Good Brother and Good Sister

Chapter 9 Good Brother and Good Sister

Having gained a talent for spells, Andy was unwilling to waste this opportunity, so he picked up his wand and prepared to go to the basement to practice magic.

I went up the stairs to the living room on the first floor.

Little Isabelle was sprawled on the sofa, munching on snacks and reading a fairy tale book. She was completely relaxed and entertained herself.

What a monotonous childhood.

Luckily, I took my little girl to the river to catch fish yesterday, otherwise how bored she would be every day?

It's time to buy her a Muggle game console...

Hmm... never mind, being addicted to games isn't a good thing.

Andy, the good brother, walked over.

"Yugadim, Leviosa."

With a gentle wave of her wand, Isabel and the fairy tale book in her hand flew up.

This was a flying game that Muggle children had never experienced before, and Andy felt that the spell was full of a brother's love for his sister.

"Hmm..."

The little girl puffed out her cheeks.

This was the 103rd time this month. Isabel had never looked forward to having a wand so much, and then reciting all the spells she knew to Andy.

No, it's to recite it a thousand times.

If Andy had learned to use Legilimency, he would surely have felt very gratified at this moment.

The little girl has finally learned to work hard.

This is love expressed a thousand times.

"Where's Mommy?" Andy asked, raising an eyebrow as he put the little girl down.

"Look!" Isabel gestured with her chin toward the potions room.

"I'm going to practice my spells. Want to come and see?" Andy asked.

"No!" Isabel refused decisively.

Isabel was quite interested when Andy first practiced the spell. But even the most interesting thing will lose its appeal if repeated dozens of times.

After patting the little girl's head, Andy went into the basement alone.

The basement was originally a warehouse for storing items, but because Andy needed to practice magic, Kyle remodeled the basement, built a new room, and expanded it with a space-expanding charm.

Andy was once very curious as to why Kyle and Helen didn't practice magic.

The two answers they gave were very powerful.

They believed that magic didn't require practice.

They already possess enough magic to solve all the problems they encounter in life. Continuing to practice will make them a little stronger, but only a little bit.

This feels like Muggles working out.

Adults are strong enough to handle the trivial matters of life, so what's the point of continuing to exercise?

Dark wizards are dealt with by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and Voldemort is confronted by Dumbledore.

If all else fails, you can use the door key to live in other countries.

While spellcasting abilities have become more powerful, they neither extend lifespan nor add more Galleons to the vault. Therefore, mastering enough magic for daily life is sufficient.

Andy understood.

This is actually a matter of cognition.

Having grown up in the magical world and seen all sorts of magic, they naturally didn't find magic particularly amazing.

It's like how Andy thinks Muggle technology is outdated, while Mr. Weasley is obsessed with it.

Shaking his head, Andy was helpless about this situation; he just needed to do his own thing.

Entering the practice room, Andy pressed the switch to turn on the basement lights.

Don't assume that the wizarding world doesn't use Muggle technology. Apart from those wizards who live in seclusion, the use of some Muggle technological products is an open secret in the wizarding world.

The practice room was about 100 square meters. Kyle built several human-shaped targets there, and Helen also cast a spell to make some targets fly—these targets would move on their own whenever Andy attacked them.

In addition, Andy installed a large mirror in the practice room, which almost covered an entire wall.

The power of magic and its ability to hit the target are important, but these are long-term considerations. More important than these is having the coolest casting posture.

This mirror allows Andy to observe his spellcasting posture at any time, so he can adjust any unsightly casting actions in a timely manner.

"They'll all be petrified!"

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

"Flames are raging!"

"Restored to its original state!"

"..."

The sound of Andy practicing spells could be heard in the basement. In addition to basic spells, Transfiguration was also within Andy's practice scope.

There's a reason why Transfiguration is separated from basic spells. It's a very complex form of magic, and it's one of the foundations for wizards' understanding of how the world is structured.

For example, to transform a wooden stick into an iron stick, the wizard needs to understand the composition of both before he can begin the transformation.

That is why no wizard can turn an object into a magical creature.

Because they don't understand the principles of magic.

"Whoosh—"

Andy plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and opened the system to check his progress for the day.

In just one hour of practice, the red liquid inside the sphere had already increased to one-third.

Progress is encouraging!

The growth of the red liquid not only means that Andy can gain potential points, but it also means that Andy's practice today was effective.

If the exercise is ineffective, the red liquid will not change at all.

But this is only temporary.

The reason we're progressing so quickly today is mainly because Andy's magical talent has increased. Once that talent is developed to a certain level, the practice progress will naturally slow down.

Fortunately, the increase in talent allows Andy to learn new magic more quickly.

Taking a breath, Andy dusted himself off and stood up. After tidying up the practice room with a Healing Charm and a Cleansing Charm, Andy walked out of the basement.

In the living room, Helen and Isabel were playing Wizards cards on the sofa.

"Andy, school hasn't even started yet, and you're already working so hard. Once school starts, the professors won't know how to teach you."

Helen shifted her position slightly. "Come and rest for a bit!"

"I can go to the library to read books by myself," Andy said after sitting down.

My current efforts are, of course, so that I can spend more time in the library.

Hogwarts is a seven-year program, and no matter how you look at it, there never seems to be enough time.

"My son is amazing!"

Helen certainly wouldn't stop Andy from studying hard. She and Kyle were one thing, but she had high hopes for Andy.

"Tch!" Isabel scoffed.

She felt that she could never match Andy's level of effort, but she believed that she could surpass Andy when he got too old to walk.

She has the advantage in this aspect!

"School starts in three days, so don't overexert yourself these next couple of days," Helen advised.

"Yeah! I'm also planning to rest for a couple of days."

Andy said, "By the way, Mom, can I look at those magic books at home now? I mean, the ones about casting spells."
