Chapter 1164: Practical Exam

After lunch, candidates descended into the small room next to the auditorium, waiting to be called to take a practical exam. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Small groups of students entered the exam room in alphabetical order, and those who stayed behind were still muttering incantations, practicing waving their wands, sometimes accidentally poking others in the back or eyes, and the students who had already finished the exam did not come back, so no one knew what the exam was about and how the person who was called out did it.

"It's not easy!" a chubby seventh-grader girl said to them, shaking her head, "It's really hard to get a high score, they depend on the student's ability to use spells, skill, and casting speed, and usually use two or three spells at the same time......"

Many fifth-graders gathered around her, trying to learn as much as they could about the practice exam for a while.

Professor Flitwick would take turns calling in, and soon it would be Aven's turn, who was in front of Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

"Good luck!" Hermione said nervously, squeezing his right hand hard, "Come on, Aven!"

"Good luck. Harry and Ron said softly.

Evan walked into the Great Hall, and beside him was a seventh-grade Hufflepuff boy, his wand clutched, his body trembling slightly.

This guy is so nervous, he's already been through a O.w.Ls exam, so it stands to reason that he should have experience.

"I'm sorry!" he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I want to work for the Ministry of Magic, they only need to be the best, at least six N.E.W.TS certificates, and the grades must not be lower than good, I have never been very good at spells......"

Only with enough N.E.W.TS certificates can you enter the Ministry of Magic, and they have high requirements for students' grades.

Depending on the department you are working in, there will be other areas of testing.

For example, if you want to become an Auror, the Auror office will test the applicant's personality and intelligence, test their ability to react well when they are under pressure, etc., and have perseverance and dedication.

A qualified Auror undergoes up to three years of training to master the techniques of dealing with dark wizards and all dangerous situations, as well as the practical use of defensive techniques.

During these three years, they will also participate in joint operations of the European Ministries of Magic, which are characterized by their danger.

Although there are many students who want to become Aurors every year, considering the high elimination rate and mortality rate of this job, the actual number of elite Aurors in the British Ministry of Magic remains at about eighty all year round, which is already a very powerful force!

In many small countries, the Ministry of Magic only has two or three Aurors.

Not only the Aurors and the Ministry of Magic, but also other places will also require N.E.w.Ts from students.

Another example is the healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, which requires students to have four N.E.W.TS certificates, but one of them must be excellent in potions or herbs, and after entering St. Mungo, they also need to undergo long-term training to become a qualified healer.

Like the Aurors, therapists have a lot to learn when they leave school, or they will soon be eliminated.

Other small shops and institutions are not as demanding as the Ministry of Magic, Gringotts, St. Mungo, etc., but they will also use the results of the student's O.w.Ls certificate and N.E.W.TS certificate as an important reference, unless you plan to do it yourself like Fred and George, it is very necessary to take enough certificates and good grades.

Dumbledore had to ask Evan that if he wanted to get an exchange to study at another school of witchcraft and wizardry, he had to score well enough on O.w.Ls exams.

Only then will he be able to convince the Ministry of Magic and the opposing school to accept Aven.

"Mason, go to Professor March's class!" said Professor Flitwick, who was standing in the doorway, pointing to the far corner.

Professor Marchband was sitting behind a small desk in the corner, and next to her was the oldest-looking, least haired wizard, Professor Tofody, who was examining Anthony Goldstein of Ravenclaw College.

There was a wine glass on the table, fluttering under Goldstein's control.

"Evan Mason!" Professor Marchband said, checking her records before looking up at Evan, "You specifically requested to take this exam, Professor Dumbledore introduced you to me, he thinks you're excellent, we ......"

With a thud, Goldstein's suspended glass fell to the floor and shattered, interrupting her.

Evan turned his head, only to see Goldstein flick his wand in a panic to restore the cup.

"Alright, don't worry about the cup, let's get started, I'm looking forward to what magic you'll show. "There's no need to be nervous, Aven, now, please let this mug perform a few flips for me." ”

It was a simple levitation and hover spell, and Evan controlled the cup as Professor Marchy asked.

"You've done a great job, quite nicely silent spell casting, I haven't seen it in years!" Professor Marchband said with satisfaction, scribbling down a few notes on the record, then looking up at Evan expectantly, "Actually, I noticed your morning paper. I must say, it's probably the first paper I've ever seen before, your answer is beyond your imagination, and we're asking the Ministry of Magic for an expert to determine if the answer is correct, but anyway, it's pretty good that you can write it. I noticed your answer to the question about the Levitation Charm, you can use ancient magic to cast a spell?"

"Hmm!" Evan nodded, "I've been learning this spell-casting technique since last year. ”

After getting the necessary help from the ruins of the ancient warlocks and Nicol Lemay, Aven began experimenting with the use of magic in this way.

Ancient spellcasters did this, not the simplified spells and quick casters of today.

"It's really rare, this ancient technique is rarely mastered, more than a century ago, when I was a student, Hogwarts would still teach relevant skills in the N.E.w.Ts class, I remember the professor at that time was ......" Professor Marchy said slowly, "Of course, very few students can learn it, and the direct use of ancient magic scripts requires a high level of magic and mental power from wizards themselves, and a considerable level of ancient magic scripts." I'm sorry, Aven, for listening to me so much, I mean could you show me how to cast a spell with an ancient magic word that keeps the cup suspended in the air, if you want to get extra points. ”

"No problem!" said Evan, "Professor, what kind of ancient magic script do you want me to use?"

"All!" Professor Marchban said with interest, "Let me see what you're really capable of, Aven!"

Considering that the results of this exam would affect whether or not he could exchange with other magic schools, Evan felt the need to show his hand.

But if you want to see his true strength, the magic stone he can use, isn't that too high-profile......

Also, just like the answer he wrote in the first question on the test paper in the morning, using the ancient magic script to cast a levitation spell, Even currently knows thirty-six spell casting methods, if he uses them all one by one, it will be a waste of time, he hesitated for a moment, and saw that Professor March's class was looking at him expectantly......
