Chapter 139

In Hogwarts, silent spells are content for the sixth year.

Defense Against the Dark Arts, Spell class, and Transfiguration class all require students to master silent spells; according to common sense, most adult wizards in the UK should also be able to use silent spells.

However, the courses for the sixth and seventh years all belong to electives; it is not excluded that some people didn't choose these three courses, which also led to the uneven strength of wizards' silent spells.

"So, you want to learn silent spells?"

In the afternoon, Professor Fuliwei stood in the classroom, looking at Xiang Xien with surprise and gratification.

"Yes, Professor."

Xiang Xien nodded.

"Then let me see your Levitation Spell—"

Professor Fuliwei pointed to the chair in the classroom; before his voice fell, he heard Xiang Xien's chanting, and immediately, the wooden chair floated up rapidly and spun a few times.

"Truly amazing progress!"

Professor Fuliwei couldn't help but clap and praise,

"Then, Mr. Green, let me hear, what are the benefits of silent spells? And what are the drawbacks?"

"The opponent doesn't know what magic you intend to cast, which gives you a momentary advantage."

Xiang Xien thought for two seconds and then added,

"Of course, if you lose the enhancement of accuracy and emotional fluctuation brought by 'shouting out,' the power of the spell will be weakened."

Xiang Xien's first answer was memorized verbatim from "Standard Book of Spells: Grade 6," and the next sentence was his personal thinking.

In the original work, the power of chanting the spell aloud is stronger than a silent spell.

In the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in the fifth book, Hemin was injured by the Death Eater Dolohov; it was clearly mentioned afterward: if he had chanted aloud at the time, the damage caused would have been more serious than it is now.

"Excellent answer!"

Professor Fuliwei was even more surprised, and in the surprise, there was a hint of joy,

"When a wizard is mature enough to ensure that he can accurately depict the intention of casting the spell in his mind when meditating, he can learn and use silent spells; clearly, Mr. Green, it is time for us to climb a higher step."

As the professor spoke, he waved his wand, and the chair immediately flew around the classroom; not just the chair, but even bottles, jars, and books flew up,

and even Professor Squirrel, who had just entered the room from the window, was not spared; it looked very fantastic.

"The trick to silent spells lies in extreme concentration; when wizards use spells, they will subconsciously chant them, which leads to the failure of silent spells; therefore, the user must have an exact spell in their heart... let's try it, Mr. Green."

Xiang Xien's quill was rustling on the side; the convenience of magic is here, he can think while taking notes.

Professor Fuliwei was clearly even more satisfied; even if Xiang Xien failed three times in a row, he was full of patience.

Xiang Xien was very distressed; a wizard accustomed to chanting spells feels very awkward in his mouth when trying silent spells.

He would have a strong, physiological urge to chant the word, so he must use strong willpower to suppress this urge, which results in tight lips or silent wriggling—this itself is also a distraction.

It's as unnatural as making you sneeze but trying hard to hold it back.

But in the end, under Professor Fuliwei's guidance, Xiang Xien became more and more accustomed, and not until he didn't make a sound did Professor Fuliwei say:

"Truly rapid progress! Let's take the next step—focus on both the spell and the emotion to use a silent spell!

Only strong concentration and willpower can call the spell in the brain without making a sound... this is very difficult..."

Emotion, firm willpower, and an exact spell?

Xiang Xien thought.

Then his wand waved—

【You practiced the Levitation Spell once with the Expert standard, proficiency +50】
