Chapter 203

Tom's soul memory was locked by the Soul Seed, including memories of various spells, which were blank before enrollment.

The spells he mastered now, except for the simple spells he "recalled" through the quest reward "Guide Book", the remaining spells, such as Expelliarmus, Incarcerous, etc., were all self-taught and mastered recently.

These aggressive spells were much higher in difficulty than the daily spells used by Hermione, and he had been in contact with magic for a shorter time. Being able to achieve this level, it can only be said that he is indeed a genius.

After the two young wizards did four sets of experiments in contrast, Murphy built a temporary darkroom nearby with magic, washed the dozens of photos taken in the darkroom, and then used magic to accelerate the printing of dozens of large-format photos.

He marked each photo with a number, walked out of the darkroom, handed those large-format photos to Tom and Hermione, twenty each, and handed them each a stack of forms, "See the number on the magic power tester?"

"According to the number, copy the readings on each magic power tester into the corresponding grid. Each form corresponds to a photo, and the number of the form must be consistent with the photo."

"Professor, what is this for?" Hermione asked.

"Do you remember the quantification I mentioned?"

"We designed the experiment and controlled the key variables. For the results, we must quantify them as much as possible."

"For today's experiment, we monitor magic power with magic power testers, record the magic power values around the wizard in the two states of using the wand and not using the wand, and conduct analysis and comparison to draw conclusions from the data."

"I said you should learn more math, so that you can better conduct data analysis."

"Of course, today's experiment is very simple. We only need to compare the size of the two sets of data."

More than ten minutes later, the two sets of data were sorted out separately.

Dozens of forms were divided into two rows by Murphy, "The top is the magic power value around the wizard after reciting the spell in the state of not using the wand. The bottom is the magic power value in the state of using the wand."

"What did you find?"

"The values below are significantly larger," Tom said.

"Not bad, without careful analysis, we can find that in the state of using the wand, the magic power value around the wizard is much higher, which is a favorable evidence for our conjecture."

"But besides that, what other information can you find from these data?"

"The magic power when Tom uses the spell is much higher than mine..." Hermione said, a bit hit.

And the spells Tom used just now were also more advanced than hers, and he was even more powerful than her.

"There are always people in this world who are more talented than us," Murphy said, "The teacher's talent was much worse than yours when he was in school. However, if you want to achieve something in a certain thing, the right method and persistent training are equally important. Any other discoveries?"

"The magic power value at the arm is always higher than the chest and abdomen position when releasing the spell, and even higher than the leg," Tom said.

Murphy nodded, "What conjecture do you have about this?"

"Perhaps the distribution of magic power in the body is not average, or perhaps magic power can flow. When releasing the spell, the magic power of the whole body flows to the arm, and then is guided out of the body through the wand."

"Very good, do you have a method to verify this conjecture?"

"I can measure the magic power value of various parts of the body in a static state and compare it with the value when using the spell..."

Murphy smiled with satisfaction, "You are starting to know how to do experiments."

"Then let's start."

At dinner, the four-person group gathered.

"How about it, did you ask anything?" Hermione asked.

"Hagrid did go to Gringotts in July!" Harry said, "However, he was ordered by Dumbledore to go, but he didn't say what he went to do specifically."

Hermione thought for a moment, "Do you remember that report? Gringotts was robbed, but the things in Vault 713 had already been taken away by someone before. I think Hagrid should have been ordered by Dumbledore to take that thing, and that thing... is probably placed under the trapdoor in the fourth-floor corridor now."

"The fourth-floor corridor was forbidden to enter this year, to be precise, it should be this summer vacation," Hermione said.

"Makes sense, what exactly is that thing?" Harry asked.

Hermione shook her head, "You'd better go ask Hagrid."

"Okay, what about you? Did you make the wand?"

"Not yet," Tom said, "Professor Murphy is researching the principle of the wand. He wants to figure out how the wand works before making it."

"Oh, okay, that means my new wand still has to wait," Ron was really looking forward to changing to a new wand.

"You should all come to listen to Professor Murphy's class," Hermione said, "He is different from other professors, he is too smart... incredible, he will make people rethink what magic is, I feel I understand magic better, and understand many things I didn't understand before..."

"I said so, you fell in love with him," Ron couldn't understand Hermione's fanaticism.

Hermione blushed immediately, hummed, and didn't want to ignore him, but she didn't refute, after all, she was indeed thinking about writing a letter to the professor just now.

"Hermione is right," Tom said, "You should really go listen to the teacher's class, he... is a remarkable person."

"Even Tom..." Ron opened his mouth in surprise, "Did he use Amortentia on you?"

You guys have only been with him for an hour, right?

"The professor he..." Tom was about to say something, when suddenly he felt a gaze. He turned his head, but saw several young wizards at the Slytherin table hurriedly turned their heads away.

He frowned, Malfoy?

"He actually became friends with that Potter!" In the corridor leading to the basement, several young wizards gathered together. The speaker was a mean-faced girl, "Even when Draco invited him, he didn't agree!"

"Mudbloods like to stay with Mudbloods," Draco mocked.

"Someone like him can actually be sorted into Slytherin!" Pansy was indignant, "That broken hat is also broken."

"We should teach him a lesson," another tall and thin boy said, "Now the senior students treat us as a joke, actually wanting to stir with Gryffindor."

"Let's start with this Mudblood," a boy with a face full of acne put on a hood in a middle-school style, "This is the test of the Brotherhood for you, Draco. If you can't even manage the students in the same year, you are not qualified to join the Brotherhood."

"Hmph, I'll let him know who he should follow later. We'll wait for him here!"

Draco was acting tough, but he was secretly panicked in his heart.

The scene on the Hogwarts Express still remained in his mind. For Tom, he was really a bit afraid.

When the "elites" of Slytherin were plotting to deal with a young wizard, they didn't know that a crow squatting on the windowsill had seen everything.

After dinner, separated from the group members, Tom was preparing to return to the dormitory to rest.

Suddenly he felt something, came to a corner, opened the notebook, and found that a quest had been updated on it.

"Side quest: Establish your majesty!"

"Quest description: The fact that you have a good relationship with students from other houses has caused dissatisfaction among several Slytherin students, and they are preparing to teach you a lesson. It's time to show some strength to deter them."

"Quest goal: Defeat the students who came to provoke."

"Quest reward: Shield Charm."
