The evaluation of magic school education is led by the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards. The ranking depends on each school's faculty, teaching standards, output, and... the quality of its graduates.
Hogwarts has no problem in terms of funding. After all, the British Ministry of Magic and the school trustees have two big sources of funding, but there is a big question mark over the teaching standards.
That's right, the school has a historical transfiguration professor, a spells teacher who has won a duel championship, and a herbalist master...
The advantages are outstanding, but the shortcomings are even more prominent:
The Divination teacher who looks like a liar; the History of Magic professor who is about to be retired and is exploited as a ghost; the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who changes every year.
Especially regarding Defense Against the Dark Arts, there is a saying that has been circulating in major magic schools and wizard recruitment markets:
There are only two kinds of Defense Against the Dark Arts positions in the world: one is at Hogwarts and the other is elsewhere.
Defense Against the Dark Arts in other schools is a popular and well-paid position. It is very competitive and anyone would want to get in.
But after adding the Hogwarts qualifier, it becomes a sinkhole position like no other!
After all, in other schools, the most you can do is to be expelled, but in Hogwarts, it may cost you your life.
Wizards with real talent and knowledge will not apply for jobs at Hogwarts. It is conceivable that the students' defense against the dark arts level is far behind other schools on average.
With such a team of teachers, no matter how good the students are, they will have to fail in their studies. It is ridiculous that the educational evaluation rankings can be high!
Not to mention that the textbooks are seriously aging, and they are not updated or corrected. Ghosts like Professor Binns even use textbooks from the era before his death...
The fact that Hogwarts ranks seventh in the educational evaluation may be due to its reputation as a millennium institution and the reputation of President Dumbledore of the Association.
Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
After the red-nosed Fusco was so angry that he fainted due to Rolfe, the old principal Evra shouted angrily:
"Has Hogwarts fallen to this point?!"
"When I was in office, the ranking was still number one." Delise Devont pushed up her glasses and sighed: "At that time, the whole world was proud of coming to Hogwarts, and look at it now!
Alas, it is really in decline.”
"What level is Hogwarts at now? There are only a few professors. Quirrell and others are already teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Can he teach it? He can't teach it!" Eupracia Moore said angrily:
"The next ranking will be lower than Beauxbatons, and then lower than Durmstrang... it can't be lower... I don't even need to lose face!"
"Who is the greatest headmaster of Hogwarts, don't you need me to tell you?" Phineas Black sneered:
"Whoever dares to nominate Dumbledore and say that he is greater than me in the future, I will put the ranking in his face."
"Phineas..." Armando Dippet reminded: "It was from your hands that Hogwarts fell out of the top five."
"What do you mean! Armando, are you so clean?" Phineas retorted:
"The secret room attack occurred during your tenure, causing the school to almost close down, and the mysterious man was also trained by you when you were the principal..."
All the old male and female headmasters quarreled with each other, blaming each other for the decline of Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat was so dumbfounded, why did they get into a fight even though everything was fine? Rolf is definitely a nuisance and needs to be expelled immediately!
Rolf didn't know what the Sorting Hat was thinking. He had hidden his merit and fame and stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the principals.
The boy's eyes were attracted by the only creature in the room. On a high gilded perch stood a phoenix, as big as a swan, with dazzling bright red and gold feathers.
Rolf recognized this strange magical creature at a glance. He walked over and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Fox's beautiful tail feathers, but it turned its head and stared at the boy sharply.
It seemed that whenever Rolf dared to stroke it, he would peck out his eyes.
You won’t be touched, right?
You are amazing and noble!
Luofu knew that Phoenix liked to eat seafood, so he took out a few pieces of sea rabbit from the pocket of his robe.
The sea hare is not a rabbit or a squid, but a snail mollusk. The shell has degenerated into an inner shell. There is a thin transparent shell on the back. The shell is white and has a pearl luster.
Fox was instantly attracted by the scent. Its wings flapped slightly, leaving the branch where it was perching and landing on Rolf's shoulder.
Luofu handed Sea Hare over, and at the same time, he pointed like the wind and lightning, and touched Fox's butt with lightning speed.
Ah ~ so elastic and firm.
There was a sudden "ding" in the young man's brain.
[One of Dumbledore’s guardian phoenixes was detected, triggering side mission 1:
Capture Fox, reward:
【pure tears】
Your tears will have the same magical effect as Phoenix tears and can heal injuries.
Side mission 2:
Complete 100% domestication of Fox, reward magic:
【Phoenix Nirvana】
After suffering fatal damage, it can be reborn as a juvenile in the fire.
(Task not completed)]
Sure enough... the Minotaur system was triggered again. If this was a wild phoenix, it probably wouldn't be given such a generous reward, only a few tail feathers at most.
But when Fox has an owner, everything changes instantly.
But then again, not only was the system greedy, but Rove was also greedy for Fox's body.
Among all magical animals, the phoenix is definitely at the top of the pet list.
They have powerful flames; their magical songs can inspire people and drive away fear; their tears have healing properties... they are even immortal and can help block "bullets" at critical moments, effectively preventing their imaginations from running wild!
If Rolf can tame a phoenix and obtain the magic [Phoenix Nirvana], he can directly use his face to eat the Avada and eat the melon, and he can be reborn anyway.
So the question is, where can I adopt such a good pet?
The answer is...it depends on your face!
There have always been only phoenixes that actively recognized their masters, not phoenixes that were forced to be tamed by wizards.
Magical creatures like the phoenix are elegant and powerful. They will not be forced to surrender to the power of any wizard. They only care about fate... When fate comes, it will be there.
In other words, the phoenix pays more attention to the drama of "when the tiger's body shakes, it bows its head and worships", so much so that there are only two phoenixes in the world of magic that recognize their master:
One, named Sparkle, became the mascot of the New Zealand Quidditch team Mottola Macaws; the other was Dumbledore's Fawkes.
Seeing the magic reward of "Phoenix Nirvana" given by the system, Luofu could only stare and had no other options.
But if Phoenix doesn't come to invest, it doesn't mean that we can't have a good relationship first. After Dumbledore passes away, we, as "honest people", can also take over Fox.
Or it wants to lay eggs on its own...Rolf can be close to the water.
Luofu took out his treasured inventory and fed them to Fox.
Just when he was using all his martial arts skills to "please" Old Phoenix, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder, and the man said gently:
"This is the first time I've seen Fox eat food fed by a stranger. It seems he likes you very much..."
Dumbledore stood beside Rolf at some point, put his arm around the young man's shoulders, sniffed, and said, "It smells so good."
Luofu raised his head, raised the sea rabbit in his hand, and smiled at the old man:
"This is a sea rabbit from the Mediterranean. It is cultivated only with red algae, giving it a rose-red color and a fragrant smell."
If the food hadn't been so delicious, Fox wouldn't have let Rove touch it so easily!
"Of course, this is not the most delicious food." The young man tutted:
"I know a kind of ingredient, the giant squid from the North Sea, which can only be caught in the deep sea. The taste is not comparable to that of ordinary squid.
The recipe is also very simple, with special butter crab roe sauce, a little Greek ultra-pure olive oil, Bordeaux white wine, and a special Italian recipe."
"I have the ingredients, and I've made it several times. The taste is authentic..."
Fox suddenly felt that the sea hare in his mouth was boring. He stared at Luo Fu, suddenly turned around and bent down, picked up a few fallen phoenix tail feathers from the nest, and put them into Luo Fu's hands.
"Fox wants to trade his feathers with you so that you can make him giant squid to eat." Dumbledore laughed dumbly.
"A few tail feathers are not enough. How much does the ingredient cost of the king squid alone?" Luo Fu sighed and said: "However, I will lose some money just to make Fox your friend!"
Fox, next time you want to eat, you can come to me anytime."
Luofu glanced at Fox's shiny fur. Since he couldn't get Fox's body for the time being, he planned to bald the old phoenix first.
…

(Thanks to the two big guys "This life is short and tiring" and "Wowo Lonely" for the reward.)
