Kyle took out a map and spread it out on the table: "Thank Cedric, otherwise you would really be lost for a while."
"Is this... a map of Hogwarts?"
Mikel was still wondering what it was, but Ryan, who had a wizard father at home, recognized it at a glance, and said pleasantly: "Where did you get it, can I make a copy? I promise to return it after class." You."
"Of course, we are roommates!" Kyle nodded, then turned to look at Mikel and said, "What about you, do you want to copy?"
Mikel was a little tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.
This was his first time entering the wizarding world, and he didn't want to waste any opportunity to learn magic, let alone such a crucial course as Charms.
"Can I wait until after class to copy it?" Mikel asked.
"That's it, no problem."
Kyle nodded, then tapped his wand on the map: "Duplicate it."
The spell was completed, and an identical map instantly appeared on the desktop.
Kyle picked it up and took a closer look, then handed it to Mikel after making sure it was okay.
"Here you go. The magic on it should last about a week. You can copy it anytime you want."
"???"
Mikel took the map with a confused look on his face, then subconsciously turned to look at Ryan who also looked confused.
Ryan was numb. He looked at Kyle, then at the parchment in front of him. He felt his face getting hot. Just when he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from in front of them.
"Nice copying spell, five points for Hufflepuff!"
Kyle was startled and raised his head suddenly, but he only saw Qiu Zhang opposite him. After looking carefully, he found that there was another person standing in front of the table.
The other person was quite short, not even as tall as the table, and was completely blocked when he stood there.
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Flitwick," Kyle said.
Flitwick smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth, Mr. Chopper, that's your name, right?"
Kyle nodded. "Yes, Professor."
"It seems that my memory is not bad." Professor Flitwick said, and then turned to look at Mikel: "Can you show me the map?"
At first, Mikel didn't recognize who the short wizard in front of him was, but he soon remembered the name Kyle had just called him, and quickly handed the map over with both hands.
"Okay...Okay, Professor."
"Thank you."
Flitwick took the map, felt it carefully, and then returned it to Mikel.
"Oh, the magic power is very stable. If there are no accidents, this replica should last until noon eight days later."
Professor Flitwick winked at Kyle and said with a slightly regretful tone, "If the exam question at the end of the semester was about the Copying Spell, I would definitely give you an O, but now, I can only give Hufflepuff another three points."
"professor!"
At this time, a little Ravenclaw witch wondered, "Can't items created with the replication spell exist forever?"
"No, Miss Mittal," said Flitwick. "If copies were permanent, there wouldn't be so many parchments in the windows of the Men of Letters."
"Isn't Dumbledore possible too?" asked another little wizard.
"Unfortunately, no." Professor Flitwick shook his head and continued, "Even if the headmaster can allow the replica he created to exist for a hundred years or even longer, it still won't last forever."
"Okay, let's stop here about the copying spell. It's too early for you, and now we start class."
Professor Flitwick turned around and walked up to the desk, facing all the young wizards and said, "In this class we are going to learn the Illumination Spell, which is also one of the most basic spells. The spell is Luminescent. Everyone, watch carefully..."
Kyle was not surprised to learn the Illumination Spell in the first spell class, because this spell was the simplest and most direct in the magic world.
You don’t need to worry about gestures. As long as you are a wizard, have a magic wand and can speak, you can definitely perform it.
In earlier times, the Illumination Charm was even used to distinguish wizards from Squibs with an extremely high accuracy rate, almost 100%.
It can be said that if someone can't even cast the illumination spell, he is definitely not a wizard.
Based on this situation, Professor Flitwick simply demonstrated the casting process of the Illumination Spell, and then let the young wizards try it on their own.
Soon, dots of light lit up the classroom, some big, some small, some bright, some dim...
Although Kyle was a step slower and not the first one to succeed, the light on his wand was stable.
It's like a light bulb that's been electrified, constantly emitting a steady and soft white light to the surroundings.
Too bad there were no extra points this time.
Because he was not the only one who could do this. There were seven little wizards in the Ravenclaw College across the street who could also make their wands glow steadily.
As for the Hufflepuff side... although there are not many, there are only six fewer people than the opposite side, so the gap is not big.
"Don't forget what I just said. Stay calm and don't panic." Professor Flitwick reminded sharply, "You must calm yourself down, just like you usually do when you pick up something. It is also very important to pronounce the spell correctly. Don't make any mistakes."
Following his reminder, more and more little wizards completed the requirements and performed stable "light bulbs".
Kyle looked at his two roommates... they were still trying.

Chapter 29: The Professor of Spells Who Doubts Life (Please collect and recommend)
Ryan is better off. He has switched from poor contact to flash mode, and the frequency is getting lower and lower. It looks like he is not far from success.
But it was different for Mikel. The light on his wand was very unstable. When it was the brightest, it was as dazzling as a searchlight, and when it was the weakest, it was not much brighter than a firefly. It seemed that it could go out at any time.
But the more this happened, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the more out of control he became. It had become a vicious cycle.
"Well, you..."
Kyle wanted to help him, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Mikel suddenly take a deep breath and then raise his hand holding the wand suddenly.
For no apparent reason, Kyle suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.
This feeling came so suddenly that Kyle had no time to think about it. He turned around almost instinctively, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.
Almost at the same time, a blinding light, like an exploding flash bomb, instantly enveloped the entire Charms classroom.
Although the sudden burst of light disappeared after a second, its impact was catastrophic.
Many little wizards were blinded by the strong light without any preparation. The next second, wailing sounds came from all directions. The little wizards covered their eyes, screamed, and pushed each other, trying to escape from this place. The classroom was in chaos.
Even Professor Flitwick was affected, but he was a professor who had experienced many storms after all, and was not as panicked as the little wizard. He endured the discomfort and comforted everyone in a shrill voice.
"It's okay, don't panic, just be quiet, you'll be able to see it in a while."
Although Professor Flitwick has tried very hard, the results are minimal and the classroom is still in chaos.
If you didn’t know, you would think Voldemort had broken into Hogwarts.
In addition, his direction was also reversed. During the whole process, he had his back to the little wizard and was shouting at the wall behind him.
This made the four wizards in the painting extremely disgusted. Although they were also frightened, the portrait was not a living person after all, and they would not be affected afterwards.
So in their opinion, Flitwick's behavior at this moment was as stupid as a Teboro hog with a broken head.
……
At this time, the only ones who could remain normal in the Charms classroom were Kyle, who had avoided the risks in advance, and a few lucky ones.
But they had no other way to deal with it, so they could only try their best to comfort their companions and help up the little wizards who fell down to prevent stampedes.
It was not until a few minutes later that the aftereffects of the strong light gradually subsided and the little wizards regained their vision.
"Oh, Merlin's beard, this is such a disaster."
Professor Flitwick rubbed his eyes and staggered down from behind the desk.
He just wanted to come down to comfort the little wizard, but because he didn't notice that he was going in the wrong direction, he missed a step and fell down.
Professor Flitwick was furious.
He has been in this business for decades and has experienced countless emergencies, big and small, such as a flying spell hitting a person, a levitation spell summoning a cow, or a lock-opening spell blowing up a lock. He has seen all of these and is not surprised at all.
Because all this was within his expectations... As freshmen, they were not familiar with magic, so it was normal for some problems to occur.
However, he never imagined that something as safe as the Illumination Spell could lead to an accident.
Professor Flitwick, with the anger and expectation of all the young wizards, came to the culprit.
Mikel lay motionless on the table. Professor Flitwick called him several times, but he didn't respond at all and continued to lie there peacefully.
Professor Flitwick also noticed something was wrong, and hurried to Mikel to check him out, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"He's still alive. He must have fallen into a coma due to overdrawing his magic power..."
Hearing this, Kyle also breathed a sigh of relief.
The magic overdraft here does not mean that the blue bar is empty, but that there is no energy left, which is equivalent to an ordinary person not sleeping for two days and two nights.
……
Professor Flitwick's eyes looked somewhat dazed.
Mana overdraft? Just because of a lighting spell?
In just a few minutes, this was the second time he doubted his life. He even began to wonder if he had stayed in Hogwarts for too long and had become somewhat ignorant.
Because throughout the thousands of years of wizarding history, he had never heard of anyone fainting from casting the illumination spell.
"Professor, how about I send him to Madam Pomfrey first?"
Seeing Professor Flitwick standing there in silence, Kyle said tentatively, "It's not good to just lie there all the time. It's better to go get a checkup."
"Yes... we need to go get him checked out. Take him there quickly."
……
After getting Professor Flitwick's permission, Kyle quickly used a levitation spell on Mikel and took him out of the classroom.
According to Professor Flitwick's character, he would definitely give extra points after seeing this scene, but now... he is lucky not to have lost points, so what else does he need?
……
Not long after leaving the classroom, Kyle saw a cat squatting at the corner... Not a cat girl, but a real cat, with two amber eyes staring at him without blinking.
"Mrs. Norris? Great."
