Chapter 757 I'm Smart

"Yes, Harry... take it, put your finger on the dot on the piece of paper, and stand there still."

"Ron! Didn't I say that? Hold up the right hand piece of paper...it has to be above your head! Up, up up—"

"Okay, that's right... Then I should take this last piece of paper and walk among you..."

In the Response Room, Hermione was instructing Harry and Ron to put on a strange pose—they stood facing each other with a certain distance in between, and at the same time, one hand was slanted and the other was raised high, both hands were cautious Holding a piece of hard cardboard.

And the front of the four pieces of paper—that is, the side on which several runes were drawn, was facing a dummy for spell training not far away.

However, it is worth mentioning that all three of them wore armor without exception, obviously because they were worried that some possible accidents would happen suddenly.

"Remember, just keep this movement, don't move!" Hermione kept reminding as she walked between the two of them, "Be as precise as possible for the first time, and only after that is the error tolerance. test……"

Although she kept talking, her hands didn't hesitate at all, and soon she came to her position, and directly confirmed the distance between her and Harry and the others with her eyes.

"Hermione," Ron couldn't help but raised his arms, "I can probably guess what you want to do, but... can't we use the Levitation Charm to play with these pieces of paper?"

Hermione didn't even look at him when she heard it.

"Casting spells at close range will interfere with them—" she said without raising her head, "Don't ask me why, all I know for now is that those interferences do exist."

"Oh, I didn't mean to ask why..." Ron couldn't help muttering in a low voice when he heard this.

But this time, Hermione finally turned her head and glared at him as usual.

"Then don't ask anything!" She said angrily, "Just do as I tell you... Also, your right hand is retracted again! How many times do you want me to say it?"

Seeing this, Harry on the opposite side could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

When Hermione is concentrating on studying and researching, the best way to deal with it is to talk less and do more-why doesn't Ron understand it until now?

For a moment while Harry was thinking this way, Hermione seemed to have finally confirmed everything.

"All right!"

She suddenly stood up between the two of them, holding the fifth piece of paper she was in charge of, and gently lifted it up and brought it in front of her.

"Now, listen!" she said earnestly, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning? If you find something is wrong, immediately throw away the paper and lie down on your head, now listen to me counting... three... two... ..."

"laugh--"

Just when Hermione put her right index finger on the dot on the piece of paper, she heard the sound of the piece of paper being ignited, followed by a "bang" sound.

At that moment, Hermione immediately let go of the piece of paper in her hand, and watched as the paper with many runes painted on it completely turned into a small ball of faint blue fire, which burned up before it hit the ground.

"Oh!"

Harry's reaction was even faster than Hermione's. He had already dropped the paper when he discovered that it had started to spontaneously ignite for no reason.

Only Ron, because he was more or less half a beat behind, his fingers were burned by the flames that quickly spread across the paper.

"Ron, are you all right?"

Harry asked the good buddy in front of him who was clutching his fingers and jumping his feet with concern, for fear that the strange blue flame would burn Ron to something good or bad.

But between the two, Hermione didn't even change her face. Seeing that the piece of paper that took a lot of effort was burned in an instant, only a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and walked towards her book bag.

As for Ron... Wasn't he just scalded by the flame?

Although the blue flame looked a bit weird, there was nothing unusual about it, and it was even slightly cooler than ordinary flames.

"Is it really because of the material... Well, at least this is enough to prove that my idea is correct! If the combination of runes is to work better, the wizard must provide some kind of energy..."

While muttering to herself, Hermione picked up some pieces of wood that were about the same size as the pieces of paper just now from the floor next to the bookbag. It seemed that she had already guessed that the pieces of paper might not work.

"But at that time, why can Maca use cardboard to make them effective?"

The ancient rune experiment she prepared early this morning was based on the method that Maca had demonstrated in class. Of course, for this experiment, Hermione spent a lot of time and energy, which is also a fact.

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now, now we have to hurry up and carry out the experiment..." Putting aside the doubts in her mind for the time being, Hermione grabbed a few pieces of wood and turned around, "It's still the same as before. Take your place - Ron! Don't look at me that way, what we have to do today is not even the first step!"

After that, the three cooperated with each other to try several wood and metal carriers.

Hermione soon discovered that most of the runes engraved on the board took effect quickly, but the effect came and went quickly, causing sawdust to fly many times in a row.

For this reason, a sharp wooden thorn was pierced into Harry's palm, causing him to shake his hands in pain and say that he needed to go to the school hospital to find Madam Pomfrey.

Contrary to Hermione's guess, the material she thought had great potential - metal, had almost no reaction.

But this also made Harry and Ron secretly relieved, because they both felt that if the metal plate exploded, their hands might really be lost.

"The last one, we should go to class after trying it!"

As Hermione was speaking, she handed out four palm-sized stone slabs to Harry and the others. After such a series of attempts, the two of them had already gotten used to posing with their arms raised, and they raised their hands very consciously after taking the stone slab.

"Many ancient rune texts were found on stone slabs, so we have reason to believe that this is the most reliable carrier material..." Hermione said as she walked towards the middle, "Of course, this is just my guess. .”

"So if it doesn't work, we have to keep trying like this every day?" Ron suddenly said weakly, "Oh, Hermione, my arms are sore! I mean it—"

"Every day?" Hermione pursed her lips and shook her head before continuing, "Do you think carving runes is an easy task? Stop complaining and lift the slate to its proper position! "

After all, she confirmed the position and orientation of the four stone slabs again, and then grabbed her own stone slab and stretched forward.

"Get ready," Hermione whispered, "three...two..."

The countdown could be heard, and she put her index finger on a certain dot groove on the stone slab. And when her fingertips slightly felt the graininess of the special ink in the groove after drying, Harry and Ron suddenly felt their hands tremble slightly.

In an instant, the runes on the four stone slabs revealed a layer of soft blue light, and all of a sudden it converged from the four corners to the stone slab in Hermione's hand.

It may be complicated to say, but in fact, it is just a blink of an eye, and a blue light beam visible to the naked eye immediately shoots out to a large area in front of it in a radial manner.

"boom!"

It seemed that a certain ray of brilliance pierced directly through the dummy's shoulder, and it fell heavily on the wall behind it without losing momentum.

And more, it was distributed in a large area around the dummy, walls, floors and even ceilings, completely bombarded the front in a disorderly manner.

At the same time, the entire piece of dust and gravel suddenly scattered and splashed.

In order to block the stone chips flying towards them, Harry and Ron hastily turned their backs, presumably to avoid injury to their handsome faces.

And the next moment they changed their movements, those light beams were also interrupted. Only Hermione was still standing there holding the slate, with a surprised expression on her face.

"Oh..." She said in a daze, "It succeeded! It really succeeded... I really succeeded!"

"You call that just 'success'?" Ron held the back of his head and said with a miserable face, "Hermione, you're trying to murder..."

"Of course it succeeded!" Hermione immediately waved her hand, "Did you see? No need to chant spells, no need to swing a staff, just place the position and it can be triggered directly! Even faster than Maca's reduced Crushing Curse !"

"You mean... this is the Shattering Curse?" Harry on the side asked in surprise, "'Bones to pieces'?"

Hermione shook her head quickly when she heard it.

"No, it's not—" she explained, "it's just that the effect is somewhat similar... Based on the 'purple shirt', 'harvest' and 'expansion' in the runes, through the 'oblique cross interpretation method' combined with the 'flowing water' To increase the power..."

"Wait! Wait..." Harry waved his hands immediately, "It's useless even if you tell us this, we don't understand...I just want to know, this...you came up with it?"

"Huh?" Hermione looked at the slate in her hand repeatedly with joy in her eyes, and said casually, "Maca has taught me a lot of knowledge. I just tried to combine them. This can't be regarded as my idea."

"Oh! Come on!" Ron said helplessly, "You're not the only one taking the n.e.w.ts course of ancient magic literature. Why haven't I seen others come up with this?"

As he was talking, he paused for a moment, and then said frankly: "Hermione, you are smart enough to admit it! If you continue to be humble, how will you let others live?"

"Really?" Hermione spread her hands, "Isn't it the first time you guys know that I'm smart?"
