Chapter 45 Farming and Professor Oren (Please collect and recommend)
It was like finding a favorite toy, and Kyle had a lot of fun playing in the Room of Requirement.
He stretched out his fingers and waved them gently, and the rain instantly turned into heavy snow. With another wave, it turned into hail the size of eggs.
To be honest, it feels so good to be able to change the surrounding environment just by raising your hand.
After having enough fun, Kyle suddenly remembered that he had some important things to do, so he reluctantly turned the room back to sunny weather.
Forget it, there will be plenty of time in the future.
Kyle squatted on the ground and carefully took out two bean-sized seeds from his pocket, fearing that he would crush them accidentally.
The main reason is that these seeds are too precious, and they are not his, but were picked up from the herbal medicine class.
I really found it.
Coincidentally, in the Herbology class just now, a young Gryffindor wizard successfully answered Professor Sprout's question, and in his excitement he threw the shovel in his hand onto the biting cabbage opposite him.
As expected, the shovel was bitten into a piece of scrap metal on the spot, and the little wizard was deducted one point for this.
The matter would have ended there, but Kyle accidentally discovered that the biting cabbage plant spat out two more seeds not long after spitting out the remains of the shovel.
Professor Sprout was looking for a new shovel at the time and did not see this.
As an excellent Hufflepuff, Kyle certainly had to help his head of house share the burden, so he spontaneously helped her pick it up.
But later he forgot about this matter because he was obsessed with Baixian.
Kyle dug two holes of appropriate size, put the seeds in, and covered them with a thin layer of soil.
After doing all this, Kyle nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. I'll keep it for you first and bring it to Professor Sprout during the next class."
……
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Kyle returned to the common room and then went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with the Hufflepuff new students during the afternoon class.
On the way, everyone was very excited. It was unclear whether it was because they were looking forward to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class or they were simply interested in the legendary Professor Nian.
It could be both.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is on the second floor.
When they pushed open the door and walked in, they found that all the neatly arranged tables had been moved to the wall, making the classroom look very empty.
Professor Oren had arrived and was now standing behind the podium fiddling with a covered cage.
Kyle was a little surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in their class was actually a practical person like Lupin.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
After everyone arrived, Professor Oren looked at everyone and said gently, "Put your books away. We won't need them not only in this class, but in every class in the future."
With just one sentence, Professor Oren won the favor of many young wizards.
Is there anything more enjoyable than not having to bring books to class? If so, it must be not having to bring books to every class.
As it happens, Professor Oren has achieved both of these things.
"This professor must be really capable." A little wizard said immediately: "He will definitely be successfully re-elected!"
"Thank you for your words, Mr. Borg. Unfortunately, I can't give Gryffindor points for this."
Professor Oren smiled and continued, "In my opinion, theoretical knowledge is always the easiest part of this course. You can learn it on your own. There is no need to take up precious class time.
In class, I would rather teach you how to protect yourself when facing danger.
This danger may come from unknown black magic, or it may be some dangerous magical animal. But no matter which one, it may cost you your life. "
Seeing that the atmosphere around them had become more serious, Professor Oren continued, "But it's too early for you to get involved in the dark arts at your age, and the principal won't allow me to do so.
So let’s start with the easy one, Fantastic Beasts.”
After saying that, Professor Oren gently pushed the cage, and suddenly there was a dull "buzzing" sound from inside. The cage cover was also shaken left and right, and it seemed that it would fall off at any time.
Some of the little wizards who were standing closer to the front were so scared that they stepped back one after another.
"Don't worry. Although this little guy is dangerous, you won't be hurt as long as I'm here." Professor Oren said seriously, "I only ask you to stay calm and remember every word I say next."
After saying that, Oren lifted the cloth cover, revealing the contents of the cage.
...a blue insect, about an inch in size, and the buzzing sound just now was the sound of its flapping wings.
But unlike other insects, its wings are grown on the top of its head. When it flies, it is like wearing a bamboo dragonfly, and its body also turns with it.
Looks pretty cute.
Katie Bell couldn't help but sneered and said, "Professor, it doesn't look as dangerous as you said."
In her opinion, what Professor Oren said just now was obviously exaggerated. She didn't even need a wand to kill such a tiny creature. She could kill him with just a slap. How could he be dangerous?
"Really? I hope you can still be so confident later, Miss Bell." Professor Oren smiled and asked, "So, does anyone know what it is? The first one to tell you can get five points for your college."
In the crowd, Mikel suddenly heard a faint voice, which seemed to be a name.
Under the temptation of extra points, he didn't think twice and blurted out: "Billywig worm!"
"Excellent, Mr. Mikel," said Professor Oren happily. "Five points for Hufflepuff!"
"That's right, Billywig, a magical animal of level XXX." Professor Oren explained, "Look carefully, there is a thin stinger at the bottom of its body. Anyone stung by Billywig will feel dizzy and then will float up.
If you get stung too many times, you may even float in the air uncontrollably for days at a time."
Professor Oren turned his gaze to Katie Bell: "Now, do you still think it's not dangerous?"
Katie Bell turned her head away and said nothing, but judging by her expression, she didn't seem very convinced.
"Professor..." At this time, a little wizard asked eagerly: "So, in this class, we are going to deal with this Billywig worm?"
"Not entirely correct." Professor Oren shook his head and said, "Before that, you must first learn the spell to deal with it. Only when I am sure there is no problem will we conduct actual combat."

Chapter 46 Billywig Worm (Please collect and recommend)
“The spell to deal with the Billywig worm is very simple, but it requires you to concentrate. When reciting the spell, you must concentrate on your goal and not be negligent.
You know, Billywig flies very fast, and it won't give you a second chance to cast a spell."
After Professor Oren finished carefully explaining the points that needed attention, he continued, "Let's practice the spell without using the wands. Please repeat after me - relax your strength and release your energy!"
"The strength is loosening!" the little wizards said in unison.
"Very good." Professor Oren said with satisfaction: "The next step is to test the effectiveness of your spell."
He asked the whole class to line up and come forward one by one to cast a spell on the Billywig worm in the cage.
The first one is Kanna.
She was originally in the middle of the team, but was soon surrounded by Gryffindor fans and moved here.
Ever since Professor Oren called out their name, these little lions have been wanting to see what is so special about this little witch that she could conquer Snape.
"Brave girl." Professor Oren smiled and said, "I remember your name is Kanna, right?"
"Yes, Professor."
After the experience of the first two times, Kanna is now in much better condition than before.
Although she was still nervous, at least she could communicate normally now, and the first thing she thought of was to answer the professor's questions instead of turning around and running.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a simple spell." Professor Oren said patiently: "Remember what I just said, concentrate, you can do it, believe in yourself."
Kanna took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and thrust her wand out with all her strength.
"Strength, strength, release!"
"Swish!" A sound of air cutting was heard in the air.
Professor Oren at the side subconsciously took a small step back.
To be fair, with this force, if you're close enough, you don't even need any spells, you can just stab the Billywig worm to death.
Fortunately, the result is good.
As the spell ended, the Billywig worm in the cage fell to the ground.
"Not bad, one point for Hufflepuff," Professor Oren said loudly, pulling out a second cage.
Yesterday, because he had no experience, he brought three Billywig worms with him when he taught Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
I thought it was enough, but it turned out to be totally insufficient. Sometimes the third one fell down before the first one recovered.
And every time this happened, the young wizards from the two academies would stare at him, and the scene was extremely awkward.
In order to prevent similar situations from happening again, he brought ten of them here today, which was definitely enough.
"It's your turn next, Santos."
Santos, whose name was called, hurried forward and began to chant the spell.
"The strength is loose and the energy is drained..."
Nothing happened, the Billywig worm in the cage was still spinning happily.
"Relax, don't be so nervous." Professor Oren walked up to him and said softly, "Make sure you recite the spell clearly. The last note you pronounced was too soft. Let's try again."
Santos nodded and held out his wand again.
"The strength is relaxed and the strength is released!"
This time it worked.
"Very good, next one..." Professor Oren changed another cage.
The success of two people in a row gave the others a lot of confidence, and they couldn't wait to give it a try.
However, also because of being too confident, some people completely forgot what Professor Oren had said before, and when it was their turn, they didn't even look at the cage, but directly recited the spell loudly into it.
The result of doing this was that the Billywig worm was not harmed, but the cage fell apart.
Therefore, Professor Oren had to be extremely alert later on to ensure that he could restore the cages to their original state as soon as possible.
But he soon realized that he had oversimplified things.
