Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 338 The Professor's Reasons

To ensure that Moon can achieve a good result in the competition.

My last month at Hogwarts.

Professor Flitwick once gave Moon a specialized training session.

The purpose was to test where Moon's limits were.

This training covered everything from spell casting speed and power to understanding spells.

Professor Flitwick imparted his knowledge to Moon without reservation.

It was during this time that Flitwick discovered some of Moon's little secrets.

One of them is that no matter how tough the training was the day before.

The next day, Moon would act as if nothing had happened, and be full of energy again.

Later, it was even to test Moon's recovery limits.

Professor Flitwick then began to constantly shorten Moon's rest intervals.

It was precisely because of this experience that Moon dared to use such a desperate approach to deal with the current match.

Of course, Moon didn't tell anyone the reason why he was able to quickly recover his mental and physical strength.

No.

Perhaps Professor Dumbledore knows something about it.

After all, it was this principal who discovered what was hidden in Moon's mind beforehand.

Specifically, it refers to methods that allow Moon to quickly recover his physical and mental strength in a short period of time.

It was that little willow tree hidden in his mind.

As the willow tree grew taller and taller.

Besides protecting a region in Moon's mind from the curse, it also...

It is to keep Moon's spirit and physical strength always high.

Even if too much is consumed in a short period of time, it can recover quickly.

"Professor, you still haven't told me your reasons for doing this. What exactly are they?"

Seeing that Professor Flitwick was about to leave again, Moon called out to him.

During the special training, Professor Flitwick kept telling Moon that he must find a way to win the championship.

This can be seen from the intentions of today's competition organizers.

Their expectations seem to be the complete opposite.

Seeing Moon's curiosity, Professor Flitwick cast a spell.

Only after confirming that no one was eavesdropping did he explain the reason.

"Aren't you curious why a senior judge in a spellcasting competition would do something that doesn't benefit the competition?"

Moon nodded.

The competition for the best spellcasting skills has been passed down in the UK for over 200 years.

Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore and Charms professor Flitwick were both contestants.

This competition can also be said to be the starting point for them to show their talent and become known to wizards.

But Professor Flitwick should be very clear about this now.

Winning the championship with a second-grade student does the organizers no good.

This is also where Moon's doubts lie.

Professor Flitwick stood there for a moment, thinking, before seriously examining Moon.

“Mr. Scarlett, I’ve heard you have a good relationship with Filch, but do you know his true identity?”

“Filch, isn’t he the castle caretaker?”

"No, this is just his job."

"I'm not sure, is he from any wizarding family?"

Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"No, to be precise, Filch is actually a Squib."

"Squib?"

To be honest, Moon was a little surprised.

Moon saw more magic books than other young wizards that year.

It was through these books that he learned about the existence of Squibs in wizarding society.

However, what he didn't expect was that Filch was a dud.

He had initially thought that the castle keeper was just an ordinary person.

In other words, they are called Muggles.

"So you know about Squibs, but do you know that Squibs can't learn magic at all?"

"I don't know about that, but Professor, what does this have to do with the competition?"

"Of course! As a professor at Hogwarts, how could I stand by and watch the people around me be deceived?"

Have you been scammed?

Moon became even more curious.

After his persistent questioning, Professor Flitwick finally explained the real reason.

It turns out that Filch attended a magic training course in order to learn magic.

[Quick Course for Beginners in Spellcasting]

The course was created by the Finkley family.

This family not only gladly accepted a considerable amount of money from the Squibs, but also guaranteed them mastery of magic.

"How could they do this? Isn't this deception?"

Moon was somewhat confused.

"Of course it's for profit."

Seeing Moon's indignant expression, Professor Flitwick stood to the side and nodded.

It was Mu En's small gesture that made him suddenly feel that what he was doing seemed to have a greater meaning.

“Mr. Scarlett, you must remember this.”

"True magic is the protective light that illuminates hope for others in the darkness."

"Instead of blinding people with false illusions."

After Professor Flitwick finished speaking, he patted Moon on the shoulder and left the rest area.

Moon looked at the professor's back.

Suddenly, the short-statured Professor of Curse seemed to have grown taller.

The break ended an hour later.

Even after seeing Moon emerge from the rest area, he was still pale.

Anos Finkley breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The wizards sitting in the surrounding stands also noticed this scene.

Because of Moon's outstanding performance in the previous match, all the viewers began to pay attention to this youngest contestant.

"It seems being young really isn't an advantage." "Exactly, judging from his condition, he probably won't be able to finish this match."

"I guessed so. Walking fast doesn't necessarily mean you'll go far."

The friends of Moon sitting in the audience were not very old.

They hadn't anticipated the problems Moon would encounter.

However, listening to the constant discussions around them, the Hogwarts students gradually realized that Moon's situation was very bad.

“Moun seems to be in a really bad state.”

Moon's originally fair skin looked even paler.

Ron's voice trembled slightly.

Harry, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything.

However, Moon's condition reminded him of his own experience in Quidditch.

Those athletes who are much older than me all have great stamina.

Not only can he play the entire game with ease, but he also recovers very quickly afterward.

Moon is now facing the same problem.

"No, this shouldn't be his style."

After noticing that Moon was not in a good condition, Hermione didn't even bother to pet Bouncy anymore.

Her eyes were fixed on Moon, her palms slightly sweaty.

"What do you mean?"

Harry also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

But he couldn't figure out the specific reason at all.

After hearing Hermione finish speaking, he subconsciously looked at the little witch next to him.

“Moun must have other methods, although I don’t know what they are, but there must be.”

Hermione's tone grew increasingly firm.

She even unconsciously recalled the profound impression Moon had made on her that year.

Whether it's rapid progress in studies or the thinking and methods for handling various matters.

Moon's growth this year has been remarkable.

Especially after the Philosopher's Stone incident.

Moon's change made Hermione feel as if he had suddenly become a different person.

In her view, Moon's thinking was no longer just about the immediate progress and gains and losses.

Instead, they prefer to consider long-term benefits and deeper meaning.

“If it’s really as you say, then Moon does look a bit like Dumbledore.”

Harry was unaware of Moon's thoughts.

But thinking about how Moon had felt about him recently, and the judgments Hermione had made.

All of this made him see a bit of Dumbledore's shadow in Moon.

"It seems that's really the case."

Hermione was also taken aback when she heard this.

She stared intently at Moon in the arena.

It seems that you can really see the headmaster's shadow in this little wizard.

Have you read all the letters?

Premium viewing area.

Bokin Burke and Lucius Malfoy have come out of the lounge.

The two of them were leaning against the railing, looking at the newly set-up competition equipment and the athletes entering the arena.

"I've finished reading it. Master wants me to..."

"Stop, don't continue. This is something the master instructed you to do, and I don't want to get involved."

Borgin Burke reached out and interrupted Lucius.

Then I kept an eye on what was happening on the field.

Seeing that the messenger didn't care about the contents of the letter at all, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief.

He followed the gaze of all the spectators and looked at the contestants in the arena.

Upon noticing that Moon's condition was not right, Lucius unconsciously frowned.

"If you only know how to use brute force without considering the consequences, do you still think this little lion is worth paying attention to?"

"Hmph, it's no big deal. It's just one failure. As long as you can get back up, there's still a chance."

Bokin Bock didn't actually think Moon could win.

The reason he could say such a thing was simply based on Voldemort's assessment of Moon.

But Lucius, standing nearby, understood a different meaning.

This statement seems to apply to that person as well.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'm quite curious about this little lion."

I heard many spectators around me saying that Moon's condition was not right.

Anos Finkley, sitting on the referee's bench, felt increasingly reassured.

However, Professor Flitwick, who was standing next to him, seemed not to have heard these words at all.

His eyes were fixed on Moon, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This situation made Anos Finkley feel vaguely uneasy.

"Professor, the student you have high hopes for has already done a remarkable job by persevering this far. Should we let him withdraw and go down to rest?"

"Oh, don't worry, as a wizard, you always need to challenge yourself."

Amid the discussion between the two referees, the match finally began.

The requirement for the third competition: Each contestant must perform three [Thunder Explosion] attacks to break the boulder prepared by the event organizers.

After hearing the referee's explanation, Moon's eyes lit up.

The magic spell shatters the boulder!
I'm very familiar with this project.

Think back to six months ago when Moon decided to build a magic school on Star Ember Island.

He then began to call on the tribal shamans to blast mountains and extract stones in the central mountain range of Star Ember Island.

However, at the beginning, the spells of the tribal shamans were not very powerful.

Therefore, most of the work was done by Moon himself.

In particular, Moon himself did not want to give up this opportunity to practice his spells.

So he single-handedly contracted to use almost all the stone materials for the early stages of the school's construction.

It could be said that more than half of the stones in the entire magic school were blasted out by Moon using magic spells.

Looking at the huge stones that were being continuously transported into the field.

Moon's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
