"Awesome, meow!"

"This feels so good, meow..."

After enjoying the secret-recipe snacks, Lucia rolled around on the grass, thoroughly enjoying herself.

The elegant lady has turned into a wicked kitten.

"If Colin were here," Silan thought, "We could have filmed this scene."

If I give it to Lucia as a gift, she will definitely be very happy.

Lucia, feeling incredibly refreshed, collapsed onto the grass and took a while to recover.

Lucia squatted gracefully on the grass, wiping the crumbs off her face with her front paws and then licking her paws.

"You called me here to practice Occlumency, didn't you? Stop dawdling and get started."

Lucia's voice returned to its original tone, elegant and languid, like that of a carefree noblewoman.

He speaks with more confidence once he pulls up his pants.

When you were eating those secret-recipe snacks, you were making such a racket, it sounded like you were going crazy.

After glancing at Lucia's vertical pupils, Silan wisely refrained from saying those words aloud.

To prevent it from taking the opportunity to retaliate later, using the guise of teaching to deliver two cat punches to my face.

Occlumency is not part of Hogwarts' regular curriculum, and most students have to learn it on their own.

However, it wasn't particularly difficult.

In summary, this is a technique that is extremely easy to learn but extremely difficult to master.

Silan had already mastered the basic theories.

But to truly master the technique, one must be under sufficient pressure, forcing him to continuously use Occlumency, thereby increasing his proficiency in the technique.

The training method that Silan came up with was also very simple.

It means having Lucia use Legilimency on him, and then launching an attack.

What he had to do was use Occlumency to resist Lucia's Legilimency and prevent it from predicting his actions.

As long as he can withstand the Cat Leopard's Legilimency, his Occlumency will be considered quite proficient.

Before we started, Silan specifically reminded her, "You need to slow down, otherwise the training won't be effective."

Cat Leopard don't have six legs for nothing.

Its speed ranks among the top of all Magical Creatures.

Because of their incredible speed, Cat Leopard are very difficult to catch, let alone tame.

Lucia said ominously, "Don't worry."

On the surface, it readily agreed, but in its heart it was thinking, "I'm losing all face in front of you!"

"Of course we need to save face later."

Silan was not at all at ease.

Just by looking into Lucia's eyes, Silan knew that she was definitely not thinking anything good.

After all, he himself was a guy who didn't do anything good, so he was very familiar with that kind of look.

To achieve optimal training results, Silan cannot use Spells, but it doesn't say she can't use skills.

So before we started, Silan secretly used [Tough Skin].

This skill, extracted from the Fluffy, can reduce his magical and physical attacks by 30%.

It's like wearing a layer of armor.

Training begins.

Lucia was indeed very fast, weaving and leaping among the branches of the trees, leaving only a series of afterimages.

With the naked eye, Silan couldn't even catch a glimpse of it.

Moreover, he clearly sensed that Lucia was using Legilimency to read his mind.

This feeling is like an invisible, large hand roughly reaching into your brain and pulling out your thoughts.

The extraction process was even accompanied by slight, sharp pains.

Silan used Occlumency to conceal his thoughts, but with little effect.

Lucia anticipated his dodge and leaped from the tree onto his back, slamming her front paws down hard.

"It's time for my revenge!"

But Lucia quickly realized something was wrong.

Its front paws felt as if they had struck a rock, and were jolted painfully.

How can his body be so stiff?!

Lucia quickly retreated, creating distance, and was back in the tree in the blink of an eye.

Unconvinced, she used Legilimency again, anticipating Silan's movements, and slashed him with her claws once more.

The result was the same.

Silan seemed unaffected, but its own paws were numb from the shock.

"You could use a little more force; the massage isn't very gentle," Silan said with a calm smile, rubbing the spot where Lucia had patted her earlier.

"You said it yourself."

Lucia's vertical pupils flickered twice, and she increased her speed again.

Unfortunately, without using her sharp teeth and claws, Lucia's cat-like punches simply couldn't break through her Tough Skin.

Despite its best efforts, it was barely enough to provide any real relief to Silan, barely enough for a massage.

Lucia grew increasingly alarmed.

He had already used all his strength, but Silan seemed completely unaffected, while his own front paws were a little sore...

This infuriated it.

Could this be a little wizard?

Where did this monster come from?

Lucia intensified Legilimency, which significantly aggravated the throbbing pain in Silan's head.

However, he didn't call a halt.

This intensity will result in better training effects.

Once the man Cat Leopard were fully engaged in training, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

Under such intense training, both Silan and Lucia were starting to feel the strain.

"Let's stop practicing here for today," Silan suggested. "You should rest here."

Exhausted Lucia nodded and wagged her tail at him. "Don't forget to make me some jerky."

After agreeing, Silan stepped out of the Suitcase.

After resting for a while at the Room of Requirement, Silan went outside to get something to eat.

But before he could even descend the stairs, a black dot suddenly appeared in the air.

The black dot grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed through the window and crashed into his arms.

"Master, your loyal owl Melba, has completed its mission and returned to your side..."

Perhaps influenced by Nicolas Flamel's operatic style, Melba speaks with a distinctive intonation.

Silan took out the package Nicolas Flamel had sent, then reached out and grabbed Melba by the neck, lifting him up in her hand and weighing him in her hand. Suddenly, she asked, "Have you gained weight?"

Compared to before the summer vacation, Melba has become much stronger, and its feathers have become shinier.

Melba chuckled awkwardly, "It's all thanks to the master's supplements."

"Oh~" Silan drawled, then fed it another bottle of supplement. "Not bad, not bad."

Melba savored the Owl Supplement, thinking to herself that she was finally back at Hogwarts.

How lonely those mother owls must be without me!

I'll definitely make it up to them when I get back.

Hehehe~

Just as it was dreaming of its wonderful life, Silan placed his hand on its head, leaned close to its ear, and asked in a capitalist's tone.

"But it seems your delivery time hasn't shortened at all."

"Did you slack off on the way?"

Melba froze instantly, his head motionless, his heart pounding wildly.

It delivered a lot of mail across borders during the summer vacation, and with Silan and Hermione feeding it plenty of supplements, it became quite plump and healthy.

This significantly increased his speed.

But Melba knew all too well that wizards were insatiable.

If I were to fly a two-day journey in one day, the wizard would demand that I fly it in one day next time.

As a seasoned owl, Melba knew very well that the faster the mail was delivered, the more mail he would have to deliver.

So it deliberately stopped along the way to ensure that the delivery time coincided with the summer vacation.

"Ah, this, Master, please listen to me..."

"The weather was bad on the way, and there was a storm at sea. I was almost swept away! I almost... I almost didn't make it back! Master, ahhhhh..."

Melba covered her face with her wings and began to cry pitifully.

"Alright."

Silan released it impatiently. "Go back and rest. Just make sure your delivery speed isn't slower than it is now."

"I'll get you another bottle of the supplement."

"Alright!" Melba's sobs came to an abrupt halt.

After expressing its gratitude, it carried the supplement and flew back to the Owlery.

Two bottles of supplements!

Fight until dawn tonight!

Silan returned to the Room of Requirement and opened the things Nicolas Flamel had sent.

In addition to replying to the letter, Nicolas Flamel also sent some other things.
