Chapter 129: Conflict
"Regarding the Defence Against the Dark Arts class you taught, there is an order from the Ministry of Magic that Defence Against the Dark Arts should be a carefully arranged, theoretical-oriented course." With that, Umbridge crossed her fingers and looked at Ios with a smile.
However, Ios felt that her smile was fake, and it was ugly: "Yes." However, Defence Against the Dark Arts should focus on teaching defense charms. β
"No, no, no, the teachers of this course have been changing over the years, so the students' learning has been intermittent and unsystematic. In addition, many teachers do not follow the curriculum standards approved by the Ministry of Magic, which leads to poor student performance. β
"Again, Defence Against the Dark Arts class is considered to have achieved its goal as long as you are proficient in the use of defensive charms. As for the theory you mentioned, it is of little use in breaking the curse. β
The smirk that had been hanging on Umbridge's face finally disappeared, and she looked at Ios with an ugly expression: "In other words, you want to ignore the instructions of the Ministry of Magic and go your own way?" β
"I'm a Hogwarts teacher, not an employee of the Ministry of Magic." With that, Ios turned and walked away, leaving Umbridge staring at him behind his back with a vicious look.
Ios, who had psychic sense, could take in the expression on her face, but he didn't care. Not to mention that this is Hogwarts, even in the outside world, he is not afraid of the Ministry of Magic.
However, being targeted by this guy made him sigh that he would not have a good time for the next period of time. It's not that I'm afraid of her, but there is such a guy with an unsightly appearance who turns around him every day, and no one can stand it.
The next day, when Ios went to class, he found Umbridge already waiting in the classroom.
It's not good...
And the students in the class were also silent, without making a sound, and they all looked at the 'toad' who was pointing in front of the blackboard.
Umbridge taps her wand on the blackboard, and two lines of writing emerge: Defence Against the Dark Arts. Back to basics.
Then there was an extended version of what she had said to Ios last night, and then she tapped on the blackboard again, and the previous two lines were gone, replaced by new handwriting.
"These are your course goals for this year, please copy these words." She pointed to the newly revealed three lines of words.
1. Understand the fundamentals of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
2. Learn to discern where Defence Against the Dark Arts can be used legally.
3. Evaluate the Magical Defence in the context of practical use.
The students sitting in the class looked at each other, but did not immediately listen to her arrangement, after all, they had not heard of their teacher change.
Seeing this, Ios was not ready to continue to watch, he walked into the classroom: "Ms. Umbridge, I remember that I am the teacher of this class, right, why are you here and look like you are ready for class?" β
"Oh, don't get me wrong, Mr. Sovor." She put on that fake smile again, "I'm just here to convey instructions from the Ministry of Magic." In addition, I will be here to observe your teaching and evaluate your teaching skills. β
"Really? Then I'll erase those. With that, Ios pointed his wand at the writings, ready to erase them.
"Wait, they haven't copied this down yet." Umbridge quickly stopped him.
"Wouldn't you just look at that? There's no need to copy it down. Ios replied lightly, erasing the handwriting.
"Oh? You mean you're not going to follow these instructions anymore? The smirk on Umbridge's face vanished, replaced by a disgusting sneer.
"That's right. What is the use of optical theory? This is a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and the Defense Charm is the most important thing. β
"Do you think you're better than the wizards who are much older than you, but those goals set for this class by the specially trained educators of the Ministry of Magic?" Umbridge, in an aggressive tone, gradually approached Ios.
"First of all, those so-called education experts didn't come to class, but I was in class, so they had to listen to me; Secondly, yes, I just don't think the education experts are as good as me. Ios answered her question calmly.
"You!" Umbridge's face changed, and just as she was about to reprimand him loudly, she found herself speechless and unable to move, and her whole body floated up and flew to the corner of the classroom.
"It's class time now, please don't interfere with my teaching anymore, or I'll kick you out." Ios, who restrained her without even using his wand, just glanced at her and lifted her confinement and turned to go to class.
"......" Umbridge, who was frightened by Ios with a mentally shocked look, was honest, and did not have the courage to provoke Ios again for the time being.
The admiration of Ios by the students who had been quietly watching all this had risen to a new level, whether it was his magical skills or the courage and confidence to stand up to the people from the Ministry of Magic.
Ron was also there whispering to the two best friends, "Did you see that?" That's so cool! β
Hermione took the opportunity to taunt him: "Didn't you say that Senior Sovol before, no, Professor Sowal is just handsome?" Now you know. β
"Oh, come on. I'm justβ" Ron's ears turned red, and he hurriedly excused himself.
Harry stopped him, "Alright, it's time for class." β
That's right, this Defense Against the Dark Arts class was taught by Harry's class.
"We went on to class, and last time we talked about some of the more common defensive charms that can be used to protect yourself in many situations. And this time, let's put your learning to the test. β
Ios curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the students below with bad intentions.
"Next, I will take a roll call one by one, and the students who are called will come up and show your learning results, and I will try to make it as light as possible. Also, this test will be recorded in the usual grades, so don't try to mix it up. β
"Ahh
"The first one, um..." Ios didn't care about them, he taught everything, and it was none of his business if he didn't practice, so he randomly ordered a student to come to the stage.
However, although he issued evil spells to the students on stage, they were all spells that were not explicitly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic, and were not of a prank nature and had little impact.
After all, it's just a minor wizard who hasn't graduated, and the senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic is down there.
One by one, the students took turns on the stage in order, and what he didn't expect was that half of the students couldn't defend against his evil curse, and it seemed that they were still too easy.
After giving them a bunch of homework, Ios left the classroom and finished class.
