Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 732: Potions and Herbology Classes [Part 2]

"Okay, everyone. On the count of three, transplant your mandrakes to the pot beside you as fast as you can," Professor Jasmine ordered. "Once again, Ms. Rhodes, no playing around this time, okay? You've transplanted as many Mandrakes as all the Second Years combined, so I'm very certain you already know what to do."

"Yes, Professor," Sabrina replied. "I won't let you down."

"Excellent, my dear. Now, everyone, at the count of three," Professor Jasmine smiled. "One, two, three!"

Ethan grabbed the Silent Mandrake and pulled it out with one tug.

Just like what the Professor stated, the Mandrake started to scream, but no sound came out of its mouth.

However, Ethan immediately felt a ringing in his ears, which meant that the high-pitched sounds of the Silent Mandrakes in the room were affecting him.

After glancing at the Mandrake for two seconds, he hurriedly set the plant in a new pot and covered its body with soil.

When he was certain that his Mandrake had been properly transplanted, he looked at his classmates. To his surprise, some of them had collapsed on the ground and were clearly

unconscious.

Sabrina, who was right beside him a moment ago, could be seen transplanting the Silent Mandrakes of the unconscious students with great expertise.

Out of the thirty students in the class, only eight people were left standing.

Aside from Ethan and Sabrina, all the other students had pale expressions on their faces.

The young man was even worried that they might collapse if they didn't receive proper treatment right away.

Suddenly, a unique fragrance reached his nose, making his mind and senses clear up.

Professor Jasmine had blown some kind of purple dust off of her hand, filling the entire room with its scent.

Although their faces were still pale, the students who had been barely hanging on felt a lot better after the Professor's first aid was applied.

"For those of you who are still conscious, please help your unconscious classmates drink this recovery potion I have prepared," Professor Jasmine said with a smile. "Every year, only a handful of students are able to stay conscious when handling the Silent Mandrakes, and your class seems to have more people resistant to it than most.

"I'm glad that I have more hands to help this year. Now, don't dilly-dally like Sloth Puffs. Help your classmates recover with the potions."

Ethan took a potion from the Professor's table and helped an unconscious teenage boy drink it.

It took a full minute before the potion took effect. By the first student regained consciousness, Ethan had already helped five more of his classmates drink the potion.

"My head," the teenage boy groaned as soon as he opened his eyes. "It hurts so much." "Agh... I feel like throwing up," a teenage girl commented as she covered her lips and closed her eyes, trying to ease the nausea that was assaulting her senses.

Soon, more of the students woke up, and all of them suffered mild to severe headaches after regaining their consciousness.

"It will pass soon," Professor Jasmine assured everyone with a smile. "Remember this- sometimes, those that you cannot hear are more dangerous than those you can hear.

"The same can be said for those that you cannot see. There are many plants in the world that are known to be silent killers, and the Silent Mandrake is one of them. All of you may rest here in the classroom until our class ends, or you may visit the infirmary if you feel like you need to rest more.

"Ms. Rhodes, I'll give you the key to the Greenhouse, so you may have fun with the Silent Mandrakes after classes."

"Thank you, Professor." Sabrina beamed in happiness. "This is the first time I've seen a Silent Mandrake. How did you cultivate them?"

"Oh, dear. It is very tough to take care of these darlings because they need to be placed near another mutated Mandrake, to keep them calm."

"Another mutated Mandrake?" Sabrina's eyes widened in shock because she didn't have the experience to cultivate mutated ones. "What kind of Mandrake can be planted side by side with the Silent Mandrake?"

"Come closer, dear," Professor Jasmine replied. "What I'm about to tell you is for your ears only."

Sabrina obeyed the Professor's request and listened to whatever she had to say.

"No way!" Sabrina looked at the Professor in disbelief. "I thought that those were just rumors. Are they real?"

"They are not rumors, My Dear Sabrina," Professor Jasmine said with a smile. "They are as real as you and me. I had to purchase them from the Black Market since their distribution is not permitted by the Ministry. These plants are rather special because of their... uniqueness."

"Can I see them too?"

"Of course. Even if you didn't ask me, I would have shared this information with you when classes ended."

Ethan, who had heard about some shady things like the Black Market, pretended like he didn't hear anything and sat on his chair silently.

The words that Professor Jasmine said earlier about the Silent Mandrake caught his attention.

"Those that you cannot hear are more dangerous than those you can hear. The same can be said for those that you cannot see.'

Seeing how potent the Silent Mandrake was, he thought that they might be a good deterrent for the Wizards and Witches who were not aware of their existence.

'George is right,' Ethan thought. 'I guess choosing Potions and Herbology will greatly benefit anyone from Dud Manor.'

George had also told Hecate that she should consider joining the Potions and Herbology classes to help her complement the things she lacked when it came to magic.

Hecate had extremely strong magical powers, but the only magic she could use were body- strengthening spells and summoning spells. Any other magic she cast would automatically summon an Elemental, which had a very high chance of attacking her as soon as they were summoned.

That was why she was in Dud Manor.

Professor Barret believed that if Hecate was able to control her "Wild Magic", she would become an extremely powerful Witch who would become one of the Pillars that would help the Shire Continent when it needed it the most.
