Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 145 The Amazing Genius Jerry (Second Update)

As the new semester began, Jerry continued to excel, consistently racking up Slytherin's best grades in class.

And it's not just about getting high scores on practice questions; he also takes the opportunity to ask his own questions while answering them, and these questions often surprise the teachers.

Because Jerry has already memorized all the textbooks for the current seven grades, read many magic books, and also learned about a different system of magic from another world.

This makes him feel like a beginner in terms of the depth of magic, but he has an advantage over professors at Hogwarts in terms of breadth.

So sometimes the questions he raises are not from the textbook, but rather questions he comes up with when comparing the magic of the two worlds.

For example, in Transfiguration class, when Professor McGonagall was teaching the Transfiguration Charm about the principle of converting two substances, Jerry would think of the mimicry magic he had learned from Sun Long.

The two have many similarities, which Jerry finds very inspiring, but there are also many things he can't understand, so he asks Professor McGonagall for advice.

Among the questions he asked, some touched on the principles of mimicry magic, which Professor McGonagall, who had a deep understanding of transfiguration, found very interesting.

When Professor Flitwick teaches the principles of the Telekinesis Charm in Charms class, Jerry will think of the most basic and commonly used mind control magic in the Wizard's Handbook.

This often leads to situations where what should be a class turns into a magical exchange between Jerry and the teacher, leaving many other young wizards completely confused.

It felt like Jerry's magical abilities had suddenly reached a level they could never achieve.

After this happened many times, a seed of "worship" or "admiration" was unknowingly planted in the hearts of many young wizards.

Last semester, Jerry performed very well, but that was still within their understanding. So at most, they could only admire and acknowledge him, not to the point of "worship" or "admiration".

In fact, this state of mind also benefited Jerry greatly, because he discovered that although many forms of magic in the two worlds were expressed differently, they had many similarities in principle.

It's like a big tree that has sprouted two branches, but they come from the same source. If they can be combined, you can discover something very interesting.

Most importantly, this comparative learning greatly helped him understand and apply the spells of the two worlds, allowing him to grasp some more fundamental knowledge.

Originally, learning magic from two worlds simultaneously would have been a huge waste of time and required more effort than a normal magician. However, this comparison and fusion actually accelerated his progress in similar types of magic.

That's when one plus one equals more than two.

Or it can be described in one word: "learning by analogy"!

However, Hogwarts professors like Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were somewhat frightened.

It's not that Jerry's magical abilities far exceeded their expectations, but rather the genius-level thinking he displayed, and the many ideas he shared that might only be touched upon by old wizards who have studied magic for many years.

The key point is that Jerry didn't just raise these questions. If he had only raised them, it could be said that he saw these questions in some magic books, but they were too profound, so he came to ask for advice.

What startled them was that, in the process of asking questions and discussing the topic, Jerry displayed some very creative ideas, some of which were not yet found in current magical theories.

That's what really scared them.

Keep in mind, it's only been six months since Jerry started learning and exploring magic!

He was no longer like other young wizards who simply followed their teachers rigidly; instead, he was able to apply what he learned to new situations and come up with some very bold and constructive ideas and theories.

Furthermore, it makes a lot of sense and is of great reference and research value.

Hermione from Gryffindor is also very capable. She can absorb almost all the knowledge and theories taught by her teachers, and can even go on to study higher-level knowledge in greater depth.

However, while these things surprised the professors, they weren't too shocking, because wizards as outstanding as Hermione were rare, but there were always a few every ten or twenty years.

But Jerry was someone they had never encountered before. Sometimes, the ideas he put forward regarding magical theories even gave these professors a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Therefore, Jerry didn't give them the feeling of being an exceptionally outstanding student, but rather the feeling of someone who could rival Dumbledore in the future and become a great wizard who would usher in a new era.

And so, after attending classes, reading books, studying, and practicing meditation, Jerry did not scatter his energy on other things after the new semester began, but instead devoted all his time to learning magic.

What he needs to do now is to delve deeper into the magic he has already learned and solidify his magical foundation. Only by laying a solid foundation can a skyscraper be built, a principle that Jerry understands very well.

During this period, there were some minor setbacks. For example, in the first week of the new term, Harry excitedly ran to tell Jerry that he had been promoted by Professor McGonagall to join the Gryffindor team and become the Seeker.

Furthermore, during Gryffindor's match against Hufflepuff the following week, Harry successfully caught the Golden Snitch, securing a hard-won victory for Gryffindor.

Some Gryffindor wizards believe that Harry's appearance might offer Gryffindor a glimmer of hope, as many wizards still think that Jerry's ability to catch the Golden Snitch so quickly was just luck.

However, Jerry didn't seem to care too much about it.

According to the Quidditch rules, Slytherin has already played against Gryffindor, and their next matches are against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. If they win both, they will secure the Quidditch Cup with a best-of-three record.

Even with Harry, Gryffindor, though able to defeat Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, only managed two wins and one loss in three matches, placing them second.

The key point is that even if they were to face Gryffindor again, Jerry would be a sure winner with his strength. He wouldn't hold back just because Harry is on the other side, even though he and Harry have a good relationship.

But no matter how good the relationship is, you can't give in when you're competing; that's called "respecting your opponent"!

The main thing is that he took money to do things his way. He took Snape's Nimbus 2000 and helped Slater win the Quidditch Cup, that's for sure.

Besides, Snape was indeed good to him, and we should still have some principles, otherwise there won't be a next time.
