Needless to say.
This method of learning Magic Spells was highly effective.
At least for Vinson Wright, it was certainly more beneficial than not, because many spells in the Wizarding World could not be learned through simple study.
For example, some Dark Magic that ordinary people could not understand...
Vinson Wright only needed to read a spell one hundred times, copy it one hundred times, and memorize it one hundred times to learn those powerful Dark Magic spells directly.
Moreover, the Magic Spells learned this way would far surpass those of novices who had just learned them, both in power and proficiency.
Compared to those Dark Magic spells...
There were also advanced Potions that ordinary people would never dare brew...
Vinson Wright only needed to read a recipe one hundred times, copy it one hundred times, and memorize it one hundred times to learn how to make those advanced Potions. Given some time, Vinson Wright could easily become an advanced Potions Master!
Of course.
This also meant one thing.
Even if Vinson Wright only wanted to master all the basic practical Magic Spells and basic practical potion recipes, he still had to put in ten or a hundred times more effort than everyone else.
No one could say he was not working hard enough...
Old Barty Crouch picked up the heavy textbooks and glanced at Vinson Wright, whose expression was difficult to read. He assumed that Vinson was worrying after seeing those thick textbooks.
Old Barty Crouch still did not know what Vinson was thinking. He said softly, "You are the most talented young wizard I have ever seen. With your talent for magic, these first-year Hogwarts courses will be extremely simple. They definitely won't be able to stump you..."
"I'm not some genius..."
Vinson Wright glanced at the heavy textbooks and shook his head. "I'm going to work myself to the bone studying magical knowledge in the future. Don't casually erase all my efforts with just the two words 'genius'..."
"..."
Why was he suddenly being modest?
Old Barty Crouch did not quite understand Vinson Wright. Where had the imposing little fellow who had pointed a finger at him and cast an Unforgivable Curse when he was four gone?
"Forget it. You wouldn't understand."
Vinson Wright shook his head and stopped talking about studying. His gaze fell on the broom shop nearby. "Come on, let's buy a flying broomstick..."
"If I remember correctly..."
Old Barty Crouch looked at Vinson Wright and explained seriously, "First-year students aren't allowed to bring their own flying broomsticks. It should be written very clearly on the student supply list."
"Let's buy one."
Vinson Wright glanced at Old Barty and shrugged indifferently. "I never planned to ride a flying broomstick all over the sky anyway..."
The main reason was that this exploration quest would grant him an extremely practical ability.
[Exploration Quest: Purchase a flying broomstick (0/1), reward: Magic Specialty Wind-Riding Flight, incomplete]
"A wizard's flying tool is a broomstick..."
Old Barty Crouch explained earnestly before continuing, "Many people throughout history have tried to invent a Flying Spell, but no one has managed to develop one to this day..."
At this point, Old Barty Crouch's voice suddenly halted. He lowered it and said, "No—or rather, one person did manage to develop one... Voldemort... He developed a form of magic that allowed him to fly on the wind, and his flying speed was astonishingly fast. No one could catch him!"
"Wind-Riding Flight?"
Vinson Wright stroked his chin and thought seriously for a while before continuing, "Looks like a proper wizard really does need a flying broomstick..."
"..."
Old Barty Crouch was left with nothing but helplessness.
Since Vinson Wright had already put it that way, Old Barty Crouch could only help him buy an expensive Nimbus 1700 flying broomstick.
"This is the latest Nimbus 1700 model."
The clerk at the flying broomstick shop wore a pleasant smile as he introduced its features to Vinson Wright. "This Nimbus 1700 can exceed one hundred kilometers per hour and perform a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation freely in the air..."
"Looks pretty sturdy..."
Vinson Wright nodded with satisfaction.
The flying broomstick did indeed look quite presentable. Moreover, when Vinson received it, he also obtained his reward.
[Exploration Quest: Purchase a flying broomstick (1/1), quest complete, reward: Magic Specialty Wind-Riding Flight.] [Wind-Riding Flight: Passive Specialty. Allows the user to fly freely through the sky without relying on any object. Flying speed can easily exceed the speed of sound.]
Good grief!
Was this for real?
If Voldemort had also used Wind-Riding Flight, then it was no wonder that no one in the Wizarding World had ever been able to catch him. The other wizards could not even chase him through the dust, and of course, aside from Dumbledore, no one could beat him either...
But...
Now someone could catch up to him.
Old Barty Crouch had no idea what Vinson Wright was thinking. As he looked at the broomstick Vinson had casually placed in his arms, he fell into deep thought again.
When Old Barty had heard Vinson ask about the broomstick's quality just now, it had clearly exposed the little fellow's intentions. He must have wanted to use the broomstick to hit people...
This brat...
Could he show it a little respect?
This was the most expensive broomstick in the current Nimbus Series!
Old Barty Crouch helplessly led Vinson Wright away from the broomstick shop. Seeing the gray-haired boy beside him looking with interest at the owl shop in the distance, he could not help asking, "Do you want to buy an owl? It would make it more convenient for us to exchange letters. You can't always have your Ice Bird deliver your mail..."
Having a fifteen-meter wingspan Ice Bird deliver letters...
Was it really being used to deliver letters, or to threaten people?
"Of course I want to buy one!"
Vinson Wright looked at Old Barty in surprise and asked in return, "If a wizard doesn't have his own owl, can he still count as a proper wizard?"
"..."
The corner of Old Barty Crouch's eye twitched again.
Did this little fellow have no clear understanding of himself? What proper wizard would keep preparing to use all the things he bought to beat people!
However.
They definitely had to buy an owl.
Because Vinson Wright still had an exploration quest related to owls.
[Exploration Quest: Purchase a letter-delivering owl from Eeylops Owl Emporium (0/1), reward: Magic Spell Transfiguration Spell, incomplete]
To be honest, Vinson really needed to master more Magic Spells as quickly as possible, because seriously studying a single Magic Spell consumed quite a lot of his time.
But that was not the main reason.
The most important reason was that, as someone who had always aspired to become a proper wizard, he could not be good at using only the Three Unforgivable Curses...
Vinson Wright stood at the entrance of Eeylops Owl Emporium and carefully examined the owls displayed outside. "Let's buy one that looks a little fiercer..."
"...Owls aren't going to help you fight."
When Old Barty Crouch said this, his heart finally became completely unmoved.
