Getting Stronger by Adding Points

As a student, doing homework every day is a normal part of life.

However, Hogwarts students are undoubtedly lucky. The academic workload here is light, and homework is usually due every other week. This means that students have plenty of time to complete their homework. They can leave all their homework until Saturday and Sunday, or even borrow someone else to copy a copy the day before the deadline.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon.

Hogwarts is known as the best magic school; however, there is only one in all of Britain, so it is naturally the best.

Of course, these things had absolutely nothing to do with Albert.

Well, Albert was a rather selfish person to begin with.

For him, as long as he can learn the knowledge he needs at school, that's enough.

Possessing the extraordinary power of magic is undoubtedly an exciting thing.

If you were to ask Albert what the most exciting thing is, what would he say?

It will never be about power, nor about sleeping with women, nor about injecting yourself with some strange stuff; it will be about becoming stronger and gaining power.

Watching yourself gradually grow stronger and gain power is a truly exhilarating feeling, and it can even be addictive.

Those who claim that pursuing power will lead to depravity are mostly weaklings.

For others, pursuing power might be difficult, but for Albert, becoming stronger is actually quite simple: all he needs to do is learn more Panel Skill and upgrade their levels.

One of Albert's secrets to becoming stronger: doing homework.

For others, doing homework might just be about doing homework.

For Albert, doing homework is also a way to gain experience. Only with experience can one upgrade skills and become more capable.

However, figuring out how to extract more experience from homework is also an art.

Albert would ask himself, what is the content of this assignment? Why did I write this part? What is its purpose?

Asking three questions in a row helps keep the brain active and improve memory.

Well, actually, all of this is nonsense. The main point is that Albert discovered that thinking things through while doing homework helps improve the experience gained.

It usually fluctuates between one and three times.

Of course, it may take a little more time, but it's totally worth it.

"What's wrong?" Lee Jordan asked.

Fred and George entered the Great Hall looking dejected and plopped down in the chairs to Albert's right.

"It was Filch. He just gave us trouble because we left muddy footprints on the floor when we came back," George said through gritted teeth. "On a rainy day like this, how could we not leave watermarks after coming back from training? Filch actually made us mop up the mud and watermarks on the floor."

"Use a spell," Albert said.

"What's wrong with your thinking?" Fred couldn't help but complain. "Filch is getting revenge on us!"

"I know," Albert said without hesitation. "If Filch insists you use a mop, you can blow up his office another day."

Albert naturally knew what was going on.

Last semester, the Twins filled Filch's office with the smell of garlic, which meant he was planning to cause them trouble.

"Looks like we need to order some more Dungbombs by mail," the Twins said in unison.

"I still have some, I can support you as a friend," Lee Jordan grinned.

"So, what are you doing?" Fred asked, frowning as he stared at Albert's wand.

"Practice how to detach the orb of light from the wand." Albert flipped through his notes and continued, "This morning, when I went to have tea with Professor Smith Professor Smith, I specifically asked him about this."

Whenever Albert communicates with others, he takes a moment to ask them his questions, and they usually help Albert answer them.

"Can you do it?" George was even more curious.

"No! At least not for now."

Albert whispered an incantation, causing the tip of his wand to glow again. Then, he gave the wand a slight shake—yes, a slight shake—as if to shake the light off the tip.

Albert's Lumos Charm has reached level two, and even he himself doesn't know when he reached that level, but there is no doubt that he is more skilled at using the Lumos Charm than before.

Currently, there is even a trend towards Nonverbal Spellcasting.

As for why this change occurred, it's all thanks to Albert raising his Wizarding Bloodline to level four.

After graduating last semester, Albert successfully completed the Gryffindor's Glory Quest, which gave Albert one Skill Points. Combined with the two points from the Rescue Mission, Albert upgraded his Wizarding Bloodline to level three.

After reaching level three, Albert felt a significant change in himself, with his Magical Power increasing considerably. He then immediately accepted the Wizarding Road quest and upgraded his Wizarding Bloodline to level four.

Well, actually Albert was worried that his skill could only be upgraded to level five.

Based on the fact that level 3 requires 10,000 experience points, the skill level won't be too high, otherwise even if you have it, the experience gained won't be enough.

If the experience required to upgrade skills increases fivefold after level two, then level five would require 250,000 experience points, which is an almost impossible gap to fill.

Therefore, Albert judged that the skill level was capped at level five.

He wouldn't risk waiting until level four to try again; if he could only reach level four, Albert would be devastated.

Of course, there was another reason why he chose to be promoted at this time: he wanted to cause trouble.

To cause trouble requires strength, and strength is the source of confidence. Improving Magical Power is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase one's strength.

Therefore, Albert was confident when facing Hertok Dagworth and even hoped to squeeze some missions out of him, but he was a little disappointed.

As Albert's Magical Power increases, his magical abilities will also become stronger, and he will be able to learn magic faster than before. Moreover, he might even have the opportunity to try to enter the Forbidden Forest to search for the so-called Gryffindor Treasure.

Albert was quite looking forward to seeing how much he could gain from this mission.

"Stop shaking, you're about to poke someone's eyes out," Shanna couldn't help but complain.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a faint ball of light separated from the wand, slowly rising like a firefly before disappearing without warning.

"Was I seeing things?" Shanna rubbed her eyes and murmured.

"No, I'm not seeing things, I just saw it too!" Lee Jordan stared at Albert with his mouth agape in surprise. "How did you do that?"

"Hmm," Albert recalled the feeling from just now, "It was like..."

Then, in full view of everyone, another ball of light separated from the wand, but it also disappeared into thin air after a short time.

"I wish it would detach from the wand," Albert said softly. "However, the orb seems to be beyond my control."

According to Smith, once the orb of light detaches from the wand, it can be easily controlled according to his will.

Albert didn't quite succeed, but it was a good start. Now he should practice more as Smith taught him.

"I never knew the Lumos Charm could be used like that." Shanna drew her wand and tried, but failed. So, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there a trick to it?"

At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing the so-called secret.
