Chapter 55 Rune Knowledge Contest
As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger, and many young wizards' enthusiasm for learning plummets.
Many professors said they could not relax, but did not put too much pressure on them, which was specifically 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, which are the Ordinary Wizard Level Test and the Ultimate Wizard Level Test in this year.
Ancient magical literature fifth grade classroom.
Felix reiterated the importance of the OWLs exam, "You are only six months away from the Ordinary Wizard Level Test. How much time is left if you take the holidays and weekends?"
"I'll do it for you. Six months, even twenty-five weeks."
With the confused expressions of the little wizards in the audience, the professor started to calculate the calculations, "Two classes a week, two hours a big class, and one hour a small class, count them..."
"It's only seventy-five hours in total."
"Does your study time be long after class? No matter how I calculate it, it's less than two hundred hours."
Looking at Professor Happ's regretful expression, the little wizards were silent.
But Felix was in a good mood today and decided to do a student survey.
"What subject do you think is the worst subject you are at?"
A little witch said timidly: "Does ancient demonic texts count?"
"Not count!"
"That's the history of magic." said the Hufflepuff girl. "Professor Bins always asks us to memorize a lot of content, and I don't have a good memory."
"He never points out the key points in class, and other professors are somewhat prompted." A Ravenclaw said angrily.
Professor Bins belongs to the type of "I talk about the key points, and the test points mentioned in class". This professor is known for his mediocre language and no fluctuations, which sounds like he is chanting scriptures.
The hypnosis effect is first-class.
"The history of magic...is very good, Miss Celton, Mr. Pardis. Is there any?"
"My astronomical class is not very good. I always mess with the position of the planet."
“The practice class of herbal medicine is very interesting, but I can’t remember the properties of magical plants.”
"Don't you think arithmetic divination is complicated?"
“Divin lessons are simply nightmare!”
Someone immediately retorted: "Nonsense! Divination lessons are the easiest to pass."
"Trilawne is a psychopath!"
“Professor McGonagall is very strict.”
“Ketelborn’s lessons are always filled with dangerous magical creatures.”
"Professor Snape is terrible."
The little wizards started to discuss it in a hurry, and soon the building fell. Felix quickly stopped. How did it develop to criticize professors of various subjects?
He summarized the views of the young wizards: "So, you have a lot of theories and require a lot of memory courses, and generally do not perform well enough, such as ancient magical literature, magic history, and astronomy classes."
Felix temporarily came up with an idea, and he decided to make an attempt: "Let's play a game."
"Please ask for two students... Well, just Miss Celton, Mr. Pardis, I need your cooperation."
The two little wizards stood up curiously.
The little wizard in class suddenly became energetic.
"Take out your wand."
Celton and Pardis excitedly pulled out their wands and stared at Felix.
Professor Haypu's teaching is always full of novel tricks - this evaluation is widely circulated in other grades, but it is relatively less exposed to the fifth and seventh grades.
"Let me think about it..." Felix stirred up his magic wand, and a nine-grid appeared in front of the two.
In the grid, there are nine magical words flashing with sparks.
On the heads of the two little wizards, two gold-toned names are displayed - Pat Celton and Warren Pardis.
"Professor, what is this?"
Pate Selton of Hufflepuff asked curiously, a friend pointed her finger at the top of her head, allowing her to discover the name above her head. Strangely, there was a number "0" next to the name.
"We have a magic text knowledge competition. Next, I will explain the meaning of the magic text. You need to find the corresponding magic text as quickly as possible, and use your magic wand to touch the corresponding grid."
"You need to get a point faster than your opponent."
"Whenever you get one hundred points first, the game is over."
Felix looked at the two, "Let's try it first."
He spoke a series of interpretations, "Light illuminates the road ahead, and also represents the glory of knowledge."
Pate Selton and Warren Pardis stared at the magic text floating in the air in front of him. When Professor Happ said the second short sentence, Pate's eyes lit up, and she quickly knocked her wand on the lower left corner of the nine-grid grid.
"I know, it's Ken!"
When her magic wand touched the magic text, the area suddenly turned bright golden. At the same time, there was an extra "+1" sign on top of her head, and it paused for two seconds before disappearing.
Pate looked at her head in a conscious sense—the initial number "0" turned into "1", and she glanced at the professor, "Did I win?"
"In a sense," Felix said, "I think you should understand the rules of the game, right?"
The two nodded at the same time. This gameplay was really interesting. Warren on the other side couldn't help but clench his wand - he was one step slowing down just now.
Felix waved his wand and made the first group of nine grids disappear, and the second group of nine grids appeared in front of the two.
"The second word, reward, symbolizes victory, satisfaction-"
Warren suddenly threw his wand in the middle of the nine-grid grid, watching the area turn into dazzling golden color, his face was full of excitement, "It's Wyn, Professor."
"The answer is correct." Felix nodded, and a "+1" sign appeared on the top of Warren's head, and the score became 1.
The game continues, "poverty, hardship, also represents some kind of misfortune."
Warren didn't think about it, and the wand hit the upper left corner, but this time, the area quickly turned into a dismal gray.
"The answer is wrong, Mr. Warren." Felix waved his wand, and a "-1" sign appeared on his head, and the score returned to zero.
Warren waved his fist in annoyance.
At this moment, the little wizards have fully understood the rules of the game. If they answer correctly, they will add points, and if they answer wrong, they will lose points. Whoever reaches one hundred first will be the victory.
“Harvest, crops, or growth cycle…”
Warren swung his wand quickly...
"Correct, add one point."
"Next……"
"Very good, Miss Pate. Next, our game will be harder."
The first dozen groups are quite shallow magical texts, but the difficulty is quickly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two of them slowed down and they thought more and more, and the score was difficult to reach 73::71.
"Get skills or random luck to reveal hidden secrets and nurture life."
Pat bit his lip, Warren kept beating the joints of his fingers.
"It's Peorth, Peorth." The little wizards watching the show couldn't help it, and someone whispered the answer.
Pate's eyes lit up and his wand was on the correct answer.
Felix did not comment. He did not stop the reminder behavior of the young wizard in the audience, but did not give the two points.
He just replaced another set of nine-cluster grids.
So the two understood what the professor meant: Next, you will compete with the young wizards in the class.
The two looked at each other and had bitter faces.
But the young wizards in the audience were excited. In the next dozen nine-cluster groups, they worked together, talking and chatting, and the two on the stage only got a point.
The bell rang, but no one moved.
The score card is 99:98.
The little wizards were quiet at this moment and stopped talking.
Felix said quickly: "The power of the sun defeats the devil and the darkness..."
"It's Sigel." Pate's stick pointed at the center of the nine-grid grid, and the golden light flashed.
"I won, I won!"
Amid her screams, Professor Hayp waved his wand and let the dazzling fireworks bloom in the classroom.
"Thanks to the two students for their wonderful performance, Hufflepuff added ten and Ravenclaw added five points."
Chapter completed!
