-An orphanage in London, 1980-

'Wingardium Leviosa'

'Avifors'

I hovered a legilimency book above my crib. It is placed in my field of vision so I can read it. On the right side of the book grows a bird-like wing. The result of my partial Avifors spell. A transfiguration spell that turns an object into a bird. The wing keeps flapping to keep the book in the air. Meanwhile, the left side of the book is held by a Wingardium Leviosa. Though this spell is not only used for that. Since the book is facing down, I also use that spell to hold the pages and flip them every time I go to the next one.

There's a risk that my concentration slipped and the book fell down so I also used softening charm on it. Of course, Creek is also always present to conceal the book and make sure nothing goes wrong.

The elf felt sad that he can no longer hover the books for me. Though he turned happy again that he got another job to shield me in case the book fell.

Two years ago, when I asked MULTIVAC to calculate the best method to improve both my mental and magical capacity, the supercomputer replied that the optimal way is through practicing and multitasking.

The constant spell practice improves my magical affinity and mana reserve. Meanwhile doing multiple spell practices at once trained my concentration and improved my mental prowess.

I've been doing this "practicing multiple spells while reading at the same time" for the past two years. And with my enhanced mental prowess, I have already finished all the first books on every subject. The books I've finished are now stored in the database of my mindscape.

I've finished the literature study on those subjects; however, I can only do practical learning on transfiguration, charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA).

Potion is costly and time-consuming. It is also harder to conceal if I ever need to practice potion making. My parents might have hoarded magical knowledge so there are books about potions and potion making, however, they're not potioneer. They didn't stock potion ingredients in the house. I don't have the ingredients to practice potion making. And if I ask Creek to procure those ingredients, there will be traces and risks of getting found out.

Herbology is also similar. While I can look and read about plants description in books, I don't have the real plants in my family inventory.

Because I only focused on practicing those three subjects, added with no obligation to do homework to take more of my time, I'm now capable of casting all the first-year spells without a wand or chant.

It only took me one year to do all that. After I've mastered the first-year subjects, I took on studying legilimency instead.

I wanted to improve my mental defense. I need to know better about mental attacks to do that. The best way to learn how to defend is to also know how to attack. And so, I begin reading legilimency books. Thankfully my parents also have some of that. It seems like my parents are studious people.

After one year spent multitasking on training and reading, I felt the result it brought to my mental capacity and magical affinity. It increases my concentration and clarity. The speed of my reading increased significantly over time along with the increase of my mental prowess. My mana pool also grows to the size of a large pool. Now it has a thousand times the volume of the previous puddle. All in all, very good progress

Thanks to that, it was easier for me to understand, and I was capable of using legilimency in just a couple of months after starting the study.

My understanding regarding legilimency is that the caster doesn't have to make eye contact with the target to cast the spell. The creator of the spell coded it to be used through eye contact for stealth purposes, considering the spell's nature.

It is similar to the wand movement that needs to be done before casting spells. A wizard with a higher understanding of that spell would be able to use it without using the required wand movement or even without a wand at all.

With my heightened senses and my experience decoding spells to use them wandlessly, I've formulated a spell code of legilimency without eye contact.

Now I only need to test and practice it

For my first trial, I used it on harmless animals around me like ants and flies. There should be no point in training legilimency on animals like these. I just want to make sure that my legilimency is not harmful to its target. That and also, I need to get used to casting the spell.

Finding that no trouble occurred after casting it on the first ant, I continued the trial and error. I need to make sure that no problem will occur before I try to do it against more intelligent minds. Since these animals have no mental defense, I start adding the number of targets.

My experience in multitasking becomes handy in this. One ant mind breached, and then add one more become two, and three and so on that now I have information of hundreds of ants minds inside my mindscape. And this all the while I still have the mental capacity to continue my reading of the Hogwarts school books.

Work, food, tunnels, help the queen… I would become crazy or start to behave like an ant would have had MULTIVAC not here. The supercomputer helps me process all this information. It helps me spread my consciousness into hundreds of separate minds.

Another boon of having MULTIVAC to process it for me is that I don't have to focus on the minds that I've breached. I can keep my legilimency on them for as long as I want. The supercomputer will run it subsconsciously.

The next trial I used my legilimency against the flies

This greatly brought the point that with magic, we don't aim the conventional way. I remember the scenes in Harry Potter movies, sometimes they don't point their wand straight at the target. Casting spell at flies is easier than shooting them with a gun.

After I'm sure that there's no problem with the spell code, I need to try it on a more intelligent mind.

'Creek I want to try my legilimency on you, if you don't mind' I asked my house elf

The elf has more understanding of magic compared to muggles. He will have some mental defense in case something goes wrong. Not that there would be any, I've tried the spell thousands of times and still, there's no problem occurred.

"Master Balthasar don't need to ask sir" I already guessed how he would answer. Just wanted to make sure.

'legilimens'

And my consciousness immediately breached the elf's mind. Minutes passed, and no problem occurred. The formula is a success.

'Alright, thanks. Now don't resist, I just want to collect house-elf's magic to my database. Try to use every elven magic in your arsenal'

After that, things go as planned. Creek tried his magic and my supercomputer mindscape collected all the data. And holy shit, it's amazing. I think I'll try to earn the servitude of other magical creatures in the future. I can only do this because Creek willingly shows me how to do his magic so I can collect all the data down to its detail. All that's left is for the supercomputer to compute all that code and integrate it into my own. Imagine learning all that magical creature's innate magic. I want to learn the code of thestral's concealment, a basilisk's death gaze, dragon's breath, or the juiciest of them all, a phoenix's rebirth. Knowing how those things work will do wonders for my magical studies.

Occlumency and legilimency seem to be the best foundation for a wizard.

Things have gone smoothly. My magical affinity got stronger, my mind developed, and my magical study advanced further.

However, I encountered a problem.

I like that my mana pool has grown to this size but I don't like the current growth rate of my mana generation. Indeed it is higher compared to when the pool is still a puddle. However, the time needed for my pool to be fully filled is now getting longer and longer.

"Is there any solution to this?"

I turned inside my mindscape and asked the supercomputer part of me. It might seem inconvenient. This looks like it consumes time and my enemy won't let me have it. However, this is inside my thought process. Time flows differently inside here. I can stay here for fifteen minutes and only a second pass outside. With the growth of my mental strength, my supercomputer mind also grows. This in turn also increases my thoughts speed. With a very high mental prowess, it is possible to stay in the mindscape for a hundred years while only a millisecond passed outside.

My supercomputer mind produced a hologram screen in response. It shows an image of the solution.

"I see. A perfect time for me to try the new codes"

I returned my focus back to the physical plane. Light blue sparks can be seen in front of my hand.

"Master Balthasar sir?!" the house-elf surprised after noticing the very familiar yet different house-elf magic.

'Such power... You guys had this on you all this time. What a humble people'

Then I tried the fused spell codes, calculated by the supercomputer, one by one

The first one is the levitation charm. House-elf has a levitation charm like the one shown by Dobby. Though the one in the movie is a hover charm, a simpler version of a levitation charm. Creek has shown me his full capability in using the levitation charm. The combined spell code of both levitation charms now felt more like telekinesis.

I changed to another spell, the knockback charm. As shown in the movie, Dobby is capable of blasting Lucius Malfoy. The combined knockback charm is a very powerful one.

I kept using the spells until my mana got depleted and I passed out.

'How long I've been out?'

"two hours sir?"

'I see'

I shift my consciousness to my mana plane. I see that the mana pool has gotten slightly bigger. It is a good thing, though my main concern is not this.

'It's a success!' I notice that there's a new very small puddle.

'My second mana pool' the difference is that its energy is more similar to that of a house-elf's.

With both pools sources to regenerate my mana. My mana generation rate just got increased further.
