Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

After receiving a positive response from McGonagall, Harry and Ron became more interested in learning the knowledge game.

They gradually realized that the knowledge assessment game was the best opportunity to widen the gap between themselves and ordinary wizards.

Especially now that this technology has not been fully opened to the public, they are the first group of people to try it out.

Not only can they study the game with a research mindset, but they can also ask the professor anytime when they encounter problems, and the professor will help them solve them.

Raising questions is also part of the assessment.

Because the purpose of the knowledge-based level-breaking game itself is to allow the little wizard to preview the knowledge that he has not learned in advance, and it is best to allow the little wizard to learn by himself.

Therefore, all the problems encountered by Harry and other evaluators had to be solved by the professor himself, and then the knowledge level-breaking game would be optimized.

But again, pure self-study is different from real-person teaching.

The problems encountered by Harry and other assessors are equivalent to asking the professor to help them solve them one-on-one.

With the help of the knowledge-based games and professors, the learning efficiency of assessors such as Harry has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have also gained different experiences in learning.

It may not be obvious now, but when school starts, they will find that their understanding and processing ability of learning have improved by several levels.

Unknowingly, they have become the academic masters in the eyes of ordinary wizards.

Originally, after Mikel obtained the badge of excellent student, he wanted to enter the forbidden book area to experience the magic of forbidden books.

But because the knowledge challenge game took too long to complete, he could only suppress his thoughts and devote himself to the assessment.

And in the process of learning, the system in your body is also working.

[You reviewed Transfiguration, sorted out the previous knowledge difficulties, and deepened your understanding of Transfiguration. Experience points +20]

[You reviewed Defense Against the Dark Arts, sorted out the previous knowledge difficulties, and deepened your understanding of dark magic. Experience points +50]

[You have learned new spell knowledge and deepened your understanding of the spell system. Experience points +10]

[You have learned a new Defense Against the Dark Arts technique. Your understanding of the dark arts has been deepened. Experience points +100]

……

Mikel was fully focused during the evaluation. In order to better immerse himself in the evaluation, he did not even open the system panel.

Only when the evaluation is finished at night and I lie in bed will I open the system panel and take a look.

As the assessment became more and more difficult and consumed more and more energy, Mikel had returned to the dormitory for three consecutive days, fell asleep immediately on the bed, and did not even open the panel.

One day, he suddenly became interested and opened the system panel to check.

I was surprised to find that my experience points had returned to the level of the third grade, and even increased a little, and I was on the verge of upgrading.

Mikel was shocked.

Mountain darkly, vista.

I originally thought that the experience points would take a long time to recover, but I didn't expect that just by participating in the evaluation of the knowledge challenge game, I would passively gain so much experience points.

Mikel looked carefully and found that these experience points were all gained through learning.

Unlike the experience points he gained from completing tasks in the past, the experience points gained through learning are added randomly and there is no fixed value, but the advantage is that it is a long-term process and a little bit will be added from time to time.

It’s not like doing a mission. If you don’t complete the mission and get stuck at a level for more than ten days, your experience points will not increase at all.

Among these additions...

Mikel looked a little strange.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, he added a lot of experience points in particular.

But what I learned was Defense Against the Dark Arts, but what I gained was an understanding of the dark arts. What the hell is this?

He knew his physical talents and aptitudes, and that he had a better talent in black magic, but he didn't expect it to be this good.

Mikel couldn't help but wonder if his talent had not been systematically transformed, and whether he would have a high talent for black magic.

The improved attack magic that the system gave him at the beginning had the potential to become black magic.

Did the system give him this kind of spell based on the characteristics of his body?
Mick's face darkened slightly. He had to find some time to fully examine his physical talents.

He felt uneasy that the system understood him better than he understood himself, and that he did not understand the system.

At the same time, he also had to consider an imminent problem: should he upgrade now, or save the experience points for use in the forbidden books area later?
He has had two experiences of upgrading, and his physical feeling is that once a character is upgraded, his physical talents will undergo a transformation, and his magical aptitude will also improve.

But at the same time, it will become increasingly difficult to gain experience points. Ordinary tasks can no longer provide experience points, and you have to take on more dangerous tasks instead.

There are still many functions of the system that have not been unlocked, but if you want to use the system, you have to deduct experience points. Mikel was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing which step to take.

"Do you feel that Mikel's condition is a little bit wrong recently? He always stares at the scenery outside the window or something in a trance?"

After finally finishing the evaluation of the ancient magic game for the first semester of the fourth grade, Ron was finally able to relax for half a day.

Harry had just finished the Transfiguration assessment for the first semester of his fourth year, and was half an hour faster than Ron, so he went to rest early.

After Ron came out, he took Harry to the lounge to play wizard chess. While staring at the chessboard, he talked about Mikel's recent changes.

Harry didn't pay much attention to Mick, but he felt that his mental state was a little strange recently and he was always distracted.

"Yes, a little bit. Did he make a mistake during the assessment and was scolded by the professor?"

Ron shook his head. "At first I thought it was the problem, so I asked the students in the same assessment group as him, but they all said no.

Not only that, the professor has been praising Mikel for his serious attitude during the assessment, not slacking off, and providing a lot of useful information. He said that after the assessment is completed, he will apply for a special commendation from the school for Mikel.

Harry asked hesitantly, "Why don't we ask him when we return to the dormitory tonight? If he really has any problems, we can tell him and solve them together."

As he said this, he looked at Ron deliberately, observing his expression.

In Harry's impression, Ron hated Mikel and thought he was hypocritical.

It was because of their good relationship in recent times that they overlooked their initial impression of Mikel, and Harry would not think of offering to help.

Ron hesitated and said reluctantly, "Recently, Mikel and I have a good relationship. Moreover, with his joining, the efficiency of the evaluation has increased a lot. It is no longer overloaded like before. I will ask him when I go back tonight."

Time passed quickly and soon it was evening.

Mikel, Ron and Harry returned to the dormitory from the assessment site.

Today was still very busy. After washing up, everyone did not communicate with each other and lay down on the bed to rest.

It was at this time that Ron suddenly asked Mikel: "You have been very worried recently. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Mikel was slightly stunned and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what he thought of, and he turned and stammered:
"Is it so obvious that even you can see it. I thought I hid it well."

The system is his trump card, so Mikel will naturally not expose the existence of the system.

But he thought that Ron and Harry were the protagonists, and maybe he could find a good solution with the guidance of the protagonists.

Harry: "You didn't show it during the assessment, but you always look worried when you're free, and it's hard not to notice."

Mikel thought for a moment and said in a mysterious tone: "I had a dream a few days ago. The plot in the dream was too real and it made me think.

I got a very magical item, which can only become stronger through continuous upgrades.

However, once you upgrade, you will have to complete increasingly difficult tasks in order to gain access to the upgrade channel.

In the dream, I finally found a channel to upgrade, but I also encountered some difficulties. I needed to use the ability to upgrade that item to solve other difficulties.

I have been a little hesitant. Should I continue to upgrade or should I focus on solving the difficulties first? Maybe after I upgrade, the difficulties I think are no longer difficulties. "

Ron said without thinking: "But after you upgrade the wonders, you will also encounter many difficulties. Don't you have to solve more and more difficulties before you can continue to upgrade? The difficulties will not stop until you upgrade."

Mikel asked anxiously, "So I have to upgrade first?"

Ron said as a matter of course: "No, you must solve the difficulties first. Whether you upgrade to this level or not, you will encounter difficulties.

After you upgrade, you will encounter more difficult problems, so why not solve the problems first and then upgrade when there are no more problems? "

Mikel choked up, this reason couldn't convince him, but it was very Ron.

Harry, however, had other ideas.

"Is this rare item so important to you that you would upgrade it instead of resolving the problem first?

Although the power of the magic item will be stronger after it is upgraded, the danger it faces will also become greater and greater. Can't we put the magic item aside and upgrade it when we become stronger?"

Harry said, "Wait until you become stronger before developing the magic item. Maybe you will find that the difficulties brought by the upgrade of the magic item are not difficulties at all."

Mikel seemed to be enlightened from his confusion, and suddenly his whole body was shocked.

Yes, why doesn’t he become stronger first and then use the system to break through?
It was the inherent impression of a time traveler that harmed him, making him always believe that the golden finger was the system, and that he had to rely on the system if he wanted to gain a foothold in the wizarding world.

But the facts have proved that even without relying on the system, one can acquire a lot of knowledge in the wizarding world through one's own diligence.

And for now, all tasks triggered by the system are random.

The system upgrade only adds to his personal attributes, but even without upgrading, his personal attributes will also slowly improve through continuous completion of tasks.

If he really encounters danger or opportunity, the system will remind him.

From this point of view, instead of using up the experience points you have worked so hard to accumulate on upgrades, it is better to keep them all and remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Mikel said gratefully: "Thank you, I think clearly, my previous thinking has gone into a vicious circle.

I think the magical item in the dream can still be used even without upgrading. There is no need to upgrade it so quickly and add burden to yourself. "

Ron muttered: "Smart people like you think too much, always thinking about the future, unlike us, we only think about the present."

Mikel glanced in Ron's direction with some envy.

It would be great if you could have a simpler mind, so that you could become the protagonist and be favored by fate just by being reckless and having luck.

Unlike ordinary wizards like them, even if they have a golden finger, they have to develop cautiously and not let their limelight overshadow the protagonists.

Otherwise, once Dumbledore targeted him, there was no telling where he would be imprisoned and sliced ​​for research.
-
After Mikel resolved his worries, he became more efficient.

He was already fully focused and attentive during the assessment period, and after these days of assessment, his body has already adapted to the pace of the assessment.

Now that he had let go of his psychological burden, he seemed to have rekindled his potential, and his evaluation efficiency was even higher than the already stabilized efficiency.

Not only did he complete the task faster than others and work overtime longer than others, but he also made suggestions quickly and accurately, which led to a new round of internal competition.

Previously, under the encouragement of Mikel and the praise of the professor, all the evaluators had already completed a round of high-intensity overtime work and their bodies had become accustomed to it.

Now Mikel's efficiency has increased and he has rolled it up again.

"Everyone, come and see the test that Mikel did. He completed a semester's worth of History of Magic learning in just three hours.

This is because a solid foundation has been laid in previous studies, so after learning coherent content, you can learn so quickly! "

The professors continued to praise Mikel.

As for the students, they just felt that Mikel had turned into the big devil again.

"Won't he feel tired? How can he maintain such high energy all the time?"

Some wizards really couldn't stand Mikel's introversion, but because they were not familiar with him, they didn't dare to ask him face to face, so they asked Ron and Harry.

Ron and Harry looked at each other. In fact, they were a little puzzled by Mikel's sudden enthusiasm for studying.

Everyone sleeps in the same place, eats the same food, and takes the assessment very seriously, so how come Mikel stands out from the crowd?

Ron suddenly had an idea and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's because his sleep quality is better than ours?"

The other students looked over.

Faced with those pairs of pressing eyes, Ron also felt a little nervous.

He muttered: "Mikel has a very good sleep quality and has magical dreams. Maybe he is also studying in his dreams."

other people:……

They couldn't have imagined that it would get to this extent.

But because of what Ron said, other wizards were skeptical, and that night, all the sleeping potions in the school store were sold out.

Even Ron and Harry couldn't help but buy a bottle to try whether they could study in their sleep.

On the other hand, there were new changes in Hermione's learning progress.

Under Isaac's instruction, she was finally able to perform the Fidelius Charm perfectly.

But this is a high-level confidentiality spell, which can drain all the magic power in her body after one use. Isaac advised Hermione not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
