Chapter 23 Is this the legendary epiphany?

"I did it!"

Andy was also overjoyed, but then his face fell with annoyance—Andy could feel the boiling magic power in his body calming down at an extremely fast speed.

Andy tried to recall the memories he had forgotten, but found that he could no longer enter the same state as before.

After all, too much time has passed.

The first time Andy recalled the memory, he was able to feel a strong emotion, but if he recalled it again and again, the effect would obviously be much less.

Time is the best medicine in the world.

Andy hated that statement, but he had to admit it was true.

"How did you do that?" Hermione pressed.

"Do you remember the book you picked out for me?" Andy took the book "Modern Spell Theory" out of his pocket.

"Stop the curse immediately!"

Andy enlarged the shrunken book and handed it to Hermione. "Take a look at the first chapter of this book. It talks about the influence of emotions on magic."

Hermione opened the book and began to read it carefully.

The little witch ruffled her hair in frustration. She really shouldn't have doubted the book. There were things she didn't know simply because she hadn't read it yet.

While Hermione was reading, Andy waved his wand again.

"They'll all be petrified!"

Andy felt that he had become much more proficient in using the petrification spell, and the spell's power seemed to have increased as well.

But that's it.

Because Andy can no longer go back to the way he was before.

Moreover, Andy vaguely sensed that the emotion he had used before was wrong.

Black magic is considered evil because using it requires a certain negative emotion.

Once black magic is successfully cast, it will affect the caster's mind, thus exacerbating the caster's negative emotions.

Over time, the wizard's mind will gradually fall into darkness.

The emotion Andy used earlier was clearly a negative emotion.

Andy rubbed his temples, trying his best not to think about those things.

This topic is too profound; it's clearly beyond Andy's current grasp.

Andy decided to practice all the spells he knew before the magic within him had completely subsided.

—Of course, it's not about foolishly waving a magic wand.

When practicing spells, if you don't add your own understanding of the spell, then no matter how many times you practice, you can only become more proficient in using the magic, but you won't be able to increase the power of the spell.

This also highlights the importance of magical theory.

"call--"

An hour later, Andy stopped and habitually opened the system to take a look.

Potential Point: 1

Not only that, the red liquid inside the sphere has also increased by more than half.

This clearly demonstrates how efficient today's practice was!

After Andy added some points last time, the red liquid inside the sphere was only about one-third full.

Today's practice not only caused the red liquid to fill up once, but it also increased by another half.

If it were normal practice, Andy would need at least half a month of hard training to increase his potential points even slightly.

Is this the legendary epiphany?

He attained enlightenment in a single day and ascended to immortality.

Although it wasn't quite that dramatic, the emotional appeal this time was clearly successful.

Moreover, the increase in potential points also indicates that Andy's research direction is correct.

Only by effectively increasing its strength will the red liquid inside the sphere rise.

After shutting down the system, Andy turned to look at Hermione.

"Why are you still reading?" Andy was so engrossed in his practice that he almost forgot Hermione's presence.

Thankfully, I didn't yell, "System, add points!"

"Hmm...this book..."

Hermione's expression turned serious, and she said in a critical tone, "This book is too mystical. If you hadn't actually succeeded, I would find it hard to believe that what it says is true."

This is true.

Andy had met the Lovegood family a few times; they were all a bit eccentric.

"That's what magic is like."

Andy said, "You can't think about magic with rational thinking—although rational thinking does work a lot of the time. But in very few, and even many, important moments, emotion plays a more significant role."

"Especially in the magical world!"

"Ah—" Hermione closed the book and stretched her arms.

Andy glanced at it.

Okay! Actually, there's nothing much to see. An eleven-year-old girl doesn't have anything to show for herself yet.

"Have you finished practicing?" Hermione asked.

"Let's take a break."

Andy nodded. "Perfect, I can practice with you now."

Time flies.

Andy and Hermione practiced in the abandoned classroom until after 6 p.m. before leaving together to go to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Hey! Andy." As soon as Andy entered the auditorium, his roommate Michael Corner waved mysteriously at him.

Andy walked over, looking confused. "What's wrong?"

With all three roommates present, Anthony asked mysteriously, "Andy, tell me honestly, did you go on a date this afternoon?"

"We didn't see you in the library either," Michael said.

Andy: "..."

Andy was speechless. What on earth were these little wizards thinking?

Okay! Thinking back to those elementary school students in my past life who were in love, eleven years old seems mature enough.

The law may not allow it, but it's not that bad yet.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Andy honestly admitted.

Given the choice between "practicing magic for an afternoon" and "going on a date," Andy decided to choose the latter.

Because it would make Andy look more prestigious.

Moreover, Hogwarts is a great place for rumors to circulate; for thousands of years, countless strange and wonderful rumors have been spread about this school.

Some of the rumors have even become campus legends.

As rumors spread, if the person involved doesn't want to explain, they may gradually accept it in their heart.

Andy decided to play a little trick.

Terry Boots looked at him with admiration. "Amazing."

Anthony, beaming with enthusiasm, said, "Andy, teach us!"

"This kind of thing..."

Andy looked at her with disdain, then turned to Hermione, who was talking to her roommate, and said, "Hermione, how about we go to the library after dinner?"

"Sure!" Hermione agreed without hesitation.

Andy gestured with his chin towards his three roommates, "Did you learn something?"

The three of them shook their heads.

"You have to take the initiative in these kinds of things, and be bolder."

Andy, speaking with the air of someone who'd been there all along, said, "In these kinds of relationships between men and women, you have to be the first to speak up. Once you do, you'll have a chance."

Terry looked troubled. "But what if we get rejected?"

Michael and Anthony nodded in agreement.

Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.

"Rejected?"

Andy looked at the three of them as if they were maggots. "What's so shameful about that? If it doesn't work the first time, try again!"
