Chapter 251 Breathing method: the joy of fire~
"Remus, why did you come to be a professor?"
"Dumbledore really couldn't find anyone. You should know that Mr. Quentin Trimble was hospitalized in St. Mungo's, and he would not be released from the hospital for at least two or three months. If you are lucky...so you found me."
"Do you know the legend of this position?"
"You mean a curse? Of course I've heard of it. After all, this position has been changed every year since we were in school."
"Then why do you still come to this muddy water?"
"It's not just wading through muddy waters to help Dumbledore. Besides, I have long wanted to come back and have a look. The seven years here have been the best time of my life. Of course, I will get better and better in the future."
Lupine laughed very happily. The wolfsbane potion that Ted brought him almost gave him a second life.
Although it was funded by Sirius before, it was not bad to get in Muggle society. But the uncontrollability of every full moon night is like a knife, stabbing his heart repeatedly.
it's good now! He finally didn't have to worry about losing control. Even people are more confident, and their lives are more positive.
Otherwise, with his previous personality, Tonks would not be allowed to "intern" with him.
Seeing Ted's frown, he said again: "Don't worry, not every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be so unlucky that he will either die or be injured. We discovered a secret at the beginning, many professors will leave directly after teaching for almost a year, so that the curse will not be triggered. Only those who do not believe in evil will be unlucky~"
"All right…"
Ted can't say anything, saying that the curse will become stronger after Voldemort's resurrection? Even if it is just a job, it is possible to die?
The future is not immutable, and so is the curse. It's man-made!
…
Soon, Ted's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class began.
Because it has been delayed for more than a week, the four colleges have classes together to catch up with the progress.
Looking at the somewhat excited and eager students in front of him, Lupine showed a gentle smile: "Students, I have read the lesson plans from the previous two years... It's a pity, I'm afraid we have to start from scratch."
"For some reason, your teaching progress in the first two years was very limited, and the teaching content was scattered. We have to redouble our efforts to catch up."
"Well, don't rush to open the textbooks. Although I don't really want to say this, the textbooks you read are somewhat outdated."
Lupine said in a confident but gentle manner: "Did you know that in the past ten years, the number of new magical creatures and magical existences discovered in the magic world has reached a quarter of the past five hundred years!"
"And most of your textbooks have been published for ten years."
"A bad news. Before I came to the class, I inquired about the policy of the Wizarding Examination Bureau of the Ministry of Magic through my friends. It is said that they have planned to reform the O.W.Ls exam in two years, saying that they will change the scope and content of the questions on a large scale..."
He stretched out his finger, and then circled around, "Exactly, you are the first batch."
The little wizards on the seats suddenly let out a burst of lamentation, feeling as if all their strength was about to be drained.
In the first two years of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I was muddleheaded and half-baked, but after two years, the unified examination will have to be reformed, and I want to be the first batch of experimental guinea pigs, how can I be so unlucky!
When Neville thought that he was going to get a "T (very poor/troll in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class of his O.W.Ls exam, his whole body began to waver.
Ron was also nervous for a moment, but it will be fine in the next second.
Destroy it, tired.
Anyway, it doesn't affect me to eat chicken legs, whatever!
Look, Ron cured his internal friction in three seconds~
Seeing the low morale of the little wizards, Lupine hurriedly made amends: "Of course, don't be too nervous. Although the first batch is a bit sudden, the people from the examination bureau will not be so heartless, and they will definitely reduce the difficulty appropriately. In short, it is not too late to start working hard now."
"Okay, let's get down to business, let's start the class! Our first lesson is: how to distinguish what is a human and what is a magical creature..."
What is a "person" and what is a "magic creature"?
A previous generation of Minister of Magic once defined: Anyone who walks on two legs is a human being.
As a result, the goblins were looking for trouble, and a group of chickens, ducks and geese came the next day.
And centaurs have four legs, mermaids have no legs! How to calculate this?
Later, another Minister of Magic redefined: People who can speak human language are people.
Although the troll has low intelligence, it does have some simple words.
Until 1811, Grogan Stamp was appointed Minister for Magic. Grogan Stamp especially redefines man and beast.
He believes that a human is "any creature intelligent enough to understand the laws of a magical society and to take part in the making of those laws."
So far, the debate in the wizarding world since the 14th century has been resolved.
Glogan Stamp established three departments under the Department of Regulatory and Control of Magical Creatures: the Office of Aliens, Beasts, and later Ghosts.
It is worth mentioning that many humanoids and humans are not reproductively isolated.
Such as veela, giants (on the importance of the expansion spell), goblins, house-elves ("Fantastic Beasts 2"), etc. However, the Ministry of Magic strictly forbids non-humans from using wands.
Don't look at the Ministry of Magic as if it's a wine bag, but in this matter, the Ministry of Magic's ban is comparable to the ban on guns in China!
This also shows from the side how dangerous the goblins with sticks in the Goblin Rebel Army are.
They are the masters who pinned their heads to their trouser belts. So when it's time to make a move, it's really a deadly move!
The types of magical creatures were finalized five years ago, and it is still a provisional method. They can be roughly divided into: animals, plants, insects, magical beasts, humanoid monsters, spirit monsters, undead monsters, constructs, elemental creatures, strange monsters, monsters, dragons...
There are many types, because the more subdivided, the more complex the types are, which is a bit like the number of genders in the West.
It is obvious that Lu Ping attaches great importance to being a teacher. Compared with the previous two professors, he is much more serious—the lesson preparation is very detailed, the content is super realistic, and there is a lot of work.
Let’s put it this way, in this class alone, Ted has never heard of five or six typical monsters he exemplified.
It seems that he has been doing well in recent years.
Although he works as a detective in Muggle society, he is quite familiar with the changes in the magic world.
Also, since Sirius didn't have an accident, he must take care of his only remaining good friend.
After a class, the little wizards' evaluation of Lupin skyrocketed.
After two years of bad professors, they couldn't even believe that there was such a good professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?
This is simply the perfect professor!
In the next week, the little wizards immersed themselves in studying hard.
Hermione was also very unexpectedly appreciated by Bathsheda Bablin, the magic text professor.
As I said before, this professor is a bit of a part-timer, and doesn't like to take care of things, so he promoted Hermione to be the "Magic Text Class Representative", responsible for sending and receiving homework corrections and other things.
Now she can say that she has entered the selection sequence of the student council prefect ahead of schedule!
Soon September 19th is here, Hermione's birthday.
Ted gave her a comb that can automatically groom the cat. Because it is inlaid with a piece of malachite, it is very beautiful, so Meow Miao likes it so much that she has to hold it when she sleeps.
During this period, Ted also taught his friends the knowledge of the other world "breath of fire" in his mind, but everyone's progress was very limited.
Aside from Ted, only Neville felt something. , Following the breathing rhythm can strengthen the body, other friends are still in the groping stage.
After all, this thing is outside the magic system, and the way of thinking is different.
The reason why Neville was able to make some famous things is because he is relatively "simple".
Smart people like Harley and Hermione think a lot, want to explain, want to pursue. And Ron and Jerry didn't try hard enough.
Only Neville, he will not have any distracting thoughts, and he doesn't care what the principle of this thing is, whether it is reasonable or not, it is just simple breathing, and he can persist, but it has an effect.
The most obvious thing is the morning exercise. Now Ted and Neville have started to run around the Black Lake, and they can finish it in 30 minutes, which is more than the average professional long-distance runners!
Now Ted's physique has long surpassed the average adult. And Neville is really not a cover, he is only 13 years old and already 176 cm tall, and he looks like a young man in a suit!
Neville felt that he maintained this breathing method, his heart and lungs were strong, and he ran for more than ten kilometers without panting at all!
Instead, the whole body is warm and very comfortable!
The more you run, the happier you are, and the more you breathe, the happier you are!
After all, this is an idealistic magical world. With this mentality, Breath of Fire has gradually undergone special changes...
