Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 333 Automatic Mana Replenishment Mechanism! Results of the First Graduation Assessment!

This does not mean that wizards have an unlimited reserve of magic.

The truth is that whenever a wizard depletes their magic power while casting spells, their magic power is automatically replenished.

Unless one suffers extreme emotional trauma that is difficult to heal, leading to a breakdown of willpower, or is attacked and falls unconscious.

This sounds like a 'perpetual motion machine' or 'unlimited energy,' which is extremely unscientific.

But the more idealistic wizarding magic is just so unscientific.

No one can say for sure where this self-replenishing magic comes from, or what other energy or substance it is transformed from.

Dali didn't know either.

He simply used a process of elimination to prove that the wizard's magic did not come from the biochemical energy produced by digesting food.

Because casting spells continuously will not make him feel hungry in advance, and when he is hungry, his mana will be automatically replenished.

At the same time, a wizard's magic is not converted from mental energy, because the mental fatigue felt when concentrating on casting spells continuously and concentrating on reading and studying for the same period of time is about the same.

The mental energy consumed here is only due to concentrating, not because mental energy has been transformed into magic.

It's like having a wizard's talent, which gives you the authority to replenish your magic anytime, anywhere.

Unlike the extraordinary energy in some novels and fantasy movies, you don't need to calculate your 'energy bar' to avoid accidentally running out of extraordinary energy and becoming a gun without bullets.

However, the fact that wizards can automatically replenish mana anytime and anywhere does not mean that everyone is replenishing the exact same amount of mana.

This does not mean that there is no difference in magical power between wizards.

Different wizards have different magical power intensity, magical power reserves, magical power release scale and efficiency.

It's like having unlimited ammunition for all kinds of firearms, but you're a Type 38 rifle, I'm a Barrett, or even a cluster rocket launcher.

Wizards with higher magical skill naturally possess greater magical power. Using the same amount of magical power to cast the same spell, they can achieve better magical effects than wizards with lower magical skill.

Similarly, a wizard with high magical skill will have more magical power stored in their body, and will be able to mobilize and release more magical power in a short time with a single spell.

If the magical energy stored within an ordinary wizard is like a basin of water with an outlet only the thickness of a finger, then the magical energy stored within a legendary wizard like Dudley is comparable to the water stored in a reservoir, with an outlet as wide as a sluice gate large enough for a small cargo ship to pass through.

Although the water stored by everyone can be automatically replenished after use, the difference between a leaky basin and a reservoir releasing water is not small.

Getting back to the main point, a wizard's magic can be automatically replenished instantly, but a combat puppet like Voldemort 1 can't do that.

Although the incomplete magic stone within it can generate a slight amount of magic power, it can also absorb the magic power released by surrounding wizards, just like other active magical items.

However, the magic obtained through these two channels is insufficient in strength and the replenishment speed is too slow, which is not enough to support Old Voldemort No. 1 in exerting his true maximum combat power.

Therefore, before obtaining the concept version of the Restoration Charm, Dudley regularly replenished Voldemort 1's magic power.

……

Inside the room designated for graduation assessment.

After a period of divergent thinking, Dali quietly brought his thoughts back to the present.

He took one last look at the place where Old Fu No. 1 was hiding.

Then he slowly walked to the doorway, turned around, and reached out to draw a magic mark in the air.

He used red magical rays as ink to write in the air:

"The graduation assessment is divided into three levels: pass, good, and excellent. Please quickly select a level and shout it out into the room to enter and take the assessment for the corresponding level."

This is a short instruction manual.

Dali's attention to detail is always so precise.

As for how the professors observing the graduation exam would find out the specific battle situation inside the room, Dudley and Dumbledore had already made arrangements.

Next door is a small room that can serve as a thought assessment room and observation room.

Inside, there is a large magic mirror embedded in the wall, which can broadcast the scene inside the graduation assessment room in real time.

Tomorrow, after the assessment begins, the 7th graders will be in their advanced small rooms, under the witness of the professors, to undergo the final ideological test of the academic year using their Sorting Hats.

Only after passing the ideological test can one be allowed to enter the special room for graduation assessment, select the assessment level, and fight against Old Fu No. 1 to conduct a combat strength assessment.

After settling in Lao Fu No. 1 and completing the finishing touches.

Dudley teleported back to the first-year boys' dormitory in Gryffindor and went to rest.

Tomorrow, everyone will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Ron and his three older brothers from school are going to Hogsmeade to meet Mrs. Weasley and Ginny, and then return to their Burrow together.

During the summer holidays, members of the Hogsmeade Village Muggle Talent Guard Team can take turns to rest, and the safety of the Muggle talents will be strengthened by the Hogwarts professors who are free.

As for Harry, like Dudley, he will not be leaving the school for the time being.

Because after the three-day graduation assessment period, there is an unprecedented major event waiting for them to complete and witness.

……

three days later.

The first Hogwarts graduation exams under the new rules have concluded.

The result was far from ideal.

Of the forty-five seventh-year students in the four academies, thirteen failed the ideological test, leaving thirty-two who passed. Only nine of them passed the combat ability test and were awarded graduation medals, thus graduating smoothly.

Moreover, of the nine seventh-grade students who were able to graduate smoothly, only one passed the combat strength assessment at the 'good' level, while the remaining eight all achieved the most basic 'pass' level.

It's not that Dali has high standards; the students definitely still need to practice.

After the graduation assessment, students will face a decision.

Of the thirty-six who failed the assessment, not one chose to drop out or sever ties with Hogwarts; all opted to postpone their graduation.

Of these 23, the ones who were morally sound naturally did not want to sever ties with Hogwarts. They were prepared to learn from their mistakes and make good use of the next academic year to improve their combat abilities and strive to pass the graduation review next year.

But those thirteen whose thinking wasn't up to par...

From their eyes and micro-expressions, Dali could see confusion, panic, hesitation, and struggle.

It is certain that these people chose to delay their graduation mainly because they were afraid of having their memories of the magical knowledge they learned at Hogwarts erased, so they took the fallback route that Dudley had deliberately prepared for them.

But whether they will voluntarily return to Hogwarts in two months to repeat a year and open their hearts to ideological reform is uncertain.

Dudley's previous threats were powerful, but threats are just threats. There will always be people who don't believe in evil, who will take risks and gamble, forcing Dudley to resort to other means.

Dali has made full psychological preparations for this.

He didn't say much to these people, and expressionlessly let them leave the school with the other seventh-grade students.
