During Easter holidays, Year 2 students have something new to think about, and they should choose a Year 3 course.

Starting this year, Year 3 students will be required to take at least two courses from Ancient Rune Studies, Conservation of Magical Creatures, Divination, Arithmetic Divination, Arithmetic Divination, and Muggle Studies, in addition to the eight compulsory courses of Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, History of Magic, and Mathematics.

Zhang Xu sat at the desk in the dormitory, carefully studying the course selection schedule in front of him.

The course of ancient rune studies must be chosen, because many ancient magic books in Europe are written in ancient runic script, and if you want to understand these books, you must first learn this course.

At the same time, Runifin is a spell that requires carving or painting Runiwen on the item when crafting a magic item.

As for the other courses, Zhang Xu was a little undecided.

He would definitely not have chosen the two courses of divination and arithmetic divination.

Instead of learning at Hogwarts, it is better to go back and learn from Zhao Lao.

Zhao Lao's family is a family of alchemists who are famous for divination. Although Zhao Laokai's great move to change (gǎo) and the country (shì) relied on the foresight of the traverser, from the Second Opium War to the signing of Panmunjom, he experienced countless battles in the past 90 years, and was able to survive all of them, which is inseparable from his deep family history.

If he wants to learn, the knowledge that comes out of Zhao Lao's fingers will be enough for him.

And divination is very talented, and people without talent can't even tell whether they want to bring an umbrella when they go out the next day.

Now among the younger generations of Zhao's family, the one with the highest talent and the true inheritance of the family is engaged in weather forecasting at the National Meteorological Bureau.

If he wanted to play divination, he believed that he could scare Dumbledore out of a heart attack by pretending to be forced.

Zhang Xu didn't want to choose the protection of magical creatures class, because this course is a big pit, and the reason is that next year's professor is Hagrid, a super big pit.

Besides, the relationship between Zhang Xu and Hagrid is very poor, the two had a conflict in the Forbidden Forest in the first school year, and Zhang Xu killed Hagrid's spider friend family all over the field this school year, in this case, if it wasn't for Dumbledore's suppression, the two of them might have fought.

At that time, Zhang Xu's treatment in class may be the same as Harry's treatment in Potions class. So he didn't want to find himself bored with this class.

As for the Muggle Studies class, Zhang Xu had no doubt that he could beat Professor Carreddy Bubbaji on Ten Downing Streets.

Zhang Xu learned from Zhang Qiu that the things taught in the Muggle studies class did not know which world of Muggle knowledge, and the things in the books were full of prejudice and misunderstanding.

After some consideration, Zhang Xu finally chose Muggle Studies for his second elective.

The reason is simple, the homework in this course is very simple for him, and he can solve it without using any brain.

After Zhang Xu finished choosing the class, he found that there was still some time before he could get to dinner, so he wrote a comparison of the combat effectiveness of the students between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Huaxia School of Magic, which he would use when he went back to the meeting to give a report this summer.

Zhang Xu found that when students in junior high school make a move, students in Huaxia will suffer. High school students can use their hands, and Huaxia students can hang Hogwarts students and beat them. ...... for students at the university level There are no magical universities in Europe.

The reason for this lies in the general environment of the magical worlds of the two sides.

The wizarding world of Britain and other European countries is almost stuck in the Middle Ages, and the thinking is still in the stage of-for-tat between wizards and Muggles, and due to the imperfection of the legal system, the incidence rate of vicious cases between wizards is high, so Hogwarts and other European witchcraft schools have consciously added combat content such as Defense Against the Dark Arts class from the beginning. Coupled with the home teaching of the magic family, the students who have just entered the magic school for two or three years have a certain combat effectiveness.

For example, Draco Malfoy was able to use an own long to get out of the hole when he was in his second grade.

In Huaxia, Fang Shi has been living in harmony with ordinary people for thousands of years, and there is no major contradiction between them. In addition to the war years, Fang Shi's enemies were often peers, as well as various demon beasts. At that time, there were quite a few offensive spells of the alchemists.

After the founding ceremony in 1949, seeing the fulfillment of Zhao Lao's "five-star out of the East to benefit China", the scholars rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to build the four modernizations with the country, and made drastic reforms in education, magic and other aspects.

On the one hand, magic education has broken the traditional teaching mode of inheritance within families and sects, and has become an education model based on modern schools. The traditional family and sect have transformed into the existence of scientific research institutes.

On the other hand, the direction of the development of spells began to favor the development of construction-oriented and practical spells. Therefore, a large number of spells that can solve the problems of material science and processing technology on the scientific side have been developed.

In addition, under the influence of Zhao Lao's Zhan (hū) Bu (yōu), the children of the Fangshi family who went abroad to learn the advanced technology of Western countries have returned to China, and they have both scientific and magical knowledge, and they have brought the painting style of the Chinese magic world more and more deviant.

After 30 years of accumulation, in the 80s, the Fangshi world began to enter a period of great explosion and development. All kinds of new spells emerged one after another, not only promoting the development of the Fang Shi world, but also promoting the development of ordinary society together.

This led to the fact that the training of students of Huaxia Fangshi was not mainly based on combat. Only alchemists who have just entered high school and university receive only one month of limited military training when they participate in military training. In terms of combat, the military is responsible for training them after joining the army.

But this does not mean that the high school Fangshi students have no combat effectiveness, on the contrary, the destructive power caused by the Fangshi at this age is the greatest, and most of the time of the "Into Science" program group is cleaning up the aftermath for them.

First, the magic that a monk of this age learns and masters is powerful enough, and he has begun to have a certain ability to develop spells.

Second, people of this age are most likely to be obsessed with and imitate novels, movies and TV series with various martial arts, Xianxia themes, and even war, gunfight themes, as well as various video games.

Third, students of this age have a strong ability to accept and learn new things, and living with ordinary people all year round makes them have access to a lot of ordinary people's wisdom and use it in spells, which leads to their brains opening all year round, and the top of their necks is simply a honeycomb coal.

Under the comprehensive use of these three, Huaxia's high school students are full of tricks and often do not play cards according to routines.

For example, Zhang Xu's commonly used lighting technique to paste his face was actually developed by Huaxia's student Fang Shi based on the "searchlight" tactic used by Soviet Marshal Zhukov in the battle to conquer Berlin.

And the spells learned in high school are used in battle, and the destructive power is not weak, the fire spell is used to burn people and smelt the Dan furnace as well, the water spell is not difficult to make the effect of the high-pressure water gun at all, the wood spell can make the grass on the ground tentacle, and it is as good as racing and strangulation, and the earth spell makes a big pit and breaks one of the opponent's legs without pressure, and the transformation spell has a variety of ways to kill people invisibly. Coupled with the stun spells, iron armor spells, and petrification spells taught during military training, the lethality of a real hand is no less than blowing up a large-caliber cannonball in a pile.

At the same time, it also led to the fact that in the curriculum that the alchemists received from childhood, ideological and moral education has always been the top priority.

After putting away the draft of the analysis report just now, Zhang Xu looked at the course selection list again, and once again determined that he would choose two elective courses according to the minimum number and would no longer choose them. The remaining three doors are all pits, if you can not step on it, you will not step on it, and Zhang Xu will be very nervous next year.

Because after the end of the next school year, he will return to China to take the high school entrance examination.

And after the end of this semester, he will return to China to take the junior high school entrance examination.

So this semester, while thinking about how to deal with the basilisk and the Horcrux diary, he is brushing the test papers of Chinese, English, mathematics, ideology and politics, history, geography, physics, chemistry, and biology.

If he fails in the junior high school entrance examination, Zhang Xu estimates that he will be teased by the two "fellow countrymen" Zhao Lao and Mr. Qian for a lifetime. Zhao Lao was born in the second class of the palace examination in the year of Xianfeng Yimao in the Qing Dynasty, and the champion of that year was Weng Tongyi. Mr. Qian got the admission notice of Zhongguancun College of Arts and Sciences as the champion of the provincial college entrance examination. With these two top students in front, if Zhang Xu fails in his junior high school exam, it will become his black history.

As for the domestic spell learning, it is relatively easy, and the spell learning in the three years of junior high school is mainly based on laying the foundation, basic theoretical knowledge and mana control, supplemented by basic spells and simple prescriptions.

Now that Zhang Xu has finished self-learning the content of the junior high school stage, he expects to brush up on the previous year's "Five-Year High School Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation Spell", "Tianli Thirty-eight Sets of Spells", "Huanggang Examination Dictionary Herbal Medicine" and so on, and there will be no problem in the high school entrance examination.

However, in the next high school level, the difficulty of learning spells will skyrocket, and in the second year of high school, you will have to choose your own direction of spell development.

Thinking about the fourth to sixth years at Hogwarts, he may have to experience "plot" events such as the Triwizard Tournament, Dolores Umbridge's seizure of power, the Battle of the Department of Mystic Affairs of the Ministry of Magic, and Dumbledore's bento while reviewing for the college entrance examination, Zhang Xu had a plan to transfer to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a while.

After the Easter holiday, after handing in the course selection list, Zhang Xu was preparing to brush a set of geography test papers in the reading room.

Just as Zhang Xu finished writing the multiple-choice question, an owl flew in front of Zhang Xu.

Opening the letter brought by the owl, Zhang Xu was surprised to find that it was an invitation letter sent by Dumbledore in his capacity as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, inviting Zhang Xu to meet in the headmaster's office.

In the past, when Dumbledore approached Zhang Xu, he usually asked Filch to bring a message, or to send a note to a thousand paper cranes, but it was the first time that such a formal invitation letter had been made.
