Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 114

c114 You can also have a sense of participation

Grete’s teaching method is obviously different from all the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers in the past.

Except for the first and second grade students who need to lay the foundation, Grete puts them indoors.

For the rest of the grades, Grete chose to go outdoors. What he wants to teach is not the spells that are read from the book, but to put himself in the shoes of the wizards to master the ability to protect themselves.

This is exactly Grete’s understanding of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Generally speaking, the elite students who graduate from Hogwarts are basically several steps ahead of wild wizards in their ability to cast spells.

However, if they really fight to the death, or put both in the same crisis environment, the Hogwarts graduates can’t even reach half the survival rate of wild wizards.

The difference is that one is the exquisite glass that comes out of the Hogwarts factory that reads from the book. It looks good and is easy to use, but the safety is not guaranteed and it is likely to break at the touch.

As for wild wizards, they are not standard and are all kinds of weird, but in order to survive, they train themselves into earthenware, bluestone, and even steel.

They may not be good-looking, but the will and ability to survive that they have honed through their struggles far exceeds that of orthodox wizards.

This is the wisdom of life. In their hands, regardless of whether it is a black spell or a white spell, as long as it can ensure their own safety and benefit their own survival, all the spells they know can be used at will.

Of course, Grete is not belittling the people of Hogwarts, he himself is a member of Hogwarts.

He said these words to the students in front of him in order to make them forget the framework customized for them when the textbooks were compiled.

To this end, he provided practical course arrangements for all students in the seven grades of the four colleges of Hogwarts.

Afterwards, on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, on the open space opposite Hagrid’s hut, it took a lot of time to create an outdoor practice classroom for Defense Against the Dark Arts, a maze created with the Traceless Extension Charm.

It contains all the natural environments in nature, jungles, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, cities…

These places have one thing in common, that is, traps, mechanisms, and magical creatures can be seen everywhere…

However, unlike the traps and mechanisms with limited lethality, the magical creatures were first brainwashed and controlled by Grete before entering the maze, so that he would not be careless and really send any students to the death.

This space, which was expanded to dozens of kilometers by the traceless extension spell, is divided into low, medium and high according to the difficulty.

The low difficulty is just an ordinary maze, but a little bigger, with only various mechanisms and traps, the purpose is to cultivate the wizard’s sense of crisis.

All students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will get a primary difficulty pass badge that can only be used once from Grete every time they take a class.

They can come here to practice at any time outside of class.

The reason for limiting the number of times is not because of capacity, but simply to ensure the students’ rest time.

After all, the wall outside the maze will display everyone’s clearance record in real time, and the longer you persist, the higher your ranking.

Grete knew how crazy rankings could make people, so in order to ensure that there would be no overnight clearances that would affect the next day’s classes, he chose to turn off the unlimited clearance function.

Every month, the top ten people can also get an additional medium-difficulty pass badge prepared by Grete.

At the medium difficulty, in addition to traps, some “interesting” small monsters are added, such as Boggart, ghouls, slugs, and giant monsters.

And starting from the medium difficulty, Grete’s gifts for them may appear everywhere in the maze, including but not limited to gold galleons, Grete’s potions, interesting magic props…

Of course, in addition to rankings, you can also get medals by accumulating the persistence time in the elementary difficulty clearance to exchange for the qualification of the medium difficulty pass badge.

In addition to these two methods, there is another way to successfully pass the elementary maze.

Those who pass the level automatically obtain the right to pass the medium maze.

As for the high difficulty, Grete is not ready yet. After all, he plans to put some black wizards in the high difficulty.

But in Hogwarts, students are the most important. No matter how much he assured, no one supported his proposal.

Whether it was the far-sighted Dumbledore or Snape, whom Gret trusted the most, they also clearly expressed their opposition.

Gret thought about it and said that Hogwarts was a magic school, not a military school.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was to teach them the ability to protect themselves, not to become independent Aurors.

After a period of time, these students who participated in the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class were completely enlightened.

The boulders falling from the sky can be dealt with by the crushing spell, the floating spell, and the shrinking spell.

If the ground suddenly collapses, you can also think of using the rope generated by the rapid confinement to build a rope bridge for yourself.

If you encounter a trap that cannot be solved, Gret will also teach them targeted spells after the end.

…

After proving that this model can indeed quickly increase students’ self-protection ability, Gret found an opportunity to return to Dawn.

In Moldova, a much larger challenge space was created to hone the combat power of the Dawn members.

Even Grett didn’t know how powerful Dawn would be if one day in the future all the people in Dawn could easily pass through the maze he built.

Besides teaching, Grete did not give up his own research.

As he said when negotiating with Dumbledore, in this society where Muggles as a whole have completely surpassed wizards as a whole, wizards want to fight for their own rights.

The dumbest way is to start a war.

Like wizards and Muggles, their perception of each other has almost become two completely different races.

Under the premise of such racial differences, once the war is started, it will inevitably develop into a smoke-filled war, a life-and-death struggle, and it is bound to eliminate all the living forces of the other side before it can stop.

At that time, there will be no more peaceful integration and coexistence of the two sides.

Therefore, Grete has always attached great importance to the development of public opinion within Dawn. Everyone must take ideological education classes every week.

Let everyone clarify the mission and original intention of Dawn to prevent this big ship from deviating.

In addition to developing combat power and ensuring the purity of thought, Grete attaches the most importance to the research institute that was listed as a key development project at the beginning of Dawn.

Although Grete went to Hogwarts, it did not affect the rest of the people to continue their research.

Grete left them many ideas for research topics, such as extracting anticoagulant and antiviral factors from vampire blood, and studying how to prolong their activity in a non-magical state.

Also, studying the magical properties of Boggart that can see through people’s hearts and trying to extract them can be applied to the human-computer interaction that the Muggle world has always been eager to break through.

In addition, through the induction of magic, the seeds can be made to break through in the direction of high yield and disease resistance. Idealistic magic is much more convenient than the Muggle’s little research in this regard.

…

There are hundreds of research projects left by Grete. Even if the people of Dawn are geniuses, they are enough for them to study for decades.

And among these projects, no matter which one has a result, it can ensure that Dawn will become a welcome existence in any Muggle country.

However, before Grete joins the magic world, they still cannot carry the Dawn sign and interact with Muggles.

For this reason, the Squib comrades in Dawn went to various Muggle families and registered corresponding technology or biological companies, in order to ensure that when Dawn makes a result, it can be applied in the Muggle world immediately.

In the long run, Dawn will become an indispensable part of the Muggle world, and then, we can gradually promote the integration of wizards and Muggles.

As a group of wizards who were excluded from the Muggle society in the past, if they want to integrate into human society again, they must first make these indispensable contributions.

Moreover, Dawn’s actions are not free. Registering a company and guaranteeing interests are to prevent the Muggle world from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

After developing to a certain scale, any party who wants to overturn the table must consider whether they can afford the subsequent turmoil.

Just as the purpose of Dawn’s actions, it does not start a war first, but it is never afraid of war.

As for Grete, in addition to attending classes, he did not waste the rest of his time. He also has his own things to study, and they may be much more important than the projects studied in the Dawn Research Laboratory.

Although, so far, he has not yet made any research results.

But he believes that there must be an endless treasure behind the magic particles.

After all, after comparing the magic particles on Muggles with those on wizards, Gret determined that there was no essential difference between them except for activity.

Just as Grindelwald guessed, perhaps the source of wizards’ magic power may be the entire human group.

According to Gret’s imagination, perhaps the day when he thoroughly studied the magic particles would be the beginning of the whole people mastering magic.

When there was no progress in the research, Gret would also collect research materials from the Dawn Research Institute to help them promote the progress of the project.

This also led to the fact that all teachers and students in the school could only see Gret during classes or faculty meetings, and chat with him by the way.

Of course, Gret never gave up asking others for help, and after reconciling with Dumbledore, even better than before.

He dragged Dumbledore to his laboratory more than once.

But how to say it, Dumbledore’s help was not as much as imagined.

Compared with Grindelwald, who had been thinking for decades, Dumbledore, who had been worrying about the magic world for decades and had not left much time for himself to recharge, could no longer keep up with Gretel’s thinking.

Although he had tried very hard to understand the relationship between Muggles and wizards that Gretel said, he could not accept Gretel’s fantastic speculation.

The ability of wizards is related to Muggles? How is it possible!

When the report written by Grindelwald after the summary was placed in front of him, this old man who was more than a hundred years old seemed to have his three views challenged. For several days, the doubts in his eyes did not dissipate.

In the end, Gretel had no choice but to throw the same three small balls to the White Devil as he did to Grindelwald.

This was also the only way for him to let others observe magic particles.

Although, he didn’t know whether this image projected by will based on his understanding was correct.

But at least when they study, they don’t have to rely on “models” like blind men touching an elephant. It is still more convenient than imagining nothing.

In the end, although Dumbledore didn’t help, he did give Gretel an idea.

As the only Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Gretl can create his own club.

He no longer has to be sneaky when recruiting people like when he was a student, and he has to confuse others’ memories from time to time.

Just like Horace Slughorn, his “Slug Club” really produced many famous wizards.

In addition to being embarrassed, Gretl suddenly realized.

What he is studying now is indeed challenging the authority that has existed in the magic world for many years.

The older generation of wizards find it difficult to accept his theory from the bottom of their hearts.

In such an idealistic magic world, psychological resistance leads to their inability to produce any results in their research, and it is difficult for them to provide any help to Gretl.

Young students are different. Perhaps due to their knowledge, they can’t help much either.

However, they accept new theories to a much greater extent than the older generation of wizards.

The development of a new theory is often not something that can be accomplished by one person. It requires countless latecomers to supplement and break through, and to turn the theory into a system or realize it bit by bit.

In October, when England began to gradually cool down, the ‘Dawn Club’ belonging to Professor Mike Grete was officially established in Hogwarts.

Unlike Dawn’s recruitment concept, Grete did not need them to resonate with Grete in terms of concept this time.

All he needed was the wizards’ talents, which meant that no matter what grade a wizard was in, as long as he could get Grete’s recognition of his talent, he could become a member of Dawn.

Moreover, in order to ensure the independence of Dawn, Grete set a rule at the beginning of Dawn’s establishment that all the results produced by Dawn except for himself, Dawn must pay the corresponding patent fees if it wants to use them.

Dawn is a research institution independent of Dawn and will never become a member of Dawn’s administrative system.

According to Grete’s requirements, all those who want to join Dawn can submit an application to his office before the weekend.

Gretel didn’t work here. His daily life was the same as the past four years. He stayed in the Room of Requirement not far from the principal’s office.

He borrowed the lesson plan for first and second grade students from Professor Snape.

According to Gretel, “You can’t use it anyway, so why not hand over the lesson plan you worked so hard to make to me, so that when I teach them the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, you can also feel a little involved.”

Snape felt the invisible ridicule in the dark.

After being choked, he turned this ridicule into a poisonous tongue in the potion class.

He spit out at Seamus Finnigan, who was exploding again.

“If I were you, I would definitely replace my head with a troll’s head, so that I can save a lot of energy when I come to class.”

After turning around, “And Harry Potter, the quality of the potion prepared this time is good, Gryffindor, plus five points!”

The Slytherins who were in class together were too lazy to sigh.

Anyway, this is the number of times G (Har) Lan (Li) Fen (Bo) Duo (T) has been given extra marks this semester.

Everyone knows that after Ravenclaw was able to dominate the list because of the emergence of Mike Grete.

The legendary savior, Harry Potter, also helped Gryffindor to become Gryffindor starting from this school year.
