Many people will not give up easily until they encounter failure.
Albert's roommate was obviously no exception. After studying the first volume of "Practical Defensive Magic and Its Restraint of Dark Magic" for a long time, he finally couldn't help but give it a try.
"Protect from Armor!" Fred raised his wand and swiped it downwards, reciting the spell from the book, but nothing happened.
"The book says that the Armor Charm won't glow!" George reminded, comparing the two swords with his hands.
“Come on, try again.” Lee Jordan picked up the Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense and threw it at Fred.
"Do you want to smash me to death?" Fred jumped away and glared at Lee Jordan.
"Encountering danger can stimulate your potential, and a book will definitely not kill you." Li Qiaodan immediately argued.
"Use this!" Albert threw Fred's pillow to Lee Jordan in annoyance. He felt that Fred would hardly succeed. Wasn't throwing books at him just asking for trouble
In fact, Albert was right. After being hit by his pillow many times, Fred temporarily gave up.
Of course, neither George nor Lee Jordan succeeded.
"Well, you guys just practice the simpler spells." Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two of them.
What should this be called
Overestimating your own abilities and being greedy
Well, I guess Professor McGonagall also saw herself that way at that time.
However, Albert is different from the other three!
He has a panel and experience pool. As long as he has acquired the skills, he can use experience to cheat at any time.
"Is there any trick to quickly learn the Shield Charm?" Fred couldn't help but ask.
"The trick?" Albert thought for a moment and said, "Practice more. This is probably the fastest trick!"
"But how did you master these spells so quickly? It's only been summer vacation!" George was a little depressed. He found that Albert knew a lot of magic!
This made him wonder who was born into a wizard family.
"I think I can probably guess the reason!" Albert said after thinking for a while.
"What's the reason?" Fred asked quickly.
"Have you ever played a game that allows you to level up?" Albert glanced at the expressions on the faces of several people, "Well, I guess you haven't played it. Let me put it another way. Does chess require practice to become good?"
"What does this have to do with playing chess?" the twins couldn't help but complain.
"Playing chess requires not only talent, but also practice to improve your skills. The better your skills, the better you are." Albert casually gave an example that didn't quite fit the bill. "Magic is actually similar. Casting spells requires talent..."
"Are you saying that your talent is better than ours?" Li Jordan interrupted him and complained.
"No, what I want to say is that you need to improve your magical power and ability to control magic through practice." Albert explained speechlessly.
"You mean your magic power is stronger than ours and your control over magic is better than ours?" the twins asked suspiciously.
"Yes, at least I think so for now." Albert nodded. "As I mastered more and more spells, I found that learning some new spells became easier than before. I still remember what Professor McGonagall said: Hogwarts can teach underage wizards how to control and use magic."
"Why do I feel like you are fooling us?" Fred raised his eyebrows.
"I wouldn't do that. And I also said that this is just my guess." Albert shook his head repeatedly. He was not fooling the three of them. As the amount of magic he learned by himself increased, his experience of failure in learning magic was also gradually accumulating. This was the extra experience accumulation that was lacking when using the experience pool to directly upgrade skills.
After repeated failures, the Weasley twins have temporarily given up trying to master the Shield Charm and focused their attention on the Unlocking Charm.
After an afternoon of practice, Fred was the first to succeed. He successfully used the Unlocking Charm to open the drawer.
"Great, how did you do that!" George looked at Fred with a little envy, his drawer still motionless.
"Look, Fred learned the unlocking spell first, so I won." Albert, who was reading a book nearby, winked at Lee Jordan and handed a pepper urchin to Lee Jordan with an innocent look on his face. "Eat it, you have to admit defeat."
"What are you betting on?" Fred asked puzzledly.
"Let's bet on who can master the unlocking spell first." Albert said with a smile, "If you lose, you get to eat this..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the Pepper Urchins he bought from the Bee Dukes Candy Store.
"Albert is right. I have to admit defeat if I lose the bet."
George patted his friend on the shoulder and looked at him expectantly. Yes, he was expecting Lee Jordan to eat the candy and then blow fire out of his nose.
"It's all your fault." Li Qiaodan said with a resentful look on his face. He pulled aside the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into his mouth. His cheeks suddenly turned red and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The next moment.
"So spicy..." When Li Jordan opened his mouth, a spicy flame really burst out from his nostrils and instantly covered George's face.
"Asshole, you must have done it on purpose." George's face was a little dark and filled with the smell of pepper.
"Cough cough." Li Qiaodan spurted out some more flames.
However, after seeing what happened to George, Albert and Fred immediately hid far away, fearing that they would suffer an unexpected disaster.
That guy must have done it on purpose, yes, he must have done it.
A few minutes later, Li, who had just rinsed his mouth in the bathroom, looked at Albert with resentment. The smell of pepper had not completely dissipated, and his nostrils were still red from breathing fire.
"Next time, I'll never bet with you on this." Li Qiaodan said unhappily.
"Let's try the every-flavor beans next time." Albert blinked and picked three at random with his eyes closed.
“That’s a good idea.”
"Don't you want to continue practicing? Even if you succeeded once, it doesn't mean you can succeed every time." Albert threw a chocolate bean into his mouth and started flipping through "Selected Nineteenth Century Spells". He had already read two-thirds of the book.
"How's your Disillusionment Charm going?" Fred asked, changing the subject.
"I haven't mastered it completely yet. That spell is much more difficult than the unlocking spell." Albert glanced at the information on the panel. The experience of the Disillusionment Spell was only 35 points. He still needed to practice hard to reach the 100 points of level 1.
"Is that spell really that difficult?" George asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's difficult." Albert couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "I heard that it is one of the spells that Aurors must learn. Well, what is the profession of Auror?"
Albert certainly knew what an Auror was, but as a person from the Muggle world, he shouldn't have too many attempts in the wizarding world.
"It's over!"
"What's over?" Albert asked puzzledly.
"I'm sure I won't be able to learn the Disillusionment Charm this year." The twins couldn't help but wail, as this was a must-have spell for night outings.
