From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

The next day is Sunday.

In the early morning, the Hogwarts campus was peaceful.

The summer vacation has just ended, and normal classes have just started yesterday. In the eyes of most little wizards, this day's classes are no different than no classes, so many little wizards still retain the habit of going to bed late and getting up late at home.

On weekends, few diligent little wizards get up early in the morning, and most of them are still asleep.

Of course, this does not include Xiwen, who habitually gets up early for morning exercises.

At this time, Xiwen had already arrived at the lawn northwest of the castle with ease and started his daily morning exercises.

Hogwarts still has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, with only the rustling of wind and grass and the crisp and sweet chirping of birds occasionally ringing out in the Forbidden Forest and lawns...

However, the silence of the castle did not last long——

The harsh sound of sawing wood sounded at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, scaring several forest birds into flying into the air in panic.

Xiven had almost finished his morning exercises at this time, so he curiously walked towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest. He found that the sound came from near Professor Kettleburn's shed.

As expected, the culprit who destroyed the peaceful atmosphere around the castle was none other than Professor Kettleburn!

He was holding a saw with his only intact arm, dragging it back and forth on a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, making a harsh sawing sound.

"Professor, what are you doing?" Sivan looked at Professor Kettleburn's movements dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask. "Why don't you use magic to cut down trees?"

"You don't understand this, it's called the renewable utilization of tree resources!" Professor Kettleburn stopped what he was doing after seeing Xiwen, stuck the saw in the trunk, and freed up the intact tree trunk.

With his right hand, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat.

As he stopped sawing wood, the harsh sounds in the Forbidden Forest immediately stopped, but it was difficult for the atmosphere around the castle to return to the peace and tranquility it had just now.

"So, what is the renewable utilization of tree resources?" Xiwen asked curiously. This was the first time he heard this novel term.

"Let me ask you, do you know what kind of effects will appear on objects that have been affected by magic?" Professor Kettleburn asked.

"What effect? ​​Isn't it something like changing the shape of an object?" Xiwen was a little confused and asked in confusion.

"Of course that's not what I'm asking you!" the professor said proudly. "During the years of working in the Forbidden Forest, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon - that is, trees cut down with magic are difficult to regenerate.

A tree cut with a saw will easily sprout again after a rain."

"You mean...where magic acts, it will damage the original structure of matter, so that trees lose the ability to regenerate?" Xiwen asked.

"Your answer is half right!" Professor Kettleburn showed an encouraging look, and then explained to Xiwen.

"In fact, there should be magic residue at the location where the magic acts, which hinders the growth of new shoots. Generally speaking, you can wait a few more days until the magic at the incision location completely dissipates over time, and new shoots will still grow.

.”

"Then you want to tell me that when we use magic power, in most cases we cannot control it perfectly, resulting in excess useless magic power remaining on other objects?" Xiwen said thoughtfully.

.

"So, if we can perfectly control our own magic power, there will be no unnecessary waste, so as to better save the magic power in the body. Because of this, we may use this to release a few more magic spells and fight

The more you win, the more likely you are to win."

"Professor, this is really an amazing discovery!" Xiwen said to Professor Kettleburn happily as if he had gained a lot.

"Um..." After hearing Xiwen's words, the professor stood aside and blinked blankly. "That's probably what I meant..."

Professor Kettleburn was completely confused now.

Who would have thought that at first he just wanted to warn Xiwen to follow the laws of nature and make rational use of natural resources! But Xiwen actually figured out so many things by himself...

However, the professor's shamelessness in arguing with the principal for so many years was not in vain. He quickly reacted and said righteously: "Very good, worthy of being the first in the grade. He understood so quickly that I wanted to teach

Content for you!”

"Xiao Xiwen, I told you this knowledge without telling anyone else. You can't live up to my expectations!" Professor Kettleburn said earnestly.

Xiwen looked at the professor's exaggerated performance suspiciously and immediately understood the truth of the matter.

"Professor, tell me the truth, have you never thought about this aspect of using magic power at all?" Xiven looked at Professor Kettleburn with sharp eyes and asked.

"Ahaha...how could it be?" Professor Kettleburn laughed awkwardly and chatted with Xiwen. "Xiao Xiwen, we are familiar with each other, but if you slander me like this, I will be angry.

Yes!"

"Okay, then remember to tell Professor Woflin about this academic research and ask him to send it to Magic Theory Weekly for you." Xiwen curled his lips secretly and said.

After Professor Kettleburn nodded proudly, Sivan calmly changed the subject and said to him: "By the way, why did you get up so early to chop down the tree?"

Hearing Xiwen's question, Professor Kettleburn gritted his teeth.

"I get angry when I talk about this!" the professor said angrily. "Xiao Xiwen, do you remember that old guy Herbert promised to let me act in his play? Just last year, when we came back from the Forbidden Forest, we

When I was recuperating in the school hospital."

Xiwen thought for a while, then nodded silently.

"Just remember. I'm telling you, that old guy Herbert is nothing! He said it well at the time, but in the drama performance last semester, he kept saying that my body was not well maintained and I didn't catch up with the first place.

They used the rehearsal as an excuse to not let me participate in the performance."

"That's all. I made an appointment with him for the first rehearsal early this semester. Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, he arranged a position in the props team for me. This made me angry!"

"So you want to cut down the tree to make props for a theatrical performance?" Xiwen asked, looking at the half-cut tree with some speechlessness.

"That's right." Professor Kettleburn said viciously. "Since he won't let me participate in the play, then I have to make the most perfect props. I'll see if he can be embarrassed to refuse me to participate next time!"

Regardless of whether Professor Bierley was embarrassed to refuse Professor Kettleburn's participation in the role, Sivan was not too embarrassed to get involved in the dispute between the two professors, so he had to hurriedly bid farewell to Professor Kettleburn.

"Wait a minute, Xiwen!" Just when Xiwen had turned around and walked back, Professor Kettleburn suddenly stopped him from behind. "Remember to watch my play during the Christmas dinner!"

Sivan disagreed with what Professor Kettleburn, who was just a props team member, said about "his drama", but he still nodded helplessly.

"Professor, what is the name of the play you are going to perform?" Xiwen asked.

"Fountain of Good Luck!"
