Chapter 369 Selection

Felix turned his head and did not look at the Slytherin witch staring at him. He cleared his throat and continued: "I have analyzed with all the professors that you have two main shortcomings. One is that you do not have enough spells to deal with various complex situations. For example, magic flames—"

He paused and didn't continue talking.

"The second shortcoming is the lack of practice, or practical combat, not the duel game in duel class that pulls out wands and prepares in advance. I mean a sudden crisis, which is related to your own experience."

"There was a time when Hogwarts had a tradition of traveling for a year after graduation. It was probably similar to a few friends who traveled together to see the magical customs of different parts of the world..."

"But because of the Wizard War and in recent years, the Ministry of Magic of various countries has tightened their policies. If you want to go to a country, you must report in advance and obtain permission from the local Ministry of Magic, which has led to this behavior not being very popular."

Felix told this history, giving them a general impression.

"In the next month, as classroom 7 becomes more and more perfect, you will be exposed to simulated dangerous scenarios and increase your experience. Not only me, but other professors will also appear here to give you guidance."

"Of course," Felix thought for a while, "Professor Moody may have other arrangements. He prefers to test how you deal with danger in real scenes. You should have some understanding of his character..."

More than one student had a bitter face. Professor Moody's rough personality is famous together with his boldness in class. The students at Hogwarts suffered a lot. Which student was not pointed at and recited a few evil curses?

However, according to a student who did not want to be named, although Professor Moody felt bad when he chanted mantras to himself, he would get a strange sense of pleasure when he watched him chant mantras roughly to others...

"As a candidate for the Warriors," Felix raised his voice to bring the students back to their senses. "Or students who are selected to participate in exchanges and showcase the achievements of Hogwarts' teaching, you will have the opportunity to be exposed to many advanced mantras. The most convenient way is that the library's prohibited book area will be open to you."

"You just need to register to see all kinds of advanced magic books."

The students started to discuss it quietly, and Felix even heard someone mentioning "black magic", and he raised his eyebrows.

"I should remind you that the past tournament prohibits black magic, even this one," he said with no certainty: "The Ministry of Magic is still in fierce negotiations..."

"That means we may face black magic?" Harry asked in surprise.

"No, it's not like that," Felix explained. "The Warriors are not allowed to use black magic on the Warriors, which is the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic. But Demstrong proposed that when passing the level, it can 'reasonably' use black magic on non-human creatures - such as those powerful and deadly magical animals.

"Vagadu and Ifamoni agreed. The controversy now is, which black magic can be used, and the people from the Ministry of Magic are putting together a list."

"So, we can use black magic too?" Collins asked, "just be on that list?"

"Maybe the rules allow, but for Hogwarts students, there will be no professor to give you this advice." Felix said calmly. "I know some of you may be familiar with black magic, but after all, you have to consider the impact - if you use it openly, it will attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic and the outside world's doubts about Hogwarts' educational philosophy."

He shrugged: "There have been a few years since the war, and most British wizards still hate black magic."

Collins looked at him provocatively, "So, as long as you are not seen, it's okay?"

Felix stared at her and smiled slightly: "You are right, Miss Fly, whether to use black magic or not does not affect the judges' scoring. But if I want to say, there is actually no need for this, and it is even a bit of a loss."

He looked at everyone: "Many of you, especially those in the lower grades, have not yet realized what special treatment you will enjoy in the next few months-the Hogwarts Library is open to you, and all professors will answer the knowledge outside your textbooks, including various advanced magical spells and theories."

"If I were you, I wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity. It will be good for your future."

"But what do we do with so many profound things that we can't use after graduation?" a student asked a question.

Felix looked at the others, and they also looked disagreeable. He shook his head: "It seems that this is indeed a problem. If I talk about it, we may have a question when we are in school-"

"If you just study for a few years, you can make yourself live a good life. Why force yourself to continue to study those profound and obscure mantras and theories in depth?"

"This is actually a very interesting question. Can anyone answer it?"

A Ravenclaw girl raised her hand playfully, "Professor, I know! I just like magic! Interested in them."

Felix smiled at her, "This mentality is very good."

"Learning magic can allow us to gain significant status and enter better companies, Gringott, Ministry of Magic!" said Roger Davis.

"Well, it's very illuminating. What about that?"

"Others will be afraid of you, fear you, and dare not provoke you." Collins Forley said coldly.

"It makes sense...is there any?"

"You can do what you like," Hermione said.

"It's very close, compared to my own answer." Felix said with a smile.

He glanced around and his eyes passed through each of them, "I can't provide you with the right answer, because there is no correct and only answer. I can only say what I understand."

"What's the use of learning magic more deeply, including studying obscure magic theories?"

"My opinion is that it allows you to go further than others on the road of magic, and it also naturally gives you more choices."

"You want to study magic? Of course, then be a scholar quietly and understand the mysteries of magic and areas that no one has ever touched."

"Do you want to occupy a high position and gain power? In addition to having a keen and clever mind, the power of magic is also indispensable. At that time, magic was your handy tool to help you gain fame and power;"

"Or... money? It's not bad, but it is recommended that you choose the right magic branch, alchemy and ancient magic texts. If any of you are interested, you can consider joining the "Future World" company after graduation."

Felix said with a smile at them.

"There are many things to say, changing appearance? Transformation can be done; extending life? Potion can be done; traveling the world? Seeking excitement? Exploring treasure hunts... or just becoming an ordinary person."

"Of course, we may also imagine—" Felix lowered his eyes, "let the world move with your will, and some changes will occur because of you."

The students calmed down.

Felix fiddled with his wand and said softly: "Yes, for some people, such as Principal Dumbledore, what has never bothered him is not what he can do, but what he chooses to do."

"It's to become the Minister of Magic...what candy is to buy from Hogsmeade... maybe the latter will make him more exhausted."

"This is the importance of choice - the most intuitive example is that students receive more than one letter of recommendation from professors every year. It is obvious that these people naturally have more room for choice."

"Let's get back to the topic and say something practical."

Felix raised his voice and said, "According to the latest news from the principal, this tournament is different from before and will be held in a group form. Of course, the difficulty will be increased accordingly."

"Each school selects three people to form a team. After the three projects are over, the school with the highest score will receive the trophy in the championship."

He looked at everyone and said, "Students in the sixth and seventh grades, you will team up in a random way in the next time and cultivate tacit understanding in this way. Maybe who will become teammates during the game. As for students in the fourth and fiveth grades, you can do whatever you want and do not make any requirements."
