Chapter 382 Eighth Grade (Additional Update for 1,200 Monthly Tickets)
Principal Dippet was silent for a moment, then took out his wand. Under the influence of his magic power, all the teachers' desks were arranged end to end in a circle, with no prioritization. He motioned for Dumbledore to sit down as well, and everyone gathered around to discuss the matter.
"First of all, during the exam, Mike sat in front of me. He was the student closest to me." Principal Dippet said: "I watched him answer every paper, and I watched him persist until Finally. That kid’s physical strength is much better than mine, I have to admit that. He can achieve this result, we must first be happy for him, because it is indeed achieved through his talent and hard work."
"According to the rules and final results of this exam, Mike will enroll and graduate at the same time. This is also a record for the school, but do you think this is appropriate?" Principal Dippet saw that Dumbledore wanted to speak. , first stretched out his hand to signal him to wait. "This exam is a purely written exam. There are no practical questions and it is incomplete. And I also know Mike's situation. He has a lot of trouble releasing spells. If it is a magic spell practical exam, he will not be able to Passed, this is also the actual situation. Right, Professor Dumbledore?"
"Michael can use spells, but the spell language he uses is different from ours. His companion Ado also has similar troubles. I think this is probably caused by cultural customs." Dumbledore did not mention Druids. He only explained a few words about the matter, but when he saw Principal Dippet's stern look, he also admitted: "According to the general examination standards, he will not pass the Charms class."
"Failing the Charms class will lead to a series of problems, such as divination, arithmetic, potions, and transfiguration. These all require the participation of magic. So I think that according to the general examination method, let alone the ultimate wizard level examination, It's the ordinary wizard level exam, and he probably won't be able to pass it at all."
"But the exam plan is fixed, and his results cannot be overturned." Dumbledore frowned.
"You are right, so my suggestion is that the school recognizes this score, so it should be reported to the Ministry of Magic based on the actual score he passed all exams." Principal Dippet's words went beyond Dumbledore's expectations, admitting that the score is indeed is good news. The principal then said: "But in order to be responsible for the students, because Mike does have many defective courses, letting him leave Hogwarts like this is a sign of our failure to do our duty, so I am not prepared to let him graduate. "
Professor Binns shook his head: "I don't understand. The school recognized his grades that were good enough for graduation but refused to let him graduate. What's going on?"
Dumbledore stroked his beard. He had figured out Principal Dippet's strategy, so he sat firmly on his buttocks and found a comfortable position on his back. It has to be said that although Dippet is a bit snobbish and likes to divide factions, he is indeed an experienced principal in how to use factions and forces.
"If we report it like this, the Ministry of Magic will definitely explode! Who wants to go with me to see their expressions?" Principal Dippet laughed, then waved his hand and said, "I guess the Ministry of Magic will put forward a lot of objections. Come, and it is very possible to come up with the method of random inspection. Once Mike's magic class is randomly checked, it is likely to cause greater trouble, such as questioning the validity of this exam, which may affect all Candidates.”
When the professors heard this, they all put away their smiles, sat up straight and listened carefully. Principal Dippet said: "If that happens, we will settle for the next best thing and recognize the results, but will not allow him to graduate until Mike is willing to complete practical exams. He is an excellent student and will only be better in the future. Excellent, I think if Hogwarts only gives him less than four months as a student, it will be a loss to him and the school. What if we want to keep him, even if it means creating an eighth grade?"
The professors thought for a while, then exchanged opinions with each other, and after comprehensive consideration of possible scenarios, even Dumbledore felt that this was the safest solution and did not raise any objections, and no one else had any objections. Principal Dippet finally said: "As teachers at Hogwarts, we must unite at this time to get this matter done for the students and the school. There is no doubt that Mike passed the exam. At the same time, we Also be prepared in advance. He will be emotional because he cannot graduate, so he must pay attention to the psychological guidance of students. Dumbledore, you can take the time to reveal it to Mike in advance so that he has certain psychological preparation. By the way, ask him Are there any requirements? After the exam, we will have many more students, so we can no longer treat them differently."
Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, nodded, and said nothing. The matter was thus settled.
Zhao Mai's paper was read more slowly because it had been reviewed several times. Others' papers were not so cumbersome. After another three days in total, all the results were released, but only the professors and the principal knew about it, and they were not disclosed to the outside world. announced. The students had been eagerly awaiting the results, but after waiting a whole week they still had no idea. They went to Professor Dumbledore to ask, and the reply they received was just "wait for a while, everyone will know."
Zhao Mai was the least anxious among everyone, especially after Professor Dumbledore talked to him in advance. Zhao Mai knew that he would either graduate directly or stay for a while. In short, he would definitely obtain the status of a wizard. So he went in and out of the library and herb room every day, checking information and preparing several potions, which seemed very busy. He was always accompanied by Tolkien and Hodor, and a dog carrying a heavy load. Zhao Mai believes that food storage requires exercise, and you cannot relax the cultivation of basic physical fitness just because you can teleport. Every day, he either tied a sandbag like a food reserve, or used his psychic powers to continuously pressurize himself. He would only relax when preparing potions.
After all, magic potions are for people to drink and require precise proportions and preparation. Out of a responsible attitude, you should go all out at this time, and it is not appropriate to add weight.
"Mike, come with me." Professor Dumbledore found Zhao Mai at the door of the library. Judging from the relaxed expression on his face, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
Zhao Mai nodded, put the book he just borrowed under his arm, and followed Dumbledore to his office. "Principal Dippet just informed me not long ago that all results can be released to the public. Your situation is the most special. The Ministry of Magic ultimately does not want you to graduate directly and has put some pressure on the school. You all know these situations. The final decision is that you will become a student of Hogwarts, only divided into houses, not grades. During the school period, you can take any course offered to students. It doesn’t matter whether you take the school’s test or not. But the Ministry of Magic It is required that you decide your own time and take the practical exams for potions, spells, flying and transfiguration. Only after passing the exam will you be issued a certificate of passing for the Ultimate Wizard Level Examination, which will be considered an official graduation."
This is basically the same result as Principal Dippet expected at the time, except that there are three more practical exams. Potions, spells and transformation are the basis of all wizards' abilities. Dumbledore also believes that these three exams will only promote rather than punish Mike, so he has no objection. And he also knew very well that Zhao Mai didn't know how to cast spells, but he just didn't cast them in the usual way. By staying here first and then slowly trying to change the unreasonable restrictions in grading, Mike passed the three exams without any problems.
"What do you think?"
"I'm very satisfied with this." Zhao Mai said: "Can I ask if I have passed the ordinary wizard level exam?"
"Yes, there is no problem with that one." Dumbledore tilted his head and asked, "Why do you care about this exam?"
"Mrs. Farrant needs to confirm my test scores before letting me go to the advanced curses area." Zhao Mai replied: "I am still studying the curse on the plague. Professor Dumbledore, has Grindelwald not replied yet? "
