Chapter 84 Andy: I ​​can also explode

Time passed in a flash, and in a flash, it was already March.

Everything is reviving, and spring flowers are blooming.

The weather gradually turned warm, and many little witches couldn't wait to take off their woollen coats. As a result of a sudden temperature change, many people in the castle suffered from colds, and the school hospital wing instantly became the busiest place in Hogwarts.

But a cold has its benefits.

As long as one suffers from a cold, one can skip classes openly.

Andy had seen some of the young wizards specialize in going to the side of those who were sick - after all, there was an epidemic of colds, and you were outdated if you didn't have a cold.

Aside from the flu, there was another thing that had been giving Andy a major headache lately.

Hermione seemed to be suffering from severe pre-test anxiety.

With more than three months to go before the final exams, Hermione had embarked on a vast revision schedule.

In addition to memorizing all the textbooks, she also spent her days reading a lot of extracurricular books and practising the spells she had been taught at school over and over again, and she had six notebooks full of revision notes alone.

Not only that, she also tried to drag Andy along with her to review.

Only to be rejected by Andy.

Revision was certainly necessary, but never for the sake of exams.

Perhaps because of crossing over, or perhaps because of living in a foreign land (world), Andy did not have much of a sense of collective honour here.

Whether it was the exam results or the House Cup, Andy didn't attach much importance to them.

Compared to these, what Andy valued more was the magic itself.

The fifth floor of the castle, abandoned classroom.

Andy took back his wand and opened the system interface.

After nearly a year of hard work, both the [Charms] and [Transfiguration] talents had reached [5] points.

Nowadays, even without counting the learning ability, comprehension and self-control that belonged uniquely to adults, Andy's talent was one of the best at Hogwarts.

This resulted in Andy's learning progress being extremely fast.

Now Andy had not only finished the second year's curriculum on his own, he had also read a large number of extracurricular books in the library and mastered a lot of trivial utility magic.

The strength had increased drastically.

These days, Andy's main focus is on learning Occlumency.

For ninety percent of the wizards in the magical world, Occlumency is a difficult and impractical magic.

For the remaining ten percent of wizards, Occlumency is one of the magic spells that they must learn.

Occlumency is a magical technique that seals off the brain from outside mental penetration to counter magical intrusions and influences.

It is also the nemesis of Legilimency.

In short, as long as you have a desire to make trouble in the magical world, you must master Occlumency.

Andy was learning it fairly well, he just wasn't proficient at it.

A highly proficient Occlumency requires someone to practice it in cooperation with the help of using Legilimency. Andy couldn't let someone else probe his own memories, so practising was naturally out of the question.

However, to deal with the eye-to-eye Legilimency, this level was already sufficient.

[Potential Points: 4]

The last time he added points was still in the first half of January, now that two months had passed, Andy had finally saved up four potential points.

Andy turned his gaze to the data on the right side of the system.

[Magic: 2]

[Soul: 4]

[Mind: 3]

[Thinking: 3]

[Will: 2]

This stat was actually not bad.

Magic power would naturally increase according to age, and soul, mind, and thinking were all within the realm of normal people.

Only Will - 2 attribute points were almost like cursing.

Andy actually realized that his will was a bit poor.   

'Will' here did not only refer to self-control but also the courage to take risks, as well as the willpower to resist temptation and many other factors.

Andy was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and naturally, he was a bit weak when it came to will.

However, today's star was not the [Will] attribute.

Andy placed his eyes on the [Mind] attribute, took a deep breath, and raised the [Mind] attribute from [3] to [4] points.

The moment the change appeared in the system panel, Andy felt a warm current seemingly gushing out from the depths of his heart, and soon flowed to all the limbs and bones of his body.

The whole body was warm and seemed to be filled with strength.

The enhancement of the [Mind] attribute was completely different from the talent enhancement on the left side of the system.

Andy still remembered the feeling of raising the [Charms] talent, it was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

But raising [Mind] was different.

It was a feeling of 'nothing seems to have changed, but you somehow feel strong'.

Andy remembered reading some news in his previous life.

For example, a mother, to save her child who would be crushed underneath a car, suddenly burst out with great strength and lifted the car up with her bare hands.

From a scientific point of view, this was called an adrenaline rush.

But if you look at it from the perspective of magic, it's the power of the mind.

The magic in this world was inherently mind-oriented.

After this addition, Andy couldn't say which part of himself had got stronger, but it just felt like he was a lot stronger.

If he used the words of his previous life, Andy's current state was probably that his spirit was more energized and his entire being had changed from the inside out.

"..."

Andy suddenly thought that Harry Potter might be a typical example of having a strong mind.

Andy had been Harry's classmate for about a year and believed that he knew Harry's magic talent fairly well.

Among his classmates, Harry's talent could be ranked in the top five, much better than the likes of Malfoy.

However, if compared to the upper echelons, Harry's talent was not so outstanding.

This was obviously not in line with his identity as the protagonist.

Through this period of contact, Andy realized that Harry was a person who was susceptible to emotions.

From the point of view of dealing with people, being emotional was a big disadvantage.

But if you look at it from the perspective of magic, being emotional is instead an extremely rare advantage.

Harry is brave, has a heart of justice, and is sincere to others and their relationships.

And it is this sincerity that gives Harry his great mental strength, as well as a wealth of inner emotions.

This kind of emotion could make Harry easily generate some kind of extreme emotion, thus drastically increasing the power of the magic spell.

Andy thought, 'Harry Potter is a children's book that promotes love and friendship. From this aspect, Harry's attributes do fit that of the protagonist.'

Andy probably understood the role of the [Mind] attribute.

The enhancement of the [Mind] attribute greatly increased Andy's mind strength and emotional strength, which was intangible and invisible, yet real.

In other words, when Andy used that magic spell with a corresponding emotion, he could enhance the power of the spell to a certain extent.

For example:

The Killing Curse, which corresponds to the Killing Intent.

The Explosive Curse corresponds to Destructive Desire.

Happy Emotion corresponds to the Patronus Charm.

The power of the mind corresponded to the power of emotions, and the enhancement of the mind was equal to the sublimation of emotions.

This kind of increase made Andy extremely satisfied.

Although the power of emotions needed to be utilized when casting spells, this increase was enough to become Andy's killer weapon at this stage.
