In the entire Hogwarts, Defense Against the Dark Arts is perhaps the most unique course.
If we follow the definition of ancient times, this course that should have been called "Magic Combat" is not a general subject in the conventional sense, but a general course that teaches wizards how to integrate their knowledge and power.
Potions, herbs, astronomy, divination, spells, transformation, alchemy, magical creatures, runes... these are all the classification and summary of magic by wizards over a long period of time. Each piece of knowledge itself represents power.
The reason this course exists is to teach people how to turn this knowledge into power and how to protect themselves from harm.
For example, this class will teach young wizards how to deal with Boggarts, Grindylows, Red Hats, and Xinkpunks, which are still a certain threat to wizards. This class will teach young wizards how to deal with poisonous creatures.
Nettles, devil's net disguised as agave, angry knotweed vines, undiluted balboa tuber water; this course will teach young wizards how to distinguish chocolate mixed with love potion, brandy mixed with suffocating potion, or...
It is a lethal amount of water of life and death...
Of course, what is more important is how to properly use magic spells to fight magic and break various evil spells.
A few days later, the content of the practical exam set by Professor Apokalis gradually spread in the school and quickly became the focus of discussions among students every day, even overshadowing everyone's attention to O.W.LS.
Due to the frequent changes in professors of this course, the exam questions and methods are slightly different each year. If it were just a normal practical test, it would not trigger such a heated discussion. What many young wizards never expected is that this
The one-time assessment was actually a large-scale event that could be participated in repeatedly, and the difficulty and rewards exceeded everyone's expectations.
The name of this test is "The Test of Defense Against Darkness", but students privately prefer to call it "The Devil's Test".
It would be fine if it was just a test that could be taken repeatedly.
The most important thing is that this Defense Against the Dark Arts practical test is obviously a comprehensive multi-disciplinary practical test!
According to the professors, the students' performance in this customs clearance activity will also be used as practical scores for other subjects, and will be included in the total score of each subject according to a certain proportion, and will be used as an issue for the next parent-teacher meeting.
one.
On the other hand, any team of young wizards who successfully pass all assessments can also win a summer free trip for their respective families sponsored by Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The travel locations include Egypt, Greece, Italy, Germany, and France.
, Russia, Ukraine... dozens of well-known tourist countries in the magic world.
Of course, it can also be exchanged for gold galleons rewards, which are worth about five hundred gold galleons.
From the beginning of the exam until the end of the semester, everyone has an opportunity to participate in the assessment every day.
Except for the first attempt, subsequent assessments do not limit cross-grade or cross-college team formation, and the difficulty of the assessment content will be adjusted accordingly based on the average grade value to ensure relative fairness and justice.
Regarding this year’s unique examination method, school professors also made a joint statement.
The professors said that the assessment content in each link will not exceed the knowledge that students have learned in class, and will not deliberately increase the difficulty, nor will they let go in order to take care of the emotions of the little wizards. If at the end of the semester,
If the number of teams of little wizards who have successfully passed the level is greater than 33, then there will not be too many homework assignments this summer, otherwise... it will be doubled.
However, as of now, there is no team of young wizards that can successfully pass the level.
After experiencing several failures, a strange comment suddenly appeared in Hogwarts. This was actually a letter of challenge from the school professors, trying to find a seemingly reasonable excuse to increase the amount of summer homework.
Strength.
On the other hand, the Hogwarts school also hopes to use this method to lower everyone's scores, so that when the next parent-teacher meeting is held, the professors can have more conversations with parents.
content.
As this version of the well-founded conspiracy theory gradually spread, more and more students began to agree with this matter, and formed strategy groups in private, preparing to join forces to destroy the evil plans of the professors.
In order to have a happy holiday life, we must gather everyone's strength to overcome the final test at the end of the semester as soon as possible.
…………
"Based on the current information, almost all professors of major courses are involved, and different levels have been set up according to the characteristics of the subject. In other words, the team that wants to successfully pass the level must ensure that all subjects are covered..."
In the Hogwarts auditorium, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The prefects of the four houses and members of the strategy team gathered together to exchange the information they had obtained. Everyone's expressions were extremely serious, even more serious than during the exam.
Be attentive.
The information the little wizards have is mainly divided into two categories. One is the experience and lessons they have learned after constantly failing in the "Dark Magic Defense Test" these days, and the other is from Elena.
·The information revealed by Kaslana.
Due to possible dangers during the practical test, after each group of young wizards chooses to start the test, Elena will accompany them throughout the process and provide treatment or terminate the continuation of the magic test at any time, even if she is unable to directly help due to the requirements of the professors.
to the little wizards who participated in the test, but these days, she still quietly revealed a lot of information.
Although at the beginning, many senior students thought that Elena was also with the professors, but with the friendship of "downloading dungeons" together these days, the suspicion of the young wizards was gradually dispelled.
Even though Elena Kaslana's status now belongs to the "official NPC", she has always played the role of guide and healer in the entire "dungeon". This is like a dungeon that tortures players to death.
Inside, there is a righteous partner who is always by the player's side, so he is naturally not a bad person.
In contrast, the young wizards prefer to believe that in order to limit Elena's performance, the professors forcibly excluded Elena, who has the ability to disrupt the situation, from this assessment on the grounds of being a "potions assistant".
Prevent students from successfully passing the level.
After a Quidditch match, it is actually reasonable for such a result to occur.
"According to Elena, there are seven levels in total. You can only open the last level by passing the first six levels. Otherwise, you can only get certain bonus points. If nothing else, these seven levels should cover a wide range of tasks including flying lessons.
Part of the course content. And the most outrageous thing is that each level will automatically adjust the difficulty and assessment standards according to the different people entering."
Percy Weasley's face looked a little ugly.
As a top student, he actually failed to pass the second level, and only received a poor score in the comprehensive assessment. Even though he was in fifth grade, he was not actually required to take this assessment. At first, he just did it for fun.
mentality, but this was also an unacceptable defeat for him.
