Hermione, let's start a revolution from Hogwarts!

Imagine this: you've just finished a grueling Potions class, and the next day is a weekend with no classes. You can sleep in, play to your heart's content, and wander around the castle with your friends, watching those empty suits of armor humming and fighting...

Unfortunately, none of these things have anything to do with Nietzsche or Holmes.

After gathering his thoughts by taking the movable staircase of the main tower, he knocked on the oak door of the third-floor office.

"Please...please come in."

The office looked quite ordinary; compared to the principal's office in a primary school, the only difference was the variety of decorations.

To the left of the entrance is a huge bookshelf, and to the right is a glass display case filled with pressed flowers; directly opposite the door is a desk with a crystal ball on it.

Beyond Professor Quirrell, who was writing a letter with his head down, you could see the astronomical telescope on the windowsill of his office.

Nietzsche was not one to be disturbed, so he closed the door and carefully examined the rather spacious office. He walked to the bookshelf and found a book about botany and gardening that was free of dust.

"This is... a book from outside?"

The 'outside world' he referred to, in the wizard's words, meant the Muggle world.

"I bought it while traveling... I had just graduated then and liked to travel around, so I wanted to sit closer to people..."

Quirrell pushed the letter he had finished writing aside, clapped his free hands, and turned the metal object standing on the ground into a chair. He then demonstrated a silent, staffless spellcasting technique.

The chair first flew to Nietzsche's feet, and after he was settled, it immediately flew to the side of the desk.

The strong smell of garlic made Nietzsche squint and lower his head slightly, just in time to see a letter the professor had just finished writing. Nietzsche could only glance at it briefly in five seconds...

Because of Quirrell's distinctive stutter, he had to shift his focus.

"What new information has your intuition brought this time?"

“In fact, I found a lot of information in the library.” Nietzsche glanced at the dark night sky and took out his prepared notes. “The levitation spell was still a bit troublesome when translating the Latin.”

He didn't have the kind of cell phone that looked like a miniature television from his dream.

When translating, he could only refer to the dictionary and look up each word one by one; his eyes were almost blinded.

Quirrell took the book and became deeply interested after only a few minutes of reading, because Nietzsche had broken down the incantation into several parts and analyzed them section by section in a literal translation:

Levitation Charm (Wing/ard/Ium Leviosa)

Translated as -- ((fly/lift up and rise))

“I see, no wonder you thought the Levitation Charm didn’t eliminate gravity from the target…” Quirrell was somewhat excited, but ultimately sighed in disappointment, “Lift them up…and fly them high?”

He looked at Nietzsche and thought to himself with a touch of admiration: How young he is, he's only a first-year student.

Kechiro suddenly covered the back of his head, and then sweat seeped from his forehead. He quickly got to the point, knowing that he had no choice but to seize the time and get to the point.

"Your current research direction doesn't have too many problems; the standard incantations are indeed based on the Latin system..."

Ah ah ah ah ah!

This terrible speaking speed caused Nietzsche's thoughts to wander, and he was really being driven crazy.

It is worth mentioning, however, that although Professor Quirrell has a Ravenclaw-like eccentric personality and a stuttering accent, in terms of theoretical knowledge, he is almost standing on the shoulders of giants, looking down on Nietzsche.

"So the conclusion is correct with my intuition, right? Anyway, magic is invisible and intangible; you can only feel it."

"Don't...don't rush, but do you know how to use emotions to cast spells?" When Quirrell looked up again, his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at the student. "It's already quite impressive that a Muggle wizard can...can cast a spell perfectly."

"Are Muggle wizards generally slow learners?"

"Of course... Muggles and wizards see things differently. You should... you should understand what your heart was like when you first successfully used the Levitation Charm."

He temporarily put down his notes and guided Nietzsche from a different angle regarding the question.

“A firm resolve...?” Nietzsche was somewhat uncertain.

“It’s rare to find a young wizard who succeeds in the very first lesson… That’s right, it’s all about ‘determination’! Most Muggle wizards need time to adapt to new learning methods, and the same applies to emotions.”

Professor Quirrell's logic was straightforward, so Nietzsche understood it very quickly.

A wizard's determination can mobilize magic, and the influence of positive and negative emotions gives magic a special quality.

Muggle wizards, living in the outside world, are influenced by the Muggle society's emphasis on 'rationality' and 'rules,' which is the complete opposite of the emotional nature of wizards. Therefore, when they first enter the magical world, they always suppress their emotions.

Yes, that's right...

Determination not only affects the success of a wizard's spells, but also the effect of the spells can be altered by the influence of emotions, just as a dark wizard always harbors feelings of hatred and loathing.

"The Leg-Lowering Curse not only renders the target immobile, but can even allow dark wizards to remove the leg bones."

That's right!

The Leg-Loss Curse will cause the target's legs to lose strength, but removing bones will also cause the same 'leg-losing' condition, only the effects will be different.

"So standard spells apply a status effect to the target, while different emotions can apply different effects to the target?!"

"That's about right. A levitation spell can only make something 'levitate,' while a certain shattering spell will make the target fly up first and then explode... So most black magic is the most convenient."

Among them, the Shattering Curse has a specific effect on buildings, which can be considered an upgrade of the Unlocking Curse.

In Professor Quirrell's account, it seems that black magic is the direction wizards should take in their magical research.

“But some things are beyond our control, Professor.” Nietzsche pondered for a moment, then continued, “At least for me, black magic is not the most convenient option.”

"What exactly are the personal reasons for your departure? If you could tell us, it might be more helpful for the research."

“The limitations of wands, Ollivander said, mean that wands made of unicorn hair can’t become powerful.” Nietzsche was a little hesitant, raising his hand to scratch his head. “So, I’m thinking of taking a different approach.”

This is indeed somewhat personal.

However, since it's for research purposes, and the other party is a professor, it's harmless to say it out loud.

But some things are beyond our control...

"No! Even when you're in dire straits, there will always be a choice."

Looking at the descriptions of wand science, dragon heartstrings, phoenix feathers, and yew wood are all suitable for white or black magic, and their powerful effects almost all come from the materials used in wands.

How could a material as calm and stable as unicorn hair be considered incapable of great things?

Quirrell paused for a moment, touched the wand that had transformed back from the quill pen with his right hand, gave a wry smile, then straightened his headscarf and became serious, a stark contrast to his timid demeanor in class.

This seriousness is what gave young Quirrell a professor-like demeanor.

“No wonder…no wonder Dean Flitwick sent you to see me. A studious wizard can always discover endless knowledge to learn…”

"If you want to make even the slightest change in the state of the Levitation spell, besides the determination to cast the spell, it's your emotions—in other words, your determination to maintain your own inclination towards the effect."

"Do you know how wizards get into...a locked room on a Muggle?"

Nietzsche recalled the table of contents of "Standard Spells: Elementary".

"Unlocking spell".

“That’s right!” Quirrell became increasingly excited. “But what if it’s a wizard who’s locked up?”

"A reverse unlocking spell?"

"Wrong, it's the advanced spell of Alahomora—Bombarda!"

Quirrell raised his wand and pointed it at the side door of the office. With a loud bang, the bolt on the door was blown open along with the stone wall. The rubble returned to its original path before it even hit the ground, and was restored to its original state by a silent repair spell.

Not only the unlocking spell, but also the illumination spell has corresponding strengthening spells.

These enhanced versions of standard spells are no less than those of black magic, because they cannot directly harm people, but at least they can provide Nietzsche with a direction for research.

He seemed quite pleased with his demonstration, and then stammered, "We can not only make the bolt open automatically and the mechanism run automatically, but we can also directly destroy it. An explosion is the 'effect' of unlocking."

The perfect teaching method combines theory with practice.

Nietzsche suddenly realized that Quirinus Quiró, who was not well-liked by his classmates, was not the kind of person who was all talk and no action.

As for why the Shattering Spell wasn't used...

This is because some curses and poisons cannot cause substantial damage to buildings; they are more effective at harming the fragile bodies of wizards than the hard granite.

"I see..."

The Levitation Spell lifts the target up, applying a 'levitation' state to the object with magic, and the user can advance their power during the lifting process.

For example... how do we bring it up?

It's as if he can gently lift a piece of paper with his hand, crumple it into a ball and hold it in his palm, or tear it into pieces and throw it into the air... as long as the target remains in a 'floating' state, that's enough.

Quirrell glanced at the time, his eyes darting around, and began to urge the guests to leave.

He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, more than an hour has passed. I think if it had been any later, Filch would have mistaken you for a Gryffindor night owl and arrested you for deducting points."

Nietzsche quickly stood up and looked at the other person sincerely.

"Thank you Professor!"

Sensing the student's sincerity, Quirrell's face broke into a smile. He watched Nietzsche turn away, walking further and further into the distance...

Nietzsche!

"Hmm?" Nietzsche paused, a little puzzled, his grip on the doorknob faltering. "Is there anything else?"

"Having a good mind isn't enough; you must also be ambitious. Intelligence isn't a privilege, but a talent... I'm really looking forward to your future experimental results. Goodnight~"

"Goodnight Professor."

As the footsteps outside the door grew fainter, Quirrell, who had been sitting up straight, immediately slumped back into his chair. He gripped the edge of his headscarf tightly, his other hand pressed against his chest.

He was looking down as if he were talking to himself, but there was always another echoing voice responding in the office.

"Master, as you command, he will surely discover the secrets of dark magic..."

“Not only that, assist him more in the unplanned time,” the unseen person commanded. “I can sense that his talent is no less than Severus’s, and I can see a new dark magic… You… did a very good job.”

Quirrell did not let the weakness in his voice give him any other thoughts.

He looked in the mirror and said, trembling, "Master..."

"Yes, yes, as long as the plan succeeds, the strength you gain will be far more than this. Let's see what tricks this mud-born can come up with for now."

Quirrell was still happy to hear the other person's perfunctory praise.

But he wasn't excited by the benefits the voice's owner mentioned; rather, he could clearly see a new magic system originating from standard spells, a magic system originating from wands.

To turn the Levitation Spell into a weapon—what a bizarre idea.

"Use...dark magic...to lure...only power is...immortal."
