Chapter 29: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 14

Sean looked carefully at the vines of varying thickness, on which were fat pink pods,

inside were shiny beans.

Sean had seen this magical plant in a book, and it is said that these beans will bloom immediately upon contact with solid objects.

"These Bubotubers will mature soon, and when that time comes, these planting racks will be filled with Jumping Bulbs..."

Professor Sprout explained enthusiastically to Sean,

and light flickered in Sean's emerald eyes.

Perhaps the light in the greenhouse was a bit too bright, or perhaps the appearance of the little wizard observing carefully was indeed easy to make people feel good.

Professor Sprout's pace became even lighter.

Really good... new sprouts always bring new hope.

This is what Professor Sprout most wants to see.

"Come here, child, let's handle these daisies."

Professor Sprout stopped in front of a wooden table, which was a wide, sturdy wooden table,

the middle of which seemed to be stained dark by plant juice and mud.

Sean walked up quickly and saw Professor Sprout take out several pots of daisies from under the wooden table.

If one had to say what was different between them and those small flowers only for viewing, it was that their roots were thicker.

And also, if you buy them in Diagon Alley, the price of 20 roots is one Galleon.

Terribly expensive.

"Don't be distracted, watch carefully, yellow daisies should be started from three inches below the petals..."

Professor Sprout cut the daisies skillfully, and milky white juice flowed out from the roots,

which the professor neatly collected with a glass bottle.

"Only at this time of year can daisies collect juice,

the cut cannot be too deep, otherwise it will affect the future growth of this cute little flower;

it cannot be too shallow, otherwise the collected juice will not reach the standard for making Shrinking Solution."

The professor explained in detail, then waved her wand, and a small knife and a glass bottle fell onto the wooden table in front of Sean.

"Try it, Mr. Green."

Sean nodded and picked up the tools.

"The angle is wrong, Mr. Green, tilt it a bit more..."

"Too light, Mr. Green, be bolder..."

"Oh, Mr. Green, don't cut! The position is wrong..."

Time passed quickly in Sean's mistakes.

Sean realized quickly that he didn't seem to have talent in Herbology either.

Just when he was frowning and thinking for the fifteenth time he failed,

gentle words came from beside him:

"Discovering that you have no talent, but still willing to pick up a hoe, is the beginning of Herbology."

Sean looked up, and Professor Sprout's face was as soft and deep as the warm sun.

So,

until Professor Sprout's large shadow became tilted, Sean gradually mastered the essence of handling daisies.

Strength, angle, and position are all very important, but if one is wrong, the panel proficiency will not increase.

【You handled a daisy completely to the standard of an apprentice, proficiency +1】

The panel's prompt was like the sound of nature. After mastering the correct method, Sean's motivation was terribly sufficient.

【You handled a daisy completely to the standard of an apprentice, proficiency +1】

【You handled a daisy completely to the standard of an entry level, proficiency +3】

The sun tilted, a full thirty pots of daisies were neatly stacked, Sean wiped the sweat from his hair,

his eyes as bright as the Herbology professor beside him.

"Well done, Mr. Green,"

Professor Sprout clapped gently, nothing could make her happier than witnessing a sprout growing strong,

"Go eat dinner quickly, oh right, take this."

A piece of pineapple candied fruit was stuffed into Sean's arms, and at the same time, he heard the "clanging" bell, which meant dinner had started.

Hogwarts' dining time has always been fixed, and if you miss it, you can only go hungry.

Of course, some little wizards would ask friends to take some food in advance, but Sean clearly didn't make this preparation.

Going hungry at Hogwarts is too terrible.

Sean thought so, then quickly said goodbye to Professor Sprout and walked toward the Great Hall,

if his body were better, he would have run there.

"Next time we will handle some special materials."

Before Sean left, Professor Sprout said so,

Sean saw things like teeth piled up on the dark wooden table, he guessed perhaps these?

After the dazzling food in the Great Hall,

Jia Siting was being scolded by Hermione, because he didn't even notice that he also had Herbology class in the afternoon, and it was with Gryffindor,

so when Hermione saw him in Greenhouse One,

Miss Granger instantly exploded.

"Did you do it on purpose!"

"I was wrong..."

Sean was struggling with Hungarian beef stew and didn't notice Jia Siting's pleading gaze.

Soon, he checked today's harvest while drinking pumpkin juice.

【Herbology Cognition: Unlocked (59/90)】

By handling daisies, Sean harvested a full 33 proficiency.

【Apprentice-level Herbology Cognition can unlock the apprentice-level title of the Herbology field】

The activation of the title is just around the corner, as long as he makes good use of the remaining time, maybe he can activate the title today.

And that pile of things like teeth, Sean compared carefully and found that they should be venomous snake fangs.

Although he didn't know why Professor Sprout wanted to handle them,

but it just happened to meet Sean's needs.

One of the materials for brewing Boil-Cure Potion is venomous snake fangs.

As soon as the battle ended, Sean left the Great Hall,

leaving Jia Siting and Hermione a bit unresponsive.

"Sean!

Sigh, he walked so fast,

I still wanted to call him to go to the library together,

maybe he could solve our problem about the distinction of mature Dittany,

honestly, I have no idea how to write the Herbology paper."

Jia Siting was a bit frustrated, magic is harder than he imagined,

although Professor Sprout told them to do their best, as a Hufflepuff, who doesn't want to make the professor satisfied and praised.

"I don't think so,

but the Hogwarts library stores thousands of books, we will find the answer."

Hermione shook her head helplessly, but she was full of confidence. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
