Chapter 1055 The toad’s mouth cannot spit out ivory
"What happened? You are not injured, are you?"
Professor McGonagall walked quickly to Elena, looking a little nervous.
"Elena's transformation exploded!"
Hermione said angrily, shaking her head slightly.
As the victim at the center of the "explosion", she still has slight tinnitus.
The strong roar and air waves made her feel as if she had returned to the Hyperion flight base. A similar phenomenon seemed to have occurred when Elena manipulated the "Valkyrie" armor to break the sound barrier, but the "explosion" distance at that time was comparable.
It's much further now.
"Well, to be precise, it should be an explosion in the air - this is not an explosion."
Elena corrected her seriously, "Such a phenomenon may occur when the gas is rapidly squeezed inward or expelled outward."
"so--"
Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, and her serious expression reminded Harry, who was sitting in the second row of the classroom, of Aunt Petunia.
Although this comparison may be a little offensive to Professor McGonagall, at this moment, the Transfiguration Professor is obviously in the brewing stage of some kind of emotional explosion. Except for the eldest sister Elena, there may be no other little wizard who can resist it.
Professor Zhu's falcon-like inspection.
"Can you explain a little more about why the transformation of a pebble into a music box involves... um, a blast?"
"Oh, this is a wonderful attempt at scoping. I settled on the fuzzy space around the pebbles."
Elena said excitedly. She originally wanted to pick up her wand and make a rough gesture, but before she could raise her hand, Hermione had already put down her wand and turned to suppress the dangerous person next to her with both hands——
She still feels a buzzing in her ears.
"We have always speculated before... The selection of the 'overall' target of the transformation spell depends on subjectivity... For example, when we cast the spell towards the scythe, the wizard can flexibly control whether the change range covers the metal part or the scythe...
In other words, if the wizard can establish a corresponding overall 'collection' concept in his heart, he can extend it as far as possible."
"Theoretically, that's more or less the case. This content was originally supposed to be covered when you were in fifth grade."
Professor McGonagall said unmoved, his gaze continuing to stay on Elena, "The object of our spell today is a pebble. It is neither a complex combination tool nor a living thing that can run and jump. I really don't understand.
What confusion do you have about cobblestones?"
"The purpose of the Pebbles is certainly very clear, but that doesn't mean they can't be incorporated into other collections."
Elena said seriously, "For example, I can clearly identify other pebbles, desks, and books besides the target object...and then put the remaining pebble and the 'blank' around it into a collection——
This is like when taking a photo, there will always be some background behind the characters, and I use the fuzzy concept of counter-selection to include the cobblestones and the air around them..."
"Let's get to the point, Miss Kaslana -" Professor McGonagall began to sound impatient.
"Uh, I'm done. Transfiguration will affect the laws of physics, that's the conclusion."
Elena spread her hands and said quite innocently, "Maybe when we turn a 25 cubic centimeter stone into a 40 cubic centimeter box, it won't bring much change to the surroundings, but when we turn 5-6 cubic centimeters
Rice air and small stones together turn into a small music box..."
She raised her hand and shook it a few times toward the empty space in the classroom, clenching and releasing her fists.
"Due to the emergence of the vacuum zone, the surrounding air will rush in instantly - this is the first explosion. And when I remove the magic..."
"The air that you couldn't see just now will come back and squeeze out the filled air. In addition to making an explosion, is that how the hurricane that suddenly swept through the classroom came from?" Hermione continued thoughtfully.
She said that she had made up a lot of lessons during this period.
After Professor McGonagall thought for half a second, a complicated expression appeared on her face.
As a professor of transfiguration, she certainly knows the importance of the success of Elena's "locked selection" just now.
Magic has always been a wonderful world based on results, especially in Elena's case. If she can achieve it once, then theoretically she has a way to reproduce it countless times - and this means that the transformation technique is
There may be another big step forward in area of effect casting.
However, Elena's "wonderful ideas" often come with worrying potential dangers.
"Fortunately, at least this time it's much better than before. It's nice to have some air on a hot summer day."
More than an hour later, when the professors were communicating at the dining table during lunch, Dumbledore gently smoothed things over.
"That's because she took control this time," McGonagall glared at the conciliatory old wizard and retorted in an annoyed voice, "As her magic power continues to grow in the future, even if she suddenly
I wouldn’t be surprised if the water of the Black Lake turned into air!”
"However, if this casting process is within control, I believe Miss Kaslana knows the importance, right?"
Professor Dumbledore coughed slightly and continued to cut the boiled mutton in front of him.
"You know very well how Miss Kaslana understands 'seriousness'."
Mag raised his eyebrows and snorted indifferently, "Actually, I think you can't ignore some dangerous signs. Compared with so many terrible dark wizards that have been born in history, that young lady is the most...
What is worrying is that she can show lethality within the scope of legal compliance."
Before speaking, the Vice Principal of Hogwarts subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the door panel of the auditorium not far away.
On that hard magical wooden door, there is still a terrifying knife mark - that was the "silent" magic released by Elena last year.
"Okay, then Minerva, what do you think should be done? I believe that child is different."
Dumbledore shrugged helplessly, glanced at the bland boiled mutton and potatoes in front of him, and sighed softly.
Otherwise, what can he do?
Now he is just an old wizard who can only obediently eat old age meals that control oil, smoke, and sugar.
"As we have communicated before, in this special period, we cannot, or at least should not, suppress those new voices, especially when they are foreseeable to open a new chapter for the magical world - you want to restrict Cass
Is Miss Lanna making progress in learning magic?"
"Not-"
Professor McGonagall shook her head, quickly ate up the food in front of her, and put a piece of bread into her arms.
"I just think that as teachers at Hogwarts, we can't always passively catch up - whether it's 'magic terminals', 'cutting edge magic theories', 'Quidditch flying skills', 'Muggle natural sciences'
...After clearly seeing the gaps, we should take the initiative to fill in the absence of these contents. I am considering calling on all the professors in the school to spend some energy on further studies, so that they can at least understand and surpass the thoughts of twelve-year-old girls."
"Uh-huh? Call... all professors in the school to further their studies?"
Dumbledore's eyes twitched, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Minerva - this is not a pleasant suggestion, and it is not yet to the point where the professors cannot keep up with their knowledge. It is best to think about this idea for a while, just to complete the daily teaching tasks, professors
It’s very hard!”
"Well, but haven't we set up a 'teaching group' now? For now, time is more flexible..."
Professor McGonagall shrugged and glanced at the increasingly busy Hogwarts staff table.
Different from the past situation where there was only one professor teaching each course, today’s Hogwarts has greatly strengthened its teacher lineup:
Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration each have two professors, Potions even has three formal professors, and Magical Zoology (formerly Care of Magical Creatures) now has one plus two and a half professors - and this does not take into account students
Teaching assistant, Mr. Apokalis takes over the class.
As far as she knew, Professors Flitwick and Sprout also lodged protests with Dumbledore and the school board.
Since witnessing the relaxed course schedule of the Potions class, they hope that one or two associate professors can be added to the Charms and Herbology classes.
"You said before that the purpose of expanding the faculty team is mainly to give professors time to improve themselves."
The vice-principal of Hogwarts paused, glanced at the old wizard next to him who fished all day long, and continued with a serious expression.
"If it is just a disguised vacation, it will make everyone slack - I don't want the professors at Hogwarts to be unable to keep up with the students in class one day in the future. That would be too shameful. I plan to start with
Try it yourself and see how difficult and feasible the actual operation is."
"You should support me, right? Not to mention, Hogwarts will also provide certification of academic standards in the future."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Dumbledore, who was smiling and nodding, stood up and said, "Let's talk in detail tonight!" and left the table.
It must be said that the pressure hidden in the changes caused by Elena Kaslana is too great.
As a senior professor who has taught at Hogwarts for decades, Minerva McGonagall realized almost immediately the terrifying wave of learning that the "student terminal" could trigger - it was not just a course integration.
The "magic book" represents the cross-generational changes in students' learning motivation, study time, and information acquisition. If they do not change with them, they will soon be "overtaken" by students.
Maybe not in terms of pure magic strength and depth of knowledge, but in terms of "breadth" of knowledge and iteration of new knowledge, the professor may fall behind.
For example, in the Transfiguration class just now, almost the whole class understood Elena's "range casting".
Fuzzy target direction may make the casting results difficult to control, but it will ensure the integrity and integrity of the casting.
At least there won't be half-casts, like a mouse retaining its tail when it transforms into a cup.
When Neville Longbottom's "strange music box" caused a slight airflow, even Professor McGonagall had to admit that compared to the young wizards who are more flexible and have no constraints of ancient thinking, if they, the older generation of wizards, don't work hard,
, you may face an embarrassing situation later.
Of course, when the second grade class A all completed the "music box transformation" task, they also received the second "excellent" rating today.
However, the special achievement of "all-day excellence" may be difficult for them to achieve today.
After taking a short rest, before the first class bell rang in the afternoon, Elena and Hermione walked towards the fourth floor of the castle and passed through the corridor of the armor display room. The outermost one was Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Classroom, but everyone is not very interested.
Because before classes officially started today, students in the lower grades heard a "bad news" from their respective deans.
Professor Umbridge's course review passed, and she returned to the lower grade class.
What's even more sad is that there will be no Professor Lupin in the second half of the class this time - Dolores Umbridge promised to add some magic content to the course. In view of the fact that this Ministry of Magic official
In the past, most young wizards had a pessimistic attitude towards this.
"Don't be so pessimistic, Harry—"
Coincidentally, she met Harry who was complaining in a low voice in the corridor, and Hermione comforted him with a relaxed look.
"At least we are using two textbooks now, "Magic Defense Theory" and "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide". This means that the contents of both books will be covered in the class later. If she still lets us copy the books
, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Lupin would not agree. Apart from those cumbersome and rigid rules, I am actually quite curious about the angle and method from which Ministry of Magic officials view Defense Against the Dark Arts..."
"Curious?" Dean Thomas curled his lips, "Didn't she say it before? Don't cast any spells, this is the best."
"But in the class later, there must be elements of 'magic' and 'magic' in her teaching content——"
Hermione said, blinking her eyes playfully, and said with some expectation, "Then Professor Umbridge will have to come up with some 'real things', such as counter spells commonly used by the Ministry of Magic. Those should be
Is it something that would really be used in the outside world to deal with black magic and dark wizards?"
Hermione turned her head and said the last words to Elena. After all, this guy knew a lot of "inside information".
"Maybe, but even if there are magic spells, learning magic is not necessarily a good thing."
Elena shrugged noncommittally, and she did not spend any energy to care about the preparation content of the "Pink Toad" lesson plan.
However, she firmly believes in one thing -
A dog cannot stop eating shit, and a toad cannot spit out ivory.
Even if Umbridge really prepared some "magic" and "magic"-related Defense Against the Dark Arts content, based on her understanding of the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge, it would probably not be very pleasant, and she could keep it up at any time.
