Chapter 12: The First Actual Combat of Magic
Ten o'clock in the evening in the small town of Winton, Edward Orphanage.
"Crookshanks, Dad is going out, don't run around at home!"
Allen picked up his wand, put on some black clothes, said something to a long-haired ginger cat lying on the ground, entertaining himself with its big fluffy tail, opened the window, and got out.
Allen's room was on the second floor of the orphanage, but with his skill, the second floor was not a problem at all. He jumped down easily just by using the window sill on the first floor.
Many children are better at climbing than adults, especially Allen is a child with eight-pack abs, and his strength is not inferior to that of ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys.
The orphanage was already pitch black at ten o'clock, Allen walked through the front yard in the dark, quickly climbed over the big iron gate and left the orphanage.
I chose to experiment with magic at night to earn little red stars, considering that my actions at night are not easy to be discovered, and many crimes generally occur at night.
"Fluorescent flickering!"
Taking out the wand from his arms, Allen whispered a spell, and the tip of the wand suddenly emitted a bright light, which was as bright as a flashlight.
The Wand Lighting Charm is one of the simplest of the fourteen spells that Allen has learned.
However, when he was learning this spell, he saw that there is an advanced version of this spell. Once used, the brightness is comparable to that of a small sun, and it is generally used in small worlds to replace the sun...
This made him think of Newt's suitcase in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life. Maybe the sun in the small world inside the suitcase was made with the advanced spell of this spell.
Therefore, Allen feels that the basic spells he is learning now should not be underestimated. Many subsequent powerful spells may be created based on these low-level spells.
The Edward Orphanage is located in the south of the town, which is a relatively remote location. Allen took a wand to illuminate and walked for nearly 20 minutes before arriving at the centre of the town.
Unlike the orphanage where all the staff have fallen asleep, there are still many small shops open in the town at ten o'clock, especially near the bars in the town, and many well-dressed men and women are coming in and out.
In Allen's impression, crimes are more likely to occur near the bars at midnight, so he has been patrolling around the bars with his wand, and especially turns around those dark alleys with few people.
Unfortunately, he has been patrolling until one o'clock in the morning, and he has not encountered even a single crime. It is just that when he first entered the town, he encountered an old couple who were walking at night and accidentally slipped and fell. It's two o'clock, the little red star.
Reluctantly, he could only go back to the orphanage to sleep and planned to attack again the next day.
Facts have proved that the world of "Harry Potter" is still different from the world of Marvel, especially in a small town where life is not stressful, and it is not easy to encounter a crime.
Go out at ten o'clock every night and return at one o'clock in the morning.
It wasn't until the night before the comeback that Allen finally encountered a small robbery.
It was half past eleven, in a dark alley in the small town of Winton. A young white-collar woman who came home late due to overtime was blocked by a strong white man with a fruit knife.
And this scene happened to he caught Allen, who was patrolling around.
However, he did not immediately appear to rescue the white-collar worker, but hid at the exit of the alley, watching the strong man quietly. After he succeeded, he took the stolen money and necklace in one hand and the fruit knife in the other, and rushed ran towards the alley.
"Flavive!"
Taking out his wand, Allen aimed at a puddle of water at the exit of the alley and threw a Transfiguration Charm. The weather in London is rainy and foggy, and water beaches left by rain can often be seen on the ground.
Hit by the magical light of the Transfiguration Curse, the large puddle of water instantly turned into the super lubricating oil, and the strong man who fled in a hurry stepped on the puddle of lubricating oil as soon as he left the alley.
"Ouch!"
With a slip of his foot, the strong man flew out because of his high speed and fell hard to the ground.
Among the fourteen spells that Allen learned, the transfiguration spell is the most difficult. Other magics generally add certain properties to a certain substance, while the transfiguration spell completely changes one substance into another.
Also, it can be distinguished from all spells and listed as a discipline, and its esoteric level can be imagined. However, not all transformations are so difficult in the Beginner Transfiguration Charm. It is mentioned in the book that if you want to increase the success rate of the transformation spell, you should pay attention to a few points during the transformation.
First of all, it is easier to transform the same substance, such as turning water into wine and water into the oil, which can be easily mastered by young wizards who have just entered the first grade.
As a counter-example, if water is turned into stone and steel, it will be extremely difficult.
However, converting non-living things into living things and converting living things into non-living things is not too difficult a problem, but that requires some learning about conversion spells.
The second is that the smaller the thing, the easier it is to transform successfully, such as transforming a match into a needle, and hair into a thread.
Conversely, it would be very difficult to turn a match into a spear, or a telephone pole. Finally, the simpler the structure, the easier it is to transform successfully. For example, turning a mouse into a snuffbox and a rabbit into a slipper can be done by a first- and second-year wizard.
For example, if you turn an owl into a telescope, is very difficult, even many fifth-grade wizards cannot do it, let alone change a plane, a cannon, or a machine gun, even Dumbledore may not be able to change it.
These are still basic, such as more in-depth transfiguration also involves Gamp's transfiguration law, cross-species transfiguration, human transfiguration, etc., so he needs to go to school to learn slowly.
"Smoky!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the strong man got up before he fell, Allen immediately threw a smoke spell.
Immediately, the area around the strong man was enveloped in a puff of smoke, and Allen rushed into the smoke like a little cheetah.
The strong man on the ground was still in a dazed state after being thrown, but he seemed to sense the presence of a figure in front of him, and quickly grabbed the fruit knife that fell on the ground.
"Get soft fast!"
However, Allen's reaction speed was faster, a softening spell was thrown on the fruit knife, and the fruit knife instantly went limp like noodles.
"Little dragon wagging its tail!"
After getting rid of the biggest threat to himself, Allen mercilessly kicked the head of the strong man who was about to stand up with a whip kick with all his strength.
Allen's strength was no worse than that of an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He kicked the strong man's temple with all his strength and immediately knocked him out.
