The Ministry of Magic was efficient for once, issuing licenses faster than expected.
As May approached, the Ministry of Magic had letters delivered by owl to all students who had passed their Apparition exams.
What's really funny is that the letter looks very formal, but after opening it, only a small card is revealed, which is a bit like a business card from the previous life.
Albert checked it carefully and found no traces of magic on the card. It was just an ordinary card without any anti-counterfeiting measures.
It's the Ministry of Magic after all, so it's not surprising that they just go through the motions.
Albert no longer paid attention to the matter and put the small card away, but in order to prevent the Ministry of Magic from tampering with it, he used a very strong shielding spell on the small card, then threw it into a special box and locked it up. Even if the Ministry of Magic wanted to locate him through the small card, it would be impossible.
Albert had done something similar before, so he would naturally be on guard against it. This is the benefit of having rich experience.
This matter was quickly put aside, and he continued to study how to improve his strength, which was the priority.
In the past month, Albert has devoted more energy to asking Professor McGonagall for advice on Transfiguration in order to better improve his strength.
Professor McGonagall's use of Transfiguration was refreshing to Albert and gave him a lot of inspiration.
Unfortunately, he was never able to trigger a new mission, which made it difficult for Albert to gain the most benefit from Professor McGonagall's teachings. He could only enrich his own fighting style.
Albert missed the days of studying with Professor Flitwick very much. The feeling of rapid progress in all aspects was really fascinating. He also hoped that Professor McGonagall could bring him effective progress like Professor Flitwick, but some things are destined to never be repeated, and the gap is really huge.
Although it was a pity, Albert also knew that some things could not be forced, so he had to devote more energy to studying wizard duels and Professor Flitwick's dueling skills, trying to master the two skills thoroughly and use them in the next battle to further enhance his strength.
However, the more he studied, the stronger he became, the more he felt that there was an invisible ceiling blocking his ability to continue to rise. He was still growing, but it was impossible for him to make a leap forward.
Albert didn't know what it was.
Maybe, maybe you have encountered the legendary bottleneck in practicing Taoism.
However, Albert had a hunch that if he only needed to go one step further, he would be able to reach Dumbledore's level. He believed that if he could go one step further, the fake Moody would definitely not be able to pose any threat to him.
Insufficient accumulation, lack of experience, or other reasons
Albert didn't know either, but he finally understood why it was so difficult to break through the bottleneck.
Unfortunately, the panel does not clearly indicate how to break through this invisible bottleneck. An unclear road ahead is really frustrating.
He suspected it had something to do with experience, accumulation and knowledge.
If I could get some advice from Dumbledore, or fight him, maybe I could find a way forward.
To be honest, Albert knew that he was too arrogant and was actually preparing to duel with Dumbledore.
It's just crazy.
However, this is the best solution at the moment.
It doesn't matter if I'm defeated by the principal, I just want to learn lessons from the experience.
Moreover, it is impossible for a person to remain undefeated forever. It is undoubtedly safer to be defeated by Dumbledore, and it can also make him realize the gap between the two sides.
If one day I were defeated by a dark wizard or a mysterious person, I would be truly doomed.
As for the blow brought by failure, it doesn't matter at all.
If you can't even face failure, don't even think about taking another step forward and moving to the next level.
If wizards were graded, Albert would be at level four, the elite among the elite. Unfortunately, it was not easy to reach the top.
The young wizards who have just arrived at Hogwarts belong to the first level.
They were all rookies among rookies, or mediocre people who didn't master much magic and were a mess in combat.
Most of the lower grade students belong to this level, and the three saviors who have not been trained by Sirius and Lupin also belong to this level.
A wizard who has learned some magic and has decent enough strength is considered level two.
They have mastered some magic to some extent, but do not know any special skills. Students in Hogwarts above the fifth grade and even most wizards in the wizarding world are in this range, and most of the employees in the Ministry of Magic are also in this range.
They look mediocre and have no real ability.
The three saviors who were trained by Sirius and Lupin also reached this level, and the three good roommates were also at this level.
They master a large number of spells, can skillfully use silent spells, and are stronger than ordinary wizards. They are classified as level three.
They could be considered the social elite, maybe school professors, or some great experts in the magical world, but they still couldn't find their own way.
Even though it looks impressive, it's actually just that.
Hogwarts graduates with outstanding achievements barely reach this level, and most of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic are also at this level.
Sirius and Lupin, and even most of the Death Eaters are at this level.
Albert was once at this level, but he reached level four a while ago.
The wizard who has forged his own path and gone far on it belongs to the fourth level.
They are skilled in silent spells, and even use some wandless magic, and can quickly cast spells to subdue most enemies. In general, a one-on-one duel can defeat anyone in the previous level (those killed by Avada Kedavra are not counted).
The wizards who have reached level four are the elite among the elite in the wizarding world. Snape is also at this level, as well as Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Mad-Eye Moody who once captured dark wizards (Moody's leg disability held him back, otherwise he would be at this level).
If Barty Jr. and Bella had not been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, they would probably have reached this level.
Albert broke through to this level with the help of Professor Flitwick, or in other words, he was already at the top of level three and had a deep accumulation of skills. Professor Flitwick's special training, plus the bonus of his panel skills, allowed him to easily take a step forward.
If neither side uses Avada Kedavra, it is actually not difficult to defeat Little Barty, but Albert is still afraid of being killed by Little Barty using the Avada Kedavra curse, even though he is ready to cheat by drinking the Felicity Potion.
Dumbledore is a level five.
They are all very powerful, a small group of people standing at the top of the entire wizarding world. Nicolas Flamel, Grindelwald and Voldemort were all at this level. They are very powerful in all aspects and fields.
Albert was unfamiliar with the fifth level.
Maybe, when he has accumulated enough experience, he will be able to take that step easily; maybe in another thirty or fifty years; maybe he will never be able to take that step.
To this end, Albert needs to absorb more experiences from others, apply them to his own benefit, shorten the learning opportunities, and thereby quickly enhance his own strength.
He once asked Bard for help, hoping to gain more combat experience from the old man, but it turned out that Bard's strength was far inferior to Professor Flitwick.
Of course, it may also be because he is old. After a round of friendly competition between the two sides, Bard believes that Albert does not need anyone to teach him fighting skills at all, because there are not many wizards who can beat Albert. Even with his current level, if he participates in an international duel competition, as long as he does not foul and get eliminated, it will probably be difficult for him to find an opponent.
The so-called duel champions were probably only at the top level of level three. As for wizards at level four, they were really rare because most of them had won this honorable title when they were young.
"I don't know why you are so anxious. Maybe you should be more confident in yourself. I dare say that there are not many people in the entire wizarding world who can be your match." Bud comforted Albert and told Albert about his combat experience, style and skills.
Although Bud didn't think Albert needed these things, he was speechless about Albert's so-called lack of experience.
In fact, most wizards do not have much combat experience, even less than Albert.
Perhaps, a small number of battle-hardened Aurors could be considered experienced, after all, they often had to deal with illegal dark wizards, so Bud recommended Mad-Eye Moody to Albert.
He actually didn't understand why Albert didn't go to find Moody. He believed that Moody's half a lifetime of experience could definitely satisfy Albert's desire for experience. He must have known this, but he didn't go to learn from him. Was he rejected
Of course Bud didn't know that Albert had rejected the other party.
The guy who teaches at the school is a fake and can't help Albert at all.
Albert didn't dare to deal with little Batty, for fear that after little Batty knew his background, he would feel that he could not beat him and would just run away.
Although the possibility is not high, if Barty comes up with a more vicious way, he will be in big trouble.
After all, dark wizards have the Avada Kedavra Curse and the Unforgivable Curses, which are the dark wizards' greatest confidence.
What if Little Batty hires someone to deal with me
In the novel, Barty the Younger used the Imperius Curse to control Krum and made him help Harry eliminate dissidents.
Albert suspected Krum would throw Avada Kedavra at him.
The Unforgivable Curses are always feared, especially the Killing Curse. Krum's magical power is definitely enough to kill a wizard.
Albert actually practiced the Unforgivable Curse with mice. It's like the nuclear bomb in his previous life. You can choose not to use it, but you absolutely cannot be without it.
If it really comes to a last resort, he doesn't mind using it.
By the way, the fake Moody can actually disguise himself as Moody. Albert was a little worried that he would not have enough compound potions a while ago, but now it seems that Barty Jr. has obviously contacted Voldemort and obtained assistance with materials.
Albert didn't really care what was going on.
Even with him as a butterfly, certain things would still happen.
Voldemort's return is inevitable.
As long as we don't confront each other now, it will be fine.
He also knew that his mentality was not very good and he was afraid of death, but that was human nature. Who is not afraid of death
Well, the principal is probably not afraid. He is a truly brave man who dares to face his own death.
