"Ron, Neville, we need to hurry, finish breakfast, and get to the Elemental Magic Academy early so we can grab good seats."
Having woken up early, Harry was already fully dressed and was urging Ron and Neville along.
As for Dean and Simon, he did not need to call them at all, because the two of them were intensely interested in Elemental Magic Studies.
What had happened last night had left Ron physically and mentally exhausted. The poor boy had been frightened far too much.
Of course, Harry was not in much better shape either. But soon, everyone in the school would be attending Professor Katelyle's Elemental Magic Studies class.
This was very important, and very necessary.
Before long, Ron and the others quickly ate breakfast in the Great Hall.
"Hey, shouldn't you be eating breakfast here?" Malfoy looked at Harry incredulously, speaking with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.
Hearing Malfoy's words, Ron recalled what had happened last night. He stood up, ready to berate Malfoy.
But Harry pulled Ron back, then walked up to Malfoy and said in a low voice, "You're a coward. You were the one who proposed the wizard duel, but you were also the one too scared to show up."
"Were you hoping Argus Filch would catch us? Too bad your scheme failed."
"We're still Gryffindor students!"
Malfoy heard this and looked into Harry's eyes, overcome with indescribable fury. He clenched his fists, wanting to vent his anger, but then he saw Hagrid approaching. His expression darkened as he warned Harry, "Harry, just you wait."
With that, Malfoy immediately turned and left.
Hagrid walked over and asked Harry with a smile, "Harry, finished eating? We're heading to the Elemental Magic Academy."
Hagrid took great care of Harry and liked him very much.
So, after noticing what was happening here, he came over.
Harry did not know exactly what Hagrid was thinking, but he still gave an innocent smile and said, "Almost. We need to find good seats."
"Haha, then let's go together!" Hagrid laughed and headed off.
Harry and the others followed behind him, their faces full of excitement.
Elemental Magic Academy.
Although Harry and the others had come as early as they could, some students had arrived even before them.
Those students had taken the better seats, leaving Harry somewhat disappointed.
"Harry, Ron!"
Just then, Hermione's voice rang out. Harry and Ron looked over to see Hermione waving at them, signaling for them to come over.
Hermione had saved two excellent seats for them. Harry and Ron could not help smiling happily when they saw this.
At eight in the morning, all the teachers and students had arrived, including Professor Quirrell and the ghosts.
The place was extremely lively, and nearly everyone was discussing Elemental Magic Studies.
Just as everyone was wondering why Katelyle had not appeared yet, magical light flashed across the vast venue and formed a Hexagram Array.
Surging magical power erupted. Dumbledore, Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell, Professor Flitwick, and the others all widened their eyes.
The strength of one's magical fluctuations largely reflected the strength of one's power.
Clearly, Katelyle was very powerful.
Then, beneath everyone's gaze, Katelyle appeared out of thin air within the Hexagram Array and slowly rose into the air, hovering three meters above the ground.
"Welcome, all teachers and students of Hogwarts, to the Elemental Magic Academy. I am your professor, Katelyle."
"After waiting so long, we have finally welcomed our first Elemental Magic Academy class."
Katelyle's voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, as though it had been amplified countless times by a loudspeaker.
Seeing this, the pure-blood wizards such as Ron clapped and shouted, "Cool!"
This was a Voice Amplification Charm, very simple.
Harry and the others clapped excitedly as well, filled with anticipation.
"There is a form of spatial energy around us. By using spells to make one's spiritual power resonate with the magical elemental energy of the outside world, corresponding magical effects can be produced within a certain range of space. I call this Elemental Magic Studies."
"Elemental Magic Studies has seven elemental powers: the white Light Element, the cyan Wind Element, the red Fire Element, the yellow Earth Element, the blue Water Element, the purple Lightning Element, and the black Dark Element."
Each time Katelyle named an elemental power, he tapped the air with his wand, and an Elemental Sprite appeared before everyone's eyes.
Every Elemental Sprite was the size of a palm and fluttered through the air.
Before long, the seven Elemental Sprites were dancing in the air, each leaving behind a trail of elemental energy wherever it passed.
The trails were palm-width wide as they flew and intertwined in the air, like a perfect rainbow after rain.
Then, the Elemental Sprites each began casting magic.
The Fire Sprite unleashed fireballs, Fireball Barrage, Blazing Inferno, Phoenix Guard, and even Dance of the Fire Phoenix, which shocked Dumbledore with its astonishing power.
Next came the Earth Sprite's Earth Spikes, Earth Wall, Earth Rift, Earth Dragon Barrage, and Earth Dragon Guard.
The Water Sprite flew above everyone's heads, and glowing raindrops fell upon them. In an instant, everyone felt refreshed, while children with minor injuries or illnesses recovered immediately.
Then came the Wind Sprite, Lightning Sprite, Light Sprite, Dark Sprite, and the rest, each displaying its own abilities.
All kinds of magic unfolded across the training ground, dazzling and colorful, with astonishing power. The unimaginable spells left all the teachers and students gasping in amazement, while filling them with anticipation for the kind of Elemental Magic they wished to learn.
Finally, under Katelyle's control, the energies intertwined and formed a powerful force, leaving behind several words.
"Elemental Magic"
Seeing this, all the teachers and students cheered, applauded, and leaped with excitement.
Unlike the magic displayed at the welcome feast, the magic Katelyle cast now was undoubtedly even more sensational and breathtaking.
Because of this, they witnessed Katelyle's strength in greater detail. Some were even secretly comparing him with Dumbledore, wondering who was stronger.
But the more they considered it, the more terrifying Katelyle seemed.
"You have now witnessed the power and brilliance of Elemental Magic, but this is only the beginning. Even more powerful magic awaits you to learn and explore."
"Before learning Elemental Magic, however, there is one more thing that must be done: an elemental magic affinity test."
"Now, stand before a Crystal Ball by class for your affinity test. Professors will guide you and register your magical affinities."
"I look forward to seeing geniuses among you who can surprise me."
