Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Miss Granger, are you sure you can successfully cast the Flying Charm? Mrs. Longbottom is right. This spell is indeed a bit difficult for first-year students," Dean said.

"I've tried a few simple spells at home, just for practice, and they all worked." Hermione said confidently, "Although I haven't tried it, I think the flying spell is not complicated."

Looking at the little girl who was a little overconfident, Dean secretly held his forehead.

Dean had never doubted Hermione's ability, but he didn't think Hermione could succeed in one go - if the object of the Flying Curse was a living creature, the difficulty would increase exponentially, and Hermione obviously didn't realize this. .

Dean felt that he needed to remind this "Miss Know-It-All" who seemed a bit conceited at the moment.

"Miss Granger, I think..." Dean was mid-sentence when he was interrupted by Hermione who was eager to give it a try.

"Mr. Thomas, I think spells require regular practice in order to be proficient in them. I think we can have a competition to see who can use the Flying Charm to summon Rifle. How about it?" Hermione looked at Dean provocatively. .

She is such a vengeful little girl. Didn't she show a little neglect just now?Dean laughed inwardly, he would not argue with a little girl.

Dean even thought of a reason for rejecting Hermione: using Neville's toad to compete would be too disrespectful to the owner.

Unfortunately, before Dean could refuse, the system threw out a task:

"Quest: Hermione's Challenge.

Hermione Granger, arguably the best of the freshmen, now challenges you.The chance to show your strength has come. Defeat her in the next competition and let her know who is the real genius.

Reward: Extract one of Hermione's skills, favorability +50, 2 skill points. "

Only 2 skill points?Not as good as Malfoy!

Dean curled his lips secretly, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. Compared with the real skill points, being low-key is not worth mentioning at all!

"Okay, since you insist, I promise to compete with you!" Dean lazily pulled out the blackthorn wand.

"Which one of us comes first!" Hermione looked a little excited.

"Ladies first~" Dean was not worried at all that he would lose.

The Flying Curse has long been one of the magic spells he has mastered. Although it does not reach level 3 like the Luminous Curse and Floating, he has also practiced it to level 2 - if this can be lost to He who used the Flying Curse for the first time. Min, Dean just jumped out of the car and committed suicide.

"Then I'm sorry - here comes Lyford!" Hermione immediately shouted, waving her wand.

Dean keenly sensed a string of magic waves flying out of the wand head - she was indeed a famous talented woman, she could do this for the first time using the Flying Curse - but this little magic power probably wouldn't even reach the lifeless chocolate. You can't even summon a frog, let alone a living toad like Leif.

Neville and Seamus looked at Hermione expectantly. They had seen Hermione successfully use magic before in Harry and Ron's box.

Unfortunately, after 5 minutes passed, there was still no sign of Leif.

During this period, Hermione used the Flying Curse several times in succession. Unfortunately, Dean clearly sensed that the magic power released by Hermione was getting weaker and weaker, and it was destined to be unsuccessful.

"It's my turn." Dean announced her defeat after making sure Hermione had given up completely.

"Mr. Thomas, at least you are right about one thing. For first-year students, the Flying Curse is too difficult." Hermione said unyieldingly. It seemed that she firmly believed that Dean would not be able to succeed either - so at least they could count on it. Tie.

Regarding Miss Know-It-All's stubbornness, Dean shook his head with a smile, gracefully waved his blackthorn wand, and said softly: "Here comes Leif~"

Neville and Seamus stared at each other. In their opinion, Dean's flying spell was no different from Hermione's - Leif still didn't show up.

Hermione's tense face visibly relaxed, and she was relieved to see that Dean also failed.

Dean felt that the atmosphere in the box was a bit strange and looked at them inexplicably: "Why do you all have such weird expressions?"

Seamus sighed, put his arm around Dean's shoulders and comforted him: "Dean, failure is nothing special. The Flying Curse is indeed too difficult. I suspect it will be difficult for a senior student to succeed in one go."

Dean looked at him with a strange expression: "You don't think my flying spell failed, do you?"

Seamus thought that Dean was stimulated, so he continued to comfort him in a coaxing tone: "The answer is obvious, Leif..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Neville shouting in surprise and joy: "Leifu!"

They saw a toad whizzing toward them like it was tied to a rocket.

"Wow, Dean, you actually succeeded!" Seamus immediately shouted in disbelief.

Hermione was also shocked.

"Leifu was probably hiding far away, so it took a while - I almost thought I failed." Dean was extremely humble and saved Hermione some face.

In fact, the real reason is that he is currently in a state of "mental power decline", so after reciting the spell, there is a slight delay before the spell can take effect.

Dean's modesty was in stark contrast to Hermione's aggressiveness just now. Neville and Seamus looked at Hermione a little differently.

Hermione looked a little lost, and Dean also felt a little regretful. It seemed that defeating her in the field she was most proud of was a bit too cruel for her.Hermione

However - when Dean saw the system marking "Mission: Hermione's Challenge" completed, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared and was completely taken over by anticipation.

Dean felt that Hermione was a real treasure trove, and useless skills such as "Wizard Chess Master" would never be extracted from her.

After accepting 2 skill points and 50 points of favorability with Hermione, Dean immediately chose the lottery - the system paired the result of the lottery with a piece of cheerful music as never before.

"Passive skill: Get twice the result with half the effort, permanently increasing the speed at which the host masters spells through learning and practice."

"It is detected that the host has a favorable impression of a figure in the magical world, and the 'bond' function is activated."

"Bond: There is a close connection between the host and a specific character. After reaching 1% of level 50, the host will obtain corresponding gain effects based on different characters. The gain range increases according to the favorability of the host and the bonded character."

"Hermione's Bond: Slightly increases the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."

At the same time, the system has an additional bonding interface. Currently, there is only Hermione's name on it, and the mark is clear: the bond level 1 progress bar is at about half way, and the favorability degree is +50.

A series of system prompts made Dean feel dizzy.

He didn't expect the rewards from this mission to be so awesome.

Dean made a simple calculation and found out that the "double the result with half the effort" effect of getting Hermione's 50 favorability points can shorten the spell progress bar in the magic talent system by a quarter, which means that his strength growth will be greatly accelerated.

It seems it's time to improve Hermione's favorability, but I don't know if there is an upper limit to this favorability.

Dean was satisfied with what method he should use to get enough favorability from Hermione to increase the effect of "doing twice the result with half the effort".

No matter what, it's always good to communicate more~ Dean looked up expectantly, only to find that Hermione was no longer in the box.
