Harry and Hermione exchanged a look of shock.
Defeat Professor Dumbledore?
To be honest, even in the wildest dreams, Harry had never thought of doing that. It's truly something that a person can accomplish! Harry was certain that if Brain professor's words were spread around, he would certainly be ridiculed by many people!
However, Amostar clearly didn't consider himself to be eating dreams, he said calmly,
"To defeat someone, first you must understand the gap between you and them. So, what do you think is the difference between me and Professor Dumbledore?"
"Professor Dumbledore, who is so knowledgeable, must know many powerful spells that ordinary people have never heard of..."
Hermione gave a pragmatic analysis.
"Just like you told us about the ancient magic in class, I believe that Dumbledore's proficiency in ancient magic must be beyond what ordinary people can imagine!"
"Powerful spells..."
Amostar smiled unconvincedly.
"This is indeed a very crucial factor. Dumbledore's magical talent is beyond question, and he is also an extremely diligent wizard. Even at his advanced age of over a hundred, he has not given up on learning and improving himself. Under normal circumstances, it is undoubtedly impossible for me to possess more extensive magical knowledge than Professor Dumbledore."
Ron would certainly regret not participating in this conversation today!
Harry subconsciously held his breath as the thought occurred to him, but he immediately reminded himself to focus. This kind of "high-end" topic is not a privilege that everyone has the luck to participate in.
"But, this is not the main factor that prevents me from defeating Professor Dumbledore. Miss Granger, because in terms of spell improvement, I also possess an unparalleled keen intuition that others do not have. From my perspective, having already found the path to magical advancement, as long as I persist in my research, it won't be long before the power and versatility of spells are no longer a hindrance to defeating a first-rate powerful wizard."
If it's about how to become a scholar with extensive knowledge, then Hermione may have many tricks to share. But when it comes to becoming a powerful wizard, this is a question that Hermione has never thought about. She frowned and looked at Professor Brain, waiting silently for him to reveal the answer.
"In fact, the question is not as complicated as it seems..."
Amostar smiled and explained, "The key lies in the magical power that every wizard has within them..."
"Magical power?"
Harry opened his mouth, looking puzzled.
"Yes --"
Amostar nodded,
"Every wizard goes through a magical upheaval in their youth, which is proof of our innate talent as wizards and the only time in our lives when our magical power inside us increases dramatically."
"After that, our magical power will enter a long-term, stable growth state as we grow older. This state will accompany us for the rest of our lives. That is to say, on the day when we die and leave this world, it is the moment when our body's magical power stores are the largest in our entire life."
"You mean that the biggest disadvantage of you compared to Professor Dumbledore is the huge gap in magical power reserves caused by the age gap that cannot be crossed."
Hermione, as Hermione, truly is Hermione. Even while Harry was still in a daze, she had accurately grasped what Professor Brain was trying to convey.
"Indeed, Miss Granger,"
Speaking with smart people is easy. Amostar jubilantly laughed,
"The huge gap in magical power makes all techniques and means into a joke. Unless Dumbledore becomes too old to wield his wand, there's no chance of defeating him, let alone holding out for five minutes in front of Dumbledore."
That night when the evil witch appeared, Dumbledore's simple disarming spell almost made Amostar's most powerful shield spell ineffective, which gave him a considerable blow.
After that, he kept thinking about how to make up for his disadvantage in this area. He knew that the higher the level of wizard duels, the less effective spells would be.
The confrontation between the most powerful wizards is essentially a battle of magical power between the two.
However, this problem is not easy to overcome. The growth of magical power has its own laws. Any attempt to rush the process will necessarily lead to serious consequences.
Amostar has seen many dark wizards in the Underworld who resorted to splicing the bloodlines of magical creatures to enhance their magical power. In addition to being spiritually contaminated, each one of them experienced a terrifying mutation, and such mutations were often irreversible.
Amosta suffered over this issue for a long time, but eventually, he came up with a cunning solution.
Since the growth of a wizard's own magical power is not something that can be achieved overnight, he decided to create a second magical energy storage space beyond the normal storage of magical power in his blood.
Based on the principles of alchemy, Amostar spent a lot of time researching a new spell. He treated his eyes as a container to hold magical power, forcibly collecting and injecting the magic that leaked from his body into his eyes every day. This was equivalent to adding an external magical organ. When he needed to engage in a fierce duel with someone, the magical power in his eyes functioned like a charger, continuously providing him with magical power.
Gazing at the two young wizards who were gaping at his eyes, Amosta smiled calmly.
"The reason why my eye color has changed so much is because it has been immersed in high-concentration magical power for a long time. Every time I need it, the magical power in my eyes will counterclockwise and transfer magical power to my body. If one day you find that my eye color returns to normal, it means that a situation requiring me to give it my all has appeared..."
"Incredible!"
Hermione said in a tone of awe,
"Such a method is unheard of, Professor Brain. I can bet that for thousands of years, no wizard has ever thought of it. You truly are a genius!"
"Perhaps, but it was a helpless resort..."
Amosta had a rather indifferent expression, not feeling at all extraordinary about himself. In fact, it was due to his identity as a "time traveler" that he came up with this method. He had borrowed from a popular anime from his previous life that documented a ninja technique called "Hyakkimaru Technique."
The principle of the ninja technique is to seal the "Chakra" generated in the body during daily life into the body through a certain method, and then to unlock it when needed, allowing the practitioner to temporarily possess combat skills far beyond ordinary people.
The existence of this spell was Amostar's reliance on wandering around Dumbledore without any fear and returning to Hogwarts. If an accident occurred, and he had to confront Dumbledore directly, with this spell, Amostar could hold his own against Dumbledore, giving himself enough time to escape.
However, this geniuses' spell also has an unignorable flaw.
However, if Amostar exhausts the stored magical power in a duel, he will have to rely on drinking a large amount of magical power potion to quickly restore the magic in his eyes. With the help of his own magical power, it would take him at least a year and a half to recover his peak state.
Unfortunately, magic potions like the magical power potion are very expensive. Amostar's daily task remuneration, besides supporting the orphanage he grew up in, purchasing some precious books and research manuscripts, must also reserve a considerable portion for purchasing potion ingredients and brewing magical power potions.
This also resulted in the fact that although Amostar had earned a lot of money over the past three years, he had lived a rather tight life.
