Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

"Are you relieved now?" Sainz spread out his hands, and the two stone balls that were just in his hands had disappeared.

"Mr. Autumn, Conte never knew...you will become a great wizard in the future, just like Dumbledore...Oh!"

"Thank you for your affirmation, can we get started now?"

"At your service, sir!"

"Okay, here are a hundred baseballs. Of course, I won't be able to use so many right now. I need you to throw them to me quickly. I will dodge or block. As long as I get hit once, the simulation will be over."

"Yes sir!"

In the past, Sainz practiced dodging with fixed obstacles, just moving between them alone. He felt it was time to practice dodging moving targets.

In the early stages, a prominent target like a baseball will be used, and in the next stage the target will be reduced in size, replaced with a marble or something, and finally replaced with a small steel ball or something smaller.

The colors also gradually transition from bright and eye-catching at the beginning to invisible colors or colorless, striving to simulate the scene of being shot by magic.

"Okay, set, go!"

From that day on, Sainz had one more training item in the Room of Requirement, and his life became more fulfilling.

Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, time is starting to get a little tight.

It can be predicted that in the near future, with the addition of black magic research, potion brewing, magical plant cultivation, and magical animal research, time will become increasingly insufficient.

Of course, knowledge is interconnected, and many times, when dealing with a problem, we cannot differentiate between disciplines dogmatically.

Sainz believed that if he truly studied Transfiguration in depth, he would be able to deal with most problems.

The same is true for Charms. Take Defense Against the Dark Arts for example. Most of the time, the response method he uses is just spells.

It's just that because people need to deal with this kind of situation specifically, some spells specifically for this kind of situation are summarized and trained together.

As for Sainz, he believes that wizards only have two real subjects: spells and potions.

In fact, all other disciplines are extensions of these two disciplines, including Transfiguration and Alchemy.

Of course, this is just his own understanding. I believe that if he presents this set of heresy to Professor McGonagall, she will definitely teach him a lesson.

To extend this a little further, Sainz believes that the wizards' knowledge can be classified into two categories, one is external and the other is their own.

External: Study various plants, animals, minerals, etc., and use these magical substances to make potions or items, which is alchemy and magic.

Your own: Use various methods - or a wand, or a spell, or perhaps the mind - to guide your own magic power to achieve all kinds of incredible purposes.

In the final analysis, it is all about using the mind to guide magic to achieve various goals.

Because, when you reach a certain stage in your practice, magic wands and spells are no longer necessary!

After thinking about it this way, Science suddenly guessed that when the first ancestors discovered magic, they just mixed some animals and plants together by chance, and never expected that some incredible magical phenomena would appear?

Forget it. Thinking about these things doesn’t seem to be of any use to me right now.

Since coming into contact with the magical world, he has also read some books. Generally speaking, modern magic is obviously much more sophisticated than in ancient times.

This is a good sign!

Sometimes, some people always have a strange idea of ​​worshipping the ancient and despising the present, believing that the so-called ancient and super-ancient magic is great, and that the present magic is a technological regression...

If there were a world where ancient technology was always more advanced than today’s, and today’s technology was always more advanced than future technology, such a world...how desperate would that be!

…………

Before entering school, Sainz read all the textbooks for grades one to three. After half a year of self-study, he had basically mastered the content before grade three. He is now reading and studying the content for grade four on his own.

In between, there is the practice of the Patronus Charm, which can be found in "Encounter with the Faceless Monster".

"Iksibaiketou - Pochuino (Expediate Gods)!"

A large amount of silvery-white smoke spurted out from the tip of the light blue applewood wand, like a ball of steam, gathering above his head, slowly spinning around him, flashing a beautiful and delightful silver light.

Not surprisingly, this phenomenon has been going on for some time.

Sainz knew deep down that this was a response to him being too calm.

The Patronus spell requires positive and happy emotions to guide it, but perhaps because his temperament is too peaceful, he has not been able to complete the cohesion of a complete Patronus.

Sainz really didn't know where his true happiness came from. Even when he was reborn and lived a second life, he accepted it calmly and was not overly excited or happy.

The time period when he really had emotional fluctuations seemed to be the first time he discovered that he had super powers. But, how should I put it, later he couldn't use them anymore, and he felt relieved again, and it seemed that the happy mood didn't last long.

Thinking back on my past and present lives, there really seems to be nothing that makes me happy when I think about it...

Seems a bit sad?

………………

In terms of Transfiguration, fourth graders begin to learn about the Conversion Spell, which can transform the whole or part of one thing into another, that is, it can achieve partial transformation.

Here, Sainz's previous speculations about Transfiguration and Charms were further verified.

In his understanding, the conversion spell is more like a summoning spell or an exchange spell than a transfiguration spell.

When it is realized, it will transform the whole or part of the original object into another substance.

For example, in the original storyline, when Hermione was worried about Harry's participation in the Triwizard Tournament, she had imagined using a conversion spell to transform a dragon's fangs into wine gums or something.

Later she thought that in order to cast the conversion spell successfully, the spell must first be able to penetrate the fire dragon's skin, but the fire dragon's magic resistance was almost maximum, so she gave up this idea.

The learning of Transfiguration is gradual, with the first graders learning to transform small objects, such as a match into a needle;

In the second grade, we start to transform larger objects;

The third grade content is to turn objects into living things;

Fourth graders learn to turn living things into objects;

In the fifth grade, students learn about the transformations between living things.

Being able to do all this, he is already a qualified ordinary wizard in terms of Transfiguration.

In fact, a large number of wizards cannot even do this.

However, Professor McGonagall did not strictly follow this order when teaching, but taught them in an interspersed manner.

According to the rules of Hogwarts, only those who score well or above in the Ordinary Wizarding Transfiguration Examination are allowed to enter the Transfiguration Advanced Class to learn Transfiguration related to the human body.

Sainz can now turn some small objects into living things, such as turning a teacup into a mouse, and is currently trying to turn a mouse into a teacup.

All plans are proceeding in an orderly manner as originally envisioned.
