on the deck.

Several students, including Viktor Krum, wore a pair of swimming trunks and played diving.It can be seen that they live in colder places all year round, which makes their cold resistance much higher.

As time passed, the atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle gradually became depressing again.This is because the professors of various subjects in the school assign too much homework, which makes everyone complain.

So, even though the little wizards didn't make any big waves before February came, some small problems would always appear.

Just when Eisen thought that the depressive atmosphere in Hogwarts would continue until the start of the second competition, something surprising happened to everyone during the first dueling class after February.

When the dueling class was coming to an end, the principal of Beauxbatons School, Mrs. Maxime, took the initiative to discuss with Professor McGonagall, hoping to add some swimming training to the next few dueling classes.

Since Dumbledore left Hogwarts, everything in the school has fallen on Professor McGonagall.

I don’t know why Madam Maxime wanted to add swimming training to her dueling class, but Professor McGonagall agreed because she was a guest.

Although Professor Snape was dissatisfied with this, he didn't say anything in the end.

Eisen suspected that this suggestion might be related to the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, but since the opponent did not blatantly cheat, he didn't think it mattered.

After all, as a safety officer, you don't have to care about the outcome of the game.

As for Cedric, well, there is nothing much to say about joining the swimming training and being at the same starting point as Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's warriors.

But, what is the use of swimming training for the second event?Do you want to jump from the deck into the lake every day like Klum of Durmstrang?
After the dueling class, several professors gathered together to talk about it.

"I think adding swimming training to dueling classes is completely nonsense!" This is Blake's opinion.

"It is indeed a waste of time." Professor Flitwick said slowly, "If you want to focus on the second competition event, it is better to practice more spells!"

"Filius is right." Eisen agreed, and then changed his tone, "But, will swimming training speed up the warrior's underwater activities?"

"It's not that simple!" Professor Snape sat on the soft cushion with a hint of disdain on his face, "The speed of moving underwater is one thing, but fighting with a wand is another—"

"But the time is too short, they will never be able to do this." After pondering for a while, Eisen glanced at several professors, "I guess Mrs. Maxim's original intention is this, what do you think, Minerva?"

"It's okay, Cedric will also participate in the training." Professor McGonagall said nonchalantly.

It can be seen that she has already understood Mrs. Maxim's purpose.But just as Aisen thought, since warriors from three schools participated in the training together, there was no need to worry too much.

"That's right!" Professor Flitwick smiled, "No matter what Madam Maxime's purpose is, as long as the warriors participate in swimming training together, it is fair!"

"I want to say in advance that I won't participate in any swimming training!" Hearing this, Eisen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Seeing Aisen's attitude, several professors laughed.

……

After returning to the office, Eisen recalled the previous conversation and found some problems.Well, it seems that there are many problems discovered during this period.

Previously, the issues and scenarios that Eisen had been considering were all above the ground.

The same goes for simulated battles in the dream world.

Whether it is casting various offensive spells to attack, or using transformation to change various weapons to attack, or fighting through phantom invisible teleportation combined with casting spells, Aisen has always been able to fight against his opponents. Fight in the open.

At most, it is to add some elements such as jungles, mountains, swamps, deserts, etc. to the surrounding environment.

Having said all this, what Eisen wants to say is that he has never considered more complex battle scenes.For example, in the high pressure of the deep sea, in volcanic magma, in the universe and so on.

However, after thinking about it, Eisen realized that this problem didn't seem to be a problem at all.

Because in this world, he seems to have never encountered such a complicated battle scene.Yes, who would go out of their way to fight Eisen in the deep sea or in space?Obviously, this is impossible.

But if we don't talk about combat and just talk about survivability, Eisen is still confident that he can survive in these extreme environments for a long time.Especially after imprinting and solidifying the ability to absorb energy into his body, he became even more confident.

Since there is no problem with survivability, it means that some complex environments actually have little impact on Aisen's combat spellcasting ability.

Unless - there are some so-called "forbidden demon" places in this world.

But does such a place exist in this world?It should not exist!Eisen is not sure about this.

To give a simple example, you cannot disapparate in Hogwarts.Because the entire school was under an anti-Apparition spell.So, if the analogy continues, wouldn't it be a matter of course that an unknown place has been cast a "counter-casting" spell?
Although it is unlikely that such a place or such a spell exists, when thinking about the level of magical idealism in this world, Aisen is not 100% sure.

What if this counter-casting spell is developed one day in the future?
Once he falls into a "forbidden" place, how should he fight the enemy?In other words, how to get out?Spending time in the dream world to slowly figure out a solution?Or is it solved by traveling back in time?

Tsk tsk——, in theory, both methods can give Eisen enough time to solve this problem.

But in fact, without personal experience, Eisen cannot be sure whether it will work or not.However, it is necessary to simulate it in the dream world later.

Wait - it seems that with a superhuman body of steel, he is not afraid of the so-called "forbidden demon" scene.Oh, that’s okay!
Thinking of this, the smile on Aisen's face suddenly spread.

……

In the following period, as Eisen expected, as the second competition approached, the depressing atmosphere in Hogwarts gradually eased.

What makes the little wizards even more excited is that every duel class includes a half-hour water combat event.

Uh--, maybe it can also be called swimming training?
Anyway, senior wizards can indeed cast a few spells while diving into the water.

But compared to casting spells on the ground, their spell casting speed and spell power are much weaker in the water.But their level only goes so far.

As for fighting with each other, after training a few times, it seems to be working.

As for the little wizards below the fourth grade, basically they really regarded fighting in the water as swimming training.

After another duel lesson, there are only four days left before the second event.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the professors in the school are a little more relaxed about the lessons for young wizards.This puts everyone's attention on the upcoming competition in the second event.

But these basically have no impact on Eisen.Since the ability to absorb energy was engraved and solidified on his body, he has returned to his previous rhythm.

At noon the next day, after eating in the auditorium, Eisen came to the library and unexpectedly found the trio gathered in a corner, seemingly looking through some information.

The sunlight outside the window shone in, casting the shadows of several people onto the bookshelf, with a precarious posture.

"Why are you all here?" Eisen came directly to the reading table and sat down.

"Professor Aisen..." The three of them turned around at the same time when they heard the voice. When they saw Aisen, they all said hello.

To Eisen's surprise, Hermione looked full of energy, while Harry and Ron looked hopeless, as if they had been hit by something.

Turning her eyes, Hermione saw a piece of parchment placed in front of her, with several large words written on it: House Elves' Legal Rights Claim!

This line of writing immediately confused Eisen.

"What are you planning to do?" Eisen glanced at Harry.

"Well, Hermione plans to write some articles in the name of the House Elf Rights Promotion Association and submit them to the Daily Prophet. We are helping with some help!" Harry said while he and Ron calmly put the papers in their hands. The parchment was folded.

"Uh, okay, that's a good way!" Eisen wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, then took out a gold coin and placed it in front of Hermione, "I give you the greatest support in terms of money! "

"Thank you, Professor!" Hermione happily put the gold coins away.

"By the way, Professor, you have found the clue to the golden egg. Have you solved the secret inside?" As if he wanted to get rid of the house-elf-related topic, Ron directly changed the topic.

This topic attracted Harry and Hermione, and they both looked at Eisen at the same time.

"Yes, do you want to try it?"

Eisen twisted his neck and placed the golden egg on the table.Immediately afterwards, a transparent water tank appeared nearby, and then the water tank was filled with clean water.

"Let me try!" Hermione stood up from her seat, picked up the golden egg, stuffed it into the water, and then opened the golden egg in the water.

To their surprise, the golden egg did not scream.

"Is that singing?" Harry leaned forward and listened carefully, but he didn't hear clearly what the sound was.

"I can't seem to hear clearly!" Ron looked confused.

"Yes, but you can put your head in and listen." Aisen smiled and nodded.

The trio looked at each other, then without saying a word, just stuck their heads in.For a moment, the singing became clearer:

Look for us, where our voices ring, we cannot sing on the ground.

As you search, please consider carefully that we have snatched away your most beloved treasure.

You have but one hour to find and regain the object we have taken, and after that hour there is no hope, it is gone, never to be seen again.

slam-la-

The three heads emerged from the water, and the water waves caused wet their clothes and the floor of the library.

Aisen waved his hand, and three warm currents rushed into their bodies, directly evaporating the water on their heads.Then, he closed the golden egg and took it out, and then cleaned up the water tank and water on the ground.

"How's it going? Isn't it very simple?" Eisen pulled out the chair and the trio sat down again.

"Professor, you are looking for people who can't make a sound on the ground -" Harry took off his glasses and looked at them. They were clean without any water stains, and then put them back on.

"But who is that?" Ron spread his hands.

"If it can't make a sound on the ground, then it must be an underwater creature. In addition to giant squids, there are also mermaids in the black lake!" Hermione rolled her eyes and quickly thought of something. possible.

"So, the second project is to go find mermaids in the water? That's so cool!" Ron showed an excited expression, as if he wanted to do it himself.

"It's not that simple. Didn't you hear clearly? The song said that the professor has one hour to find it, which means the mermaid may be hiding in the deepest part of the lake!" Harry reached out and patted the armrest hard.

"Professor, are you ready?" Hermione looked at Eisen with a worried look on her face.

"What?" Eisen looked over in surprise.

"Stay in the water for an hour!" Hermione frowned, "Professor, what method are you going to use to stay underwater for an hour?"

"There must be some kind of spell that can keep people underwater for an hour -" Ron said nonchalantly.

"Maybe some potions can do it." Harry nodded in agreement, then seemed to think of something, and then said, "Transfiguration must be no problem, the professor's transfiguration is so powerful-"

"Yes, Professor, you can turn into a submarine, so you are not afraid of water!" Hermione's brows stretched, and Eisen's eyes shone brightly!

Hearing Hermione's idea, Eisen almost couldn't help but roll his eyes.Transformation can indeed solve the problem of underwater survival, but turning into a submarine is too exaggerated.

If you follow Hermione's thinking, it would be better to turn it into a long hose for easy use.

In this way, one end is tied outside the lake, the other is held in the mouth, and you can stay in the water as long as you want.

"By the way, Professor, you can use scuba, right?" Harry seemed to have thought of something, stood up and screamed.

"Scuba?" Ron looked at Harry doubtfully.

Hermione looked at Harry in surprise, and then explained the function of scuba to Ron.

"There are such useful things in the Muggle world, so Professor Eisen must use them!" Ron gave Harry a thumbs up, and then said, "There are still several days before the competition, Professor Eisen, you have to Went to the muggle shop to buy a scuba gear."

Harry and Hermione also looked at Eisen eagerly.

Apparently, they all agreed that Aisen's use of scuba was the most convenient and effective method.As long as you buy a scuba device in a Muggle store in advance and put it in a storage ring, you can take it out and use it during the competition.

"This method is indeed good, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome!" Eisen smiled and waved his hand, "Actually, as long as you can hold your breath, it's enough!"

"Hold your breath?" After hearing Aisen's method, the trio suddenly became confused.

"Professor, are you kidding?" After being stunned for a moment, Harry couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Of course not!" Eisen raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment and said slowly, "You should know about Guinness World Records, right?"

"What is that?" Ron asked impatiently.

"It is a record in the Muggle world that proves the best in the world..." Harry and Hermione introduced Ron to what the Guinness World Records were.

"I didn't expect that the Muggle world would have such a record. It's simply amazing!" After hearing this, Ron couldn't help but marvel.

"Professor, you mean, the Guinness Book of World Records has a record of holding your breath underwater?" Harry looked surprised.

"I'm not sure, but I think there is." Eisen smiled and shook his head. "It is said that some ordinary people can hold their breath underwater for more than 10 minutes after professional training. But as a wizard, Isn’t it a very simple thing to hold your breath underwater for an hour?”

Although I don’t know if there was a Guinness World Record for holding one’s breath underwater in 1995, Eisen clearly remembers that in his previous life, there were fierce men who could hold one’s breath underwater for more than 24 minutes.

So, as a wizard, shouldn't it make sense to be able to hold your breath underwater for an hour?

Ahem——, well, it was actually Aisen who cheated.Because with the ability to absorb energy, Eisen no longer needs to breathe, which means that he has no problem staying with each other underwater for how long.

However, as a safety officer, Aisen just wants to better provide safety protection for other warriors!Cheating or something like that is not a given!

ps: Thanks to "A Sad City" for the 5000 point reward.
