Chapter 118: the 9 known magic origins
There is also yellow liquid with pungent smell flowed down from his crotch. Jack looked at it and let out a small mocking smile on his face. After that he stopped the casting and the giant phoenix disappeared with a majestic cry.
Jack felt that his power or his soul has a small improvement which made him happy. The magic array announced the completion of the match and directly expelled the defeated person to the side for the staff to receive him.
Well the person is severely injured and it was the injury caused by the backlash of his own spell. So the array could not stop it. After all, it is not an attack from Jack so it cannot be stopped by the array.
Also it has nothing to do with Jack. The surrounding staff quickly arrived and took the person away. But they could not stop the irritated expression when they are taking the person with the urine on his clothes making it difficult for them.
It smelled really bad and Jack used a barrier to protect him from that pungent odor. After he was taken away the matches continued. No one blamed Jack but the people behind the man from Durmstrang Wizarding School still clamored for a while.
But no one supported them. After all, it was them that made the first wrong move and when the other party retaliated they are clamoring. But usually no one would want to make an enemy out of a mad dog like them.
The reason for this is they practice dark arts which are usually prohibited. Also they practice martial arts which make them more like thugs compared others. So no one usually wanted to mess with them.
But that 'no one' did not include the truly powerful people like Jack and Dumbledore and true lunatics like Voldemort. The principal of Durmstrang almost pee his pants from the news of return of Voldemort.
They are a school of thugs and Jack might want to make them his paid thugs. He has origins in their place through his mixed ancestry. So he is not worried about many things. It was their person that made the first shot and was in the wrong.
Also Jack did not attack but only defended. They could not blame Jack for the incompetence of their candidate. So Jack continued with the duel. As it moved on the last 5 people are remaining.
Here one on one duel will be held and the person that scores the highest would be the winner. The winner in each one on one duel would receive a point and all 5 people would face 4 duels each.
Jack's went through the matches one by one and the strongest opponent he faced is from southern Asia. Unexpectedly they are not only good with the serpent charms but there are many more.
This also piqued his interest in understanding the oriental way of magic to gain more insight towards the magic origin. There are two sides of magic that usually mentioned. One side is related to the western magic and the second is the oriental magic.
But to Jack this is not the correct way. Based on his research on the history of magic from many countries the magic has many origins. But in his calculations there are 9 paths of origin of magic.
There is no order in them,
The Elven lore from northern Europe,
The Greek gods magic from southern Europe,
The Egyptian gods magic of underworld and sun from the Africa,
The magic of nature from the southern Asia,
The bone lore of demons from the northern Asia,
The Nordic magic of dwarfs and giants above the northern parts of Europe,
The mysterious magic of the missing continent in the Pacific Ocean,
The magic of the sea from the sunken merpeople…
All of these things has origins of magic in one way or the other and have complicated magic history. Most of it was strangely hidden in the current world history. When he read their history he always felt that the entire thing is made up to cover up something much deeper.
Also he has a big doubt about why those strong being that are hailed as immortals, gods and demons suddenly vanished without a trace. It is not like all of them went to toilet together, slipped and flushed into toilet.
There should be some way that all of them vanished suddenly. This is making Jack feel strange and his curiosity peaks more and more. But right now he has to concentrate on the match ahead.
Jack skillfully used the basic techniques at a tricky angle to solve the crisis. Jack won 4 rounds getting the first place. Well he has the memories and capabilities of both Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.
There is enough magic power with the support of soul power to use it. If he could not win then it would be a disgrace to the names of the powerful wizards as his ancestors. Jack got a reward of 10,000 gold galleons and then a reward of blessing from the magic array.
The blessing he got is to improve his magic capacity by 10 percent permanently. That is actually the improvement of his soul which became much stronger and more in line with the magic.
This is a great blessing that can directly defy common sense. Many wizards have differences in their capabilities because of the amount of magic they could use. So the improvement in the magic capacity is a super blessing that can directly change in the person's future life.
Also this 10 percent improvement would be constant. If his magic capacity improves in the future then this 10 percent would still give 10 percent of magic capacity base value at that time.
After the match, Jack happily had another meal with professor Flitwick. The people from Durmstrang wanted to have a quarrel with Jack. But it was stopped by the authorities of the competition.
