It's obviously just a bunch of chess pieces, but it feels like thousands of horses galloping around.
Hermione's cavalry and chariot troops launched an extremely smooth attack like mercury pouring down the ground, rushing straight into Tom's central army formation.
At this time, Tom had already withdrawn his chariot troops, and the cavalry on both wings had also lost the opportunity. What was even worse was that the trenches had not been dug well. So the 900 infantry were attacked head-on by 50 chariots and 200 cavalry.
.
Some of the infantry counterattacked, but were easily routed. Tom watched as the centurion who had complained earlier sailed upstream and was beaten to pieces by soldiers from one of Hermione's chariots. One of his men
Coaxed to disperse.
Tom:……
I'm going to transform the bishop right away! Next time you want to hide on a hill, watch me directly bombard you with magic!
Tom's army was completely defeated. He watched his king jump onto a chariot extremely quickly, and then fled the scene quickly. Tom's nine hundred infantry were finished.
By the time Tom retreated to his small hill, almost none of the 900 infantry were left. And it was impossible for Tom to copy Hermione's style of play. Hermione only needed to throw out her own infantry to entangle Tom's mobile troops.
, and then let your chariots and cavalry charge into the formation, you can easily win.
"You win." Seeing his king being knocked over with a hammer, Tom gave up resistance. Hermione knocked on the table with satisfaction, "Remember to buy me chocolates."
At this time, several owls flew in one after another outside, some of them applied to be teaching assistants, but there were also a few letters from fans. In the first week of Tom's arrival, there were countless little wizards who came to ask for autographs every day.
There are hundreds of letters every day. However, since Tom replied to his fans and told them that he wanted to concentrate on teaching, the number of letters has dropped to a few letters a day. The demand for autographs from the little wizards is also limited, so Tom signed one.
After a lot of names, there were obviously a lot fewer little wizards coming to visit.
As for teaching, come on, Lockhart is qualified to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor! Tom can certainly do it too. For young wizards under fifth grade, Tom will naturally supplement them with some basic knowledge. After all, all the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years have
It's not very reliable, they need to lay a good foundation.
As for the fifth and seventh grade students, they naturally focus on reviewing and preparing for the exam. The fifth grade students will take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination (O.W.L.) tomorrow in June, and the seventh grade students will take the Ultimate Wizarding Test (N.E.W.T.)
The O.W.L. exam is a subject test for fifth-year students administered by the Wizarding Examination Authority. The score a student obtains in a specific O.W.L. exam subject will determine whether he or she can continue studying that course in the following year.
.Little wizards before the fifth grade are similar to undergraduates. Regardless of whether they are talented or not, the professors at Hogwarts will teach you. No matter how much Snape hated Neville, he taught them for five years.
The sixth and seventh grades are a bit like graduate students. Professors have the right to choose. They will stipulate that if you want to take their own courses, you need an O.W.L. score above a certain level. For example, Snape stipulated that if you want to continue taking his Potions class, you must have an O.W.L. Potions score.
Only those who are outstanding can do so. Professor McGonagall asked Tom at the beginning of the semester what level he should set his grades.
If Tom wants to save trouble, he can set his grades as excellent. In this way, there will definitely be fewer students applying for the course. But the employment of many students will also be affected. Defense Against the Dark Arts is not a popular subject, I think.
To become an Auror, you need to be very good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. To be a healer, you also need to get at least an "E" in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.
The grades in the wizarding world are divided into six levels: O, E, A, P, D, and T. The first three are passing grades, and the last three are failing grades.
So in the end, Tom, like other professors, set the grade at "E (Good)". There were not many students signing up for the class, only a dozen in each grade.
The role of N.E.W.T. is to serve as degree certification for Hogwarts graduates when they apply for jobs after graduation, which is equivalent to various professional certificates on Muggles' resumes. However, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years are really out of shape.
So these poor children can only teach themselves - the real Lockhart can only forget the spell and talk about his books. Lockhart can only provide all the support except help to the students. Tom is similar, he also
Not enough to teach these seventh-year seniors - but he is definitely better than Lockhart, and at least he can do one thing: help them prepare for the exam.
Tom used his Lockhart identity and connections to send out several letters and get the original questions from past exams from a fan of his who worked at the Wizarding Examination Authority. Then, Tom read these questions overnight. He
I found that the contents of the written examinations over the years are actually very similar: for example, last year's O.W.L. Defense Against the Dark Arts written examination tested the five characteristics of werewolves - this is simply a score question. It was covered in my own paper.
In his experience, the best way to deal with the Defense Against the Dark Arts written test is the question-based tactic. Because the Defense Against the Dark Arts test does not require you to create anything original. This course tests your understanding of dark magic and dark creatures.
Cognition, you need to know their characteristics, distribution, habits and coping methods.
Just memorize these things and you're done! This is much simpler than the exam questions in the Muggle world - at least the magic world will not ask you to briefly summarize the historical significance of the invention of Wolfsbane Potion, it will only ask you about the functions of Wolfsbane Potion
, the most difficult one is to test you on how to disable the Wolfsbane potion. These written-answer questions are more like multiple-choice questions on current affairs that delineate the scope of the exam.
This is also the reason why the Defense Against the Dark Arts faculty at Hogwarts is in turmoil, but students do not fail the class in large numbers.
In this way, the teaching method is very simple. Tom only needs to summarize the test points in the questions and produce a review booklet or Lockhart secret volume to cope with the written examinations of O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. The part other than the written examination is the practical examination.
, will test their mastery of defensive spells and various unblocking spells.
This requires Yidiandian's external help. To be more precise, Tom needs to find Yidiandian's foreign aid.
Tom dismissed the owls, and then played a few more games of magic wizard chess with Hermione. This time, the two sides played back and forth, winning and losing, and the two of them even played some new tricks. Until the afternoon of the third day,
After the first class, Hermione reluctantly left. Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Tom: seize the time to transform the bishop's chess piece.
After sending Hermione away, Tom took out the parchment and wrote a letter to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, hoping that he could make an appointment with them to discuss preparation issues for the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. practical exams.
