"Professor, I don't mean to disrespect you or this class. I really have a problem... maybe there is something wrong with me..." Sean explained with a headache.

Professor Bablin glanced at him. Perhaps Sean's distress was not fake. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a preaching tone: "Mr. Wallop, do you understand what you are saying?"

"Um, Professor? I really don't know what you mean."

Professor Bablin glanced at the time on his watch and spoke faster: "I told you in class that one of the key points of ancient runes is rules. Do you understand the specific meaning of this rule?"

"not understand……"

“Rules are not only reflected in the way of learning and using ancient runes, but the runes themselves are words that follow rules.

"This is a magical symbol that exerts magic according to the rules. In other words, there is no threshold for runes. As long as you can master the correct usage of runes and use the correct arrangement when using them, then you can use this The effect that the symbol can produce will inevitably take effect. The instability we mentioned before comes from the instability of the effect brought by the magic output. How to master the [degree] of this magic output is the difficulty of ancient magic. .”

Sean, who was still suffering from a headache, was a little unresponsive. He hesitated and asked: "Then, does this have anything to do with what I said?"

"Then let me ask you, Mr. Wallop, do you know any other foreign languages?"

"Know some Chinese, Latin, and Spanish."

"Is there a threshold for learning these languages? In other words, will you encounter the situation you just described during your normal learning process?"

"No..." Sean frowned.

Professor Bablin pulled out a piece of parchment and glanced at it, then closed the book and stood up.

"Rune is equal to everyone, at least in the basic stage. To use the most straightforward example, if everyone has a talent value in various magic subjects, this value ranges from one to ten Indicates talent, then, a normal wizard, his talent in Charms may be one or ten, but his talent in runes will never be less than five points. Everyone has enough to support their learning He has the talent to complete the basic runes, as long as he is studying seriously - and you, Mr. Wallop, I just looked at your grades last semester."

She pushed up her glasses: "All subjects are O, which proves that your IQ is normal or even better than average. I can't think of any other reason other than being sick and not serious enough."

Sean was confused. According to Professor Bablin, everyone's rune talent cannot be less than five points. So what's going on with him?

He still clearly remembers that when he first started, his talent for runes was even zero! The two points now are made up for by the lottery...

Seeing the professor who had already stood up and walked towards the classroom door, Sean quickly called out to him: "Professor, you mean that in terms of rune talent, normal wizards are above the average?"

"That's not called the average, it's called the norm. This is a common understanding in the academic community, including Professor Dumbledore. I once taught a student with a brain injury. His learning speed was very slow, and other subjects He often fails the test, even though he works very hard. However, his speed in learning ancient runes is even higher than that of other students. It is not that he is different from ordinary people, it is just that he puts in more study energy. In other words - —”

Professor Bablin gave Sean one last look when he walked out of the classroom: "Rune never rejects anyone."

After saying this, she left the classroom without looking back.

In the empty classroom, only Sean, who looked ugly, and Hermione, who looked worried.

Until the end of dinner, Sean was still thinking about Professor Bablin's words.

Rune never rejects anyone, but he knows his own situation well. He is in good health and full of energy, and there is nothing unserious about his studies.

However, dizziness and headaches always come to the door.

In other words, Rune, who never rejects anyone, rejected himself... This happened even after he had already supplemented Rune's talent!

"What the hell..." Sean ruffled his hair in annoyance, holding the "Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" in his hand.

Maybe it was because I had studied today, or maybe there was something wrong with my mentality. This time, I had a strong headache and dizziness even before I could hold on for twenty minutes.

He originally thought that ancient runes were a very difficult language to learn, but after learning about them today, he finally realized that it was indeed very difficult to master runes, and it was not easy to get started, but there was one thing. There is no threshold - yes, in this idealistic magic system, it has no entry threshold just like foreign language learning in the Muggle world.

This gave Sean a very frustrated feeling.

He also has a talent of only 2 in potions, and his learning speed is also very slow. But as long as he is willing to put more energy into making potions, he can always see some learning results. of.

Only these damn ancient runes...

At this time, Daisy walked over quietly.

She and Hermione looked at each other, pursed their lips and shook their heads.

Because she is pretty, cute and has a good personality, Daisy is very popular. She just went to find a lot of seniors who have taken ancient runes to inquire about the situation.

No one was in a similar situation to Sean, and everyone gave the same message: Although it is difficult, as long as you study seriously, you can master the basic runes as usual.

Sean saw the little actions of the two girls, and he understood the meaning.

Sighing secretly, he smiled at the two of them: "It's not a big deal. Please, don't look at me like this, girls."

Hermione pursed her lips, then raised her brows: "Of course it's not a big deal, and with me here, it's only a matter of time before you catch up."

"Yes, yes." Daisy nodded next to her like a chicken pecking at rice.

I'm afraid this is not a problem that can be solved by tutoring... But Sean didn't show it and accepted the girl's kindness with a smile.

Professor Bablin's theory is also agreed by Professor Dumbledore, which only proves that there is something wrong with him.

The biggest difference between me and others is that [Guilt] lives in my body, and this is probably the reason.

But what Sean doesn't quite understand is why [guilt] causes his rune talent to be so abnormal. It’s not a matter of being low, it’s a matter of being completely disconnected from everyone else.

At this moment, he suddenly missed Grindelwald very much. Dumbledore had been hiding from him. Perhaps only Grindelwald could tell him the answer to this question.

However, you may have to try the items you have drawn.

Lament of the Ancients (gold): Within two hours after use, the user's ability to understand ancient runes will be greatly improved, and at the same time, the user will be inspired to transform ancient spells (the direction and effect of the spell transformation are random), and the cooling time is 720 hours. .

Because the cooldown time was too long, Sean didn't use it in the ordinary introductory course, but he had to use it now. He had to see how much help this so-called 'substantial increase' could bring to him.

There was no class in the afternoon of the next day, so Sean met up with Selma Murphy, a member of the Golden Dawn and a fifth-year Ravenclaw senior.

After hearing Sean's purpose clearly, Thelma's melancholy and beautiful eyes showed obvious confusion: "Professor Bablin is right. Even if you have no talent in other magics, only runes can do it." The door is open to you.”

"The reality is, I am indeed in big trouble..." Sean said with a wry smile.

The two have become quite familiar with each other after several gatherings at the Golden Dawn. Thelma understands the character of the third-year president quite well. She knows that he is not the kind of person who likes to complain without working hard.

She habitually touched the linen scarf she wore all year round, and said slowly: "Professor Bablin's teaching speed is really fast... If it is just an introduction to basic runes, I can use the most detailed I’ll teach you the slowest way to explain.”

Gu

"Thank you so much!" Sean was overjoyed.

Although the archaeologist's daughter seemed to move slowly and gracefully, she acted decisively. She also had no classes in the afternoon and took Sean directly to the empty study room.

In the empty study room, Thelma handed over a notebook: "These are the notes I took when I was in third grade. It should be helpful if used with the textbook."

"Thank you so much!" Sean took the notebook as if he had found a treasure. He did not forget to take a look in the system.

Thelma Murphy's notebook (purple).

He is indeed a rune genius that Professor Bablin greatly admires...

Sean sighed, and then chose to use the sigh of the ancient one.

A strange and strange feeling of coolness slowly came to my mind.

Thelma said softly: "Just start from the basics?"

"Yeah." Sean nodded heavily.

"Then let's start with the first character..."

Two hours later.

There was doubt in Thelma's eyes: "You didn't appear to be in the situation you said. You have a pretty good grasp of the eighteen letters."

The sigh of the ancient one really worked, Sean's eyes were filled with joy.

Thelma's teaching method was more detailed and considerate. He didn't have headaches and dizziness this time, and he understood the meaning of characters much faster.

The smooth feeling when learning magic finally came to ancient runes. Sean compared it himself. Although his speed of absorbing knowledge was not as fast as that of a ten-point talent like Transfiguration, it was better than an eight-point talent. In terms of talent in Charms, it's not much different.

In other words, the Sigh of the Ancient One provided him with at least five points of talent.

He has even begun to have vague inspiration for transforming ancient magic spells.

Upon hearing the other party's question, Sean smiled. He couldn't say that he was cheating.

Just when he was hesitating to answer, he suddenly felt a severe headache and dizziness come over again.

"Hell..." Sean gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Thelma became even more confused: "Is this the situation you said?"

"Yes..." Sean answered with difficulty.

"If I didn't know who you are, I would definitely think you were playing tricks on me." Thelma said softly.

It seemed that the pain and dizziness that should have come slowly accumulated all of a sudden, and Sean even felt like he was spinning.

Lament of the Ancients duration has ended...

Sean swore a lot of curse words that would be silenced, and didn't look up until the uncomfortable feeling eased a little.

Selma's eyes were full of doubts and worries: "Are you feeling better?"

"It's a lot better than before...well...this is my situation. I may be in better condition today. I can usually study normally for half an hour to an hour, and the learning speed is very slow. Today, it's about It was a stroke of luck... Obviously, the negative effects were equally severe." Sean forced a smile.

"This is very abnormal," Thelma said softly, "Such a situation has never occurred in history. To be precise, there has never been any record of how difficult it is to learn runes. Later people's practice has also proved this. a little."

She cupped her chin and stared at Sean: "It's weird... It's like you are allergic to runes... Well, I have an idea, do you want to try it?"

"What?"

"Test it. I know an ancient magic spell with a very weak effect. I can try it on you."

"Well, let's try it."

Thelma took out her wand, a wand over fifteen inches tall, with a curved handle at the side that made it look like an archaeological cane.

She took out another box, dipped her finger in some gold powder and drew a rune symbol in mid-air.

After chanting the spell easily, she pointed at Sean.

"This is a very weak healing spell, and the magic power I output is also very small." She explained.

However, Sean immediately felt his stomach begin to churn, and he felt nausea and vomiting.

Selma, who noticed something strange, immediately stopped the spell: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Sean shook his head. As soon as the spell ended, the uncomfortable feeling immediately disappeared. What's even more strange is that the headache he had just now also eased a little.

In other words, he got the healing effect of this spell, and at the same time got the negative effects derived from the runes...

He told Selma his feelings, and she became completely curious. She kept looking at Sean with excited eyes.

"You might actually be allergic to runes... I can't think of any other way to put it, but this is probably the most accurate... This is amazing, oh my god."

What kind of thing is being allergic to words and symbols... Sean smiled bitterly: "Selma, is there any way to improve it?"

"At least I don't know," Thelma shook her head. "Maybe you have to go to Professor Dumbledore. He is the master of ancient runes and knows a lot of ancient information that the academic community does not know."

The problem is that I can't find it...

Sean sighed. The Ancient One's sigh has a full 720 hours, which is a month of cooling time. With this, he can't study normally at all.

"Sigh... I will try to find out the problem. Thank you for today, Thelma. If you need my help with anything, come to me anytime."

"Is that okay?" Thelma blinked with her big melancholy eyes.

"Of course."

"Then, when your headache is gone, can I ask you a favor?"

"sure."
