Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 321: Security of the Competition

Before entering the wizarding world, Sainz could perform "little spells to fool Muggles", which could be called silent and wandless spells.

After truly coming into contact with the wizarding world, he admitted that if he had not been accepted into Hogwarts, his achievements would certainly have been far less than they are now.

If he had not received the systematic teaching at Hogwarts and had only relied on his own exploration from scratch, he even doubted whether he could defeat a second-grade wizard as an adult. Of course, that was assuming that the wizard did not do anything stupid.

Many people envy the elves for being able to cast spells by just snapping their fingers, but they never think about whether they are willing to just snap their fingers. Don’t they know that casting spells with a wand is more labor-saving and easy?

Why do goblins go to war to gain the right to use wands and the technology to make them? Of course, it is because they know very well that if they cannot master wands, they will always live under the shadow of wizards.

Why was a certain island country able to invade the Eastern power with such great success in the early stages? The quality of its personnel was one aspect, but another important factor was its advanced weapons.

Why did it weaken again later?

On the one hand, the Eastern power trained a group of highly qualified personnel during the long and intense battles. On the other hand, the Eastern power also obtained weapons manufacturing technology during the long and intense battles.

Another thing is that people always hear about this boxing style and that boxing style, but if you look through history, you will find that these boxing styles appeared very late. Why?

The most famous one is a certain boxing style, which is known as taking off the gun and using it as a fist. Why?

If you look back at history, you will know that the reason these boxing styles flourished was because of the imperial court's ban, which prohibited civilians from possessing weapons.

After the imperial court banned weapons, people had to switch from guns to fists for self-defense.

Who doesn't know that you have a better chance of winning a fight if you have a weapon in your hand?

Do you think those old boxers didn't want to hold guns? They were just forced to do so!

In the past life, there was a teacher named Chen who taught unlimited street fighting on the Internet. Sainz agreed with one of his demonstrations very much, "A small key can save you 30 years of hard work!"

The same thing is to pierce through a can. A master who practices finger techniques can do it, and an ordinary person can also do it by picking up a key.

If an ordinary person has a choice, why doesn't he pick up the key instead of poking it with his fingers?

The situation with the magic wand is very similar. Given a choice, why not use a convenient tool instead of making things difficult for yourself?

One of the biggest differences between humans and animals is that humans can use tools.

There's no shame in using a wand!

Similarly, before being able to directly build a "thinking computer" in consciousness using tangible and intangible blank memories as a carrier, it is not shameful to use a "meditation chip" as a temporary substitute!

Since it is the same test chip, wouldn't it be better to just use the memory that carries useful data? So the students found that Sainz started to hang out in the library again, and the speed at which he turned the pages made people doubt whether he could read the words clearly.

Now that Sainz is a professor, he has the right to read all the books in the library. Even though Madam Pince is dissatisfied with his speed in reading books, there is nothing she can do.

Time passed by in the process of enriching himself. Sainz noticed that there was no follow-up to the report about him in the newspaper, but he did not wait for Skeeter's apology.

It seems that this is unconvinced?

In the blink of an eye, it was already late February, and one day Sainz was called to Dumbledore's office.

"Professor Autumn, it's not me who's looking for you, it's Bagman who's looking for you."

"Hello, Professor Autumn"

"Hello Mr. Bagman, how can I help you?"

"Well," Bagman said, "I wanted to confirm with you something about our second project tomorrow morning."

"Oh, no problem. I confirmed it with the mermaid leader, Mercus, two days ago. They are happy to help, and the venue is ready."

A few people talked about some things that needed attention, and seeing that there were no omissions, they went together to build the audience stand next to the Black Lake.

With the help of magic, building these ordinary things is no more difficult than picking fruit from a tree.

The next day, Sainz arrived at the scene early as a security guard for the race. Worried, he went into the water to check it out himself again.

"Good morning, Chief Mercus."

"Good morning, Mr. Autumn. You are too cautious. Don't worry, those Grindylows outside the village are domesticated by us. They won't really hurt those warriors."

"I know, Chief Mercus," Sainz said, "I don't mean to distrust you. I'm just afraid that those warriors will make mistakes. If they make mistakes in the water, please help them. At least don't let them lose their lives."

Chief Mercus smiled cheerfully, "Don't worry, we don't want to cause any trouble. Dumbledore gave us the second test, and we don't want to make it difficult for him."

The hearty smile of the mermaid leader is really ferocious, with a mouth full of yellow fangs and yellow eyes. From a human aesthetic point of view, it is really not a good experience.

Speaking of which, mermaids are not half human, half fish like those in the movies and TV shows of the previous life. They look like both human and fish.

Humans are divided into different races, and mermaids, like humans, are also divided into different populations.

After a long period of adapting to different environments, the appearance of mermaids has changed a lot.

Like the Centaurs, they do not consider themselves human in magical meetings, but classify themselves as "beasts".

The earliest records of mermaids appeared in Greece and were originally called "Sirens".

Until modern times, mermaids living in warm waters gradually developed a more beautiful appearance. These mermaids are closer to the images in literary works and more in line with human aesthetics, while mermaids living in cold waters appear closer to their ancestors.

This is clearly reflected in the appearance of the "Selki" living in Scotland and the "Mello" in Ireland. They are generally iron gray, with messy dark green hair, and their eyes and teeth are yellow. Perhaps because they have been eating raw food for a long time, the teeth of adult mermaids are mostly incomplete.

Mermaids have the ability to breathe air, but they can't maintain it for too long, after all, they are aquatic creatures.

The mermaid tribe living in the Black Lake of Hogwarts is a typical "Selkie". From the perspective of human aesthetics, they look very casually.

Sainz walked back and forth along the path between the warriors' starting point and the mermaid village, checked the obstacles along the way, and seeing that there were no omissions, he thanked the mermaid leader and ascended and left.

After breakfast, the auditorium gradually filled up and the second event of the Triwizard Tournament was about to begin.
