Chapter 92 Triple Casting! Some words and some things require a price!
Following the whispers in Charles' mind, Deep Blue directly deducted 150,000 deduction points and began the initial deduction of Professor Flitwick's multiple casting techniques.
Charles was horrified.
Just the initial deduction required 150,000 points, which was at the top of all the magical knowledge he had acquired.
And you have to know that this was after he received a detailed explanation from Professor Flitwick and even obtained magic material reduction points!
This shows how high the upper limit of this multiple casting technique is!
According to the evaluation of the Deep Blue System, its value may be comparable to the ancient dragon's dragon language magic system!
But Professor Flitwick passed on such precious knowledge to me without me having to pay anything.
Ciel took a deep breath.
"I really owe you a big favor this time."
"I have to find a chance to pay it back..."
Then, waves of knowledge and experience about multiple spellcasting techniques began to flow in Charles' mind.
The familiar feeling reappeared, as if there were countless Charles in countless parallel worlds, studying multiple spellcasting techniques at the same time without sleep or food.
All the experience summarized was poured into the instincts of Charles' body in this world.
With the surge of knowledge and experience, Charles seemed to see the process of Deep Blue deducing multiple spellcasting techniques.
According to Professor Flitwick, the first step is to capture the [resonance] of magic, which is the "echo" produced after casting a spell.
According to Professor Flitwick, it took at least five years from developing the theory to capturing the echoes, and then he came up with a more feasible plan to capture the echoes.
And this time, in Deep Blue's deduction, Ciel started to capture the echo from the fluorescent spell he was most familiar with.
Between every second of deduction, there were countless flashes of fluorescent spells and countless attempts to capture the echo.
It took Professor Flitwick five years to successfully capture the echo, but Ciel did it in an instant!
At this moment, he waved his wand and chanted a fluorescent spell.
When the fluorescent light lit up, Charles also clearly felt a ripple of magic spreading in the space, which produced magical "diffraction", "interference", etc. like water waves.
During the initial spread, Ciel clearly felt the enhanced part of the magical interference, which was the [Echo] mentioned by Professor Flitwick that contained complete spell information.
Echo capture complete!
However, capturing echoes and using them to cast spells is a bigger challenge.
During Professor Flitwick's first twenty years of research and development, fifteen years were spent on tackling key issues in this area.
With his talent and fairy bloodline, he will be more sensitive to magic than ordinary wizards.
But it took a full fifteen years, so you can imagine how difficult it was.
And this only took Charles a moment.
The next moment, a deep blue reminder sounded in Charles' mind.
"The initial deduction of multiple spellcasting techniques has been completed. The host has obtained a special spellcasting skill - spellcasting echo."
"Capturing the echo and using it to cast a spell has become the host's instinct. The host can capture the echo and use it to cast a spell at the fastest speed, and the power of the spell after the echo is almost not reduced!"
This reminder made Charles' eyes light up.
According to Professor Flitwick, using echoes to cast spells will cause the power of the spell to be weakened.
After all, although the echo theoretically contains the information needed to form the spell, it is difficult to interpret it clearly in that fleeting moment.
Then it will be like a silent spell, so the command is unclear, resulting in the spell being released correctly, but the power is lower than normal release, but the reduction in power for multiple casting is not that exaggerated.
And in theory, the more proficient you are in this technique, the less its power will decay.
Charles already had psychological expectations for this.
Even if the power was reduced to 70% of the original spell, he felt that casting spells multiple times instantly was still a huge improvement.
But Charles didn't expect that through Deep Blue's deduction, he could actually accumulate this technique into his instinct, making the power decay almost negligible.
Then this is truly an epic upgrade!
Ciel took a deep breath and waved his wand again, releasing the fluorescent spell.
"Luminescent Charm - Casting Echo!"
Then, two fluorescent spells bloomed on Ciel's wand at the same time.
This can't be called a fluorescent light, but a bright high-power light bulb!
Feeling the magic of the spell echo, Charles took a deep breath. This was a huge boost to his strength.
And with this technique, a spell that might not have been able to penetrate the enemy's magical defenses might burst out with enough power to penetrate them in the next moment.
How could the enemy have imagined that the same spell could transform in an instant and double its power?
So the next moment, Charles spoke to Shenlan again without any hesitation.
"Deep Blue, continue the deduction."
In an instant, one million and a half points were deducted, and Deep Blue deduced in the direction of triple spellcasting!
……
At the same time, in the dark Potions classroom, a terrifying atmosphere was enveloping the little Hufflepuffs who came to class.
Snape, dressed in a black robe, had his usual harsh and cold expression on his face, and a habitual sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Just this look alone made the temperature in the classroom seem to drop a few degrees.
The little badger and the little eagles who came to class with him trembled and sat down one after another.
When the class bell rang, the cold atmosphere not only did not weaken in the slightest, but instead became several times stronger in an instant.
Snape looked at the empty seat among Hufflepuffs like a venomous snake seeing its prey.
The little wizards in the classroom all had an illusion, as if they heard a poisonous snake hissing and grinning as if it was ready to bite someone.
"Is there a Hufflepuff missing?"
Snape's tone gradually rose.
"Ah, let me guess, it must be that famous genius - Charles Evans."
"Haha, it really opened my eyes."
"I thought that the one who would show such arrogance should be another famous young wizard. I didn't expect that the usually honest Hufflepuff would produce such an arrogant person."
Snape then sneered.
"There are always some foolish wizards who think they can ignore Potions classes because they are talented in waving a wand."
"They think that their talents in Charms and Transfiguration can be transferred to Potions intact."
"But I will say this is an art class that is not just silly waving of a magic wand."
"I don't expect you, the notoriously dull Hufflepuffs, to truly appreciate the beauty of a simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and fragrant aromas."
"You will never truly understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's veins, which makes people's hearts and minds excited and confused..."
"You are the same stupid fools I always meet. I just want to get rid of you quickly, let you graduate early, and never show up in my class again."
"Ah, so the genius Charles Evans took the lead and didn't even come to the Potions class? I don't remember that I approved his application for exemption."
Then, Snape announced something that made the little Hufflepuffs' blood run cold.
"One hundred points are deducted from Hufflepuff for Ciel Evans' absence from class, and for the arrogance and disrespect for professors that his behavior reveals."
The next moment, the little Hufflepuffs couldn't help but start to make a commotion.
They had already heard from their seniors about the punishment for being late or absent from class.
Being late is a very common thing at the beginning of the first semester. After all, the young wizards are not familiar with the ways in the castle, and the professors can tolerate it.
Even if you are twenty minutes late, the professor will just give you a reminder and you won't be penalized.
Of course, if you skip classes, some strict professors will definitely deduct points.
But the first time you miss a class, it’s usually only about ten minutes, and the more lenient professors may just give you a verbal warning.
How could someone be deducted 100 points right from the start like Snape?
That’s not all, Snape continued to spew venom from his mouth.
"Charles Evans thinks he's amazing?"
"Let me tell you, I have seen so many geniuses. What is genius? Many geniuses become ordinary people halfway through their careers. Many geniuses also die in their stupid, reckless, and arrogant actions, and even take others with them."
"In my opinion, Charles Evans is most likely the so-called genius who lost his life due to arrogance."
"Let me give you a suggestion. Stay away from this kind of person if you don't want to die miserably with him!"
Hannah Abbott, the shy little girl at the Sorting Ceremony, had helped Old Tom deliver meals to Shire at the Leaky Cauldron several times.
When she heard Snape assert that Charles would most likely die tragically, she could no longer bear it and stood up.
"Professor, Ciel won't die!"
"He's not an arrogant person. He's a very nice person..."
Before he finished speaking, Snape showed a sneer.
"is it?"
"Hannah Abbott, before you come to the defense of Charles Evans, did you raise your hand, did you stand up and get my permission?"
"Hufflepuff will be deducted another ten points for violating classroom discipline."
Another Hufflepuff girl couldn't help but raise her hand.
Susan Bones said after Snape sneered and nodded for her to stand up.
"Professor, there is a reason why Ciel didn't come to class. He must have been too tired after two exams. Besides, the bell just rang, so he can only be considered late, not absent..."
Before she could finish her words, she was forced to sit down again by Snape's stern gaze.
Snape's sneer widened.
"shirk."
"Make excuses."
"quibble!"
"Also, since when did Hufflepuffs start being clever and trying to take advantage of the rules?"
"Twenty points off for Hufflepuff!"
Snape's ill intentions towards Hufflepuff were already obvious.
After Susan Bones sat down with a pale face, the little badgers lowered their heads and avoided Snape's gaze in fear.
Snape seemed satisfied and said quietly.
"Well, now that you have finally learned your lesson, we can finally start today's lesson."
"I am very much looking forward to your performance in the first class."
The little badger and the little eagles beside him breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's class, Snape will always be quiet, right?
But the next moment, Snape did not start the formal content of the class, but instead called on Hufflepuff students by name and asked them questions like a machine gun, asking them some questions that were clearly in the later courses.
This is not even at the beginning of the textbook. Even the Ravenclaws who have the habit of previewing, at least 70% to 80% of them don't see this, let alone Hufflepuffs who are not known for their intelligence?
Under Snape's questioning, they were naturally wiped out.
Snape's expression was cold.
"So you didn't focus on studying?" "Didn't you prepare for the class?"
"You think you're here to visit Hogwarts for sightseeing and entertainment?"
"Deduction points, deduction points, deduction points!"
In the blink of an eye, Snape deducted another 30 points from Hufflepuff just for this question-and-answer session.
During this period, the venom he spewed out made the little badgers hang their heads, some of them had blood red faces, and some looked pale.
Without exception, all the little badgers who were called upon to answer questions fell into a trance.
Even so, Snape seemed to have a switch turned on, and the venom from his mouth did not stop throughout the entire class.
He hovered over the badgers throughout the entire class.
Once any mistake is discovered, there will be a torrent of ridicule, sarcasm, or even insults.
"Pig!"
"What's going on in your head?"
"Is it because you haven't digested the apple pie you ate last night?"
"I'm talking about porcupine quills cut into three-centimeter segments. What did you cut? Are you trying to cut porcupine foam?"
"And you, have you figured out the stirring order? Which is left and which is right, and which is clockwise and which is counter-clockwise?"
"answer my question!"
"You, you think you can block this pot of garbage by lowering your head? Can't your eyes see clearly? Can't your nose smell anything? Why don't you throw away this pot of garbage you produced?!"
The little Hufflepuffs lowered their heads one after another. This Potions class had become a nightmare for them.
All the girls had red eyes and were crying, even the little boy who was taught to be strong was half crying.
Many young wizards have fallen into a trance and dare not touch the potion ingredients.
Not to mention the Ravenclaws who were trembling in fear on the side, even Snape himself felt that he had gone a bit too far by the end of his scolding.
But let him bow his head?
Absolutely impossible!
Just then, the bell rang for the end of get out of class and Snape snorted coldly.
"get out of class is over."
……
In the empty classroom, Deep Blue's voice echoed in Ciel's mind.
"The second deduction of the multiple casting technique is completed. The host has obtained a special casting technique - triple casting."
At this moment, Charles' eyes showed joy.
This is already on par with Professor Flitwick, who can cast three identical spells instantly!
Unfortunately, too many points are needed to deduce further. Although Charles can afford it, he still doesn't want to use it rashly.
The magical skill of triple casting is more than enough for him at the moment.
An impatient look emerged on his face, wanting to try out the power of triple casting.
This time, Ciel was not satisfied with just experimenting with the fluorescent spell.
He raised his hand.
"Flash spell—triple cast!"
The next moment, a light far more dazzling than the previous battle with Professor Flitwick burst out.
The light is so strong that even wearing sunglasses would be useless.
Even if you use magic to create a dark area, it may be forcibly penetrated by the dazzling light! Then, Ciel tried the laser spell again.
The laser spell under triple casting can instantly stimulate three horizontal and vertical lasers, greatly blocking the enemy's dodging space.
It is also much faster to form the laser net that Charles had used previously through triple casting.
However, these spells have almost been eliminated by Charles' current combat system. He only used them before in order not to reveal his exaggerated strength.
The only combat method that Charles really uses now, apart from those high-powered magic, is the Night's Edge Curse which can be tried here.
"Night's Edge - Triple Cast!"
As the spell was recited, an invisible sharp edge suddenly burst out from the tip of Charles' mithril wand.
Originally, after his spiritual transformation, the invisible light blade of the Night Blade Curse that Charles activated could be about two meters long.
Now, after three spells, the length of the light blade has reached an outrageous six meters.
And because of its extremely fast activation speed, it almost instantly crossed the length of the classroom and pierced into the wall at the other end!
Ciel's eyes widened.
Both the killing speed and distance increased instantly, which was a qualitative improvement.
Originally, Charles had to fight enemies at close range, but now they will be directly penetrated by the invisible light blade at medium distance!
If strong enough magical protection is not set up in advance, I'm afraid few wizards will be able to react to this attack.
Ciel took a deep breath, feeling agitated.
"Brilliant!"
The Night's Edge spell had undergone such a qualitative change that he could no longer wait to find a place to try it out to see if he could afford to cast multiple spells of such powerful spells as Eternal Blazing Sun, Lightless Sun, Holy Kingdom, and Only I Am God.
He even wanted to try whether he could use this technique in ancient dragon form!
"There's enough space in the Forbidden Forest, but the Room of Requirement is more convenient."
Charles walked out of the classroom, planning to go to the Room of Requirement to try out how these powerful spells performed under multiple castings.
Before entering the corridor, he cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself.
After all, he became famous in Hogwarts today, and he didn't want people to pay attention to his actions.
Walking along the corridor, Charles was wondering about the location of the Room of Requirement when suddenly, the crying little Hufflepuffs came towards him from the front, as if a dark cloud was covering them.
There was a hint of surprise in Charles' eyes. He wondered what had happened to them and why they were crying so miserably.
He didn't intend to take care of these things. After all, he really didn't like being a nanny, and he didn't like children even more.
Too noisy.
Besides, no matter what setbacks the little badgers encounter, it is all part of their growth.
Just bear some blows. Only children from wealthy families will be pampered everywhere. Ordinary people will be hit by the society sooner or later.
The setbacks I received in school were huge, and I thought they were nothing when I was still in school. But after graduation, I realized they were nothing.
But perhaps it is only by enduring some setbacks in school that one can gradually adapt to the failures and setbacks after graduation.
Ciel didn't want to interfere with the normal growth of the child, and he was about to leave until he heard the sullen little Ravenclaws complaining to the little badgers.
"Professor Snape is just targeting me on purpose."
"When Ciel didn't go to class, he was already very angry and deducted 100 points directly. You shouldn't have defended Ciel when you were angry. You should just go along with Professor Snape and say no. If you can't do anything else, just keep your head down and keep silent."
"Look at what he said about you later. It's simply humiliating and a personal attack!"
"In this class, Hufflepuff lost more than half of his marks. Is it worth it?"
Hannah Abbott retorted, blushing.
"No, Ciel added so many points to Hufflepuff. He is our hero."
"Besides, the points belong to Sharjah. Even if half is deducted, it's still a lot of points."
"We Hufflepuffs are loyal to our friends and classmates. We won't just go along with what they say for fear of being scolded or having points deducted."
The Ravenclaw eagles shook their heads, clearly disapproving of this approach.
At this moment, Charles' voice suddenly came to Hannah and the little badgers' ears.
Ciel looked at Hannah and asked.
"Little Hannah, were you scolded by Professor Snape?"
"Tell me what Snape said about you."
Hannah and the others blushed and shook their heads, but tears were already welling up in their eyes.
Ciel stared at Hannah.
"Tell me, it's okay, I can handle it."
Hannah's eyes suddenly became redder, tears poured down, and she sobbed and repeated what Snape had said.
Charles listened quietly, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy and colder.
To be honest, Charles was not annoyed when Snape talked about him at first.
I did not go to class and broke the rules, so let Snape say what he wants.
He was too lazy to argue with Snape about this. At most, when he was calculating Snape's potion materials, he would choose not to leave him a penny, or he would break a few of Snape's bones when he robbed him in the dark of night.
As for being deducted points, Charles didn't care at all.
We are adults, we can add or deduct points as needed. Who needs this kind of “little red flower from kindergarten”?
He added 400 points to Hufflepuff house, and no one could blame him even if all the points were deducted.
Charles was not angry about this.
But what made Ciel angry was that Snape implicated the people who spoke up and defended him.
What made him even more intolerable was that Snape did not stop there, and continued to attack the little badgers with vicious words, destroying their personal dignity.
What kind of person could do such a thing?
Charles stopped, his eyes as cold as ice.
He doesn't care about many things. After all, he is an adult who has struggled in his previous life. He didn't make much money, but his moral bottom line and sense of responsibility have long been falling.
But after what happened today, Charles felt that if he didn't do something, the tens of millions of points he spent on deduction would just be fed to the turtle.
He stopped his steps on the way to the Room of Requirement and looked at Hannah and the badgers.
"Send a few of you to find Professor Sprout and report to her word for word what Snape said to you today."
"Others went to find Professor Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw, who was also present."
"Then go to Professor McGonagall, the deputy headmaster, and Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, and tell them exactly how Snape insulted you."
Ciel's voice softened a little.
"If something happens, you must trust our own professors and deans. Don't just swallow your anger. Do you understand?"
Then, Charles turned around.
Hannah asked from behind him.
"What about you, Charles?"
Charles turned around and forced a sinister smile.
"Since some people have no family education and don't know how to learn from their mistakes, I will teach them and let them remember one thing -"
"Some words spoken and some things done have a price to pay."
