Elena's eyes swept over Professor McGonagall, paused for a moment on her plaid coat that seemed to be a popular style at least six or seven years ago, and shrugged, "You are right, we are indeed
People from two worlds.”
When she was in college in her previous life, Elena minored in a particularly interesting course called Social Economics.
In class, the middle-aged Mediterranean teacher who looked a little cynical said something that made Elena feel that it was particularly suitable for the current scene.
"Mystery and unknown will only create distance but not class distinction."
Elena raised her finger and said seriously word by word, "The only thing that can divide human beings, a naturally social creature, into two worlds, in the final analysis is only one - poverty!"
There is no doubt that since humans first recognized the existence of magic, the group of wizards who control supernatural powers have indeed had advantages that ordinary people are far inferior to ordinary people in terms of accumulation of wealth, power, and fame. After all, before the big explosion of technology,
, most of the efforts of ordinary people are no better than a few simple waves of the magic wand by a wizard.
Looking back at history, the twenty-eight most famous pure-blood families in the magic world are all wealthy families with at least a hundred years of inheritance and great reputation and wealth. Such as the Gaunt family, the Longbottom family, the Potter family, etc., they are all
During that period, he relied on his own magical power to amass a large amount of wealth, power, and fame.
Therefore, the wizarding world and the Muggle world were artificially distinguished a long time ago. If you look for the reason, it is nothing more than that those arrogant ancient wizards deliberately improved the access level in order to maintain their own sense of mystery (high level of authority).
It's just a threshold.
However, with the passage of time, the positions of the two worlds have inadvertently been exchanged.
You must know that magic is not omnipotent. To be more precise, in Elena's opinion, the positioning of magic is to provide convenience, break through the inherent limitations of natural laws, and be the icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that most wizards are not aware of this. The backward workshop-oriented education system has even made generations of wizards face serious challenges in even the most basic livelihood.
For example, the Gaunt family, from which Voldemort's mother did not want to be named, was once a rich and evil family. However, by the 1990s, the family's wealth had been almost completely destroyed, except for a broken man.
Apart from the dilapidated old house, no decent property remains.
"Times have changed, Professor McGonagall."
Elena shook her head and said softly, "This world no longer belongs to the stage of wizards. I have no interest in the poor and backward magical world you mentioned. You can't teach me what I want to know there."
In fact, it is not that there has been a huge decline in the wizarding world, but because the Muggle world's technology has advanced at a terrifying rate under the stimulation of war, leaving wizards time to accept and digest all this.
Too short.
Even though there are a few wise adult wizards who can see this, when they start to try to integrate into the Muggle world, they will realize it in despair. As a wizard who has not received any basic education,
, it is extremely difficult for them to even live a normal life in the Muggle world.
Except for allowing them to go more smoothly on the road to becoming robbers or terrorists, their powerful magical abilities have almost no other useful uses. Compared with hundreds of years ago, the world's more distant and solid barriers have once again
Formed, Elena has no interest in taking the initiative to go to this big ship that has begun to leak.
"How dare you say that in a poor and backward magical world?! You have no idea what kind of vast and mysterious world you are facing."
As if he was seriously offended, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, her voice became stern, and she quickly retorted without thinking.
"Every adult wizard will study dozens of courses at Hogwarts, including Potions, History of Magic, Astronomy, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, etc. However, even if it takes a full seven years
, they have only learned a little bit of these courses. No matter it is any branch of magic, it is enough for a wizard to spend a lifetime studying it."
"But what is the value of these courses? If the content of learning cannot even guarantee basic survival, then no matter how profound it is, it is nothing more than unrealistic talk." Elena twisted her hands.
The silver hair on his shoulders answered casually.
"Every graduate of Hogwarts can find a decent job in the wizarding world." Professor McGonagall continued to retort, feeling a little angry.
"If everyone can find a decent job, then what's the point of hard work? You know, although the academic degree certification model in the Muggle world is somewhat imperfect, at least it is an objective manifestation of basic abilities. And in my case
It sounds like whether the wizarding world works hard or not is not that important."
Raising her head, Elena glanced at Professor McGonagall who had a serious expression on her face, curled her lips, and continued to ask without hesitation.
Compared to Professor McGonagall, to a certain extent, Elena thinks she understands the 'adult society' of the wizarding world better. After all, even academic masters such as Hermione Granger are just a member of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
They are just employees, while the savior Harry Potter and his little friend Ron directly joined the official violent organization of the wizarding world.
In other words, in fact, the certificates and exams they worried about during school had almost no effect on their actual work. This left Qian Qianqian struggling in the abyss of the judicial exam, and finally able to shoulder the responsibility of justice and society.
How embarrassed are the Muggles of Order?
Professor McGonagall's eyebrows were raised very high, and there were a few more wrinkles on her forehead. She had never seen such a difficult freshman before, and her tone became cold.
"We will issue O.W.Ls certificates and higher-level N.E.W.Ts certificates based on students' test scores. At the same time, the knowledge students learn in Hogwarts is not independent, they will last throughout a wizard's entire life.
, far more important than Muggle courses."
Feeling Professor McGonagall's displeasure, Elena, who had already made up her mind not to go to Hogwarts, shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "But this does not change that the same person is paying the same cost of time and energy.
Under the circumstances, you can get richer rewards in the Muggle world."
As she spoke, the girl looked at the wall clock beside the bed. This conversation had lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour. Although she was confident that she could defeat Professor McGonagall's arguments from all angles, it did not mean that she was interested in talking to someone.
A grandmother-level old wizard analyzes the shortcomings of the magic world.
Elena decided to use her ultimate move to quickly end this pointless debate.
Before Professor McGonagall could refute again, Elena raised her palms and interrupted, "Okay, we won't discuss the usefulness of these courses for now. Dear Professor McGonagall, may I ask, what are the lessons you teach?
Are so many students really able to fully master the content? Or let me ask another question..."
Elena stretched out her finger and pointed at the gorgeous chair under Professor McGonagall, and raised her eyebrows, "How many graduates can accurately reproduce the transformation magic you just performed? How many students have truly achieved the teaching goals you expected?"
"In your so-called magic world, how many people can really be called capable wizards? To give a simple example. How many wizards can guarantee 100% guarantee when facing a Muggle gangster holding a dagger at close range?
Easily subdued?"
"..."
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth and fell into an awkward silence. Although she could say a numerical value at will, her long-term habit made her not used to lying - the magical world was not that powerful, otherwise Voldemort and Voldemort more than ten years ago were not used to lying.
The panic caused by Death Eaters will not be that serious.
Elena was not surprised at all by Professor McGonagall's silence.
You know, people like Harry and Ron who never preview textbooks, don't listen carefully in class, and mainly rely on guesswork in exams are all good students with above-average grades. You can imagine that most students at Hogwarts are really bad.
To what extent, it can be inferred from this that those little wizards who are not even as good as Harry Potter will probably not be able to go anywhere after graduation.
Even so, Hogwarts is already one of the most prestigious schools in the entire magical world, so the educational level of the entire magical world can be imagined. Even the children who graduated from the most remote mountainous primary school in China in the past life are estimated to have
They are all more promising than these people.
However, facing the silent Professor McGonagall, Elena did not intend to let it go. She planned to end all topics about magic today and let her life path return to the happy path of urban rebirth and business war.
"Over the years, among the students you have taught, how many of them now have a higher salary than you? I think it is more likely that each class is not as good as the last. To be more straightforward, they are definitely not as good as you.
Most people, if they accidentally encounter some kind of disaster and are unable to go to work, they may go hungry next month. Even if they buy a few new pieces of well-made clothes for themselves and their children at the end of the year, they will already be living a comfortable life, right?
?”
Professor McGonagall's breathing became heavier and her lips pursed tightly, like a thin line. Among her past students, only Lucius Malfoy currently lives the most luxurious life, but his wealth is
It mainly comes from the savings of the Malfoy family and does not have much to do with his personal efforts.
"So you ruined your students. Because of your backward, narrow, closed, irresponsible teaching methods, and because of the magical world that you are proud of, which is completely unclear about its own position.
The most ridiculous thing is that you are still enjoying it, destroying the infinite possibilities of your students generation after generation."
Elena stood up straight, raised her head, looked directly at Professor McGonagall without timidity, and raised her voice and spoke loudly.
"You are just a group of poor and backward terrorists who are immersed in a false illusion created by magic and dare not look up at the outside world. You are misleading people."
"I, Elena Kaslana, will never step into your inexplicable world."
"you!"
Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly, her chest rising and falling violently like a bellows, her eyes angrily piercing the face of the little silver-haired girl in front of her like a sharp sword, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
any sound.
Looking at the wand held tightly in Professor McGonagall's right hand on the verge of rage, Elena secretly swallowed her saliva without saying a word - did she seem to have gone too far?
Glancing at the pale and thoughtful Benitez behind her, Elena gritted her teeth, opened her hands to block Benitez, and continued to speak harshly.
"Are you finally ready to take action? Are you going to forget all about it or go to pieces? Come on, let me see what the great wizard's final pride looks like."
"Hmph. Remember what you said, we will meet again."
After Professor McGonagall made a heavy nasal sound, she took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her chest.
Then she took a deep look at Elena, put away the wand in her hand, grabbed the lady's hat on the table, and strode away without saying a word, not even asking Elena why she knew the spells in the magical world.
I don't want to ask anymore.
——She was afraid that if she continued to talk to this annoying little girl, she would lose control of her emotions completely.
"So, you are really a professor, but you just come from the magical world?"
At this time, Benitez, who had been watching since just now, finally managed to clear up his thoughts, looked at Professor McGonagall's back, and subconsciously spoke to persuade him.
"Since you finally came here, why don't you sit down and have a bowl of hot soup before leaving?"
"**! No wizard would eat an owl!"
Professor McGonagall's furious roar came from outside the door. Ms. McGonagall, who was extremely well-behaved, finally couldn't help but swore and slammed the door.
Elena spread her hands with an innocent face and shrugged.
"But that's a fat Scottish chicken with a round face."
