With Amy's one-on-one teaching guidance, George gained a much deeper understanding of Apparition.

The difference between having a teacher and self-studying is significant.

Many things that aren't in books, as well as personal insights and experiences, can be learned directly from a teacher.

Moreover, a teacher can adjust the pace of the lessons based on your feedback.

As the sky gradually darkened, Amy poured herself a glass of water to soothe her dry throat.

"I've explained a lot just now. Can you understand it all?"

"Yes, I think I got it. I'd like to try it out. If I end up Splinching myself, I'll have to trouble you to heal me immediately."

George nodded as he drew the wand from his waist.

In fact, he had already self-studied most of the theoretical knowledge about Apparition before this.

The only reason he hadn't dared to try it was the fear of Splinching and having no one around to help.

After Amy's detailed explanations, George had a more comprehensive understanding of the theoretical aspects of the spell. Plus, if Splinching did occur, Amy could immediately help.

Because of this, he felt it was time to start practicing.

"You're being too hasty! You need to understand that even sixth-year students spend months learning the theory before attempting Apparition. You've only studied for half a day! Are you sure you've grasped everything I explained?"

Amy frowned and tried to dissuade George.

"Learning spells, especially advanced ones, requires time and patience. Rushing won't get you anywhere."

Her plan was to teach George the theory over two months before moving on to practice. That way, even if his magical power wasn't sufficient in the end, she would still have taught him for two months and earned her effort's worth.

She believed George would feel embarrassed not to pay the remaining balance after that.

But if he insisted on trying now, that was fine too. If he failed, she could just say it was because his theoretical knowledge wasn't solid enough yet.

"Don't worry. As long as you teach me well, even if I fail to master it in the end, you'll still get your full hundred Galleons."

George immediately saw through Amy's small schemes and spoke generously.

It was impossible for a first-year wizard to have enough magical power to perform Apparition. He knew that perfectly well. Even Voldemort couldn't have managed it in his first year.

Typically, a wizard's magical power grows with age and is mostly developed by adulthood.

But George was different. In addition to the magical power from his wizarding bloodline, he also had the power of the magical cat and, currently, the magic he was cultivating through meditative practices as a Panda Mage. Altogether, his total magical power far exceeded that of the average adult wizard.

As long as he mastered the spell, he was confident he could successfully cast it.

He wasn't bothered by Amy's little schemes. As long as she taught him seriously and helped him resolve any Splinching issues, a hundred Galleons was no big deal.

"You said it! A real man keeps his word. No backing out!"

Hearing this, Amy's face broke into a bright smile. She stood up, waved her wand, and declared,

"Let's start practicing right now. Try Apparating from the living room to your bedroom.

Remember the key points: clearly picture your bedroom in your mind, believe in yourself, and don't doubt your ability to arrive there."

Even though she didn't think George could pull it off, she still guided him very earnestly, explaining the essential points of Apparition.

George stood up from the sofa, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. Following Amy's instructions, he waved his wand and chanted the spell:

"Apparition!"

As the incantation left his lips, a soft popping sound echoed in his ears, like the backfire of a car.

His body felt as though it was being sucked into a narrow rubber tube, compressed for two seconds, and then squeezed out as if being expelled.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in his small bedroom.

"I did it! Apparition is easier than I thought!"

For his first attempt, George successfully Apparated without Splinching. The whole process felt smooth and much simpler than he had imagined.

It seemed reasonable upon further reflection.

For ordinary young wizards, Apparition is indeed not easy. Leaving aside the theory, just being able to vividly imagine the target location is already a significant challenge.

Many wizards don't have particularly sharp memories, making it difficult for them to form a clear mental picture of their intended destination.

However, George had a Level 3 psychic ability, which gave him a distinct advantage in this regard. As long as he had seen a location once, he could perfectly recall the image in his memory without any conscious effort to remember it.

In fact, he could recall even the smallest details—like a single strand of hair—within the mental image.

Therefore, the first key point of the spell posed no difficulty for him.

The second key was determination—the unwavering belief that one could succeed.

This wasn't unique to Apparition; many spells required this mindset. After learning so many spells, George deeply understood this and had plenty of experience to rely on.

The final key was composure—avoiding panic and fear.

Young wizards all knew that if Apparition went wrong, Splinching could occur, sometimes with fatal consequences. How could one possibly avoid fear in the face of such risks?

This fear was especially intense during group practices, where one might even witness classmates Splinch themselves in real time.

But George felt no fear. Firstly, he wasn't just an ordinary young wizard. He had killed plenty of people across different worlds, so something as minor as Splinching was trivial to him.

More importantly, this body was just one of his many avatars. Even in the worst-case scenario where this body was destroyed, it would simply mean the loss of one avatar. There was no reason for him to be nervous or afraid.

With all three key factors fulfilled—sufficient magical power, a solid grasp of theory, and no psychological barriers—George succeeded in casting Apparition on his very first attempt.

"Apparition!"

George cast the spell again. This time, he disappeared from his small bedroom and reappeared on the living room sofa.

At that moment, Amy stared at George with her mouth wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

A first-year wizard, after just half a day of study, had successfully learned Apparition? That was impossible. Absolutely impossible. It completely defied her understanding.

Even if George was extraordinarily gifted with an exceptional learning ability, what about his magical power? First-year wizards had barely begun to develop their magical reserves.

Could it be that this child was naturally endowed with magical power far exceeding that of his peers? Did he already possess the same level of magical power as an average adult wizard in his first year?

"Well, let me remind you," Amy said as she snapped out of her shock, "even if you've managed to learn Apparition ahead of schedule, the 100 Galleons you promised me can't be reduced by a single coin!"

Regaining her composure, Amy immediately voiced her concern. No matter how much of a genius George was, it didn't really matter to her. What she was worried about was whether George, after learning so quickly, would refuse to pay the remaining 80 Galleons.

"Don't worry," George replied casually. "I've only just grasped the basics. I'll still need your continued guidance.

Besides, even after mastering the Apparition spell, you can still teach me other spells.

So, you'll definitely get the remaining 80 Galleons. If you teach well, I might even add a little extra."

George's tone was relaxed and unconcerned.

He wasn't aiming for this current level of Apparition, which took three to four seconds to execute. His goal was to achieve Amy's level of proficiency—being able to Apparate in less than a second, which would make the spell viable in combat situations.

Therefore, the Apparition lessons needed to continue.

"Let's charge forward on the last day of the month!"
