Chapter Seventy-Seven: The First Lesson
The next morning, just after dawn, Cynthia opened her eyes. It was still early after washing up, and she sat down at her desk to reconfirm the content of today's lesson.
When she looked up again, it was already breakfast time. Cynthia, dressed in her robes, pushed open the door and walked out of the office to the lobby on the first floor.
Along the way, many students said good morning to her, which made her somewhat nervous heart relax a lot.
The teacher's seat in the hall was empty, except for Severus, who had a gloomy face in the corner, quietly eating his breakfast.
"Good morning, Professor Snape!" Cynthia walked over and greeted him.
Severus froze at Cynthia's voice, and it was a moment before he responded, "Good morning, Professor Black." ”
After a while, the other professors walked in one after another.
"You're so early, Thea!"
"Good morning, Pomona! I thought I was late, only to come in and find that none of you had arrived! ”
Cynthia, who had finished breakfast, walked out of the hall, but was stopped by a person.
Professor Black...... What potions do I need for the Magic Circle course...... Just tell me...... I'll prepare......" Severus didn't dare to look at Cynthia's clear gray eyes.
"Ahh Thank you so much, Professor Snape! I'll let you know if you need it! If nothing else, I'll go up first, after all, on the sixth floor! Cynthia was very happy, with Severus's words, she didn't have to make a lot of magic supplements and potions herself.
"Goodbye ......"
Severus stood at the door of the hall, quietly watching Cynthia walk away until he was out of sight, and then he turned and walked towards the cellar.
Cynthia walked to the door of the magic array classroom, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
Before the students arrived, she picked up the roll call and looked at it.
A few minutes later, the class bell rang. Cynthia stood up, looked at the classroom full of students, and began her first class.
"In the first lesson, let's take a roll call so that I can get to know you! Olkan Arden...... Bill Weasley...... Alice Hibald: "Every time a name is pronounced, a student raises her hand.
"Although Professor Dumbledore introduced me yesterday, I would like to introduce myself again! I'm Cynthia Black, a graduate of Slytherin House at Hogwarts, your new professor of magic circles, and I'm sure you'll learn a lot in my class. ”
"At the same time, I also hope that you can experience the mystery of the magic array through my teaching! My office is right next door and I can be reached with any questions, except on weekends. ”
"Because it's the first time I've met you, I need to know about the stable output of your magic power, the magic enhancement array is the basic formation, you should master its formation diagram, now take out your magic wand, use only magic power, draw it!"
When the students heard this, they took out their wands, and after thinking about the formation diagram, they began to draw one by one.
Cynthia stood on the podium, watching each student's movements and magic stabilize, and gradually, she frowned.
Most of the students' drawings have been interrupted, either because the mana output is not stable enough, and some because they have forgotten the formation diagram.
Still drawing are Bill Weasley of Gryffindor and Susan Travers of Slytherin.
After a few more minutes, two complete magic arrays appeared.
"Excellent! Gryffindor and Slytherin add 10 points each! Because of Mr. Weasley and Miss Travers's perfect performance! Cynthia looked at the two magic arrays with satisfaction.
"But other students, I'm a little disappointed by your performance. You didn't even memorize the diagram of the Mana Enhancement Array, and given your performance, you can only draw a complete diagram on parchment for this lesson, and then move on to the next item after you are done. ”
"Mr. Weasley and Miss Travers don't need to draw, you two have other assignments."
"Pay attention first, I'll only draw the formation once, remember the formation carefully!" Cynthia picked up her wand and slowly drew a mana enhancement array.
Ten minutes later, a perfect magic enhancement array appeared in front of everyone's eyes. "Five minutes to memorize the time, and then start practicing on your own, and you have to hand it in front of the podium before class."
Five minutes later, Cynthia dispersed her formation and called Bill Weasley and Susan Travers to the podium.
"The foundation of the magic array of the two of you is very good, so you draw a complete magic enhancement array now, and I'll see how the increase is, the materials are in the cabinet over there." Cynthia looked at the two with a smile.
"Yes, Professor."
The two of them took out the moonstone powder from the material cabinet next to them, plucked out a hair of their own, and began to draw.
Cynthia kept an eye on the movements of the two in case something unexpected happened. But it turned out to be a success, and both men drew the formation.
"Mr. Weasley's drawing, the moonstone powder was interrupted in a few places, so the increase was only 10%." Cynthia looked at the red-haired Weasley first.
"Miss Travers has the same problem, except that there is only one interruption, so the increase is higher." Cynthia nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Travers.
"As for the reason for the interruption, I think you all know that the mana output is still not stable enough, so you can practice diligently! Gryffindor added one point and Slytherin added two. ”
"Professor Black, I have a question." Bill looked at Cynthia.
"How can the increase in the Mana Enhancement Array be increased? The book says that a perfect mana enhancement array has an increase of 20%, so is this increase the highest? ”
"That's a good question, Mr. Weasley! This increase can be increased, just add some other materials when drawing, and after my experimentation, adding an ounce of dragon scale powder is the most ideal. ”
"If you're interested, come to my office after dinner today! These are two bottles of mana supplements, and the mana consumption of the two of you is a bit large, so drink it. Cynthia pulled two potions out of a drawer.
At this time, all the students also finished drawing, "What you need to do now is to practice magic output, to draw a perfect formation, materials are one thing, but the most basic thing is magic output, so you must practice diligently." ”
"After you go back, everyone will finish drawing the magic power enhancement array diagram, and give it to me next week, five per person, and now you can get out of class!"
Cynthia slumped in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief when the students were done, and it seemed that the first lesson had worked well, which gave her more confidence.
After a ten-minute break, Cynthia started her second lesson.
