Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

The way Gretel teaches classes is obviously different from all the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers in the past.

Except for the first and second grade students who need to learn basic skills, Grete puts them indoors.

For the remaining grades, Gretel chose to go outdoors. What he wanted to teach was not the spells written in the book, but to put himself in their shoes and let the wizards master the ability to protect themselves.

This is exactly Gretel's understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Generally speaking, the ability of elite students who graduate from Hogwarts to cast spells is basically several steps behind wild wizards.

However, if there is a real life-and-death struggle, or if the two are put in the same crisis environment, the survival rate of Hogwarts graduates will not even be half of that of wizards in the wild.

The difference is that one is exquisite glass produced in a scripted Hogwarts factory. It looks good and is easy to use, but its safety is not guaranteed and is likely to break at a touch.

As for wizards in the wild, they are not standard and come in all kinds of weird ways, but in order to survive, they temper themselves into clay, bluestone, and even steel.

They may not necessarily look good if they are easy to use, but their will to survive and their ability to survive, which they have honed through hard work, are far superior to those of orthodox wizards.

This is the wisdom of life. In their hands, there is no distinction between black magic spells or white magic spells. As long as they can ensure their own safety and benefit their own survival, they can master all the magic spells they know.

Of course, Gretel is not disparaging Hogwarts people, he is a member of Hogwarts himself.

The purpose of saying these words to the students in front of him was to make them forget about the customized framework when compiling textbooks.

To this end, he provided arrangements for practical courses to all students in the seven grades of the four houses of Hogwarts.

After that, they spent a lot of time on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, in the open space opposite Hagrid's hut, to create an outdoor practice classroom for Defense Against the Dark Arts, a maze created with the Traceless Stretch Charm.

It includes all natural environments in nature, jungles, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, cities...

These places have one thing in common: traps, traps, and magical creatures can be found everywhere...

However, unlike traps with limited lethality, the magical creatures were brainwashed and controlled by Gretel before entering the maze, lest he accidentally send any student to death.

This space, which has been expanded to dozens of kilometers by the Traceless Stretching Spell, is divided into low, medium and high according to the difficulty.

The low difficulty level is just an ordinary maze, but a little bigger. There are only various traps in it, and the purpose is to cultivate the wizard's sense of crisis.

All students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will receive an elementary difficulty pass badge from Gretel that can only be used once every time they take a class.

They can come here and practice at any time outside of class.

The reason for limiting the number of times is not because of capacity, but simply to ensure students have rest time.

After all, the wall outside the maze will display everyone's clearance record in real time. The longer you persist, the higher your ranking will be.

Gretel knew how crazy rankings could make people, so in order to ensure that there would be no overnight playthroughs that would affect the next day's class, he chose to turn off the unlimited playback function.

Every month, the top ten people will receive an additional medium difficulty pass badge prepared by Gretel.

At the medium difficulty level, in addition to traps, some "interesting" little monsters are added, such as boggarts, ghouls, slugs, trolls, etc.

And starting from the medium difficulty level, gifts prepared by Gretel for them may appear everywhere in the maze, including but not limited to gold galleons, magic potions prepared by Gretel, and interesting magic props...

Of course, in addition to earning medals by ranking, you can also redeem the qualifications for medium-difficulty pass badges by accumulating the time you have passed through elementary difficulty levels.

In addition to these two methods, there is another way to successfully clear the elementary maze.

Those who clear the level will automatically gain access to the medium maze.

As for the high difficulty, Gretel is not ready yet. After all, he plans to stuff some dark wizards into the high difficulty.

But at Hogwarts, students are the most important. No matter how much he promised, no one supported his proposal.

Both the far-sighted Dumbledore and Gretel's most trusted Snape also made it clear that they did not support it.

Gretel thought about it and realized that it was true. Hogwarts is a magic school, not a military school.

Defense Against the Dark Arts class is to teach them the ability to protect themselves, but it is not to become a sole Auror.

After a while, these students who participated in the new Defense Against Dark Arts class were completely opened their minds.

The boulders falling from the sky can be dealt with using crushing spells, floating spells, and shrinking spells.

If the ground suddenly collapses, you can also think of using the rope generated by rapid confinement to build a rope bridge for yourself.

When encountering traps that cannot be solved, Gretel will also teach them targeted spells after the end.

…

After confirming that this model can indeed quickly increase students' self-protection ability, Grete found an opportunity to return to Dawn.

In Moldova, a much larger challenge space was created to hone the combat capabilities of Dawn members.

Even Grete doesn't know how powerful Shuguang will be if one day in the future everyone in Dawn can successfully pass the maze he built.

In addition to teaching, Grete did not give up his own research.

Just as he said when negotiating with Dumbledore, in this society where Muggles as a whole have completely surpassed wizards as a whole, wizards want to fight for their own rights.

The stupidest way is to start a war.

Wizards and Muggles, for example, now know each other as two completely different races.

Under the premise of such different races, once a war starts, it will inevitably develop into a life-and-death battle filled with gunpowder and smoke. All the living forces of the other side will inevitably be wiped out before it can be stopped.

At that time, there will no longer be any peaceful integration or coexistence between the two sides.

Therefore, Grete has always attached great importance to the development of public opinion within Shuguang. For everyone, ideological education classes are indispensable every week.

Let everyone understand Dawn's mission and original intention to prevent this big ship from going astray.

In addition to developing combat power and ensuring the purity of his thoughts, Gretel's most important thing is the research institute that was listed as a key development project when Sugon was founded.

Although Gretel went to Hogwarts, this did not affect the remaining people to continue their research.

Gretel left them with many topic ideas, such as extracting anticoagulant and antiviral factors from vampire blood, and studying to extend their activity in non-magical states.

Also, study the magical properties of Boggarts that can see through people's hearts and try to extract them. This can be applied to human-computer interaction that the Muggle world has always longed for breakthroughs.

Furthermore, through the induction of magic, the seeds can make breakthroughs in the direction of high yield and disease resistance. In this regard, idealistic magic is much more convenient than a little research by Muggles.

…

There are hundreds of research projects left by Gretel. No matter how talented people at Dawn are, it will be enough for them to study for decades.

And no matter which one of these projects yields results, it can guarantee that Dawn will become a welcome existence in any Muggle country.

However, until Gretel joins the magical world, they still cannot carry the Dawn brand and interact with Muggles.

To this end, the squib comrades within Dawn went to various Muggles and registered corresponding technology or biological companies, in order to ensure that when Dawn made results, they could be applied in the Muggle world immediately.

Over time, Dawn will become an indispensable part of the Muggle world. At that time, we can begin to gradually promote the integration of wizards and Muggles.

As a group of wizards who were excluded from Muggle society in the past, if they want to integrate into human society again, they must first make these indispensable contributions.

Moreover, Dawn's actions are not free. Registering a company and guaranteeing interests are just to prevent the Muggle world from burning bridges.

After it develops to a certain scale, any party that wants to overturn the table must consider whether they can withstand the subsequent turmoil.

Just like Dawn's operational purpose, we will not be the first to start a war, but we will never be afraid of war.

As for Gretel, apart from attending classes, he didn't waste the rest of his time. He also had something to study, and it might be much more important than the projects being studied in Dawn Research Laboratory.

Although, so far, he has not produced any research results.

But he believes that behind the magic particles, there must be an infinite treasure.

After all, after comparing the magic particles in Muggles with the magic particles in wizards, Gretel determined that apart from their activity, there was no fundamental difference between them.

Just as Grindelwald speculated, perhaps the magic power of wizards may come from the entire human group.

According to Gretel's imagination, perhaps, the day he thoroughly researches the magic particles will be the beginning of everyone's mastery of magic.

When there is no progress in research, Grete will also collect research data from Dawn Research Institute and help them promote the progress of the project.

This also resulted in all the teachers and students in the school being able to see Gretel and chat with him only during class or staff meetings.

Of course, Gretel never gave up asking others for help. After getting back together with Dumbledore, he became even better than before.

He dragged Dumbledore into his research room more than once.

But how can I put it, Dumbledore didn't bring as much help as expected.

Compared with Grindelwald, who has been meditating for decades, Dumbledore, who has been worrying about the wizarding world for decades and has not left much time to recharge, can no longer keep up with Gretel's thoughts.

Although he had tried very hard to understand what Gretel said about the relationship between Muggles and wizards, he could not accept Gretel's fantasy.

Are wizards' abilities related to Muggles? how can that be possible!

When the report written by Grindelwald after summarizing was placed in front of him, this old man who was over a hundred years old seemed to have his three views challenged. The doubts in his eyes did not dissipate for several days.

In the end, Gretel had no choice but to drop the same three small balls to the White Devil as he did to Grindelwald.

This is the only way he can let others observe magic particles.

Although, he didn't know whether the image projected by his will based on his understanding was correct.

However, at least they don't have to rely on 'models' to study like a blind man touching an elephant. It is more convenient than empty imagination.

In the end, although Dumbledore didn't help, he did give Gretel an idea.

As the only Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Gretel can create his own club.

You no longer have to be sneaky when recruiting people like you did when you were a student, and you don't have to confuse others' memories from time to time.

Just like Horace Slughorn, his "Slug Club" really produced many famous wizards.

While feeling embarrassed, Gretel suddenly understood.

What he is currently researching is indeed challenging the authority that has existed in the magical world for many years.

The older generation of wizards find it difficult to accept his theory from the bottom of their hearts.

In such a magical world where idealism exists, psychological resistance makes them unable to produce any results in their research, and it is difficult to provide any help to Gretel.

Young students are different. Perhaps they are limited by their knowledge, so they can't help much either.

However, they accept new theories on a much larger scale than the older generation of wizards.

The development of a brand-new theory cannot often be completed by one person. It requires countless latecomers to supplement and break through, and turn the theory into a system or realize it bit by bit.

In October, when England began to get colder, the 'Dawn Club' belonging to Professor Mike Gretel was officially established at Hogwarts.

Unlike Shuguang's recruitment philosophy, Gretel does not require them to resonate with Gretel's philosophy this time.

All he needs is the talent of wizards, which means that no matter what grade the wizard is, as long as he can get Gretel's recognition of talent, he can become a member of Daybreak.

Moreover, in order to ensure the independence of Daybreak, Grete set a rule at the beginning of Daybreak's establishment. For all achievements produced by Daybreak other than his own, Sugon must pay corresponding patent fees if he wants to use them.

Daybreak is a research institution independent of Dawn and will never become a member of Dawn's administrative system.

According to Gretel's request, all those who want to join Dawn can submit applications to their offices before the weekend.

Grete does not work here. His daily routine is the same as the past four years, mostly squatting in the Room of Requirement not far from the principal's office.

He borrowed the lesson plan specifically for first and second grade students from Professor Snape.

According to Grete's words, "Teacher, you won't need it anyway, so why not leave the lesson plan you worked so hard on in my hands, so that you can have a sense of participation when I teach them the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. "

Snape felt the invisible teasing.

After being choked, he turned this teasing into a venomous tongue in Potions class.

Seamus Finnigan spat out at the frying pan again.

"If I were you, I would definitely put on a giant monster's head. This way, I can save a lot of energy when I come to class."

After turning around, "And Harry Potter, the potion prepared this time is of good quality. Five points for Gryffindor!"

Slytherin, who was in class together, was too lazy to sigh.

Anyway, this is the number of points that Geharanli and Finnbodot have been added to this semester.

Everyone knows that after Ravenclaw was able to dominate the list because of the emergence of Mike Gretel.

The legendary savior, Harry Potter, also helped Gryffindor jump to Gryffindor starting from this school year.
