Felix waved his wand and summoned a few plates of snacks. "Please sit down. Let's chat first."

He picked up a piece of chocolate biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth very naturally. The taste of chocolate lifted his spirits.

Hermione looked at him strangely. Did the professor not eat?

"How was your summer vacation?" Felix picked up another biscuit. "

It was very good. My family went to France. I saw a lot of interesting magic and wrote them all in my thesis on the history of magic." Hermione introduced her summer vacation experience happily.

Felix nodded in agreement from time to time. Soon the two plates of snacks were emptied. He tapped the table with his wand and the small plate was immediately filled.

"Professor, you didn't have dinner?"

"Uh... yes, you should try it too. It tastes quite good."

Felix stopped when he was seven-tenths full and slowly made himself a cup of tea. "I saw the postcard you sent. Actually, I went to France during the holidays."

"Really?" The little witch blinked her eyes and asked with interest, "Did you go there for a trip?"

"I went to Paris for a few days for business, and some things happened during the holidays..." Felix briefly talked about his experience and then asked, "You should have practiced magic runes during the holidays, right?"

"Of course!" Hermione didn't want the professor to think that she was playing all the time during the holidays, so she quickly said, "I put everything in a beaded bag and carried it with me, magic rune carving knives, chestnut paper, and my holiday homework..."

"I'll show you." She took out a small bag from her wizard robe, tapped the magic wand on it, and pieces of chestnut paper flew out, and soon they were stacked high.

These chestnut papers were improved from chestnut wood boards. Except for the difference in color, the others were very similar to parchment.

Felix picked up the top few pieces, which should represent the highest level of the little witch. He carefully looked at the dense magic rune symbols on them.

Hermione introduced, "I used one-third of it to practice individual runes, and the rest to practice rune circuits, which you told me about before. However, I have only mastered the circuits used on the beaded bag."

"You really break my expectations of you time and time again." Felix praised generously.

He took Hermione to the workbench, "Let me open my eyes, Miss Granger."

Hermione sat on the chair with a serious expression, picked up her chestnut wood carving knife, and quickly sketched out a rune. After a summer vacation, her hands were very stable, and the magic power was running more smoothly, without any dullness and sluggishness from the previous school year.

Then, one rune symbol after another was sketched out, and the whole process was like flowing clouds and water, with a touch of elegant beauty.

Felix stared at the tip of the rune carving knife, watching it pour out a lively red light, like a dancing elf, and he subconsciously remembered the experience of discussing the scaling spell with Flitwick during the day.

Magical balance;

and the agility he saw now...

He gently hooked his fingers, and symbols appeared in the air one by one.

Hermione wrote down seventeen runes in one breath. This was the most difficult set of runes she had mastered. "The next step is to connect them one by one. You can do it!" She encouraged herself.

Then she carefully pulled out the magic lines from the runes, connecting and pulling the individual runes together. She was so careful that she completely ignored the perception of the outside world.

Felix also imitated Hermione's steps. The runes in the air automatically connected together, and the construction of the entire circuit was completed at a faster speed than the little witch.

As if he had a flash of inspiration, he connected the circuit from beginning to end to form a ring.

"This feels like the pattern on the meditation basin!"

Felix suddenly had an epiphany. He looked at the ring in his hand, broke it up again, turned it into individual runes, and then reconnected them.

The magic flowed in the ring like water waves, and the movement and stillness contained the ultimate beauty. At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He wanted to try to restore the complete Zooming Spell.

Not the spliced ​​version that Flitwick and he had studied, but the real ancient magic.

He had already spent a lot of time on this magic, and today he was inspired twice - Flitwick's magic balance theory, and Granger's magical agility.

'Maybe there is hope of success today?'

More symbols appeared. Felix first materialized the known magic runes of the Zooming Spell, and a hollow sphere composed of magic runes took shape little by little...

On the other side, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, 'Successfully completed the first set of magic runes.' She looked at her work with satisfaction, and could hardly find any mistakes - at least from her point of view.

'Draw out the rest as well, and surprise the professor.' The little witch thought to herself, and at this moment, she suddenly found a jumping little thing standing on the edge of the chestnut paper - she was not unfamiliar with it, having seen it too many times in the thinking hut.

It was definitely a magic rune symbol!

Hermione turned back hesitantly, "Professor..." But her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen something incredible.

"The professor moved the mind cabin into reality?!"

In Hermione's eyes, Professor Hepp was holding a complex hollow sphere in his hand, surrounded by hundreds of magic symbols of different colors, and new magic symbols were constantly emerging, covering most of the room.

She stared at the hollow sphere, a small half of which was missing, like some kind of artwork with incomplete beauty. She had seen similar exhibits at art exhibitions.

But Professor Hepp obviously did not approve of this "incomplete beauty". He was trying to restore the sphere. One by one, the magic symbols were summoned by him and swirled around the edge of the sphere. Occasionally, one or two symbols seemed to be attracted and connected to the sphere. It

was not until this moment that Hermione realized that the sphere was actually built with magic symbols.

She was a little confused for a moment. Magic symbols, magic circuits, what was above, magic ball?

Although she was full of doubts, she slowed down her movements, and even her breathing was inaudible.

One of the biggest benefits of being an assistant in the ancient magic rune class is that she can always passively refresh her understanding of magic runes and expand it to new boundaries time and time again.

Felix now only feels that he has entered a magical state. He can rely on his intuition to eliminate some options and choose the correct magic rune.

He tried to complete the incomplete parts. The progress was going smoothly. The only thing he had to worry about was that this ancient magic might have runes that he had not yet mastered...

The hollow sphere was becoming complete little by little, and Felix's confidence was also increasing little by little. He had a strong premonition that he would succeed tonight.

As time passed, the surface of the hollow sphere began to jump with strands of golden arcs, which seemed to symbolize that he was only a little bit away from success. It seemed that he was just missing a rune.

But after another five minutes, Felix shed a drop of cold sweat. My God, it can't be that short?

Just one rune?

Free rune symbols lined up in a row and kept flying past him. The air in the office was torn and made a rustling sound.

"This one is not, and this one is not..."

He forced himself to calm down. Even if he failed this time, it didn't matter. He was very close to success, wasn't he?

In a relaxed state, he suddenly thought of a subversive idea.

"Why don't I deduce the only missing rune based on the existing gap?"

His eyes were fixed on the only gap in the hollow sphere.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He had even analyzed some features of the unknown rune.

With an idea, he became calmer and calmer. The surging magic power subsided. He put most of his consciousness in the thinking room and kept trying to construct the rune he imagined.

Soon, the first attempt began. An incomplete symbol emerged in the air. It just disappeared halfway after being outlined.

Error... again!

The thinking room can only be imagined, not verified. But at this moment, he used the thinking room to speed up his thinking and tried his best to buy time.

Unknowingly, he broke the operating speed of the thinking room, from three times, four times, and soared all the way.

It is foreseeable that he will not have a good time in the next few days...

From Hermione's perspective, the construction of the hollow sphere seemed to be stuck at the last step, and Professor Hepp began to constantly outline a mysterious symbol in the air, and its shape changed slightly every time.

A terrible guess emerged in her mind. Is Professor Hepp creating his own rune?

What kind of talent is this!

Is she really not in the thinking room?

Half an hour passed, and after countless failures, a brilliant golden rune was drawn. As soon as it appeared, it was attracted to the hollow sphere and merged with it.

Dazzling golden light burst out from the gaps in the hollow sphere, accompanied by a "hissing" sound like melting metal, and the gaps closed little by little until a complete sphere was formed.

Felix held the hollow sphere with one hand, bathing in the golden light. At this moment, all the pressure disappeared, and he felt unprecedented joy, as if his body and mind had been thoroughly cleansed.

Hermione stared at the scene in front of her blankly. She suddenly remembered the great names she saw when she was reading the Encyclopedia Britannica as a child. The book used all kinds of beautiful words to describe them: genius, great man, hero, legend...

She was still young at the time, and she asked her father with difficulty while holding the exaggeratedly proportioned book: "Dad, what is a legend?"

Her father whispered: "Maybe those people who transcend the times and are born only once in a thousand years."

"Are they smart? Or powerful?"

"I think more than that. There has never been a shortage of smart people in history, nor is there a shortage of people who possess power."

"What exactly is that?"

"I can't explain it clearly, dear, but I think at least they are people who have reached the pinnacle with the recognition and blessings of countless people."

...

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this little thing, but an idea was like a seed breaking through the ground, growing rapidly in her mind until it grew into a towering tree -

'If a legend is born in this era, it must be Professor Hep, right? '
