A multitude of thoughts surfaced one after another from the depths of Allen's consciousness like bubbles, each one as clear as if it had just been written down.
He was then surprised to discover that the so-called first-person version could perfectly capture everything that happened.
He could not only feel the touch of his own lips touching, but he could even feel everything he was thinking.
At this moment, he could even feel the urge to curse the system in his heart.
This feeling is hard to describe in words.
It was as if he were standing right in the center of his own mind, enveloped layer by layer by his own senses and thoughts.
He is himself, yet he is not himself.
Then the plot quickly unfolds.
The moment he saw Quirrell's character card activated, the throbbing pain of magic surging through his body felt like swallowing an entire river in one gulp.
He saw himself rushing forward and fighting the Death Eaters, his wand spinning rapidly in his hand, casting spell after spell.
He saw the Grey Lady pull him into that pure white space, heard that quiet voice ask, "What are you doing back here?", and saw Quirrell's ghostly figure standing in the white space, bowing his head in repentance.
He saw himself emerge from the white space, with a blue eagle spreading its wings behind him, the wind from the flapping wings making the hem of his trench coat flutter.
Finally, he hovered above the Black Lake.
The wind blew across the lake, carrying moisture and coolness, and felt every inch of my face clearly.
He raised his wand.
Countless profound insights into the Levitation Charm and Blasting Curse flooded my mind.
That feeling is too hard to describe.
All the knowledge was there—every syllable of the spell, every angle of casting, every bit of magical power output—all were clearly laid out in his mind, like a large book opened right before his eyes.
He doesn't need to think at all; his hands know what to do on their own.
[ Levitation Charm ] × [ Blasting Curse ]...
He opened his mouth, and the long, complex string of syllables flowed naturally from his throat.
The lightness of the Levitation Charm and the violence of the Blasting Curse intertwined at the tip of the wand, transforming into a blazing blue light.
[Composite · Floating Waves and Thousand Vibrations]!
The moment the surface of Black Lake was completely raised, only one thought remained in Allen's mind.
That was awesome!
After Allen exited the Pensieve, he lay on the table, catching his breath for a long time.
Once the dizziness subsided a little, he straightened up and leaned back in his chair, resting his hands on the armrests and staring blankly at the ceiling.
"I understand now."
He recalled his experience in the Pensieve earlier.
At the time, he used Quirrell's character card and had the illusion of being a master of the Levitation Charm and Blasting Curse, having been immersed in them for many years.
It feels like someone who has played the piano for twenty years can casually play a piece, and their fingers know exactly where to land.
But after he used up the character cards, when he picked up the wand again, he still felt like a beginner.
My fingers don't know where to go; my brain knows what to do, but my hands just can't keep up.
That's a huge difference.
However, in the Pensieve, he once again experienced that profound understanding of the two incantations.
etc!
Allen suddenly sat up straight in his chair.
He currently lacks a renowned teacher to guide him on the key aspects of learning spells, which slows down his progress and he might even get stuck at a certain crucial point.
He could practice alone for ages and still not get the hang of it.
But what if you repeatedly experience the insights gained from casting spells at the peak of each character's abilities?
The Pensieve can put him back into that first-person perspective, and once it's back, he can once again feel the master-level sensation he had when he used those spells.
Once isn't enough, do it twice; twice isn't enough, do it three times.
Doesn't this mean that a wizard at the peak of his powers is teaching him in a "combined" way?
I doubt any other renowned teacher could teach with such empathy.
Do it as soon as you think of it.
Allen brought his face close to the Pensieve again and plunged it inside.
This time, he didn't look around. Once inside, he immediately focused his attention on every detail of casting the spells: the Stupefy, the Protego, and the final Composite Spell.
He meticulously studied every detail of the incantation, the force and angle of every movement, and the trajectory of every wisp of magic flowing through his body.
A few minutes later, Allen stepped out of the Pensieve, one hand supporting himself on the table, the other pressing his temple, feeling slightly dizzy and lightheaded.
It seems that his current skill level is still too much for him to keep up with that pace.
But there was no disappointment on his face.
On the contrary, his eyes were frighteningly bright.
He could clearly feel that his understanding of the various spells had indeed deepened slightly.
I gained many insights, especially regarding the Levitation Charm and Blasting Curse.
These things are not dry theories in words, but real, tangible experiences.
Just like learning to swim, reading a hundred books is not as effective as jumping into the water and splashing around once.
The Pensieve, on the other hand, gives him the feeling of someone supporting him as he swims.
Allen's gaze was fixed on the small stone basin on the table.
This is only the second time the Pensieve has been used.
If it continues to be used...
He might even be able to completely master that extremely powerful Composite Spell.
"System," his voice trembled with barely suppressed excitement, "This reward is amazing!"
The light screen didn't respond, but Allen didn't care at all.
He steadied himself, forcing himself to look away from the Pensieve and refocus on the system screen.
[Reward 3: One chance to draw from the limited-time prize pool "Part 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban ". Use now?]
Allen's eyes lit up.
Last time, he drew Lucius Malfoy's strategic planning ability, which not only helped him easily break through the International Auror's intricate web, but also greatly increased his mental agility.
In the past, when he encountered problems, he would simply deal with them as they came, taking it one step at a time.
Now he unconsciously thinks a few steps ahead, considering everyone's interests and positions, and considering "how will the other party react if I do this" and "how will the other party react if I do nothing."
This ability proved invaluable in the London siege and the Fiendfyre in Diagon Alley.
Let's see what we get this time.
Allen leaned back in his chair and rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Bring it on."
The turntable on the light screen reappeared.
This time, the spinning wheel is much more refined than the previous ones, with each square having a dark silver texture in the background, like the silhouette of a dog running under the moonlight.
The turntable started spinning, and the speed increased.
Allen quickly scanned the names on the spinning wheel.
Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew...
