Bewildered by the publisher, Bernard received another notice of a meeting with Madame Maxim. But you haven't had anything new lately, have you? Why did Madame Maxime think of seeing herself?

With such a question, Bernard came to the principal's office, and the Madame Maxim who he thought he was going to see was not there, but sitting in the principal's room was an old man wearing a golden robe with the sun and many other stars printed on it, and Bernard had a guess in his heart when he saw this.

"Kid, you're here early! Wait a little longer, there's still no one coming! The old man said with a gentle smile, and at the same time a stool floated over, followed by dessert and milk tea.

Seeing that the old man had no intention of speaking, Bernard had to sit there and drink milk tea, and in the next hour, a dozen students came here one after another, and Bernard saw Bastiter and his alchemy teacher, Professor Bebler, which made Bernard even more sure of his guess.

He and Bastith got together and muttered a few words, and the old man waved his hand lightly when he saw that no one was coming, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"I'm sure everyone has guessed who I am, yes, I'm Nick Lemay" Without waiting for everyone to cry out in surprise, Nick Lemay continued: "Madame Maxim kindly invited me to come back to teach, but I am really old and can no longer take on the responsibility of teaching students, but Beauxbatons is my alma mater, and I really have feelings for her, so at the repeated invitation of Madame Maxim, I decided to let her select some talented students to come to me to receive some extracurricular tutoring from me. ”

After listening to Nick Lemay's words, Bernard understood completely, and the meaning of the old man's words was obvious, that is, although I can't teach everyone, I can still open a small stove for excellent students.

"You should be the final person selected by the principal, from today onwards, you can go downstairs in the principal's office every night to listen to my lectures, and it is up to you how much you can learn."

It can be seen that the wizards who came here can understand the meaning of these words, and everyone has excited expressions on their faces, and they follow the old man's back to the classroom downstairs to start today's teaching.

There was no real progress in the first lesson, and after getting to know each other, Nick Lemay was tasked with reciting the books "The First Interpretation of the Demon Text" and "The Origin and Development of Alchemy".

Although the others are gone, Bernard knows that his dark days are coming, because this kind of homework without time must be completed the next day, but although so many things have been learned, Bernard does not think that he can memorize them in one night.

……

With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, Bernard finished all of today's classes, and then ushered in the evening of extracurricular tutoring, and sure enough, the first thing he said at the beginning of the class was.

"If you have already memorized it, please raise your hand?"

Less than half of the people raised their hands, including Professor Bebble, an alchemy instructor. "Very good, you can go out without raising your hand, in my class, the task must be completed, and if you don't do it, it only proves that you are not suitable for my teaching."

Although some people wanted to raise objections, in front of the six-hundred-year-old wizard, everyone obediently packed up their things and left. When they finished walking one after another, Nick Lemay said to the six or seven students and a teacher who were seated: "We will give some answers to the doubts in yesterday's study today, and you will come first." ”

After that, he waited for everyone to start asking questions, and these little wizards deserved to be the best students of Beauxbatons at the moment, and everyone's questions were very good, obviously Nick Lemay was very happy with this, and then it was a different situation, and the gentle face appeared again, and it was completely like the serious wizard before.

"Okay, that's the end of today's lesson, everyone's task today is "The Mystery of the Demon Text" and "The Intermediate Theory of Alchemy", I believe you understand what I mean." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Understood! Understand you big-headed ghost! Bernard cursed in his heart.

……

For the next ten days, the process was repeated every day, endorsing and then answering questions, during which time Bernard not only reviewed what he had learned before, but also memorized textbooks for the next few years, and by this time, only three people were still studying here. And those little wizards who didn't come back, some because they couldn't complete the task, and some gave up on their own.

In fact, Bernard has long been unable to hold on, but the recitation method of the previous life is still useful here, and through the concatenation of knowledge, Bernard has finally persevered to this day. I dare to swear that if I do it again, I will never be able to persevere.

But fortunately, the nightmare is over.

"Congratulations to all of you, you have successfully reviewed all the basics of magic and alchemy in the past ten days, and after that you will learn the relevant knowledge that I have written exclusively."

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, six books floated to the three of them, two for each person, one about magic literature and one about alchemy.

"Everyone will not have the task of memorizing in the future, in the future, we will all learn these two books, before it was to lay the foundation for everyone, but unfortunately many people have a weak foundation." After speaking, he wiped his eyes with emotion, as if he was sorry for the decline in the level of Beauxbatons' students.

……

It wasn't until the summer vacation that the three Bernards finally finished the two books, and Nick Lemay said that in addition to the alchemy professor Bible, the remaining two students, Bernard and another girl, had to take a special final exam, although the results would not be shown, but this would determine whether there was a chance to continue studying with Nick Lemay next year.

For this reason, Bernard and the girl named Revelyn worked hard for this, and even relaxed on the final exam, Revelyn didn't know what the grades were, but Bernard was no longer the first in the grade, but the fifth, of course, the teachers who knew the inside story said to Bernard that it didn't matter, after all, the opportunity to learn from the Great Wizard was rare.

……

The two men stood with bated breath, anxiously waiting, until Nick Lemay's familiar voice rang out. "Revelyn, it's a pity that you won't be able to learn alchemy with me next year, although your talent is good, but Bernard is clearly superior......"

Before Nick Lemay could finish speaking, the girl couldn't stand crying and ran out of the door. Sighing, Nick Lemay didn't say anything, turned to Bernard.

"According to my agreement with Madame Maxime, the best students will be accepted by me, which is why you two will be left for the exam. So, now, you can call me a mentor, and according to the ancient rules among alchemists, you will make a contract with me, and I will guide you on the path of alchemy. ”

Looking at the excited young man, Nick Lemay did not speak, but took out a codex and waited for a while before continuing to speak: "According to the ancient rules, every new alchemy apprentice will receive a free gift from the mentor, I will give you a copy of my alchemy experience and an alchemy product, and when you leave the school, you must also return your alchemy experience and alchemy product. ”

……

Looking at the alchemy codex and silverware in front of him, Bernard didn't know what to say, what he had planned for so long was completed in such an unbelievable way, although it was hard some time ago, but the harvest was not abundant, his level of magic and alchemy has been completely defeated by all the students in school, and it can even be said that he can approach his alchemy professor, because the previous surprise of his own manifestation can also be copied.

And the biggest gain is the alchemy codex and silverware in front of him, the value of Nick Lemay's alchemy codex naturally does not need to be mentioned, this silverware is really amazing to Bernard, this silver that appeared in the original book I always thought it was Dumbledore's work, but I didn't expect it to be given to Dumbledore by my mentor. And now, I have one.
