Chapter 930 Ivan: What Should I Do if I’m Too Popular?

"By the way, in addition, I am also planning to restart the duel club and gather all the students in the school to the auditorium every Friday afternoon to train their fighting skills." Ivan added.

This year, the very heavy Defense Against the Dark Arts course is missing from the teaching curriculum at Hogwarts. The students still have a lot of free time. As long as they adjust the other courses to avoid conflicts, an afternoon will be freed up on Friday. It's not difficult.

"That's a good note." Professor Flitwick nodded and said in agreement. "There are not many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors these years who are competent. They have to learn how to protect themselves in times of danger."

Seeing that Flitwick approved his plan, Ivan suddenly became interested and immediately told him his full plan to encourage students to learn independently.

"We can group students according to their respective houses and let them fight against each other. For example, Gryffindor and Slytherin houses have always had conflicts. It will definitely be interesting to arrange them together... Well, I mean they will definitely be very Trying hard to win.

Those who win each duel can get some credits, and finally we will add a lot of college points to the college with the most points, and use the honor of the college to motivate them to improve..."

Ivan kept talking, but Pomona Sprout on the side couldn't help interrupting. "Will this arrangement intensify conflicts between colleges? What if a student keeps losing and gets hit?"

Ivan shook his head and explained that as long as he experienced a few more battles, he would be able to roughly know the approximate magic level of each student.

After that, we can arrange similar opponents for them, and balance their strength through the guidance of the professors, so that everyone has a probability of defeating the opponent, and there will be no one-sided situation...

When he privately founded the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association last school year, he tried this method and the effect was very good, so Ivan planned to promote it to the entire school.

"In addition, I think Hogwarts should add a scholarship system to award honorary medals and generous scholarships to students who have achieved outstanding results." Ivan suggested, adding what he knew to improve learning enthusiasm. The strategies were all stated.

"This is not a small amount of money, Hals. If you want to establish a scholarship, I am afraid that it must be unanimously agreed by the school directors...and will the Ministry of Magic agree with us to train students?" Professor McGonagall said hesitantly, In the past, when Fudge was a minister, he was very wary of this.

"Don't worry, the new Minister Pierce is a very open-minded person and will definitely agree to our proposal. As for the school directors..." Ivan paused and then continued. "I believe they will understand that these measures are all for the better development of students."

Fudge had previously banned Hogwarts from training students in combat skills for two reasons. First, he was afraid that Dumbledore would organize students against him, and second, it was to facilitate the management of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, the weaker the combat ability of civilian wizards, the less worry the Ministry of Magic has. Therefore, combat-related magic skills such as silent spellcasting are not taught at Hogwarts and can only be taught by young wizards.

However, Ivan obviously has no such considerations. On the contrary, he hopes that the magical world will become more prosperous and even build a truly powerful magical civilization. This is why he explained the nature of magic to Harry and others in the last class.

"It's up to you, Hals, if you can convince the Ministry of Magic and the Board of Directors." Professor McGonagall didn't have any hope for this, but he didn't say anything to undermine Ivan's confidence. He just felt that he would understand it after the other party tried it. Reforming the education system is not an easy task.

While several people were chatting, a harsh scream suddenly sounded from behind.

"Oh my God, there are six of you sitting together to eat. This is... this is an ominous sign..."

Ivan and others were all startled by the sound, and turned their heads to look over with unfavorable expressions. Then they saw Trelawney covering her mouth and looking at them in shock.

"What's wrong? Sybil? This is no big deal, right? I need to remind you that it is very common for six people to have dinner together... no one will suffer bad luck from this!" Professor McGonagall said slightly annoyed.

"No, it's a matter of position... You may not have noticed that you have accidentally sat in a position that you shouldn't be sitting in." Trelawney said mysteriously, her face turned red, and she seemed to be struggling. As if squeezing something out of his mouth, he spoke in a weird tone.

"According to the prediction, the first one to leave the table will be... um um..."

Just as Trelawney was about to tell the result, she found that she couldn't open her mouth, and then she was dragged to the seat next to her by Ivan.

"Look, there are seven people now, and the position is meaningless!" Ivan shrugged and said. He did not dare to let Trelawney directly come to the conclusion. This crow's mouth is not generally accurate. …

Trelawney glared at Ivan angrily, seemingly dissatisfied with him for interrupting her prophecy.

Flitwick secretly gave Ivan a thumbs up. He had long been dissatisfied with Trelawney's nonsense, and he just tolerated it because everyone was colleagues.

…

In the next few days, everything went as usual. Ivan gradually became familiar with the professor's work process. In his spare time, he went to the library to read banned books to increase his magic knowledge reserve.

The only thing that gave Ivan a headache was that the little wizard was a little too enthusiastic. In addition, he said in class that if he had any questions, he could come to him for advice at any time. As a result, his rest time was repeatedly compressed, and there were many people there every day. I went to the library specifically to find him to answer my questions.

Among these people, less than one-third asked him seriously. The others came specifically to inquire about his legendary deeds...

Some junior witches even planned to ask him for autographs and put special marks on his courses, which made Ivan really dumbfounded.

I didn't expect that one day I would enjoy the same treatment as Lockhart...

"I really don't know how Lockhart can cope with so many fanatical fans..." Ivan muttered to himself mentally and physically exhausted after dealing with several witches who tried to harass him.

If he didn't want to destroy the perfect image he had created before, Ivan would have been prepared to imitate Snape, assume a posture of not letting strangers in, and blow them all away...
