Ye Ting wasn't bored reading alone, but soon, the girls 'topic turned to him.
They talked about the spell he had just cast and how he had pulled out his wand.
Hermione, who loved to get to the bottom of things, asked him first.
"What spell did you use just now?”she asked."Knocked that redhead's wand out of his hand.”
"That's a Disarming Charm," " This is the most commonly used spell in wizard duels," Ye Ting replied casually." The spell is 'Expelliarm'.”
"I know that!" "I remember it was mentioned in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but the teacher said we wouldn't learn it until later years.”
"You actually know how to use such a complicated spell! How did you do it?" Ye Ting, who was also a Muggle, could use such a spell. This was obviously a blow to Hermione, so she couldn't wait to ask him the trick.
" Actually-" Ye Ting explained,""This incantation isn't complicated. It's better to say that among all the incantations that can be used for direct confrontation, the Disarming Curse is the simplest. Although this spell didn't have a very powerful killing effect and was easily blocked by various counter-curses, it had an advantage that other spells couldn't compare to.”
"What advantage?" said Hermione eagerly.
"It is the spell with the shortest syllables and can be used the fastest among the dueling spells. Using this spell would often give one the upper hand in a magic duel.”
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhang Qiu and Mariette nodded in realization and were impressed by Ye Ting's rich knowledge.
However, Hermione was not convinced. She questioned,"I've never read anything like that-Disarming Charms are the shortest-where did you read that? I haven't seen anyone in any of the spellbooks mention anything about the length of different spells.”
"This is my own conclusion. I came to this conclusion after comparing Stunning Spells, Impediment Spells, Body Bind Spells, Dance Spells, and several other simpler dueling spells.”Ye Ting replied.
"But, since the book didn't say anything, how can you be sure that this is the correct conclusion? After all, these books were written by the greatest wizards. Even they did not say so. What makes you think you are right?”
You're really a proud child. No matter what, you're not willing to admit defeat. Let me teach you a lesson.
Ye Ting criticized Hermione in a serious tone.
"Miss Hermione Granger, I presume you haven't been studying Muggle Science properly since you were admitted to Hogwarts?”
"No... yes, but what does that have to do with Muggle science?”Hermione asked, blushing.
"It matters a lot. Muggle science, though not as convenient or magical as magic, is very much worth learning in terms of logic and the way it studies problems. Even if he was studying magic, he could still use it as a reference.
" For example, to study the length of the incantation, I only need to maintain my mana and energy. Under the same abundant situation, with the same loud voice and the same speed, I can clearly and completely cast different incantations. Then, I will record the time separately. This way, I can roughly compare the length of the incantation. This is the variable control method in science.”Ye Ting explained seriously.
" Finally," he concluded," the spirit of science tells us that only through practice can we obtain the truth. It is not advisable to blindly believe in authority. Even Newton's theory, a great man in the scientific world, has been proven to be not true in modern times. There are limitations in many aspects. So, what makes you think that the wizards who wrote these magic textbooks are completely correct? After all, magic was not as rigorous as science.
"If the words of these predecessors are completely correct, then how was the new curse created? After all, there was no mention of these spells in the books of the predecessors. If you go on with your reasoning, the entire wizarding world will never progress again.”
Marieta, who came from a wizarding family, was confused by this explanation. In fact, many wizards were not very logical. However, Hermione Granger, who came from a Muggle family, and Zhang Qiu, who had been in the Muggle world for a long time, barely understood what Ye Ting was saying.
"This is the first time I've heard of such a thought.”Zhang Qiu looked at her clansmen with admiration."Using a scientific method to study magic, you are really a genius.”
Hermione, on the other hand, was a little teary.
She had always thought that she was smart and was not convinced by Ye Ting, but Ye Ting's theory was reasonable and she could not refute it. This put her in an awkward position: She wanted to refute but was speechless. She wanted to apologize but could not bring herself to do so.
In the end, she still chose to apologize.
"I'm…I'm sorry." "I admit that I was wrong. Please forgive me…" she whispered.
But before she could finish, she ran out crying.
