"Hufflepuff plus twenty points! You did amazing, Link! Congratulations!"
Professor Flitwick excitedly shouted alone, looking as if he was even happier than Link himself, who had successfully cast the Refilling Charm.
The surrounding students all quieted down, looking at Link with eyes full of disbelief.
Among them, the expressions of the Ravenclaws sitting a little farther away were even more full of dissatisfaction.
In their view, Flitwick's behavior was really inappropriate. After all, the difficulty of the Refilling Charm wasn't high. If they were to be serious about it, practically every one of them here could do it better than Link. Yet Professor Flitwick gave points only to Link, and even gave twenty points.
As for Link himself, after experiencing the initial joy, he quickly realized that his golden finger must have activated.
But this golden finger didn't seem to come with any feature introduction; it only popped up a message saying a spell skill had been obtained.
However, Link didn't think that was a big issue. Even without an explanation, he could just explore it on his own.
Thinking like that, Link broke free from Professor Flitwick's embrace and casually splashed the water in his cup onto the face of a boy next to him who had laughed the loudest. Then, he raised his wand again.
"Replenish!!"
Along with Link's incantation and the powerless angry roar from the boy next to him, the glass once again filled with clear water.
At that moment, a line of text appeared before Link's eyes.
[Refilling Charm Experience +1]
Soon, the line of text gradually faded away. At the same time, a blue frame appeared in front of Link, and below that frame was an empty bar, which had now been filled with about one-tenth of a pale golden liquid.
With Link's many years of gaming experience, this was most likely an experience bar.
Which meant that his golden finger not only provided a visual spell skill data panel, but also allowed him to gain experience by repeatedly casting spells to level up that spell?
Link nodded thoughtfully.
"Hufflepuff plus ten points! You did it again, Link! Wonderful!" Professor Flitwick shouted again in excitement.
He had originally thought Link had just gotten lucky the first time, a blind cat running into a dead mouse, and only awarded points because he didn't want to hurt a student's confidence.
But he hadn't expected Link to turn around and perform it again right after.
This showed that Link really had mastered the spell. Although it was just a small Refilling Charm, it was still enough to be called a miracle in the education field.
After all, Link had barely learned any spells since enrollment. Sometimes even Professor Flitwick himself doubted whether the Sorting Hat had made a mistake during the final check, maybe Link was a Squib with no magical talent at all.
Otherwise, how could he explain that Link couldn't even cast the simplest Scourgify spell?
Of course, all these doubts were in the past now that Link had cast the Refilling Charm. Since Link had now proven that he really was a wizard, Professor Flitwick regained confidence in continuing to teach him.
Thinking this, the smile on Professor Flitwick's face became even brighter.
But at this moment, loud voices of dissatisfaction suddenly broke out from the Ravenclaw seating area. Seeing Flitwick award more points to Link, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Professor Flitwick smiled awkwardly, hurried over to calm his students.
Meanwhile, Link had started casting the Refilling Charm over and over again.
Of course, he wasn't doing it for the so-called points. Anyone who had read the original Harry Potter books knew that house points were meaningless to Hufflepuff.
There were too many "point eaters" in their house, far more than one or two point earners could make up for.
Otherwise, even with Cedric around before the main plot began, Hufflepuff wouldn't have gone so many years without winning the House Cup, or constantly being at the bottom.
The reason he continued casting spells was purely to grind experience.
And as the spell was released again and again, the messages floating on his retina increased more and more, and after casting it exactly ten times, he finally upgraded the Refilling Charm to level 2.
[Refilling Charm lv2 learned!]
The moment he saw that message, Link felt a mysterious sensation suddenly appear in his mind.
This made him inexplicably feel that he now had a deeper understanding of the Refilling Charm, and that casting it would become more natural and easier.
Almost as a reflex, Link chanted the incantation again.
This time, his chanting speed inexplicably increased a lot. When his wand moved, its motion even showed faint blurry afterimages, this casting speed was more than just a bit faster than before.
With such improved casting speed, the spell's effect naturally wouldn't be bad either.
Unlike the slow water-filling of previous attempts, this time the water surged up vigorously and completed the Refilling process in an instant.
Clearly, as the Refilling Charm's skill level increased, its overall effectiveness also grew stronger.
At the same time, Link also noticed that this time's Refilling Charm consumed more magic power than before. This gave Link more understanding and speculation about his golden finger.
First, this golden finger was very powerful. So far, it could visibly display spell skill stats and allow spell upgrades through repeated casting, which made learning spells much easier for Link.
And for more advanced spells, this advantage would become even more obvious, after all, what others needed talent and hard work to master, Link could achieve with mindless practice.
But this golden finger wasn't invincible either.
One must know that everyone's magical power was limited. Although Link still couldn't say what magic power actually was, after casting the Refilling Charm a dozen times, he noticed his body had started to feel a bit tired.
If he did a few dozen more, he'd definitely be lying dead in bed for the rest of the day. Which meant the experience he could gain each day was limited by his available magic power.
That was kind of frustrating. Sighing in slight disappointment, Link once again raised his wand and continued grinding Refilling Charm experience.
No choice, he still had many doubts about this golden finger, so he had to keep testing.
On the other side, Professor Flitwick, having returned to the podium after calming the little Ravenclaws, was still watching Link.
As a spell master, he could naturally tell that Link's Refilling Charm had made considerable progress compared to just a few minutes ago.
This delighted him, and he even considered giving Link more points. But strong self-control made him abandon that thought, after all, giving more points now would only harm Link.
Thinking this, Professor Flitwick nodded in satisfaction and resumed his lecture.
