"People are restless, both scared and excited." A girl shook her head and said.

"Oh, Luna... you are absolutely right." Ginny agreed with her and stood on tiptoe with everyone to see more clearly.

On the stage, Felix said to everyone: "It's good to gain some experience. Mr. Polyarco, I will cooperate with your demonstration." He waved his wand, and the broken wooden board transformed into a human-shaped target.

Polyarco drew out his wand, raised it over his shoulder, and chanted a spell: "Whirlwind Black Feather!" A black whirlwind surged from the tip of the wand and flew quickly towards the human-shaped target. The young wizards could clearly see that the black wind was mixed with deeper black feathers, which were also spinning rapidly. After a sound that made people's

teeth ache, the human-shaped target was covered with wounds. The black wind and the black feathers disappeared, leaving only wounds that were open and closed like a fish's mouth.

The people in the audience gasped, and more students in the distance jumped up and down on their tiptoes, trying to see more clearly.

"If this hits a person..." Neville said, looking at the wound on the target with a wince, "I still think the Stunning Spell is the most effective."

Seamus patted his shoulder, "Others don't think so..." Neville looked across the ring and saw Draco and several Slytherin students clapping enthusiastically. He looked around and saw that there were quite a few excited people.

"This is the Black Feather Spell, which forms a whirlwind and quickly approaches the enemy, but the key is those black feathers, which are like small knives, extremely fast, and corrosive..." Polyarco introduced this magic.

Felix and the others listened quietly. At this time, the wound on the human-shaped target began to turn black, which seemed to verify that what he said was true.

"What is the general healing effect?" Felix asked softly.

"Well, it's better to use a counterspell, otherwise the effect will be poor... but it will work to some extent." Polyarco said, "So the professor suggested that we use it when we are surrounded by dangerous creatures in the wild, such as wolves."

"And when I practice this magic, I always imagine myself being surrounded by a group of vicious creatures and having to fight back..." He began to talk about his mentality when learning this black magic.

Felix saw the thoughtful and eager expressions of the little wizards, and had to remind them: "This method may have a certain effect, but the product based on the perfect operating mechanism of Durmstrang is not suitable for Hogwarts. Maybe I should tell Professor Moody about your ideas. He must be very interested."

The little wizards moved their heads away embarrassedly.

Felix understood their ideas. After all, he was restless when he was in school. Who doesn't want to master a powerful and eye-catching magic? But when he became a professor, his mentality changed in some way. For the students of Hogwarts, do they really need black magic?

He had thought deeply about this issue and concluded that it was negative. Hogwarts is not a military school. It is a place to train young wizards to use their magic properly, and provide a certain degree of targeted guidance based on what each person is good at. As for protecting themselves, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is enough to deal with common dangers. In particular, the teaching quality in recent years is not bad, and the number of people who apply for Auror has increased a lot compared with previous years.

Felix did think about letting senior students get in touch with some dark magic, but intensively studying dark magic in a short period of time can easily breed darkness in people's hearts, so it is better not to do it.

"If you can avoid side effects, why not try to learn one or two?" Ron asked in a low voice.

"Because you don't know if you are affected, it may be a subtle change," Hermione said sharply, "For a good wizard, he has many ways to correct himself."

"Maybe you are right, but I think ordinary dark magic is definitely not that effective." Ron said the truth.

The exchange continued-

Cedric demonstrated the application of ancient runes, and-Felix was surprised to find that he chose a route he had once given up-integrating rune symbols into modern magic.

Cedric smiled shyly, "I thought so. When I was practicing the 'Water Flow' rune, its magical image was very much like a spring. I immediately thought of the Clear Water Like a Spring spell. I suddenly wondered if I could combine the two. I tried for a long time before I succeeded."

Felix smiled. It seems that everyone has grown up, but I don't know how far Cedric has studied.

At this time, Cedric held the magic wand in his right hand and quickly drew a magic rune in the air. The magic rune flashed twice and immediately turned into a phantom like a waterfall or a spring, casting a hazy light.

Cedric nervously stretched out his magic wand and poked the tip of the wand into the image of the magic rune.

"Clear Water Like a Spring!" He seized the opportunity to shout. His magic wand flashed, and the spell seemed to absorb the phantom of the magic rune, turning into three free streams of water, swimming around the tip of the magic wand.

"The next step is to throw them out--" Cedric said carefully, and then he pointed his wand hard, and the water flow quickly hit the human-shaped target before, making a dull sound, and the target was knocked far away and hit the wall.

The young wizards stared blankly at the target in the corner. If the person who was cursed was a living person, they could already imagine him holding his stomach and groaning on the ground in pain.

"Why do I feel that his spell can knock people out... What kind of magic is this?" Ron asked in surprise.

"It should be a water-making spell. I saw it in the sixth-grade spell textbook when I was looking up information. Cedric happened to be in the sixth grade, but..." Hermione's expression was very tangled, "I saw that the introduction of the spell didn't have this effect. Could it be that, as he said, it used magic runes?"

Her fingertips flashed with bright magic runes, turning quickly.

Many senior students talked and whispered. They knew what the spell "Clear Water Like a Spring" was, and the effect was not that strong at all, but after Cedric's improvement, the power seemed to be no worse than some attack spells.

Next, several warriors came out one after another to show their abilities. It was hard to say what these little wizards who were watching had learned. Maybe many of them were just watching the fun, but at least they had broadened their horizons.

And Felix clearly felt that the mentality of the warriors had changed. Maybe they were still opponents at the moment, but they didn't mind being more frank, or in other words, they were both enemies and friends, and there was more of a sense of mutual respect?

Felix was thinking in his heart whether to bring up the exchange meeting again - since the last exchange with Ilvermorny School of Magic and Witchcraft failed, there has been no similar event. After

the exchange meeting, the little wizards were very curious about the skills displayed by different schools, but they could only find Cedric, so he had to demonstrate it publicly several times.

"Timing is very important. I haven't figured out this part of the principle yet, and I'm going to ask Professor Hep for advice." Cedric said.

At the gathering of the Magic Club, Felix revealed the mystery of this part of knowledge.

"I did find this phenomenon, just like what Mr. Diggory said. It's just that I had a hypothesis first--" Felix sat by the warm fireplace and looked around at everyone.

"Is it possible for ancient magic and modern magic to merge?"

The members of the club were stunned. Most of them were unfamiliar with this period of history. They only knew that ancient wizards used ancient magic and they used modern magic. As for how the transition happened in between, not many people knew it clearly.

"Of course, there are too many thoughts involved. A detailed explanation may not even take up enough space for a paper, so I will briefly summarize it. After many thoughts and attempts, I turned my breakthrough to the direction of whether ancient magic and modern magic can be merged."
