Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Wizards need to develop... This is something Adam and Grindelwald agree on.

It's just that Grindelwald is based on the idea of ​​​​maintaining the superior status of wizards, while Adam is more realistic. He hopes that magic can bring him a higher quality of life than the Muggle lives of his contemporaries.

So wizards must at least develop at about the same speed as Muggles, right?

As for the unrealistic issue of developing technology in the wizarding world...

You must know that science and magic are never antagonistic. In the previous world, Adam was not clear about it, but in this world, magic is also part of the objective world!

The magnetic field in the wizarding world will cause Muggle electrical appliances to malfunction. That only means that the operating logic of Muggle electrical appliances is incompatible with magic. Wouldn't it be great to develop a compatible technology tree with wizard characteristics?

In fact, Adam even thought about directly opening up the connection between Muggles and the wizarding world, putting some pressure on the wizards and giving them a sense of urgency.

Anyway...

Muggles: We have cars and planes!

Wizard: We have Apparition, broomsticks and floo!

Muggles: We have radios!

Wizard: We have an owl and a two-way mirror!

…

Muggles: We have missiles!

Wizard: We have Adam!

Adam: We have missiles too!

Muggle:? We still have nuclear bombs!

Wizard: We have Adam!

Adam: Wait... Okay, we have nukes too!

Muggle:? ? ? We also have an aircraft carrier!

Wizard: We have Adam!

Adam: We...what do we need an aircraft carrier for?

In short, before that, Adam had enough time to wait for wizards to climb the technology tree, and he also had enough strength to single-handedly stop the war between wizards and Muggles.

It's a pity that even Grindelwald and Bernard thought this idea was a bit extreme and dangerous, so they gave up.

Just when Adam felt regretful that he didn't know how long he would have to wait, the students in the Forbidden Forest came out one after another.

Obtaining fire ash snake eggs is not difficult, especially when Adam placed a sufficient amount of fire ash snake eggs in the third area in advance. Many young wizards have discovered "fire ash snake nests without fire ash snakes at home" , relatively speaking, more accidents still occur on the road.

For example, those who do not know how to distinguish traces of magical animals, those who run into the territory of hippogriffs, those who are accidentally alerted to being attacked by evil birds, those who have gems on the backs of curious fire crabs spitting fire...

Fortunately, they were just disgraced at most, and no one was taken out by the house elves because their lives were threatened.

After the last team came out, Grindelwald scored each student based on the performance recorded by the magic mirror.

Surprisingly but not surprisingly, the first place is Neville's team.

"Why?"

Hermione was surprised:

"Our team got the Fire Ash Snake very smoothly along the way. Why is the score not as good as Neville's?"

"Your group does have good luck, Miss Granger, but that means you get no 'bonus points'."

Grindelwald shook his head and said:

"Of course, it seems that your team's score will naturally suffer from other teams that are not going well. It is suspected of encouraging students to provoke magical animals, so the specific scoring rules will be more complicated."

"As far as this time is concerned, Team Neville encountered a lot of troubles on the way, but they solved them very well, and even came back faster than you who had a smooth journey... so their score is higher. "

Hermione nodded reluctantly, then glared at Harry and Ron.

They did get the fire ash snake eggs smoothly, so after that they rested for a while next to a blueberry bush, which caused them to come back later than Neville and the others.

"I didn't know I had to give points...and those blueberries are really sweet."

Ron whispered, Harry nodded silently.

However, as the picture in the magic mirror continued to change, Ron's eyes widened:

"Wait...what did Neville use?"

On the mirror of the magic mirror, Neville and the others discovered that there was a fire-ash snake in the fire-ash snake's nest. They saw that Neville and the others each put on earmuffs, and then...Neville took out a Mander plant from his pocket. Pulling grass? !

"Mandrake."

Neville looked natural and had a confident smile on his face.

Professor Grindelwald was right, how could Defense Against the Dark Arts be such an inconvenience? As long as it has the ability to protect yourself, it's Defense Against the Dark Arts!

"This...isn't this considered cheating?"

Ron's mouth dropped open.

"Of course not. I said you can use any method. The threat will not come according to the textbook, and of course you don't have to resist according to the textbook."

Grindelwald spread his hands:

"Magical plants, magic potions, magic props, even if you have magical animal friends who can help... As long as you can protect yourself, no method is too much."

"You know, although you won't really die in the Forbidden Forest, once you leave Hogwarts, you will have to face not only magical animals, but also wizards who are more treacherous and dangerous than magical animals. There is no chance of starting your life over again. opportunity!”

After warning everyone, Grindelwald added:

"But the premise is that these belong to you... For example, Neville's mandrake was cultivated and grown by Neville himself. It is not mature yet, otherwise the cry will directly kill the Ash Snake, not like in the magic mirror. Just stunned."

Then Grindelwald looked at Neville again:

"The mandrake is powerful, but the action of wearing earmuffs is too obvious. It is a disadvantage that you can't hear anything after wearing earmuffs. Besides, we are in school now. Be careful not to hurt other students by mistake..."

"I know, Professor Grindelwald, I am practicing blocking my ears and breeding other magical animals. I will adjust the tactics according to the situation, and I have teammates."

This is not the first time that Neville has put magical plants into actual combat. After using his own abilities to achieve results many times, he naturally has a completely different confidence from before.

Grindelwald nodded and glanced at Seamus beside Neville.

It should be said that this kid is particularly talented in spells such as thunder explosion and blasting roar. Hogwarts really has a lot of good seedlings...

After a real combat, although it is not so real, it is enough to make everyone realize the complexity of the external environment and how difficult it is to apply what they have learned in class to actual combat.

According to Professor Grindelwald's requirements, they had better reach the level of a team of three or less people being able to deal with magical animals of danger level XXXX within four months. Those who can complete it can enter the next stage, and those who can't complete it will continue to brush the three-star Forbidden Forest (crossed out) third area. The students were all in high spirits.

In addition to the tasks assigned by Professor Grindelwald, other professors also began to encourage everyone to go to the Forbidden Forest more.

For example, some after-class exercises in Transfiguration and Charms classes will require everyone to find specific targets in the Forbidden Forest for practice.

Even some materials used in Potions classes require students to collect them in the Forbidden Forest themselves-of course, the environment they choose is relatively safe for the students' level.

As for whether those environments produce the corresponding materials...Adam will make it produced there.

And will there be students who cheat and lie that they have completed their homework in the Forbidden Forest, or buy potion materials from the store as the results of the Forbidden Forest?

Of course there are!

However, the original intention of these assignments is to let students practice more in the Forbidden Forest. Unless the professor allows, students cannot enter the Forbidden Forest at will, so those students who don’t want to go, just let them go. After all, they are responsible for their own lives.
