Chapter 313: Professor Binns's Crisis

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alright," Maca smoothed out the list of students on the lectern, then looked up at the students in the classroom, "That's the end of the roll call...... However, there is one thing I need to mention before I start the class......"

He paused, then continued: "I'm sure the other professors have already said it - next June, . . The LS exam will officially begin, and I personally hope that you can get a satisfactory result in the exam! ”

"Of course, after that, if you are still interested in ancient magic literature and want to study it more deeply...... "Maka said with a smile, "Ancient magic class, everyone is also welcome to continue their studies. ”

McKellen ...... Professor, that-"

A Ravenclaw student who had taken the Ancient Scripts raised his hand hesitantly. It seems that everyone is still a little uncomfortable with the "professor" of Maca - especially in the change of title.

"Please." Maca gestured disapprenousively.

"The ...... Well...... Stealth magic? The student thought for a moment and realized that he didn't know how to phrase it, "I mean...... If we choose to continue our education, can we learn that? ”

Maca nodded slightly, motioning for him to sit down first, and then said, "That wasn't invisibility just nowβ€”although it did produce a similar effect visually, but in essence, it was a kind of spiritual homogenization. ”

"I believe that in the past, Professor Babling had talked about the ancient magic script...... In particular, the ancient runi script, which we focus on learning, is a character that focuses on 'meaning', and behind a large number of symbols, there are complex and subtle symbolic meanings. ”

"Until now, scholars of ancient magic have been studying various ancient texts, trying to understand the ancient wizards and the true face of ancient magic."

"But in fact, the ancient magic texts that we have come into contact with are themselves a kind of ancient magicβ€”including those spells we use now, which have also evolved through the specific application of ancient magic texts."

With that, Maca pulled out a portion of the small piece of paper that was placed on the table, arranged it on the lectern in a certain order, and pressed one of them with one of her fingers.

Then, he took out a feather that he had prepared and gently placed it directly above the pieces of paper.

At the moment when he took it off, the students were surprised to see that the feather was held up by an invisible force, hanging lightly in the unobstructed air.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As long as we clearly understand the meaning of each ancient script, and sort the required scripts according to a specific array, we can use magic to make magic work. Maca looked around at the surprised faces in the classroom and smiled a smile of satisfaction.

Originally, he only cared about his own research, but he did not expect that when he could share his research results with others, the sense of accomplishment he received would be so fulfilling.

"Ma ...... Professor McLean, this is ...... Levitation Charm? Hermione, who was sitting in the front row, was the first to come back to her senses, and she quickly raised her hand and asked.

Hermione, who had been studying over and over again, found that she had no chance to show her strengths at all, because what Maca told everyone was a new subject that was completely different from the past.

Her question was like a pebble that broke the peace of the entire lake. After him, the classroom resounded with a flurry of exclamations and questions.

"Be quiet!"

Maca waved her hand, and the students closed their mouths unusually obediently, and the noise calmed down almost instantly.

"Of course it'......," he laughed, "not the Levitation Charm. ”

At this point, Maca waved her wand, and the pieces of paper flew into the air, and then slowly floated down on the first desk in each column.

At the same time, the feather lost its magical support and quietly settled on the lectern.

"It's just part of the 'Levitation Charm' – we know that the Levitation Charm allows objects to move in various ways according to the wizard's wishes, not just 'float'." "And, as you can see, the scraps of paper are painted in ancient runi ......."

"And the ancient runes are one of the many ancient scripts deduced on the basis of the 'ancient Phoenician runes', and in terms of the degree of mystery and the difficulty of understanding, they are the 'simplified versions' of the scripts closest to our time......"

In the past, modern wizards' general understanding of ancient magic scripts was still at the level of "ancient scripts". Although the wizards learned about the magic of ancient magic texts through reading some of the documents, they did not know much about it.

In the wizarding world where "knowledge is power", even if some wizards have researched some specific results, most of them will only be regarded as a kind of "inheritance" to be passed on to their descendants.

Because of this, the power of magic will not be as good as the next. Because even if a magic is lost, the other wizards have no way of knowing about it, and can only let it rot in silence.

And the "magic literature" that was once brilliant in ancient times has evolved into the current "ancient magic literature".

"It can be seen that Rowena was also a researcher of magic literature, and his research has been quite in-depth. But why didn't Hogwarts leave any knowledge of magical literature? ”

On this issue, Maca has long had doubts. Perhaps the admonition in the Book of Evil is correct, and if Rowena is not as "great" as the record suggests, isn't it normal for the broom to cherish itself?

However, there are still doubts about this issue, and Maca can't figure it out.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All in all, the mysteries of ancient magic literature are far beyond our imagination. After putting an end to the explanation just now, Maca changed the topic again, "Next, let's start with the ancient runi script, which is the easiest for everyone to understand, and slowly unravel the mystery of the ancient magic script......

Maca's ancient magic class made the little wizards feel a different sense of novelty.

If the ancient magic lessons of the past were as lethargic as the history of magic lessons; The current ancient magic text class really gives people a real sense of "this is also a kind of magic".

Although in the specific study, everyone still can't avoid the boredom of "memorization" - in fact, there are many more things to memorize than in the past - everyone's interest has been aroused by the magic application that Maca shows from time to time.

Perhaps, when today's second-year students move on to third-year, there will be a breakthrough increase in the number of students taking this course......

With Professor Flitvier in the back of the room looking at him full of surprise, Maca's first class came to an end.

However, in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class a dozen minutes later, the mood of the fifth-year Gryffindors and Slytherin students had already hit rock bottom.

……

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor of the castle, the new professor Umbridge sat behind the lectern, a disgusting hypocrisy on his smiling face.

On the blackboard in front of the classroom, these lines are written:

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Course Objectives:

l. Understand the basic principles of "Magical Defence".

2. Learn to distinguish the specific occasions for the legal use of "Magic Defence".

3. Evaluate the practical application efficiency of "Magic Defence".

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the classroom, all the students had to do was "read," "copy," and "memorize" Umbridge's assigned copy of The Theory of Magical Defence, and nothing more.

The content of the book was rather boring, and this course, which was supposed to be lively and interesting, was also taught by Umbridge, and replaced the ancient magic class as a boring course on a par with the history of magic class.

The vast majority of people feel that their attention is waning by the minute.

Soon, everyone became in a bad state of "staring at a certain line of text and reading it repeatedly, but only the first few words could be understood".

Nearly ten minutes passed, and the whole classroom seemed extremely dull.

Harry was stealthily looking left and right, and to his left, Ron was staring at the same spot of the book, the quill in his hand having been nearly half feathered off by him.

Harry turned his gaze to the right again, and the numbness in his heart was swept away.

There, Hermione was holding her right hand high, and a pair of piercing eyes were pinned straight into Umbridge's face. And the book on her desk seems to have been turned over most of it.

Harry couldn't help but flick the quill in his hand and cast an inquiring look at her.

Hermione didn't speak, she just shook her head slightly, and then turned her gaze back to Professor Umbridge, who was sitting behind the lectern with a smirk on his face.

Umbridge's gaze, however, was equally determined to ignore Hermione's raised right hand.

After a few moments, Harry was not the only student who noticed Hermione.

The book was so boring that the students turned their heads one by one, looking at Hermione curiously, trying to see how she managed to "silently force Umbridge to react."

Obviously, this is much more fun than a boring textbook.

Slowly, the eyes wandered back and forth between Hermione and Umbridge, and when this number exceeded half of the number, Umbridge finally could no longer hold on to her "just don't see" principle.

"Do you have any questions about this chapter, my dear?" She squeezed out more hypocritical smiles on her face, and pretended to have just seen her raise her hand.

"Yes Professor," Hermione said solemnly, standing up, staring into Umbridge's eyes, "I ......personally thought the chapter on 'Fundamentals of Getting Started' that you made us read."

At this time, the faces of the students were already showing a look of watching a good show, but ......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Personally, I think it's wonderful! ”
