Chapter 34: Spell Training, First Try of Physical Practice (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

[Host found the 'Room of Requirement' and received 50 achievement points]

"So many?" Tom was a little surprised.

He would usually only get two achievement points when he went to other classrooms at night. There were more in the trophy display room, but it was only five points.

The Room of Requirement is ten times larger than it.

All of a sudden, his achievement point inventory exceeded three hundred points.

"It seems some special places can give far more achievement points than I thought. The professor's office, the secret passage, and even... Old Dumbledore's office."

Tom thought about it silently for a while before starting to practice.

"Let's start with the most basic spells."

Tom flicked his wand and shot a beam of red light at a wooden dummy.

"Shattered to pieces!"

The red light hit the dummy at an extremely fast speed, and the dummy exploded, turning into debris that fell to the ground.

Tom's expression remained unchanged and he aimed at the next dummy.

Even adult wizards rarely achieve the power of such a spell, but Tom's magical power has grown far beyond his peers. With Andros's guidance, he has a deep understanding of the Shattering Spell. Coupled with the blessing of talent, the power just now was the result of his restraint.

Compared with the power of the spell, the release speed and hit rate are all very important. No matter how powerful the spell is, it will be useless if it doesn't hit the target.

For a moment, colorful lights flew around in the room.

Stunning spell, petrification spell, repulsive spell, wind blade spell.

These basic spells all showed considerable power. Tom followed Andros' instructions and tried to use his body's instinct to remember the spells.

Soon, dozens of puppets in the room were blown into pieces.

But after a burst of magical fluctuations, these puppets began to automatically piece themselves together and repair themselves, returning to their original state in just thirty seconds.

And it also started moving on the track.

"Moving target?"

Tom raised his eyebrows. Now he had a new respect for the Room of Requirement. It not only provided targets, but also advanced training. This training method alone was more useful than the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

After a short break, training began again.

The speed of the moving dummy was not fast, equivalent to the normal running speed of an adult, and Tom's spell hit rate basically reached 90%.

It is said that magic is subjective, but that does not mean you will definitely hit someone just by thinking about hitting them. It still depends on the timing of the attack and the experience of prediction.

Fifteen minutes later, another round of annihilation occurred.

When the dummies were reassembled, this time they moved twice as fast as before, comparable to a sprint champion. The most important thing was that a sign appeared above each dummy's head, with numbers from one to thirty written on it.

"Let me crush them one by one according to their numbers?"

The difficulty suddenly increased by more than one level. Not only did the puppets move too fast, but they also overlapped. Straight-forward spells were no longer effective and required arcs and hits from various tricky angles.

Tom is a real Muggle this time.

The increased speed alone was difficult for him to deal with, and he also had to make the spell turn, which turned the difficulty from easy to hell.

There is no other choice but to cheat.

"Andros, it's up to you."

Tom activated his permissions and used the 'Physical Action' function for the first time, handing over control of his body to Andros.

"Hahaha."

A hearty laugh broke out from Tom's mouth, "Does this count as being alive again? The touch of flesh and blood is so nostalgic!"

"It's only seven minutes, stop sighing here." Tom urged. Andros's approval of him was now 63. The initial effect was five minutes, and every higher point of approval would add ten seconds, which was just over seven minutes.

Tom now feels very strange, as if his body has instincts. He thinks about his own things and his body moves on its own, but he can also feel the feedback brought by the movements.

No wonder it is called "practicing what you preach", it is indeed appropriate.

But Tom felt that a more appropriate term would be...inviting a spirit to possess one.

As for the improvement speed... it's like a King logging into a bronze account and duo-queuing to gain points. How can it not be fast?

"Observe carefully and feel carefully."

Andros also knew that time was precious, and after a moment of excitement, he immediately got into the state.

Tom's eyes sharpened and emitted a sharp light!

"Collapse!"

call out--!

The spell flew out, and Tom only had time to see a white light draw a beautiful arc like a rainbow, and the dummy No. 8 hidden behind the three dummies exploded. This time it did not turn into fragments, but directly exploded into powder!

"Shattered to pieces!"

"Split into pieces!"

"Separate left and right!"

Andros spoke very quickly, chanting the spell loudly. In fact, he could cast the spell silently instantly, but this was a demonstration for Tom, so he chanted it out loud.

What shocked Tom was that the three spells were fired almost at the same time, attacking dummies nine, ten, and eleven from three different angles.

The most outrageous thing is that the order in which the dummy shattered was also correct.

"Tom, remember this feeling of casting a spell. Your mind moves as it pleases. Your wand is the eye of your body, not your weapon. Only by developing this habit can you cast magic more freely."

Andros took the time to explain to Tom, and with the feedback from his body, a lot of skills and experience came to his mind.

But this was not enough, Tom once again entered his extraordinary state.

The world, or rather Andros's casting speed, slowed down countless times in his perception. Many tiny details were captured by him with his amplified perception, and he had ample time to remember and digest them.

In less than thirty seconds, Andros had cleared out all twenty-two puppets. Without waiting for the Room of Requirement to be repaired, he took the initiative to restore all the puppets to their original state and began a new round of demonstrations.

In seven minutes, Andros cleared eleven rounds of dummies.

This is not his limit, but the limit of Tom's magic.

Even if he has the same magical talent, he is ultimately just a young wizard who has just entered school. The improvement of a wizard's magic power depends on talent and age.

That's why there's a saying that the older you get, the stronger your magic power becomes.

Of course, talent is definitely more important than age. A person with mediocre talent will not be a match for a person who has just graduated and has the magical talent of the King of the Century even if he lives to be a hundred years old.

After seven minutes, Andros returned to the semester space and Tom regained control of his body.

A feeling of weakness surged from his body and brain, and he almost fell to the ground.

Shaking his head and standing up, Tom raised his wand, suppressing the feeling of powerlessness as if he had been hollowed out.

The effect of physical practice has ended, but the extraordinary state has not ended yet, so it must not be wasted.

......

Please give me flowers and votes, thank you all.

Chapter 35: The Most Typical Slytherin, Mrs. Greengrass's Doubts

Three minutes later, the extraordinary state ended and Tom lay on his back, gasping for breath.

The results are gratifying.

Although the power of the spell decreased due to lack of magic power, his control ability was qualitatively improved. He only accidentally injured two dummies, and the rest were all destroyed in order.

Personal practice + extraordinary understanding is definitely a winning combination. The progress he achieved in these ten minutes is an insurmountable gap that many people will never be able to understand in their entire lives.

Andros also sighed quietly.

Tom has such a terrifying talent (the power of the system), and he will eventually grow into an unprecedentedly powerful wizard.

...

After resting for half an hour, Tom felt that his condition was beginning to improve. He no longer felt dizzy and the feeling of weakness gradually subsided. These were signs that his magic power was recovering.

Although he still felt tired, Tom forced himself to continue training.

Compared to physical comfort, he actually desires strength more.

The experiences of two lives made him deeply understand that only those who possess absolute power are qualified to enjoy life.

In the previous life, power was money and power.

And now, power is magic!

So there is really no problem with the Sorting Hat putting Tom into Slytherin. Perhaps Tom thinks that he gains power just to protect himself and live a better life, but this is still an ambition.

Ambition, bloodline, talent, these three things added together, no one is more Slytherin than Tom.

call out!

The magic spell flashed red light, bypassing the obstacles and successfully hitting the target.

But Tom was still not satisfied.

He clearly remembered the shock caused by Andros's spell.

The spell flies faster than his, and the spell used with the same magic power is more powerful than his. If the power he causes is 1, then Andros is about 3 or 4.

Tom knew that it was still a long way to go for him to catch up with Andros, but he was not discouraged. He had to take one step at a time and practice one spell at a time.

First increase the speed and stabilize the hit rate. As long as these two can be achieved, you will be at the top among ordinary wizards.

......

For two days, except for going back to the dormitory to sleep and going to the auditorium to eat, Tom basically stayed in the Room of Requirement.
