Chapter 55: 55. Manaflow Band, Shield Of Aegis, Dynamic Perception!
Ten black cards appeared in Wayne's thoughts, each glowing with its light.
There were six white cards, three blue cards, and one purple card.
White cards offered basic rewards, such as galleon and various potion materials. These were easily obtainable in the market, so Wayne ignored them.
The three blue cards contained magic spells: armor protection, thunderbolt explosions, and flying spells. Wayne had already mastered these spells and had a deep understanding of them.
Upon examining the panel, Wayne found that he had reached the advanced level in all three spells. The only level higher than this was the master level.
However, reaching the master level did not mean the spell was at its limit. For example, Harry was able to defeat Voldemort using only one Expelliarmus spell, and he used it with greater power than anyone else.
The path of magic had no limits.
Lastly, there was the purple card. As the purple light dissipated, Wayne read its content and found it strange.
The card was called [Talent Witchcraft: Manaflow Band]. Wayne wondered if this was a skill from League of Legends.
He read the skill introduction and discovered that the Manaflow Band was a passive talent in the Witchcraft system. It permanently increased the total amount of magic power and the recovery speed of magic power whenever a kind of magic reached an advanced level.
Wayne was delighted by this discovery. In the magic world, there was no known way to improve one's magic power. It could only grow naturally with age and time, depending on talent.
Wayne's magic talent was SS level, and his current magic level was no less than that of most seventh graders who were about to graduate. However, who wouldn't want to have unlimited firepower?
After merging his talents, Wayne felt an instant improvement in his magic power. While the gains from the Manaflow Band would not continue to expand as more magic reached advanced levels, it had unlimited potential.
Realizing the benefit of this card, Wayne eagerly shouted, "Keep drawing cards!" There are ten cards again. This time, the purple reward is the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.
The third round drew an extremely powerful defensive spell, the Shield of Aegis.
According to ancient Greek mythology, Zeus had a shield made from the fur of the goat Amalthea. This shield, created by Hephaestus, the god of fire, not only possessed the divine power of Zeus but also incorporated the head of the snake demon Medusa at a later stage.
Zeus gave this shield to Athena when she was born, and she carried it while conquering all directions.
Given that this spell borrows its name from mythology, its power shouldn't be underestimated.
Regular armor can defend against most magic spells but not the killing curse. If the opponent's magic power is too strong, it will send the caster flying.
However, the Shield of Aegis can even protect against the killing curse. As long as the caster has sufficient magic power, they will be invincible.
With this spell, Wayne's safety is guaranteed.
The fourth round received the weather spell, which allowed them to command wind, rain, and thunder.
The fifth round received an advanced magic potion formula, the thinking potion. This potion can increase thinking speed and brain activity.
Wayne's face looked grim.
"I can only withdraw with a guaranteed guarantee."
He was only 60 units short of the guaranteed withdrawal amount. He drew one card during the summer vacation and two after starting school just for fun.
This happened nearly a hundred times.
"System, continue to draw ten times in a row."
A golden light filled the entire screen and then faded. Among the nine remaining cards, two were purple and three were blue.
Wayne couldn't wait to open the golden card.
[Congratulations, host! You have received the high-level reward of Observation Haki. After localized modifications, it has been optimized into: dynamic perception.]
[Dynamic Perception: You can detect the aura of surrounding creatures, and your observation abilities are greatly enhanced. Once mastered, you can even predict the future for a short time.]
It's neither a powerful spell nor a template that can enhance your talent. Instead, it is an auxiliary ability. However, Wayne believes that it is no worse than the advanced template.
A wizard duel is not as simple as standing still and casting spells. Avoiding or countering the enemy's spells relies on experience and reflexes. With dynamic perception, Wayne can anticipate the enemy's every move and detect even the slightest movements. Even Voldemort, who is impervious to magic spells, is still vulnerable. If you can't defeat him, could you still wear him down?
By closing your eyes and attuning to dynamic perception, you can gain information about your surroundings. This is a status magic similar to the Light Body Spell. It doesn't consume much magic power, but it is quite difficult to learn. Thanks to systematic training, Wayne's proficiency in this magic has reached the intermediate level. However, to advance further, he must practice diligently on his own.
Using dynamic perception, Wayne can sense the wind's direction outside the skylight and hear the bustling sounds of over a hundred students in the common room. He can even see the flapping wings of a mosquito on Toby's suitcase. His vision, hearing, insight, and sixth sense are all enhanced. In this magical world where most wizards need to recite spells to cast them, his observational ability is akin to predicting the future.
"Sweet!" Wayne murmured, filled with joy and craziness. Only then did he remember that several other cards had not been opened. Two of them are purple, one containing a bottle of Felix Felicis and the other containing a black magic fire spell. After sixty draws, his strength has greatly improved. He has advanced several magic spells to higher levels and the Manaflow Band has been passively activated, significantly increasing his total magical power. In addition to learning advanced magic, he has also learned several black magic spells and the Shield of Aegis, expanding his repertoire. With the final addition of dynamic perception, Wayne is eager to test his newfound strength.
As he pondered, he thought of the perfect testing ground.
—Gryffindor dormitory.
It was already half past eleven at night. Hearing Seamus and Dean's snores, Harry opened his eyes and asked softly, "Ronald, are you asleep?" Ronald's voice responded along with the sound of changing clothes, "Of course not. I've been thinking about how to deal with Malfoy later."
"How about punching him in the nose before his spell takes effect?" Harry suggested.
Ronald chuckled, "Why not give him a hard kick down there?"
"You're so ruthless. Old Malfoy will surely retaliate and hurt you."Harry and the other person changed clothes before quietly going to the lounge. The lounge, usually lively, was now unusually quiet, with only the crackle of the fireplace breaking the silence. Since no one was in the lounge, Harry and the other person breathed a sigh of relief and left.
They were startled when they saw Neville huddled in a corner. He seemed to be retracting but stopped when he saw who it was.
"Oh, thank goodness! Did you notice I wasn't in the dormitory and come looking for me?" Neville said.
"I forgot the password to the lounge and got locked out," he continued.
This revelation shocked Harry and the other person.
"Sorry, we didn't notice," Harry replied. "The password is 'pig's nose,' but you can't use it now." He pointed to the empty picture frame, indicating that the portrait was absent.
"What do we do?" Neville asked anxiously.
"Come with us," the other person, Ronald, said. If Malfoy had two followers, they might need Neville as backup.
Although they doubted Neville's magical abilities, he could at least serve as a human shield.
Confused, Neville asked, "Where are we going?"
"It's too late to explain. You'll be late if you don't leave now," Harry rushed, grabbing Neville's arm and leading him downstairs.
Along the way, Neville's mouth dropped open in disbelief when he learned they were going to duel.
"This goes against school rules! I can't let you do this. You'll be expelled!" Neville protested.
Harry didn't expect this outburst from the usually honest and plain Neville. Suddenly recalling something he heard Wayne say to Hermione, Harry cleared his throat.
"Neville, you don't want your grandma to find out you can't even remember the password, do you?"
Reluctantly, Neville followed them, scared of the consequences with his grandmother.
When they arrived at the trophy room, Malfoy and Crabbe were already waiting. Malfoy's expression changed slightly when he saw that there were three of them.
"Potter, you're not adhering to Duel ethics, and you agreed to only bring one assistant!"
Harry, who was walking briskly, took two rough breaths and explained, "Neville is the person I met on the road, and Ronald is assisting me."
Upon hearing this, Malfoy's expression softened significantly.
The atmosphere grew even more tense, and both men drew their wands.
"The Duel can only be Started if I shout '321,' do you understand?"
Due to Ronald's recent reading on dueling, he was familiar with the process and temporarily acted as the host.
"3!"
As soon as the number left Ronald's lips, he couldn't contain himself any longer.
Harry and Malfoy both twitched, raising their wands and aiming at each other, as if they had a telepathic connection.
"The front teeth match the stick!"
"Grinning and cheering!"
Both of them engaged in an exceptionally lengthy duel.
Suddenly, Malfoy's front teeth protruded past his lips and reached his neck. Harry burst into uncontrollable laughter, unable to even stand up straight, let alone continue the incantation.
But their magical power was insufficient, causing the spell's effect to fade away in less than a minute.
Harry was the first to return to normal. Before Malfoy could recover, he swung his wand and charged forward, ruthlessly targeting his vulnerable spot.
"Oh~!"
Malfoy cried out in both pain and pleasure, accidentally knocking his head against Harry's chin, resulting in a bitten tongue.
The scene descended into chaos, with the magic duel coming to an end and a fierce physical battle ensuing.
Fearing that Harry would be at a disadvantage, Ronald seized the opportunity to kick Malfoy twice. Crabbe witnessed this and joined in the fray.
Crabbe's strength was double that of Ronald's, which was advantageous for him.
Later, Neville, in tears, rushed to help, but Crabbe's weight prevented him from getting up.
The five individuals struggled together, their screams blending into a cacophony. It was impossible to discern whose tears were mingled with sweat.
Suddenly, Filch's voice echoed through the air.
"Who's there?!"
Hearing the sound, the five individuals all trembled in unison.
Harry quickly removed his hand from Malfoy's mouth and stumbled to his feet.
"Ronald! Neville, run! Filch is here!"
At that moment, Malfoy, unconcerned with the consequences of his actions, pushed open the door and bolted out.
Two groups of people raced up and down the stairs. Filch shouted:
"Stop running! I've seen your faces. Cease now and seek mercy!"
No one paid him any attention. Filch hesitated for a moment before pursuing them up the stairs.
The individuals running downward were either Slytherins or Hufflepuffs. The basement was too close, and Filch worried they would reach the lounge before he caught up. But if you want to go to the tower, the road in between will be long.
Naturally, the three Harrys also knew that Filch was coming toward them, so they rushed forward and found a random classroom to hide in.
The house leaked, and it rained all night. Unexpectedly, I randomly picked a classroom and bumped into Pippi.
At this time, Peeves was scribbling on the gangster paper. When he saw the three little wizards, he threw the chalk away in excitement.
"Look what I saw, three little first graders who didn't sleep and wandered around!"
"Please," Harry begged. "Filch is looking for us, please keep your voice down."
"This is for your good, um, you know?" Peeves said mischievously. "If I go to find Filch, what punishment will you receive?"
"Get away!" Ronald pushed him fiercely and got into trouble.
"Students don't sleep!" Peeves yelled, trying to lure Filch over. The three of them ran out of the classroom again, running wildly and hitting a door.
"It's over! The door is locked!" Ronald said desperately.
"Do you know any magic spells? Open it quickly!"
"Unlocking spell, but I don't know how to do it."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the noise from Peeves made the three of them more and more frightened and desperate.
Neville was already fantasizing about what he would do after being expelled. It seems like a good idea to plant flowers and raise grass at home.
Ronald was unwilling to twist the handle frantically, trying to break the door.
With a click, the door opened.
"Come in quickly!" Harry roared, and the three of them rushed in, hearing a helpless voice in their ears.
"I said, you just go out at night. Do you want to wake up the professor by making such a big noise?"
"No, we just..." Harry answered subconsciously before realizing the problem.
Why are there people here?
And the voice is so familiar!
"Wayne? Why are you here?"
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out to eat." Wayne walked out of the darkness, and Harry and the three of them opened their eyes wide.
Not because of Ronald, but because...
"Wayne! Watch out for what's behind you!"
Behind Wayne, a huge three-headed dog was looking at them eagerly.
Neville was about to pee.
"Don't worry, fluffy has had enough activity today." Wayne snapped his fingers, and the surrounding area lit up instantly.
He looked at the trio of idiots with a confused look on his face.
I haven't even learned the lock-picking spell. Without Hermione, we are indeed two useless men.
