The Shameless Man

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan still hadn't returned by the time Albert finished lunch, and no one knew what the three guys were doing.

Albert didn't pay much attention and went straight to the Room of Requirement on the Seventh Floor after lunch.

After walking past the wall opposite the tapestry of the Troll Bashing Barnabus for the third time, Albert reached out to push the door open, only to find that the door had not appeared.

"Is someone inside?"

Albert immediately guessed why the door hadn't appeared, but who could be in the Room of Requirement? Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, or the McDougal sisters?

He then tried to gain access to Ravenclaw's Private Library.

This time, the door to the Room of Requirement finally appeared. When Albert pushed the door open, he found Katrina sitting at the table doing her homework.

He didn't disturb Katrina and went straight into the private library. In a hammock in a secluded corner near the window, Isobel slept peacefully, like Sleeping Beauty, making one want to wake her.

That said, when exactly did Ravenclaw's Private Library become what it is today?

Albert clearly remembers that this place was originally just a small room, but now it has become a spacious and bright library, with several green plants planted inside and several windows along the walls to let in the outside light.

However, the entrance to the Ravenclaw Knowledge Vault still exists, though it is well hidden in a very remote corner.

Albert sat on the sofa by the window, put down his schoolbag, and eagerly opened the Task Panel to complete the tasks for being a good student. He was ready to choose the most practical skills from Quirrell.

The moment the mission was completed, Albert was taken aback to find that the Skill Panel that popped up in front of him had several pages.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. Quirrell is, after all, a professor, and naturally knows a lot, though he is far less knowledgeable than Rowena Smith, who was buried in the ground last year.

Unfortunately, the skills on the panel highly overlap with Albert's own skills, and the overlapping skills are of no value.

Albert had also fantasized that he might have a chance to fleece Voldemort, who was attached to Quirrell, but unfortunately, this wish could not be fulfilled. The Skill Panel in front of him was obviously Quirrell's own skill.

However, upon closer inspection, Albert discovered that Quirrell possessed a considerable amount of Dark Magic, likely taught to him by Voldemort. After all, to break into Gringotts, one needs real skill, not just luck like the Saviors.

Albert was looking for a special skill that couldn't be leveled up through experience, the kind that was currently the most cost-effective skill. After looking for a long time, he actually found a special skill called Basic Theory Mastery.

However, Albert didn't make a choice immediately. He picked out two more skills from the pile. One was called Fiendfyre Curse, a Fiendfyre flame with terrifying power but difficult to control; Albert would find it hard to learn this Dark Magic through ordinary methods. The other had a rather unusual name: Voldemort's Curse Method.

Yes, that's right, it's called Voldemort's Curse Method.

Skilled wizards possess unique spellcasting techniques.

In Albert's memory, he had seen a skill called Finkelsh's Curse Method on Rowena Smith's Skill Panel.

That skill comes from an award named after Barnabus Finkley, its full name being the Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting. This award is given to those with exceptional spellcasting skills, and it is said that Dumbledore himself received this award.

Voldemort's Curse Method were certainly not bad, and might even be more sophisticated than Finkelsh's Curse Method's.

Tom certainly has many flaws and things that people criticize, but it is undeniable that as a powerful Dark wizard, he is indeed very strong, and the skills that are recognized by the panel and named after him are not bad in themselves.

Fiendfyre was ruled out along with other skills. Although Albert was also interested in Fiendfyre, he couldn't waste this opportunity to acquire a specific skill.

Between mastering the theory and Voldemort's Curse Method, Albert ultimately chose the latter. If he could master Voldemort's Curse Method, it would definitely improve his strength effectively. And most importantly, choosing Voldemort's Curse Method would give him the illusion of getting something from Voldemort. Getting something from Quirrell is naturally not as comfortable as getting something from Voldemort.

Trust your intuition; you can't go wrong.

After selecting the skill, Albert immediately used the experience pool to level up Voldemort's Curse Method by two levels. Then, he couldn't wait to close his eyes and carefully recall the extra knowledge in his brain.

That's not just limited to spellcasting techniques, but also Voldemort's own understanding of spellcasting.

I made a profit!

Albert suppressed his excitement, lest Katrina, who was doing her homework, notice his change in behavior.

He believed that as long as he could completely master Voldemort's Curse Method, even if he couldn't defeat Rowena, he wouldn't be directly suppressed by him.

After considering it for a moment, Albert invested the 10,000 experience points he had just acquired into upgrading the skill, bringing Voldemort's Curse Method directly to level three.

Then he closed his eyes again to carefully contemplate Voldemort's unique insights into spellcasting.

The man who tried to escape death was indeed not simple at all.

Albert drew his wand and waved it, and a Griffin sprang from the tip of the wand, gradually shrinking into a hazy ball of light in front of Albert.

While his spellcasting wasn't particularly smooth, and was even far less fluid than Quirrell's, Albert could clearly feel that he was becoming more adept at it.

I racked my brains to complete the task, and sure enough, I made a fortune! He figured that Voldemort must have taught Quirrell his spellcasting techniques. If there were no benefit, why would Quirrell be so easily fooled?

However, Quirrell probably didn't fully master it, but he himself benefited from this spellcasting technique and a lot of Dark Magic, becoming a man who could break into Gringotts and escape unscathed.

Quirrell and Voldemort are both good people!

Albert waved his wand and began to familiarize himself with Voldemort's Curse Method.

"I've never seen your spellcasting technique before!" Isobel said, watching Albert's attempts at the Transfiguration Spell. "It's excellent. If you were to enter the competition, you would definitely win the Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting Technique."

"Is your Finkelsh's Curse Method?"

"Yes, I taught myself, though I only learned a little bit," Isobel nodded in acknowledgment.

"I'll teach you after I've fully mastered it!"

Voldemort's spellcasting techniques were naturally far superior to those of most wizards.

However, Albert wasn't interested in the so-called Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting Skills, because participating in the award meant sharing his spellcasting techniques with others. It was one thing for Isobel to be his girlfriend, but everyone else could just step aside!

If Voldemort knew that someone had shamelessly taken his spellcasting techniques for themselves, his expression would certainly be priceless.
