A full five hours later, at twelve o'clock that night, Sean left Grindelwald's office with drooping eyelids.

Grindelwald followed, and then stopped behind the door, he smiled and looked at Sean with his dull eyes, his tone was relaxed and comfortable: "I think about it, judging from your performance today, this kind of study is probably It only needs to last a week - if you can keep up with that, of course."

Sean's mouth twitched.

Before coming here, he also thought about what kind of teaching methods Grindelwald might use, but it turned out that he was still too naive...

Even in the most humble and prudent description, no one will deny Sean's talent and learning ability, and under the mutual encouragement with Hermione, Sean's subjective initiative is excellent enough.

He also considers himself a studious person.

But Sean only understood after half an hour that the high-pressure learning environment of Nurmengard is completely a weakened and improved version of Grindelwald's own teaching method...

Uninterrupted spurs, every minute and every second he will give you a lot of information, and then he will set goals for each time period based on your performance.

"Sean, give you a minute to describe all the physical features of this person in detail."

"Sean, give you three minutes, how does the Transfiguration I showed just now work?"

"Sean, give you ten minutes, remember the spell casting posture of this spell, and there must be no deviation."

And so on, he would constantly set goals for Sean - if Sean did well, then he would make the study harder and further compress the study time.

If Sean doesn't live up to his demands, Grindelwald's original curse will fall on Sean.

It is a kind of magic that explodes your scalp but doesn't make people very painful. You will only feel that your drowsy head is suddenly awake, and that kind of not completely excruciating but very unpleasant pain is all over your body.

Then, Mr. Gellert Grindelwald, who is "kind", "friendly" and "gentle" (these words Grindelwald forced Sean to say), will cast another healing magic that will turn the negative effects of the curse. The effect is completely erased.

Yes, completely different from Dumbledore, every action Grindelwald did, every word he said was to squeeze Sean's learning potential.

Studying is very painful, both physically and mentally, and the pressure is great, but the effect is obvious - in just five hours, Sean has already begun to master it.

According to Grindelwald, Sean needs to learn how to quickly construct human features, because it is impossible for you to copy the deformed object for a long time before each deformation.

The exhausted Sean nodded absentmindedly: "I'll try my best, sir."

Grindelwald showed a dissatisfied expression, he waved his branch wand, and Sean's familiar curse fell on him again.

"His——" Sean sucked in a breath of cold air, and suddenly came to his senses.

Grindelwald put his hands behind his back, and he raised his head in disdain: "Do your best? That's your duty. Dear Mr. Wallup, haven't you understood for five hours today? Here with me? —You need to play hard."

Can't see the light of the curse, or even feel the magic power running, Sean still doesn't know how to resist Grindelwald's curse, he has no choice but to nod: "Yes, sir, I will do my best."

Sean is not perfunctory. He will never let go of such a precious learning opportunity. He will try his best to absorb nutrients from the most talented wizard in the world. Of course, there is nothing wrong with relaxing after learning.

Grindelwald continued: "Sean, it's the age of blood and ignorance, why don't you show a little fanaticism?"

"But, the study is over, sir..."

"You have to let your teacher see your enthusiasm. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

What kind of identity do you, a hundred-year-old great wizard, look for from a second-year student like me... Sean secretly complained, but in the end he raised his fist feebly.

"I will work hard! I will work hard! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Very good, very spirited." Grindelwald nodded in satisfaction, then slammed the door to the office.

"Go back to sleep, by the way, tomorrow is the same time and place, the punishment is doubled - have a good dream, good night child."

Grindelwald's indifferent voice came from behind the wooden door, and Sean froze in place in the empty corridor.

Plus... double? !

Poisonous, old man!

Sean staggered toward the lounge, then gritted his teeth.

See if I don't teach you all your unique skills!

...

A week later, on the tallest tower in Nurmengard, the entrance door to the terrace was open, and two people, one old and one small, were standing outside.

The nights in Austria are still cold, but tonight there is no wind and the stars are bright.

Grindelwald waved lightly with one hand, and suddenly there was a gust of wind.

"Let me think," he began, "oh, what's that stupid professor at your school called?"

Sean, who was in the wind, couldn't open his eyes. He didn't answer the question but raised his wand. After a low incantation, his body became blurred and illusory, and then he quickly twisted. stand up.

Sean's height was full, his hair began to grow long and curly, and his hair color became pale gold. The original low-key and elegant Ravenclaw uniform became a gorgeous forget-me-not robe.

Moments later, a living Gilderoy Lockhart stood in the wind.

The gale gradually dissipated, and Lockhart gave Grindelwald a flawless classic smile.

"Mr. Grindelwald, please allow me to make a little reliable opinion on Nurmengard's tutorial, haha, it comes from several of my books, if you like I can send you a set, a full set of signed limited editions —Ah, by the way, sir, I wonder if you are interested in my full line of hair products?"

Grindelwald circled him with his arms around his chest, and then said slowly: "The details of the appearance are fine, but Sean, that stupid professor of yours wouldn't dare to speak to me like that."

'Lockhart' shrugged his shoulders, showing a youthful expression: "But Professor Lockhart has this virtue in front of others, including Professor Dumbledore."

"I said why he looked so annoying, okay, let's talk about feelings." Grindelwald waved.

Lockhart twisted and changed back to Sean's appearance.

"Feeling good, nothing strenuous," he said after thinking.

Tonight is the night of the assessment that Grindelwald gave him. To be able to deform smoothly under various circumstances is the goal that Sean needs to accomplish. In the noisy situation, Sean's transformation did not encounter obstacles.

Grindelwald nodded thoughtfully, and then said slowly: "The first is speed, you are still not fast enough to mobilize magic power, and a lot of time is wasted for a few meaningless magic power operations; second, eyes, I have to say, In addition to imitating Riddle's perverts, your eyes are Sean, so you can't hide those wicked-eyed Aurors; in the end, you know too much about shapeshifting objects, such as the stupid professor you just turned into , he is used to making various gestures when speaking, you remember this, but at the end of the gesture, you never showed the orchid finger on his right hand, and he was used to raising his head and raising his voice when he spoke, your voice just now was too low already."

Grindelwald kept pointing out his inadequacies as he tapped Sean on the head with his stick wand.

Sean completely ignored the mallet above his head and memorized all the words of the other party.

"...What time do you remember?"

"Yes, sir." Sean nodded earnestly, and then asked suspiciously, "What else, sir?"

In the previous study, Grindelwald was always able to pick out dozens of loopholes in the summary part, most of which were important details that Sean didn't notice. Today's summary is a bit short.

Grindelwald stood in front of him, staring blankly at Sean.

The appearance of the other party made Sean nervous too, and the night wind seemed to be gradually attacking.

In this space where the atmosphere became more and more frozen, Grindelwald spoke slowly, his voice emotionless, indifferent and cold.

"Sean - Wallup -, you know, what did you just do?"

The terrifying power he had seen once gradually radiated from the old man. Looking at Grindelwald who was getting colder in front of him, Sean swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

Grindelwald took a step forward slowly and brought his face closer together: "Because Albus's achievements in transfiguration are far beyond me, so I spent my energy starting from human transformation and created a My Transfiguration, and you, Sean Wallup—"

He paused.

"What do you think you've done this week?"

Sean was stunned for a moment. He suddenly saw a smile on Grindelwald's face.

In an instant, the terrifying power dissipated, and Grindelwald laughed and stretched out his hands: "Very good! You are doing very well! My child!"

Interesting? This old man... Sean let out a sigh of relief, and then for some reason, he couldn't help but laugh along.

"Hahaha--"

Two pleasant laughter in different tones reached the mountains of Austria.

Grindelwald suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched it in the air, and Sean's laughter was blocked in his mouth.

It wasn't until Grindelwald laughed for a while and patted Sean on the shoulder with satisfaction that the spell was released.

He ignored Sean's resentful eyes and said comfortably: "I prefer to enjoy this pleasant moment alone, don't look at me with this kind of eyes, you have got a brand new Transfiguration, I have been happy, alone Same, that's fair."

Sean rolled his eyes: "Isn't it two joys to share?"

"I'm so selfish as hell, sharing shit."

The old and the young looked at each other, and then the corners of their mouths raised wantonly.

Grindelwald took the lead and walked into the room. He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Look, at least I'm better than Albus again."

Better than Dumbledore? Sean looked at each other curiously: "Why do you say that, sir."

"It's not easy, think about it, if you want to master Albus' level of Transfiguration, you need to start at least five years, and it will depend on Albus's careful teaching. But you see, in the genius Grindel Under Wo's teaching, a profound, difficult and uncommon Transfiguration took only one week!"

He tidied his neckline proudly: "In terms of teaching, I am indeed stronger than him."

The two of them are almost three hundred years old together and still fighting for this, naive not naive... Sean slandered.

Grindelwald returned to the office in a good mood, and he leaned back on the chair casually: "That's all I can teach you, and then it's the question of proficiency and magic power, um, I haven't asked you yet. How long can it last?"

Sean didn't make it to the chair. He leaned on the desk and thought for a while, and said, "According to my feeling, there is no problem in lasting a whole day. Transfiguration will consume more than the spell, and it is necessary to maintain the spell. There is not much magic power, although your Transfiguration consumes a lot, it is still within the tolerance range."

Grindelwald nodded: "It's barely enough, um, I'll come to you in half a year, and the maintenance time will be doubled for me. I have solved all the problems I mentioned just now - if you don't do it, you will be at your own risk."

Sean shrugged: "It's a word."

Grindelwald did not hide the admiration in his eyes, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, then stood up again and walked to the shelf on the other side.

After rummaging around, he handed over a thick book and a key.

"There are some spells that the school can't teach. I don't have the heart to teach you these gadgets. Take them back and learn to play."

Sean licked his lips and took it over excitedly. The 'gadget' in Grindelwald's mouth is not a simple thing. It's such a thick book that some read it before graduation...

He looked again at the brass key hanging on the keychain It was only the size of a thumb, and it shimmered faintly.

Sean wondered, "Sir, is this?"

"A small toy borrowed from an alchemist in the past. This key has an unlocking spell solidified on it. It can open most door locks, and can also crack a lot of anti-spell and alarm spells. In some cases, it is quite useful. Yes, let's play with you."

"How embarrassing this is..." Sean quickly put away the things.

Grindelwald sat back casually and said easily: "What I gave you is for you... Oh, by the way, after you go back to Hogwarts, the vanishing cabinet will be used for you, come to me when you have time, or Those of your members will do—Golden Dawn, you've got mediocre names."

Sean scratched his head embarrassedly.

The two ended the exercise after a casual chat, and by the time Sean had breakfast the next day, his attention had shifted from the newly mastered magic to the report.

The Wizards United Guard is established! 》
