Chapter 141: Semi-Automatic Combat Puppet

Tom handed the finished wand to Professor Flitwick.

"Give it a try." He gestured for Professor Flitwick to test the wand's performance.

Professor Flitwick took the wand and casually waved it, causing a cluster of blooming flowers to appear at the wand's tip.

"It feels a bit stiff, but it can be used normally." Flitwick affirmed the effectiveness of the wand.

"Great," Tom nodded in satisfaction. He then retrieved an unsharpened one-handed knight sword from a box in the corner of the room. Although it was called a one-handed sword, including the hilt, it was almost one and a half meters long. This length was more than enough for an average person.

Tom installed the wand on the hilt of the one-handed sword and placed the sword in the puppet's hand.

"Very good, it's just right for training students in the use of the Shield Charm."

McGonagall and Flitwick: As long as you're happy.

The wand crafted by Lohart gave them a bit more confidence.

Next, Tom began inscribing runes on the puppet's body, combining solidified curses with the magic core, and finally carving corresponding triggering commands on the magic core.

The overall idea was not difficult, but the difficulty lay in the number of spells, resulting in a large workload. Tom spent an hour and only managed to complete two spells. During this time, Professors McGonagall and Flitwick sat on the side and watched.

After establishing the connection between the Disarmament Curse and the magic core, Tom heaved a sigh of relief: finally done! His talent and level in alchemy were still too low, and other alchemists could do it much faster. This speed was not only reflected in the carving speed but also in the efficiency of the rune groups.

To give an analogy, for a math problem like 101×99, Tom was directly calculating the result using the long multiplication method, while more skilled alchemists would factor it into (100+1)×(100-1) to quickly get the answer as 9999. The results might look the same, but other alchemists were faster.

McGonagall and Flitwick looked at each other: Gyro Lohart's experience while traveling the world is quite rich!

They observed as Lohart's carving knife and chisel worked swiftly. Soon, the walnut branch in his hand transformed into the appearance of a wand.

In this one hour, McGonagall and Flitwick's attitudes toward Tom underwent a significant change: they truly saw Professor Lohart working seriously. In the past, they thought Lohart had just discovered a new way to slack off. After all, setting exam questions was easy during elective classes! The questions he set were quite good, indicating that he must have run through the library.

The new spells he taught were refreshing, but this only happened once, making it difficult for them to be completely convinced—what if he got the idea from someone else, like a fan? Although the spells were truly cast, Lohart's Killing Curse probably only killed spiders, unable to deal with larger animals.

However, the one-hour focus tonight was undeniably real, making them feel that the student who bragged so much might have really learned a lot during his travels.

Some geniuses travel the world only to end up as someone else's incubator, but Professor Lohart truly learned things during his journey. McGonagall sighed in her heart and decided to use Professor Lohart as an example to encourage her students who wanted to travel around after graduation.

Look, traveling around doesn't always lead to weird incidents! Professor Quirrell is just an exception.

Tom looked at the two professors, showing a slightly apologetic smile. "I was too engrossed in carving and left you both waiting..."

Both of them waved their hands, saying it was no big deal.

Tom stood up and took the transformed chessboard from the wall cabinet. Of course, it had returned to its normal size.

"Both of you can try my improved Wizard's Chess." Saying that, Tom handed the box of chess pieces to Professor Flitwick. Copied spells would disappear after a while, leaving only the originals.

"Isn't this not very good," Professor McGonagall conjured a table, feeling a bit guilty: her colleague was busy working while she was playing a game on the side...

Wait, wasn't this part of his job?

The guilt disappeared a bit.

Tom waved his hand, thinking it was nothing serious.

Professor Flitwick played with the chess pieces for a while and suddenly asked, "Does your modified Wizard's Chess not require bishops?"

"I actually wanted to transform the bishops into wizards, but I haven't had the chance to do it yet."

"That's easy!" Flitwick blinked and, together with Professor McGonagall, modified the bishop chess pieces. These pieces could now remotely cast some spells, such as creating a small blizzard or a flame storm. They could also perform group healing and slow down opponents.

"It seems like we made the bishops too powerful." Professor McGonagall, realizing the issue only after the transformation, said.

"We can limit the usage! For example, they can only be used once per battle. Ultimately, we control these spells." Flitwick thought of a good way to balance it.

After that, the two began to experience this brand-new game. However, when allocating the chess pieces, Professor Flitwick picked up the king and queen chess pieces.

"Why do these two pieces look like Mr. Yodel and Miss Granger?" He was a bit puzzled; these two pieces looked too much like his two students.

"Miss Granger applied for the assistant professor position with me before. I happened to be modifying the Wizard's Chess at that time, so I set this question to test her. Unexpectedly, her mastery of Transfiguration is quite good." Tom casually came up with a very convincing explanation.

Flitwick nodded: so that's how it is. He carefully examined the transformed chess pieces, admiring, "Miss Granger's Transfiguration is excellent, and the details are very well done. Miller, take a look."

McGonagall took the two chess pieces and found that they were indeed lifelike.

"Miss Granger was called Little McGonagall by her classmates when she first entered the school!" Professor Flitwick added. But now, no one called her that anymore.

"When I first entered, I almost ended up in Ravenclaw. The Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time." McGonagall recalled her first day at Hogwarts.

After finishing the small talk, the two sorted out the chess pieces and began the game. This game indeed brought a completely new gaming experience. Flitwick and McGonagall seemed to be commanding a real battle, and they enjoyed it endlessly.

Meanwhile, Tom restarted the carving of runes on the side.

After an unknown amount of time, Tom had already established the connections for the Shield Charm, Barrier Charm, and Disguise Charm. McGonagall and Flitwick were still playing chess on the side.

"What time is it?" McGonagall suddenly looked up, gazing at the clock on the wall. After seeing the time, her pupils suddenly contracted.
