Chapter 432: Showdown
This is the end of the night's entanglement.
Hermione lived a very fulfilling life during the day, and in addition to studying the knowledge taught by the professors during the day, she also had to go to Ravenclaw to memorize magic at night.
According to Luke's knowledge, Hermione gained a lot, but there was a lot of knowledge in it that was not enough for outsiders. After all, although wizards do not deliberately pursue mystery, there is no reason that the more mysterious they are, the stronger their abilities.
But even if you do it for a lifetime, you can't make any mistakes.
"But...... Everyone seems to be busy. I'm a little bit idle......
Luke pouted helplessly. Half of the semester has passed, and with the exception of Luke and a few students, the vast majority of students are busy with their own business, and they are getting busier.
Harry was summoned back and forth by the Quidditch team and the professors all day long, and his whole body was like a spinning top, and anyone who saw it had to put some pressure on him, but in the end it was only he who was dizzy.
That's where the frustration comes in.
While people like Harry and Hermione are barely the exception, in fact the vast majority of others are struggling enough to cope with exams alone.
Of course, there must be some people who not only have no problem coping with the exam, but also have the leisure to play around. Unfortunately, these people are often not close to Luke.
The normal teaching pace of Hogwarts is really nothing for those students who have a good foundation, that is, who have been home-educated before.
They often only need the teacher to click on the learning progress of the lower grades to help them recall the things they have learned at home. There are actually not many students with such family backgrounds who play with Luke. Draco Malfoy is an example.
However, there are no students from this kind of family who play with Luke, but it is still very limited.
When they really step into Luke's circle, they will find that to have a good relationship with Luke, you can't rely on eating, drinking, and having fun, you have to show your worth. It's not the value of the family behind it, but the value of oneself.
Pansy Perkins hasn't really made it to Luke's circle of friends. The relationship between him and her was at best a nodding acquaintance. Not really a friend.
Pansy wants to fit in, but she can't figure out where she is, and after trying to catch up with these people in the circle for a while, she gets tired and gives up chasing them.
That's right. This circle is too rolly.
Draco, like Harry, also has to grasp both learning and sports, and both hands must be hard, and what he pursues is to blossom in two. Draco still had an easier time studying than Harry, though. So Draco wasn't just reviewing his past homework and preparing for the lessons in his textbooks, he was even learning some management and business knowledge under Luke's guidance.
Luke didn't really know much about these things. But if there is a problem, Luke will go directly to Gemma. After being trained by Raymond and exposed to Muggle business philosophy, Gemma can already be regarded as the first person in the wizarding world to manage and manage after all these years.
The existing business ecology of the wizarding world is a bit too primitive for the knowledge Gemma has learned. Of course, there is a reason why it can be kept so primitive. For example, if you really provoke the other party in a business competition.
Naturally, there are things like poisoning, pulling out wires, and stealing official seals in the Muggle world. But the wizarding world is really going to have a 1v1 battle with you. It's really going to be a wizard duel.
Della studied this knowledge that was very different from what he had learned in the past, and the whole person was both painful and happy. Pain is pain in this seems to be a new body of knowledge, and if you want to learn, you have to throw all the things you have learned before into the garbage.
The same is true of the source of happiness. A new kind of knowledge is an unmissable existence for anyone who pursues something.
But this kind
Pain and pleasure have nothing to do with Luke anymore.
Luke is not a fool, and he can barely be considered a genius, but Luke will not allow himself to be a true all-rounder. It takes too much time and effort for a person to be fully refined. Although there is a lot to get, it is also a little disproportionate to the pay. After all, except for magic, which can learn quickly by opening and hanging, Luke has to learn everything else step by step. The system won't help.
In a sense, the system itself is not designed to produce a well-versed all-rounder.
In addition to refining himself in his own strength, Luke is more about layout, planning and poaching.
During these days, Luke often communicates with Fleur.
In the case that Fleur's attitude of resisting him is not very firm in itself, Fleur has been almost attacked by Luke. It's not that he has become a supporter of Luke now, but he has a certain yearning for the blueprint that Luke has constructed.
There is always a lack in people's hearts. Even with a golden spoon in his mouth, Draco, who grew up under the care of his parents, had some dissatisfaction with the world and the existing order. Not to mention Hibiscus?
Fleur's family situation is not bad, but compared to Draco, it really can't be compared.
So Fleur soon agreed more and more with Luke's ideas under Luke's superb words and strong self-confidence.
The existing order is closed, conservative, and behind the times. The future they want to create is open, fluid, in line with the requirements of the times, and has a more stable existence.
Truth be told, Luke's rhetoric doesn't work for everyone. But for the vast majority of people, this set of statements always evokes righteous indignation.
It's not just about how you speak, it's about who speaks and who you're persuaded.
Therefore, Luke is very idle, because he is so idle every day that he can only talk to beautiful women. And as the beauty is gradually being raided, Luke is happy, but there is nothing to do.
Sounds like a scumbag......
And today, as Luke walked normally to a corner of Hogwarts, he vaguely felt a faint fluctuation of magical power.
Such fluctuations are fleeting, and if you change people, you probably think that it is directly your own illusion and mistaken.
But Luke is a suspicious man. Faced with such a situation, he didn't have the idea of letting go at all, but as if he had received an invitation, he followed the magic fluctuations that appeared at this time.
Luke showed no signs of panic on the path he was following, and walked around as if he had been invited by a friend.
Soon, Luke was in a rather remote corner of Hogwarts Castle.
Because there is basically no connection to all the normal classrooms, and there is no interesting place around. It is neither close to the Quidditch pitch nor to the Black Lagoon, and the only thing that can be seen from the windows here is the Forbidden Forest. However, the Forbidden Forest can be seen everywhere, and the location of the Forbidden Forest observed here is not a special place.
All in all, this place is unremarkable, and the surroundings are not connected to any places with a lot of topicality, and the whole looks like an ordinary and boring location. Judging from the map of the living spots, no one will pass by this place for almost a whole day, and even if they do, they will leave quickly and will not stop here.
In fact, as long as the castle is large enough, the number of such locations is not rare in nature. It's just that as a school, Hogwarts as a whole is still dominated by an active, relaxed and safe tone. This main role is obviously used as a place for the fight, and is not respected by the young wizards.
After all, a young wizard of this age, if there is something unpleasant to the eye, he will open his mouth on the spot, and then the curtain of a fierce hand-to-hand combat will be opened. For junior wizards, the efficiency of spells to deal damage to the other side is really poor.
There's no comparison to something as simple and crude as a fist that doesn't have much trouble to prepare.
Therefore, the junior wizards, when they were anxious, their first reaction was to roll up their sleeves and fight head-on.
And a wizard of Luke's rank can already do a spell to take people's lives. At this stage, it would be unwise for a wizard to want hand-to-hand combat. After all, everyone is absolutely super touch in attack power, and the defense power is quite humorous.
Even if you put on those wizard robes made of dragon skin, they are nothing more than a layer of paper folded in half.
As Luke walked here, the looming mana ripples in the state were calm. Luke surveyed his surroundings and determined that it was a very good position to fight.
"You can't wait? I was going to see how long you can endure it. After all, if you endure it any longer, I will have to take the initiative to deal with you."
Luke looked at an empty corner and said these poignant words with a gentle expression.
"Hum ......"
After a cold snort, in that corner, someone showed his figure.
"Have you identified me?"
The man was wrapped in a black cloak, and his voice was low and hoarse. Underneath the cloak was a tight-fitting suit. Although for wizards, clothing tends not to affect their battles on a large scale.
But for the convenience of dodging, there will still be many wizards who will wear smart shortfights when fighting.
Because when you really fight, no one wants to lose, and if you lose, your life is often taken away.
"Professor Jenkins. I'm not sure your real name, but that's who you are now."
Luke didn't wait for the other to ask a question before he replied, "Don't you feel it yourself? Professor Jenkins' level is a little too high. This candidate is actually very interesting. After all, the two students you brought with you are not very familiar with Professor Jenkins. However, the most obvious flaw is. Your course is really good."
After a moment of silence, the black cloak on the other side defended, "Jenkins himself is not a low level as a professor at Beauxbatons. This can be attested to by Fleur Delacour and Chrissy Lystrange. My teaching style is very similar to the other one, and Jenkins has just become a professor of herbal medicine this year. So even if they behave a little strange after coming here, they shouldn't be suspected by the two of them."
After all, a professor must have something at the bottom of his own box. After entering Hogwarts, these things naturally had to be taken out to shock their new colleagues.
Show off your muscles, and save others from looking down on you, which is completely understandable.
"But the problem is that you're saying it so well. It's a little too good."
Luke began, "Your first public lecture turned the perception of a common herb upside down. You don't know these professors. Although there are no hard and fast requirements, as long as there are any results in their own research, they will definitely publish the paper as soon as possible."
"But after waiting so long, I still haven't seen the paper on the Soul Attraction Flower."
Luke looked at the other party, although he couldn't see the other party's face, but the other party's emotional dust had clearly shown the other party's chagrin.
"Professor Jenkins is a very philanthropist. Not to mention this kind of subversive paper, even if it is the kind of paper that picks up people's teeth, he feels that he will not miss it if he can send it. After all, as a young professor. In the absence of any great hope for the improvement of his strength, he naturally hopes that he can make a considerable breakthrough in theory."
"After all, academic status is also status."
After hearing Luke's words, the black cloak snorted coldly again, "I was indeed careless. I only understand the other person's personality and small habits in some aspects, and this behavior pattern is really ignored."
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
It's as if when someone discovers something strange, their first reaction is to make a short video and post it on the Internet. Self-media people are like this. A lot of people don't understand.
So, after all, people are still creatures living in their comfort zone. Getting used to this kind of thing is hard to learn, and even harder to change.
Luke looked at the black cloak and couldn't help but smile even brighter.
Obviously, he said that he was careless, but he couldn't hear the slightest annoyance in his tone, and some of them were just flat. But in terms of emotional dust, this person has changed his whole body into a melancholy blue.
It can only be said that the heart and mouth are inconsistent.
"So, did you have something to say about me here?"
Luke curled the smile on his face.
There was no hostility towards him. But it doesn't work out well for him. In any case, it is a fact that the other party attacked him before.
So......
"Let's have a showdown, tell me who you are, and what you want to do."
