Chapter 281: Jon Hart's Philosophy of Magic (Part 1)

Almost every principal at Hogwarts is a famous wizard in history.
More than 30 principals, their fields of proficiency cover almost every corner of the magical world, even the more partial content such as ancient runes or magical animals.
Even black magic experts have one or two, such as Mrs. Elizabeth Bock as the principal from 1398-1422.
When Jon found that they were very happy to answer their own questions, he realized that... the most precious treasure in the entire principal's office was not the book collection that can hardly be found elsewhere in the cabinet, but the portraits of these former principals. .
They can answer almost every question raised by Jon, no matter how profound or remote.
Of course the problem is also coming. With so many principals, the opinions cannot be completely unified. So all kinds of quarrels have also appeared. From time to time, several principals are like shrews who point their noses to each other and yell at each other over a small problem... Academic conflicts are endless.
The principal’s office is like a vegetable market every day, and national curses such as fxxk are endless.
So Jon had to go to the stone monster to "refuge" often.
...
It was another late night when Jon finished eating a turkey leg, left the greedy stone monster, and crept back to the principal's office.
The noise inside has just disappeared... Although he knew that all the principals were pretending to be asleep, in the quiet office, Jon finally relaxed a bit.
Just after eating turkey legs, Jon felt a little thirsty... He glanced at the glass of pumpkin juice on the table, and suddenly had an idea.
"Pumpkin juice is coming (juice)!" Jon did not take out his wand, but directly extended a hand and shouted softly.
The cup shook slightly, but that was all, it did not fly directly into Jon's hands.
Jon shook his head helplessly, took out his wand and waved it slightly...The glass of pumpkin juice successfully flew into his hand this time, allowing him to take a sip.
A mocking laugh suddenly came from behind.
Jon looked back and saw Phineas Black there secretly opened his eyes and snickered.
"What a clumsy cast without a rod!" Principal Black whispered sarcastically.
Jon ignored him.
"But in this respect, I can be regarded as an expert." Phineas Black's excited face was almost full of "Come and beg me".
Jon still ignored him, turned around and continued to drink pumpkin juice.
"Hey!" Principal Black seemed to be anxious, he asked hurriedly: "Are you really not interested in using a stickless spell?"
"Yeah, I'm not interested." Jon turned around and nodded: "Preparation, there is no time...I need to learn a lot during this time; even if I really want to learn, I have to wait for a while. Time is up!"
"Didn't you think that you can use magic with a clap of your hands, you don't need to get a wand stupidly...how cool and handsome is this kind of behavior?" Phineas Black asked with a puzzled look.
Jon did not speak, which made Principal Black's face an embarrassing look.
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" he asked in surprise.
"Is the magic used for wandless casting stronger than ordinary casting?" Jon asked calmly.
"Naturally not, but it will be much weaker." Phineas Black shook his head: "But you don't need a magic wand."
"So what practical use does it have?" Jon continued to ask.
"You don't need a magic wand..." Headmaster Black repeated in vain.
"Is the wand heavy on the body, or does it mean that long-term use of the wand will cause harm to the wizard?" Jon smiled and asked again.
"That's not..."
"Then why are you so hostile to the wand?" Jon asked curiously.
Headmaster Black seemed to be circumvented by Jon, his face flushed, but he couldn't even say a word.
There was an awkward silence in the principal's office.
Many of the principals in the surrounding portraits quietly opened their eyes...Looking at the speechless principal Phineas-Black, they couldn't help snickering.
...
"You have to think about it like this..." Phineas Black thought for a moment, and finally suffocated a sentence: "What if your wand is lost or disarmed... Then there is no wand to cast the spell. Doesn’t it play a key role?"
After that, he looked a little complacent, feeling that he had the upper hand in this argument.
"Principal Black..." Jon glanced at the portrait of Phineas Black with some sympathy, and asked softly: "Do you often lose your wand, or do you get a disarming curse from time to time?"
"How is it possible!" Phineas Black shook his head angrily, and said without hesitation: "For a wizard, the wand is his second life, how can he lose it casually?"
Jon spread his hands with regret~EbookFREE.me~ Phineas-Black obviously realized that he had failed, and quickly added: "If I meet a strong opponent, he uses the Disarming Curse to get rid of me. The weapon...In this case, casting without a rod will play a role..."
"A strong opponent?" Jon repeated softly, "Headmaster Black, I can understand that he is a more powerful wizard than you or a wizard of the same level as you? For example, Professor Dumbledore?"
"Albus' talent is indeed better than me!" Phineas Black nodded with a humble expression.
"Then have you seen Professor Dumbledore often use the Disarming Curse?" Jon asked curiously.
The smile on Headmaster Black's face instantly solidified.
"Or is there an outstanding wizard you often see who uses the disarming curse every day?" Jon continued to ask with a puzzled look: "Also, if you are holding a wand, you are not his opponent; after losing the wand , The spell cast is much weaker, so he will be his opponent?"
Looking at the speechless Phineas, the principals on the side couldn't help laughing.
...
"That might be a bit biased..." Jon raised his head and handed an apologetic look to Principal Phineas Black: "I'm sorry, Principal Black."
"But I think-the biggest difference between a wizard and a magical animal is that the wizard can use tools..."
"That's right." A deep voice came from above, and Principal Oliver Cromwell nodded solemnly.
Looking at the principals who were all awake on a wall, Jon stood up and slowly said, "I have never been a wizard with extraordinary talent..."
