I haven't even read Chapter 315 yet! Is this it?
Those who haven't experienced it can hardly imagine what it's like to stand in the center of the stage and look up to see thousands or tens of thousands of people cheering for you.
That kind of fervent self-identification, like a roaring tsunami, is a social psychological satisfaction that distinguishes humans from other animals.
Ron suddenly felt that his existence in this world had meaning.
He is no longer someone who goes unnoticed, someone who, even when he's not hiding, remains undetected and can only struggle to find ways to validate himself. Now, his existence is being affirmed by countless people.
This overwhelming sense of affirmation, like the tides of the world, in turn fosters his self-affirmation.
As the saying goes: "The tide comes in on the Qiantang River, and only today do I realize who I am!"
It turns out that there really is a stage in this world. Most people stand below the stage, while only a small group of people stand on the stage and become famous figures, becoming true members of society.
There was no Dean Thomas (Ron's roommate) in this society, and there was no Ron Weasley before, but now there is Ron Weasley.
This feeling is so special.
Lockhart was most moved by this!
He sat on the platform of the dueling arena, watching Ron standing there enjoying the cheers of the crowd, and suddenly felt a very unique magical power surging within him.
Moreover, it is extremely layered.
First, there's the "relationship magic" he's currently maintaining. He can sense countless stars shining in an endless darkness, and suddenly, a star shines brightly among them.
The feeling was even like a forest witch cultivating a flower field in the woods, where a tender seedling suddenly began to sprout and grow branches, full of vitality.
So this is what it feels like to be a gardener.
Then Lockhart felt the power of the river of time.
Time is a concept that does not exist but is forcibly defined by humankind, and its feeling in the realm of fate is even more complex.
Lockhart seemed to see the lives he had connected with in "Relationship Magic," their lives extending into the endless future along various pathways.
At that moment, one of the lines suddenly jerked, leaping out of its original path and developing in a completely different direction.
It is not that it has suddenly gained the power to leap out of its original path of destiny, but rather that it has embarked on a new journey in life after it has suddenly become richer.
It was as if Ron at this moment was beginning to become a figure whose story would be recorded in future history.
The reasons for this "historical recognition" are also extremely complex. Analyzing it using the "fairy tale" theory, it means that Ron has now embarked on a fairy tale adventure, becoming one of the participants in the great new era of change and being recorded in history.
In an instant, Lockhart suddenly felt a joy that came from fulfilling his sense of mission as a transmigrator. This joy emanated from the deepest part of his soul, and a smile unconsciously and uncontrollably appeared on his face.
look!
I am changing the world!
No! It's not just that! I have always been changing this world, and my arrival has always been affecting everyone. But now, the changes I bring are pushing the wheels of history down a different path. It's putting its power into action!
That's the feeling.
Finally, in this highly complex and layered perception, he could feel as if it were a reward from fate, a gardener's harvest, or the pull of other spiritual beings in the relationship moving forward. He was suddenly filled with the power to move forward.
Lockhart vaguely sensed that he had been endowed with an unknown power, which lay dormant in the depths of his soul in a chaotic manner, waiting to be unearthed.
He vaguely realized that it might be language ability.
"How amazing!"
He couldn't help but marvel.
It was so strange that it reminded him of many fairy tales, in which the characters who were pulled along by the protagonist suddenly possessed great power and amazing deeds, defying their originally mediocre personas.
For example, Peter Pettigrew from the "Raiders" quartet.
Even the contents of those past lives were subtly connected. The place where the emperor rose to power, and the fellow villagers among his companions, all became powerful figures and legendary figures who left their mark on history.
Lockhart was even worse.
He was currently in control of "relationship magic," or, in Voldemort's words, a despicable life thief.
It doesn't matter.
Lockhart was now eagerly anticipating the moment when all the young wizards connected to him would shine in this Triwizard Tournament.
He was like a diligent gardener, standing contentedly by the flowerbed, waiting to harvest the most bountiful fruit.
"How wonderful!" came a meaningful exclamation from the side, one that Lockhart could clearly understand.
It's Grindelwald.
The prophet was gazing intently ahead, his heterochromatic eyes, gleaming with a radiant light, seemingly piercing through Ron on the arena and looking towards a more distant future.
"Yes," Dumbledore exclaimed, "Let us congratulate Mr. Weasley; he has displayed exceptional qualities!"
Old Deng had always thought highly of Ron.
Not just any first-year wizard could handle a giant of the XXXX danger level on their own, especially using a levitation charm.
Many adult wizards cannot do this.
Then the two big shots looked at Lockhart at the same time.
Grindelwald looked at Lockhart meaningfully and chuckled.
"I'm beginning to understand what you've always said about the key to magic being vitality," Dumbledore exclaimed, "and you're suddenly radiating a unique vitality!" Just a few days ago, he and Grindelwald had been marveling at Crabbe's state.
He didn't quite agree with Lockhart's concept of "vitality" before, because in Lockhart's concept of vitality, black magic was no longer a simple, negative category, but was divided into "black magic in a vibrant state" and "black magic without vitality".
However, given Lockhart's ability to cast both the Killing Curse and the Patronus Curse simultaneously, this absurdity forced Dumbledore to take the theory seriously.
Although it is absurd.
For example, Lockhart would say that a lifeless Patronus Charm would erode a wizard's soul and life like dark magic, which is actually referring to Snape.
Or perhaps it would be said that the ominous sign of life harbors a mysterious power, and then suggest that Sirius, who is exploring a new life, should study the mysticism.
This theory makes a lot of sense; it distinguishes between the states of all magic and the casting of spells that are inanimate or inanimate.
However, it causes great harm in real life.
Not everyone can so easily discern the vitality of a spellcasting state. Incorporating dark magic will only lead to its proliferation, creating a large number of corrupted and distorted dark wizards.
This is a rare instance of Dumbledore actively preventing Lockhart from spreading his magical ideas.
This is a magical world that belongs exclusively to magic masters.
The "Flame Cup" Warriors Championship, a three-way battle for supremacy, continues.
Ron clearly got the event off to a great start. The intense and high-intensity combat and the fluid spellcasting in the duels amazed many viewers who didn't have high expectations for "children fighting".
Everyone initially thought it would be a simple turn-based game, with you taking turns attacking, but now it seems to be much more exciting and thrilling.
In fact, many wizards reached their peak during their time at magic school. In other words, even with Ron's current spellcasting abilities, many people in the audience couldn't beat him.
"Drian can be solved with the Antidote!" Harry Potter casually remarked, sparking a discussion among Hermione and the twins, among other members of the Duel Club.
The Cough-Relieving Spell is a healing spell widely used in magic hospitals to treat ailments such as choking in children.
Harry's solution was so ingenious that it surprised everyone, and they all started thinking about their own solutions.
This is the unique style of the Duel Club: Lockhart focuses on teaching one or two people, then lets them mentor newcomers, and everyone shares their knowledge of interesting magic in class, creating an extremely rich academic discussion atmosphere.
Soon, it was Harry's turn to go on stage.
Encouraged by his friends, Harry stood up and saw Draco, who had transferred to Beauxbatons, pointing at him and saying something, before laughing hysterically with Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy beside him.
Harry just gave a cold laugh.
He had absolutely no intention of letting these evil Slytherin brats affect his mindset.
In the Duel Club, Lockhart often privately coached Crabbe and Percy, but he was actually the one with the strictest demands!
Yes, it was him, Harry Potter.
Lockhart often said, "Harry, your talent is so outstanding, you must not waste such a good talent," and then forced him to learn a lot of extremely difficult magic.
He is indeed very talented; as long as he is willing to learn, he can learn any complex magic.
This is absolutely extraordinary. Even among the most outstanding students at Hogwarts, no one else besides him could do this.
Even Hermione, who usually seems very capable and knows everything, can't do it.
The reason he hasn't become arrogant is twofold: firstly, he feels he may never reach Professor Lockhart's level and is filled with awe; secondly, there will always be others who can master some of the high-difficulty spells he has learned.
For example, Draco Malfoy's mastery of the spells Legilimency and Occlumency is no less than his!
During their previous duel club training sessions, he and Draco often practiced as a pair, each trying to extract some private information from the other's head to make fun of the other, but neither of them succeeded.
Harry quickly came up on stage.
The sensation he caused far surpassed that of Ron; many people were screaming for the title "Savior," which he disliked, and this quickly drew shouts from the audience.
If an unknown student (Ron) can perform like this, people are expecting the savior to have some kind of powerful strength.
Well, if it were before, Harry really wouldn't have been able to match the Savior's abilities.
But not anymore.
Harry gripped his wand lightly, his expression calm.
His opponent also came to the ring: Cassius Warrington, a senior Slytherin student, the Chaser of the Slytherin Quidditch team, and a member of the Duel Club.
When Peter Pettigrew was interrogated in the Duel Club, he used a lot of his family's dark magic, and his methods were ruthless and decisive.
This is a formidable opponent!
Under Professor Flitwick's direction, Harry Potter bowed respectfully, showing the other person the utmost respect.
bang~
Fireworks illuminated the scene, then vanished with a deafening roar.
Game start!
Harry waved his wand quickly, choosing to use a simple spell as a test: "Sleep Now, Wonderful World!"
""
Daydream Curse.
This is a spell invented by the Weasley twins, George and Fred, and it's likely one of the culprits behind their numerous failed exams. Its magical effect is to allow them to enjoy a high-quality, incredibly realistic thirty-minute daydream during a dull classroom session.
They shared this magic with the Duel Club.
Professor Lockhart once addressed the fact that this spell directly targets the very source of spiritual life, and then explained the techniques for using the Guardian Charm, which is also a source of spiritual power, as well as how to easily mobilize the power of the Guardian Charm to resist this magic.
This is clearly a very standard probing move in a duel.
Harry can use this spell to quickly confirm whether his opponent is the dark wizard he suspects, so that he can decide whether to choose the "Duel Charm" or "Defense Against the Dark Arts" in the upcoming duel.
His skill with the Guardian Charm was so high that he used the Daydream Charm with such ease, as if it were second nature.
bang~
The tip of the wand sprayed out dazzling and dreamy smoky purple light, like a sparkling fairy wand shooting out many starlight.
These smoky purple specks, trailing eerie blue tails, flew forward like jellyfish. After missing their targets, they fell to the ground, quickly spreading out and flattening before exploding into a smoky purple smoke resembling the smoke from a guardian deity's spell.
Despite the lengthy descriptions, the actual casting of the spell takes only a moment.
As a trial spell, it is characterized by its quick and easy nature.
As Harry finished casting his spell and began waving his wand in preparation for the next one, quickly shifting his position...
Cassius Warrington suddenly went limp in the purplish smoke and collapsed onto the ring with a thud, his head hitting the ground with a loud thud.
"!!!"
Harry was stunned. He stopped in disbelief and stared blankly at his opponent lying on the ground with a daydreaming grin on his face. Finally, he looked at Professor Flitwick.
But Professor Flitwick had somehow retreated to the edge of the arena, warily watching the swirling, purplish-red smoke rising from it. "Merlin's beard... such dense magical power!"
Harry blinked, not quite understanding at first.
so----
Has he unknowingly become so powerful?
Surely it can't be that even Professor Flitwick was impersonating him, right?
"Harry Potter!"
Seeing that Cassius showed no signs of waking and seemed determined to sleep forever, Professor Flitwick finally used a spell to dispel the Daydream Spell, shouting, "Victory!"
The audience was stunned.
Some were still enthusiastically telling others about their experiences visiting the Saviour on Privet Road when he was a child, but they had only just begun their stories when it all ended in the blink of an eye.
I haven't watched it yet!
Is this over?
In fact, even those who witnessed it didn't know exactly what had happened.
Many people are speculating whether that spell was a stun spell.
But soon, a deafening roar of shouts filled the air.
