A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 55: Rage Knowledge Contest

As Christmas approached, the festive atmosphere became more intense, and many little wizards' enthusiasm for learning plummeted.

Many professors say they can't relax, but they don't put too much pressure on them. This is reflected in the amount of homework assigned.

But this tolerance does not include fifth and seventh grades. They need to deal with OWLs and NEWTs, the Ordinary Wizarding Level Test, and the Ultimate Wizarding Level Test, respectively, this year.

Ancient magic text fifth grade classroom.

Felix once again reiterated the importance of the OWLs exam, "You are only six months away from the ordinary wizard level exam, how much time do you have left after holidays and weekends?"

"Let me do the math for you, six months, count as twenty-five weeks."

Under the dumbfounded expressions of the little wizards in the audience, the professor started to do the math, "Two classes a week, one big class for two hours, and one small class for one hour, counting... "

"A total of seventy-five hours."

"Is your study time after class this long? No matter how I calculate, it's less than two hundred hours."

Seeing Professor Haipu's regretful expression, the little wizards fell silent.

But Felix is ​​in a good mood today, and he decided to do a student survey.

"What subject do you think you are least good at?"

A little witch timidly said: "Does the ancient runes count?"

"Not counting!"

"That's the history of magic." The Hufflepuff girl said, "Professor Binns always asks us to memorize a lot of content, and my memory is not very good."

"He never draws the key points in class, and other professors have hinted a little bit." A Ravenclaw said indignantly.

Professor Binns belongs to the type of "what I talk about is the key points, and what I mention in class are all test points", and this professor is famous for his flat language without any ups and downs, which sounds like It is chanting.

Excellent hypnotic effect.

"History of Magic...very good, Miss Selton, Mr. Pardis. Anything else?"

"I'm not very good at astronomy, I always get the positions of the planets confused."

"The practical class of herbal medicine is very interesting, but I can't always remember the characteristics of magic plants."

"Don't you think arithmetic divination is very complicated?"

"Divination class is a nightmare!"

Immediately someone retorted: "Nonsense! Divination class is the easiest to pass."

"Trelawney is a psychopath!"

"Professor McGonagall is very strict."

"Kettleburn's class is always full of dangerous magical creatures."

"Professor Snape is terrible."

The little wizards started discussing in a heated manner, and it quickly turned upside down. Felix quickly called a stop. How did it develop into criticizing professors of various subjects?

He summed up the views of the little wizards: "So, you generally do not perform well in courses that are more theoretical and require a lot of memorization, such as ancient runes, history of magic, and astronomy."

Felix had an idea on the spur of the moment, and he decided to try it out: "Well, let's play a game."

"Two students please... Well, just Miss Selton, Mr. Pardis, I need your cooperation."

The two little wizards stood up curiously.

The little wizard in the class suddenly became energetic.

"Get out your wands."

Selton and Pardis excitedly took out their wands and stared at Felix.

Professor Haipu's teaching is always full of novelty tricks - this evaluation is widely circulated in other grades, but the fifth and seventh grades are relatively seldom exposed to it.

"Let me think..." Felix flicked his wand, and a nine-square grid appeared in front of the two of them.

Inside the grid are nine rune words that sparkle.

On the top of the heads of the two little wizards, there are two hot gold names - Pete Selton and Warren Pardis.

"Professor, what is this?"

asked Peter Selton of Hufflepuff curiously. A friend of hers pointed her finger on the top of her head, and she found the name on the top of her head. Strangely, there was a number next to the name" 0".

"We are conducting a rune knowledge contest. Next, I will explain the meaning of the rune. You need to find the corresponding rune as quickly as possible, and touch the grid corresponding to it with your magic wand."

"You need to be faster than your opponent to score a point."

"When you get one hundred points first, the game is over."

Felix looked at the two, "Let's try it first."

A series of interpretations came out of his mouth, "Brightness illuminates the road ahead and also represents the brilliance of knowledge."

Pat Selton and Warren Pardis stared intently at the runes floating in mid-air in front of them. When Professor Haip said the second short sentence, Pat's eyes lit up, and she Quickly tap the lower left corner of the Jiugongge with the magic wand.

"I know, it's Ken!"

When her magic wand touched the rune, that area suddenly turned bright gold, and at the same time, a "+1" sign appeared on top of her head, which paused for two seconds before disappearing .

Pate belatedly looked at the top of her head - the initial number "0" became "1", she glanced at the professor, "I won?"

"In a sense." Felix said, "I think you should understand the rules of the game, right?"

The two nodded at the same time. This kind of play is really interesting, and Warren on the other side couldn't help but clenched his wand—he was a step slower just now.

Felix waved his wand, causing the first set of nine squares to disappear, and a second set of nine squares appeared in front of them.

"The second word, reward, symbolizes victory and satisfaction—"

Warren swung his wand to the middle of the nine-square grid, and watched the area turn into a dazzling golden color, his face flushed with excitement, "It's Wyn, Professor."

"The answer is correct." Felix nodded, and a "+1" sign appeared on the number above Warren's head, and the score became 1.

The game continues, "Poor, difficult, also represents some kind of misfortune."

Without thinking, Warren tapped his wand in the upper left corner, but this time, the area quickly turned a dismal gray.

"Wrong answer, Mr. Warren." Felix waved his wand, a "-1" sign appeared above his head, and the score reset to zero.

Warren shakes his fist in chagrin.

At this moment, the little wizards have fully understood the rules of the game. Points are awarded for correct answers, and points are deducted for wrong answers. Whoever reaches one hundred first is the winner.

"Harvest, banker, or growth cycle..."

Warren flicks his wand quickly...

"Correct, add one point."

"Next..."

"Very good, Miss Pate. Next, our game will be more difficult."

The first dozen or so groups are quite superficial runes~IndoMTL.com~ But soon, the difficulty increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The speed of the two slowed down, and they had more and more time to think, and the score was pulled to 73::71 with difficulty.

"Acquire skill or random luck, reveal hidden secrets, and give birth to life."

Pate bit his lip, and Warren twiddled his knuckles.

"It's Peorth, Peorth." The little wizards watching the play couldn't bear it anymore, and someone whispered the answer.

Pate's eyes lit up, and his wand clicked on the correct answer.

Felix was noncommittal. He didn't stop the little wizard's reminder, but he didn't give them any extra points either.

He just replaced another set of Jiugongge.

So the two understood what the professor meant: Next, you will compete with the whole class of young wizards.

The two looked at each other, grimacing at each other.

But the little wizards in the audience got excited. In the next dozen or so groups of Jiugongge, they worked together, talking and chattering non-stop, while the two on the stage only got one dollar each. point.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, but no one moved.

The score is stuck at 99:98.

The little wizards were quiet now, not making any noise.

Felix said quickly: "The power of the sun, defeat the devil and darkness..."

"It's Sigel." Pate's staff pointed at the center of the nine-square grid, and the golden light shone.

"I won, I won!"

Amidst her screams, Professor Haip waved his magic wand, causing bright fireworks to bloom in the classroom.

"Thanks to the wonderful performance of the two students, plus ten points for Hufflepuff and five points for Ravenclaw."

"Now, get out of class is over!"
