"King of Lumos?"
Professor Filius Flitwick nodded, a hint of regret in his voice.
"I thought the young people nowadays would be a bit more unconventional, perhaps calling themselves the Golden Flash of Hogwarts or something similar."
"But this will do. I'll fill out the membership application for you, and the badge representing the King of Lumos identity will be delivered within two weeks."
Professor Flitwick's conversation with Charle about joining the British Wizarding Duel Club made the eyes of some older students turn green with envy.
They were worried about where to find employment, and the British Wizarding Duel Club was an extremely popular but also extremely difficult option to get into.
Every wizard who became a member of the Duel Club possessed exceptional skills.
Even if these older students only worked as staff after graduation, they would have many channels to access advanced magical knowledge for further study.
Or, even if they weren't interested in advanced magical studies, dueling was an ancient tradition with a large following among wizards.
This meant that the Duel Club had more sponsors than they could possibly spend. Working there offered generous salaries and excellent benefits, making it an absolutely top-tier place to be.
It was a pity that the Duel Club didn't necessarily recruit even one person from Hogwarts each year, as many positions were already filled internally.
But now, Charle had actually obtained membership in the Duel Club directly?
This was far superior to the club staff positions that countless older Hogwarts students dreamed of!
For a moment, the students who understood the weight of this identity looked at Charle with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
But thinking about Charle's performance just now, that hint of jealousy in their hearts also vanished like smoke.
If the difference between two people wasn't significant, jealousy was easy.
But if the difference was as vast as heaven and earth, it became much easier to accept.
At this moment, Charle looked at Professor Flitwick, his mind recalling the special Shield Charm he had just cast.
Charle tentatively asked.
"Professor, the Shield Charm you used just now to block my Laser Spell, I saw you cast three of them almost instantly?"
At the mention of this, a look of "I knew you'd ask" appeared on Professor Flitwick's face.
He clasped his hands behind his back, his face full of pride.
"Ah, that's my specialty."
"Whether it's the Shield Charm, the Stunning Spell, or most other spells that aren't too taxing, I can cast several of them instantly. Otherwise, how do you think I managed to win several dueling championships in a row and firmly defend my title as the King of Gale?"
"Hehe, purely relying on casting speed? Some well-trained wizards might not be slower than me in their casting speed, but as long as I get serious, they won't be able to keep up with the speed at which I cast spells."
Charle's expression grew even more astonished.
He had thought that the triple Shield Charm just now was Professor Flitwick's improvement on the Shield Charm.
For a Charms professor at Hogwarts, let alone improving a spell, Charle wouldn't find it strange even if they created several unique spells of their own.
After all, Snape was able to create the Levicorpus spell when he was still a student, and together with it, he created Sectumsempra, his signature spell.
If a student could do it, how could Professor Flitwick not?
But Charle hadn't expected, judging by Professor Flitwick's words, that this seemed to be applicable not only to the Shield Charm but also to other spells.
Was this a unique technique similar to silent casting or wandless casting?
However, compared to the former two, the boost in strength provided by this unique technique could be said to be quite terrifying. No wonder Professor Flitwick could defend so many dueling championships with overwhelming dominance.
If he could learn it, some spells that were already incredibly powerful would likely become even more terrifying.
After the Deep Blue deduction, it might even be possible to use it in his Ancient Dragon form.
At that time, the power of a triple Eternal Blazing Sun and a triple Storm Summons would far exceed imagination!
Just as Charle was considering how to learn this technique from Professor Flitwick, Professor Flitwick said with a smile.
"I call this technique Multiple Spellcasting."
"Want to learn it?"
Charle nodded frankly.
"Yes."
The next moment, Professor Flitwick beckoned, signaling Charle to follow him into the Charms classroom.
"Come in. Since you don't need to attend my large class, I'll give you a private lesson."
Charle's eyes showed surprise. He hadn't expected Professor Flitwick to agree so easily.
Professor Flitwick said with a proud expression.
"I am a professor at Hogwarts. As a professor, I should naturally impart all my knowledge to my students."
"Besides, Charle, you are the strongest genius I have ever seen. Your future achievements will surely far exceed my imagination."
"The Multiple Spellcasting technique, in my hands, has only won a few dueling championships, but with you, it might be improved to a more profound level and accompany you in achieving greater accomplishments. Wouldn't I then also be remembered in history alongside you?"
Charle's face showed respect, and he bowed to Professor Flitwick again.
The words "impart all my knowledge" were easy to say, but difficult to do.
It takes countless hours of effort to develop a technique, and throughout history, many people have been unwilling to pass them on, leading to the disappearance of countless unique spells.
If it were Charle, how could he possibly teach others the spells he had deduced using points?
Professor Filius Flitwick's magnanimity is truly beyond compare.
At this moment, the other Hogwarts students nearby were also envious.
They couldn't learn Charle's talent, but if they could learn Professor Filius Flitwick's Multiple Spellcasting technique, wouldn't that be amazing too?
Unfortunately, Professor Filius Flitwick directly closed the door to the Charms classroom and warned them.
"Do not attempt to eavesdrop. It's not that I'm being unfair by not teaching you, it's that your Charms foundation is too weak."
"Rashly learning overly advanced spellcasting techniques will not only not benefit you, but it will also cause problems even with your basic spellcasting. Before thinking about flying, think about how to walk steadily."
"Of course, if any of you can create any new spell, I will give them the opportunity to learn Multiple Spellcasting from me."
Immediately, the classroom door closed, and Professor Filius Flitwick also cast a spell to prevent eavesdropping and peeking, leaving the Hogwarts students watching outside feeling frustrated.
Create a new spell?
What kind of joke is that? How many students in a generation at Hogwarts can create a new spell? They were well aware of their limitations.
Seeing no hope of learning the Multiple Spellcasting technique, the students gathered here gradually dispersed.
Even after leaving the scene, everyone was still enthusiastically discussing what had just happened, as well as Charle's self-created spells and Professor Filius Flitwick's statement that his talent was greater than Dumbledore's.
When they returned to the House Cup area and saw Hufflepuff's total score once again significantly higher, reaching a staggering four hundred points, their eyes showed reverence.
"With a freak like Charle around, this year's House Cup should be locked in by Hufflepuff early."
But regarding this matter, it wasn't just the Hufflepuff students who were happy; the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students also felt quite pleased.
After all, Slytherin had won the House Cup for six consecutive years before.
If Slytherin had won fairly, everyone would have accepted it, at most admitting they weren't as skilled, and wouldn't have any resentment.
But the problem was that the biggest reason Slytherin won the House Cup wasn't that they were more outstanding, but that they had a protective and harsh Head of House.
Every time during Potions class, Snape would heavily deduct points from other houses and give points to Slytherin.
Also, whenever Snape caught any slight mistake, other professors might just give a warning or lecture, but Snape would immediately deduct points.
Other professors simply couldn't be so shameless, and in the end, the House Cup was naturally won by Slytherin House.
But this year, with Charle Evans emerging out of nowhere, Hufflepuff was now leading by four hundred points. Could Slytherin House still catch up?
Not to mention they didn't believe it, even the Slytherin students present felt uncertain.
Draco Malfoy's expression was grim as he hurried to Snape's office and reported the situation to Snape.
After hearing Malfoy's report, Snape's face also showed surprise.
On the night of the Welcome Feast, he had indeed heard Professor McGonagall mention Charle Evans's talent in Transfiguration, and Dumbledore had also nodded in agreement.
But at the time, Snape hadn't paid too much attention.
He hadn't expected to hear such news today.
That little Hufflepuff wizard, his talent in Transfiguration was more than just excellent; it was monstrous!
And Charms, he had just started his first year, hadn't even had a single class yet, and could create two new spells?
One should know that Charle wasn't from a pure-blood noble family but was Muggle-born, so it was impossible for him to have been exposed to magic beforehand.
In other words, he truly accomplished this feat during the time between receiving his acceptance letter and the start of school.
For such a young wizard, Snape could only describe him as a prodigy.
However, after hearing Malfoy express his concern about whether Slytherin could still win the House Cup this year, the shock on Snape's face turned into a look of indifference.
He said lightly.
"No one can take the House Cup from Slytherin House."
Then, under Malfoy's surprised gaze, Snape said faintly.
"Draco Malfoy has the collective honor of the House at heart. Ten points to Slytherin."
He even glanced at the class schedule, a look of mockery appearing on his face.
"Isn't Hufflepuff's Potions class coming up soon?"
"Hufflepuff is a bunch of idiots, even stupider than Gryffindor. Just the countless mistakes they make are enough for me to deduct points from Hufflepuff for quite a while."
"Don't worry, it won't take long for this gap to be closed."
Hearing Snape's blatant favoritism, even Malfoy felt a little sorry for Hufflepuff.
However, instead of feeling unfair, he felt quite excited.
The only thing that still worried him a little was Charle.
Charle's previous performance had truly shocked Malfoy.
"Godfather, what if that Charle Evans is unhappy about this?"
When Snape heard this, he was almost amused by anger, looking at his godson with a look of disappointment and saying.
"If you were asking if Professor Sprout, the Head of Hufflepuff, would be displeased, I'd think you still had a brain. But Malfoy, what on earth are you thinking?"
"Charle Evans displeased? What can he do even if he is?"
"He's a first-year student, and he thinks he can oppose me, a professor and the Head of Slytherin House?"
Snape sneered dismissively.
"Even the students who are about to graduate wouldn't dare, let alone a little wizard?"
"If he really dares to raise any objections..."
Undisguised malice appeared in Snape's eyes.
"I don't mind teaching him what it means to respect a professor!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Charms classroom, Professor Filius Flitwick was explaining the principle of Multiple Spellcasting to Charle.
"Echo, this unique technique utilizes a phenomenon I call echo."
"And to understand echo, you must first understand the essence of a wizard's spellcasting."
"Charle, every wizard or magical creature has magic within them, but in most cases, the magic consumed when we cast spells is negligible. Instead, the main consumption is mental, and even physical exhaustion is greater than the magic consumed."
"The power of a spell seems related to the amount of magic in our bodies, but in reality, it is determined by the intensity of magic and mental strength."
"The reason people say that the more magic you have, the more powerful your spells are, is simply because a wizard's magic intensity and total magic amount are generally proportional, creating this illusion."
"In fact, let alone wizards of Dumbledore's level, even first-year students rarely run out of magic, even after casting many spells repeatedly. Why do you think that is?"
This question also caused Charle to ponder deeply.
He had similar questions when he read the original Harry Potter books in his previous life.
The wizards' mana bars in this world were ridiculously long, to the point where it felt like there was no mana bar at all.
To become a wizard, one must have magic.
But after becoming a wizard, casting spells didn't seem to consume magic, which was quite strange.
He didn't expect Professor Filius Flitwick to mention this phenomenon here, causing Charle to turn and look at Professor Filius Flitwick.
The professor didn't keep him in suspense and continued.
"Based on my personal understanding and after reading a large number of books on the principles of Charms, I believe that the magic used when a wizard casts a spell does not consume their own magic, or rather, the consumption of their own magic is extremely weak. The source of a spell's magic almost entirely comes from the outside world."
"This outside world, you can understand it as... the world, the Aether, the void, in short, it is everywhere."
"The reason a wizard must possess magic to cast spells is because calling upon external magic requires a certain aptitude, recognition, or identity. Having magic grants you this identity."
"And the intensity of magic and mental strength determine the level of this identity and how much magic can be called from the outside world. Spells and casting gestures are like commands, commanding the outside world to provide magic for the spell we are about to cast."
"The higher one's own magic intensity and mental strength, the more magic they can call upon when casting spells, making the same spell more powerful, or casting more powerful spells."
"Wandless and non-verbal casting weakens the power of spells because it reduces the accuracy of the command to the outside world, lowering the efficiency of the command."
"As for the slight magic consumption when we cast spells, that's easy to understand. That's the consumption of the action of giving the command itself, so it's naturally very small."
Hearing Professor Filius Flitwick's explanation, a look of shock appeared on Charle's face.
His questions about wizards in the Harry Potter world were largely answered by Professor Filius Flitwick's explanation.
Even the Dragon Language magic of ancient dragons could be explained by this theory!
At the same time, the deep blue system notifications sounded one after another.
Host has obtained high-grade magic material...
The points required for the host to deduce all magic have decreased!
This notification caused an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy in Charle's heart.
Unlike the names of all the materials he had obtained before, this material was directly called high-grade magic material, and its effect was that it could be effective for all magic!
Instantly, the admiration in Charle's eyes as he looked at Professor Filius Flitwick grew even stronger.
He had previously given him so many individual spell materials, and now he had given him such a big surprise. As expected of a Charms professor of so many years, his accumulation in this area was truly incredibly profound!
However, after hearing this, Charle still had a question.
"The outside world, or rather, the world, Aether, and void you mentioned, why is it filled with omnipresent magic?"
"Where does this magic come from?"
Professor Filius Flitwick also shook his head at this, showing a look of longing.
"This is the ultimate question for Charms scholars. Countless Charms masters have tirelessly explored this question."
"Perhaps I won't find the answer to this question in my lifetime, but perhaps Charle, you have that potential."
Then, Professor Filius Flitwick brought the topic back to the Multiple Spellcasting technique.
"I mentioned echo to you before, and now I can explain it clearly."
"When a wizard casts a spell, they use incantations and casting gestures to transmit commands to the outside world. In this process, just like shouting in a valley produces an echo, or dropping a stone into water creates ripples, there will also be similar magic echoes."
"The magic echoes also contain our command information."
"Then, through the magic echo, one can naturally command the external world again, forming the same spell once more..."
Charle's eyes showed a look of understanding.
Professor Filius Flitwick chuckled.
"That's the principle, it's actually quite simple."
"However, practicing it is quite difficult. After I came up with this theory, it took me nearly ten years to successfully use the echo to repeat the first casting."
"Then it took me almost twenty more years to repeat it again, achieving Triple Spellcasting."
"Charle, although your talent is high, I estimate that being able to complete Double Spellcasting in your fifth year would be quite good. Completing Triple Spellcasting around the age of twenty-five, and perhaps reaching the unprecedented Quadruple or even Quintuple Spellcasting around forty!"
As he spoke of this, amidst his excitement, he also cautioned Charle.
"Remember, just as you need to concentrate more to distinguish information in an echo, using the magic echo will also increase the consumption of mental energy. The more times you repeat it, the greater the consumption."
Charle nodded seriously at all of this, indicating that he understood.
Professor Filius Flitwick then waved his hand, allowing Charle to leave, telling him to come find him if he had any questions he didn't understand.
Charle bowed respectfully to this universally acknowledged kind professor before leaving the classroom.
Charle kept everything Professor Filius Flitwick had just said firmly in mind.
However, regarding the time Professor Filius Flitwick estimated it would take him to master the Multiple Spellcasting technique, a smile curved at the corner of Charle's mouth.
"Perhaps a normal genius is like this, but I'm a cheat."
He found an empty classroom, locked the door, then took a deep breath and whispered in his mind.
"Deep Blue, deduce the Multiple Spellcasting technique for me!"
Sorry, I haven't been feeling well after testing positive. After staying up late to update a few chapters before, I really couldn't handle it, so the update was late. My body has recovered almost completely today, so I will continue with the guaranteed ten thousand words and extra updates.
Thank you for your support!
