Chapter 19: You're Amazing, You're High!
The evaluation of magical school education, led by the International Confederation of Wizards' Education, is based on each school's faculty, teaching standards, output, and...... Graduate quality.
Hogwarts is not a problem in terms of funding, after all, there are two major funding funds from the British Ministry of Magic and the school board, but the standard of teaching is about to draw a big question mark.
That's right, there are history-level Transfiguration professors, former dueling champions Charms teachers, and herbalists on campus......
The advantages are outstanding, but the shortcomings are even more prominent:
Like a liar's divination teacher; a professor of the history of magic to be retired, who has become a ghost and is to be squeezed; A Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who changes every year.
In particular, Defense Against the Dark Arts, in the major magic schools and wizard talent recruitment markets, has been circulating this sentence:
There are only two Defence Against the Dark Arts positions in the world: one at Hogwarts and one with the other.
Defense Against the Dark Arts in other schools is a popular and well-paid position, and it is very competitive, and I want to break my head.
But with the addition of the Hogwarts qualifier, it becomes a sinkhole post, and there is no one!
After all, in other schools, you can be fired at best, and you may be killed at Hogwarts.
Wizards with real talent will not go to Hogwarts to apply, and the students' level of defense against the dark arts, as you can imagine, is far behind other schools.
With such a team of teachers, no matter how good a student is, he or she has to learn nothing, and it is outrageous that the educational evaluation ranking can be high!
Not to mention the fact that the textbooks are so old that they don't update their editions or correct errors, and ghosts like Professor Binns even use textbooks from the era before his death......
Hogwarts was able to rank seventh in the education evaluation, probably because of the name of the Millennium School and the face of the president of Dumbledore's Association.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the quick knife.
The red-nosed Fosco, after being so angry with Rove that he fainted, the old headmaster Evra shouted angrily:
"Has Hogwarts fallen to this point?!"
"When I was in office, I was still ranked first." Delis Devonte pushed her glasses and sighed, "The whole world was proud of Hogwarts back then, look at it now!"
Alas, what a decline. ”
"What level is Hogwarts now, there are only a few professors, you Quirrell or something are teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, can he teach? Can't teach! Eupratia Moore said angrily:
"It's going to be lower than Beauxbatons and then below Durmstrang...... It's not going to be low...... Don't even have a face! ”
"Who is the greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts, do you need to tell me?" Phineas Black sneered:
"Whoever dares to nominate Dumbledore in the future and say that his greatness is above mine, I will put the ranking on his face."
"Phineas ......," Amanddo Duppet reminded, "Hogwarts started to fall out of the top five from you. ”
"What do you mean! Amando, are you that clean? Phineas sneered:
"The secret room attack happened when you were in office, which caused the school to almost close, and the mysterious person was also cultivated when you were the principal......"
All the old headmasters, male and female, quarreled with each other, accusing each other of being responsible for the decline of Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat is stupid, why did it start a fight in a good manner? Rove is definitely a scourge, he needs to be expelled!
Rove didn't know what the Sorting Hat was thinking, he had hidden his fame and fame, and he was silently away from the hustle and bustle of the principals.
The boy's gaze was drawn to the only creature in the room, a tall gilded perch, and on a tall gilded perch, stood a phoenix, the size of a swan, with bright red and gold feathers dazzling.
Rove recognized the strange magical creature at a glance, and he walked over and slowly reached out to touch Fawkes's beautiful tail feathers, but it turned its head and stared at the boy with sharp eyes.
It seems that as long as Rove dares to touch it, he will peck him blind.
Don't touch it, do you?
You're amazing, you're high!
Rove knew that Phoenix liked to eat seafood, and he took out a few pieces of nudibranchs from the pocket in the middle of his robe.
The nudibranch, not a rabbit or a squid, but a snail mollusk whose shell has degenerated into an inner shell with a thin transparent shell skin on the back, which is white and has a pearly luster.
Fawkes was instantly attracted by the scent, and its wings fluttered slightly, leaving the branch where it was perched and landing on Rove's shoulder.
Rov handed the nudibranch, pointed to the wind and lightning, and touched Fawkes's ass with lightning speed.
Ah~ It's so elastic and firm.
In the boy's brain, there was a sudden "ding" sound.
[Dumbledore's Guardian Phoenix is detected, triggering side quest 1:
Capture Fawkes, Reward:
【Tears of Purity】
Your tears will have the magical effect of phoenix tears and can heal injuries.
Side Mission 2:
Complete 100% domestication of Fawkes, rewarding Magic:
【Phoenix Nirvana】
After taking fatal damage, it can be reborn as a baby in the flames.
(Mission not completed)]
Really...... The Minotaur system has been triggered again, and if it was a wild phoenix, it probably wouldn't give such a rich reward, at most a few tail feathers.
But Fox has an owner, and it's different in an instant.
But then again, it's not just the system that's hungry, but Rove is also hungry for Fox's body.
Among all the fantastic beasts, the phoenix is definitely the existence of the top 1 on the pet list.
They have powerful flames; Magical singing can uplift people and banish fear; Tears have healing properties...... Even an immortal body, at a critical moment, it can help block the "bullet" and effectively prevent the brain from opening up!
If Rove can domesticate a phoenix and get the magic [Phoenix Nirvana], he can directly pick up Avada with his face to gnaw on a big melon in the future, and he can be reborn anyway.
So the question is, where can such a good pet go to adopt?
The answer is...... Look at the face!
There has never been a phoenix that took the initiative to recognize the Lord, and there was no phoenix that was forced to be tamed by a wizard.
The phoenix is a magical creature that is elegant and powerful, and will not be forced to submit to the power of any wizard, they only depend on fate...... When fate arrives, there is.
In other words, the phoenix pays more attention to the drama of "when the tiger's body is shaken, bow to it", so that now in the Nuoda magic world, there are only two phoenixes who recognize the master:
a mascot named Spark, which became the mascot of New Zealand's Quidditch team, the Mottola Macaw; The other is Dumbledore's Fawkes.
Seeing the magic reward of "Phoenix Nirvana" given by the system, Rove could only stare dryly now, and there was nothing he could do.
But if there is no phoenix to vote, it doesn't mean that you can't get along first, and after Dumbledore dies, we can take over Fox as "honest people".
Or does it want to lay eggs on its own...... Rove can be close to the water and help him raise his children.
Rove took out his treasured inventory and fed it to Fawkes.
Just when he used eighteen kinds of martial arts to "please" the old phoenix, a hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and the man said gently:
"It's the first time I've seen Fawkes eat food from strangers, and it seems like he likes you......"
Dumbledore stood beside Rove at some point, put his arm around the young man's shoulder, sniffled, and sniffed, "It smells so good." ”
Rove raised his head, raised the sea hare in his hand, and smiled at the old man:
"This is a full-seeded sea rabbit from the Mediterranean, which is farmed only with red algae, giving it a rosy red body and a fragrant taste."
If it weren't for the food being too tasty, Fox wouldn't have been able to let Rove touch it easily!
"Of course, it's not the best food." The boy sighed:
"I know an ingredient, the king squid of the North Sea, which can only be caught in the deep sea, and the taste is not comparable to that of ordinary squid.
It's also very simple, with a special butter crab roe sauce, a dash of Greek ultra-pure olive oil, white wine from Bordeaux, and a special Italian twist. ”
"I have the ingredients, and I have made them a few times, and the taste is called an authentic ......"
Fawkes suddenly felt that the sea hare in its mouth was tasteless, it stared at Rove, suddenly turned and lowered its head, picked up a few fallen phoenix tail feathers from the nest, and put them in Rove's hands.
"Fawkes wants to trade its feathers for you to make a king squid to eat." Dumbledore laughed dumbly.
"A few tail feathers are not enough, how high is the cost of the king squid alone?" Rove sighed and said, "However, I'll lose some money just to make Fox your friend!"
Fox, you can always come to me next time you want to eat. ”
Rove glanced at Fawkes's shiny fur, since he couldn't get Fawkes's body for the time being, he was going to bald the old phoenix first.
