Chapter 176: Suzaku Magic School
The Dark Lord believed in himself more than in others. The opinion of the old horse www.biquge.info of the pen is of no use to him at all. The Dark Lord just wanted to listen to other people's opinions, after all, the inexplicable failure of the last time made the Dark Lord occasionally wonder if there was a higher will in this world, dooming him to failure. Some wizards are very concerned about the so-called prophecy, believing that the so-called future is actually predestined, and the Dark Lord sometimes wonders if his own affairs are already predestined.
The old horse's words silenced Professor Quirrell for a moment, and Professor Quirrell didn't kill the old horse. The green light around him slowly changed, as if in the sea. The magic pattern formed a huge formation around it, and the old horse could feel that there was a huge power in the magic pattern. The things that the Dark Lord has been preparing for a long time, and guarding with the Yin Corpse, may not be a simple weapon.
Lao Ma wanted to contact the Ministry of Magic, but at this time, he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he was the most powerful dark wizard in front of him, and his every move, this dark wizard was very clear, and Lao Ma clearly knew that the Dark Lord was the strongest master of the Deception. Lao Ma didn't even dare to think about it, he cooperated and sat here as Professor Quirrell instructed, as a witness to Professor Quirrell's great plan.
All of the Ministry's efforts were devoted to ensuring the safety of the Quidditch World Cup. Far across the ocean, in the Americas, the principal of the Ilvermorny School is holding a meeting with all the teachers, and he announces an important decision, the Ilvermorny School will organize a team for the first time to go to Europe to participate in the ancient tradition of the competition between the colleges, this competition has a history of hundreds of years, has been held only between a few schools in Europe, but then due to the danger of the competition, it was suspended. Now the tournament is about to be relaunched, and two other powerful schools of magic and wizardry with international repute are required to participate. One of them is the Ilvermorny School.
"Principal, are all the students going, or are only some of the students going?" the teachers were concerned about the scale of the event. Ilvermorny School, like Hogwarts School, is divided into four houses, and if you can only go to some of them, the four houses will have to compete for a place.
"Only some students can participate, first of all, the students must volunteer, on the basis of voluntariness, and then ask for their ability, this is a competition, if the students who go are too weak, our Ilvermorny school will be looked down upon by other schools. The principal said.
"So how many people can participate, and can there be ten places in one academy?" asked the dean of Thunderbird Academy.
"No, I can only give three places to one academy, and only one student will participate in the competition. In other words, we will complete the primary selection at the school, and then I will take twelve students across the ocean to select the best student there to participate in the competition!" explained the principal.
The professors of the Ilvermorny School looked at each other and whispered.
In the middle of a blue ocean, a huge island is hidden in the mist, and on top of the island, there are many houses of different styles. Most of these houses are tiled houses, but the architectural style is very special, some are in the style of courtyards, some are in the style of stilted buildings, some are round towers, and some are caves. On such a small island, the terrain is very complex, there are rivers, hills, and in the middle of the island, there is a huge floating house.
The weather is good, and since it is located on the southern side of the mainland, it is warm all year round. The morning sun broke through the clouds, the sea breeze tore through the white mist, and a middle-aged man, standing on a verdant bamboo, flew out of a courtyard and flew directly to the floating house in the middle of the island.
One after another, several more wizards flew out of the houses all over the island and flew to the houses in the middle of the island.
On the north side of the island, in a huge octagonal-shaped Hakka tulou, a group of young students poked their heads out of the window and watched curiously as the teacher flew away on willow branches.
"Hey, Lizi, what do you say the teacher is going to do? There is no typhoon in this season, what else do you need the teachers to be kind to. A little boy who didn't look very old pushed a teenager who was reading a book next to him and asked curiously.
"I don't know, I think it should be a big deal, Mengdie, lend me the notes in class today, how do I think I remember here seems to be a little wrong, I'll check it. "Li Zi is a very handsome boy, but he looks a little weak.
Next to him was a girl who looked like a typical Jiangnan woman, with long hair in braids, holding a magic wand, chanting incantations to the fishbone in front of her.
"Don't you see I'm busy!?" "Despite her appearance as a gentle beauty, Mengdie is actually a hot-tempered northern girl. Li Zi reached out and took Mengdie's notebook. The notebook is the kind of notebook that Muggle students use very often, and if you don't read the contents, you won't think that this is a wizard's notebook.
"What is the spell?" Li Zi opened the notebook, and after a few clicks with his wand, no handwriting appeared, it seemed that Dream Butterfly had set up a special protective spell so that other wizards could not see the contents.
"What password? No password!" Mengdie glanced at and continued to look at the fishbone to complete the transformation.
Li Zi tapped it with his wand again, this time the handwriting began to appear on the notebook, Juanxiu's handwriting, seeing such handwriting, he would definitely think that Mengdie was a very gentle woman, but in fact, it was not at all.
"I think it must be a big deal, just now I saw that the teachers of the Herbal Medicine College also went, and I want all the teachers to go, and they must decide something important. ”
"Xu Xu, have you finished your homework, be careful that the teacher will come for a while, check your homework!" Li Zi said to his friend who was still lying by the window while comparing Mengdie's notes with his own.
"What's there to do, isn't it just to deform that fishbone, I would have done it a long time ago. Xu Xu said without looking back.
"The clear spring is like a gushing!Xu Xu, you hurry up and learn from me, otherwise be careful sister, I will repair you!" Hearing Xu Xu, who was extremely talented, said this, the dream butterfly that had been deformed for a long time, and the fish bone still had no reaction, and he was extremely unhappy and poured cold water on Xu Xu.
"What are you doing!" Xu Xu was poured cold water on his head, and hurriedly dodged to the side, while using his wand to spread a shield in front of him, so that the water could not wet his clothes.
"Don't be proud there, my sister is unhappy with you, go study!" Mengdie said irritably.
"Hmph, my talent is not good, and I don't allow others to learn faster. An introductory Qingshui spell has to be studied for half a year, and there is no one with such a talent...."The first spell to enter the Suzaku Magic School is to learn the Qingshui spell, the most lacking thing at sea is fresh water, and mastering the Qingshui spell can ensure that you can live at sea." The beginner clear water spell, a wizard with good talent, can master it in one class, and a poor talent can also make clear water in a few days. Dream Butterfly was by far the longest wizard to learn this elementary spell, and it took her half a year to master it!
In other words, Dream Butterfly used a whole study to learn her first spell. With such a talent, you may not be able to enter a wizard school in other countries at all, but in Suzaku School of Magic and Magic, as long as you have talent and a teacher is willing to accept you, you can become a student in the school.
This has a lot to do with the enlightened philosophy of Suzaku Magic School.
"What are you talking about, Xu Xu, don't think that if your magic is better than mine, I won't be able to beat you, and I'll be alone for a while!" Mengdie looked at Xu Xu angrily.
"I'm scared, can't you, you're the eldest sister, please spare me!" Xu Xu saw that Mengdie was angry, and hurriedly sat down in his seat. Li Zi smiled without raising his head, the two of them have to quarrel every day, and it is not normal if they don't quarrel for a day.
At this time, in the floating house in the middle of the island, dozens of teachers were already sitting in their respective places. Classical Chinese architecture, carved beams and paintings, antique, and decorated with some magic.
"I don't know if Lord Dean has summoned us today, what do you have to discuss?" a middle-aged man in a tunic asked first.
The old witch who was sitting on the throne, but was wearing a Shu embroidered robe, coughed and said, "It's not a big deal, I told you last time, that Hogwarts school is going to invite us to participate in that tournament, and I want to come up with an idea today." ”
"It turns out that this is this matter, I don't agree, let's invite us, it's just an observer, and I may not be able to participate when the time comes, so what are we going to do." Do you clearly look down on our Suzaku School of Magic!" said the wizard in the tunic dissatisfied.
"Youping, according to what I said before, it was indeed a little inappropriate for us, after I wrote back to Dumbledore, Dumbledore wrote back this time. The plan has changed, and this time, as long as we want, we can not only participate in the competition, but also have an unexpected benefit. The witch said.
"What's the benefit?" asked a middle-aged witch in a woollen shoulder.
The principal smiled and said, "At this time, we can still formulate a test program! That is, our rights are exactly the same as those of several other schools." Dumbledore promised that the rights and obligations of the five schools were exactly the same. I think this is an opportunity, after all, the wizards in the world still know too little about our Suzaku School of Magic. If we can win this competition, it's a chance to make a name for ourselves," said the witch headmaster, looking at an old wizard with white hair in a Qing Dynasty official uniform sitting not far away.
The old wizard was the previous headmaster, now retired, teaching the history of world magic at the Suzaku School of Magic.
As if sensing the witch's mother-in-law's gaze, the old wizard opened his eyes and said, "Ran (Suzaku Principal) is right, this is an opportunity to make a name for yourself. I think when I went to the Americas to attend those international conferences, very few wizards in the world knew about our Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Our popularity is not as well-known as that of some small African magic schools, which is really not commensurate with the scale of our school. In the past few years, the school should also go out for a walk, and let the wizards in the world know that our Vermilion Bird Magic School is not bad at all. "The headmaster of the Suzaku School of Magic and Wizardry of the previous generation is a banner man who once studied at the Ilvermorny School.
"If you don't object, I'll talk about the method of selection at this time, we have to have a round of primary selection in the school, and I think we can choose from several majors. Transformation majors have the most, they can have five places, healing majors are second, they can be given four places, magic pattern majors again, they can give three places, and armor majors can give two, how about it?" In the entire Suzaku Magic Academy, there is only one dean's general management. The rest are divided into four majors, namely the transformation major, with more than five hundred students, followed by the treatment major, with more than three hundred students, and the magic pattern formation major, with more than a hundred students, and the least is the armor major, with only more than fifty students.
Hearing the principal's words, the witch wearing a wool shoulder said dissatisfiedly: "How many people do we have in the treatment major, there are only four places, and if there are not enough points, can't we add a few more?"
In addition, the professors of the armor major and the magic pattern major also hurriedly asked for more places. There are no deans in the four majors, but teachers are assigned according to the number of students, and the metamorphosis major has the largest number of teachers, with seven teachers teaching. Healing, Demon Pattern, and Armor also have their own professional teachers, and professors like the old headmaster's who teach public courses are not counted among professional professors.
"Everyone is busy arguing first, and I haven't finished yet. We were only in the primary selection at school, and after the primary selection, we just got the opportunity to go abroad for exchange. But Dumbledore had already said that according to the tradition of the Championship, a school could only send one student to participate in the Competition, called the 'Warriors'. In other words, the students who were selected for the primary selection will eventually have to select another student who can represent our Suzaku Magic School to participate in the competition. Principal Witch Lan said.
The teachers discussed with each other, and the male wizard dressed in the shape of a mountain said, "We have the least number of people in the specialty of military armor, and if we have to screen for another round, I don't know what method we are going to use?"
"According to Dumbledore, it was prepared to be sifted with the ancient, never-extinguishing Goblet of Fire. I think everyone knows that this treasure also appeared in our north, and this treasure mainly tests the courage and ability of wizards, that is, the number of them, will not have an advantage. After all, in the end, there is only one student who can represent the Suzaku School of Magic!" Principal Lan explained.
"Going abroad for exchange is also a very precious opportunity, we have the largest number of people in the Transformation Academy, according to the proportion, we need ten places. Said a witch dressed in a professional woman's outfit with long hair and a shawl.
Principal Lan thought about it and felt that this was indeed an opportunity, after all, the Vermilion Bird School of Magic and Magic had not made an international appearance for a long time. But there are too many people going, and it seems a little too impetuous. Originally, Principal Lan meant that it was about the same as the American School of Magic, the Ilvermorny School was ready to expel twelve students, and the Vermilion Bird School of Magic was also preparing to expel fourteen.
"Lan, Teacher Mo is right, don't think so much, I think the quota will be doubled for each major, and let the students go out to see and see. The old wizard in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty said.
Principal Lan nodded, "Okay, then let's settle it." Let's go back and prepare, and the number of places will be doubled for each college. Give me the list tomorrow!"
