Hogwarts in the shadows

This "explosive magic" feature of Simo soon caused a sensation in District 13.

Many researchers known as "mad scientists" gather here.

They showed great interest in Seamus's explosion magic.

Even Marcus Apache, the chief ordnance scientist of District 13, was alarmed.

He had a hunch that if he could delve deeper into the secrets of this unique magical property.

Then perhaps, they will have the power to change the course of the war.

So he took the initiative to find Simo and invited him to join his research team to explore the mysteries of explosion magic together.

Seamus was surprised and excited about Apache's invitation.

He heard of this big guy as soon as he arrived in District 13.

Now all the equipment for Shadow's main battle comes from this big guy.

There is even an extremely mysterious weapon that is his masterpiece.

Although the weapon has not yet been used in battle due to its power.

But the Apache name has become a legend in the Thirteenth District.

Now that he has the opportunity to work with such a big boss, Simo will naturally not miss this opportunity.

He accepted Apache's invitation without hesitation.

So he joined Apache's third laboratory with the newly formed explosion team.

The moment Simo stepped into the third laboratory, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The entire laboratory has been expanded by the Traceless Extension Spell, and covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters.

It was filled with all kinds of instruments he had never even heard of.

The huge crystal ball floats in the air like a hot air balloon, emitting a dreamy light;

The complex mechanical device, with its gears and chains meshing precisely, makes a rhythmic sound;

Others look like the remains of some creature, carefully inlaid in metal frames, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

He originally thought that the laboratory he was assigned to was good enough, but compared with Apache's third laboratory, it was not even as good as a small workshop.

Although Apache is very desperate in his research, he is actually very kind.

He personally led Simo on a comprehensive tour of the third laboratory.

He also introduced each piece of equipment in the laboratory in detail, and patiently explained their functions, uses and complex operating principles.

"This is our mana analyzer," Apache said, pointing to a large crystal ball.

"It can accurately analyze the composition and fluctuation frequency of the magic power in a magician's body, thus helping us better understand the nature of magic."

Then they came to a complex mechanical device.

"This is a Transfiguration Experimental Table. It can transform objects into various shapes and sizes according to our needs. It is an important tool for us when studying Transfiguration."

"And this," Apache led Seamus over to a large metal frame.

“This is our latest research achievement – ​​a magical creature simulator.

It can simulate the behaviors and characteristics of magical creatures, helping us better understand and study them.”

Listening to Apache's introduction, Simo was completely amazed, with excitement gleaming in his eyes.

Under Apache's careful guidance, Seamus began to experiment with these advanced magical devices himself.

They conducted countless attempts, tested various methods and spells, and recorded a huge amount of experimental data.

Finally, the mystery of the explosive properties of Seamus' magic was gradually revealed.

It turns out that Simo's magic contains a unique energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation produced a strange resonance with the fluctuation frequency of the spell, thus causing an explosive effect.

This major discovery excited Simo and his team.

What’s even more exciting is that if we can master the control method of this fluctuation.

This means that the explosion will no longer be an uncontrollable force.

"Seamus, are you ready?" Apache's voice had a hint of anticipation.

Seamus nodded, his heartbeat quickening and his palms slightly sweaty.

After countless attempts and failures, he finally mastered the method of controlling that special energy fluctuation.

This time, he knew he was about to take a crucial step.

If successful, it means that the direction of their research will have immeasurable application value.

He took a deep breath, concentrated, and began to chant the spell.

He pointed his wand at a test tube in a blast-proof glass enclosure, and the liquid inside began to boil.

Then suddenly, there was an explosion.

The entire test tube exploded completely, and the destructive force even caused tiny cracks to appear on the explosion-proof glass.

The precision instruments in the laboratory faithfully recorded the experimental data of this time, without missing any details.

Apache looked at the data on the screen excitedly, with the light of discovering a new world flashing in his eyes.

"Seamus, do you know what this means?"

"A completely new magical power?" Seamus answered tentatively.

Although he has entered the Shadow now, he directly joined the scientific research team and does not have much sensitivity to military affairs and ordnance.

"What you said is just a small matter. If this feature is fully applied on the battlefield, it will greatly enhance the attack capability of Shadow."

He looked at Seamus, who was still a little confused, and continued to explain.

"Imagine if we used Transfiguration to create ten thousand little mice, scattered them across the battlefield, and then used this trait of yours to detonate them."

Ximo's pupils suddenly contracted, "This... this..."

Apache patted Seamus on the shoulder.

“You have to know that whether it is magic grenades or magic bullets, their manufacturing time and cost are quite high.

But this characteristic of yours is like a no-cost business, which can greatly reduce the cost of war.

Moreover, the shapeshifting creatures can be completely controlled remotely, which can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers."

He looked at Simo with envy. This was simply a talent given by God!

“You’re going to make history.”

Seamus' mouth opened wide enough for two fists.

He really didn't expect that this spellcasting obstacle that had been bothering him actually contained such great value.

"So can we apply it on the battlefield now?"

Apache looked at Seamus's reaction and smiled.

He could understand how encouraging and motivating this achievement was for a young researcher.

But he still had to pour a bucket of cold water on Seamus.

“Our current achievements are at best semi-finished products, and there are still many issues that need to be studied.

For example, what kind of carrier should be chosen to achieve the best explosion effect.

Also, detonation cannot rely on human control, which makes almost no sense on the battlefield.

We need to create a suitable instrument to change this characteristic so that it can be used on a large scale on the battlefield.

In addition, we also need to develop a variety of equipment that can adapt to various complex terrains and environments according to different battlefield application scenarios."
