Chapter 116

"Oh, are you okay? Sean."

Jia Siting's voice rang out,

and in fact, Sean was not doing well; he seemed to have already seen what was about to happen.

He silently changed his seat, and then heard a burst of whispering:

"What does Ximo want to do? Luo En?"

"He wants to turn the goblet into rum; he did turn it into weak tea a couple of days ago, but later..."

"Later?"

Abruptly, a huge, scalding black smoke rose instantly, enveloping Ximo completely.

Shards of broken glass and water droplets scattered everywhere, and the young wizards around screamed and dodged.

Hemin was so scared that she backed away repeatedly, her eyes wide.

The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing Ximo's appearance.

His face was pitch black, as if he had just crawled out of a chimney, his hair was blown straight up, and wisps of blue smoke were still rising.

He coughed repeatedly from the choking smoke, his eyes dull, clearly stunned by this sudden failure.

A moment of silence fell over the entire table, followed by an explosion of uproarious laughter.

Luo En laughed so hard he pounded the table, spilling pumpkin juice everywhere;

Harry also couldn't help but laugh, quickly lowering his head to hide his amusement.

Only Jia Siting quickly walked up and handed over a handkerchief:

"Are you okay? Ximo?"

Just then, owls flooded into the Great Hall as usual to deliver mail, diverting everyone's attention in time.

Only Hemin looked suspiciously at Sean, who had moved away just in time:

"Did you feel that magical power?"

Ever since Professor Sineipu gave Sean that magical potion,

after Sean came out of the dungeon, there would always be one or two potions refreshed on him,

the note on them occasionally being: Drink;

occasionally nothing at all.

But if Sean came to the dungeon with a crystal vial full of potions, Professor Sineipu's sarcasm would be as dense as machine-gun fire.

The progress on the Swelling Solution was fast; it was unlocked in less than two days,

and at the same time, Professor Sineipu also taught Sean how to prepare the Deflating Draught,

the reason being:

"With your troll-like technique, you'll need it."

Regardless, Sean had ultimately learned another potion.

The panel also changed to:

【Title: Potion Novice】

【Boil-Cure Potion: Apprentice Level (220/300)】

【Swelling Solution: Apprentice Level (1/300)】

【Deflating Draught: Unlocked (1/30)】

【Advanced: Three entry-level potions can unlock the entry-level title for the Potion field】

Compared to the slow but steady progress of potions, the progress in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms was much faster.

Tuesday.

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"N-now, who c-c-can tell me the three types of t-trolls?"

Professor Qiluo asked, stuttering, his timid gaze sweeping over the crowd of Slytherins and Ravenclaws,

until Anthony stood up:

"Mountain Trolls, River Trolls, and Forest Trolls."

He answered,

"Mountain Trolls are the largest, with light gray bodies, bald heads, skin rougher than a rhinoceros, and a physique stronger than ten men.

However, their brains are only the size of a pea, so they are easily confused."

"V-very good, thank you."

While Professor Qiluo was symbolically picking people to answer questions,

Michael was flipping through Sean's Defense Against the Dark Arts notes on the side.

"Classification of Dark Magical Creatures—Regional Index, Alphabetical Index... corresponding Defense Against the Dark Arts spells, and counter-curse series..."

He seemed to be holding a secret manual,

"Sean, how did you come up with this?!"

He compared it with "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection" while opening Sean's light blue notebook,

realizing that the spell section in it was even more detailed than the book,

"I guess you didn't just refer to the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook... My god! This is as amazing as that History of Magic book!"

Sean ignored him; his desk was scattered with books like "Basics of Defense Against the Dark Arts," "Defense Against the Dark Arts: Introduction to Basics," etc.

Since Professor Qiluo really had no teaching ability, Sean had to figure it out himself, but soon, he cleared up the framework of Dark Magic.

In fact, he had a question in his previous life,

Dark Magic, Charms, they all involve using incantations and waving wands,

so why are they distinguished so clearly?

Later, he summarized many books before getting the answer.

Charms and Dark Magic are completely different, and Dark Magic is divided into three categories, namely:

Jinx, Hex, and Curse.

Jinx: The least negative, annoying but fun. Such as the Knockback Jinx, the Firework Jinx, and the Disarming Charm;

Hex: Moderately negative, causing a certain degree of pain or injury. Such as the Bat-Bogey Hex, the Knee-Reversal Hex, and the Toenail-Growth Hex;

Curse: The most negative, causing intense or even irreversible pain or injury. Such as the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Killing Curse.
