Regarding the training of Occlumency, apart from Manus, only Lily and Severus have done it.
The purpose of training for all three people is the same, which is to determine whether a person has enough ability to learn magic before going to school.
Although Wizard after school age can also use this method to improve his mental control and thereby enhance his ability to control magic, to be honest... this is not the only method, nor is it the most efficient method, nor is it the method that has the highest upper limit.
Manus is not recommended. I can only say that if you want to learn Occlumency by the way, then this is indeed a good way.
"At first it was Lily who mentioned this to me when talking about Legilimency. Then I also checked with Severus. This method is indeed effective, and you can learn Occlumency."
After learning that Occlumency could learn it so early, Barty Jr., who knew how tricky Legilimency's magic was, thought it was necessary for him to do this training, not to mention that it would improve his ability to control magic.
He has been coveting for a long time that Severus and Lily can perform more detailed control operations on Charms. Unfortunately, the gap caused by this kind of practical operation experience is difficult to make up for in other ways.
He had to walk the same path that the two of them had walked.
Hearing this answer, Manus couldn't help but laugh:
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to hear other answers from them on this question... I understand. I will wait for you at Astronomy Tower tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday. After the training, you can just take a nap to replenish your energy without affecting the afternoon party."
Manus knows that Severus and Lily must have bad intentions when they say this, but they also know that they don't have any bad intentions. They probably just want Barty Jr. to experience the feeling of their original class.
But for Manus personally, he thinks that the lesson is also a lesson, and it doesn't matter if he experiences it more, so he doesn't point it out.
And Barty Jr. himself may not have noticed it at all.
After finalizing tomorrow's training with Barty Jr., Manus watched the other party leave, then looked at Regulus:
"Come with me."
It's already a little late now. Although it's not dark yet and it's not dinner time for most people, Great Hall has already prepared dinner. Many people simply choose to go to the Great Hall in advance to finish today's dinner early and don't have to go downstairs for an extra trip later.
Footsteps kept sounding in the corridor, but no one came in and opened the door to disturb the abandoned classroom.
"..."
I have ideas and a certain amount of accumulated knowledge, but I lack experience, but it seems that because of this I don't have that rigid feeling. Overall, I can say that I have something to say.
This is the general feeling that Manus got from reading Regulus's paper. The part about ability fully exposed Regulus's ability to solve problems and decision-making habits and other characteristics.
As for the other part, about the issue of stance level...
Manus's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
His initial thought was that Regulus was most likely someone sent by Death Eaters. He might not be considered an undercover agent, but at least it was a nail... This idea probably came to nothing.
It really allowed him to see the small probability situation!
Regulus is a member of the Black Family, a Slytherin student who actively joined Death Eaters, and is also one of the supporters of Pure-bloodism.
Among these questions about stance, although there is no 180-degree turn to criticize Pure-bloodism, it still shows a considerable sense of confusion and confusion--
Pure-bloodism? Meritocracy?
The collision between reality and ideas, the terrible contrast between the ideas shaped by the past environment and the real scene in front of you, coupled with the doubts caused by what you saw and heard in the past...
Regulus stood at a crossroads.
Manus combined the information revealed in these questions to complete the psychological profile of Regulus.
Unexpectedly, this Little Black... actually believed in Pure-bloodism!
Well, it's not incomprehensible, after all, it's Black from "Always Pure" - but Black Family, the youngest son of the current patriarch, has a high probability of inheriting the family given the current situation of the eldest son.
So naive that he is a true supporter of Pure-bloodism?
The good news is that Regulus's process of joining Death Eaters was very smooth in the past. The bad news is that after joining Death Eaters, Regulus suspected that Death Eaters was not pure enough.
He could see that many people did not join Death Eaters just for Pure-blood Supremacy, and there were even a few such people. The organization Death Eaters also did not make much substantial efforts for Pure-blood Supremacy.
If the original Regulus was only vaguely aware of these things and had a prototype of an idea, the real environment was far from supporting him to see more and think more.
After all, it is always extremely difficult for people to admit that they are wrong.
However, the emergence of Manus broke this point. Regulus is too smart, but not smart enough.
Regulus is smart enough to see that the things Death Eaters torn apart by Manus are indeed just a shell, an untenable false theory.
But Regulus is not smart enough to convince himself to continue deceiving himself and others. He only regards Death Eaters's Pure-blood Supremacy as a slogan to maintain the interest network and stays in his own comfort zone.
This is why Regulus came to Manus and tried to join Wizard Sage Party--
After Pure-blood Supremacy's ideal was shattered by Manus, he instead tried to seek comfort from the ideal of ability first, and planned to join it after testing whether Wizard Sage Party really implemented this ideal.
"This Little Black is also an idealist?"
At this moment, Manus felt some subtle pity for the current head of the family Black Family.
I won't say much about the eldest son, although in a secular moral sense, Sirius·Black is a free soul who has not been domesticated by the family's backward and rigid dogma...
But from the perspective of Orion·Black, having such an eldest son is indeed a sight to behold.
I originally thought that the younger son Regulus was the opposite, a Black in the traditional sense, a perfect heir, but now it turns out that Regulus is also an idealist.
It's just that in the past, Regulus's ideal happened to be in line with the Black Family, or it was influenced by the Black Family.
The bad news is that this ideal cannot be maintained now. Regulus is not willing to blindly stick to this ideal that he knows to be false and be the heir of the Black Family.
He is looking for change.
