The wooden house was not big, but very cozy. Every corner was cleaned very cleanly. There was a low fence around it. An old couple was looking at them with a smile next to them.
"Grandpa Newt?"
"Grandma Tina?"
Kyle looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise.
He didn't expect that the teachers Chris was talking about were actually Newt and Tina, but if it was them, then there would be no problem.
"Little Kyle, aren't you going to learn Occlumency? Why are you still standing there? Come in."
Tina walked up to Kyle, pinched his face, took him into the room, and brought him a lot of cookies and homemade bread.
Kyle sighed inwardly. Although he had just finished breakfast, he still ate a lot and stuffed his mouth full.
After he couldn't eat any more, Kyle rubbed his stomach and asked, "Grandma Tina, are you going to teach me this time?"
Among the people in this room, Tina is probably the one with the highest level of brain occlumency.
There was no other way, since her sister Queenie was a natural Legilimency master, and if her Occlumency wasn't good, she would have no secrets in front of her sister.
Tina smiled and shook her head and said, "I am only responsible for teaching you the basic theory, but what happens afterwards has nothing to do with me."
"Not you?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Newt in confusion.
"Neither am I, kid." Newt put an open box on the ground and said with a smile, "Come with me, I'll take you to see it."
amount……
After seeing the box, Kyle suddenly had a bad feeling.
But by this time Newt had already gone in, so he could only follow.
The space inside the box is very large, very large. It is full of trees and even has several complete rivers and lakes. It looks like a real forest.
Newt walked forward and brought Kyle to an open space by the lake.
After seeing the two people, a leopard walked over gracefully from not far away, as if it was waiting for them to come over.
Its bright blue eyes stared at Newt and Kyle, and it lowered its head slightly.
"This is Nadali." Newt gently scratched the panther's chin and said with a smile, "Remember, Kyle, every panther is a natural Legilimency."
"of course I remember."
Kyle twitched the corners of his mouth, and his bad premonition became stronger.
At this time, Chris also came over. He patted Kyle on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it? The teacher I found for you is not bad, right?"
"So, my teacher is really Nadali the cat-leopard?"
"That's right." Chris said, "If you want to learn the brain block technique as quickly as possible, you must have enough pressure, because only in this way can you stimulate the strong emotions deep in your heart. So we discussed it and unanimously decided to let Natalie be your teacher, and she agreed."
"Once you have learned the basic theory, we will send you here. Then she will attack you, and all you have to do is try not to get beaten too badly."
"If you can hold out for five minutes without any harm, your Occlumency will have been successful."
"Wait... five minutes?" Kyle suddenly interrupted Chris and said in disbelief, "This is a cat-leopard. Even if I learn the brain-blocking technique, I will definitely not be its opponent."
The six-legged cat-leopard is one of the fastest magical beasts. To be honest, if it wants to beat Kyle, it doesn't need to use Legilimency at all, that would be unnecessary.
"Don't worry." Newt comforted: "Natalie is very smart, she knows what to do."
"But……"
Kyle wanted to say something else, but the cat-leopard named Natalie came over and rubbed his face gently.
"Meow..."
"Of course I believe you." Kyle scratched its chin quickly, "I just think this method is a little unreliable..."
"On the contrary, I think this is the best way to do it." Chris said seriously: "If we were to teach you, we would also use Legilimency to put pressure on you, just like when facing a cat-leopard.
But the difference is that Cat Leopard can practice with you anytime and anywhere, which we can't do.
Plus, she won’t expose the little secrets in your head.”
Kyle thought about it and suddenly felt that what Chris said made sense.
Being subjected to legilimency isn't a very pleasant feeling, but if it's a cat-leopard, it's certainly a lot easier to accept.
"Okay, I agree." Kyle nodded.
The cat purred with satisfaction, then raised its front legs and gave Kyle a standard front kick.
"Whoosh!"
Without any surprise, Kyle spun and flew into the lake nearby.
Chris and Newt next to them were startled, but they soon guessed what was going on.
"It seems that we don't need to teach him the basic theory." Newt said with a smile: "I want to go and see Anar, he just gave birth to a litter of little sniffers, and he is still very weak.
What about you, are you going back to the Ministry?"
Chris shook his head and said, "I'll go with you. Today is my day off."
Newt nodded and walked towards another area.
Chris followed behind, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted, "Remember not to use spells!"
A hand stretched out from the lake and waved at him.

Chapter 128 Newt, Danger!
What would happen if a wizard faced an adult leopard without a wand or any magic... No one knew more about this than Kyle.
He had been in Dorset for a week, and during these days he had been beaten almost all the time except for eating and sleeping.
The cat's blue eyes could see through Kyle's every thought.
So no matter how he tried to hide, the claw with pink pads would always appear accurately in front of Kyle, and then hit him lightly or heavily.
The intensity of the attack depends mainly on Kyle's use of Occlumency.
The judgment method is also very simple.
If the cat-leopard saw something blurry, it would just pat it lightly as a formality; otherwise, it would kick Kyle into the lake without mercy.
In the past two days, Kyle had to complete a long-distance dive almost every few minutes, and his clothes were always wet.
But as the days went by, Kyle's diving became less and less frequent.
A week later, the cat's claws had become much lighter when they landed again. Kyle just staggered slightly and stood up again as if nothing had happened.
"Very good Kyle, remember to clear your mind of those messy thoughts and emotions."
Next to her, Tina, who was assisting from the sidelines, was holding a small Niffler and said loudly, "Don't worry about what's going to happen to you next. Stay calm and focus on the present!"
Unlike Chris and Newt who had never been here, Tina would come here to visit for a while every day. When she found that Kyle was getting anxious or too emotional, she would remind him.
After hearing her words, Kyle quickly turned his head and gave a thumbs up.
The cat-leopard opposite tilted its head, a look of surprise on its face.
Obviously, it didn't "see" Kyle's action just now, otherwise it would have slapped him.
Tina raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she noticed something.
After leaving the box, she returned to the room and found Newt fiddling with the cauldron.
"I think you can write to Chris."
"So fast?"
Newt looked up in surprise and asked, "It's only been a week, and he can already resist Natalie's Legilimency?"
“Almost done.” Tina put the Sniff in her arms aside and said with a smile, “Natalie is no longer as leisurely as she was at the beginning, and her movements are much faster.
I could see that she was attacking purely on instinct, not Legilimency.
It’s just that neither Kyle nor she realized it.”
After all, cats and leopards are magical animals. Even if it is an instinctive reaction of the body, they will subconsciously think that they "saw" it, it's just blurry.
"It seems that what Dumbledore said is right. Kyle is indeed an excellent kid. I thought he would need to stay here for half a month."
Newt stood up, brushed off the herbal debris on his body, and said with a smile: "Then I will write a letter to Chris now and ask him to pick Kyle up."
"Hmm...wait a minute." Tina suddenly asked, "Did they say there was anything to do recently?"
“Probably not.” Newt thought for a moment and said, “I remember when Chris left, he said he would pick up Kyle to go shopping in Diagon Alley before school started.”
Tina thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to rush. Let Kyle stay here for a few more days. It just so happens that I haven't seen him for a long time."
“Um…didn’t you ask me to write a letter just now?” Newt scratched his head.
Tina said nothing, but just glared at him with a straight face.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Newt squatted back in front of the crucible and added some white powder into it.
The liquid in the crucible soon turned into a beautiful light yellow color, and a pink smoke floated out.
Next to it, the little sniffler who was holding a spoon and stuffing it into his inner pocket suddenly stopped at the things in his hands. He wrinkled his nose, stared at the crucible without blinking, and saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
It seemed that the contents of the crucible had a great attraction to it.
Xiu Xiu's black eyes rolled around, and he climbed up to a nearby shelf with a grunt. Then, he found the right angle, and with a strong push of his short legs, he was about to jump into the crucible.
As a result, when it was still in mid-air, a big hand held it up.
"No, it's not the right time yet. Be patient."
Newt shook his head at it and said, "Also, don't hide the spoon. Take it out now."
Little Sniff covered his pocket with his hands and started to run with his remaining three short legs.
"This is not okay."
Newt pinched the Niffler's hind legs and gently tickled its belly with his fingers.
With a series of tinkling sounds, several small gadgets fell out of Sniff's pocket.
There was not only the spoon, but also three Knuts, a button, and a whistle that came out of nowhere.
