After giving his ignorant roommate a good beating, Tom was able to vent a lot of his depressed emotions.
He ordered the three of them to wash up and go to bed as quickly as possible, and only entered the study space after the dormitory was quiet.
"What took so long?"
After the dinner, Tom closed the study space, and Andros naturally didn't know what happened next.
When Tom sighed and explained the whole thing, Andros laughed.
"It seems that reality is more magical than what is described in books. Pure blood? Bloodline means nothing in front of strength."
"Tom, you did a good job today. You must be decisive when it is time to strike. If you strike too lightly, it won't serve as a lesson or deterrent, and if you strike too hard, it will alarm the teacher. This is just right now."
"It's not that simple."
Tom shook his head slightly. "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see. There will be more troubles later."
The boy sighed, "I just want to study hard, why do you have to make me come to Slytherin?"
Andros sneered, "Boy, I didn't want to tell you before because I respected your choice, but after reading so much information about Hogwarts, I realized that Slytherin is the most suitable college for you."
???
"Why?" Tom asked puzzled.
Andros crossed his arms and explained in a serious tone: "Knowledge is very important to wizards, but throughout history, including after my death, I can guarantee that no wizard has become the strongest by relying on pure accumulation of knowledge."
Then he pointed to his brain and said, "Do you know what is the most important thing for a wizard?"
Tom answered without hesitation: "Magic and will, when combined, guided by magic spells, can change reality."
This time it was Andros' turn to shake his head: "You missed one more, emotion."
Tom was puzzled: "Isn't will just emotion?"
This most basic theory has been mentioned in more than one book, but no book has ever distinguished between will and emotion.
Andros smiled, and the rarely used wand appeared in his hand again, raised above his head.
"Expecto Patronum!"
The giant guardian god appeared with a strong sense of oppression. Andros spoke, and the giant guardian god also spoke, and the voices resonated.
"Powerful magic, strong will, and abundant emotions."
"Magic power is the root of everything. It is the foundation of your spells. Willpower affects the success rate of casting spells. A more determined intention can guide magic power to complete the transformation. Emotions... determine the upper limit of a spell!"
"Remember, Tom, magic is subjective. Even though the mind is infinite, it must have something to rely on. This support is emotion."
"Qualifications are important, but people with abundant emotions can often break through their own limits and reach incredible heights."
"The trouble these Slytherin people caused you is a test for you to find the perfect balance between your will and emotions. Cherish this opportunity."
Andros's voice was so deafening that Tom froze in his tracks.
Because what Andros said was both shallow and profound. Tom could understand his shallow words, but he touched upon the essence of magic, which was difficult to understand, absorb, and transform into his own perception.
Tom entered his transcendental state for the first time to absorb and digest Andros's teachings.
Ten minutes passed silently, and the boy's lifeless eyes gradually recovered. There was an indescribable meaning on his body, and his eyes became more lively.
He also imitated Andros and raised his wand:
"Expecto Patronum!"
Silvery-white mist gushed out, and as his thoughts progressed, it gradually took shape into a human form. However, compared to Andros's patronus with clear features and a huge body, Tom's patronus could only barely show the outline of a human.
Its size is not much bigger than his own.
But even so, Andros was particularly surprised.
As early as the third day of learning the Patronus Charm, Tom had already reached the level of condensing a physical Patronus, but was broken up by Andros himself.
The reason is that once the form of the guardian god is fixed, it will take a lot of effort to change the form and become a special guardian god like him.
Andros also went through a lot of hardships to succeed, so he naturally would not let Tom take the same detour as him.
The most difficult step is to preliminarily determine the form of the guardian.
This time, Andros just wanted Tom to adjust his mindset and not think about studying all the time, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected benefit.
[Teacher 'Andros''s recognition of the host has reached 50%, and the reward is being drawn... The drawing is completed. ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent 'Absolute Justice']
[Absolute Justice: The host's non-black magic attack spell power is amplified, and the degree of amplification increases according to the host's magic power growth. ]
[The first private teacher's approval reaches 50%, unlocking the "Practice What You Want" function. ]
[Practice by example: The teacher can use the host's body to perform magic to improve teaching efficiency.
The duration is limited to five minutes.
For every point of recognition, the duration is extended by ten seconds.
The cooldown time is 24 hours. (The host can cancel this state at any time and gain control of the body)]
As soon as the reward arrived, Tom's patronus visibly expanded and grew in height to two meters.
Andros didn't know that Tom could not only receive his teachings, but also suck his blood... no, use his talent. He was still lamenting that Tom's talent was much stronger than he judged, and he had misjudged it.
After recalling the wonderful feeling when summoning the humanoid guardian, Tom stopped outputting magic power.
Although the extraordinary mode had been exited, there were still some wonderful inspirations left. He didn't dare to waste them, and began to ask Andros about the new questions that had just popped up.
Even elite Aurors cannot answer these questions. Most Aurors are just a group of people who are good at using "techniques", which does not mean that they can easily come up with theories.
And it was nothing to Andros.
In their era, the development of magic had not yet taken shape. If one wanted to reach a certain level in magic, one had to study and comprehend all the theoretical knowledge by oneself.
So don't be fooled by his appearance of a violent warrior and his extremely belligerent personality, but strictly speaking, Andros is actually a master in the academic school.
An hour later, the two finally stopped.
Andros taught Tom two more spells. These were not new magics he had learned recently, but two 'ancient' magics, but they were both relatively simple.
One is used to detect whether there is poison in the food, and the other is a trap trigger spell. If someone wants to launch a sneak attack, it will be triggered to form a protective shield.
Tom memorized the spell and exited the study space.
The other three people in the dormitory were already fast asleep, but Tom couldn't fall asleep.
He has fully realized the power of the extraordinary state. At certain critical moments, ten minutes can be equivalent to ten days or half a month of hard training.
Looking at the more than 300 credits in the system, Tom sighed.
When will I become rich?...
