Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 63 New Knowledge: [Mind Stealing]

"Goodbye, Professor McGonagall~" Ted said goodbye to Professor McGonagall with a smile, already looking forward to tomorrow's "detention (make-up class)".

Because we have experience!

And quite a lot!

Ted copied from the magazine, and although he was worried that Professor McGonagall wouldn't be able to accept it, he still managed to finish three-quarters of it in two hours.

This was originally Professor McGonagall's estimated workload for a week!

And he actually gained nearly 200 experience points because of this!

Is there such a good thing?

Professor, please feel free to lock me up in solitary confinement! Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower~

Professor McGonagall has now read Ted's summary and thinks it is of excellent quality and very well summarized.

Shocked, she began to consider what she should have Ted do in the next two days.

At the same time, she also began to reflect on herself: Was two weeks of confinement too long?!

I never expected to give myself a challenge!

……

In Potions class, Jerry lost a lot of points to Snape.

Because he laughed out loud during class, he was considered to be disrespecting the class and disrupting the teaching.

Judging from Snape's words, he was practically ready to send Azkaban to his death.

Snape then woke him up and asked, "Jerry, what are you laughing at? Laughing at yourself for having a brain full of slug mucus? Do you think you know everything?" He looked at Ted as he said this, as if he were talking to Ted.

Ted: Why the hell are you dissing me? What the hell does it have to do with me?!

Jerry: I just remembered something happy~

Jerry certainly wouldn't dare say that, but that's what he thought.

After class, Jerry's friends came to comfort him. Ron asked, "Why were you laughing so loudly? Were you going to provoke Snape too?"

So far, only Ted has escaped unscathed from "provoking" Snape, if you don't count the points he lost.

"Pfft~" Jerry laughed again.

He asked, "Did you know that Ted gave Snape a Christmas present?"

"What?" Harley's shout almost made the portrait on the wall fall down.

Ron's eyes widened as well: "A gift for Snape? Ted, are you that sick?"

Hermione and Neville also looked at Ted with disbelief.

Ted shrugged. "He's our professor after all, so I just gave him a small gift that I could afford."

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Muggle-made shampoo~" Ted shrugged.

"Pfft~ Hahaha!" Harley was the first to clutch her stomach and double over with laughter.

Then they remembered what was different about Snape today—his hair wasn't oily and was much smoother.

All the friends were laughing so hard they could barely stand.

Whether or not Snape used the Christmas present Ted sent anonymously, it definitely affected him!

Harley and the others even seemed to see Snape's face after receiving the gift—the same gloomy expression, the same silent gait.

Ted quickly nudged a few friends: Damn, it's not just a "seem," it really is Snape!

"Look at this bunch of stupid students, yelling and screaming in the hallway! I thought you'd drunk some kind of laughing potion! Five points off each!" Snape turned and walked away, his robes billowing like bat wings tearing through the night sky.

"Luckily he didn't hear our previous conversation~" Harley, despite losing points, remained nonchalant.

Hermione was upset: I lost points! Ugh~~~

Ted was stunned, because...

"Ding~ Mission 【A student life without deductions is incomplete (blue)】 Completed. Reward: 300 experience points, random card."

This task, which was supposed to deduct 100 points, has actually been completed thanks to Snape's extraordinary performance!

Ted thought he would get the end of the school year.

This shampoo isn't free!

Professor, thank you!

During his lunch break, Ted drew a card.

The first card is a kettle with eyes, a mouth, and a nose, floating in mid-air, vigorously splashing steaming hot water.

What made Ted's heart skip a beat was that it had a green border!

Upon closer inspection:

[The kettle that sprays hot water wildly (green)]

item card

Summon a kettle that can automatically attack and continuously spray hot water.

Lasts 10 minutes, then cools for 3 hours.

Note: This is a notorious illegal magical item that has burned dozens of Muggles and five or six wizards.

Holy crap! It really is a green card!

So blue missions can actually yield green cards!

This system was designed by the programmers at Antarctic Goose, right? You son of a bitch!

Fortunately, the second card was the one with the blue border.

This is a bear monster holding a short magic wand.

Bear-like creatures are intelligent, upright bear-like beings found in Azeroth. Back then, Ted killed countless of them with Shadow Bolt while farming Firebringer in Winterspring.

【Bear Monster Transforming Rod (Blue)】

item card

Using this will transform you into a bear monster, granting +3 Strength, +2 Constitution, and +1 Magic Resistance.

Lasts 10 minutes, then cools for 10 hours.

Note: People might not understand what you're saying and might treat you like a monster.

The third card also has a blue border. It shows a pair of gloves that emit a faint blue light, with a laboratory table in the background containing many flasks and various kinds of medicines.

Pharmacist Gloves (Blue)

Equipment Card

Equipment: +lv1 potion.

Note: Due to quality limitations, this does not work on potion level 5 and above targets.

This makes the choice simple.

Green card application is out of the question.

While the Transformation Wand is fun, it's less practical than the Apothecary's Gloves.

"I choose the [Pharmacist Gloves (Blue)]~"

……

There is a Quidditch match in January between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

While Gryffindors might not be able to handle the ruthless Slytherins, they are still far superior to the unremarkable Hufflepuffs.

So there was no doubt that they would win.

However, in the audience after the show, Harley and her friends faced off against Malfoy once again.

After several months of learning, the two sides had already mastered some jokingly evil spells.

Neville fought just as bravely this time, but he was caught by Malfoy's Leg-Locking Curse and fell flat on his face.

But before Malfoy could laugh at him, Neville had already put his legs together and jumped over, beating Goyle and Grubb, who were blocking his way, to the ground!

Ted's physical training over the past few months has really helped his friends take their development to a new level!

Malfoy was terrified by Neville's ferocity, and his wand was knocked away by Ted's Disarming Charm. Then, he was hit by Harley's Hair Growth Charm, and instantly grew a coat of platinum-gold fur, looking like a golden monkey!

In the final battle, Ted and his men once again emerged victorious due to their superior numbers.

Ron added, "I think Ted is right, Malfoy definitely has some kind of BDSM fetish! We have to satisfy him to the fullest!"

However, Snape, having found fault with them, subjected them to a series of punishments, including point deductions and solitary confinement.

The reason given was the use of dark magic!

Goodness, anyone who didn't know better would think Ted and his gang were going to be sentenced!

The criteria for black magic are quite vague, and curses are naturally included in it.

However, both the hair loss curse and the gut-pulling curse are considered evil curses.

Although cursing someone to lose their hair is extremely vicious, it's nothing compared to gutting them, right?

However, this magic is also used to treat constipation. It depends on how often it's used.

It's said that the inventor's portrait still hangs on the wall of St. Mungo's Hospital. He must have been an elite proctologist!

February quietly arrived as Ted was enjoying his daily sessions of learning from Professor McGonagall's experiences in her office.

Ted has already accumulated over 6,000 experience points and is just waiting for this wave!

I opened my eyes on February 1st, and lo and behold, it's a tunnel!

"Ding~ The talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] has been triggered, and the [Case File of Dirty Shepherd's Shameless Mind Stealing Investigation (Green)] has been discovered."

【Case Study of the Shameless Mind Theft by the Dirty Priest (Green)】 This case records a mage who suffered severe mental harassment from a priest, and his full accusation of the mental theft he endured. It requires 200 experience points to exchange for.

Mind stealing? You can always find Ted in Azeroth and Hearthstone taverns.

This would probably be of little use to an ordinary wizard.

But it worked for Ted!

Besides being a wizard, he's also a mind sorcerer!

This spirit! This way of thinking! Everything he learned was useful to him.

I was just wondering how to explore the path of a mind warlock, and here it is!

Just when I was worried about having no one to teach me, a sticky rice cake fell from the sky!

"Only 200 experience points! I'll switch!"

Ted lost 200 experience points from his experience pool, and his mind gained a lot more information about mind stealing by Azerothian priests.

Moreover, because this knowledge is presented from the perspective of the victims, it also contains a lot of personal experience.

"This thing is awesome! It's the Azeroth version of ranged Legilimency!" Ted muttered.

Soul-capturing and mind-seizing require eye contact; too far apart and it definitely won't work.

But mind stealing doesn't require that!

Furthermore, mind theft can even erase the part of a victim's memory that was stolen.

It's a combination of mind control and forgetfulness spells, so it's not permanent.

Although the knowledge of otherworldly realms gained this month seems much weaker, at least it's still useful.

Moreover, I still have quite a few Azerothian and D&D spells waiting to be researched, so I'm not in dire need of resources.

Ted looked at the more than 6,000 experience points he still had in his experience pool.

Should we upgrade?

I remember there's a talent at level 4!

If it were something like [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)], wouldn't I be able to take off from the spot!

Promoted!

"System, upgrade your Wizard class!"

"Ding~"

Thank you to reader "Smash Your Big Butt" for the 250 reward!
