The Room of Requirement and the Training Plan

After dinner, Damon returned to the Common Room and began writing letters.

The first was to the Sacred Heart Orphanage, to report his safety to the director.

The second was to Flourish and Blotts, asking them to deliver the previously ordered books to the school.

The third was to Slag Giggs Pharmacy, placing an order for a large quantity of basic magical materials, including: venomous serpent fangs, toad skin, snake gallbladders, frog eyes, marigold, water snake skin, and more.

Additionally, there were magical containers, special additives, protective and regulating items, as well as two custom potion boxes.

After finishing the letters and sealing them with wax, Damon took the three letters to the Owlery, fed Chachabarton two owl nuts, gave her a few strokes, and handed the letters to her.

"That's a lot. Sorry for the trouble."

"Hoo."

Chachabarton lowered her head and called out, grabbing the three letters with her claws before flying off.

Damon watched her retreating figure and suddenly remembered—he hadn't invested in Magical Creature Affinity yet.

So, without hesitation, he poured points into Magical Creature Affinity all the way to level four, spending no more than ten thousand Magic Points.

Magical Creature Affinity—LV1 (Novice)—Magical Creature Affinity—LV4 (Expert)

[With just a bit of time, you can communicate with nearly all magical creatures and guide them through complex tasks or combat when necessary.]

Good grief, this talent was almost on par with Newt Scamander, wasn't it?

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!"

As Damon finished allocating his points, a sudden commotion erupted in the Owlery. The owls, which had previously been indifferent to him, completely changed their demeanor. They all eagerly hopped onto his shoulders and even his head, hooting nonstop.

"Watch it, don't crap on me, buddy."

Damon gently lifted the owl off his head and, despite its displeased look, placed it back on the owl perch.

What Damon didn't notice was that, in the shadows at the corner of the staircase, a pair of eyes was quietly watching him—watching this boy surrounded and adored by owls.

His gaze was deep and calm, like still spring water.

After watching silently for a while, Dumbledore quietly left.

Minerva had mentioned this child to him before, her tone tinged with surprise and relief, but at the time, he hadn't paid much attention.

After the Sorting Ceremony, he learned about the boy's performance on the train. Combined with his behavior during the ceremony, this child was quite impressive.

Still, he needed to observe more.

Especially with such talented seedlings.

After all, talent is often a double-edged sword—it can guide a person toward brilliance or push them into the abyss.

Damon spent five minutes playing with the owls, unaware that Dumbledore had been watching him from behind for the same five minutes.

But even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared much. After all, the old bee would at most scheme against him for the Greater Good, and Damon figured he could handle it. Besides, there was still the savior Harry around.

Leaving the Owlery, Damon didn't leave the eighth floor. Instead, he wandered along it, searching. After all, the Room of Requirement—a must for any transmigrator—was here.

He walked down the corridor and quickly found his target.

A large tapestry depicting The Bludgeoning of Barnaby, opposite a stretch of blank wall.

Damon walked to the window at one end of the wall, turned back, and then walked to the other end where a man-high vase stood before turning again, muttering in his mind:

I need a place to practice spells. I need a place to practice spells.

On his third turn, a very smooth door had appeared on the wall.

Damon smiled, decisively grabbed the brass handle, pulled the door open, and stepped inside.

The space inside was very spacious.

Facing the entrance, at the far end, stood a row of magical targets. These targets varied in size, from ordinary circular ones to complex shapes that could almost simulate the movements of different magical creatures.

The complex targets were covered in a shimmering silver luster, seemingly capable of withstanding various magical attacks, with a faint magical protective shield on their surface.

On the left side of the room was a long wooden table, already equipped with ink and magical quills. Against the wall stood a row of wooden bookshelves, filled with large, thick books bound in parchment—Damon pulled one out at random and found its content related to spell training.

On the right side was a huge mirror, apparently used to check one's movements while casting spells.

"Not just the facilities, but even the supporting books are ready. Where does all this stuff come from?"

Damon looked around the room, marveling.

Then, he walked to the table and quickly jotted down a plan.

[Spell Training—mainly focused on the stability of magical output.

Start with the Lumos Charm to practice, ensuring the light spot's diameter error is ≤1mm and that it can be fixed on the target without shaking.

Also, magic recovery training: Usually, after a spell is dispelled, some residual magic remains in the caster's body, requiring the wizard to consciously recover it completely.

He could practice this with a teacup under a Levitation Charm—by recovering the residual magic before the cup lands after the spell stops, making it fall early.

Total magic capacity would keep increasing just by breathing. For now, the most urgent task was to improve his control.

Potions Training:

Ingredient processing: Process one hundred different magical materials daily, ten of each type.]

Improve herb processing precision by sorting fragments according to 0.5mm gradients.

Temperature control:

Attempt precise regulation of the flame's intensity to enhance the stability of potion brewing. Adjust the flame every 15 seconds to maintain a constant rate of bubble burst at the cauldron's rim. Use the eyes to observe bubble frequency, and coordinate with a thermometer to ensure temperature control accuracy.

Additionally, beakers at different temperatures can be used to sharpen the hand's perception of heat, gradually improving it.

As for brewing potions, that was far too lengthy and tedious. For now, he still wanted to devote most of his time to improving his strength.

Transfiguration training plan:

Start by learning to transform tiny, stationary objects into other stationary objects, then gradually advance. Additionally, after each transformation is complete, perform a reverse transformation, attempting to restore the object.

"Alright, that's about it for now."

Damon finished writing his plan, casually transfigured an iron nail, and hammered it into the desktop. He then began practicing Lumos against a target.

This was a spell so basic it couldn't be more basic. With Damon's current expert-level Charms Mastery, it was more or less child's play.

[Charms Mastery—LV4] 1/1000000 (Expert)

[You can quickly grasp how to control the power and effects of magic. Your control over magic's influence on body and mind will reach an extremely high level. Advanced spells will no longer be a challenge for you!]

However, the reason basics were basics was that they were the foundation upon which everything was built.

Having talent and recklessly chasing high-level spells was not Damon's style—step by step, with experience and gain at every step, that was what he pursued.

Otherwise, he suspected he would soon fall into a state of having no desires or goals.

"Then, let's begin."

Damon looked at the target in the distance, a gleeful smile spreading across his face.
