Chapter 471 The first step in learning combat magic
Of course Grindelwald knew the meaning hidden in Elena's answer.
The healing glyph "?" is the second glyph in the ancient rune magic script.
This is what he originally taught Elena in Nurmengarde Castle, but in addition to what he taught, this little hybrid Veela developed another way to use it to strengthen its own strength.
If Avada Kedavra is the most powerful killing spell at the soul level, then the rune "?" completed by Elena can definitely be regarded as the topmost magic in the physical realm.
But from Grindelwald's current perspective, neither of these is considered the most powerful magic.
"I'm sorry...it's close, but not correct."
Grindelwald shrugged, looked at Elena and said meaningfully.
"In the future, you will gradually understand that power has many forms. Destruction is just the easiest to remember among them, but it is definitely not the most powerful one. This is something Voldemort still doesn't understand -"
"So, you don't want to say that the most powerful magic is love, right?"
Elena curled her lips, turned around subconsciously, and glanced at Dumbledore sitting at the back of the classroom with a strange expression.
If she remembered correctly, in the original book, Dumbledore was very keen on instilling similar concepts, and wanted to turn Harry and other young wizards into "soldiers of love" to fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
At this point, Grindelwald, who later died at the hands of Voldemort, happened to mock the same thing.
"Love? Of course not... What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?!"
The corner of Grindelwald's mouth twitched, and he shook his head quite speechlessly, directly revealing the answer to the mystery.
"Self-defense, or more popularly, survival - this is the most essential and most powerful source of magic for wizards."
After a slight pause for a few seconds, the old wizard looked around at most of the first-year students who were still confused, sighed helplessly, spread his hands and continued to explain.
"Everyone here can recall a little bit... I believe this shouldn't be particularly difficult for you. After all, you are far from the age where you start to become forgetful. Think about it carefully, each of you has shown magic for the first time.
Under what circumstances does the power exist?"
In this world, the wizard's emotions will largely affect the way magic is displayed.
The teaching goal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not to teach students how to improve their power, but to teach them how to reasonably restrain and guide the magic power in their bodies to accurately achieve the effects they want.
Therefore, before entering school, almost all young wizards have actually demonstrated certain magical abilities.
Most of them occur in emotional situations, such as anger, sadness, joy, frustration... These emotions may trigger magic riots, but generally speaking, there is only one emotion in which young wizards are most likely to lose control of their magic.
species - the oldest and strongest human emotion, fear.
Elena glanced at Grindelwald thoughtfully, she had almost guessed the theme of the old wizard's lesson.
However, in her original vision, the first generation of the Dark Lord seemed to be more offensive. It seemed that the years spent in Nurmengard Castle had left some changes on this old man.
"I think you all have remembered the first time you accidentally released magic, right?"
Grindelwald looked at the students in the classroom with a gentle expression and said with a smile.
"That's right! Protecting yourself is the innate instinct of all living things. In the following time, I will not teach you any powerful spells, but more to let you learn to use your own magic effectively.
protect yourself."
This statement seems somewhat familiar...
Elena frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy in her heart.
Although so far, Grindelwald's teaching content has not had much worthy of challenge, especially after completing the series of teaching projections of sound and light illusions, he actually returned to the "defense" stage again.
.
In addition to the fact that the teaching content is not closely related to the textbook, even Albus could not find fault in this series of logic - after all, Grindelwald himself is a top wizard who is proficient in defense.
, the "armor protection" he displayed was enough to withstand the siege of dozens of Aurors.
"But, Professor Apokalis, we haven't been able to master the Iron Armor Curse yet, have we?"
Elena raised her hand and looked at Grindelwald in confusion, "That is content that is only exposed to in the third grade Charms class. Isn't it too early for us to start learning directly now..."
"Oh, Miss Kaslana, I'm glad you can preview the upper grade knowledge in advance."
Grindelwald grinned and answered quickly without hesitation.
"But I don't remember saying anything before that I hope that you can master high-level magic abilities in advance. In fact, the Iron Armor Curse is just the most mature and easy-to-use among many defensive techniques, but it is definitely not the fastest.
kind."
"Before learning how to counterattack flexibly, I think we should start practicing from some more basic places."
Grindelwald knocked on the blackboard, and two simple spells appeared on the blackboard in front of the classroom.
"Impact and protection, these are the two most basic ways to use magic. You don't need any complicated spells. You just need to find a way to make your mana flow, or to stimulate it forward, or to block it in front of you."
"Next, we will play a game to help you understand and become familiar with these two forms."
Grindelwald took out his wand, his eyes flashing with bright colors, and he clicked it casually in the air.
As the wand passed across, a bright magical light spot appeared on each little wizard's body, but half of them had blue light and shadow, and the other half had red light and shadow.
At the same time, a faint square light curtain appeared in the center of the classroom.
"Depending on the color, some people will enter the light curtain, while others will release magic spells outside - don't worry, no matter what magic spell you release, it will automatically turn into the most basic magic impact when passing through the light curtain."
"The magic light spot on the person who was hit will automatically extinguish. After one party's army is wiped out, the other party enters the light curtain."
"A friendly reminder, the impact of the spell will be slightly stronger when passing through the light curtain... try not to get hit. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get hit, your body will remember this feeling, and you will be better next time
It doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”
"In the end, the winner will be determined based on how long both sides persist. The loser needs to submit a paper on protective magic before the next class, with a length of no less than two feet."
Sure enough! Waiting here!
If you want to learn how to fight with magic, the first step is to learn to take a beating? It’s really a familiar devil style...
But...it's really nothing new, it's just a magic version of dodgeball.
Elena lowered her head and glanced at the bright red spots on her body, and curled her lips rather speechlessly.
According to this grouping, whichever side she is on does not mean which side she represents...
"By the way, Professor Albus Dumbledore, as a special student, you also need to participate in this teaching process - as for grouping, let me see, the blue one will be fine."
