Grindelwald paused for a few seconds, looked at the little Luoli who was sitting obediently on the chair and listened quietly. The corners of his mouth turned up almost inaudibly, and nodded with satisfaction - if it was just to show off his personality by simply flouting the rules, it would be so arrogant.
Idiots, no matter how talented they are, there is no need to teach them.
In Grindelwald's long life experience, it is not unprecedented for him to have young wizards whose talents and magic powers far exceed those of his age. However, it is a pity that most of the talented people before this did not seem to understand.
A very simple truth: before it turns into real strength, outstanding potential will always be just a seemingly beautiful fairy tale.
"...I will not teach you magic according to your Hogwarts textbooks that are full of errors. Since you want me to teach you magic, the content and method of learning must be implemented according to the plan specified by me."
Whoosh!
As soon as Grindelwald finished speaking, Elena raised her right hand high and winked at the old man cutely.
"Huh? Is there any problem?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows.
"What if I think your approach and content are unreasonable? Or too far away from the knowledge I need to master?"
Elena would not be easily changed by Grindelwald. You must know that her purpose of coming here this time was just to find a way to open the bedroom door downstairs that was sealed by Dumbledore.
For her, the most important thing is whether she can effectively solve the dilemma she encountered. This is also the prerequisite basis for all discussions.
"Then tell me, what kind of magical knowledge do you need to master? I mean, except for the magic spells that are specially learned to deal with the levels set by Albus."
Grindelwald looked at Elena with interest and asked.
Speaking of which, everyone has their own areas in which they are good or bad, and this can usually be clearly seen from everyone's initial interests and preferences. For example, Grindelwald is most interested in war.
Magic, but Dumbledore was most interested in Transfiguration.
"What are you most interested in, magical beasts?"
Elena tilted her head and answered without thinking. After thinking for a while, she added, "Of course it's not just magical animals. To be precise, I am quite interested in all the creatures that make up the magical and non-magical worlds."
of."
"Another fan of magical animals... I really don't understand the charm of those annoying little things."
Hearing Elena's answer, Grindelwald couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. He had a strange expression on his face, as if he was remembering some unpleasant memories, and he muttered something in disgust.
"Although this is not my strongest field, it is more than enough to teach you."
Raising his head and glancing at Elena, whose eyes seemed to be shining, Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, "Then, in addition to the magic spells requested by Albus, plus some knowledge about magical animals, the rest of the study
The content and process are all arranged by me, so there’s no problem, right?”
"No problem, but do you really know about magical animals? I remember when you were first arrested decades ago, it was..." Elena nodded and looked at her with a somewhat suspicious look.
He glanced at the first-generation Dark Lord, who looked like he was taking over everything, and said hesitantly.
"That was just once! And it was only with the help of dozens of Aurors that the sneak attack was successful."
Grindelwald's face was stern, and he glared with some irritation, "Besides, since..., I have done a lot of research on these little things. Except for Newt Scamander, the entire magical world is more
I know absolutely no more than ten wizards who know Fantastic Beasts better."
Although Grindelwald may not be able to accurately pronounce the term "barrel effect", this does not prevent him from realizing that shortcomings have a strong limitation on personal strength, especially after suffering several losses in a row.
"Ahem, but Mr. Newt Scamander and I may have slightly different interests in magical animals."
Elena smiled shyly, spread her index finger and thumb, and made slight gestures in the air.
"I said, you don't need to worry about this. You don't even need to bring your "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" textbook. With your current knowledge, you can't ask a few questions that I can't answer.
.”
Grindelwald waved his hand proudly, not caring about Elena's anxiety at all.
"In short, as long as I can answer questions about your interests and hobbies, you won't have any complaints, right? Apart from these two points, I have the final say on the rest of your time and study arrangements.
Already."
Over the years, in order to pass a lot of free time, he asked Dumbledore to buy a lot of magazines and books about magical creatures for entertainment. He even got so bored that he insisted on reading every issue of "The Quibbler", which was almost complete nonsense.
Subscription purchase.
Even if a girl asks about magical animals that may not exist at all, such as the "Crescent-Horned Snorlax", Grindelwald can explain and deal with it very comfortably, not to mention, in Grindelwald's view, he was born in a non-magical world.
Elena couldn't ask any decent questions at all.
"Of course, the premise is that the question you raised is not an unreasonable and unanswerable question." After thinking about it, Grindelwald added extra cautiously. I don't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong.
"Well, of course not... You are right. As long as you can answer my questions, the subsequent arrangements and plans will naturally be yours."
Elena glanced at Grindelwald, who was full of honey and confidence, raised her left eyebrow slightly, and did not continue to explain.
Anyway, she didn't dig this hole. Since Mr. Gellert Grindelwald took the initiative to jump into it, she was naturally happy to see the result.
"Then what's the third point?"
Elena thought for a while and asked proactively.
"My daily lecture time is not unlimited. It is 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. If you haven't mastered the knowledge beyond 6 hours, just figure it out by yourself. Don't disturb my rest in my room."
Grindelwald said with a relaxed expression. In this way, he would not have to constantly be wary of whether a little girl with brute strength would suddenly burst in from the door of the room and scream. After all, who knows what this little guy will do?
I won’t have the habit of insomnia at night.
"as well as……"
I saw Grindelwald paused, and tried his best to say casually in a casual tone, "As compensation for me thinking about the teaching plan, of course I will give you three meals a day these days."
