Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 55 Different Magic Training
If there was anyone Moon trusted the most, it was Neil.

As Moon's nominal uncle, Neil has actually done everything a father should do in the past eleven years.

Even Moon's trust in Zalan was based on Neil's judgment.

Recently, the price level in Xilin Town has started to rise.

Originally one silver coin could buy ten kilograms of rye, but now it can only buy five kilograms, and there is a purchase limit.

Even though the alley had just purchased a batch of food yesterday, no one could tell how long the war would last.

So before daybreak, all the adults in the alley went out to line up to buy food.

After the adults in the family left, Zalan became the guardian of all the children in the alley.

It was precisely because of this that Moon dared to reveal some secrets to the other party.

"You mean this little lighted dot is magic?"

Zalan asked with a look of doubt as he saw a white light flash from the tip of Moon's wand.

"Yes, this is the [Luminescent Spell]."

"Silver Light Charm? What's the difference between this and my torch?"

Zalan didn't care at all. In his opinion, magic should be something that cannot be done by human power.

However, Moon's spell could only illuminate an area three meters around him, which made him somewhat disappointed.

Seeing the expression on Zalan's face, Moon also felt a little bit like showing off.

"Then you can try this, [Leg Locking Curse]"

When the willow wand pointed at Zalan, the man who had just been mocking Moon lost his balance and fell to the ground.

When Moon was about to go over to help him up, Zalan let out a cry of surprise.

"Oh, awesome! That's magic!"

Zalan did not show any sign of pain as a cursed person should. After feeling his legs unable to move, he was actually faintly excited.

The shouting from the kitchen reached the yard. After Neil comforted Aunt Daisy and cousin Sophia, he walked into the kitchen alone.

Seeing Zalan lying on the ground, Neil hurried over and helped him to a chair.

"Moon, I told you that you shouldn't show this."

"Come on, Neil, this thing should be exercised instead of hidden, ugh!"

Zalan said something and spat out the firewood he had just eaten after falling.

"He's only eleven, Zaran."

Neil frowned and looked at Zalan. In his opinion, Moon should be the one being protected now.

"What's wrong with being eleven? Doesn't Night Owl kill eleven-year-olds?"

Zaran's words left Neil speechless.

The name [Night Owl] was one he never wanted to mention, even though the name was so close to Xilin now.

"Ye Ye Xiao, this is an adult matter!"

"Okay, Warrant Officer Neil, I know what you're going to say. You have to go a long way to buy food tomorrow, so go to bed early."

"This is my home, not the army! Colonel."

"Warrant Officer Neil, are you going to disobey orders?!"

Zalan's tone was not harsh, but Neil was defeated in the end. He glared at him fiercely and turned away.

Looking at Neil's back, Moon wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Okay, kid, your uncle will figure it out. First, untie my legs."

"I don't understand."

"No! Then how long will I be trapped?"

"I think it won't take more than ten minutes."

"Ten minutes, that's good."

Ten minutes later, the [Leg Lock Curse] still hadn't been removed.

Twenty minutes later, there was still nothing, and by then Zalan had become irritable.

Moon was also a little panicked. He estimated the duration of the spell based on the spell he cast at Hogwarts.

The target of his spell was a stick figure, and the spell only lasted ten minutes at most.

And now the person being cursed is a living person. There's no reason why it shouldn't take more than ten minutes?

While Moon was helping Zalan to stretch his legs, he looked at the wand beside him.

He guessed that the reason was probably this wand.

After a full hour, Moon's hands became sore from massaging, and Zalan's legs gradually regained feeling.

"This magic is really cool!"

The next day, half of the adults in the alley stayed.

It’s not that they don’t need to buy anything anymore, but everyone pooled their money and handed it over to the eight people headed by Neil.

They were going to Donggang City, further south, to buy some cheap food while the situation there was not tense.

Zalan was supposed to go to Donggang City together, but he rejected Neil's request and instead found himself a leisurely job.

[Caster Guidance]

This was the job title Zalan gave himself after a big fight with Neil.

As for the person being guided, it was naturally Moon.

"How did you convince Neil?"

Walking on the way to the Hazelnut Forest Cabin, Moon looked at Zalan curiously.

"Convince? No, your uncle actually knows everything, but he just doesn't want you to take risks."

Moon can understand Neil, but he actually wants to prove himself.

"War is bound to come, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's why you need to master these even more."

The farm does not need any protection in winter, so it becomes the most suitable place for Moon to practice magic in secret.

However, Moon had completely unexpected the way of practicing this time.

"No! No! You're too slow."

After arriving at the cabin, Zalan and Moon started practicing without a moment's rest.

But Moon was reprimanded at the first step.

"From the moment you reach for that stick, until you take it out and recite the spell, that's enough time for me to fire three bursts of arrows. By then, your body will be riddled with nine holes!"

Zalan was very dissatisfied with Moon's spell-casting speed, and even started shooting arrows directly in front of the wooden house to prove that his statement was correct.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Consecutive arrows, three arrows each.

It took Zalan less than a breath from taking arrows from the quiver on his back to all nine arrows hitting the target.

"See? Either you don't let the other party know your intentions, or you have to be faster than the other party, so that you can survive."

After entering the training, Zalan seemed like a completely different person. In his eyes, all moves should be fast and fierce enough.

"But others certainly won't know what I'm doing with the stick, so they won't be on guard."

Moon agreed very much with Zalan's statement. As long as the opponent didn't know his intentions, he would definitely win in the end.

Just like falling into the cave [Night Owl], he just thought that Moon was holding a small wooden stick to herd sheep.

"Of course not now, but you can't be complacent. Others will find out sooner or later!"

Zalan was right, Moon did have a lucky hope.

But war often leaves no room for luck.

So for the next few days, Moon could only practice drawing the staff, swinging the staff, and casting spells over and over again.
Zalan didn't allow him to rest until he was exhausted and could no longer cast a spell.

"Do you think weight training will help you improve your magical prowess?"

Zalan, who has only a vague knowledge of magic, really wants to help Moon extend his practice time, but he doesn't know how to do it, so he can only discuss it with Moon.

"I don't think it will be of much use. Besides, this trip is more tiring than collecting hazelnuts in the entire forest."

To be honest, Moon had never been so tired.

And this kind of tiredness is not just physical tiredness, it is actually more mentally exhausting.

"Okay, then you can rest first. As for the herbal book you're looking for, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
