"You said... the trick?" Albert deliberately stretched out his voice, pretending that he was trying hard to think about how to answer this question.
After a moment, he said, "The trick is... to practice your spells as hard as you would a final exam."
Originally, Albert wanted to say cheating, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up. He guessed that no one would understand what cheating meant.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces froze. They thought they would hear some useful tips, but it turned out that... they were teased by Albert again.
Before they could open their mouths to express their thoughts, Albert continued, "Okay. Actually, this is another kind of magic, a variation of the Wand Glowing Charm, a bit like... well, the Leg-Locking Charm and the Full-Body Binding Charm. Of course, this kind of magic is more difficult to master than the Glowing Charm."
"So, you weren't shaking your wand just now?" Shanna finally figured out what was going on.
However, because the spell was cast while the tip of the wand was glowing, it gave the illusion that the ball of light was shaken off from the glowing wand.
"Of course not." Albert was speechless. He didn't expect these people to think this way. Well, it is undeniable that it did look like he was shaking his wand just now.
The curiosity of the crowd did not last long. They might be interested in the spells that Albert practiced, but not many people wanted to learn. For most students, they not only had to do homework, but also practice spells in class. These two things would take up a lot of their free time, and they simply could not spare the extra time and energy to practice new and more complex spells.
Especially those spells that I don’t understand at all and need to spend a lot of time to learn.
Shanna was undoubtedly the most efficient student in her class, except for Albert. At least, that was the case when it came to doing homework, which was related to her Muggle education when she was a child.
After Shanna finished her homework, she began to practice the copying spell using the paper strips.
That was the spell she learned from Albert. It was not difficult to learn, but if she wanted to master the spell, she still needed to spend a lot of time practicing.
Unlike Shanna, Albert's learning progress was very fast. The light balls he shook out became bigger and bigger, and they would not go out immediately. They could even fly forward for a distance.
This speed of progress visible to the naked eye was truly shocking. They all realized that it wouldn't take long for Albert to master this magic.
Shanna raised her head and stared blankly at the ball of light floating above her head, her face full of disbelief, "It worked just like that?"
From the time Albert started practicing until now, it has only lasted less than half an hour!
"Don't be surprised, this is normal." Fred comforted him casually, "Albert must have practiced secretly, but you just don't know."
Albert glanced at the skill panel. The skill only had 65 experience points and had not yet been upgraded to level one, but the experience points gained were already amazing.
"It seems that you have forgotten the party time." Someone interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Katrina walked behind Albert at some point and also looked up at the disappearing ball of light above her head, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"You actually came to remind me." Albert put down his wand, took out his pocket watch, opened the cover, checked the time and said, "Twenty minutes left."
"Last time, you took me to classroom 21. This time, I'll take you to classroom 17." Katrina turned around and said to Albert with her back to him, "It's even."
Of course, what they were talking about was the Curse Club, to which they had both received invitations.
In fact, the day after Katrina said Albert was not invited, he received an invitation from Professor Flitwick. Similar to Professor McGonagall's invitation to the Transfiguration Club last year, the task panel directly completed a task related to the Charms Club and also rewarded 2,000 experience points.
After completing the task, Albert directly upgraded his spell theory to level 2. At least when he joined the club, he didn't have to worry about not understanding what Professor Flitwick was saying. Moreover, the 2,000 experience points rewarded by the task were not used up, and one third was left.
George raised his head and looked at the two people's backs as they left, muttering softly: "When did their relationship become so good?"
"Friends of geniuses are usually geniuses too," Shanna pouted.
"Then what do you think we are?" Fred disagreed with her point of view. They all had a good relationship, especially a few months ago, when Albert ventured deep into the forbidden forest to find them.
If Albert didn't consider himself a friend, how could he take such a big risk
"Roommate." Shanna said without hesitation.
"No, no." George didn't pay much attention to this remark. He shook his index finger and said jokingly, "In fact, we are geniuses too!"
"What genius?" Li Qiaodan couldn't help but joked, "A genius for making fun of others?"
"I think he's a trouble-making genius." Sana looked at the few people making a fuss over there speechlessly, and continued to practice her copy spell. She planned to take advantage of the free time at the beginning of the school term to master the spell as soon as possible.
"I think Katrina has a hard time."
"Hard?"
"She seems to like competing with Albert. This is not a good choice." Fred took out the cards from his pocket and shook them in front of Shanna: "Would you like to play a game?"
Without even looking up, Shanna asked, "You don't have to do your homework?"
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Seeing Fred being humiliated, George and Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing.
In fact, they also envied Albert's talent, but as friends and roommates, the three of them knew Albert's situation very well. Perhaps, he was indeed a genius, but in unknown places, he also made unimaginable efforts for ordinary people.
In order to master those spells, Albert also needs to spend a lot of time studying and practicing.
Especially when writing letters to those so-called "pen pals", they would fill a thick stack each time, and the stack would keep getting thicker, which is extremely anti-wizard.
The three of them had read the contents before. It was a terrible feeling that they could understand every word but couldn't understand them when put together.
That stuff is a ton harder than any of the homework they do.
It seemed horrible to them that Albert could write several letters a week and receive the same number of replies.
However, even in this situation, that guy still looked more relaxed than them.
Katrina was a genius, but in the eyes of the three, she was just that. That was why Fred said it was hard for Katrina to compete with Albert.
Sometimes, genius is not scary, what is scary is that the other person is more talented than you and works harder than you.
Because they had been left behind long ago, the three of them had no so-called jealousy. They all realized that they were no longer on the same level as Albert in some aspects.
