Chapter 179 One of the Dark Lord’s lifelong wishes is

Ivan kept complaining in his mind, but Tom Riddle's concern for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class surprised him.

Tom Riddle didn't care when he didn't get a reply from Ivan, and just kept complaining in his diary.

[How could Dumbledore find such a person to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts? 】

Tom Riddle, who followed Ivan and had contact with Lockhart several times, naturally easily saw through the reality of this new professor.

He's just an arrogant and incompetent fool who's vain and keen to express himself.

The only thing that made Tom a little strange was how the other party wrote those best-selling books and still gained public recognition.

[I think you can teach better than this guy] Tom finally wrote this at the end of his diary.

This was both a joke and an expression of Tom's recognition and emotion towards the little wizard in front of him.

In the past discussion and learning process, Tom consciously found out the other party's details. Ivan's understanding of basic magic spells was not inferior to that of a normal adult wizard.

Although there is still a big gap between the level of teaching professors, no matter how you look at it, it is better than the idiot Lockhart.

Ivan didn’t agree with Tom’s remarks at all.

He knew who held this position and who was unlucky. He felt that Tom must be secretly trying to harm him.

Just as Ivan was thinking this, the system's beep sounded in his mind.

[Ding, activate the mission: The Dark Lord’s Wish

Mission objective: Tom Riddle teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts classes directly or indirectly

Mission reward: Legend point*1

Mission description: One of Voldemort's wishes is to serve as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, when he made this request with great expectations, Dumbledore, the then principal, rejected him without hesitation!

Voldemort became so angry that he turned this obsession into a curse. From then on, any teacher who taught the subject could only teach for one year at most! 】

The sudden mission prompt surprised Ivan. He never knew that Voldemort had such a wish.

When watching "Harry Potter" in his previous life, Ivan thought that Voldemort wanted to teach in the school because he planned to spread his evil ideas there, or that he planned to steal all the relics of the Big Four and make them into Horcruxes to satisfy his needs. collection habit.

But he never thought that the Dark Lord really had the idea of ​​becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But thinking about it carefully, Ivan felt that this was indeed the case. If he hadn't been deeply resentful of the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, there would be no need for Voldemort to use this powerful curse here.

And the goal of the curse is clear, to drive away one professor a year, but the process of "evicting" may be a bit intense, causing some casualties.

Could it be that Voldemort was planning for the day when Dumbledore would have no one to recruit, and he would be able to remember the snake-faced young man who was driven away by him?

Ivan kept making malicious guesses in his mind, and what made him even more confused was why Voldemort didn't continue to use this curse since he had it.

Wouldn't it be better to directly curse the position of the headmaster, curse the school's collapse, or even simply curse Dumbledore himself?

Ivan thought maybe this curse had conditions to activate?

Can it only be activated once in a lifetime? Or do you have a strong obsession with something?

Looking at the diary in front of him, Ivan thought, wouldn't it be better to just ask himself?

Thinking of this, Ivan picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, and wrote on it.

[I heard from senior students that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has been cursed. Tom, do you know anything about the curse? 】

Ivan still wants the legendary points as a reward.

If there was a way to break the curse, Ivan wouldn't mind applying for the title of assistant teacher in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and then letting the Horcrux assist him in preparing lessons to accomplish this task.

Moreover, Ivan is also very interested in this powerful curse magic. It seems that even Dumbledore has nothing to do with this curse, otherwise it would have been solved long ago.

Unfortunately, after Ivan waited for a while, Tom humbly replied in his diary.

[Curse? I don't have much experience in this area so I can't teach you. 】

Ivan didn't believe it at all, but there was nothing he could do against Tom for a while.

When asked about Li Huo last time, Tom also kept silent and directly said no. I wonder if he was worried that after he learned Li Huo, he would use this to burn him.

Unable to lift the curse, Ivan had no choice but to forget about this mission.

He couldn't give the Horcrux to Lockhart and let Tom control Lockhart to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, right?

Although Lockhart's recent behavior has made Ivan a little annoyed, Ivan does not intend to deliberately trap him.

More importantly, this behavior leads to some unpredictable consequences. It would be bad if Tom is resurrected accidentally.

All kinds of concerns made Ivan look at the diary more and more unpleasantly.

Fortunately, nowadays, Horcruxes have become less and less useful to Ivan, and he has a new learning plan, so he immediately decided to refrigerate Tom for a while to let this bastard sober up.

Thinking of this, Ivan put the diary in his pocket, took out the tattered "Advanced Potion Making" and started reading it. Within two minutes of reading, the system's beep sounded in his mind.

[Ding, after a period of study, your Potions proficiency has improved. Your current Potions level 4 (1467/1600)]

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the book in his hand a little more eagerly. He felt that maybe after reading this book, he would be able to advance to level five in potion science.

After half a day of class, Ivan returned to the hall to have lunch.

Harry on the side complained about the boring classes in the morning. "Wouldn't Lockhart do anything more than tell stories?"

"Yes!" Ron said while biting a piece of shortbread. "I heard someone say that Lockhart had a cage of Cornish elves for everyone to catch in another class."

"What's the result?" Ivan put down the textbook in his hand and asked curiously.

"It got out of control. Lockhart was hung from the ceiling by a group of elves. Professor McGonagall rushed over in time and put him down!" Ron shook his head regretfully, thinking that must be very interesting, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Didn't see it with my own eyes.

"No wonder" Ivan murmured, and he asked why Lockhart had stopped causing trouble recently and turned to telling stories. It turned out that he had already been embarrassed once.

Ron was going to continue telling some interesting things about Lockhart, but seeing Hermione walking towards this side, Ivan told him to shut up, otherwise there would be another quarrel.

(PS: In the sixth part, [Dumbledore said to Harry: Since I rejected Voldemort, no Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has been able to teach for more than one year] This shows that the curse should be real.)
