In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

  Chapter 72 71. Gesture casting

  The classrooms where Mudbloods study are naturally separated from other students.

   It's just that the location is finally not in the basement, but in a separately planned remote area on the first floor of the castle. There are basically no people here, and it's just their classroom.

  No one dared to be late for the first class. Jon and the others were already waiting in the classroom almost twenty minutes earlier.

  They don't even have a class schedule, and there is only one place where classes are held. The prefect will be responsible for notifying when there will be classes in the first week, and the next semester will follow this week's timetable.

   Three minutes before class started, a dark-skinned adult witch walked in from the door.

   This is the professor who is usually in charge of teaching them spellcasting classes—Aurora Sinista.

  Jon is somewhat familiar with this name. She should be a certain professor who appeared in the original Hogwarts, but there are few related descriptions about her, which makes Jon not very impressed.

   It is not surprising that she can still continue to teach in Hogwarts Castle. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of some people who have little relationship with them.

  Compromise is actually the choice that people make the most.

"It seems that you should have completed the spell-casting requirements I assigned you before the holiday." After entering the classroom, she glanced at the status of all the students present, and then said that it was not too harsh and harsh. He said in a calm tone, "Don't forget what I told you at ordinary times. If you feel uncomfortable and depressed, you should cast spells a few more times, and it will make you feel better."

   When she said this, her voice paused, and then she sighed softly.

   "No matter what kind of environment you live in, how hard or tired you are, at least being able to continue living is much better than dying silently, isn't it?"

"Last semester, we spent a whole school year learning how to use gestures to control the magic in our bodies. Your progress has basically reached the standard where you can barely try to learn real magic, so starting from this semester, I I will teach you the first incantation—cleaning incantation. Mastering this will also make your future work easier.”

  The spellcasting she talked about is not actually using magic in the true sense.

According to the description provided by Dumbledore to Jon, in order to prevent the mudblood from being bullied too much by Voldemort, coupled with not giving them a wand so that they cannot learn normal magic, the magic power in the body has been suppressed and accumulated. Become a powerful black magic creature like Moran, and arrange spellcasting lessons for them in normal times.

  In this class, a professor will teach them how to use gestures, a spell-casting method that has long been eliminated in Europe, to guide and release the magic power in their bodies.

Not all ancient things are powerful. The way of learning magic, such as gesture casting, has been eliminated for thousands of years. Except for some African tribal wizards who have similar customs, almost no one in the world will take the initiative to learn This method of casting spells.

Because compared with wands, gesture casting is not only difficult to learn, but also the magic used is more than a little weaker, and the pronunciation of spells is quite different from the complete and mature wand casting system in the magic world. There are only a few spells It is still circulating in this era.

  But if Mudbloods are allowed to learn this method of interpretation, the disadvantages mentioned above will become advantages instead.

Without the need for a magic wand, the magic power accumulated in the bodies of these enslaved mudbloods can be released, and there is no need to worry that there will be students with too strong talents among them who will be difficult to control in the future. The spells released by gesture casting are generally more effective than magic wands. The effect of casting spells is much worse.

   This fits perfectly with Voldemort's need for Mudblood oppression.

The original purpose of Hogwarts Castle was to provide a place for children who were oppressed in witch hunts in the Middle Ages and did not dare to show their magical talents to learn magic and channel magic. Nothing has changed, only the motivation for this purpose has undergone an ironic change.

And what Sinista taught the first-year students last semester was a simple spell-casting gesture. This is not a specific magic. It was created to guide the magic power in the wizard's body into reality. Any change is completely random.

  Sometimes a puddle of water appears out of thin air, sometimes it will make them have an extra piece of grass or some plant fruit on their hands, and sometimes it just makes them clean.

".According to what I taught you last semester, every movement of the spell-casting gesture must be precise. The cleansing spell cast by the gesture is 'spotless'. When chanting the spell, the left hand should be swung upwards, not too large, Just like what I am demonstrating now, the right hand should not make any movements at the beginning, but after the left hand is swung up, it should be slightly forward, and the range should not be too large, but these two movements should be done quickly, just like me .”

  Sinista faced the blackboard with the cleansing spell written on it, and showed them the entire spell-casting process.

   "Immaculate."

  After her incantation ended, the traces left by the original chalk on the blackboard disappeared immediately, and the whole blackboard became tidy and brand new.

  The eyes of the students in the audience widened. Although it has been a year since they came to this castle, this is actually the first time they have come into contact with specific spells in a real sense.

  There is no magic wand, and the first spell to learn is only the cleaning spell, but every student here is enthusiastic about this kind of magic learning.

   No matter how enslaved and oppressed they are, no one can deprive them of their status as wizards. As long as they are wizards, no matter what kind of blood they are defined as, they are qualified to learn magic.

  Jon was only two places away from Hermione, and he could see the girl listening to Sinista's explanation very seriously, and trying to make gestures with her hands.

  After confirming that the girl was Hermione, Jon had no intention of directly contacting her.

Even if she is a well-deserved heroine in the original book, it doesn't help what Jon has to do in this castle, not to mention that he has just entered Hogwarts Castle now, and the identity he borrowed was in the previous year. It's also obvious that he doesn't have a deep friendship with Hermione, it's too abrupt for him to approach her rashly
