The entire European wizarding world has been a little impetuous due to various events in the recent past, and time has passed little by little, even the most sluggish people have reacted.
The Wizards' United Guard, which could be called "unrealistic" in the eyes of most people, is really about to be established.
Many long-established wizards have stood up to cheer for this emerging organization, and some folk wizard organizations have also expressed their expectations for it in various ways, and their voices are getting louder and louder.
Gradually, official personnel began to appear on the pages of newspapers.
The leader of the French Ministry of Magic's Broom Management and Control Bureau, Solidette Parkes, publicly stated that the establishment of the Wizards' United Guard will be of great benefit to the future development of the entire wizarding world.
Matthew Peck, the new head of the British Ministry of Magic's Committee on the Handling of Dangerous Animals, also expressed his expectations for this emerging organization in an interview.
For an upcoming international organization, the International Federation of Wizards has expressed an ambiguous attitude.
The functions of the International Confederation of Wizards are similar to those of the United Nations, but it has only political discourse power and no subordinate forces. It is above the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and its main task is to hold accountable institutions of various countries that do not perfectly implement the Secrecy Act.
Interestingly, the way the International Confederation of Wizards holds the Ministry of Magic in various countries is the so-called "disciplinary warning". After the warning is over... then it will be fine...
As for the Wizards United Guard, a member of the federation has revealed to reporters privately that members of the association seem to be promoting the establishment of this new organization.
The reason is very simple. They want to take this emerging force into their own hands and let the International Federation of Wizards have the proper law enforcement power.
Under the turbulent flow of all walks of life, Sean is getting rid of distracting thoughts and devoting himself to intense study.
He had completed the task Grindelwald had given him at the beginning of the academic exchange: all the spells on the parchment had been learned.
At this time, the exchange students of Hogwarts have been in Nurmengard for nearly four months. In this short period of time, the students have adapted to the relatively high-pressure learning environment of Nurmengard.
The most intuitive thing is that almost every student's actual combat ability has been greatly improved.
Naturally, Sean didn't need to say much. In the last duel training class, he couldn't find any opponents.
The duel training with the same grade was completely crushing, and there was no training effect, and the seniors were worried about losing face-before that, Sean's record was too dazzling.
From the first grade to the seventh grade, from Hogwarts to Nurmengard, Sean challenged him almost every time. His tricky spells and devious plans made his opponent suffer.
In the case of Sean deliberately not using silent and magical animals, many seventh and sixth grade students won the victory, but after the end, they are often disgraced, and the annoying boy on the opposite side finds something wrong. Surrender immediately, and as a senior, what's the point of being proud of winning a sophomore?
The most speechless thing is that as long as you beat that Wallup kid, he will definitely come to you again in the next class.
"Senior, I benefited a lot from the last duel, please forgive me for being overly self-sufficient - how about we do it again?"
This second-year student always had a very polite appearance, but once he got to the duel stage, various insidious operations emerged one after another.
What's even more irritating and frustrating is that the opponent's progress is too fast... A magic spell that was better than the opponent's is not easy to use the second time, and it may even be stolen and used on one's own body.
And even if you win the second time in disgrace, the kid who surrendered immediately and protected himself extremely well will prepare for the third challenge...
Under such circumstances, Sean became the **** of plague in the eyes of senior students...
It's a pity that Sean can only sigh regretfully when "no one cares", and then go to sparring with the members of Golden Dawn.
In this way, he also slowly mastered the spells Grindelwald gave him in actual combat, and the other party fulfilled his original promise very readily.
Powerful Transfiguration exclusive to Gellert Grindelwald.
"What grade did Hogwarts teach human transformation?" Grindelwald asked in the office.
He was wearing a brown-red wizard's robe today, he didn't bring any teaching materials, he just smiled and looked at Sean on the opposite side.
Sean tilted his head and recalled: "I remember it was the sixth grade, when I had to pass the general wizard rank test, and Professor McGonagall only accepted students with grades E and O."
Grindelwald nodded thoughtfully: "Professor McGonagall is really forgiving..."
In Nurmengard, only with an O rating can you continue your transfiguration studies.
"Have you learned that step by yourself?" Grindelwald continued.
Shawn shook his head and replied: "No, Professor McGonagall said that this is very dangerous content, and the Ministry of Magic has regulations that you must pass the general wizard rank exam before you can continue to the next step, and I am not very proficient in mastering the Vanishing Spell. ."
Grindelwald waved his hand indifferently: "Don't pay attention to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, and, in the second year, you have mastered the content of the fifth year - the way you talk is as annoying as Albus."
After speaking, he imitated Dumbledore's tone and shook his head solemnly: "Gellert, Transfiguration is so difficult - and after saying this, he showed his Transfiguration in front of me, and put the full The gravel of the earth turned into a giant with Advanced Combination Transfiguration, and he was just graduating—"
Sean, who was listening to the other party's words, also smiled along with him.
"Okay, let's get back to the point," Grindelwald, who was joking, changed his sitting position, "How much do you know about human deformation?"
Sean thought for a while before answering slowly: "Not much, I read it all from senior textbooks, and this kind of deformation is rarely mentioned in textbooks. I heard senior students say that the deformation of the human body they study Most of them turn one of their bodies into inanimate objects, such as shields. But few people use them in actual combat. After all, when the shield is hit hard, when you change back, the corresponding body will also be injured. Some students think it's not very practical."
Grindelwald said noncommittally: "Human transformation should be used for adaptability. For example, if you are too late to avoid a spell, if you can't even cast a defensive spell, human transformation is a method that can greatly reduce your damage. method. Of course, I'm just telling you about the usage scenarios of this deformation method. Generally speaking, those who need to use this kind of trick are my opponents."
After that, he took out the iconic branch wand and waved it, and then one of his hands became smooth and white, exactly like Sean's.
"Actually, my transfiguration is also born out of human transformation—" He put the deformed hand next to Sean, "Since the development of wizards for so many years, human transformation is the highest category of accidents, many monsters and magical animals. All stem from the failure of deformation, which makes many people stay away from human deformation and dare not study in depth.”
"And it's true that the zealots who study human deformation throughout history have left little useful data other than the mess they left behind."
Sean glanced at the other's arm and asked curiously, "Sir, how did you avoid this risk?"
Grindelwald pointed to his head: "Do you think that I have summed up the experience of previous people's failures and come up with a set of safe practice methods and a new method of deformation?"
"Uh, isn't it?" Sean was a little puzzled.
Grindelwald leaned back on his chair and laughed loudly: "Sean, if Dumbledore stood in front of you and humbly told you that he has achieved what he is today, it was all due to the exploration of those who came before, would you believe it? "
"It's definitely not just the experience of the predecessors." Sean shook his head.
"Yes, the experience of the predecessors is valuable, but the wizards who can take a new step must have something in common," Grindelwald blinked, "They are all geniuses that come once in a century."
This is the truth... Sean nodded in agreement with the other party's statement.
Grindelwald waved his wand at will, his hand constantly changing, slender, stout, emaciated, switching smoothly without hindrance.
"Like me, my talent is destined to stand at the top of the wizarding field," Grindelwald said with a serious face, "the talent is innate, when others are struggling with how to cast a spell accurately and quickly, I've already begun to explore ways to improve this spell, and I have a cheating plan~"
Cheat scheme? Sean looked over suspiciously.
Grindelwald smiled at him: "I am a prophet, my Mr. Wallup."
Ah? Can a prophet do this? Sean's eyes widened in surprise.
"The Prophet does have limitations, and the future you see is vague and hard to read without paying a huge price, but - some things can be understood just by looking at them."
"For example, I will conduct an extremely dangerous human transformation experiment today, then I will take a look back, no need for specific pictures, if there is killing and disorder in my vision, it will prove that my thinking this time is wrong. Yes, I will become a monster."
Sean opened his mouth slightly, and he finally reacted.
Can a prophet do this? In his impression, what the prophets predicted were generally the major events that would happen in the future, or the direction of the entire era. In short, they were very tall and mysterious. It sounds weird to use it to predict the success or failure of one's own magic experiments, but it seems to make sense...
Grindelwald didn't have that kind of high-level demeanor at all, he smiled proudly: "This kind of ability, the owner will always use it carefully, in my opinion, it's a joke. Prophet and Disguise Magus or other Is there any essential difference between talents? Just treat them as the most basic tools of wizards. What's more, my talents are good enough, I just need to get rid of some wrong answers in the early stage, and I can make a solid progress in the classification of human body deformation. The first step, the road after that is much easier.”
Don't care about the rules, never stick to the same place, this is Grindelwald... Sean sighed secretly.
Grindelwald stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, just tell you the truth about how talented I am. When I die, when you mention Gellert Grindelwald to others, you must remember to use it. Say it all in a adoring tone."
It's the same recipe, it's the same taste... Sean smiled and nodded: "I will, sir."
Grindelwald stood up satisfied, he waved and summoned a mirror: "Now, it's time to start the real teaching, Sean, come and stand."
Sean walked over and stood in front of the huge full-length mirror. The mirror was so huge that it included the faces of both of them.
"Look at me," said Grindelwald in the mirror, with his hands behind his back and his body standing upright, "what did you see?"
Sean looked into the mirror. Inside, he was standing with Grindelwald. The other person was a head taller than him. His silver hair and short beard lined his extremely masculine face. Even the years did not deprive him of it. Take the other party's contempt for everything.
"Sir, I saw... You look very relaxed, and your overall appearance is very attractive. You must be handsome at your age, right?"
"Do you need to be flattering? It's not inevitable? Stop talking nonsense and keep talking."
"Well...you have a beard on the side of your cheek that you haven't shaved."
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows: "Have you never been beaten by the original Dark Lord?"
"Sorry……"
With a sloppy remark, Sean observed it seriously, and then described his entire body in great detail according to Grindelwald's request.
"It's almost there Observe carefully," Grindelwald said. "To let you observe is to let you understand that my Transfiguration and Disguise Magus are not the same concept."
"Why do you say that?" Sean wondered.
He originally thought that the Transfiguration that Grindelwald could freely transform into others was similar to Disguise Magus, but he learned and strengthened this innate ability with his acquired efforts.
Grindelwald explained: "Transfiguration magus comes from the bloodline, this ability allows you to freely change the shape of your face, but this ability does not use transfiguration, but the special magic in the bloodline, they do not You need to learn, and you only need years to master your own abilities. My Transfiguration originated from the transformation of the human body, which is essentially a branch of Transfiguration, and it is transformation magic rather than bloodline magic that changes the appearance.”
After Sean digested it for a while, he continued: "I want you to observe that I want you to understand that my Transfiguration must first regard the deformed object as a whole, and no one aspect can be ignored when deforming, otherwise the deformation will fail. inevitable."
"Let's do the most basic training first," said Grindelwald, waving his wand, turning into a wizard Shaun had never seen before, "give you a minute, look closely and tell me all about this man. Physical characteristics."
