Chapter 758 Harry's Doubt
Chapter 758 Harry's Doubt
However, candidates who used conventional spells to participate in the wild survival test, and did not have all kinds of alchemy equipment as in the dungeon, quickly fell into a predicament.
They may be able to skillfully use outdoor survival tools to make food, camp, guard, tell the direction, drive away dangerous creatures, etc., but when it comes to chasing fugitives, they are somewhat blind.
Only a small number of candidates can flexibly use the tracking methods in "Tactical Training", and only rely on basic tracking spells and naked eye observation to capture the enemy's traces.
Most of the rest of the people are blind, looking for a certain suspicious direction to chase after, and then falling back if there is no gain, just like a rabbit bumping around.
Among them are some tough guys, chasing after them in a false direction until they broke into the trial range of other candidates.
As for such disorganized students, Anduin decisively eliminated them in advance, saving them from continuing to embarrass themselves.
So it was a three-day field survival. In fact, people would be kicked out in advance every day. By the last day, there were only a dozen or so candidates left in the Forbidden Forest.
These are the students who usually persist in training hard, and they all use the skills taught by Anduin in the classroom to catch the tail of the target.
In the end, there were only 7 members who were able to successfully complete the arrest task, and the rest of the candidates either timed out at the end, or failed to beat the construct that played the fugitive.
Faced with this extremely dismal pass rate, whether it was the 7th graders who took the final exam, or the rest of the students, Aurors, and professors, they all felt Anduin's strictness.
"So those are the only graduates who can finally get the NEWT certificate of tactical training?" Amelia asked, looking at the seven students who had just been taken back to school, all in a state of distress.
She was actually not very satisfied with this result. Amelia had actually been watching the performance of those candidates when they participated in the trial. In her mind, the performance of the last dozen or so people was quite good.
It's a pity that the enemies that Anduin arranged in the end were ridiculously strong, even more difficult than the dark wizards that the official Aurors had to face, and those candidates had to endure a full three days of ups and downs.
Such a strict pass rate made her feel sorry for those candidates, and she even felt that Anduin was deliberately embarrassing others?
Originally, the Examinations Administration of the Ministry of Magic arranged for people to come to invigilate the exam, in order to prevent the professor from being soft-hearted and open the back door to the students, but it turned out that Anduin was lucky, and the exams he arranged were so difficult that the invigilators couldn't stand it.
When faced with Amelia's dissatisfied question, Anduin still shook his head indifferently, "No, this just proves that they passed the third exam, and the subjects of the first two exams haven't come out yet. In a few days, I will send the results back to the Legal Enforcement Department via 'Magic Fax', I remember that Fudge equipped you with this office-type communicator."
"You..." Seeing Anduin's stern and selfless face, Amelia could only shake her head helplessly, "That's fine, but I think the last dozen or so candidates who persisted until the last day are all capable. Yes, give me their list."
While Anduin upholds his own high standards, Amelia has her own ideas.
"How many people you want to recruit is your freedom, but I still advise you not to open your mouth too much." Anduin reminded him earnestly.
"You know, this is only the first batch of graduates who have studied tactical training. As time goes by, the quality of the graduates will definitely be better. When you meet better talents, don't miss it because there are not enough positions."
Amelia couldn't help being silent for a while when she heard the words. She knew that what Anduin said was indeed the truth. She found many good seedlings when watching those little wizards taking the exam a few days ago. When these children grow up, I'm afraid It will be even better than the wizards who have passed the final exam now.
"Understood, I will consider it carefully, but the Ministry of Magic is really short of manpower right now, and the expansion of enrollment is inevitable. You provide the list first, and I will select it in detail." Amelia was obviously taken by Anduin Convinced, but considering the recent complaints from the Aurors in the department, she also had to balance each other.
"Well, the list will be sent to you later, and I will also note their previous classroom performance and evaluation, and the rest is up to you to consider." Anduin knew Amelia's difficulties, so he didn't More persuasion.
So far, the final exams of Hogwarts' 1991 school year have finally come to an end, and the next thing to welcome all the students is the final ceremony.
As for the results of the final exam, according to the past practice, they will be sent to the students by owl messenger in a few weeks.
Of course, since the Silver Flash Talisman came into existence, this process has also been simplified. Students can see their grades in the Silver Flash Talisman system one week after the summer vacation begins.
As for the end-of-term ceremony, although it was organized grandly, the little wizards were obviously not interested in it.
This is mainly because in the first two days, everyone has been carnival for three full days, and there was still a live broadcast of survival in the wild at that time.
In addition, the little wizards of this school year are indeed too tired. After being tossed about by various training subjects for so long, they have long been looking forward to returning home from the summer vacation, and the end-of-term dinner even seems a bit redundant in their eyes.
However, at the dinner party, there was one thing that everyone paid more attention to, and that was the ownership of the Academy Cup.
Due to Anduin's intervention this year, the heavy training and the popularity of the ruins dungeon, the violations of school rules in Hogwarts are much less than in previous years, so the score gaps of the four houses are not particularly large.
However, due to the foundation laid by Anduin for Slytherin, Snake Academy still dominates with scores significantly higher than other colleges.
As a result, when the ownership of the House Cup was finally announced, Dumbledore actually made a fool of himself. He used the excuse of outstanding contribution to add 100 points to Gryffindor House alone, so that the Lion House won the House Cup this school year.
Such a change naturally made the little lions of Gryffindor ecstatic, but it also made the students of Slytherin very unhappy, including of course their headmaster Snape.
"This damned old man, he's biased!" Snape looked at Anduin dissatisfied, and then he couldn't help complaining, "Look, he used this excuse to take away the academy you worked so hard for back then. Academy Cup, what is this if it’s not favoritism?”
"Oh? Now the academy has been managed by me again?" Anduin looked at the other party amused, "Didn't you always attribute the success of the Snake Academy to your own leadership?"
"In addition, you should be clear about the reason why the principal did this. After all, if you are still a student now, he might secretly give you extra points."
"Humph……"
Snape naturally knew that Dumbledore was doing this to give extra points to Harry and others who assisted in the capture of Voldemort, but he was still a little annoyed.
Then he couldn't help urging Anduin, "But you caught that guy by yourself, don't you have any complaints? If I were you, you would have to protest with the old guy."
"do not!"
Anduin didn't know what Snape was planning, so he quickly separated the relationship.
"I'm not the head of Slytherin now, let alone their dean. What does this have to do with me, and those children have indeed contributed a lot. It's no big deal to give them some encouragement. If you have If you have any opinions, go talk to the principal yourself."
"You bastard, why are you so ungrateful?"
Seeing that Anduin was unmoved, Snape immediately became angry, but he also knew that what the other party said was true. Compared with trapping Voldemort, mere college points are naturally nothing.
But Snape, who valued honor, still couldn't help but slander secretly, but he turned a blind eye when the students of his own academy cast questioning looks, obviously not planning to stand up for them in this matter.
Anduin next to him didn't pay attention to Snape any more, just enjoying the delicious food at the dinner leisurely. Since Kiki went to the Hogwarts kitchen to give guidance once, the elves in the school are obviously good at cooking.
During this period, Anduin felt a gaze always resting on him, and when he looked back along the way, he found that it was Harry with a disturbed expression on his face.
Seeing this, Anduin understood, and his mouth squirmed silently a few times, then Harry in the distance seemed to be startled, but quickly nodded to him as if in response.
After the end-of-term dinner, Anduin didn't rush back to the Leona, nor did he leave Hogwarts, but returned to his office, quietly waiting for someone.
Sure enough, not long after, someone knocked on the door of the office, and the figure who walked in was Harry.
"Professor, I've come here according to your wishes. What's the matter with you looking for me alone?"
Harry, who had just finished the final dinner, was like a lion that had finished hunting, and the excitement left by the carnival with his friends hadn't faded away.
But when he saw Anduin, he couldn't help but remain reserved, but this was normal. No one could talk to Anduin calmly after seeing the god-like Anduin and killing a Dark Lord.
"It's obvious that you have something to ask me." Anduin smiled at Harry with a gentle expression. He had already noticed that the other party seemed to have something to ask for him.
"Professor, can't you hide this from you?" Harry scratched his head with an awkward smile. He didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive. "It's like this. I unlocked the blind box you gave me."
After saying that, Harry took out a few items he got from the blind box, which were a rune plate, an old-fashioned pendant, and a black and white photo.
Not long ago, Harry was influenced by Hermione's interpretation of power, so he tried to use the attack spell directly to open the last blind box.
In the end, he didn't expect that this line of thinking was correct. After accumulating energy and casting spells many times, the blind box was actually opened. Such a simple and unexpected process made him feel very sudden.
But when he saw the contents of the blind box, Harry's doubts became more and more, and he became more and more curious about the relationship between Anduin and his parents.
So he wanted to ask Anduin several times, but that was the busiest time for him, and he didn't see anyone once a day.
And at the end-of-term dinner today, when Harry was hesitating whether to muster up the courage to find Anduin, he received a voice transmission from Anduin secretly.
"So fast? As expected of Lily's child, it seems that your talent is no worse than that of your parents." After seeing the items in Harry's hands, Anduin nodded knowingly.
"I must have seen these things, and you have a lot of doubts in your heart. I promised that when you solve all the puzzles, I will answer them for you, so if you have any questions, just ask."
Harry nodded happily when he heard the words, and then looked at Anduin nervously, "Professor, are these items in the blind box related to my parents? What kind of people are they, you and I What is the relationship between your parents?"
"Also... I can recognize my parents in this photo, so who are the others?"
Facing Harry's barrage of questions, Anduin shook his head helplessly, "It seems that you have a lot of questions in your mind, and it's my fault that I kept you a secret for so long."
Immediately afterwards, Anduin said to himself, "But I'm not the kind of person who likes to be sensational, and I'm also afraid that if you know my relationship with you, it will affect your studies."
"The items in your hand are indeed related to your parents. It should be said that they were all things your parents gave me back then."
"My parents gave it to you?" After Anduin said this, Harry became even more curious.
"Ah."
After answering, Anduin first picked up the rune disk.
"This rune plate was the Christmas gift your parents gave me 11 years ago, and it was also the one that allowed me to enter the world of spell learning. Although its function is simple, it is because of it that I was able to develop it when I was a student. He issued spells one after another, and took advantage of the trend to start the path of an alchemist."
"Being able to use it to solve puzzles so quickly proves that you have a good foundation in spell science. If there is a chance in the future, I can also guide you to learn spell science."
"And this pendant..."
Anduin looked at the pendant engraved with the doe pattern, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion in his heart. Has time passed so long?
"This pendant, although it looks dilapidated, is a testimony of when I met your mother and a symbol of our friendship. It even saved my life." Anduin continued after a pause .
"At the same time, this is also the first alchemy item I came into contact with. Although the function is very simple, I spent a lot of effort to analyze it back then."
Speaking of which Anduin didn't know why, Snape's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and the scene when he first encountered Death Eaters and Sirius 11 years ago appeared.
After shaking his head to clear his mind, Anduin looked at Harry with firm eyes, "Your mother is an excellent wizard, scholar, wife, mother, you have to remember this, she deserves more than most people in the world." respect."
