197 Classroom teaching
"Now, then, the first thing I'm going to teach you is to throw away this useless book."
In the old-decorated classroom, nearly 100 students from the two houses of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff looked at Duanchen in a daze and said the above sentence, and then saw that he really threw the book in his hand back, and the brand-new textbook fell into the trash can in the corner of the wall without mistake.
For a moment, all the students' faces were weird. A large part of the reason why they chose Broken Star's class over Professor Quirrell's class was because Broken Star looked much more normal than Quirrell's. The place where the class is held is neither a cold and dark basement, nor does the air smell of garlic feel so strong.
And in the eyes of the girls, Broken Chen, a handsome, noble and elegant young professor, is simply many times better than Quirrell. has just entered adolescence, and the most attractive thing for these girls who are budding in their hearts is, of course, not a textbook, but the almost demonic face of Broken Chen.
It's just that as soon as the class started, Broken Chen gave them such a play. Throwing textbooks in front of students? What kind of development is this, could it be that this young professor is also a person with a bad brain? The students couldn't help but be skeptical.
Facing the strange stares of the students, Broken Chen's face remained as usual, and he spoke: "You came to Hogwarts to learn magic, and the defense against the dark arts course was originally intended to teach you how to protect yourself, how to use effective means to defend and even fight back in the face of other people's magical attacks. ”
Speaking of this, Broken Chen's tone turned to a low tone: "But look at your textbooks, they only tell you what kind of black magic attacks you should use to defend against them, and many of them don't even explain the principle. Such a book, in my opinion, is just to help you remember how to answer the questions on the exam paper in the final exam, and it is no different from garbage. Could it be that when you fight against other wizards, can you beat each other with an exam paper? ”
The students looked at each other. They hadn't noticed or paid attention to the issue before, and the person who taught them the class was Professor Quirrell's weird guy, so their interest in the subject had long since faded. But today, when they heard Duan Chen's opening remarks, they vaguely felt that this young professor was very different, different from any other professor in the school.
It's just that after they looked down at the book "Defense Against the Dark Arts Basics" that they had placed on the table, everyone's faces were hesitant, because this book was necessary for their exam revision, and it was impossible to throw it away.
Duan Chen looked at everyone's faces, smiled and clapped his hands: "Classmates, listen to me, what I just said." It's not really that you should throw away the books, but that you don't need to bring the stereotypical textbook in my class, you just need to bring your wand, because what I'm going to teach you is not textbook knowledge, but real defensive magic. If you want to bring books, you can just bring them to Professor Quirrell's class. ”
Hearing Duan Chen's explanation, the students turned their heads to each other, and it was the first time that this group of second-year students had heard such a teaching method in their first year.
In the past. The students' favorite class was Professor Flitwick's Charms class, as there were lots of fun and practical little magic to learn.
The most hated was Professor Snape's Potions class, because Snape's facial expression was always so ugly, and he liked to deduct points from various houses.
The most boring class is the Ghost Teaching Binns' History of Magic. In its class, the students were completely recited until they fell asleep.
And the most speechless thing is the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, for the simple reason that the professor who teaches the class is Quirrell's strange one. And they learn little to no real usefulness.
As Broken Chen said, many years later, when they faced the dark magic attacks of other wizards, the first thing they thought of was not how to defend or fight back. Instead, think about how to do what the book says. I have to say, it's really a pretty sad thing.
Now when they saw that Duanchen actually wanted to change the inherent teaching mode, in addition to surprise and suspicion, they were more excited.
The expressions of every student in the class were fully visible, and when he saw that the students basically understood what they meant, he pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "I think you now know how I will teach you this course, and today I will start with the simplest black magic." ”
As he spoke, Broken Chen pulled out his dragon blood wand and waved it lightly, reciting the spell 'Flame Blazing', and an orange fireball the size of a basketball appeared in the air.
This is the fireball technique, the most basic attack magic, and the ordinary release effect is also like this. However, if a powerful mage uses this magic, the effect can be multiplied several times. That's why there is a saying in the wizarding world: there is no such thing as the strongest magic, only the strongest magician.
"Everyone knows this magic, the most basic attack magic - fireball technique." With a flick of his wrist as he spoke, the fireball floated to a halt in the center of the classroom.
All the students looked curiously at the fireball that was constantly burning overhead, wanting to see what Broken Chen would do next.
Breaking Chen didn't continue to move, but asked everyone, "Now I'm going to ask, what do you think is the best way to deal with the fireball attack?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a student who was anxious to express his hand raised his hand, and after getting Duan Chen's consent, he got up and replied, "Professor, I think it should be the use of a magic shield. ”
Broken Chen shook his head and nodded to another student who raised his hand, and the latter replied, "Use the water polo technique to extinguish the fire." ”
"What you said can eliminate the threat posed by the fireball technique, but unfortunately it's not the best way to deal with it. The magic shield consumes too much mana, and the water polo technique requires you to wave your wand and chant a spell, and you may have been hit before you can use it, and then you can only use it to wash the ashes on your face. ”
A small joke made the students laugh in agreement, and at the same time successfully aroused everyone's interest.
So what's the easiest and most effective way to do it? Professor. A student raised his hand and asked.
Broken Chen smiled and said: "Actually, the simplest and most effective method, each of you can do it, but you don't think about it, that is, dodge." No matter how powerful the fireball technique is, as long as you can't hit it, it's useless, and dodging doesn't require you to have any preparation time, and it doesn't require you to spend mana. It can be said to be the easiest and most effective method. ”
The students were stunned, they had thought that Broken Chen would tell them a very powerful defensive magic, but they didn't expect him to say that the most effective way was to dodge.
"You're all wizards, and the way you think about things is mostly from a wizard's point of view, so it's normal not to think about that. But in the future, I hope that you will learn to be flexible and get the most results at the least cost, which is what a smart wizard should do. After speaking, he stepped down from the podium and came to the small open space in front of the first row of desks.
"In general, dodging incoming fireballs is the best option. But if it's because of the terrain or if there's someone behind you that makes it impossible for you to dodge. At this time, it is necessary to use magic to defend itself. ”
Broken Chen glanced at the students who were listening attentively, and said with a smile: "Now I want to teach you a magic that is most effective in defending against fireballs, but before I do that, I want to ask a question, what kind of magic do you think is most effective against fire?" ”
This time, no students raised their hands, and everyone stared and thought for a long time, and then exchanged heads and discussed for a while without reaching a conclusion. Because Broken Chen had just talked about the disadvantages of the magic shield and the water balloon technique, and they only knew about these two magic spells against flames, so they were the problem for Broken Chen. None of them knew how to answer.
Broken Chen was not in a hurry at all, he waited until the students finished discussing in a low voice before he said, "Have you forgotten that I just said that you should think about things from a different perspective?" If you don't know what magic to use against fireballs. Just think about the principle of fireballing in reverse. If you want to defend against the dark arts, you need to know the dark arts. ”
After being reminded by Duan Chen, a student finally raised his hand, a little girl with an oriental face.
"Hello. This classmate, introduce your name, and then tell me your answer. ”
The little girl was a little nervous. He replied, "My name is Qiu?" Zhang, Professor, I think that flame burning requires burning matter and oxygen, and the burning substance of fireball magic is the magic power of wizards, and we can't control this, so I think we can think of a way from the oxygen aspect. ”
"Very good, Ravenclaw plus 10 points." Broken Chen smiled and asked Zhang Qiu, Harry's future first love, to sit down and look at the students: "Zhang Qiu's words are very right, if you want to destroy the fireball technique, the best way is to make it unable to get the oxygen it needs to burn, so the most effective defensive magic against the fireball technique is the vacuum ball." ”
After Broken Chen finished speaking, he raised his wand and lightly clicked, and a small transparent ball composed of magic power flew out from the tip of the wand and flew straight towards the fireball in the air. As it approached the fireball, the magic ball continued to expand until it was just larger than the fireball, and then the fireball was enveloped in one fell swoop, and the flames were quickly extinguished.
"This is the vacuum ball, it requires very little mana, and you don't need to chant any spells, but you need to have a certain amount of fine control over the mana, so you need to practice more. First of all, you need to release your own magic to form a point, and then let these magic power expand in all directions like a balloon, be sure to pay attention to the thickness evenly, and completely seal, so that the vacuum ball is completed, when the vacuum ball meets the fireball technique, the compatibility between the magic will make it automatically wrap the fireball in. Okay, now let's try to practice. After the demonstration, he snapped his fingers, and a lit candle appeared on each student's desk.
The students began to practice according to the method that Duan Chen said, and everyone was very serious.
Broken Chen wandered among the students, pointing at the students who didn't know what to do, and finally looked up at the empty corner of the classroom, nodded and smiled.
In the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore was using the Magic Crystal Sphere to observe Broken Chen's class, and when he saw Broken Chen's novel teaching method, and found that he was watching, a smile appeared on the old bee's old face: "What an interesting young man." ”
