Chapter 299: Andy: A Genius Like Me

There were still some subtle differences in the feeling between apparating by yourself and apparating with someone.

Speaking of which, it was necessary to mention the Side-Along Apparition.

In the magic world, underage children are required to learn Side-Along Apparition - a very simple magic trick. The main function was to allow those who couldn't Apparate to follow the Apparator and Apparate together.

That is the 'appear' part after the teleportation.

To bring someone along while you Apparate, the idea of 'I'm going there' has to be filled into the bodies of both people, then turn around and enter that 'shuttle space' tube together.

Originally Andy had thought that this 'tube' was a space passage, a gap between quanta in scientific terms.

However, the results of this spell-casting told Andy that this was clearly not the case.

The so-called 'feeling of entering the tube' when casting Apparition was actually made up by magic power. This time, bringing Isabel along with him in Apparition allowed Andy to clearly perceive this.

Letting the thought of 'I'm going there' fill the whole body was actually letting the magic power fill the whole body.

This magic power had been influenced by the power of mind, so when the magic power functioned, that was when the Apparition spell was successful.

Destination, Determination, and Deliberation, the 3D rules of Apparition.

The so-called determination and deliberation were designed to not let other thoughts affect the success of the spell casting.

'Travelling through space is just an illusion, the real term should be, quickly moving through physical space.' Andy thought mentally.

It was like a ray of light.

"No wonder it's 'apparition', that's an accurate word to use."

The apparition wasn't a spell for travelling through space, but rather turning into an apparition-like ray of light and moving at a fast speed as a shadow before manifesting back into shape.

"Is that right?"

Andy was a little unsure, but that was what Andy felt when he cast the spell this time.

There was no theory on this in the book.

But there was one thing Andy could be sure of, and that was that the moment the magic took effect, Isabel's body had already changed from a solid body to a vague phantom.

"If that's the case ..."

Andy's thoughts moved, 'The Apparition spell may not be without room for alteration!'

Infusing the will of 'wanting to go there' into the whole body along with the magic power, this was the first point of Apparition.

Then ... what if the intention is changed to something else?

Or, when thinking becomes fast to a certain extent, is it possible to achieve the realm of 'as far as my thoughts go, I'll wander off'?

Andy frowned slightly.

In essence, Apparition couldn't be used for super long-distance displacement, and it would be very risky to do so.

"Is it because a solid body cannot turn into a phantom for a long time?" Andy guessed.

"If my analysis is correct."

"Then the real steps of Apparition should be: first, infuse the intention into the whole body along with the magic power, and then turn the body into an illusory shadow, thus performing a super high-speed displacement."

"And the 'feeling of being stuffed into a tube' felt during this process is actually just magic power protecting oneself. Or maybe that's just a sensation during the displacement."

Andy pondered for a long time.

The newly proposed point of view still needed a lot of practical experience before it could be confirmed, well, the theory of 'mind controls magic' was not wrong.

So all Andy had to do was to practice a lot repeatedly, especially the long-distance apparition - in this way, the feeling would be a little clearer.

After sorting out the theoretical foundation, Andy started the formal practice.

Before, he didn't feel much, but when Andy realised that Apparition wasn't magic for shuttling through space, the feeling became clearer and clearer.

***

Snap!

Snap!

In the yard, Andy cast an Apparition twice in a row at a very fast speed.

"Success!" Andy was elated.

Since he understood the essence of the spell, making some changes on that basis was not that difficult for the current Andy.

The [Charms: 7] talent was no joke.

Moreover, Andy's [Mind] and [Thinking] were not low.

"Issa-" Andy shouted.

"Coming coming!" Hearing the sound, Isabel ran out in a flurry of wind.

"Andy, you're looking for me?" The little girl asked cheerfully.

After buying snacks, the service attitude was immediately different.

"Issa, do me a favour."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Andy said, "You pick up two stones and throw them towards me in a while."

"Huh?" Isabel froze.

Andy explained, "I want to try using Apparition to dodge the attack. Don't worry, it won't hurt me."

Isabel froze, "Not ... I mean, why don't we use snowballs?"

It had just snowed two days ago.

Andy: "..."

"I'm afraid you'll freeze your hands," Andy said.

The little girl held up her hands and showed her gloves.

Andy blushed.

Isabel hurriedly balled up two snowballs and held them in her hands, looked at Andy and said, "I'm going to throw it!"

"Come on! Be quick." Andy said.

Whoosh!

Andy saw the right moment and immediately used Apparition the moment the snowball was about to approach his body.

Snap!

Andy appeared on the other side of the yard.

Whoosh!

Another snowball flew towards Andy.

Andy similarly did not rush to cast the spell but cast Apparition the moment the snowball was about to hit him.

"Whew..."

Andy exhaled a breath.

Continuously casting Apparition did make him feel a little bad.

After checking his body, he found that there were no traces of being hit by the snowball.

Andy asked, "Issa, did the snowball fly over, or did it move away with me?"

"It flew over!" Isabel said while pointing to the location that was hit by the snowball.

Andy turned his head to look, and his face was instantly lit up with joy.

"It worked!"

"Next, as long as I practice casting spells to attack the target the moment I manifest, I can truly utilise Apparition in combat," Andy said joyfully.

"And ... you seem to be a little faster this time than before when you used Apparition." Isabel continued.

"Is that so?" Although it was a question, Andy did not feel any surprise.

After understanding the nature of the Apparition, Andy immediately made adjustments to the spell-casting.

Both 'I'm going there' and 'Turning' could be done by imagination, and with repeated practice and familiarity with this way of thinking, the speed of spell casting could be improved.

But when it came to actually casting a spell, there were actually two more steps.

Feeling the body become virtual nothingness and moving with calmness.

Nothingness and movement were the true process of Apparition.

Once you are clear about this, it is actually very easy to increase the speed of spell casting.

Mental suggestion.

Or maybe it was fixed thinking.

Especially when it came to short distance Apparition, as long as the eyes saw it and the idea of Apparition arose, the first thing Andy did was the third step.

Feel the body become void.

Because the eyes have already identified the target you want to move.
