The demon monk in the second dimension

Xia Zhi tried it and found that it was a mixture of several spells, including "Mindfulness Mantra", "Thinking Acceleration Mantra", and "Powerful Memory Mantra".

It cannot make people smarter, but it can maximize a person's intelligence and learning ability, thus achieving the effect of becoming smarter.

This ability is very similar to Felix Felicidade, which seems to improve luck but actually brings out a person's best potential.

In other words, the Ravenclaw tiara is a magical artifact-type Felix Felicis.

However, it is not very useful in the hands of Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi wasn't a real little wizard to begin with; she was already able to perfectly utilize her abilities. All she lacked now was magical power.

Perhaps a thousand years ago, when the concentration of spiritual energy was still very high, the crown had other wonderful uses.

But for now, that's all there is to it.

Xia Zhi removed the crown from her head, cleaned it, brushed off the dust, stuffed it into the pocket of her wizard's robe, and then left the Room of Requirement.

For the next two weeks, Xia Zhi spent the entire time in the Requirement Rooms in a room where she could practice magic and study Standard Spells, Level 2.

Time flies, and it's already the day before Halloween.

On this day, the young wizards learned the Levitation Charm in their Spells class.

That is, "Yugadimurleviosa"!

Summer Solstice succeeded on her first try, much to the amusement of the young wizards, while the others continued to try to make the feather float.

As the best-performing student, Summer Solstice was often paired with Neville by Professor Flitwick.

The chubby boy hasn't grown into an outstanding Gryffindor yet; his grades are almost always at the bottom.

Hermione, who was paired with Ron, watched his somewhat clumsy movements and didn't hold back in correcting his pronunciation and gestures.

You should do it!

Ron was furious.

"proceed if you can!"

As it turned out, Hermione actually went.

"Yu Jia Yi Dimlevi-O-Sa!"

Without a word, the feather immediately floated up.

Professor Flitwick exclaimed excitedly.

"Look, Miss Granger did it too!"

After class, Ron found Harry and complained to him.

"No wonder everyone can't stand her! Honestly, she's a nightmare! I don't know what Xia sees in her at all!"

Hermione happened to pass by from behind.

She had meant well in reminding Ron, but she was deeply saddened and walked away from the two of them in tears.

“Ron, Hermione seems to have heard that.”

Harry whispered as if he'd been caught doing something wrong.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhi glanced at the two of them, then weaved through the crowd of students leaving get out of class and chased after Hermione.

“Xia also heard it.”

Ron regretted it a little, but for the sake of his pride, he said it nonchalantly.

"So what if she heard it! Hermione only has Xia as a friend!"

……

The next class was Herbalism, but neither Summer Solstice nor Hermione showed up.

Professor Sproude found it strange, but still handled it according to school rules.

"Gryffindor loses 20 points!"

At that moment, Summer Solstice was comforting Hermione at the bathroom door.

She almost rushed into the women's restroom.

"go away!"

Hermione pushed Xia Zhi away forcefully, tears streaming down her face.

There was even a little bit of snot.

“I know everyone hates me! Some people even say I shouldn’t be a Gryffindor, but a Ravenclaw! I’m clearly helping them! I’ve also earned the House a lot of points!”

Although Xia Zhi wouldn't mind chasing Hermione into the women's restroom, it's best to avoid it if possible.

He half-held Hermione in his arms, and although the little witch resisted several times, she was far weaker than Xia Zhi.

Hermione finally couldn't resist Xia Zhi and leaned against him, sobbing softly.

"That's because they don't understand your good intentions."

Patting the little witch on the back, Xia Zhi comforted Hermione.

"Having a sense of collective honor is a good thing, and being eager to help classmates is also a good thing. They can't understand your good intentions now, but they will when the exam comes."

"Come with me, I'll take you to a nice place."

Carrying Hermione, Xia Zhi made her way to the eighth floor.

He paced back and forth in front of the House of Requirement three times, whispering to himself.

"I want a place to practice magic, I want a place to practice magic, I want a place to practice magic."

Soon, the room that Xia Zhi usually used to practice magic appeared.

Following Xia Zhi into the room, Hermione saw the spellbooks piled up everywhere, the practice dummies, and many other props. She wiped away her tears and snot and exclaimed in surprise.

"Where is this place?"

"Clean up!"

Xia Zhi used his wand to clean up Hermione's mess and explained to her.

"This is where I usually practice magic."

Seeing Hermione still sobbing, Xia Zhi took the crown out of her pocket.

"Hermione, I don't know when your birthday is, but I can give you your birthday present in advance. This is a treasure that can enhance your learning ability several times over—the Ravenclaw tiara."

Hearing Xia Zhi's words, Hermione blushed first, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"The Ravenclaw tiara, created by the four founders of Hogwarts, is said to grant people superhuman intelligence?"

"Wasn't it lost thousands of years ago? How did it end up with you?"

"I found it in this magical room."

Summer Solstice handed Hermione a beautifully crafted, noble, and exquisite crown that, even without magical powers, was exquisitely made.

"After wearing it, your thinking speed and memory ability can be greatly increased, but it is also somewhat addictive. After experiencing what it's like to be a superhero, slowly learning the spell will feel very uncomfortable."

Hermione desperately wanted this treasure.

Her eyes trembled as she stared intently at the crown in Xia Zhi's hand, and finally, reluctantly, she refused.

"I can't accept it; this is your treasure. So, Xia, you were able to learn so quickly because of the crown?"

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed the gap between her and Xia Zhi wasn't as big as she had imagined.

"Then you underestimate me too much, Hermione. I was able to learn so many spells through my hard work and talent, not because of the Ravenclaw crown."

Ignoring Hermione's refusal, Xia Zhi placed the crown directly on her head.

"Now I'm giving it to you, little witch!"

Chapter 281 Ravenclaw's Crown

After Hermione put on the Ravenclaw crown, Xia Zhi presented her with the "Standard Spells, Level Two" manual that he had learned most of.

"Try this expansion spell."

Hermione stared wide-eyed as she looked at the book Xia Zhi handed her and adjusted the crown on her head to make it more comfortable.

"This is a second-grade textbook!"

She said to Xia Zhi with a mixture of surprise and disappointment.

"You're already learning second-grade material?"

"You can do it too after using the crown. In essence, the spells for the first, second, and third grades are not very difficult."

Xia Zhi held her wand and waved it in front of Hermione.

"I'll try it once, watch carefully. Grow bigger quickly!"

His movements were slow, his chanting was loud, and he pointed at a ball that was only ten centimeters in size.

A flash of yellow light, and the ball immediately expanded to twice its original size.

"I think I've learned it."

After watching Summer Solstice's demonstration, Hermione showed an excited expression.

She also took out her wand and pointed it at the other ball.

"Grow bigger quickly!"

Similarly, the other ball also swelled up.

"This crown is amazing!"

Hermione stared wide-eyed as she learned five or six spells in a row.

Xia Zhi can learn all of these skills after just one demonstration.

Even if you can't cast it successfully on the first try, you can still release the spell by trying a few more times.

However, when Hermione removed the crown and had Summer Solstice demonstrate the spell to her again, Hermione noticed the difference.

She tried more than ten times before she could barely learn the trick of "clear water like a spring".

Even when Hermione cast the spells she had learned before, she became somewhat clumsy and awkward, completely lacking the ease and grace she displayed when wearing the crown.

The little witch stared at the crown for several minutes, her expression changing several times.

There was longing, jealousy, unease, and greed.

But in the end, she ruthlessly shoved the crown back into Xia Zhi's hands, turned her head, closed her eyes, and shouted.

"This is too precious, I can't accept it!"

"Can……"

As soon as Xia Zhi opened his mouth, Hermione reached out and covered it with her hand, her eyes even showing a pleading expression.

"Please! This thing is terrifying! If I keep wearing it, I'll never be able to live without it! I want to become a great witch through my own efforts, not through magical gadgets!"

Xia Zhi pulled Hermione's hand away, took the crown, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“Then give it to the House. If Professor Dumbledore accepts it, then return it to Ravenclaw. As far as I know, Lady Ravenclaw has no heir. If Professor Dumbledore indicates that I can accept this crown, then keep it with me for now, and you can use it whenever you want.”

“That’s one way to do it.”

Hermione thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Okay. I'll go with you."

After leaving the Requirement Room, the two went to the principal's office on the same floor.

The eagle head on the door knocker looked at Xia Zhi, completely ignoring his repeated entries and exits from the principal's office, and asked.

"Password!"

Xia Zhi knocked on the door.

"Tell Professor Dumbledore immediately, I have something urgent to tell him."

Eagle Head bowed and said.

"The principal is not here."
