Chapter 378 The Dark Lord's Sneer
Dumbledore came to the playground and saw Luke leading the students in practicing with various firearms.
Seeing the old principal, Luke did not stop teaching.
"This class is mainly to familiarize everyone with the mainstream firearms in the Muggle world."
"You know, the casting distance of a wand is much lower than that of any Muggle gun."
"And you can't keep your defensive spells on all the time."
Some students raised questions.
"Professor, if going far away doesn't work, what if we get closer?"
Luke raised an eyebrow.
"Do you know how far it is? Get closer? Let's take a look at the 1130 artillery..."
Then Luke pulled out the... rescue Gatling gun...
He personally picked up the minigun and started shooting at the target.
Now the students shut up.
Luke then gave the students a lesson.
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of Muggles. Although they can't use magic, they have science."
"In the universe, the power of technology is far more than that..."
"You can imagine that the enemy is outside the atmosphere and can flatten an entire city with just one artillery shell."
"If the Dark Lord is on the Muggle blacklist, he won't be able to get a full night's sleep."
"Every once in a while he has to get up and check if there are any satellites or reconnaissance and strike drones in the sky..."
Although Luke made a cold joke, the image of the Dark Lord in the wizarding world is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
So the students didn't laugh, but looked at Luke with horror.
Luke then realized that the joke was not funny to the students.
He shrugged and said to the students:
"Well... this joke might be a little dull..."
Harry may be the only one here who has no fear of the Dark Lord of the wizarding world.
He asked Luke:
"Are you not afraid of the Dark Lord?"
Luke smiled and said to Harry and the students:
"The Dark Lord is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, a carbon-based creature... there is nothing that cannot be destroyed by thermal weapons."
Then he spread his hands.
"It's just a matter of how large the area is and how much equivalent is used... Don't be afraid."
Luke's words reduced the students' fears a little.
But Luke didn't want to continue discussing this topic, but continued to teach students the knowledge and practice of hot weapons.
Principal Deng watched the whole process without saying a word.
Finally, he returned to the principal's office thoughtfully.
In his spare time, Luke spent two days renovating the shooting range and another teaching area.
Occasionally visit other professors...
Today is the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class that students have this semester.
Luke followed.
Mainly came to see Lupin.
Last time Luke braised a big pot of pork ribs, most of it was eaten by Professor Lupin.
With some beer and peanuts...
Professor Lupin was still not satisfied with what he ate...
Not only braised food, but also barbecue...
Hagrid eats the most...
There is no other way. The beef from Dutton Ranch is so delicious that even the magical world has no creature that can compare to it...
Anyway, everything Luke eats and uses is basically used as a favor and to maintain relationships.
At the same time, he also received many strange magic items from the professor...
These things were kept by Luke as souvenirs.
Many things are worth studying and suitable for future plans...
On the train that day, Luke noticed Professor Lupin's physical problems.
But after that, Professor Lupin never looked for Luke.
So Luke also came with the students to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this time.
This class teaches students spells to deal with boggarts.
A Boggart is a dark, inanimate creature that prefers confined spaces.
How do you say this thing?
It's a bit like a mirror.
He can transform into the thing that the person opposite him fears the most.
No one knows exactly what it looks like because everyone's biggest fear is different.
It can transform into something that everyone fears, so when it is locked in a box or cabinet, people cannot see what it looks like.
But Luke can.
It has a pair of eyes that can see through the box to see what is inside. It is actually a mirror, the size of a palm, very ancient...
Professor Lupin first introduced the basic information of this monster.
Then teach the spell to use when facing it.
When the students have remembered most of what they have learned, let them line up and face the Boggart one by one.
Because everyone's fear is different, the things that change in front of the students are also different...
Professor Lupin asked students to think of something happy and interesting when facing it.
This will make the spell casting smoother.
The result is a lot of funny effects.
For example, Ron is most afraid of spiders.
The Boggart turned into a giant spider.
After Ron cast the spell, roller skates were installed on all eight legs of the spider...
Someone is actually afraid of Professor Snape.
As a result, Professor Snape, who was transformed by the Boggart, turned into... a cross-dresser...
It was Harry's turn to do the experiment. Professor Lupin appeared calm on the surface, but he was nervous inside.
He was afraid that the fear inside Harry was the Dark Lord...
But what Harry is actually afraid of is... the Eater of Souls...
On the train that day, Harry was still affected by it.
The Dementor has both area damage and single-target damage, and is considered a very powerful dark creature.
Therefore, the wizarding world has never been able to completely eliminate even one Dementor.
But it had no effect on Luke at all.
That’s why Luke was able to kill 8 Dementors on the train…
The Boggart in front of Harry turned into a Dementor.
Harry was horrified...
Lupin was about to stand in front of Harry, but a hand suddenly stretched out from his side.
"Get out of the way~"
bang~
The Boggart was reduced to a pile of shards of glass and metal...
Lupin stared at Luke with dead eyes.
The students also looked at Luke in surprise...
Luke blew on the muzzle of the revolver in his hand.
He spun the gun a few times and put it in the holster at his waist.
He waved to Lupin and the students.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. Look, this is the power of Muggle weapons. All fear comes from insufficient firepower..."
"what……"
Lupin grabbed Luke by the collar...
"I finally got the Boggart... and you... you..."
Luke opened Professor Lupin's hand and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Hey, Professor Lupin, don't get excited. There is nothing that money can't solve. If there is, then you just need more money..."
This really calmed Lupin down a lot...
After Luke came to Hogwarts, it really didn't look like he was short of money...
Lupin glanced sideways at Luke.
Oh, well...if you take your hand off the holster, I'll believe it...
This is just a small episode in a daily class...
However, Luke was unhappy with the behavior of some students.
This time it's Professor Hagrid's class, learning about a magical creature, Buckbeak.
On the edge of the school's forbidden forest, Professor Hagrid teaches students here.
And he also brought a Buckbeak.
Luke found this thing interesting when he first saw it.
Was it the giant eagle that cheated, or the wild horse that cheated...
The front part of this thing is an eagle's head, wings, and claws...
The hindquarters are the back half of the horse.
Four legs, the first two legs are different from the last two...
Magical creatures are quite interesting...
But this guy is quite arrogant...
Is this the double sense of superiority brought by the two races?
