Some of those unscrupulous dark wizards in the past didn't care much about this so-called Wizard Hunter at first, and were still practicing their own Dark Magic.

But Mo Fei did not tolerate them. After making up his mind, he completely became a ghost in the night.

From time to time, it will appear where dark wizards gather, and then London will completely clean up a large number of black wizard groups.

Thanks to his efforts, the atmosphere at London has improved a lot, with almost no dark wizards appearing directly in front of Muggle...

As for those wandering wizards who are all alert, they suspect that this so-called Wizard Hunter is some Ministry of Magic pretending to be Auror. The purpose is that they are too arrogant during this period and even affect the normal order of Muggle...

But anyway, they left here in large numbers.

This behavior continued for half a year. However, except for Tom who knew a little bit, the other children did not know that their dean had done such a big thing quietly.

Tom didn't feel any less relaxed because of this.

Because of the previous attack, Grindelwald was not very satisfied with Tom's performance.

It's really good to be able to achieve that level of combat, but in fact, there is still more room for improvement.

Like really starting to learn magic.

Before starting to teach Tom some magic, Grindelwald asked Tom a question.

"Little Tom, tell me, why do wizards need wands?"

Regarding this issue, Tom has no idea at all, and even other little wizards will not think in this direction.

You know, the first thing after receiving the admission notice, whether they are a Pure-blood noble, a Half-blood origin, or a little wizard in Muggle, they must go to Ollivanders to choose their first wand under the guidance of their professors and parents.

This seems to be a Wizarding World tradition, and Tom has never thought of the specific reason.

Now that he was asked this question, he also started to think about it.

What does a wand do and why can't they buy one before enrolling?

It must be because there is some kind of change that occurs at the age of eleven, or in other words, receiving the admission notice is a magical ritual that has an additional effect.

He looked at the professor, intending to listen to what the professor had to say.

Grindelwald did not directly explain the matter of Britain. Instead, he talked about the admission matters of Germany Durmstrang.

"It is a little different from Hogwarts. In Germany, our process is similar to Britain but not exactly the same... In Hogwarts, there is a Book of Admittance, which will record all the wizards of appropriate age in Britain. Then with the permission of the principal, the vice-principal will usually write the admission notice, and then purchase items..."

"We are different there. Durmstrang does not accept any wizards born in Muggle. We will only accept wizards who come from wizard families, or children where one of the parents is a wizard... For such families, they will mail a letter to Headmaster's Office one month before enrolling, and then confirm the reply..."

"In addition to this method, if the school's professors meet young wizards who can be trained, they can also recommend admission..."

"When they receive the admission notice, they will also go to Wizard Street to buy wands..."

"Why the wand is the most important item before enrolling in most magic schools? The reason is simple. The wand has a very special function, just like your identification information..."

"With the admission notice, you can buy your own wand, and that wand will become a symbol of you in school and even in your life later..."

"This is its significance in occultism, but in terms of practicality, the wand helps the little wizard sort out his magic power, so that the magic power can run more smoothly, and Charms can also release it better..."

"Do you understand now?"

Tom was even more confused about the professor's question. Did you understand what he said?

Doesn't that mean that the wand is equivalent to identity authentication, and it also helps the little wizard sort out the magic power. Why can't it be obtained in advance or contacted?

This matter is still not made clear.

Seeing that Tom was still a little confused, Grindelwald stopped going around in circles and just finished everything.

"If you are exposed to wands before the age of eleven, or even get used to other people's wands, then you will no longer be able to have your own magic. Each wand has a unique mark on it... and such a mark will allow you to keep getting closer to that existence while casting spells..."

"The result of doing this is to lose yourself..."

"If there is no magic wand, can we grow freely? - Theoretically yes, but this method is too difficult, so in the modern wizard training process, the magic wand has become the most important way to help young wizards..."

Knowing the importance of the magic wand, Tom also began to look forward to his own magic wand.

Kyle When I got the wand, I was still young and didn't have any extra memories.

But later, he also saw the wand of Kyle. So what does his own wand look like?

Grindelwald saw Tom's expectations for the wand, but he did not laugh at it. How could a young wizard remain indifferent after knowing the mystery of the wand? Wasn't he the same way back then?

"However, even if the wand is so magical, I will not give you the wand before you are eleven years old. So, what we have to learn now is to release magic directly through your magic power, which is the so-called Wandless Magic..."

Tom's eyes are brighter, and being able to cast spells without using a wand is simply more in line with his wishes.

However, he still has some concerns.

"But didn't you say that Wandless Magic and Nonverbal Spellcasting are high-level magic skills? Can I really learn them now?"

"Aren't you always studying?" Grindelwald suddenly asked.

However, just as Tom was about to speak, he seemed to react.

"Is it the magic control technique? The magic control you have been asking me to practice is Wandless Magic?"

"Of course it's not that simple, but it's also the premise of Wandless Magic..."

Grindelwald did not take out the wand, but just sat next to Tom, "Wandless Magic not only needs precise magic control, but also needs a sufficient understanding of spells. Only in this way can you successfully complete the spell without using a wand..."

"What I am going to teach you is a weakening technique, Finger Casting. You use your fingers as a magic wand to cast spells. Although it is still very difficult, there is not much hidden danger. The only thing that may suffer is your fingers. It is estimated that after long-term use, your fingers may be sore and unbearable..."

"But I thought maybe you'd like to give it a try?"

Grindelwald's temptation is completely unworried about Tom's rejection.

This is also true, Tom immediately agreed.

"Then let's get started. It's time for you to learn the basic and most interesting magic - Levitation Charm!"

"A standard and smooth "wave and shake" is his most basic movement. I have demonstrated it many times, so you should be familiar with it. As for the spell-"

Before Grindelwald could speak, Tom spoke the answer directly, and this was also the Latin text that he had recited in his mind many times.

"Wingardim·Leviosa..."

"Yes, that's right. You should also know something about the stress and pauses of spells. Now use your index finger to try it..."

Grindelwald made a gesture welcoming the try.

And Tom took a deep breath, and then used his fingers instead of the wand to start casting spells.

But as soon as Charms said "Yu...", he heard Grindelwald say "Finite Incantatem!"

Tom's magic output was interrupted instantly, and Tom also felt at this time that his index finger felt as painful as if it was about to explode!

He gritted his teeth, but cold sweat was already flowing down his temples.

Grindelwald seemed to have anticipated his pain.
