Chapter 4083 4085 [Study Hard]

In the subsequent flying lessons, Madam Hooch only taught everyone how to take off and land.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to teach more, it’s mainly because first-year students have really poor learning abilities.

Some people cannot even learn a simple takeoff and landing. Teaching them how to brake, accelerate, turn, maintain balance, etc. is simply forcing things to happen.

But even so, the students still had a lot of fun. After all, flying is a dream that humans have had since ancient times.

"It's so much fun. But it's a pity that I have to wait another week for the next flying lesson." Benjamin said reluctantly after the flying lesson ended.

"Thank you so much this time, otherwise, I would have been in trouble." Joey thanked Xiang Nan. If Xiang Nan hadn't acted in time, he wouldn't have known where he was taken by the flying broom.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Ride it a few more times in the future, and you'll get used to it."

"Severus, you are so good at everything. It's great to be your classmate." Gregory said admiringly.

"It's my honor to be your classmate." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

……

The next day, Thursday, was Transfiguration and Herbology class again.

In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall continued to explain the principles of Transfiguration and continued to ask students to turn matches into needles.

However, even though two classes have been taken, most students still cannot get started, and only a small number of students can make the match head slightly sharper.

"You need to practice more after class." Professor McGonagall looked at the students and said angrily, "Look at the needle that Severus turned into. It not only has a needle tip and a needle hole, but also has delicate textures. I'm sure that this needle will not turn into its original shape even after a year of use."

Xiang Nan added some delicate patterns to the needle he conjured this time, making the steel needle like a work of art, which made Professor McGonagall very satisfied.

Transfiguration has a time limit, which varies depending on the quality and size of the object and the magic power of the caster.

The average person can only perform Transfiguration for two or three days at most, but masters of Transfiguration like Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Voldemort can maintain it for several months or even years.

"Look at the homework you have done. I asked you to write a paper on the principles of Transfiguration, and the best of you only wrote half a page, while most of you just copied the contents from the book." Professor McGonagall pointed at Xiang Nan's paper and said, "Look at Severus's paper, he wrote a full ten pages, and it was densely packed.

Although I haven't read this paper in detail, my cursory glance at it shows that the level is very high. It is obvious that the author has consulted a lot of books and borrowed from a lot of materials.

The school library is not only accessible to Severus, but also to you. Reading more books and looking up more information will be beneficial to you.

Don't blame me for not reminding you, we have to take exams every grade, and it would be too embarrassing for you to fail the exam and be held back. "

After hearing what Professor McGonagall said, the students couldn't help but look stern.

……

In the subsequent herbal medicine class, Xiang Nan and others will help Sprout grow explosive mushrooms.

This is a kind of mushroom that explodes when mature. Although dangerous, its spores are important raw materials for making potions and magic props. For example, flaming potions, fiery fireworks, and explosive brandy...

Growing these exploding mushrooms is somewhat dangerous. Holes must be drilled into the wood, the spores are then stuffed into the holes, and then filled and compacted with sawdust.

You have to use a certain amount of force. Too little force means that there are too few sawdust, and the spores will not get enough nutrients and will not grow. Too much force will cause the spores to explode. Although the force is not strong, it is enough to hurt your fingers, so you need to be careful.

When it comes to controlling the strength, Xiang Nan is the best.

His orchid-like finger-smoothing technique allows him to make tofu balls, knead them into ham for pickling, and stuff sawdust into the holes. It is easy for him.

However, for other students, it is not so easy to control the strength.

It seemed that Gregory pressed too hard, causing an explosion. Not only did the wood being planted explode, but his hand was also bruised by the huge force of the explosion, and it immediately swelled up, causing him to almost cry in pain.

It was Xiang Nan who grabbed his hand and rubbed it a few times to promote blood circulation, relieve blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. After a while, Gregory's injured finger was healed.

This not only made him extremely grateful, but also allowed Xiang Nan to win another ten points for Ravenclaw.

……

The next day, Friday, there was another Charms class and a Herbology class.

In the Charms class, the Slytherin students looked at Xiang Nan with fear, fearing that Xiang Nan would pull out his wand and give them a "Hanging Bell" if they disagreed with him.

After all, even the seventh grade students were no match for him, let alone these rookies, they would not dare to go against Xiang Nan.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan was not Lucius. He had no interest in bullying these freshmen and ignored them at all. He listened attentively to Professor Flitwick's explanation of "Principles of Magic" throughout the class.

He insisted on waiting until students had a good understanding of "Principles of Magic" before formally teaching them spells, which was also in line with Xiang Nan's idea.

He knew a lot of spells, but he didn't have a deep understanding of "Principles of Magic", so he needed to make up for it. So he listened to the whole class with great interest.

Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others were somewhat dissatisfied. They did not want to learn such boring theories, but just wanted to learn a few interesting and cool spells as soon as possible so that they could satisfy their desire to be wizards.

After all, what kind of wizard is he if he can't even cast a spell.

"Oh my god, when are we going to learn real spells?"

"God, how much longer do we have to study 'Magic Theory'?"

"It's so boring. We've been in class for a week and we don't even know a single spell. Are we still wizards?"

They all complained, but only Xiang Nan felt that he had gained a lot.

……

On the following Saturdays and Sundays, Xiang Nan spent his time reading in the library, eagerly absorbing magical knowledge. He would also write down his questions and ask the professors at the school for advice.

In just a few days, he finished reading dozens of thick magic books, including "Collection of Magical Symbols", "Magic Phonetic Table", "Crazy Magic of Strange Wizard", "Guide to Medieval Witchcraft", "Selected Eighteenth Century Spells", "Curses and Counter-Curses", "Innovations in Magic" and "Today's Transfiguration Collection", etc. Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others were dumbfounded.

"Severus, no wonder you are so powerful." Gregory said admiringly, "I can't even understand the first page of the books you read."

"Yes, these books are like incomprehensible books to me. It's a wonder you can still read them." Joey turned two pages and put them down. He knew almost every word in these books, but when they were put together, he simply couldn't understand them.

“There’s a reason why you’re so good at studying,” Benjamin said with emotion.
