Chapter 390： Exam in progress

The theoretical examination of 　　owls spells is not very difficult, and most of them are about the taboos of various spells and the reactions that occur under various specific conditions.

For example, during the use of the Flying Curse, you need to clearly read the name of the item you want to fly, and at the same time conceive the specific image of the item in your mind. At the same time, you also need to wave the magic wand accurately.

The first two parts of the above three points are pretty good, and if you make a mistake, it will only cause the consequences of the failure to release the Flying Curse.

But the last item is different. If you swing the wand in an error, the summoned item is likely to get out of control.

The consequences of losing control are quite terrible. In history, there are several well-known wizards who made mistakes in using the flying curse, causing the summoned items to speed up and were killed.

In addition, when using lethal beam spells like petrification spells, you must also ensure that you are in an open environment. Otherwise, if the wand being launched does not hit the target, it is likely to be in a small area. The environment keeps rebounding, thereby accidentally hurting other people.

These things are what Professor Flitwick has repeatedly emphasized in class. They belong to the kind of content that you can thoroughly master as long as you take notes and recite carefully. So to be honest, as the first exam for owls this year, strictly The officials of the Wizarding Examination Department of the Ministry of Magic had already given Hogwarts a face and made the examination difficult.

These things are naturally nothing to Mike, who has excellent grades in the spell class. He almost completed the exam without stopping and handed in the test papers without stopping.

"Oh? Have you finished writing?"

As the white-bearded wizard at the first place, he took Mike's test paper indifferently.

Generally speaking, few people will hand in papers in advance for such major exams. Even if they have been done ahead of time, candidates will use the remaining time to perform repeated checks.

You must know that this exam will affect the rest of their lives!

But there are not no people who hand in the paper in advance, I think this white beard wizard has seen many.

Without exception, these students who hand in papers in advance have either given up on their own or ignored the importance of the exam.

As for the remaining students who are extremely confident and capable of themselves, he has never seen one.

What's the joke? Where are so many geniuses in this world?

Thinking of that, the White Beard Wizard looked at Mike with a little bit of contempt and pity. In his opinion, Mike should be the stupid student of the first two.

"That's right." Mike said with a smile, "May I go now?"

"The exit is over there, please keep quiet when you leave."

Mike nodded, and left the auditorium in the envy of everyone in Ravenclaw.

Until Mike walked away completely, the white-bearded wizard sneered, shook his head and looked down at Mike's test paper.

But that's how he looked, he was surprised.

There was no other reason, because I saw that the test paper that Mike submitted was filled with answers, and as one of the testers of this test, the white beard wizard glanced at it and saw that most of the questions on this test paper were actually All done right!

The white beard wizard raised her head almost immediately and looked at the wizard who was in charge of invigorating Mike's area.

The latter has also been paying attention to the situation on the side of the white beard wizard, and immediately came forward to inquire about the situation.

But after inquiring about the situation, he slowly said:

"I was staring at him during the exam just now, and I can guarantee that he did not cheat."

The White Beard Wizard took a long breath, and kept nodding while thinking about Mike's test paper.

He doesn’t have the kind of stupid idea that Mike must have cheated. You must know that this auditorium now uses the most advanced anti-cheat facilities in the world. He prefers to believe that Mike is really a genius student. .

And even if Mike really cheated, they will still recognize each other's results.

Otherwise, when they questioned Mike's exam results, they would have denied their own ability as a proctor.

The invigilator beside 　　 seemed to emphasize the accuracy of his words. After thinking for a while, he attached to Baibeard's ear and whispered:

"The student was named McTowny just now. He seems to be Mr. Flitwick's closed disciple."

The white beard raised his eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"I see, this is indeed a good student." Baibeard said, "Mr. Flivy is blessed to find such an outstanding student, it is great."

The invigilator saw that Baibeard didn't mean to continue to question, he was relieved, and the two chatted again.

At this time, Mike was looking helplessly at Professor Flitwick who stopped him in front of him.

At this time, Professor Flitwick looked panicked. Since the beginning of the exam, he has been guarding the door, preparing to wait until the first student to greet him after the exam.

This is what he does every year, and this year is no exception.

It’s just that this year’s test **** activity seems to have some accidents, because his favorite student, Mike, came out early!

"Mike, why did you hand in your paper in advance!"

Looking at Professor Flitwick who was slightly panicked in front of him, Mike smiled and said:

"Yes, I think those topics are very simple."

"Then you shouldn't hand in your papers in advance! Check it a few more times, OK?" Professor Flitwick grabbed Mike by the arm and pushed open the door of the auditorium, "Go, I'll send you in again, you go Check it a few times!"

Mike looked dumbfounded, and it took a while before he reacted, hurriedly said:

"Forget it, professor. The invigilators will not agree, and I think I did a good job, or you can right the subject with me!"

Hearing the words, Professor Flivy's footsteps choked, after thinking for a while, he finally agreed to the proposal.

Because Professor Flivy had to wait for other students to come out, the two did not leave the auditorium too far, but chose a not far away to start the match.

To tell the truth, Mike actually hates matching questions, because in his opinion, the behavior of matching questions after the exam is meaningless. After all, the exam is over. What if you know your approximate score in advance?

If your grades are good, everyone is happy, but what if your grades are not satisfactory?

Isn’t this adding to the trouble?

But compared to his dislike of the question, Mike enjoys the process of getting along with Professor Flivy more.

And the two of them were only half-right about the question, the smile on Professor Flitwick’s face was already beyond words, because the result of the question was definitely not bad!

At this time, the door of the auditorium was opened again, and this time all the exam students came out.

The owls written test of spells is officially over.

Professor Flitwick greeted him with a smile on his face, greeted his students enthusiastically, hugged and celebrated with those students who were excited, and sincerely encouraged those students who were obviously not very emotional.

Mike looked at Professor Flitwick in the crowd with a smile not far away. From any angle, Professor Flitwick is definitely an excellent professor!

"Mike!"

A familiar voice sounded from the side, and Mike looked at it and saw that the Harry trio had already appeared beside him.

Both Harry and Ron's expressions were quite excited, and they looked like they were doing well.

But to Mike's surprise, Hermione next to them had her head down and her face full of unhappy.

"Hello."

"It's very good indeed!" Ron replied rushingly, "I feel that I did a good job on the test. I have answered most of the questions. It seems that I should be able to get the olws certificate for magic spells."

Harry laughed when he heard the words:

"Thanks to Hermione and Professor Flitwick, they both made very accurate arbitration two days ago!"

Mike smiled and congratulated, and then looked at Hermione who was aside:

"Hermione, what's wrong with you, did you fail the exam?"

"I feel terrible. I'm not sure if I answered the last question correctly." Hermione's eyes were red, and even her voice was crying. "If that question is really wrong, then I can't take it. It's full mark!"

Mike was speechless for a while, and Harry and Ron were also embarrassed.

They had anticipated many reasons for Hermione's discomfort, but they never thought that Hermione was uncomfortable because she might not get a perfect score.

How can Harry and Ron live, who are still rejoicing that they will pass the exam?

"Heh...hehe, let's not talk about this, let's go eat." Mike grudgingly said, "There is a practical exam for spell learning in the afternoon. We will go to rest and replenish our strength after eating."

Harry and Ron, who were in embarrassment, quickly said yes, so everyone took Hermione, who was still sad, to the makeshift restaurant.

I don’t know if it was due to the visit of the leaders of the Ministry of Magic. The food at Hogwarts today was exceptionally rich. Although it was not as good as the Christmas dinners of previous years, it was not much worse.

Compared with the morning, the atmosphere in the restaurant is much more relaxed. Many students are taking advantage of the lunch opportunity to confront their classmates, including Hermione.

And the officials of the Wizarding Examination Department on the faculty seats were chatting and laughing with the professors at Hogwarts.

They live at Hogwarts for two weeks almost every year, and they have long been acquainted with the professors at Hogwarts.

As for Umbridge, although she also wanted to join this fiery banquet, she was helpless except for a few spooky young people in the wizard examination department. Almost every one of the elderly officials was willing to take notice. her.

After the lunch break, the owls' spell learning practice exam was held. The venue for this exam was set at the large-scale spell training field dedicated to the spell class.

As for the newl’s curse practice test, it was in the arena used for the Hogwarts duel. It was spacious enough and far away from Hogwarts, enough for the graduates to play freely. Own magic.

The officials who invigilated Mike and others were still those in the morning, but the difference from the morning was that they all put on neat protective gear this time.

And Mike also found that their eyes always fell on him from time to time, and they carried kindness in their eyes. Mike knew that Professor Flitwick must have greeted them, so he smiled and responded to their eyes. .

once again smiled friendly at Mike, the white beard wizard said:

"Students, this time our exam content is divided into two parts. The first part requires you to skillfully use the spells of ‘flaming raging’, ‘thunderbolt explosion’ and ‘faint to the ground’ to hit the target.”

said that the white beard pointed at the puppet targets about twenty meters away before continuing:

"The second part is that you need to use spells like Feilai. Of course, due to limited time, each of you only needs to use two spells, but the spells used need to be extracted. ?"

Most of the students who were still very nervous after hearing this were relieved, the practical exam of the spell learning was much less difficult than they originally expected.

But this is not surprising to Mike. You must know that the owls exam is only the lowest degree in the wizarding society. This exam is mainly used to screen out those wizards who are qualified to study the newl advanced courses. The difficulty must not be too high.

Seeing the students' expressions relaxed, the white beard wizard nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered the draw to begin.

The lottery uses a huge white cloth pocket with countless paper strips inside. These paper strips are magically moved in the pocket until they are caught. In order to ensure the fairness of the lottery, That huge cloth pocket is made of fire dragon leather. The strong anti-magic nature of the fire dragon leather makes most cheating methods are eliminated.

didn't know if it was lucky or unfortunate. When Mike took out the note from his cloth pocket, he was surprised to find that an I was clearly written in black ink on it, which meant that he was the first person to take the exam.

After seeing this, many people cast sympathetic eyes on him. The first one to play in this kind of exam will undoubtedly be under tremendous pressure Mike doesn't care too much about it, after all, he treats himself. The spell has absolute confidence.

It would be better to say that the first test did what he wanted, because then he would be the first to leave the test room without having to endure the long waiting time.

"Come on, Mike." The white-bearded wizard said kindly, "Your test question is to hit the target over there with the flame curse and use the flying curse to summon the roll of parchment in my hand. I will give you a minute to prepare. , You can use this time to observe the parchment in my hand so that you can write down its appearance completely."

"No, sir." Mike said confidently, "I'm ready, I can start anytime."

Hearing the words, the white beard was taken aback, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned away and made a please gesture.

Mike chuckled and took out his wand. These two tests were not at all difficult for him, so he was going to work the whole time.

Under all eyes, Mike didn't chant a spell or wield a magic wand at all. He pointed directly at the distant target.

The next moment, a miniature fireball appeared in the air and flew towards the distant target at an extremely slow speed.

Seeing this, many people took a step back instinctively. You should know that Mike’s flame curse is famous. Everyone does not think that the flying speed in front of him is extremely slow, and even the swaying little fireball will look like his appearance. The one that went up was so weak.

There are even many people who are ready for the huge explosion.

However, everyone was stunned when the fireball actually touched the target.
