When Ryan walked into the classroom with a group of people, he was surprised to find that it was completely different from the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom at Hogwarts, with no blackboards, no projectors, not even desks and chairs.

There are a lot of obstacles set up throughout the classroom, making it feel like a labyrinth. Ryan could even see a few gaps in the walls of the classroom leading to the next classroom, and through the gaps, he could see that several other classrooms were similarly arranged to this one.

"Everybody come together so I can see each and every one of you. A voice came from behind a plant. Bypassing the plant, a burly middle-aged male professor stood on a half-cut stump and shouted to the young wizards below, "I know that there are exchange students coming to our class today, so I hope you will allow me to give a little introduction to what we are going to do today." I'm sure there are some students who don't know, but you can take this opportunity to listen to it. Of course, yes, students, I allow you to take a break while I speak. ”

"Last year we spent a whole year practicing how to cast spells, how to dodge, how to defend in wizard gladiatorial fights. This year, we're going to add more complex, more hands-on variables, such as different environments, surroundings, etc. So I've now turned the classroom into a labyrinth so that you can get a feel for how to take the most appropriate way to fight in different environments. ”

"In the labyrinth in front of you now, there are many golems that can automatically shoot magic, as well as many aggressive plants. Your task in this class is to use all the power at your disposal to obtain the Golden Acorn that I have placed in the center of the labyrinth. ”

"The final position is calculated according to the time to get the acorn, and the time is increased by 30 seconds for each hit. Each person is allowed to be hit five times, and more than five are directly eliminated. Of course, on the premise of completing the competition, I will give the top three players a reward today: a separate teaching of the advanced spell Patronus Charm on their rest day. Now let me ask the question, who knows what the Patronus Charm is for?"

Hermione raised her hand with a habitual brush, and everyone else slowed down by half a beat. The professor, who looked like King Ma in the A Song of Ice and Fire TV series, pointed to Hermione's position and said, "Okay, it's you, the brown-haired, exchange student from England." What's your name?"

"Hermione Granger"

"Then Granger, please answer the question you just asked. ”

"Patronus charms are generally used to ward off Dementors or Voldemort bats, but they can also be used to transmit messages. When casting a spell, the wizard needs to concentrate on the happiest things in his heart. The mantra is "Calling the Gods to Guard". Wizards can summon their own Patronus through the Patronus Charm, allowing them to take the attack in their place and launch a counterattack. Hermione replied confidently.

"I can't think of a more standard answer, yes, the Patronus Charm is a narrow but important spell. It should be noted that Dark Wizards are unable to cast this spell because they are negatively affected by Dark Magic and lack sufficient positive emotions. And the need for emotional involvement is an important characteristic of advanced spells."

Speaking of which, the professor looked at the three exchange students in the classroom and said, "Finally, I would like to add that the UK has the largest race of Dementors in the world, but they strictly control the transmission of Patronus charms. The reason for this is that their Ministry of Magic uses Dementors as one of their direct powers. But I think it's very stupid to do because this naturally evil creature is very untrustworthy. Working with them couldn't be more stupid. ”

"Okay, line up by initials, and go in one by one. Remember that whether you finish or are eliminated, you will meet in another classroom at the end of your assignment and will not be allowed to come back. Alright, let's get started. ”

As time went on, Ryan had fewer and fewer classmates around him. Hermione and Daphne had already gone in first, but due to the obstacles, Ryan couldn't see what was going on inside, and he didn't know if Hermione had succeeded. Finally, the professor read Ryan's name. As the whistle blew, Ryan burst into the classroom.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Ryan noticed that his surroundings suddenly fell silent. It seems that these obstacles also have a soundproof effect, no wonder I didn't hear any sound inside just now. Originally, Ryan planned to use the Flying Charm to attract the acorn, but he found that he didn't know what the acorn looked like, so he had no choice but to give up.

The road between the obstacles is tortuous, but there is no fork in the road. After a few steps, Ryan turned right into a corner. The road ahead was still empty, but Ryan raised his vigilance to the highest level, after all, the space here was only so large, and it was impossible for students to put so many roads to pass through so easily.

Sure enough, as soon as he took two steps, Ryan saw two wooden sticks suddenly appear from the obstacle next to him and hit him horizontally. At this point, Ryan shattered the stick below with a smashing spell, and then the man leaned back, avoiding the stick above.

The dismount at the beginning was quite powerful, and it seems that the road ahead is likely to be more difficult. As expected, the road becomes more and more difficult, and Ryan encounters totem poles that shoot fireballs and trees that hit people with branches. Flowers spewing strange pollen, and even a group of Capora hiding in obstacles and throwing stinky mushrooms at everyone who passes by.

Luckily, the professor used a lot of flora and fauna according to local conditions, so Ryan could predict most of the traps in advance through the combined detection of nature and life magic. And the sudden attacks are not very difficult for Ryan, who has faced no less than twenty raids from Marauders in the wasteland.

Finally, after Ryan blasted through an obstacle with the Crushing Charm, he managed to take a shortcut to the finish line. At the end of the line, there is a small stone platform with an acorn on it. It's just that unlike regular acorns, this acorn is golden.

Because he was in a hurry by some traps set by the previous professor, Ryan took off his robe and rolled the acorn off the stone platform this time. As he expected, a mechanism was set up on the stone platform, and as soon as the acorn left its place, a stream of brownish-yellow liquid burst out of the stone platform. If you take it carelessly, you will likely be sprayed in the face.

After the liquid was splashed, the stone platform slowly fell into the ground. A nearby hidden door to another classroom opened. The students who walked through the maze before are now in this classroom.

Ryan easily found the two companions, after all, the two black-robed people in the pile of green robes were very conspicuous. However, the two girls didn't look good: Daphne had a lot of stinky mushroom green slime stuck to her head, and Hermione had her robes colored with pollen.

They were a little surprised to see Ryan dressed in neat black robes, and after questioning, Ryan learned that neither of them had succeeded in completing the whole process. Although Hermione had improved her physical strength by learning Ryan's workouts, Daphne had mastered many special spells as a pureblood. However, since he had no experience with this kind of training method that was close to actual combat, it was easy to be successfully attacked by the traps set inside.

However, this does not mean that the two of them are bad, because Ryan knows from the comments of other students around him that even after a full year of professional training, 2/3 of the students in the class still fail to complete the project.

According to the students around me, the layout of this maze will change every time I practice. The final exam requires everyone in the class to successfully pass this type of maze. In this way, it is not for nothing that Castro Brushuo Academy can become the world's top magic school.
