Chapter 206 New Learning, New Rules

The course schedule was quickly distributed to everyone, and as expected by Sean, the students all started wailing after taking a first look at it.

"Isn't it right? The first class starts at eight o'clock in the morning? Does it end at twelve o'clock in the morning?"

"More than that, look, the afternoon classes start at 13:30 and don't end until 17:30."

"They must be crazy...not only during class time, but there are also physical training classes? Damn it...aren't we wizards?"

The common room suddenly became messy, and everyone was a little dissatisfied with the class schedule.

When I was at Hogwarts, the class times for lower grade students were from 9 am to 12 am and from 14 pm to 15 30 pm. The classes for senior students were reduced and were usually from 14 pm to 15 pm. Eighteen o'clock. Special courses such as flying lessons and astronomy classes are held at fixed times.

As for Nurmengard's curriculum, not only the length of each class has increased, but also the number of classes in each subject has increased. In addition to this, additional courses such as physical training are added.

On the way back, Sean read the class schedule carefully, and the students' reactions were as he expected. The academic pressure at Nurmengard is obviously greater than that at Hogwarts.

Of course, there were also people who showed happy expressions, such as Percy and Hermione. The world of academic masters is like this, understand it.

The prefects began to urge the students to go to bed quickly. It was getting very late after the dinner. If we continued talking, many people might not be able to get up tomorrow.

However, Nurmengard still did a good job in terms of hardware. After washing, Sean climbed into the soft bed. He used the fluorescent spell to carefully read the dozen or so books that Grindelwald gave him in bed. A magic spell.

As the other party said, it was very difficult. After just reading it once, even if Sean's spell talent had caught up, the name and proficiency of the spell still did not appear on his system panel.

You still have to get started, and proficiency will increase even more depending on how others cast it... Sean muttered a few words, put the parchment away and fell asleep.

I have to go to class at eight o'clock tomorrow, and I don't know what the teachers in Nurmengard are like.

Sean woke up on time at seven o'clock the next morning. To his surprise, none of his roommates stayed in bed. You know, when these guys were at Hogwarts, class started at nine o'clock, and they didn't get up until half past eight.

Apparently, the punishment passed back by the student representatives yesterday still made everyone more anxious.

After washing was completed, when the students of Hogwarts came to the auditorium in large numbers, the Nurmengardians had already begun to eat.

"It's so early to get up...but what are they doing?" A Hogwarts student said from the side.

Sean walked over.

The door of the auditorium was open, and many Nurmengard students had serious expressions. They stood at the door, waiting for a while, and the vertical line in the middle, representing the Elder Wand, would tilt up.

At this time, the person pointing to the tip of the stick will have a reluctant or gloomy expression, while the person pointing to the handle will have a proud smile.

The two people will enter the door from both ends of the vertical line, sit on the right table on the side with the tip of the stick, and sit on the long table on the left with the side of the stick handle.

And some people who didn't wait for the Elder Wand to tilt would sit directly on the right table.

"That looks like some kind of detection method?" Hermione, who was in good spirits, said from the side, "Sean, did the professors at Nurmengard tell you yesterday?"

"No, it's not mentioned in the curriculum or school regulations." Sean shook his head, he didn't know what it was.

However, the vertical line is the symbol of the Elder Wand in Deathly Hallows, and based on the expressions of those people, the person pointed by the tip of the wand is obviously not in a good mood.

Maybe this is some way of testing strength?

A voice answered their questions.

"In Nurmengard, students are used to competition. There is a magic spell on the door of the auditorium. If two people stand on both sides, the magic will work. Whichever side the vertical line tilts towards, it shows the strength of that side. Not as good as another person. The length of time it takes to make a judgment based on the vertical line can also tell how big the strength gap between the two is."

Sean looked back and saw a tall, skinny boy with iron-gray hair. He was holding a short wand of about eight inches in his right hand. The wand was sliding back and forth between his palm and cuff. .

The boy's smile was rough, and his accent was a bit weird and a little bit rough.

Seeing the eyes of the students at Hogwarts, he grinned and said, "Introduce yourself, Jackie Mahabais, a fourth-year student from Nurmengard."

This was the first time that Sean saw such a friendly Nurmengard student. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to say hello to him, so he said: "Thank you for your explanation, Mahabais, Sean Waller." Pu, a second year student at Hogwarts."

He shook hands with the other party and found that Mahabaisi's hand was quite strong and completely inconsistent with his body shape.

Mahabais didn't care about others' indifference. He licked his lips and said casually: "This is one of the rules of Nurmengard. Corresponding to it are some differences in treatment. For example, the long table on the left side of the auditorium The food on the right side will be much richer than the one on the right side. Of course, you can also choose not to test, but then just sit on the right side."

After hearing this, Sean cast his gaze into the auditorium. Sure enough, as Mahabais said, the food on the left table was obviously more diverse. Although the food on the right table was enough, it was obviously not as rich. .

"You are exchange students. You don't have to comply. You can just go to your place. Of course," Mahabaisi grinned widely, "Ha, you can also try it yourself."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the auditorium and sat on the long table on the left.

"Didn't he say that without testing, you can only sit on the right side? Why did he go directly to the left?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"Maybe he has already been tested, or in other words, without testing, he is strong enough to sit on the left and no one will question it." Hermione said thoughtfully.

There is really a strong competitive atmosphere... Sean shook his head and prepared to walk directly inside.

"Hey, Sean, let's try!" Harry pulled him, looking eager to try.

"Are you sure?" Sean didn't care, and he couldn't tell whether this testing method was reliable or not. After all, the strength of a wizard can be measured not only by academic performance. For example, Harry's grades are not top-notch, but his actual combat skills are quite good, while Hermione, as the top grader, is nervous during actual combat.

"Of course, although I know you are strong, I am not weak either!" Harry looked very competitive.

"Then give it a try." Sean shrugged.

The two stood on both sides of the vertical line, and others looked over curiously.

"Is this still a competition? Sean wins for sure!"

"Not necessarily. Harry's parents are both very outstanding wizards, and you should have seen this guy's performance on the duel stage. Look at that Expelliarmus, tsk, fast and accurate."

The students discussed quietly and excitedly. In Hogwarts, there has never been such a direct competition. In other words, it is rare to see such a naked difference in strength.

Only the little white-flowered Daisy twisted her fingers in the crowd. One was a boy she admired, and the other was a brother she respected. Who should she pray to win?

Soon, the Elder Wand gave the answer.

The vertical line didn't wait for a moment like the previous pair of wizards. When Sean and Harry stood still, the vertical line fell directly towards Harry without any hesitation.

"Oh~~~" The students of Hogwarts made cheering sounds.

"This, this is too fast..." Harry was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the gap between him and Sean was so big.

"Man, it looks like I'm lucky today." Sean smiled and put his arm around Harry's shoulders.

George and Fred came up, each of them resting on Sean and Harry.

"Sean, that's really irritating to say."

"Yes, excessive modesty is actually arrogance, man, you look really annoying now, don't you, Harry?"

Harry rolled his eyes at the two of them angrily, and said with some frustration: "Ignore them, Sean."

Sean spread his hands: "Did someone speak to us just now?"

"Oh, oh," George became angry, "Our little genius Wallop is also very talented at hurting people."

Fred cooperated with him: "A genius seen once in a century at Hogwarts! He is excellent, he is arrogant, but - he is blind."

"Should I say thank you for the compliment?"

"Of course, you're welcome!" The two of them responded together, and then pushed Sean and Harry into the auditorium.

"It's our turn!"

Fred and George also stood on both sides of the vertical line.

This time, Vertical Line hesitated for a long time. Finally, after the people behind him became impatient, Vertical Line fell towards Fred.

"Damn it, are you kidding me!" Fred shouted dissatisfied.

George smiled happily: "This is the first time I like Nurmengard so much. Fred, please remember to call me brother from now on."

"Go away, you bastard, this thing is not accurate at all, and I will always be born half a minute before you."

"Isn't the difference in strength enough to even up for half a minute?"

Looking at the quarreling twins, Sean shook his head with a smile. These two little creatures were the same everywhere.

Then, many Hogwarts students also tried it in pairs. Obviously, after the test, some were happy and some were sad. Many people ate two extra grilled sausages during breakfast. , similarly, some people took a few bites of their sandwiches with some frustration.

As the number one in the grade, naturally no one approached Hermione. The girl was drinking pumpkin juice and frowning as she said, "Isn't Nurmengarde like this too...too...?"

She seemed to be trying to find a gentler word, but she couldn't find it.

Sean continued: "Too utilitarian? It seems that students are divided into two levels?"

"Yes, that's what I mean..." Hermione muttered, "I'm just a student. Isn't this not good?"

"The teaching philosophy is different." Sean took a sip of Nepalese milk tea. He fell in love with this hot drink after trying it last night. "Nurmengaard advocates strength, and their atmosphere here is more inclined to competition than cooperation."

"I understand, they are indeed very strong...but this atmosphere is too utilitarian and I don't like it very much." Hermione whispered.

"I thought first-year students would prefer a clear stratification of students?" Sean joked.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him angrily: "I just don't like falling behind in studies, but I don't like dividing people into thirds, sixths, and ninths!"

"Okay, it's just a joke. We don't have to worry about Nurmengard. Let's think about the new professor's class."

"Ah, yes! I still haven't memorized two knowledge points!" Hermione exclaimed and quickly spread a book on the long table.

Sean shrugged and continued to enjoy his breakfast.

After breakfast was over, they went to the Transfiguration classroom on the second floor. This was the first lesson of the day. Just like at Hogwarts, Nurmengard taught together with them.

The second grade students from both schools sat quietly in their seats. At 7:59, a resolute figure walked straight into the classroom.

It was Vita Rozier, the vice-principal of Nurmengard.

Professor Rosier seems to be just as difficult to get along with as Professor McGonagall, but she looks colder than Professor McGonagall.

"Turn the book to page 123." She started teaching directly without naming anyone.

As soon as the course started, Sean immediately felt the difference. Professor Rozier obviously taught more content at one time, and the learning progress in Nurmengard was much higher than that in Hogwarts.

For example, everyone is practicing now to transform a rabbit into a stuffed hat.

Professor Rosier's requirements are even stricter than Professor McGonagall's. Not only does she require that the plush hats created by everyone must not be the same color as the original rabbit, but the material of the plush hat must not be similar to the down of the rabbit itself.

At the same time, rabbit features are not allowed to appear on the transformed plush hat.

When transforming, some people will take tricks, such as keeping the rabbit's short tail. After all, it makes sense to have a small fur ball on a plush hat.

But Professor Rozier would not allow this kind of trickery.

Although they are all furry, this transformation is not easy. The students at Hogwarts have trouble even transforming into slippers, let alone this.

The students of Nurmengard were obviously much better than the guests. Before long, many people's rabbits had turned into plush hats that met the requirements.

However, when several second-year students looked over proudly and wanted to show off, Professor Rosier's voice rang out.

"Amazing... well done, Mr. Wallop, plus twenty to my personal score."

The original brown rabbit on Sean's table was gone. A gray plush hat was placed quietly on the table. There was a Christmas tree on the surface of the hat, and white snowflakes were falling quietly.

Hermione on the side also did well. Although she couldn't make snowflakes fall like Sean, she did better than anyone else present. She got five extra points.

Nurmengard's extra points are different from Hogwarts. They don't have a House Cup, and individual points can be used to offset deductions.

Yes, as long as you perform well enough in class, you can keep violating school rules - but few people do this, because personal points can be used to redeem things in the school during the holidays, such as the professor giving you Xiaozao tutoring. Or a book that must have been in the restricted area at Hogwarts.

Sean was very satisfied with today's performance, and only a few Nurmengard students were muttering sourly.

"Christmas is over... what the hell..."
