Chapter 142: On the Road (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Recommendations)
Got something to do??, Ryan and the other little wizards were at a loss. However, I sat down at the long table according to the professor's instructions by grade, and then looked at the professor.
Professor Sprout waved his wand, and a scroll and a quill appeared in front of everyone. "The teachers have already told you that you need to learn Spanish on your own, so let's take a test to see how well you can learn on your own. ”
Thankfully, Ryan was so busy studying magic these days that he didn't have the time to learn the language at all. But luckily, I had received language memory implants in the Fallout World before, including Spanish.
Naturally, the open-ended Ryan successfully won the first place in the language test. After packing up the test papers, Professor Sprout used his wand from behind his back to direct a blackboard to float in the air and prepare to make up for the lesson.
Ryan originally thought that this year's study tour would not only have to take classes at Castro Brushu, but also self-study Hogwarts textbooks, and he was already very busy, but he didn't expect that there were additional things to learn in addition to these.
On the train, for example, they learn etiquette and common herbs and uses in the Amazon, as well as attack magic that is unique to South America.
Isn't this an academic exchange? If etiquette is about not being rude when communicating with each other, and Castro is good at things related to magical plants, it is also useful to know the subject of the other party's specialty beforehand. So what's going on with this last attack magic? How does it sound like it's going to be fighting?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Professor Kettleburn tapped his wooden leg with his wand and said, "You are all top students in all grades, so there are some things you need to know. In the wizarding world, strength is a very important part. Our Headmaster, Dumbledore, is one of the most powerful White Wizards in the world, and is one of the things that has made our school stand out over the decades.
Therefore, it was inevitable that we would go on a trip this time and learn from students from other schools. Therefore, I will try to teach you some means of self-protection on the way. Finally, I know that several of you are at odds with each other in school, but I hope you will be able to stay united in this event. ”
It only then occurred to Ryan that the Kettleburn in front of him was also a master of death, having received a record 62 probations during his tenure as a teacher. And like Hagrid, he has a soft spot for dangerous magical creatures, and often gets into trouble because of it. He retired this year with half a leg and an arm. If it weren't for the fact that this exchange was more important, Dumbledore personally asked him to trouble for another semester. It is estimated that he has now been in close contact with those dangerous big guys in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary.
But this can also be illustrated in another way, even if he is scarred. But to survive decades of dealing with dangerous magical creatures, it is likely that his actual combat ability is no less than that of many elite Aurors. In this case, sending him as another team leader is a good indication that this exchange activity may not be so peaceful.
After the first lesson, they had a hasty meal. The taste of the rice is not comparable to that in school, but it is also much better than the boxed lunch that Ryan ate on the train in his previous life. It's already a great idea for a light meal on the road, and it's far better than eating instant noodles straight away.
Professor Sprout went to the front of the car after dinner and questioned the driver, and then told the young wizards that they would arrive at Castro Bruce tomorrow evening.
Since the journey was not long, both professors tried their best to inject more knowledge into the students' minds. So at half past nine in the evening, when all the classes were over, there was an expression of extreme exhaustion on the faces of each student.
After the class, the two professors opened the door and went back to their rooms. At this time, a sixth-year Slytherin girl stood up, and by looking at the badge on her robe, she knew that she was a prefect.
I saw her walk to the end of the carriage and say to all the students, "I know that our house may not be very popular, and we don't like the students of other houses very much. But this time we both represent Hogwarts, so I hope that in the course of this exchange, we can let go of our conflicts in school. Unite and show those Castro Bruzzo students how good we are. ”
After the senior sister spoke, the carriage suddenly fell silent. Then a Ravenclaw sixth-grader walked up, shook her hand and said, "You're right, come on." After that, everyone shook her hand and made a gesture of hatred.
When everyone went back to the carriage, they didn't notice that the two professors were standing in a place they couldn't see, looking at them with relieved eyes.
Obviously, the exchange between the schools of magic is not just communication, but also a competition between schools of magic that are not magical. Since it is a competition, then it is natural to divide the winners and losers. So in order to win, the students of the four academies in the school, who were at odds with each other, began to try to unite themselves. It wasn't very harmonious, but at least it was a good start.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that in more pure-blood houses such as Ravenclaw and Slytherin, students from large pure-blood families often have no academic ambitions and need to put a lot of effort into building networks. So it's not the top in terms of academics. And the few pure-blood students who came to exchange this time are all from some small families on the fringes of the wizarding world, and they don't have such strong racist ideas. In this situation, it is much easier than imagined for everyone to come together.
Theoretically, long journeys in the wizarding world tend to be a happier affair. But none of the students on this trip felt happy - there was just a dull blue sky and white clouds outside, and there was no scenery to see. It also requires a lot of intensive study. In addition to this, the diet is also very monotonous, and there is no good food made by the house-elves at all.
Luckily, the days weren't long, when the wall clock in the lounge the next day sounded music. Professor Sprout told everyone to go and change into their gowns, because their destination was about to arrive.
Ryan's gown is navy blue. As he changed his clothes and walked out of his room, he saw Hermione walk out of the next room. She was dressed in a goose-yellow robe, which made her look much sunnier than before.
When I got to the common room, I saw Professor Sprout standing there in a brown silk robe and shouting, "Everyone stand in two rows according to the grade, and then follow Professor Kettleburn and I to get out of the bus in formation." Now you check each other's clothes again to make sure there is no problem. ”
Professor Sprout then summoned Zhang Qiu and another fifth-year Slytherin boy from the group and asked them to each carry a silver instrument that Ryan didn't even recognize. And told them that after the two professors had saluted, they would give the gifts to Rector Castro Bruzzo.
It turns out that even in the wizarding world, there is a habit of exchanging gifts for each other similar to the Muggle world. Fortunately, in the wizarding world, the overall appearance is not low. So Professor Sprout was able to choose representatives whose looks would not tarnish the image of Hogwarts.
After ten minutes, when everyone was standing a little impatient, everyone could feel the train slowly stopping, and then there was a feeling of weightlessness.
After a few minutes, after some shock, the carriage came to a complete standstill. This should be the arrival at Castro Brus.
