“Will, you have plenty of time, there is no need to rush. You must know that when Voldemort was your age, he had only just learned a few spells. There is completely no need for you to be so anxious.”
Will stepped up the stairs step by step, Albus Dumbledore’s words echoing in his ears.
Undeniably, Dumbledore was right; he completely didn’t need to be so anxious.
His past self had explored the mysteries purely out of a thirst for knowledge, studying hard, but never mistreating himself or overworking himself excessively.
Yet recently, he had indeed been too utilitarian.
Even with the system in his hands, it was impossible for him to thoroughly explore mysterious magic in a short period of time.
“When all is said and done, I am merely a shallow-knowledge Young Wizard…” He knew the source of his anxiety wasn’t just Voldemort, but rather that the more he studied, the more ignorant he found himself to be.
However, at this moment, Will had reached his physiological limit, his entire body drowsy and exhausted; he forced himself to walk a few steps before collapsing headfirst onto the luxurious large bed.
His nerves, which had been strained for many consecutive days, relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, in the Hogwarts Great Hall at the Professor’s table, Albus Dumbledore, who was rarely seen there on ordinary days, was sitting in the main seat enjoying a fluffy baked pumpkin pie, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Quirrell not far away.
He had never imagined that he would develop such intense interest in any Young Wizard other than Harry; supremely intelligent, gifted, and overflowing with talent, having already mastered the basics of Runes in his first year, his mind even filled with a fog mixed with shallow personal thoughts and magical knowledge, arrogant yet possessing a special personal Charisma, he could foresee that this child would become a big figure in the Wizarding World in the future.
Yet if not guided well, he might very well bring disaster to the Wizarding World once again.
Dumbledore felt that he was somewhat lacking in strength; after all, he was already 110 years old this year.
Cultivating Harry and fighting against Voldemort was already taxing and vexing enough.
Moreover, he truly lacked confidence in his ability to educate children.
Thinking of this, he turned his head again to look at Quirrell.
Meanwhile, Quirrell was timidly pushing the mashed potatoes around on his plate, his complexion as poor as if he had fallen ill.
He quickly finished scraping up the mashed potatoes and hurried out of the Great Hall.
No sooner had Quirrell left than Will and Sylvia walked into the Great Hall right after him.
Uncharacteristically, Will wasn’t carrying his book box; chatting and laughing with Sylvia, he sat down at the Slytherin long table.
Dumbledore cast his gaze toward Will, and Will raised a cup filled with milk to greet Dumbledore from afar.
Seeing Will’s condition, the smile on Dumbledore’s face grew even broader.
In the time that followed, Will relaxed quite a bit.
Although he was still an overachieving grind-king in the eyes of other Young Wizards, he had recovered the mindset he had before enrollment: rushing was useless, and experience still had to be farmed bit by bit.
With his mindset returned to a normal state of mind, Will resumed his peaceful Hogwarts life.
Attending classes and leaving classes every day, seeking private tutoring from teachers after class, then digesting knowledge alone and grinding experience.
It was just that now Will would carve out a tiny bit of time to enjoy delicious food, relax his mindset, rest by the Black Lake together with Sylvia, or occasionally get together with Hermione, Neville, and a few others.
The Professors of all subjects were very good to Will; even the old bat Snape didn’t mind guiding Will’s Potion.
“If you call that lump of material mixture of yours a Potion again, you can go spend Halloween with bat droppings!” Although sometimes Snape’s attitude wasn’t too good.
As for Quirrell.
Will had originally thought that “Quirrell” would ask him to go to his office again, but unexpectedly, afterwards, Quirrell completely stopped lecturing, merely stuttering through the textbook or letting the Young Wizards read on their own. Follow the newest chapters on novelping . com.
Will didn’t feel any regret about it either; although experience grew a bit slower, it was still better than being targeted by Voldemort for too long.
Time flew by another month in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of Halloween.
In the afternoon, Will and Neville practiced spells in the Room of Requirement.
“I heard you gave Professor Flitwick a big shock this morning, Neville.” Will cast a Shield Charm onto a dummy, then continuously attacked the dummy with various spells.
Prompts occasionally flashed by his ears.
As his mastery over the spell became increasingly proficient, the speed of farming experience also began to decrease.
spells that were too proficient might even require dozens or hundreds of castings to add a single point of experience.

However, he also discovered that as long as he conducted in-depth research and acquired new knowledge, he could obtain a large amount of experience.
This was clearly urging him to deeply research magic knowledge.
“Thanks to you guiding me last week to learn the Levitation Charm, Trevor Accio!” Neville waved his wand, and above his head, the toad Trevor flew back and forth.
Every time it flew close to Neville, Trevor would kick its legs and hop away, and then Neville would use Accio to retrieve Trevor.
Watching Trevor flying around, Will could already imagine the scene of next year’s incoming Young Wizards seeing a toad flying around the common room every day.
“What is there to thank? We’re friends after all.”

Will raised an eyebrow.
Apart from option C being somewhat abstract, both A and B were good.
So after a brief evaluation, Will chose A.
