Chapter 44: QB is still suspicious
In the days that followed, in addition to the various QB dishes on the table every day, which allowed the magical girls to vent their negative feelings, the new semester was unexpectedly calm, and there was not a single attack in the chapter, Professor Sprout also happily announced that the mandrakes became irritable, which showed that they were growing up quickly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lockhart, for his part, publicly claimed that the attack was over and said it was the result of his efforts. Not only did he repeatedly promote this to his students in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but he was also asked to write a sonnet praising him for fighting monsters. For this kind of idiotic homework, Xana directly said - don't write.
"But he is a professor after all, Xia Na, if you don't hand in your homework, you will be punished for labor service."
Hallie admonished.
"It's just, just just put together a few words, that guy doesn't actually read it."
Ron also said on the side.
"Did you write your physics homework today?"
Ron slumped back to the house to make up for the lesson. Xana stops Harley, who is about to slip away with her, and will have a regular meeting with the wanderer in London about the recent international situation.
"Yes."
Harley said weakly. What is so boring and boring in a meeting, and it is all something that is far away and unfamiliar places, and every time I attend a meeting, I doze off in a fog.
After an hour of boredom...
"Sister Xana, can I go?"
Harley felt that she had better go back to her dorm room to make up for sleep, and she had almost fallen asleep several times during the regular meeting.
"Go, go..."
Sent away Harley, what Xana and the wanderer talked about next was the most important content, the exchange of information about her sister Harley was not qualified, she still thought that Misaka Kotomi was out on a business trip.
"Is there any new progress in the search for my sister's whereabouts?"
"The Order has mobilized all the forces it can mobilize to search for it, but there are no new discoveries yet. Xana, how are you over there, did Misaka-sensei wake up the new ship girl again? ”
"Not a single new ship."
Since that day was stimulated by the cross-time and space extraction, the core has been silent, and the fleet list has been frozen at that moment, and the flagship Misaka cargo record that can be found in the middle, there are at least dozens of ship cores that have not been activated.
Even if my sister takes energy every day to make herself like this, it's better than being so quiet, is my sister in danger when she activates the core of the ship? Now it is not activated, is it ......
"Don't worry, Misaka-sensei will be fine."
Seeing that Xia Na was depressed, the wanderer hurriedly spoke comfortingly, but it was dry, and the teacher was very strong, so it must be okay.
"By the way, how was the last time I asked you to contact you? Did Enkami-sama reply to the letter? ”
Xana didn't want to discuss this heavy topic anymore and asked about the Wanderer before.
"Not yet. As you know, we don't have a straight line connection with the world of the round gods, and the letter of assistance needs to be sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Traveler Alliance, and then transferred through the cross-world postal system, plus they are still fighting, and it will take a long time. The wanderer was silent for a moment, "I still don't think it's necessary, are you too worried?" Maybe it's just that Kewpie has found a new loophole in the sales manual. ”
The wanderer felt that there was no point in Xana's request for Yuanshen's assistance. When QB first arrived, passports and visas were repeatedly checked, and the signature of Yuanshen on them was definitely not forged. Since the inhibition signature is real, what else can there be.
"I hope I'm too worried, but I'm really not at ease if I don't ask clearly."
Since returning to school and discovering that QB was cold and violent to Hermione, Xana took the thick "Sales Manual" and studied it repeatedly, and retrieved information to study QB's past MLM records.
Kewpie, though evil, is an absolutely orderly creature. In the past, although Kewpie tried his best to exploit the loopholes of the rules, they would never directly violate the rules themselves. And now, Kewpie is like before the god of Yuanshen, using all kinds of cold violence against magical girls, mentally hurting them, which is expressly forbidden in the "manual". Based on the results of semantic analysis, I didn't find any logical loopholes in this part of the clause, and I can only assume that Kewpie is breaking the rules. I also find it suspicious that a species that is absolutely orderly should actively violate the rules, even the slightest part. ”
The rules can be distorted, misinterpreted, and avoided, but they must not be directly violated, this is the iron law of the evil order-keeping camp, and QB clearly violates this rule, which is very suspicious.
"Then it's good to check it out, I'll notify you in time if there is news."
The wanderer ended the call.
Xana packed up her paperwork and planned to go to the break room to finish her transfiguration class homework for today, but before she could write a few words, she heard the Weasley twins talking about what they had just overheard.
"I swear I heard it with my own ears, Merlin is on top!" I don't know if it was George or Fred's guy who made an exaggerated oath," he said, 'What the school needs right now is a morale-boosting person.'" Erase all the memories of the last semester! I can't say much right now, but I think I know exactly that...'. That's right! That's what Lockhart said to Professor McGonagall. ”
"What's this guy going to do?"
"I'm afraid it's not good."
The Gryffindor boys in the lounge were talking, and everyone thought that Lockhart's morale-boosting method might not be very good, and it was probably a farce.
"Who knows! I hope I don't make another Parseltongue..."
Someone said something halfway and shut up, why is he so mouthful, he didn't look around before he spoke, and the violent woman Xia Na was actually on the side.
"Ahh There is still a farce, it's annoying enough, can't we study quietly! If I go on like this, I will definitely fail the OWL exam in Defense Against the Dark Arts class! Do you want me to bribe Lockhart's hardcover novel to the judges? ”
This one, I am afraid that he was too stressed, and he actually shouted excitedly, and threw quills and parchment everywhere.
Fifth-graders have to take the OWL (Ordinary Wizard Grading Exam) at the end of the semester, which is definitely not much worse than the average person taking the university exam. Don't look at the school that even if you do badly in the exam, the school can let you continue to study (after all, the seven years of Hogwarts are compulsory), but the OWL grades are too poor, then the last two years of study will definitely be worrying, and most of the results (of the advanced wizarding level exam) are not much better, and there are too few strongmen who can catch up.
For ordinary students with no background, graduating with bad grades is destined to have a bleak future, no wonder they are so excited.
Xia Na looked at the crazy senior with pity, but she encountered such an unreliable teacher in the exam this year, it is really enough for a cup, and it is not as good as Quirrell possessed by Voldemort last year, at least the Dark Lord is very weak in disguise, but what is taught is the real thing.
In the next few days, everyone waited to see Lockhart's farce, but unexpectedly, Lockhart didn't make any special moves, and it was calm, and many people even wondered if the Weasley twins were cheating.
It wasn't until one day in February that everyone found out that some guys don't die because he's really enlightened, but because he's been preparing to die.
On the morning of February 14th, when she went to breakfast, Xia Na was startled as soon as she opened the door, and the scene in front of her made people wonder if she had taken the wrong path, why was the auditorium so warm today?
The walls are covered with huge and bright pink flowers, and countless heart-shaped pieces of confetti fall from the pale blue ceiling, flying everywhere like catkins, and if you don't open a shield to cover them, they will fall on the plate and the meal will not be eaten properly.
"That's how he boosted morale?"
"I want to... Yes. ”
On the stage, Lockhart, dressed in bright pink robes to match the decorations, waved his hands for silence, the teachers on either side of him stood stiffly, the corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched, and Snape's face was even more ugly, as if he had just been forced to drink.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart exclaimed, "Forty-six people have presented me with greeting cards so far, and I want to thank them!" Yes, I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for you – and that's not all! ”
Lockhart clapped his hands and strode through the doors leading to the foyer into twelve grim-faced dwarfs. And they were different from ordinary dwarves, Loha held them all with golden wings and harps on their backs.
Xana had already thought of what this was, but with goblin makeup Cupid, the effect was really unbearable to look at, and it made people's SAN value drop wildly. If Eros really looks like this, it is better to be a single dog for the rest of his life.
"My friendly little cupids with greeting cards!" Lockhart said beamingly, "They're going to be wandering around the school today and handing you Valentine's Day cards!" And that's not all! I'm sure my colleagues are willing to take part in it! Why don't you ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make a potion! If you're interested, Professor Flitwick is more proficient in mesmerizing magic than any wizard I've ever met, cunning old dog! ”
Hearing this, Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands. Looking at Snape again, his face was even more ugly than just now, if anyone really asked him how to make the ** medicine, he would definitely be poisoned.
"Hermione, please tell me, you're not one of the forty-six, are you?"
On the way to the classroom, Ron asked. Hermione, on the other hand, rummaged through her school schedule in her bag with great interest, but did not answer. Xana sighed, the answer is self-evident, recently the magical girls have been diverted by worshipping Lockhart because of the QB problem, and as a result, the number and degree of brain-dead fans have become more serious.
Throughout the day, the goblin dwarfs kept barging into classrooms and handing out Valentine's Day cards, much to the annoyance of the teachers. Only the Potions class was free of goblin harassment, and the Snape's special special dwarf ice sculpture at the door of the classroom clearly told the newcomers that if they didn't want to die, they wouldn't go in.
"Who did you send the card to? Isn't it..."
"I won't tell you."
"Little girl, just tell me!"
"Ahh It's so itchy......"
The girls gathered in a group to bite their ears and whisper among their girlfriends, and from time to time they made a fuss. The boys showed off their greeting cards and Valentine's Day chocolates (the girls made them at noon and gave them away with their cards). Even Shana had to admit that Lockhart's farce was not all death, it really boosted a lot of morale, and made the students turn their attention from the secret room attack to another battlefield - the battlefield of mammal reproduction.
"Burn! I'm going to burn these freshmen! ”
Valentine's Day is a paradise for the present, a hell for single dogs. Unfortunately, Ron is a typical single dog, not to mention chocolate, he didn't even receive a greeting card, and he was abused to death by the scenes of affection in front of him.
"Where is my big FFF regiment! Come and burn these impure associations of the opposite sex! ”
Ron let out a silent cry, but unfortunately he didn't die. I could only tearfully watch others receive greeting cards and large bags of chocolates.
In the afternoon, as the Gryffindor students go upstairs for a magic class, a short man suddenly catches up with Harley.
"Hey, you! Harley Potter! ”
A dwarf, particularly gloomy man, shouted, elbowed the crowd apart, and squeezed towards Harry.
"I have a greeting card too?"
Hallie felt inexplicable.
If you're a boy, it's not surprising that someone sends a greeting card as a celebrity, but now you're a girl! What's going on, open Lily to get Ji?
"I have a message for the soundtrack to deliver to Harry Potter personally."
Hearing this, Harley pulled her legs and ran, no matter what the situation was, she didn't want to listen to this message.
"Stop, don't move!"
The dwarf chased after him.
If it was Harley in the past, I am afraid it would be difficult to get rid of this pesky goblin through the stairs that were tightly blocked by the students in class, but now Harley is a sorcerer whim.
"Bye-bye!"
Harley decisively flew out of the window with a flotation spell, leaving the jumping dwarf on the stairs, their wings just ornamental, and they couldn't fly at all. is able to fly, with the flying ability of the machine mother, even the real Cupid is coming, and those two little wings can't catch up.
But the next moment, Harley regretted it, because the dwarf actually used amplification magic to play the message to the whole school in order to let him hear it.
"This is your singing Valentine's Day gift: her eyes are as green as freshly pickled toads, she is as red and shining as a fireplace flame, I wish she was mine, she is truly beautiful, a warrior who conquers the Dark Lord."
The bizarre content and the ridiculous soundtrack made everyone laugh, and the ashamed Harley wanted to strangle everyone who heard the message.
"Ginny, I don't think Miss Potter likes your Valentine's Day gift very much! And are you sure you can be together? ”
Damn it! How did Malfoy get here, and how did he know that this greeting card was written by Ginny?
"Wow!"
Harley hurried back to the window, only to see Ginny's back covering her face and crying and running away. Malfoy looked proud, waving the greeting card that Ginny had written to Harley, and the dwarf next to him had a sparkling gold galleon in his hand.
"You two bastards, Reimaru!"
His sister was being bullied in front of his eyes, and Ron yelled and stretched out his hand. The pale blue ball of light formed on Ron's index finger, and before Malfoy could react, he was knocked away by the ball of light and rolled down the stairs with the dwarf who had seen the money and betrayed the customer.
"Let's go!"
Taking advantage of everyone's surprise that Ron can actually have wandless magic, Harley pulled Ron up and ran, and when Malfoy rolled down, Snape's reprimand came from downstairs, if you don't slip away quickly, it's not a joke to wait for Snape to come up to settle the score, Ron is afraid that he will spend the rest of his spare time in the second half of the school year cleaning the toilet.
"When did you learn the Secret of the Beginning?"
During the magic class, Harley whispered to Ron. What Ron was using just now was not a wandless magic, but the most elementary skill of the Spirit Light Wave Fist, the Spirit Pill.
"What Xana taught me when she came back was a benefit for auditors."
Ron didn't say the second half of what Shana said, and Shana's original words at that time were, "The Spiritual Light Beginner's Secret is a beginner's guide to the Spiritual Light Fluctuation Fist compiled by my sister herself, and it is the most important entry channel for auditors to gain strength, so you'd better practice quickly, lest a guy like you who even has a problem with a magic wand can't escape when he encounters a secret room monster, and he will be swallowed by the other party after being petrified." ”
Why is it that when everyone else is petrified and sent to the infirmary, I am going to be swallowed in one gulp? However, after Ron flipped through the book a little, he ignored Xia Na's ridicule and began to practice directly. It's not because of how diligent he is, but after he learns it, he can pretend to be a wandless magic god and deceive the school girl to worship the eye or something.
"Spiritual Light Beginner's Formula" is specially prepared for beginners who have no foundation at all, Ron himself has magic and does not need the most difficult first step to awaken the aura, and quickly converted his magic power into the aura of the aura of the aura fluctuation fist, and successfully made a contribution today, teaching Malfoy a hard lesson.
"Work hard to cultivate, as long as you learn well, I will be able to figure out the trick behind the Spiritual Light Fluctuation Fist."
Hallie patted her best friend on the shoulder, but she didn't see Ron tilt his head and pout. For Ron, it's okay to have a few spirit pills once in a while and pretend to be wandless magic, but it's not sensitive to continue to cultivate those inhuman improvement items.
