Chapter 12 Introduction to Alchemy, school starts!
Closer to home, after buying a ton of books, Zicomo is definitely going to see it.
Then the little witch discovered that some novel books that she had never seen before often appeared in her cousin's hands.
She had already previewed the first grade textbooks, pestering Zicomo for new books to read, and kept asking Zicomo where these books came from.
Zicomo was helpless, so he could only make up an unwarranted reason for the wizard pen pal to send him, and by the way, gave her a copy of the senior spell textbook.
The little witch was overjoyed when she saw it, and was addicted to studying with those books in her arms all day long. When she saw something she didn't understand, she ran to ask Zicomo.
Famous teachers produce high-level apprentices. As the apprentice of Teacher Se Lian, Zicomo's teaching ability is naturally not bad.
Under Zicomo's tutelage, Hermione mastered the spell at a terrifying speed.
It also made Zicomo think about pulling Hermione into Ravenclaw.
It started out to keep Hermione away from the mindless lion cubs of Gryffindor, lest she be in danger.
Later, Zicomo thought again, since you Dumbledore can train your savior, why can't I train my little witch?
So, in Zicomo's system backpack, a notebook called "Little Witch Cultivation Plan" appeared.
As for which college Hermione would enter in the end, he just rationally analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the four colleges for Hermione, and left the rest to Hermione to choose.
Sometimes Zicomo wonders, if Hermione enters Gryffindor like the original, will it really become "Hermione and her two useless male classmates" in the end.
…………
Finally, on the last night before school started, Zicomo made his first alchemy achievement - a magic trap.
And it's an improved version.
The prototype of this magic trap is in the Kalia royal family area in the game.
A trap placed on the ground will cause a magical explosion when someone walks into its trigger range.
Zicomo this is a more powerful version. Not only is it convenient to carry, but it can also be used when buried in the ground.
A proper magic mine.
Zicomo tried it with the giants pulling carts on the road next to the Ruins of Post Street. The two giants pulling carts didn't have time to react, so they returned to the embrace of the golden tree.
"Yes, as expected of my apprentice, your alchemy has already started."
"And I have also researched the production method of your stone. This is the scroll of the production method."
"Thank you teacher!" It was a double happiness, Zicomo took the scroll in surprise.
"Good apprentice, we don't have to be so polite between our master and apprentice."
"I also read your improved version of the magic trap. It's a good research direction. What are you going to study next?"
"Next, I plan to study the magic props in the hands of the cuckoo knight."
"It's just west of Lyenia, those guys who smash anything to the ground and shoot pyroxene meteors."
That is, Zicomo can't see Se Lian's expression, otherwise he can see that his teacher Se Lian is looking at him with the eyes of a fool.
"Apprentice... let's just say, do you faders have a prop called a crack pot?"
Hearing that, Zicomo seemed to be stunned by a silent magic from Mr. Selian.
"Fog grass! That's right, how could I forget about this thing!"
Just thinking about fixing the magic version of the grenade next, I didn't expect that I would have it on my body.
"Apprentice, the teacher suggested that you go for a walk and collect runes. If you stay with the teacher, I'm afraid you will be stupid."
"Cough, good teacher. Take care, teacher, I'll go out for a walk!"
After saying that, Zicomo left the underground of the station street as if he had escaped.
No way, it's too embarrassing to make common sense mistakes in front of your own teachers.
…………
The next day, Zicomo was pulled out of bed by Hermione, citing that he was too late to catch the train to school.
He turned to look at the clock on the bed.
Good, six o'clock.
Five hours before the Hogwarts Express departure time as Professor McGonagall said.
"Textbooks, clothes, cauldrons and scales, what else haven't you brought?"
As soon as Zicomo left the room, he saw the little witch fidgeting and talking.
He knew Hermione was nervous.
As for the wizarding world, she has only seen it in books, and now she is about to come into contact with real wizards. She doesn't know how to face it.
Zicomo walked over and took Hermione's little hand and sat down.
"Hermione, don't worry too much. We're just going to school, not some evil dark wizard. Relax!"
‘Actually, if nothing else happens, I can really face the dark wizard this semester. And also the head of the dark wizard. ’
Zicomo complained in his heart.
"Cousin, I'm still worried. The little wizards of the wizarding family have been exposed to magic since childhood. Will I be inferior to them?"
"Haha, so you were worried about this."
"In fact, as little wizards, the magic in our bodies is very unstable. It fluctuates with our emotions."
"And most of the powerful magic in the wizarding world is closely related to emotions, such as the three unforgivable curses."
"For the safety of little wizards, generally wizards will not let their children learn magic in advance. What's more, without the guidance of a wand, little wizards can't use magic at all."
"The most young wizards from wizard families have more knowledge than us."
After figuring out what Hermione was worried about, Zicomo breathed a sigh of relief and spoke comfortably.
"But, I'm not as talented as your cousin. What if I can't keep up with the school's progress?"
If Zicomo didn't know she was really nervous, he would have thought the little witch was in Versailles.
"Please, you've already finished all the first-year texts, and you've even started to learn the magic of the senior years. Are you worried that you won't be able to keep up with the teachers' teaching progress?"
"Or are you doubting your cousin's teaching ability, thinking that what I teach you is wrong? Huh?" Zicomo feigned anger.
"No, no, my cousin taught me well! Thanks to my cousin's help, I was able to master the knowledge in the textbook so quickly!"
Hermione explained quickly.
"That's right, there's nothing to worry about, we're just going to school."
"If you're still nervous, how about I tell you a secret about the sorting ceremony?"
Hermione was no longer nervous when she heard the words, her eyes glowed, and she took Zicomo's hand and said, "Speak quickly!"
Sure enough, no matter what age women are in, they are very interested in gossip and secrets.
"In fact, the so-called sorting ceremony is a hat from one of the four founders, Godric Gryffindor."
"It is called the 'sorting hat'. As long as the little wizards wear it, it will assign them to the most suitable colleges according to their own qualities."
"I don't know when it started, but the wizards tacitly reached a consensus. That is to never disclose the details of the sorting ceremony to the young wizards who have not been enrolled."
"Those senior wizards take pleasure in deceiving young wizards who are not in school."
"They'll even scare unschooled young wizards: 'You're going to fight dragons at the sorting ceremony'."
Hearing this, Hermione chuckled, and she realized that there was not much difference between wizards and ordinary people. At most, it was only the magic that wizards could do. And she's about to become a wizard.
Thinking of this, she began to look forward to her future campus life.
Time passed, and half an hour before the departure of the Hogwarts Express, the Grangers came to platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross.
The attentive Professor McGonagall, like Hagrid, forgot to tell them how to enter the platform.
Mrs. Granger reluctantly told Zicomo and Hermione:
"Children, when you go to school, you must get along well with your new classmates. Remember to write to me every week, and you can tell me anything."
Mr. Granger jokingly threatened Zicomo:
"Take care of your cousin, if something happens to her, I will not have you to eat!"
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Granger was pinched by Mrs. Granger.
"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense."
Zicomo nodded.
"Don't worry, aunt and uncle. I'll take care of Hermione."
After Hermione said goodbye to her parents reluctantly, she dragged Zicomo onto the train.
