Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 170: Plan to Destroy the Enemy
Moon originally didn't believe in the prophecy that much.

Now he has met a drunkard fortune-telling professor at school, which has reduced Moon's belief in fortune-telling predictions a lot.

Even Moon was wondering whether it was necessary to take this course again in his third year.

In Moon's opinion, the only useful information Professor Trelawney presented might be the war.

But this information did not need to be predicted, Moon already knew it.

The war has already begun.

"Shouldn't this prophecy tell us when the war will end? Or how to win the war?"

Moon couldn't figure out Professor Trelawney's divination logic.

He just felt that the more than an hour at noon today was wasted again.

In fact, compared to listening to the words of a drunkard fortune-telling professor, Moon might as well carefully organize how to deal with the threat from the unbeliever magician Montoya.

On the night that Faithless Montoya left Myrzu Castle, Moon, feeling uneasy, interrogated the two captured magicians again.

From their confessions, Moon learned about the abilities of this mid-level magician from the Heartless.

According to the captured magicians, most of the wizards in the Faithless organization master offensive and defensive spells related to transformation magic.

Their immediate superior, Montoya, is skilled in attack spells related to human body transformation magic.

Moon said as he took out a piece of parchment he had brought from the Scarlet Moon.

It records in detail Montoya's mastery of magic.

"Attack spell, [Bone Crushing Curse]"

According to the captured magician, this was a spell Montoya often cast.

The destructive power of this spell is extremely strong. It can allow the magical power to directly penetrate the target opponent's body and reach the bones.

After being hit by this spell, not only will the bones be cracked and shattered, but it is also likely to cause chain damage to muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs.

"This spell is truly magical. It actually attacks the bones first, rather than the external flesh and blood."

The magical energy generated by the magic that Moon is currently learning is all external and intuitive.

That is to say, if magical energy touches a wizard, there will definitely be a process from the outside to the inside.

The [Bone-Crushing Curse] was just the opposite, which inevitably made Moon curious.

This spell is a medium-level offensive spell among the Faithless organization.

It is easier to cast than [Mirror Tide], and Montoya also wears a spell-assisting ring on his hand.

Taking these two points into consideration, Moon guessed that Montoya's speed in casting the [Bone-Crushing Curse] should be the same as the speed at which ordinary young wizards in Hogwarts cast minor evil spells.

This speed is actually quite good, but it is still not enough for Moon.

After all, if we compare a small evil curse alone, Moon can fight 8 to 10 young wizards of the same level at the same time.

However, Moon would not be careless when dealing with real enemies.

After all, the effect of the [Bone-Crushing Curse] is far more powerful than the lesser evil curse.

"The second spell Montoya mastered was the Stoneskin Curse."

After Moon studied this spell carefully, he found that it was just another variant of the [Petrification Spell].

It can transform the target opponent's skin or muscle tissue into a hard stone state.

While making the target's body heavy and slow, it also causes internal damage to the opponent's body.

Compared to the [Petrification Curse], the attack range of the [Stoneskin Curse] is only aimed at a certain part of the body, not the entire body.

This also means that the attack speed of this spell is relatively fast.

In addition to these two offensive spells, Montoya also masters the defensive magic [Mirror Tide].

Moon now has the entire process of performing this magic in his hands.

He also knew that Montoya had mastered the second-level variant of this magic, and his defensive ability was stronger than the two captured magicians.

However, Moon's speed in casting this magic was a big flaw, and he had plenty of time to deal with it.

In addition, Montoya also possesses a magic that can transform his body into a ferocious beast.

This reminded Moon of the werewolves recorded in his school textbooks.

"But werewolves seem to transform only on full moon nights, and that doesn't seem to be the case with Montoya right now."

According to the two captured wizards.

The beast that Montoya transforms into does not just look like a wolf, but is more like a combination of many beasts.

If he wanted to accomplish this transformation, he only needed to take a special potion and cast a spell.

After reviewing all the information, Moon knew that this type of transformation was what he should pay most attention to.

The transformed Montoya will become very difficult to deal with.

Powerful strength, agile speed, and keen senses.

These are huge threats to any wizard.

"It's more like a souped-up werewolf."

After checking the opponent's information again, Moon began to prepare his own response plan.

It is actually not very difficult for Moon to defend against or even destroy the opponent's magic attack.

The speed at which the opponent casts spells is a fatal flaw.

Even if the opponent can use it, Moon has a way to deal with it.

The [Stoneskin Curse] is just a variant of the [Petrification Curse], and the [Bone-Crushing Curse] is equivalent to another [Thunderbolt Explosion] that specifically attacks human bones.

Moon's [Iron Armor Spell] can effectively provide protection.

The most suitable spell to deal with Montoya's body deformation magic is actually [Obstacles].

After this spell is cast, it will last for a period of time.

This just happens to limit the opponent's speed and powerful strength.

It can also buy Moon enough time to cast other offensive spells.

However, Moon's current [Numerous Obstacles] is obviously not safe enough.

So after the herbal medicine class in the afternoon, Moon brought snacks for the giant squid to the Black Lake for intensive training.

This huge creature is now becoming more and more familiar to Moon.

Even if Bengbeng is not around, Moon can respond accurately and find the giant squid by splashing the water and shouting.

After giving the other party the fresh fire snail meat, the giant squid readily agreed to the new training method.

Moon has not mastered [Obstacles] for very long. He can only cast one such spell now and cannot cast it continuously.

So what he needs to do now is to improve his spell casting speed through continuous practice.

The most intuitive and effective practice, of course, is to face the attack of the giant squid head-on.

"Come on, I'm ready!"

After Moon had set up three layers of [obstacles] in front of him, he shouted to the big guy in the lake.

After receiving the order, the giant squid raised a huge arm and stabbed directly towards Moon.

bass!bass!bass!
The three layers of magic spells did not have any blocking effect. In just a moment, the giant squid's tentacles touched Moon's body.

At this time, Moon's new spell was only half prepared.

"I can feel my spellcasting speed picking up. Please do it again."

Directly facing powerful attacks that far exceed one's own strength to force the casting of spells faster, this is Moon's new training method.

Only when pressure and goals exist at the same time can the effect of magic training be maximized.

It may be that Moon chose a training method that is closer to a combat form.

It may also be that the giant squid touched Moon's body countless times today.

This huge animal is also very excited today.

The color of its body has gradually deepened from its original grayish white. Moon knows that the color of the giant squid's body will change only when its mood changes.

Under the pressure of the giant squid's excited state, Moon finally achieved the expected results at the end of the training.

Before the triple [obstacles] disappeared in a hurry, Moon was able to add another layer in time.

"I'll make time to come see you in the next few days."

After saying hello to the giant squid, Moon left contentedly.

The faster speed in casting spells means that his means of dealing with the enemy have been further enhanced.

After returning from the Black Lake and having a quick dinner, Moon came to the Herbal Club classroom.

Here he will look for his second plan.

Moon never thought that using spells alone would be enough to deal with a wizard.

Especially since the opponent is likely to transform into a large animal.

After seeing Cedric had arrived at the club, Moon walked over happily.

The target of his second plan was Cedric's sleepy face fungus spore powder.

"You want to borrow five bottles of spore powder? You're welcome. You're really helping me out."

Ever since Cedric tried to fertilize the sleepyhead mushroom with dragon manure two weeks ago, the little mushroom has been growing like crazy.

Now another week has passed, and Professor Sprout has moved more than a dozen pots of water lily fungi.

But there were three more pots on Cedric's research desk.

There were also more than twenty glass jars filled with spore powder densely packed next to it.

"Five bottles aren't enough, how about five more?"

Cedric is now worried about what to do with these materials.

Knowing that Moon needed it, he naturally stuffed a few more bottles into his mouth without hesitation.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't delay your use."

"Don't worry, they'll add another dozen or so bottles in the next few days. Luckily, the sleepy face bacteria are starting to grow a little slowly, otherwise I think Professor Sprout would be worried."

Moon understood very well why Cedric and Professor Sprout were worried.

The sleeping face fungus itself is actually not scary, but once the number becomes huge, it is a completely different story.

In the Potions classroom, Snape only sniffed a little and was forced to drink a large bottle of antidote to relieve the symptoms.

This time, Moon prepared ten bottles for Montoya.

Even if it is not purified spore powder, this amount should be enough to knock down the opponent.

Use [Numerous Obstacles] to hinder the opponent's actions, and combine it with the spore powder that is not easy to detect in the air.

The success rate of this plan should be very high.

After packing the spore powder tightly, Moon took out the batfish bladder powder he had prepared.

"How's your preparation of the Little Living Hell Decoction going?"

"All the materials are ready. I'm doing the prefabrication work. I should be able to try refining it this week."

Seeing Moon handing over another paper bag, Cedric happily took it and said.

"Now I can try refining it twice."

Moon knew that the original Living Hell Decoction required wormwood infusion, tranquilizer grass, lacewings, moonflower, and valerian root.

Cedric's improved version uses water lily fungus spore powder instead of lacewings, and bat fish maw powder instead of tranquilizer grass.

There are only three other ingredients you need to prepare.

Both mugwort infusion and valerian root are relatively easy to prepare.

Because there are a lot of these two herbs grown in the school greenhouse.

Members of the Herb Club can withdraw money at will after obtaining permission from Professor Sprout.

This is also one of the benefits of joining the Herbal Club.

The only thing Cedric really needs to buy himself is the Moon Dew Flower.

Most of these plants are wild and are sold at the Diagon Alley pharmacy for 5 gold galleons each.

"Two portions of Moon Dew Flower and two portions of Fish Bladder Powder. I'll prepare them over the next few days and start refining them over the weekend. Do you want to join us?"

"of course."

Moon would not miss any potion learning now.

Even though it is impossible to refine this potion in a short period of time, it is still very nice to see Cedric's refining techniques.

But speaking of potion making, Moon remembered another thing.

"Can you lend me your second and third year Potions textbooks? I'd like to preview the relevant knowledge."

Hearing Moon's request, Cedric was only slightly stunned and immediately answered.

"If it were someone else, it definitely wouldn't work, but you have no problem."

Making potions is actually a very dangerous thing, especially potions that are beyond the ability of young wizards.

For this reason, Hogwarts professors will warn senior students to try not to teach complicated potions, spells and dangerous magical materials to young wizards.

As for lower-level students, professors have repeatedly emphasized that learning magic beyond one's ability is very dangerous.

But for Cedric, after two months of contact with Moon, he already knew that the ability of this little wizard in front of him was far beyond his peers, and he was even about to catch up with him.

"But are you sure you can handle it? I remember you have a lot to learn."

Cedric knew that in addition to joining the Herbal Club to learn about herbs, Moon also did so.

There is also a small spell classroom of its own for practicing spells.

Now I have to study the senior year Potions textbook.

This means Moon has almost no time to rest.

"Of course, I will arrange the time reasonably."

Moon wanted these Potions textbooks, of course not to study in Hogwarts, but to prepare for returning to another world.

Now that Moon has established a relationship with Bailey Merchant, it is very convenient for him to obtain herbs.

And now he needs to master a large number of potion formulas and refining techniques.

For him, the most suitable way is of course the Hogwarts Potions textbook.

In order to help young wizards understand the potions course as quickly as possible, the Hogwarts Potions teaching materials are designed very reasonably.

First-year wizards learn the basics.

In addition to identifying various potion ingredients, they also need to learn how to use a crucible, basic stirring and heating methods.

The practical content in the Potions class was limited to a few simple potions for treating scabies, burns, and cuts.

In the second grade, the textbook content will be advanced on this basis.

At this time, the young wizards will learn some slightly more complicated potions and begin to learn the recipes of precise proportions and specific steps of potions.

At the same time, you also need to learn how to identify and analyze potions.

Practical potions will also be specifically targeted at more serious bodily injuries, such as healing broken bones or excessive blood loss.

By the third grade, the Potions textbook had become intermediate level content.

At this time, students need to master the specific use of magical plants and animal materials in potions.

This grade will learn to make potions that have effects such as changing appearance and increasing strength.

For example, the shrinking potion.

　In Chapter 168, the spell Snape used has been changed to the Cutting Spell

　　Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
