Chapter 23 I Can Be a Little More Skinny

After flipping through the book, Ivan smacked his lips. He didn't know which master was so unlucky that he was targeted by Lockhart when he was telling his experience.

To be able to tell such a detailed story, it is obvious that he has had close contact with the smelly troll.

Ivan closed the book and put it back where it was. Even if he already understood the troll's weaknesses, he still had to make various preparations.

For example, improving potions, or learning some more powerful magic. In short, his academic points are missing again.

The only way to obtain academic grade points is to answer professors' questions in each class, in addition to attending classes.

But Ivan soon discovered that it is not so easy to be a good student. These days, even answering questions requires competition.

No matter what kind of course it is, whenever the professor on the stage asks a question, our know-it-all lady will always raise her hands high for the first time, and then give the answer quickly and accurately with the permission of the professor.

After Ivan joined the team to answer questions, the class became a battlefield between the two, and two arms raised high could be seen in every class.

And Hermione seemed to enjoy it, and she studied harder and harder. She often stayed in the library with Ivan until it was time to close the door and turn off the lights before returning to the dormitory.

Ivan was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to earn some student status points, but after being manipulated by Hermione, his income was reduced by more than half.

Ivan couldn't bear it anymore and had to use some "special" methods.

"The disarming spell and the obstacle spell are what we will focus on learning next. They will also be one of the most frequently used spells by you in the future."

In the Charms class, the short goblin Professor Flitwick was standing on a stool, popularizing common magic knowledge to a group of young wizards, waving his wand from time to time to demonstrate to everyone.

Having taught Charms classes for more than ten years, Professor Flitwick's teaching experience was very rich, and it didn't take long for him to get the young wizards excited about learning.

"Okay, so does anyone know what the Disarming Curse is? What does it do?" Professor Flitwick asked, looking at the students in the audience.

Hermione took the lead and raised her arms high. At the same time, she turned her head and glanced at Ivan. Hermione was still very concerned about this only threatening competitor in class.

However, Ivan stood up directly under Hermione's surprised gaze and said to Professor Flitwick.

"The disarming spell is Professor Expelliarmus (Expelliarmus). Its effect is to deprive the opponent of his wand after hitting the opponent. At the same time, the disarming spell also has a certain impact. The knockback effect depends on the level of the caster and the difference between the magic power of both parties. related."

Professor Flitwick, who was standing on the stool, was just about to ask Hermione a question, but he didn't expect that Ivan suddenly stood up and talked a lot, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"Well said, two points from Gryffindor."

Professor Flitwick responded quickly, but Ivan's behavior of rushing to answer was somewhat bad, so Professor Flitwick reminded him again.

"Also, Mr. Hals, I think you'd better raise your hand before answering a question next time."

"Okay, Professor" Ivan glanced at the rewards in the system column and sat down with satisfaction.

Ivan's obedient attitude made Professor Flitwick nod. He thought Ivan might just love learning more, so he cleared his throat and continued.

"Next is another question, the Obstacle Curse"

Before Professor Flitwick could finish speaking, Ivan stood up again.

"The spell of the obstacle spell is Impedimenta. Its effect is to create a magic barrier to block attacks in one direction. The advantage is that multiple ones can be stacked at the same time to achieve a stronger defensive effect. The disadvantage is that it cannot defend against attacks from other directions. attack."

"Am I right? Professor" Ivan smiled obediently at Professor Flitwick.

Hermione's eyes widened and she stared at Ivan blankly. This time, it was over before she even had time to raise her hands.

The rest of the little wizards were trembling under the aura of Ivan's academic master. They were just answering a question. Do they still need to grab it? Too cruel

"Yes." Professor Flitwick said a word with difficulty and waved for Ivan to sit down. This time he didn't even get any points.

Ivan didn't care either. The system's extra point rules only required the approval of the teaching professor, and the points were determined based on the difficulty of the question.

"Let's move on to the next question." Professor Flitwick cleared his throat, glanced at Ivan, and then quickly turned to speak. "Forget it, I'll teach this lesson myself."

After learning how to answer questions in class, Ivan gained academic points much faster. After all, although Hermione is a top student and has a smart mind, the little witch is still relatively thin-skinned and cannot be like Ivan. Sao operation.

But every time he saw Ivan, his cute little face was always angry. At first, he even reminded Ivan that it was wrong to rush to answer questions in class, and that they should compete fairly.

Of course, Ivan shook his head firmly. Are you kidding? Can the competition between top students for answers be called competition? It's not against Hogwarts school rules anyway.

It is estimated that when the four founding giants of Hogwarts formulated the school rules, they did not expect that there would be people who "loved" learning so much!

Ivan felt that even if they found out, they would definitely leave tears of joy in the coffin.

Hermione was speechless by Ivan's rebuke, especially when Ivan brought up his previous experience of being deducted five points in flying lessons, and now he wanted to make up for it tenfold out of guilt, Hermione said Nothing more can be said.

While Ivan was happy, the professors in various subjects had headaches. More importantly, they still didn't know how to deal with Ivan.

They had seen little wizards causing trouble before, but this was the first time that they rushed to answer questions in class. In addition, Ivan answered correctly and accurately every time, and his attitude of admitting mistakes after answering was sincere, which made professors of various subjects even embarrassed to scold Ivan. .

Having tasted the sweetness, Ivan then extended his death-seeking claws to the potions class of the last fortress, intending to gradually find out Professor Snape's bottom line.

Snape, who had always favored Slytherin and was hostile to Gryffindor, was not so easy to talk to. He personally warned Ivan at the end of class. If he saw Ivan standing up to answer a question without his permission next time, he would He deducted all the college points Ivan earned in other subjects!

But as soon as Snape left, the system's beep sounded as expected.

[Ding, the potions lesson is over.

Comprehensive evaluation of this class: Satisfactory (excellent)

Reviewer: Severus Snape

Reward: Academic Grade Points*10]

"So arrogant," Ivan couldn't help but complain aloud, and then touched his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that he could be a little more skinny?
