Just remembering these things had already made his mind a mess.
Plus, it's even more complicated to arrange them correctly into those special symbols.
It is obviously the same magic rune, but the way of writing is very different depending on the meaning.
After half a class, he felt like he had remembered nothing, or rather, the things he had remembered before were completely forgotten after a few minutes.
Sure enough, there is a reason why this course has so few students.
Too complicated...
After waiting for a long time, the get out of class was over. When he raised his head from "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Rune", his face was full of confusion, as if asking... Who am I, where am I, what did I just see?
Of course, the same is true for others.
"That's about it for its application in alchemy."
On the podium, Professor Babuling smiled and said, "But normally, in our class, we don't need to remember the order and writing method. We just need to understand the meaning of each magic word.
This will make it much easier for you.”
The classroom was silent. Apparently, the students' understanding of "simple" was somewhat different from that of the professor.
Just as everyone quietly packed up their things and prepared to leave the classroom, Professor Babuling suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
She said casually, "If you feel that this course is not suitable for you, you can also go to your respective deans to apply for a course change... Before October, I will agree."
Some people looked happy, then suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.
After leaving the classroom, Kyle looked at Connor and Qiu and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want to change classes?"
"Of course not." Kanna said without hesitation.
"That's right. Why do we need to change courses?" Qiu said with a smile, "Although it's a little difficult, Magic Rune is really interesting. No wonder Cedric strongly recommended this course to me, and..."
She looked at Kyle and Connor, raised her eyebrows and said, "I am a Ravenclaw, I can't lose to you Hufflepuffs."
"Hey, school attack, huh!" Kyle said unhappily.
"Of course not." Qiu said with a smile: "What I mean is that Ravenclaw is never afraid of knowledge. The more complicated the content, the more interested we are."
"That's true..." Kyle shrugged.
Of those sixteen people, half were Ravenclaws.
"But I always feel like there's something wrong with Professor Babuling."
Connor said thoughtfully, “For other courses, the first class is always the easiest, but for her, it’s the other way around.
I have read "Ancient Magical Writing Easy" before, and the question about magic writing is the last thing you need to learn, and it is only mentioned briefly. "
"That's right..." Qiu nodded, "Normal ancient runes are not that difficult at all. And Professor Babel's last sentence... I always feel like she really wants students to change classes."
"But, there are already very few people choosing this course."
“It’s just that we feel it’s too little.”
Kyle whispered, "Don't forget what she said before class...there were rarely more than ten people in that classroom."
"Maybe we can ask Cedric and Fred. Maybe they had the same experience as us when they first took the ancient runes class."

Chapter 286 Riddle's Second Request
"What's the content of the first ancient runes lesson?"
The next morning, at the dining table in the auditorium, Cedric thought for a moment and then said, "I remember it was quite difficult... No, I should say that the most difficult class of the entire school year was the first one."
"Professor Babuling, didn't you talk about the application of magic words in alchemy..." Qiu asked with a strange expression, "and the different ways of writing that represent different meanings."
But to her surprise, Cedric immediately shook his head and said, "No... that's something that needs to be learned in the fifth grade, how can it be taught in the third grade?"
"That you……"
"Professor Babeling told us about the evolution of runes... and what they originally looked like."
Cedric showed a very painful expression, "You definitely can't imagine how complicated those runes were before they were simplified... To be honest, that was the first time I felt like I didn't remember anything in class."
"That's right." Fred and George beside them nodded in unison.
"It was a nightmare."
"I felt like a stunted giant..."
Qiu looked at the three people with empathy. She had experienced the same feeling not long ago.
At this time, Kyle suddenly asked: "How many of you chose that course at that time?"
"About a dozen or so, I forgot the exact number."
Cedric thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't matter, because Professor Babeling said that if you don't want to take ancient runes, you can change classes.
So by the second week of class, there were only nine people left in the classroom.”
"Almost seven."
Fred said, "When we got to Professor McGonagall's office, we hesitated..."
"For the future of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, I decided to attend one more class." George said with a smile.
"It's a good thing we thought so..."
"Because the content of the second class is normal. Although it is still difficult... at least we can understand it."
"Isn't that the same for you?" Cedric asked.
"Except for the different contents, everything else is similar, including the fact that you can change classes." Qiu sighed and said, "But I don't understand why Professor Babu Ling did this."
"I don't know..." Fred thought for a moment. "Although some people say that Professor Babel wants to have students from grades three to seven take classes together and deliberately reduce the number of students in each grade, this is obviously impossible."
"Everyone is learning different things, so it's impossible to teach them together." George said, "Percy is currently reading Advanced Rune Translation, and we are still reading Simple Introduction to Ancient Rune."
"Maybe the first class will be Professor Babeling's test."
Cedric said: "Learning magic runes is destined to be a boring and tedious process, and you must have enough patience to persevere.
She probably wants to use this method to eliminate those who are not suitable, so as not to waste their time. "
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice and continued, "We know very little about Professor Babling. After all, apart from classes and various holiday banquets, she rarely shows up. She has never even watched a Quidditch match."
In the following period of time, several people began to discuss how difficult magic words were, but how interesting it was after learning them...
Kyle listened nearby, trying his best to act like them and not seem too proud.
This is when the benefit of having a personal tutor comes into play. Riddle is patient, capable, and has a very comprehensive understanding of magic runes.
With his help, Kyle avoided many detours and learned very efficiently.
I didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now it's different... The problems Cedric and the others encountered were simple enough for Kyle.
In other words, Riddle's diary is Voldemort's study notes.
This notebook has become a bit of a problem recently. Not only does it require careful identification when using it, but it also broke down a few days ago and I don’t know when it will be restored.
Thinking of this, Kyle quickly finished his breakfast and went to the Room of Requirement as usual. He greeted Riddle in the box and asked about his situation with concern.
He had been doing this for the past few days, but Riddle never responded.
Kyle didn't actually have much hope today. He wrote a sentence out of habit and prepared to close the diary.
But surprisingly, Riddle did not continue to play dead and responded to him soon.
[I'm sorry... When you showed me the newspaper that day, the magic of the diary seemed to have suddenly run out.]
Kyle picked up the quill with some surprise.
"Are you all right, Tom? I was worried about you."
[I guess so. Fortunately, you have been writing to me with dragon blood recently.]
[What are we going to learn today? I have wasted so much time, I am a little impatient. ]
Neither Kell's story nor the news that Voldemort died as a baby seemed to have any effect on Riddle.
He didn't even ask anything else.
It’s as if Voldemort is just an insignificant passerby, and it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies.
But since Riddle said so, Kyle couldn't let him down.
"Then continue to learn magic runes."
[That's my guess. You really like magic words.]
……
But this time I didn't study for long.
Because he had to go to class soon, Kyle had to leave at 8:50.
【Time always goes by so fast. 】
Before closing the diary, Riddle made one more request.
[If possible, could you bring some animals next time? ]
"Animals?" Kyle frowned slightly and wrote, "Do you still need to eat? I can get the cooked food directly from the kitchen."
“No, I don’t need to eat. I just love Fantastic Beasts, I did when I was in school, so I want to see them again.”
[It doesn't need to be rare, a fairy or a Bowtruckle will do, they are easy to find near the Forbidden Forest. ]
Kyle hesitated, "But Tom, can you see them?"
[Of course, you just put them in the diary and I can see them. ]
"Well... okay, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest on the weekend."
