The start of school is nothing new to Harry, but on September 1st this year, he will no longer take the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts Castle, but will take a new 1990 Boeing 777 to the mountain wilderness-

Durmstrang Special Military School for Magical War.

Compared to Hogwarts, Durmstrang is one of the three major schools in Europe with the most 'strict' school rules, and the paramilitary management has made it much less casual, but there is such a thing as military discipline corruption everywhere, even in military schools like Durmstrang.

The school, founded by the legendary Bulgarian witch Nerida Vokanova, has gone through quite a few ups and downs, the first of which is that several of Durmstrang's principals are ultra-hawkish and extremely radical 'terrorists', although they are not terrorists themselves, but because their own bottom line is too low, what they do is not fundamentally different from that of terrorists.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, or to have the hardest and strongest fists, they allowed the use of black magic and all kinds of evil crookedness, this kind of side-by-side means did make Durmstrang in wizard duels, martial arts has achieved a lot of achievements, but also because of their methods, Durmstrang's reputation was once extremely poor.

Fortunately, peace has been the norm in the wizarding world for centuries, and unlike the Muggle world, which experienced World War I and World War II, wars in the wizarding world are difficult to fight after the end of the Abyss War a thousand years ago, especially wars that have caused large-scale impact.

After all, if the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe is also considered to be the European zone, the wizards produced by the Soviet Union with the most cards here are the fighting national wizards who can fight in Quack, then they are next to the east. There is still a people who have been fighting for thousands of years, and finally this group of guys does not plan to expand their territory, and you still dare to set off artillery in the house? Put it in case you arouse people's interest and throw shells into your yard. Blowing up a boundary monument from ancient times is a big deal.

Under the influence of this peaceful environment, the 'second half of the life' of Durmstrang School is less of the extremists who jump up and down, and although terrorism is no longer prevalent here, the style of the school is somewhat different.

However, after Grindelwald, known as the 'most dangerous wizard of the twentieth century', it has been rumored that darkness and terror will once again loom over the school, and that Durmstrang's dark age is about to return.

The Witches want Durmstrang to be a black nest for their henchmen, and every wizard who enters will be brainwashed by magic and become one of their fanatics, following them to plague the world and so on.

But these things only circulate in other European magical countries that are not ruled by the Umnus, and it is difficult to find out what the truth is without going there.

But as far as Harry himself was concerned, he didn't believe it, even if he hadn't visited Newmengard before, he wouldn't believe such ridiculous rumors.

After all—

Durmstrang even made a special plane, and you Hogwarts still use an old steam train from hundreds of years ago.

Although the magic magnetic field will have an impact on electronic technology equipment, it is not so big that it will cause a plane crash and death for a wizard to take a flight of only a few hours at most, unless some fool casts a spell on the plane, uses a spell to mess with Biu, etc., but doing so will be directly arrested for the crime of endangering public safety, fined and detained, and sent to Newmengard as a consumable for human experimentation.

What is keeping up with the times, that's the simplest way to keep up with the times.

However, it wasn't really for anything else, but Durmstrang's enrollment was much more relaxed, especially for Muggle-born wizards, Durmstrang recruited all non-Squib spellcasters, and the threshold was low enough to overwhelm most small magical educational institutions.

For example, the Arkham clown Harry met in the duel match before, his alma mater was forced to close down because of Durmstran's relaxed admissions threshold, and all student sources were drained.

Durmstrang's change began fifteen years ago, and for Hogwarts, which was holding on to its own one-third of an acre and not wanting to make progress, the school of witchcraft and wizardry had been reborn.

The current Durmstrang is definitely not the Durmstrang he once was, and where he is going now, Harry, who has not experienced it himself, can't guess too much.

But there are some clues that can still be read from this admission letter.

Simply put, Durmstrang and Hogwarts have very different lists of courses and titles.

The curriculum at Hogwarts is fixed, and only after the third year can students begin to choose elective courses, and before that, the seven courses of Charms, Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, and Astronomy are all taught at Hogwarts.

But Durmstrang is different, and it is more like a modern university that has completed its educational reform.

A military school that is not just a military school for training warriors and soldiers, but a comprehensive university that covers all aspects of the magical world.

In addition to the Charms class, which is a compulsory subject, the rest of Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, etc. exist as elective subjects, Grindelwald realized early on that wizards and wizards are different, and everyone's talents and talents are also different, and now the world needs more wizards who are not 'all-in-one' wizards, but 'specialized and refined' wizards.

There are very few elite wizards who can do everything and fine, and the general public is the mainstream of the wizarding world.

It would be worse than killing someone who had no talent for potions to learn potions, and the teacher was uncomfortable with his grades, and he himself was uncomfortable with his studies, but even if he was a potions idiot, maybe he would have different interests and talents in other subjects, and instead of being tormented in what he was not good at, it would be better to dig into the one he was best at.

Of course, it's not that there is no rice bucket that doesn't do anything, the first place in dry rice, but even if it is a rice bucket, he has one point that is different from ordinary people - he is a wizard, he has magic in his body, even if the brain is not fully developed, and the cerebellum is not developed at all, as long as he has magic in his body, then he can still contribute.

Muggles have natural high-energy storage crystals, while the wizarding world does not have such a source of magic that can be reused, and there are indeed a lot of reserves of magic ores in nature, and there are also supplies from the Abyssal 'Quarry', but as the possibility of the outbreak of the Abyss War continues to increase, a large part of these resources will be withheld as a reserve for future wars.

As a result, the profession of 'Meat Man' appeared, and Durmstrang tailor-made a set of professional courses for these Meat Men to enable them to enter the major alchemy workshops or other magic processing institutions as 'supplies' for sustainable consumption after graduation.

Just looking at the rigorous, precise course menu, Harry already tasted it.

"Grindelwald is really serious about what he does. But what should I take? ”

His gaze stayed on a line of very interesting words, and then he lightly drew a tick at the end, "A wizard who doesn't know how to fight guns is definitely not a good wizard, right?" ”
