Chapter 83: Professor Snake
In the first class of the new semester, Felix felt the restlessness of the little wizards, and they were all waiting to go to the courtyard to see the snake monster after class.
He cleared his throat. After attracting the attention of the little wizards, he gently waved his wand and "Oulong came out of the hole." Accompanied by a ball of black gas, a small snake surrounded by black spots fell on the podium.
It made a "hissing" sound, and its slender body kept twisting.
The little wizards raised their heads one after another, stretched their necks to see clearly.
Felix's wand passed along its scales, and the appearance of the black-spotted snake immediately changed drastically - its smooth scales became thick and solid, giving people a metallic texture; its color also became green and shining with the bright light unique to the venomous snake.
Even its body expanded a lot. It raised its flat snake head, and its yellow eyes looked cold and ferocious.
"Professor, is this... a basilisk?" asked a student.
"That's right."
"So, this little guy is the one who Porter and the others defeated?"
The little wizard in the audience said with some disappointment that this is too small, almost three or four feet.
Especially the little snake monster huddled on the podium, it looked even more inconspicuous.
Many young wizards suddenly had the illusion that I could do it even if I was on board.
However, the appearance of the Basilisk is very intimidating, especially the pair of yellow eyes, which looks really intimidating.
Felix said unquestionably about their attitude and continued to explain: "The biggest threat to the basil monsters is their eyes, which are extremely lethal. In other words, when you see it, you may have lost the power to fight back forever."
The discussions in the audience were much lower.
"and--"
He waved his wand, and the small snake monster huddled on the podium suddenly rushed from the table, scaring the little wizards in the front row to tilt back together.
When it drew an arc in the air and fell to the center of the classroom, the small snake monster's body suddenly expanded rapidly.
It magnified more than ten times in an instant, and before they could react, it filled most of the classroom space.
"Ahhhh!" Many little wizards screamed and hurriedly avoided the huge snake monster pressing down, but soon they discovered that the snake monster's body had changed from solid to black mist.
A little wizard sitting on the ground mustered up his courage to reach out and touch it, and his hand passed through the black fog. He raised his head and saw half of many people's bodies reaching into the black fog. At this moment, they were moving out in horror.
Felix said with a bad taste: "Well, this is the size of the basilisk."
After a while, the little wizards calmed down after they found that this thing did not harm them at all.
Several students were embarrassed to get up from the ground. One of them was a little witch named Campbell King stirred the black mist-shaped snake monster with a magic wand, stirring the scales near her back into a black mist.
Many little wizards imitated curiously, and during this process, the black fog-shaped snake monster kept wandering in the small classroom, twisting its body, and its huge snake body passed through the table, chairs and books, men and women.
But at this time, most of the little wizards were no longer afraid. They poked it with their wands with their enthusiasm, and sparks of various colors flashed from time to time in the shadowy black fog.
After a few minutes, the snake monster shrank back to three or four feet, and its body also changed from black mist to a green entity.
"Professor, is this the real thing about the snake monster in the secret room?" a little wizard asked in awe.
"You can understand this." Felix turned out a chair and sat on it himself. "Since you are curious about the snake monster, let it teach you today."
The little wizards showed unknown meaning and looked at each other, but at this moment, a sound that looked very similar to Professor Haypu was made from the mouth of the basilisk.
"Now open the book to page 79, we will study an excerpt from a manuscript translated by Carlisle Matthew, an ancient magic expert, in 1842, which was from about seven hundred years ago."
Many young wizards were shocked, but with their previous experiences, they did not embarrass themselves to fall off their seats again. Instead, they stared at the small snake monster with their upper body raised high in front of the podium.
They blinked in confusion and looked at Professor Haypu, who was sitting peacefully in the corner of the podium, with countless complex thoughts surging in their minds.
The little snake monster opened its mouth and showed its thin, dagger-like teeth, "Yes, it's me, your ancient demonic teachings. So, what are you waiting for?" The snake monster suddenly approached the little wizard in the front row, scaring her to the point of falling off her quill.
"Campbell, tell me, what did I just talk about?"
"Teacher, professor, you just talked about the magic text Eoh, which means yew tree, symbolizing death and regeneration, and can also indicate continuity and maintenance." The little witch named Campbell King stood up and stammered.
"That's right, Ravenclawa ten." said the basilisk spitting out the letter.
Campbell sat down with a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"So, why don't you write it down?"
The other little wizards began to write quickly.
In the remaining courses, the little wizards gradually accepted this strange "Professor Snake". The snake professor kept wandering in the aisles on both sides, from time to time, approaching the unserious little wizard, staring at a pair of yellow eyes and shouting, "Don't read me, read a book!"
Professor Haypu, who was sitting in the corner, had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and he seemed very happy.
As get out of class was about to end, Felix stood up, and he waved his wand, turning their Snake Professor back into black fog amid the reluctant expressions of the little wizards.
"Today's homework is to retell the content of this manuscript. It requires a piece of parchment, which must use the knowledge learned in grades three or four."
As soon as the bell rang, the "crackling" footsteps and noises sounded in the corridor - these little wizards could not wait to rush out and head straight to the courtyard. In the fifth-grade ancient magical culture classroom, the little wizards packed their things in a daze and walked out of the classroom slowly.
"Hey! Campbell, hurry up and go see the Basilisk together!" Her friend stopped her and said happily: "I have been looking forward to this in the last transformation class."
Campbell said calmly: "You go first."
"What about you?"
"I suddenly lost interest in the basil monster," Campbell said.
The little wizard who walked out of the ancient magical text classroom with her also nodded in the same sense. Not only did they stay with the snake monster for a lesson, but they were also taught a lesson to learn ancient magical texts.
...
There were already many little wizards in the courtyard, and they were crowded together, shady.
