With vacant eyes, Lin Yue walked into the empty classroom and turned to face a whole group of Ravenclaw students, as well as nearly an entire group of Hufflepuff students, while only about half of the Gryffindor lions had shown up.
She scanned the expectant gazes of everyone with indifference and mechanically began to speak.
"Today we will learn the Disarming Charm. This is a very useful spell that can remove your opponent's weapons, including wands, Muggle firearms, and anything else they are holding that you define as a weapon."
Lin Yue paused slightly to ensure that everyone had heard her clearly before continuing.
"The Disarming Charm is very effective against most wizards, as very few wizards can cast spells without a wand. Only a select few powerful wizards can do that, so for all other wizards, once they are hit by the Disarming Charm, they can basically be considered to have lost their ability to resist."
"At the same time, the powerful Disarming Charm also has the ability to knock opponents away."
After Lin Yue's explanation, the younger students who had not yet learned the Disarming Charm suddenly understood and gained a deeper insight into its effects. The older students exchanged glances, questioning whether they had underestimated the Disarming Charm.
"The incantation for the Disarming Charm is 'Expelliarmus.'"
Lin Yue pronounced it clearly and slowly, ensuring that everyone present could hear it distinctly.
"Please repeat after me: Expelliarmus."
"Expelliarmus." The young wizards in the classroom mimicked Lin Yue's pronunciation and recited the incantation.
Lin Yue's gaze quickly scanned everyone, and her brain automatically processed the sounds around her. Each person's pronunciation corresponded to their individual identity.
"Mr. Parsons, 'Expelliarmus,' please say it again."
Locking her gaze on a third-year Hufflepuff boy, Lin Yue looked at him with a neutral expression.
"'Expelliarmus."
Parsons struggled to mimic Lin Yue's pronunciation and repeated it again, which sounded noticeably better to Lin Yue's ears than the last time.
However, there were still some issues, and Lin Yue corrected Parsons' pronunciation bit by bit.
Lin Yue pointed out all the little wizards who had pronunciation problems one by one.
The little wizards didn't feel embarrassed at all; it was quite normal to have mistakes pointed out.
Moreover, Lin Yue's attitude was incredibly gentle, and after experiencing the potions class, everyone felt as if they were basking in a spring breeze when facing her.
While the other little wizards felt refreshed, Hermione looked at Lin Yue with some surprise.
Just now, didn't everyone just recite the spell together?
From just that one recitation, was it enough for her to identify all the little wizards with pronunciation issues and pinpoint the problems?
Lin Yue's focus and analytical ability were constantly reshaping her understanding.
Hermione secretly clicked her tongue, watching Lin Yue correct everyone's pronunciation before starting to teach them the gestures for casting spells.
Lin Yue gently waved her wand, making the gesture for the disarming spell, with each movement precise to within a millimeter, almost identical to what was described in the book.
The young wizards in the audience also instinctively followed her in waving their wands, while Lin Yue's gaze swept back and forth.
Sure enough, as soon as they stopped waving their wands, Lin Yue spoke up. However, unlike her previous pronunciation, this time she pointed out everyone.
After all, the young wizards were not her and could not perfectly replicate Lin Yue's spell-casting gestures. There were more or less some deviations, but in Lin Yue's eyes, these were clearly mistakes that could not be overlooked in the learning process.
"Don't rush, take your time, and try again."
"Your arm can be a little lower, that's right, you're doing great."
Being corrected repeatedly on their spell-casting gestures, even the smallest details were not overlooked.
In such a situation, one would expect that some young wizards might become impatient.
But the fact is that none of the little wizards showed any signs of impatience.
Although Lin Yue always spoke in a cold and stiff tone, everyone could feel her warmth and concern from her words.
She was coaxing them to learn! This thought appeared in the minds of the little wizards in unison.
In that case, how could they not work hard? Whatever Lin Yue said was the truth! Come on, let's study hard!
An indescribable fighting spirit quickly erupted among the little wizards, as they corrected their spell-casting gestures time and again, their muscles rapidly forming memories.

Lin Yue's attention was divided into hundreds of parts, focusing on each person present.
The first to complete the practice and meet Lin Yue's requirements was not a senior student, but Hermione.
After giving a nod to Hermione, she understood and waved her wand at the human model at the front of the classroom, "Expelliarmus!"
Bang! The human model flew back and crashed heavily against the wall.
The first and second-year little wizards cheered and clapped for Hermione's brilliant performance.
The remaining senior students who had learned the disarming charm looked at Hermione in disbelief.
Such power? Are the younger students this strong now?
If Hermione's performance still left them in disbelief, then Harry's performance next made them somewhat numb.
The power of his disarming charm even surpassed Hermione's, which made Harry secretly happy in his heart.
As the corrections were completed, Penelope, Cho Chang, and Marietta also performed their first casting of the disarming charm after "relearning" it.
"The power has indeed increased," Cho Chang said as she put down her wand and turned to look at Marietta.
Marietta nodded in agreement, while Penelope beside them was unable to hide her excitement.
"Is it because the spell-casting gestures and incantation pronunciations are more standard?"
The eager Ravenclaw students clearly had developed a thirst for knowledge about this.
"Yes," Lin Yue, who had been paying attention to everyone's movements, came over to Penelope and the others and confirmed.
"The standard the spell-casting gestures and incantation pronunciations are, the stronger the magic cast under the same magical power."
Lin Yue stated calmly, and as soon as she finished speaking, everyone became even more motivated.
Especially the older students, who began to take it seriously.
Initially, Lin Yue had estimated that the learning time for the Disarming Charm would be fifteen minutes.
From learning the correct wand movements and pronunciation of the incantation, to successfully casting the spell, and then to applying it proficiently in practice, ensuring it could be cast silently and instantaneously to achieve the desired effect in real combat.
All of this was supposed to take fifteen minutes, which was already the result of her slowing down her own standards by half.
Unfortunately, the outcome did not go as she had expected; just getting everyone to successfully cast the spell took fifteen minutes.
With her wand drawn, Lin Yue stood in the middle of the group, not moving her wand or reciting the incantation. The desks and chairs in the entire classroom automatically levitated and arranged themselves into four corners.
The Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Gryffindors swallowed nervously, watching Lin Yue intently.
Slowly raising her wand, Lin Yue scanned everyone with a neutral expression, "Try to disarm my wand with the Disarming Charm."
"Reminder: the probability of successfully disarming my wand with a spoken spell is nearly zero; it is recommended to use a silent spell."
As soon as Lin Yue finished her reminder, the little wizards surrounding her simultaneously donned expressions of pain.
They didn’t want to use the silent spell… but they couldn’t even manage to use it, right?
Except for a few older wizards, the others might not even succeed if they tried.
"Let’s begin."
Lin Yue said in a flat voice, her gaze quickly sweeping over everyone present.
An unspoken pressure instantly enveloped each person.
We need to disarm her quickly; the same thought surged in everyone's mind.
" Expelliarmus!"
" Expelliarmus!"
Chants of spells echoed continuously, but Lin Yue casually waved her wand, effortlessly deflecting the disarming spells aimed at her.
She kept moving her feet, and a significant portion of the spells didn't even reach her, instead hitting the ground beside her.
The sound of the incantations helped her identify exactly who was casting the spells, allowing her to directly block the disarming attempts.
Her meticulous observation enabled her to see the expressions in the eyes of everyone nearby, the subtle movements of their arms, and from that, she could predict the direction they might cast their spells, allowing her to dodge in advance.
With Lin Yue's terrifying focus and analytical abilities, not a single one of the hundreds of disarming spells cast in turn hit her.
The small wizards, immersed in the tension and continuously casting spells, failed to notice this.
Many upperclassmen were unknowingly using silent spells as well.
Yet, none of them could break through Lin Yue's "defense."
Raising her left hand, she glanced indifferently at her watch; it had been ten minutes since the practical training began.
For ten minutes, everyone had been continuously casting disarming spells.
The first-year wizards had collectively sat down to rest, while only Hermione, Harry, and Ron from the second year were still holding on.
The third-grade little wizards still had half of their time left, but even that half was drenched in sweat, clearly indicating a significant consumption of magical energy. The little wizards from other grades were in slightly better condition, but they also showed obvious signs of fatigue.
Lin Yue mechanically turned her head to glance at everyone's tired state and realized it was time to end things. Sensing someone behind her, Lin Yue instinctively prepared to turn around and block a spell, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hermione's figure.
Her movements froze for a moment; previously, Hermione had been casting disarming spells at her, but she had managed to block them all. However, this time was different. Hermione was fully focused on her, her lips pressed tightly together.
Hermione is going to use a nonverbal spell.
Lin Yue instantly understood, and then looked at those classmates who had been working hard and refusing to give up.
For some reason, she suddenly recalled a distant past, back to a time before she had even been on that operating table.
She had exhausted all her efforts to learn the knowledge of the next two years in advance, only to find that the teacher tested on even more advanced material when she received the exam paper.
What did she feel at that time? She wasn't sure, only remembering that she seemed to have shed tears, and Lin Yue felt a slight pain in her brain.
I should let them succeed; the conclusion emerged from the depths of her aching brain. Lin Yue gave up on blocking and allowed Hermione's silent disarming spell to hit her hand, knocking her wand away.
"Success!"
"Well done, Miss Granger!"
As Lin Yue's wand was finally knocked away, the little wizards present couldn't help but cheer together.
Lin Yue tilted her head slightly, raised her right hand, and in an instant, everyone's wands flew out of their hands simultaneously.
"The last point I want to make is that when the Disarming Charm is strong enough, it can affect more than one person."
After saying this expressionlessly, Lin Yue lowered her hand, and everyone's wands returned to their hands.
This way, no one would become complacent due to their success. Lin Yue made this judgment in her mind, then nodded to the others, took her wand back from Hermione, and walked out of the classroom.
It's best to give students a little setback after they achieve good results or perform well.
This is to prevent them from becoming arrogant, and Lin Yue clearly remembered that her parents and teachers used to do the same.
As Lin Yue walked out of the classroom, the little wizards who had just retrieved their wands looked at each other.
They deeply realized what the gap was; with Lin Yue's current abilities, if it were a real battle, they probably wouldn't be enough to take her on even if they all teamed up.
Hermione came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, then quickly put away her wand and rushed out.
"Lin Yue!" Hermione ran up and hugged her arm.
Lin Yue turned her head stiffly to look at Hermione, who was holding her arm, and asked, "Hermione, what's wrong?"
"Thank you for letting me off just now," Hermione said, sticking out her tongue and looking at Lin Yue with bright eyes.
"You're welcome, I just thought you should have a little success," Lin Yue replied in a tone as still as dead water, expressing her thoughts.
"Yeah, but I was really surprised that I could successfully use the nonverbal spell."
A thoughtful and proud expression appeared on Hermione's face; she never hid her confidence and pride.
She always displayed it generously, like the sun, shining her warmth in all directions.
"Your foundation is very good; the nonverbal spell is just a natural outcome."
Lin Yue said expressionlessly that she could easily analyze the results.
Hermione, feeling a bit shy, touched her nose and followed her into the auditorium, hugging her arms.
"You really are amazing, Lin Yue. You can be considered an excellent teacher."
"I'm not an excellent teacher; I'm just a student."
"Not at all," Hermione said with a smile, shaking her head as she reached out to smooth Lin Yue's hair. "You have patience, you notice each one of us, you have high standards but your tone is very gentle, and you teach both theory and practice."
"And you also take our feelings into account, thinking about how to help me succeed once," Hermione couldn't help but laugh at this point, "as for finally releasing everyone's wands."
"Is it because you heard everyone's cheers that you did that? Afraid we would become arrogant?"
"Mm." Lin Yue nodded affirmatively; Hermione had accurately analyzed her thoughts.
Except for the part about considering everyone's feelings, which allowed Hermione to successfully release her own wand, did she think of it that way herself?
"So," Hermione let go of Lin Yue's arm, walked in front of her while walking backward and spreading her hands, "you are an excellent teacher."
An excellent teacher... Lin Yue blinked without realizing it, but the excellent teacher Hermione spoke of was very different from what she understood as an excellent teacher.
Is it because the world is different, the school is different, so the definition of an excellent teacher is also different?
Lin Yue didn't feel confused, but her brain instinctively began to think.
