Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 9 The Opportunity to Awaken the Bloodline
The pace of time is silent, it always passes inadvertently.

From green to golden, from flourishing to fruitful, it has been a year since John entered school.

Excluding the time spent living and maintaining Hal's friendship during this year, the rest of the time was spent by John learning magic knowledge.

For John, learning magic is a joy, and the feeling of progress every moment really makes people lose track of time.

So the time passed when he was devoting himself to study, like a rushing river.

Moreover, unlike the modern school education model of Hogwarts, the education model of Howl World Academy of Magic is the ancient apprenticeship system.

The teacher will choose the student he likes as an apprentice, and impart his knowledge. There may be some unknown transactions, but generally speaking, a teacher will only accept three apprentices at most.

Just like Hal was chosen as a student by Salliman.

The chosen teacher of John is a gentle old man holding a bird-head cane, wearing a gray suit and a golden dragon-shaped brooch, his gray hair and beard are neatly groomed, and he always pays attention to his appearance.

Although the other party looks more like a royal nobleman, this old man is indeed a powerful magician no less than Saliman in the magic world.

Through the introduction of the servants at the time, the old man who accepted him as an apprentice was no less powerful than Suliman in the magic world, and he was also one of the vice presidents of the Magic Academy—Master Fizeley.

During this year, John followed Master Fizeley on the road of magic.

Because of John's enthusiasm for magic, his hard work and diligence in learning, and his extraordinary talent in the eyes of others, Frazer's initial impression of John was very good.

Gradually, as time went by, Frazer began to treat John as his disciple.

Not only began to teach John the knowledge that would only be taught after the magic level reached a certain level, but even a considerable part of star magic was included.

He even used the power of the vice principal to add an extra rune to the door of John's room. This rune leads to a library that can only be accessed by application.

At the same time, as long as he doesn't disturb Fizeley during the rest time he ordered, John can ask him about magic at any time.

So within a year, with the help of John's almost crazy enthusiasm for learning, as well as his memory and comprehension beyond ordinary people, his magic level has been equivalent to the average level of other three-year apprentices
Here I want to briefly explain, because unlike Hogwarts, there is no concept of grades, so it is called a few years of apprentices according to the years of learning by the teacher.

In this one-year study, John, who is no longer a beginner, divides the knowledge he has learned into three parts, namely: spells, magic circles, and props

The first is the spell, which is a kind of short-term strengthening of the connection between oneself and the world through a specific language, so as to exert the power related to elements or concepts.

For example, the mantra "Aulkan ameqran, sli i tzallit-inu", which translates to "great flame, follow my will", is manifested by releasing a fireball forward, which is the fireball technique in other magical works .

Although the stronger the connection with the world conduction, the magician can cast spells without chanting spells.

But this does not mean that the spell is useless. If the magician chanted the spell at this time, the power of the spell cast would be enhanced to a terrifying level.

The second is the magic circle, which is a kind of assisting the magician by constructing lines in a circular frame, connecting the power of all things or gods through sympathy, and inputting magic power into it.

For example, when Hal moved the house and changed the structure of the house, he first drew the magic circle, and with the help of the magic circle, he strengthened Calcifer's power, so that he could instantly transfer the castle and change the internal structure at the same time.

Next is props, which is a general term for a large category, such as amulets, staffs, etc. are included.

Although there are many types, the core is still two basic principles.

By pursuing the connection between the object and the essence, the influence can be transmitted from one thing to another, and the color or the pronunciation of the name of the thing itself can produce sympathy to a certain extent, resulting in a complex chain of causality that connects the gods or gods. Things are connected together.

For example, the lapis lazuli pendant worn on John's neck is using rituals to bestow the lapis lazuli with vitality to refine it into an amulet. To some extent, the amulet is a kind of man-made spirit.

With the help of lapis lazuli, it can amplify the sympathetic characteristics of magic effects, allowing it to independently deepen the connection between the wearer and the Magic Academy. As a credential, it can also allow the academy to detect the status of the wearer at any time, and can be generated at the cost of breaking when danger occurs. Magic that protects the wearer.

The same is true for wands, which are very similar to wands in the main world. Using the characteristics of various materials, they are integrated into a whole through rituals to give vitality, and with the help of their sympathetic characteristics, they can assist in casting spells or enhance magic effects.

All of this uses rituals, which is an advanced magic application that combines incantations and magic circles.

The relevant knowledge teacher Fizelei just mentioned it briefly, and out of curiosity, John learned more about the relevant knowledge in the library.

But out of prudence, he finally chose to study the basic theory by himself. As for how to perform the ceremony and what standard to combine the spell with the magic circle, he has not studied it in depth for the time being.

This is not the knowledge that must be mastered at this stage. Anyway, as the learning progresses, Teacher Fei Zelei will naturally teach relevant knowledge on his own initiative.

It's a pity that the plan often can't keep up with the changes, just like John has no mood to wait until that day
The reason is that John is repeatedly reading the contents of the notes in his hand in the room at the moment. This is a ceremony taught by Professor Fizeley today, the most primitive and dangerous ceremony in the magic world, and the transaction ceremony with the gods
"In addition to the two basic principles of magic, there is another trading principle that can be said to be dangerous"

"The so-called gods are the materialization of all aspects of the known universe. Through various attempts, wizards in the past finally created a ritual to communicate with the gods."

"The gods complied with the transaction, giving the wizards meat, property, or promising good results to their actions, etc."

"'If you give, I will give back', this is the core of the trading principle"

"In addition to trading with the gods who represent the materialization of the universe, you can also trade with the spirits that are born in the universe all the time"

"Religion believes that the universe is created by the divine light overflowing from the Creator, and the divine light combines with the matter in the created universe to give birth to various powerful spirits"

"In the eyes of our magicians, these spirits are essentially the materialization of the universe. Unlike the gods, the spirits have a very short lifespan and are very fragile, and may dissipate in the universe not long after they are born."

"Later, through research, it was found that spirits often come to the world with meteorites from the universe, and trade with them before they dissipate, and spirits can use the traded objects to produce shapes. The essence of angels and demons is the spirit after the transaction."

"But my apprentice, you have to remember that although trading will often get you what you want, this kind of trading is also two-way. Only those that are precious enough can get precious from the gods."

"Don't trade unless you have to. Even if you really want to trade, trade with the spirits. Never trade directly with the gods."

"Although the harvest of this kind of transaction is more powerful than the spirit, it will also take away some conceptual and important things from you. You may not care about it at the time, but after many years you will definitely regret it and pursue it hard."

John remembers clearly.

At that time, my teacher Frazer's gray eyes were full of deep sadness. Maybe his teacher made a deal with the gods when he was young and frivolous, and paid something very important, so that he still regrets it until today.

Although he looked into Fizelei's eyes at that time, he answered seriously: "I promise you, teacher"

But it is a pity that this time is different, and John can only say sorry to the teacher in his heart.

If there are some usual warnings, out of trust in the teacher and prudence in dealing with knowledge, John is naturally willing to abide by them.

But now that John saw the hope of awakening his bloodline, the urgency in his heart kept him awake at night.

He has never forgotten the reason why he chose to cross the world and come to other worlds, that is to awaken the bloodline and get rid of the identity of the squib.

Even if he doesn't learn the magic of the main world now, he can still use the skills he has mastered and recorded by the system to cast magic.

Even if he doesn't need to be so anxious, as long as he studies with peace of mind until graduation, he will trade with the gods when he leaves Hal's world.

But he who has inherited everything from his original body, can he really feel at ease?

The mother who gave Yuan Bo infinite love in memory, the mother who tried to protect Yuan Bo with death.

Since John being a Squib is the family's greatest insult, what about the mother who gave birth to John?He was abused all the time before John left, what would life be like after his mother did what made him leave?
Thinking of every bit of memory with his mother, there will always be a warm current in his heart, and thinking of the pain his mother will suffer now, John feels like a knife is twisting his heart.

He was anxious to let his mother get rid of those thoughts in his heart, which made him feel uneasy, but to solve all this, he must awaken his bloodline, let the magical power belonging to the main world draw the pen of acceptance to record his name on the access book.

After all, even if he can perform spells now, this system is very different from the main world, and it is likely to be considered the reason for the alchemy props.

But the Hogwarts admission letter is different, it is the greatest authority and proof in the wizarding world.

And it is probably because the world is different and the rules are different. Otherwise, when he used the spell that night, his name should have appeared on the access book, attracting the owl who delivered the letter.

Open the system panel, John began to confirm the current status

Name: John Williams

Occupation: Magister, Magician
Constitution: 2.5
Power: 1.9
Agility: 2.0
Mana Scale: 20.0
Bloodline: (inactive)
Recorded Skills: Zosimus Alchemy, Hermes Alchemy, Imperial War Spells, Magic Device Making, Conduction and Sympathetic Magic Encyclopedia
Unrecorded Skill: Wand Spell
Items that have been recorded: Ellen Mum Type [-], Imperial Flying Magic Device Type V, Black Star, Raven Staff

Among the recorded skills, the newly added Encyclopedia of Conduction and Sympathetic Magic is the comprehensive name he named Hal's world magic system.

The newly added Raven Staff in the recorded items was made by Master Fizelei himself and presented to him as an apprentice gift.

The whole looks like a cane, the whole body of the cane is black, and a large number of runes are carved on it.

A lifelike raven is engraved on the top of the staff, and emeralds are inlaid where the eyes are.

Input magic power into the staff, and the runes on it will light up with white light, and at the same time, the raven sitting on the top will spread its wings, and the emerald eyes will light up.

This staff can strengthen John's conductive connection with the world, and at the same time enhance the power of the magic he releases. It is an excellent staff.

Close the panel, confirm all the processes on the notebook again, and John contacted the system intelligence for the last inquiry.

"Are you sure you can come back?"

[Fix the anchor point of the current world, and change the current world into a fixed boundary plane, which will cause the cooling time of the boundary function to be extended to 365 natural days]

"Are you sure that as long as you return to the main world, you can eliminate the price of trading with the gods and keep the awakened blood?"

【Yes, master please rest assured】
