The hands of the two girls touched, and the gears of fate once again began to turn.
Accompanied by a dazzling light... well, actually there wasn't any. They were just holding hands normally as Hermione led them to the area closest to Glenn.
However, Ginny felt a faint warmth, as if it was dispelling the fatigue within her, flowing into her body from somewhere unknown.
"Is it Hermione?" She looked at her friend leading her forward.
"Perhaps it's just an illusion?" Ginny thought, yet her hand still refused to let go of Hermione's small hand.
"Hello, Professor Night Watcher, what a coincidence, we meet again." Upon reaching Glenn, Hermione stopped and smiled naturally at him, bowing slightly to show her respect, while subtly shifting her body to reveal Ginny hidden behind her.
"Ah..." Ginny was still immersed in the feeling of relaxation she had just experienced and hadn't noticed she was already quite close to Professor Night Watcher. It wasn't until she heard Hermione's greeting and felt the shadow formed by Hermione blocking the light suddenly brighten that she looked up.
Glenn's pale mask was right in front of her.
"...Hello... Professor, I'm Ginny Weasley." Little Ginny blinked, noticing that the new professor, whose cold attire resembled Professor Snape, didn't emit any aura that made her feel frightened.
...It was as if the person standing before her wasn't human, but... air?
Isn't that even scarier?!
Fortunately, Ginny didn't think so. The feeling this professor gave her made her feel more comfortable.
If it were Professor Snape standing in front of her, who always exuded a great sense of oppression, Ginny might have become even more tense due to her already poor mental state, and perhaps fainted on the spot.
"Hello." Glenn nodded, "Is there something you need?" His words were few as always, yet he didn't make others feel uncomfortable.
Hermione couldn't help but feel a bit proud. Glenn's way of speaking now, which didn't make people dislike him, was largely thanks to her.
Back in Muggle school, Glenn spoke less in a year than she did in a day (though most of her words were answering questions in class).
And when he did speak, it was impactful, often hitting the mark directly, with simple words causing unknown harm to other children.
No one knew who he learned this from, but fortunately, under her guidance, Glenn's way of speaking changed.
Glenn: Guess who I learned it from?
Oh, wait, my thoughts are drifting.
"We'd like to ask you about the technique for using the Disarming Charm, the one Professor Snape used to knock Professor Lockhart's wand away," Hermione blinked and said.
"Rather than letting us duel freely, I personally believe that mastering some spells that are very helpful in duels, which we currently haven't been exposed to, would be more effective in improving our skills."
Hermione spoke softly, so only she, Glenn, and Ginny beside her could hear. Meanwhile, the other young wizards in Glenn's area were already eagerly and chaotically battling.
They might think they look cool, casting various spells effortlessly and almost always hitting their opponents, causing noticeable effects.
However, the reality was quite different from their fantasies. Except for a few seniors whose knowledge and skills stood out among their peers, the duels of the rest... couldn't even be called duels; it was more like roughhousing.
Not to mention others, Hermione herself found it absurd. Even if the spells were the simplest jinxes, at least aim them at the opponent! How does one end up hitting themselves with their own spell?
Oh, it's Ron, well, that explains it.
Hermione's mouth twitched as she watched Ron's wand emit a blue light that blasted him away, leaving Harry on the opposite side dumbfounded and rushing over to check Ron's injuries.
The young girl stepped aside to block Ginny's view.
Best not to ruin the image that guy has in her friend's mind; after all, he's Ginny's brother.
Putting aside Ron's image in Ginny's mind, Hermione's reason for asking Glenn to teach her and Ginny the Disarming Charm was for Ginny's sake.
She herself was already able to cast the Disarming Charm, albeit not very proficiently, but she could use it in duels with a hit rate of over sixty percent.
Don't underestimate this sixty percent; Hermione calculated this data through practical training with Neville, Draco, and Glenn.
If Glenn were excluded from the data, her hit rate would instantly rise by thirty percent!
That's already quite impressive.
If Ginny could learn the Disarming Charm, she might have more confidence when facing the heir of Slytherin. Hermione knew well that her talent for learning offensive spells wasn't as good as Glenn's; otherwise, she would have taught Ginny herself long ago.
As for why not learn high-power spells like the Blasting Curse or the Shattering Curse to ensure Ginny could blow up the person trying to control her with a surprise attack?
Well, there's only one reason: those spells are still too advanced. Not to mention the casting technique, the young wizards' level of magical control isn't sufficient.
One careless mistake, and the spell drains all their magic, leaving them defenseless.
It's not that the Blasting Curse isn't worth learning, but the Disarming Charm is more cost-effective.
Let's not aim too high; starting with the simplest Disarming Charm is good enough.
Glenn and Hermione exchanged a brief glance, and he understood the young girl's intention.
He looked around to observe the situation in other areas...
Simply put, it was quite amusing, but because he had divided the areas in advance and set up alchemical devices, there wouldn't be chaotic scenes that would give him a headache.
As for the issue of supervision, it was even less of a concern for him. Professor Flitwick would arrange for them to watch over the young wizards, based on their lack of understanding of Glenn's alchemical creations.
But as the creator, Glenn knew well that with these folks' spells, they wouldn't have a chance to break through the protective devices he had installed.
Let them be.
"Okay." Glenn nodded.
