I'm a priest at Hogwarts

He took out the metal figurine from the box and played with it to slowly regain his composure. Orlando began to concentrate, split his mental power into five, and controlled the five metal figurines at the same time.

You must know that an ordinary person can basically do two things through training, but if it is three things or four things, it is not something ordinary people can do. This requires strong mental and soul power to support it.

If there is no strong mental and soul power to back it up, and you forcefully use multi-tasking, you may be okay in the short term, but over time it will cause brain damage, ranging from becoming an idiot at worst, to the collapse of the soul and the death of the body.

Orlando naturally does not have this problem. He has been born with strong soul power in his two lives, so whether he is learning magic or practicing Taoism, his progress is different from ordinary people.

You must know that magic cultivates spiritual power and Taoism cultivates soul. Although the methods of the two are different, they reach the same goal by different paths, because whether it is strengthening the soul or evolving the body, the end is to break the shackles of the human body, transcend the world, and achieve immortality.

What Orlando has to do now is to continue to tap into its own potential and turn its innate advantages into acquired strengths.

It seems easy to be distracted, but it is actually very difficult. But when Orlando controlled five metal villains to complete different actions at the same time, he discovered that his mental power was consumed at a rate more than twice as fast as before.

The mud ball in his mind was spinning rapidly, and the sea of ​​​​consciousness was running rapidly like a super computer. In less than a minute, Orlando was breathing heavily, like a drowning child. After realizing that his mental power could no longer keep up with the output, he decisively The practice was terminated.

"Orlando, what's wrong with you?" Hermione, who had been paying attention to him, quickly discovered something unusual about him and hurried over.

"I'm fine, just take a rest and I'll be fine." Orlando wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to divide one's mind for five uses, and it would take so much effort. I really don't know how the teacher managed to divide one's mind for ten uses." Orlando said with emotion.

"Nicholas Flamel lived for hundreds of years, which is not what we today can compare with. You must not be too ambitious." Hermione was still a little worried and couldn't help but advise.

"Don't worry, I know what I know," she said, patting her hand. "The teacher said that I have excellent qualifications and can learn everything quickly. The only flaw is that my potential has yet to be developed. I was testing my limits just now. , Now that I know where the limit is, I’m not afraid anymore, are you relieved?”

At this time, Harry and Ron also noticed something unusual here and came over.

"Orlando, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Harry, don't worry, how's your practice going?"

"It seems difficult. No matter how hard we concentrate, the feathers just don't move." Harry was a little frustrated.

"Where's Ron?"

"I...I'm not sure. I felt a movement, but when I tried again it didn't work." Ron wasn't sure if it was an illusion, so he scratched his head.

"Ron, do you still remember the scene during the first magic riot?"

"I remember, when I was little, George and Fred scared me with spiders. I was so scared that I almost blew up the house because I lost control of my emotions. Dad gave them a good lesson for this," Ron said sheepishly.

"Strong emotional fluctuations can cause magic riots. If you can control your emotions and guide this power to your own use, Ron, think about it, how powerful you will become by then?"

"How can we do it?" Ron asked eagerly.

Orado did not rush to answer him, but turned to look at Harry.

"Harry, I remember what you said about your experiences before you entered school. You once flew onto the roof to avoid being chased, and Cousin Dudley changed the glass guardrail and let a snake go. These were all without you. It was done using a wand without the ability to cast spells, have you ever thought about why this is?"

"Why?" Hermione thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, why is this? Orlando, please stop being so secretive and tell us quickly." Harry felt as if he had caught something.

"Before the Middle Ages, people did not have wands, but they were still able to use magic. They relied on spiritual power. As the times progressed, wizards also improved, so there were wands."

"The use of magic wands reduced the difficulty of casting spells. While promoting the progress of magical civilization, it also made wizards dependent. Until hundreds of years later, people gradually became accustomed to the use of magic wands, to the point where everyone has one in hand. This is why The reason why so few people today can cast spells without a wand.”

"Of course, we can't say that the wand is bad, but I think the power of a wizard cannot be based on external objects, but should focus on himself. Only when he is strong can he be truly powerful."

"This is just like Ron. When you were a child, you almost blew up the house because of the sudden burst of fear and fear. This kind of power is not given to you by the magic wand, but is something you actually possess, strong emotional fluctuations. It is a way to release mental power. What we have to do now is to master this method through systematic training. Do you understand?"

Hermione would have questions in the past, but out of her trust in Orlando, she didn't think much about it. After listening to Orlando's answer today, it suddenly became clear. She originally thought that mental power was just a kind of magic, and exercising mental power was When practicing soul magic, I didn't realize that mental power is only the foundation and the key to mastering powerful magic. Now that I understand this truth, it seems that the mystery of magic has been unlocked all at once.

"I see, that means that as long as we train in this way, when our mental power is strong enough, we can release magic without a wand?"

"It's understandable, Harry, but you have to understand that doing this is just the first step. You still need to communicate with magical elements and find your own attributes. You must know that there is no end to practice. If you want to go further, you can You must find your own way. Of course, it is too early to say this now. All you have to do now is to calm down and take the first step."

"Orlando, where are you now?" Ron asked curiously.

"It's barely the second step, but I hit it by mistake. If the teacher hadn't taken action in time, I might have died." Orlando was terrified when he thought about his reckless move.

"Is it the time you disappeared last year?" Hermione held Orlando's hand.

"Yes, if Kabri hadn't discovered me in time and sent me back to the teacher, I might not have been able to come back. So you must learn from the lesson, play it steady, and don't rush forward rashly."

After a few more instructions, they separated again and started practicing separately.

After struggling until ten o'clock in the evening, Harry and Ron still made no progress. Hermione was slightly stronger and could succeed once out of ten times. After all, she had been practicing before.

"That's it for today. Harry and Ron, you two go back and try to meditate according to the way I taught you. I still said the same thing, the master led me in, practice is personal, I have said everything that needs to be said, what can you become in the end? What does it look like? It’s entirely up to you, so go for it.”

"Well, we will work hard, don't worry." Harry and Ron promised eagerly.

Orlando shook his head indifferently. They were still in the excitement stage and hoped that they would not return to their original state as soon as the excitement passed.

"Hermione, you have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Don't force yourself to practice just to pursue progress. Mental training cannot be completed overnight. It needs to be done step by step and relax. So you have to control your time and take a break every once in a while. This way you won’t damage your soul due to mental exhaustion, so remember this.”

Hermione has always been a diligent girl, and she never needs anyone to worry about her training, but Orlando is afraid that she will be too diligent, because the soul is no better than the body, and it is more difficult to recover after being injured.

"I know, you! When you tell others, you tell them exactly the same thing, but when it's your turn, you don't remember them all." Hermione looked at him angrily.

Orlando scratched his head at what she said. His temperament as a cultivator was inherited from his previous life, and he couldn't change it even if he wanted to.

It was rare for Harry and Ron to see Orlando like this, so they covered their mouths and laughed.
