Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“I’ve gathered everyone here today to explain two arrangements. ” Dumbledore put his hands behind his back, coldly surveying the crowd.

By this time, all the young wizards had fully woken up, and the scene was utterly silent, with many even afraid to breathe too loudly.

“Firstly, today’s gathering will serve as a live, public lesson. I will begin by briefly explaining the basic principles of the ‘Wilson Training Method’ from ‘Tactical Training Studies’. Everyone, listen carefully!” Dumbledore announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, the assembled young wizards immediately perked up, with many staring intently at Dumbledore, especially those like Hermione who loved to learn, some even regretting not bringing notebooks to take notes.

“To explain the training method, everyone must first understand the three fundamental elements that influence magic, or rather, a wizard’s magical ability.” Dumbledore succinctly explained to the crowd, “They are magical reserves, magical sensitivity, and spirit!”

“Among them, magical reserves are the simplest, determining how many spells each wizard can cast. Although many factors influence magical reserves, the most important factor is a wizard’s physique. Simply put, the fitter and more physically robust you are, the higher your magical reserves!”

Many young wizards on the scene were slightly stunned upon hearing this explanation. It was the first time they had heard such a claim, and many even looked doubtful.

“I know you may have some confusion. Since this is class time, you are allowed to raise your hand and ask questions!” Dumbledore said suddenly, relaxing.

With Dumbledore’s permission, several people immediately raised their hands high, mostly Ravenclaw students.

“You!” Dumbledore pointed to a Ravenclaw witch.

“Professor, does this theory apply to all magical creatures?” the student asked.

“Most magical creatures follow this rule, but it also depends on the creature’s physiological conditions.” Dumbledore replied casually.

“Then why do creatures like giants, who possess powerful physiques, exhibit such mediocre spellcasting abilities?” the witch immediately asked another question.

“That’s related to the concept I’m about to explain.” Dumbledore smiled slightly, “That is the ‘magical sensitivity’ that is relatively unfamiliar to everyone. Although the concept of this element was proposed very early on, the explanations in the wizarding world are very vague.”

“Let me explain. So-called magical sensitivity is the degree to which a wizard understands internal and external magic. Simply put, it’s whether you have an affinity for magic as an energy and whether you can accurately ‘sense’ and ‘master’ it.”

“The strength of this element directly determines your ability to sense and control magic. So, even if creatures with sluggish minds have abundant magic within them, if they don’t know how to use it, they can only rely on their instincts, like the Streeler, the troll, and the giant that student just asked about.”

“And the ‘Wilson Training Method’ I invented is a series of techniques, combining internal and external methods, to activate the magic within a wizard’s body, thereby improving magical sensitivity.”

“Woah…”

The young wizards on the scene exclaimed one after another. In fact, many didn’t understand at all, but Dumbledore’s explanation gave them a feeling of great power.

“As for the third major element, ‘spirit’, it can be simply described as emotions and willpower. They can directly affect the intensity of a wizard’s spellcasting. So, you’ll find that if you’re in an emotionally unstable state, the power of your spells will noticeably increase.”

Most wizards understood this point; the more excited, the more powerful.

But at this time, several young wizards still had their hands raised high, trying to attract Dumbledore’s attention.

“You!” Dumbledore pointed to a girl in front of him, the Gryffindor first-year Hermione, who stood very close because she was a girl.

“Professor, do different emotions have different effects on magic?” This public lesson was arguably Hermione’s first magic lesson, but she integrated into it very smoothly.

“Indeed, there are differences.” Dumbledore nodded approvingly, “Positive emotions can directly influence the power of positive magic. For example, emotions like joy and love will amplify the strength of many protective spells and guardian charms.”

As he said this, Dumbledore glanced at Harry intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued, “Extreme emotions like anger can significantly increase offensive magic, while firm willpower and strong determination have an effect on most magic.”

“And negative emotions like hatred can even affect dark magic. Of course, many dark magic spells themselves also transmit negative energy to the caster. Therefore, general magic schools do not teach dark magic to young wizards with unsound minds, and the most extreme Unforgivable Curses are completely forbidden in the wizarding world.”

“Frequent use of these spells will make your brains abnormal.” At this point, Dumbledore even smiled contemptuously, “For example, the vanished Dark Lord Voldemort. I dare say his mind has probably been almost completely destroyed by dark magic.”

Hiss…

Hearing Dumbledore casually mention the name of that Dark Lord, the young wizards on the scene fell silent, especially some of the Slytherin students, whose feelings towards the Dark Lord were very complicated. Some even admired this adult who tried to defend the rights of pure-blood wizards.

But after hearing Dumbledore say this, the other party seemed like a lunatic. Moreover, judging from the professor’s meaning, he not only didn’t fear the Dark Lord, but could even be said to despise him.

How dare this guy insult the Dark Lord so much? Draco, who had been taught the pure-blood supremacy ideology by Lucius since he was a child, was obviously very dissatisfied with Dumbledore’s remarks, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart. After all, the Wilson Professor in front of him was an authority in the industry. He didn’t understand whether his father was right or whether he should listen to Dumbledore.

However, Dumbledore didn’t pay attention to everyone’s expressions at this time. He simply summarized, “These three basic elements are not only independent of each other, but also related to each other. It can be said that they are a trinity.”

“Therefore, my ‘training method’ will not only train your ‘magical sensitivity’, but also strengthen your physique through a series of physical training, and temper your will. After all, emotions are occasional, and firm willpower is the foundation that determines your lower limit. Only a trinity improvement can comprehensively strengthen your wizarding qualities.”

“This is also the first thing I called you together this morning to announce…” Dumbledore smiled coldly, “Starting tomorrow, from Monday to Friday, everyone must gather here before 7:30 AM to conduct 30 minutes of basic morning exercises. After the morning exercises, you will return to the Great Hall together for breakfast.”

Ah??

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to wail and complain. Having to get up early every day? Wasn’t this taking their lives? Who could endure such torture?

At the same time, many young wizards looked at Dumbledore with resentment in their eyes.

So, you’ve been giving us so much blah blah, and you’re prettifying it by calling it a public lesson. To put it bluntly, you’re just finding a reason for us to do morning exercises? Then you might as well have told us straight away.

Even Harry and Hermione, who were full of curiosity and admiration for Dumbledore, had constipated expressions, and Ron despondently muttered to Harry in front of him, “It’s over, you really did jinx us.”

And just at this moment, a young wizard raised his hand high, and without waiting for Dumbledore to ask, he shouted loudly, “We can’t do morning exercises every day, can we? What if the weather is bad? If it rains, everyone will get wet and sick, just like the dark clouds in the sky now, it’s very likely to happen.”

At this time, as that young wizard said, there was indeed a layer of light clouds floating in the sky. Everyone’s spirits were lifted upon hearing this. That’s right, we can’t be forced to get up early when the weather is bad.

“You don’t need to worry about this.” Dumbledore smirked, drew his wand, and pointed it fiercely at the sky. Then, a thick lightning bolt shot straight from the tip of the wand into the sky, instantly piercing the clouds above, revealing the warm morning sun.

“With me here, there will be no bad weather!”

Damn!

So brutal?

The young wizards were all startled by Dumbledore’s casual actions. This level of spellcasting was simply terrifying, and after hearing the other party’s words, their hearts were filled with despair.

“Silence!” Dumbledore shouted, “The matter is happily decided. At the same time, I advise you all not to use boring excuses such as illness or injury to prevaricate training. I have hundreds of efficient treatment methods here, but the taste is not very pleasant. You can try it.”

“In addition, don’t blame me for not reminding you in advance. From tomorrow onwards, if there is any lateness or absence, you will be arranged for extra training in the afternoon. You are not allowed to eat dinner until you finish training. Do you understand?”

“Under… understood.” The young wizards all showed dejected expressions.

“Louder, do you understand?” Dumbledore shouted again, very dissatisfied.

“Understood!” Scared by Dumbledore, everyone cheered up and responded loudly.

“Very good.” Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, “Then, I will announce the second thing I’ve called you together for today. This morning, you will all undergo a comprehensive physical examination!”

“Physical examination?” The young wizards were all stunned when they heard this unfamiliar term. Only some Muggle students like Hermione reacted.

“That’s right. Later, the prefects will lead you. Specialized physical examination personnel have been arranged in several classrooms in the main tower. All you have to do is follow their arrangements and accept the examination.” Dumbledore explained roughly.
