What are the benefits of boosting mental strength?
If previously you judged based on the power of the spell, but didn't have a very direct experience of it yourself...
Now, Charles can clearly appreciate the wonder of it.
After continuously stuffing knowledge into the memory palace and gradually improving one's mental state, the quantitative change seems to have led to a qualitative change.
At this moment, Charles felt more refreshed and energetic than ever before.
It's like waking up after a long, tiring sleep; the sunlight is exceptionally bright, and the flowers and plants are particularly beautiful.
Even things that are commonplace in daily life seem to have a different feel to them.
Furthermore, even Ciel's thinking speed and reaction speed have improved compared to before.
Facing the same enemy, even a slight improvement in reaction speed can make a big difference in the outcome of a battle.
Moreover, Ciel can apparite short distances, and the improvement in reaction speed becomes even more noticeable after using Blink, allowing him to recover and cast spells more quickly after Blink.
Charles suddenly realized something and recalled the scene in the original book where Dumbledore fought Voldemort.
Logically speaking, Dumbledore was 110 years old at that time, and Voldemort was already in his sixties or seventies.
Their battle was practically the battle of the old man; if a Muggle of that age were to fight, it would be a miracle if they didn't develop dementia.
Not only were they agile, but their reactions were also frighteningly fast. The young wizards present were overwhelmed by their speed, yet they were still able to continuously use short-range apparitions to fight and cast spells at the last possible moment.
Shire initially thought the reason was that Voldemort had undergone dark magic transformation, making him different from ordinary people, while Dumbledore might have drunk some kind of potion, which was why his reaction speed was still so fast.
But now it seems that perhaps it is because of their strong spirit that their reaction speed has not declined even at this age!
"The spirit truly is the cornerstone of magic in the Harry Potter world."
"No wonder Harry Potter's strength increased so rapidly during his escape in his seventh year. This period was a test of his spirit and will. Every day he underwent a spiritual transformation. Even without studying at Hogwarts, his strength was increasing like crazy."
Charles's eyes were bright.
"However, I don't need to be tested in extreme conditions like Harry Potter; reading books will suffice."
"The more books you read, the fuller your memory palace becomes, and the stronger your spirit will naturally become."
"If all the knowledge in the Hogwarts Library were filled into the memory palace, even if I didn't deduce any magic during that time, the power of the existing magic, with its astonishing spiritual enhancement, would increase several times or even ten times."
"Dumbledore? Voldemort? I'm invincible, do whatever you want!"
Immediately, Shire opened the carriage door and followed the excited young wizards out of the Hogwarts Express, heading towards Hogwarts Castle as indicated.
More than ten minutes later, at the end of the narrow path, in the already dark night, the black lake came into view.
Under the moonlight, the waves of Black Lake shimmered with white light, like fine snow falling on the black earth.
Across the Black Lake, perched atop a cliff, stands a majestic ancient castle—Hogwarts, the dream of countless young wizards!
Upon seeing Hogwarts, the young wizards exclaimed in unison. The fatigue from a day's train journey and trekking through the mountains seemed to vanish, and they chattered excitedly like birds.
"Hogwarts? That's Hogwarts!"
Among the crowd, the bespectacled boy with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, Harry Potter, the savior, excitedly called out to his companions.
Ron, with his red hair, was equally excited, almost dancing with joy.
Hermione, though excited, couldn't help but look at Ciel, who was standing alone in a corner of the crowd.
Hermione cautiously looked around Ciel, but didn't see the girls he had created with Transfiguration earlier, and felt a little secretly pleased.
Hermione walked through the crowd and came to the Ciel again, greeting him.
"Ciel, I wonder if you remember me? I am...
Ciel felt a headache coming on as he looked at Hermione, who kept trying to get closer to him.
"Hermione Granger, I know, we've met in Diagon Alley."
"We seem to have met many times before in competitions at Muggle schools."
Hermione paused for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Ciel to bring this up.
She then became excited, her eyes shining.
"I've never beaten you before, but now that we're at Hogwarts, in a completely new place, we're going to learn magic."
"Ciel, I will definitely surpass you."
Ciel smiled helplessly and nodded repeatedly in agreement, using the child-rearing techniques he had learned in his previous life to absentmindedly dismiss Hermione.
Just as Hermione was still talking, Harry Potter and Ron arrived, panting, as they made their way through the crowd.
"Hermione, what are you doing here?"
"We all thought you were lost..."
"Who is this?"
Harry Potter and Ron looked at Ciel, but before Ciel could speak, Hermione, still excited, chattered away and revealed Ciel's identity.
"Charles Evans, you must have heard of him, right?"
Harry Potter was stunned for a moment, then gasped.
"Cial Evans, that famous, most brilliant student in all of Britain? You're going to Hogwarts too?!"
"Your aunt's family never misses a TV or newspaper report about you, saying it's to inspire Dali to become an excellent student like you."
"I, I, am so honored."
Harry Potter extended his hands, shaking hands with Ciel with a mixture of bewilderment and excitement.
Ron, standing to the side, looked completely puzzled.
Charles Evans?
He didn't know anything about the Muggle world, so he wasn't familiar with this name that was so famous among Muggle students.
But in Ron's eyes, the person beside him was Harry Potter, the boy who survived a great calamity.
How could a hero who saves the magical world be so enthusiastic and admiring towards another little wizard?
Seeing Harry shaking hands with Ciel so enthusiastically, Ron suddenly felt a little uneasy and changed the subject.
"Shire, I noticed you've been here the whole time, not looking at Hogwarts Castle, but at the Black Lake."
"What's so interesting about Black Lake? What did you see?"
Upon hearing Ron's question, Charles slowly grinned.
With his back to everyone, orange, ancient dragon-like vertical pupils appeared in his eyes, his gaze seeming to penetrate the waters of the Black Lake, looking into its depths.
The scent of the lake water also carried the scents of countless magical creatures.
With his spirit strengthened once more, Ciel could almost feel their magic!
Gudu, Gudu.
Charles could hear himself swallowing.
He grinned.
"Don't you guys think Black Lake looks like a giant hot pot?"
"I was thinking, it would be delicious to cook some fish slices or octopus in it."
