Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Legendary item?”

“Rare spell?”

“A potion that can directly increase attributes? Does such a thing exist in the world?”

The young wizards' pupils glowed one by one, their eyes widened with excitement, Anduin's words aroused endless reverie in everyone.

“The premise is that you can clear the dungeon, and it must be a formal dungeon.” Anduin added, “In addition, the points system is currently only a benefit within the club, so please keep it confidential.”

Adding reward redemption for everyone was mainly to stimulate the enthusiasm of the young wizards for training, which also drew on the redemption model of the Silver Spear Duel Club.

Of course, Anduin wouldn't tell everyone that most of the prizes in the system were actually stock items squeezed by the Silver Flash Trading Company.

These include a large number of tactical equipment from before the upgrade. Of course, there will also be some good things inside, but redeeming them is not easy.

As for those spells, they are basically obscure magic that he collected from the Silver Spear. These magics are relatively useless to Anduin, but it would be a waste to just leave them there.

The only thing, those potions, can indeed directly improve attributes as he said. After all, they are by-products developed by Anduin using life energy when studying the Philosopher's Stone.

Although it costs Anduin almost nothing, it is indeed very precious to the outside world.

In addition, these potions actually have certain defects. They can only work on wizards with low attributes. Not to mention Anduin, even for adult wizards with strong physical fitness, they are not much different from ordinary tonics.

After this potion was developed, Anduin didn't pay much attention to it and almost cleaned it up as a defective product.

Later, it was Hogg who came up with this idea, so that it could be used reasonably.

The young wizards nodded repeatedly to Anduin's instructions. They naturally knew what the professor meant. This meant that the points system could only be enjoyed by these club members, at least in the short term.

Thinking of this, everyone rubbed their fists, eager to rush into the new dungeon and show off their skills.

After the end of the dinner, Anduin did not continue to discuss issues related to the system. Instead, he examined the results of the young wizards' summer training as in previous years. He planned to leave everyone with a little mystery.

After the gathering that night, to be honest, Anduin was not very satisfied with everyone's gains in the past two months. Many young wizards did not follow his instructions at the end of the last semester.

Sure enough, once they entered the holiday, these children began to let themselves go, but this is not surprising, after all, even Harry and Neville have relaxed a lot.

It's just that some of them didn't even complete the mental training method according to the standard.

Of course, there are those who perform poorly, and naturally there are those who perform well. Among the twenty club members, only Percy, Hermione, and Draco were able to complete the daily standard training volume, and even take the initiative to do extra training.

To be honest, Anduin was quite surprised to see this result. He could imagine Percy and Hermione, after all, these two children have always been quite active and have the greatest desire to become stronger.

But Draco, as the young master of the Malfoy family, actually behaved so diligently, which really made Anduin look at him with admiration. For this reason, Anduin couldn't help but focus more attention on this child.

After the end of the club gathering, a group of young wizards officially began their new school year at Hogwarts.

In the first month after the start of school, the young wizards suffered two blows.

One of them was this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Lockhart, with his fairly good appearance and the identity of a well-known writer, gained the admiration of many female students in the school, and also harvested the hatred of a large number of male students.

But his course can be described as a disaster. In the first class, he released a cage of Cornish Pixies, causing chaos in the classroom.

Then Lockhart irresponsibly asked Harry, Ron, and Hermione to clean up the mess, while he hid back in the office.

In the following courses, Lockhart, in addition to sparing no effort to brag to the students, asked the young wizards to praise him in various ways.

This made most of the young wizards tired of it. Many people have realized that this new professor is a straw bag with nothing but a superficial appearance. Many of the female students who originally admired him have gradually changed their attitudes, including Ginny.

As Anduin's darling, Ginny has actually been in contact with many outstanding people with her godfather, but she has never seen anyone as fame-seeking as Lockhart.

It's just a pity that there are still many people who still have illusions about this new professor, such as Hermione. She firmly believes that the other party is a wizard who hides his secrets, because the heroic deeds in Lockhart's works are too real, making it difficult to imagine that they are fabricated.

And besides Lockhart, the other thing that hit the students hard was Anduin's new dungeon [Despair Town].

The intensity of this dungeon can no longer be simply described as difficult.

The gloomy environment in Despair Town, the vast area, the harsh Fear value setting, the strangely appearing enemies, the complicated task flow, and the extremely high intensity of the monsters, left a deep psychological shadow on everyone who entered for the first time.

Therefore, in the first week of the start, there was not a single team in the entire Hogwarts that successfully cleared the dungeon. Most people were cleared out of the dungeon before they even saw the second stage.

Even Harry's team, who had made preparations in advance, was no exception. When they were carrying out the first task to find the third Revelation Document, the unformed team was completely annihilated by the massive number of monsters.

Even after they were all killed and teleported out of the dungeon, they almost didn't react.

Among them, Harry, Neville, and Hermione could clearly perceive that the difficulty of the dungeon had not become more difficult than the last time they entered.

But when they faced those enemies again, the pressure they felt was maddening.

And after several people carefully studied and reviewed, they finally realized where the problem was.

First of all, for Harry and his party, being able to stumble through the dungeon, or say, carry out the task to the final stage, was mainly relying on Snape's help.

It should be said that Harry and the others had previously underestimated Snape's strength and his importance to them in the dungeon.

Due to Snape's powerful reaction and combat power, as well as his superb spellcasting ability, he was able to clear most of the obstacles before everyone realized the danger.

In particular, the extremely destructive spells used by Snape on the spot can quickly and extensively harvest enemies.

Therefore, when Harry and the others faced the enemy head-on, the danger had been weakened a lot.

Like when everyone entered again, they found that those seemingly ordinary combat power [Demon Servants], after the number formed a certain scale, could explode with very exaggerated combat power.

This made it impossible for the few people who had not yet completed their arming to resist.

At the same time, they also found that due to several changes that Anduin added to [Despair Town], the dungeon rhythm was much faster than last time.

This can greatly shorten the challenge time of each team, but it also caused a lot of problems.

In the past in [Despair Town], the most time-consuming things were actually traveling and spending Fear value at the campfire.

In the new version of [Despair Town], the longer the survivors stay, the faster the Fear value increases, almost every 10 minutes, the natural growth rate will increase by 50%.

In order to solve this problem, Anduin shortened the speed at which the fire source reduces Fear value. Now, you only need to stay by the campfire for about a minute to clear the Fear value.

At the same time, Anduin also added a large number of cars for them to travel, and he also thoughtfully placed driving tutorials in the vehicles.

But even so, the young wizards couldn't get started so quickly. When they entered for the first time, they wasted a lot of time just learning to drive.

Therefore, in the subsequent battles, the speed of Fear value increase was ridiculously fast. It was easy to be possessed by demons while fighting.

Moreover, because the dungeon rhythm has been accelerated several times, they can't get too much rest time. Like the previous time, resting or traveling at the campfire can actually restore a lot of state.

But now there is no way to do it. Due to the urgency of time, they often engage the enemy when their state is not complete. This is also the reason why everyone has a very difficult time fighting.

At the same time, the terrifying atmosphere in [Despair Town] this time also brought a lot of psychological shadow to everyone. Before, with Snape by their side, he was actually invisibly emboldening Harry and the others. It was like having a parent to rely on.

But after entering this time, they could clearly feel their helplessness, even if they had experienced it once before.

The most intense reaction was Draco. After this guy went to [Despair Town], he had nightmares for several days in a row, and the whole person became a lot dazed.

Even Harry's team, who had experienced [Despair Town] once, was in this state, let alone others.

Many young wizards, after experiencing [Despair Town] once, were too scared to step into it again. Even watching the live broadcast at the training ground required a group of people to embolden each other.

There was no way, that damn place was too scary.

And the performance of those older students was not much better than that of the younger students. All the first two challenges ended in failure.

It wasn't until a month had passed that Percy led his team to complete the first clearance of [Despair Town].

At the same time, because the difficulty of the new dungeon was well known, this wasteland reclamation was also extremely valued by the students. On the day of the clearance, a large half of the students at Hogwarts gathered in the live broadcast square and cheered for Percy's team in unison.

Even several days later, everyone was still talking about the grand occasion of that day. The students had been suffering from [Despair Town] for a long time, and they were all looking forward to the emergence of a team to break through this barrier that had plagued everyone for a long time.

Therefore, when Percy's team fought to only two people left, and barely guarded the [Exorcism Book] within the specified time, a cheer that lasted for several minutes erupted in the live broadcast square.

At this moment, Percy, Penelope, Wood, and others almost became heroes in the eyes of all the students.

Even in Hogwarts Castle, you could hear the continuous cheers and shouts.

This made a group of professors couldn't help but sigh, what kind of monster did Anduin create? It actually made that group of young wizards more excited than Voldemort's death.

And Lockhart, this show-off, after hearing the bursts of cheers, actually shamelessly ran to the training ground to rub Percy's heat, and even tried to give a plausible speech in the training ground.

But the young wizards who were excited didn't buy it. They used the butterbeer and various candies in their hands to scatter on Lockhart in the name of celebration.

Making this elegant professor look like a clown, and Lockhart had no choice but to slip back to the castle in despair.

At this time, in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was also happily lying by the window, watching the noisy scene in the distance.

“Hogwarts hasn't been so lively in a long time.” Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Anduin behind him, “I didn't expect the dungeon you created to be so popular.”

“It's just another kind of toy. After a while, their enthusiasm will fade away.” Anduin shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the old man in confusion, “By the way, that Lockhart looks like just a show. I haven't seen him cast a few spells during his lectures.”

“But the stories in that guy's books are very plausible, but you can't see any connection with him at all.”

During this period of time, Anduin had read Lockhart's books. The content inside did not seem to be fabricated, but when he thought of that guy, he would always feel a sense of incongruity.

“Lockhart is actually a very smart child, and he is smarter than most students, but his biggest shortcoming is that he is unwilling to try unless he is the best.” Dumbledore said with some emotion.

“Lockhart can achieve good results. In fact, as long as he is diligent and hardworking, he may achieve a career of his own, although it may not reach the ambitions he claims.”

“Therefore, he let vanity lose himself. He does not study for the sake of receiving education, but to win attention for himself.”

“Until now, he has become accustomed to using fraud to win attention for himself. When he travels, he deceives accomplished wizards and witches into revealing their greatest deeds, and then erases their memories.”

“This is also the origin of his works. The content is true, but it is not his own.”

“And I happen to know two wizards whose memories were erased by Lockhart, so I know what happened.” Dumbledore sighed softly.

Anduin nodded suddenly, and then looked at Dumbledore in confusion, “In that case, why did you let him enter Hogwarts? What can you learn from this vain and fame-seeking person?”

“As long as you put him in an ordinary school life, his lies will be exposed naturally.” Dumbledore smiled slightly, “And you can learn a lot from a bad teacher, such as what not to do, what kind of person not to be.”
