Chapter 464 Classroom Knowledge, the End of Ordinary People's Struggle

"Can we start the class?" Xilin asked, and the others looked at Aaron expectantly.

"Should we ask them to write down the Defense Against the Dark Arts spells and dangerous creatures they know?" Draco said with interest, "I bet 90% of them can't beat me."

"No need." Aaron sighed slightly, and then walked to the podium.

He looked at the thirty pairs of eyes below seriously, "I have a few things to say before we officially start.

First, my teaching method is different from that of our previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, so you have to be mentally prepared.

Second, if you have any questions, it's best to ask me in class, because I won't pay attention to you after class, except for the two Slytherins.

Finally, and most importantly, don't ever say that I taught you."

The people sitting on the cushions looked at each other. They understood the first two points, but the third point was a bit confusing.

"Why can't you say that you taught us?" Colin Creevey asked with his right hand raised high.

"I'm afraid of losing face." Aaron said very bluntly, not caring that some people's faces had turned dark.

"I didn't think about teaching so many people from the beginning. They are of different ages and have different levels. It's very troublesome to teach them.

To be honest, I don't have the confidence to teach each of you well.

But since I promised, I will do my best to improve your practical ability.

Are there any more questions, Mr. Creevey?"

"Well...no more." Colin slowly put his hand down.

"Then let's start the class." Aaron said lightly, and then a blackboard appeared behind him, with more than a dozen different spells on it.

"Is this the spell we are going to learn?" Dean asked excitedly.

"I don't expect you to know all of them." Aaron said with some tiredness, and then changed the subject, "But before teaching you these spells, I have to teach you something else."

After the voice fell, the second blackboard appeared, but there was no spell. From top to bottom, it was:

Magician Apprentice, Junior Magician, Intermediate Magician, Senior Magician, Mage, Mage, Grand Mage, Holy Mage, God of Magic.

The thirty students looked at the second blackboard, all of them felt awe-inspiring, and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor didn't mention it much. Maybe they think it's common sense that you should know, or maybe they deliberately avoided it."

"Senior, no, teacher..." Colin's younger brother Dennis raised his hand weakly.

"Any questions?"

"Can you explain it in detail?" Dennis asked curiously and nervously.

"Country bumpkin." Draco curled his lips in disdain.

"This is based on the strength of the wizards." Fred explained, "You are a Muggle-born wizard, and you have only been exposed to magic for a year. It is normal that you don't understand it.

I remember my father said that the magic energy of wizards will increase with age. Talent determines the growth rate of magic energy and the upper limit of their own strength."

"Is that so?" Dennis suddenly realized, "Then what level am I at now?"

"How should I know, but you are too young now, so you shouldn't be much higher."

"You are at most an intermediate magician now." Aaron said very directly, "and you are not very strong among intermediate magicians."

Dennis's face inevitably showed disappointment. Among the nine levels, he could only rank third from the bottom.

"What about you, teacher?"

"Keep it secret." Aaron showed an unfathomable smile, and then drew a dividing line between the magician and the great magician, "The magician in the wizarding world is the elite, and it is also the pinnacle of many people's lives."

"What about the great magician?" Michael Conner asked curiously.

"Of course there are, but there are very few. Even the Ministry of Magic can't find a few, and quite a few are over fifty years old.

The first few stages of these nine levels are nothing, but the gap becomes bigger and harder to improve as time goes on."

Li raised his right hand, pointed at the 'Holy Magister' on the blackboard, and asked nervously: "Are there not many at this stage?"

"How should I put it? I'm not sure." Aaron spread his hands, "But I can give you a few references, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin."

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another, and every student was surprised.

They only knew that the four founders of Hogwarts were the four greatest wizards at the time, but they didn't expect them to be so powerful.

"Aren't they all gods of magic?" McMillan asked with some doubts.

"No." Aaron said confidently, "So far, no one has seen the living god of magic, but everyone is familiar with the one that exists in the legend, Merlin."

There was an uproar below, and many people took a breath of cold air.

"Legends are too far away for you." Aaron said lightly, and then pointed to the line he drew, "If nothing unexpected happens, this line is the pinnacle of your life's struggle.

The closer you are to this line, the brighter your future will be. Good jobs and superior material conditions will be easier to obtain.

And above this line is the capital to lie flat and rot. You may be the object of competition among various forces, or you may be an explorer in a certain field."

"Cool!"

George and Fred exclaimed at the same time.

"It's pretty cool, but that's not what I want to talk about." Aaron chuckled, "What you all want to learn in this classroom is nothing more than Defense Against the Dark Arts, in other words, to improve your own strength.

As Fred said before, magic energy will increase with age, and talent determines the growth rate of magic energy.

For wizards, it is not the case that the older you are, the stronger your strength will be. If your talent is good enough, you may be able to defeat wizards in their teens.

But if your talent is poor, then sorry, you will be the one who is defeated."

"To some extent, bloodline is another name for talent." Draco raised his eyebrows proudly, "This is the difference between Slytherin and other colleges."

"Bloodline cannot represent talent." Hermione said a little angrily.

"This sentence is correct, but it is not completely correct." Aaron said, "Bloodline does bring a certain bonus to talent, but it does not mean that wizard bloodline is superior.

Many pure-blood families will not produce a great magician in hundreds of years, but talented wizards from Muggle families may not be unable to achieve it."

Draco curled his lips and stopped talking.

"What if you have poor talent?" Colin asked.

"Then you have to catch up in other aspects. Talent only determines the upper limit and growth rate of strength, and does not represent your own combat power level.

To give the simplest example, a wizard who doesn't know any basic spells may not be able to beat even an intermediate magician who only knows the disarming spell.

If you don't believe it, you can recall Gilderoy Lockhart, the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course three years ago. His magic power is definitely better than most people present, but I think he may not be able to beat Dennis, a second-year student, in a one-on-one duel."

"Oh!" Colin nodded as if he understood.

"If there is a gap in strength, but you know the same number of spells, can you tie?" Zacharias Smith asked.

"That depends on how big the gap in strength is." Aaron said speechlessly, "In addition, this question is not technical at all.

To give another simple example, if you and Merlin both know only a disarming spell, do you think you can beat him?"

"This..." Smith's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head blankly.

There is nothing wrong with this example, but it is too heartbreaking.

How can he be compared with Merlin? Even if he only knows a disarming spell, no one in the current magic world will be his opponent.

"Do you understand now?" Aaron said, and then spread out four fingers, "The combat effectiveness of a wizard depends on four aspects. The first is his own magic energy, which is also the most important point.

Magic energy is the foundation of a wizard, and it is also the greatest confidence for you to face the enemy in the future.

The higher the magic energy, the greater the magic power released. When using the same magic spell, wizards with higher magic energy have more advantages.

These levels on the blackboard are the most obvious dividing lines. A powerful wizard can easily destroy a building, a powerful great wizard can destroy a city, and a holy wizard even has the capital to challenge a country."

The second is one's own accumulation. A wizard with the same magic level uses a sleeping spell and the other uses an unforgivable curse. The latter is obviously more advantageous.

When the strength gap is not large, using a more powerful spell will also add a heavyweight to the scale of victory. "

"I have a small question. "Luna raised her hand and said, "When wizards use magic, their own magic power is also consumed. If the consumption in the battle is too great..."

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Aaron clapped his hands and gave Luna an appreciative look, "This question is quite advanced.

But I attribute it to the third aspect, which is combat experience."

"Fluorescent flashes."

Aaron's wand tip has a blue-white light, illuminating the position of the podium.

"Next is the second stage."

Aaron increased the output of magic power, and the light ball at the tip of the wand became brighter, including everyone under the podium in the range of the aperture.

"The third stage. "

A burst of strong white light was released from the magic wand, illuminating the entire Room of Requirement as bright as day.

When the light faded, the thirty students sitting below were stunned and could not react for a long time.

They all knew a little bit of the Luminescent Spell, but with their current abilities, even if they desperately infused magic power, they could not achieve the effect just now, let alone be as calm as Aaron.

"Senior." Luna said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "How strong are you now?"

"I told you to keep it a secret." Aaron said unhappily.

"It shouldn't matter if you reveal a little bit!" Luna asked with blinking eyes, "You are a teacher, you have to let us students have a general understanding!"

"I know..."

"Silently."

Harry was about to speak when Aaron cast a silencing spell and made him unable to make any sound.

He hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that he would not say more, and Aaron waved his wand to remove the spell.

Looking at the curious students below, Aaron was also a headache.

Revealing strength, that is impossible, and a general understanding is not possible either.

He has been hiding for several years, and even Dumbledore and his ancestors do not know his true strength, let alone you students.

"Uh... Let's put it this way! I can't beat Dumbledore."

"What kind of answer is that?" Draco said speechlessly, "We all can't beat Dumbledore, can you give me a reference?"

Aaron thought for a moment, "You can't beat me."

"That's even more nonsense, we definitely can't beat you." Fred said.

Harry's mouth twitched, he knew what Aaron meant, he probably meant that all thirty of them combined couldn't beat him.

"That's all I can say, I can't help it if you're not satisfied."

"Where were we talking about just now?" Hermione asked, changing the subject in time, "Battle experience, right?"

"Yes, battle experience." Aaron came back to his senses and continued: "The speed and accuracy of using spells, the control of magic power consumption, one's own physical fitness, dodge ability and adaptability can all determine the outcome of a battle."

"What about the fourth aspect?" Xilin asked.

"The fourth aspect is the objective factor." Aaron smacked his lips and said, "First, the wizard's tools, such as the wand.

A suitable wand can maximize the wizard's strength, while an unsuitable wand may even have a counterproductive effect at a critical moment.

I have personally witnessed a powerful wizard duel with an ant that he could easily crush to death, just because their wands had the same origin, which led to a flashback spell.

This spell connects the two people's spells together, and the greater the attack, the greater the resistance, which eventually led to the duel ending in a draw."

"Is there such a thing?" Michael asked in surprise.

"Under normal circumstances, it won't happen, but the relationship between the two people is so deep that I was not surprised at all when they cast the flashback spell."

"Hiss!"

Harry subconsciously covered his forehead, and inexplicably felt that the lightning-shaped scar suddenly burned like fire.

"Harry, are you okay?" Ron asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Harry smiled forcibly, and then gave Aaron a resentful look: It's a bit unfair to use me as an example.

Aaron turned his head away without caring. If he hadn't stopped him quickly, this guy would probably have told others about his achievements. He should have given him a forgetfulness spell at that time.

"Nowadays, wizards are used to using wands, but..." Aaron paused, put the wand on the podium, and then snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire was held in his hand.

"Wandless casting." Luna said in shock, looking at Aaron with a bit of surprise.

"You know?"

"Ravenclaws are all interested in knowledge. I read about this casting technique in a book."

"Can we learn it?" Ron asked with interest. He had suffered from the inappropriate wand. In the second grade, he used an old wand that he didn't know how many times he had used it. It was very difficult to cast magic.

But there was nothing they could do about it, after all, their family was too poor to buy a new wand, but if they could learn this skill, the family would definitely be able to save a lot of money in the future.
