Chapter 19 Fourth Year of Work (Ch 19)

What does a cowardly little wizard lack the most?

The answer is: self-confidence.

Neville Longbottom should be the same. His guardian grandmother is too strong, and perhaps he has some congenital deficiencies. He heard other professors discussing Neville in the professor’s lounge before.

It is said that when he was a child, he was almost mistaken for a squib with no ability to cast spells.

Okay, this is another point that causes lack of confidence.

What makes a person confident is that he has money in his pocket.

Or there is something in his brain.

Neville’s academic performance…

Potions is somewhat abstract, while Charms, because the release of magic is somewhat tinged with idealism, to be honest, it would be strange for a poor kid like Neville who has so little self-confidence to be good at it.

As for other skills, such as Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, I am just so-so. I do have some talent in Herbology, but that is useless. My cheat code does not give me any blocks related to [Plant Magic]. After all, I haven’t even collected all the original blocks yet. Besides, it is unclear whether this cheat code has any mod or not.

“Neville…Neville…”

Just as Kaisen was leaning on his desk thinking, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

“The door is unlocked, please come in.”

A small figure walked in, with a bulge in his arms.

Kaisen took a look and saw that it was Neville, whom he had just been studying, with a pile of snacks in his arms.

It’s a pity that they are all sweet.

“Neville…can I call you that?” Kaisen asked.

“Of course, Professor.”

“Well, you’re welcome to visit my office.”

Neville came over and put the pile of snacks in his arms on Kaisen’s desk.

Then the child stood in front of the desk, motionless and silent…

“Um…what is this?” Kaisen pointed at the snacks on the desk. Although he had already guessed that this was probably a thank you to him, what if, what if he really couldn’t hold it anymore and just put it here to rest his hands?

“These are my thank you gifts, thank you, Professor Kaysen.” Neville said with a red face.

“Thank you so much, I’ll take it.” Kaisen replied.

“Thank you, Professor.” Neville bowed to Kaisen again, then stood there thinking for a second. He really didn’t know what to say to Professor Kaisen, and was wondering whether he should just leave like this.

But he was stopped by Kaisen.

“Neville, next time you encounter this kind of thing, will you choose to resist?”

Neville stopped short of leaving and asked tentatively, “Resistance?”

“Yes, will you choose to resist?”

“Professor, I…I want to resist, but how should I resist?” Neville looked at Kaisen eagerly, as if he had found a life-saving straw and tried desperately to grab it.

“How do you resist? This is very simple. I just need to know that you want to resist. What evil spell can you use?”

Neville was speechless, not knowing what to say.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to curse. What kind of spell can you use?”

Neville still remained silent.

“That’s not a problem. You’re just a little slower than others. Just promise me that next time someone tries to hurt you, you’ll fight back with your fists even if you don’t know any spells. Can you do that?”

“Yes!” Neville answered firmly.

“That’s enough. Next time you successfully resist, come to my office again.”

“I will… Professor, I actually learned a spell.”

Kaisen smiled.

“That’s good. At least you don’t have to use your fists. What’s the spell?”

“The levitation spell. But it seems that this spell is useless.”

“Anything and anyone in the world is useful. Who says you can’t use the levitation spell to hit someone? You can make him fly up and then drop him heavily to the ground.”

Neville thought for a moment and nodded, “I will, Professor.”

“Well, go ahead. Remember to resist. Being weak is not scary, but being cowardly is.”

Kaisen didn’t know whether Neville heard the last sentence.

Because this kid runs very fast.

After sending Neville away, Kaisen was free again. The previous psychological friction had disappeared without a trace because he was sure that this silly boy Neville had the mentality to resist.

His life once again returned to the days of going between the auditorium, office, library and professors’ lounge.

But most of the time it’s the library.

He absorbed a vast amount of alchemical knowledge into his head, and attending classes was no longer like before, as if it was a scam.

At the same time, he also began to try to analyze his MC abilities through alchemy.

The conclusion is, it’s against the will of Heaven, extremely against the will of Heaven.

The Philosopher’s Stone, also known as the Sorcerer’s Stone, has the most powerful property of transforming matter. However, in his eyes, this pearl of alchemy is just the most basic attack.

As for the so-called magic power to prolong life, that is the job of alchemy next door. For scholars of alchemy, which studies the transformation of matter at the microscopic level, prolonging life can only be regarded as a by-product of alchemy. Compared with the transformation of matter, it has no charm at all.

It can be said that my next job is to integrate the various characteristics of MC into alchemy to the greatest extent possible and teach Alchemy 2.0 to these little wizards.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the second Tuesday since the start of school. All the homework assigned to the fourth-grade wizards last week had been corrected.

I corrected the papers very carefully since I had no classes yesterday, which was Monday.

In fact, there should be a third-grade course, but in order to let the young wizards think about whether to choose elective courses, Hogwarts suspended all elective courses for the third-year wizards in the second week, allowing them to balance their personal time and studies, find a balance and make a thoughtful choice.

As a result, Kaisen had a whole day off, well, only half a day, and he spent the other half of the day grading homework.

As for the homework, it must be said that the little wizards in the fourth grade are already very skilled. They conducted a detailed examination of the magic power emanating from the enchantment table, the patterns on the surface, and the internal structure.

Not only were the papers submitted meaningful, but they also submitted a replica version of the enchantment table.

The entire class was involved. For example, the Slytherin students, who came from wealthy families, were responsible for providing the raw materials, obsidian and diamonds.

Ravenclaw was responsible for the precise design and assembly.

Gryffindor is responsible for preparing the raw materials, while Hufflepuff provides logistical assistance at all times.

Such a simplified version of an enchantment table, which was actually usable and driven by densely packed ancient rune circuits, was placed in front of Kaisen.
