Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

v1 Chapter 75: Andrew Cavill

To learn Apparition, you don't need to provide too much identity information. The real verification of identity is when you take the Apparition exam of the Ministry of Magic.

So when Sherlock signed up for the cram school, he forged a simple fake identity for himself.

"Yes, I still remember that when I was in sixth grade, my head and body were separated. Fortunately, there was a teacher from the Ministry of Magic nearby who helped me in time."

Sherlock looked terrified.

Cavill waved his hand.

"You can rest assured with me. You should have already investigated the situation on my side before coming here. I have taught more than 100 adult wizards to obtain Apparition Certificates, and there has been no accident in any of them."

After a simple chat, Cavill didn't continue to talk to Sherlock, he seemed to be a resolute person.

"Okay, Watson, since you have been in touch with the teaching of Apparition, you should remember what the three-D principle of this spell is?"

Before Sherlock came, he had naturally seen through all the knowledge on paper.

"Goal (), determination (), calm ()."

"That's right, in fact, not only Apparition, but all other spells basically need this kind of mentality, but it's more obvious in Apparition."

Cavill gave him a demonstration in front of Sherlock.

"Apparation."

He waved his wand, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place, followed by a sound that sounded like a whip in the air, and in the next second, he appeared precisely in the wooden ring ten meters away.

Then he used Apparition again and returned to Sherlock's side.

"Actually, just by looking at it, you can't see any skills young people. The most important thing about this magic is to understand it by yourself. No matter how nervous you are, you must maintain your mentality."

Cavill indicated that Sherlock could try it himself.

Sherlock had already memorized the spell and the way of swinging the staff, the only thing missing was to try it.

The role of his money for the cram school is equivalent to buying an insurance for himself. If there is a split accident, someone will help him save it.

Sherlock pulled out his wand and exhaled softly, while Cavill was still emphasizing the main points to him.

"Remember! The three-D principle! You just need to do it, don't be too nervous, even if it is split, I can help you reconnect your body."

After staring at the location of the wooden circle, determined the target, and at the same time determined that he would definitely reach this place, Sherlock waved the wand in his hand.

"Apparation."

The spell is activated!

He felt like his body was caught by something and was about to fly in one direction!

Sherlock didn't panic, he still remembered the "calm" in the three-D principle.

He turned around slightly in place, and then he could clearly feel that his body began to become empty.

The next moment, he seemed to have passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, and he seemed to be motionless.

When he turned around completely and stood calmly in place, Sherlock found that he had teleported to the side of the wooden ring.

"Clap clap clap!"

Loud applause came from where he was standing before, and Cavill looked at him in amazement.

"I don't think anyone should be so boring and make fun of me with real money. Looking at your performance, it doesn't look like a beginner at all!"

Sherlock looked at the wooden ring next to him. His apparition was not perfect, and the final landing point was about one meter away from what he had imagined.

"This is because your goal is still somewhat lacking. You can try again."

Cavill summed up the reasons for Sherlock's mistake and asked him to do it again.

The second Apparition was perfect, but after Sherlock teleported into the wooden ring, before the smile on his face burst, he couldn't help holding his waist and retching.

Cavill helped him pick up a cup of hot tea from the house and handed it to him.

"Now I believe that you are new to Apparation. Some newcomers are always uncomfortable with this feeling, but it will be much better after you get used to it."

Sherlock took the hot tea from him, said thank you, and then asked.

"Is this kind of Apparition up to the standard?"

"Of course, with your performance just now, as long as you don't make mistakes in the exam, you can easily get the Ministry of Magic's certificate."

"Under normal circumstances, how long does it take for an adult wizard to learn this spell?" Sherlock asked casually, sipping his tea.

"Normally, it takes a month of continuous study. I met a very talented young man who only spent three days. Yours is a special case among special cases."

Cavill shrugged and said: "Young people like to hear compliments. Usually, after the wizards who come to me to study, I will say that they are rare geniuses and make them happy. But you are indeed the one I see. The most exaggerated wizard ever."

Sherlock himself is of course the clearest about his own situation.

He knew that his magical talent was not exaggerated to such a degree. It was just that the original owner had already learned this magic spell. He seemed to be learning it for the first time, but it was actually the equivalent of picking up unfamiliar skills and mastering them again.

Seeing the way Sherlock was thinking, Cavill patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, I originally planned to charge you thirty-six Galleons to teach you for a week. Since you learned it in less than a day, you don't have to pay for the rest of the money, so I will stay here for lunch by the way. Bar."

When Sherlock signed up, the tuition was paid for 12 Galleons first, and the remaining 24 Galleons were paid at the end of the study and after obtaining the Ministry of Magic certificate according to the agreement.

Sherlock could hear from Cavill that he wanted to make friends with himself by waiving the remaining tuition fees.

Naturally, he had nothing to be unhappy about. Anyway, the other party was with John Watson, and he had nothing to do with Sherlock Forrest.

The next time ~lightnovelpub.net~ is Sherlock practicing Apparition, teleporting back and forth on the lawn in front of the hut.

When it was noon, Cavill, who had cooked the steak, called him into the room and placed two glasses of brandy on the table.

"I basically drink a little bit of alcohol every meal. You can drink it at your own discretion."

Sherlock didn't mean to drink alcohol. It wasn't because he didn't drink it, but because he wasn't used to drinking with someone he just met for a day.

It can be seen that although Cavill looks rough, he is a familiar person, especially after drinking, he talks more and more.

"...The Aurors are really bad now. When I was young, I was also a dark wizard hunter fighting on the front line. When the mysterious people were at their most rampant, I was still with those Death Eaters. fought."

He smothered the brandy in his glass and took the one that Sherlock didn't touch.

"To be honest, fighting the Death Eaters was the most dangerous time in my life. I almost died." He stretched out his hand and gestured with his index finger and thumb for a distance.

"At that time, there was only such a short gap between the life-suppressing curse and me. Fortunately, someone pushed me away in time, but then that person also died."

Cavill sighed.

"I don't even know the name of the person who saved me, he just died in a battle."

Cavill is not only a natural drinker, but his alcohol intake is also average. After drinking two glasses of brandy, there was no change at first, but when the stamina came up, his face flushed and he quietly asked Sherlock.

"Have you heard about the Hogwarts incident recently?"

Sherlock suddenly narrowed his eyes and nodded calmly.

"I heard something."
