The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

Herbal medicine class begins.Greenhouse, Professor Sprout, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teach in the same class.

When Professor Sprout was explaining to the students how to plant mandala in order to harvest the most fruits, Victor appeared at the door of the greenhouse and knocked politely on the glass door.

Excuse me, Professor Sprout, I'd like to borrow a moment.Victor said.

"Professor Eisner, you came just in time. Do you still remember what I once taught you about what you need to pay attention to when planting mandrakes?"

Victor will never forget in his life how old Eisner sent Victor to the fields every holiday since the first grade of herbal medicine class to put the knowledge of herbal medicine into practice.

"The secret is to find an upwind location where strong winds blow at least 17 hours a day."

Professor Sprout looked at Victor with pride.The latter can guarantee that the headmaster of Hufflepuff will inevitably feel pity when he hears that he has been transferred from a farmer to a professor.

"Professor Victor knows a lot." The little wizards discussed their war professor.

Because I have been a real farmer.The war professor thought so.

But he didn't come to the greenhouse to return to nature.

"Professor Sprout, forgive me for trying to find a student. Antony Goldstein of Ravenclaw, please come out with me."

Among the Ravenclaws, Mr. Goldstein, who was wearing a white Herbology class uniform, followed Victor outside with a puzzled look on his face.

Professor Victor's expression looked a bit serious.Goldstein thought that the professor would only come to him for one reason: his war studies course, his wrong attempts, and a notice from the French Ministry of Magical Security.

"I...I really got into a lot of trouble, didn't I?" Goldstein asked shakily.After receiving a positive answer, he gave up and smiled bitterly.

"I thought that the fact that Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall have not interrogated me until today means that the matter is over."

Professor Victor's eyes were even somewhat sympathetic, "No, it's just that communication between Hogwarts and the other side takes time. I didn't get their decision until today."

Victor raised the letter in his hand. It seemed that this was the paper announcing Goldstein's fate.It's so thin, so is the withdrawal notice.

"Before I read it, I want to ask you, Mr. Goldstein, why you didn't tell the truth during your last class session."

Goldstein looked up suddenly, his shocked eyes looking very innocent under Professor Victor's gaze.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about, Professor."

Victor sighed.When no one was around, he showed Goldstein the top half of the letter in his hand.The letter detailed 46 attempts by Goldstein to break into the Department of Security's laptop division.The time, address, and magic used were clearly listed.

Goldstein really felt like he was finished now.

"I remember that you told us in class that you found the principle of the Book of Pure White from the books, which is a connecting spell between the node and the central shed. So you tried to use this spell to invade the central shed in reverse .”

Yes, professor, I said that.Goldstein admitted.

But here's the thing, Victor carefully compared the magic used by Goldstein in 46 intrusions, but found that there were discrepancies in the magic used every time.

Apparently, Goldstein used more than one linking spell.

So Professor Victor wants to know why.

"I don't know, if you use a connecting spell, you just have to try the spell again and again. But you keep...tampering with the spell you use, that's the only word I can think of."

Next, Victor confirmed with Goldstein the spells mentioned in each letter.Every time Victor pointed at one of the curses, Goldstein kept nodding and saying that he had changed it, just like a cheating man admitting to having an illegitimate child.

And the reason why he did this is...

"It's because you don't know the exact connection spell, right?"

Victor saw Goldstein nod vigorously again.For some reason, the latter felt relieved after being exposed by the professor.He began to tell Victor everything about the crime.

Goldstein said: This kind of product has a strict information defense mechanism. It is impossible for the connection spell to successfully reverse the connection without the permission of the central shed.

So Goldstein, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn, directly tried the counter-spell.

Although he was mentally prepared, Victor still took a breath when he heard this sentence.

If it was a counter-curse, no wonder the Ministry of Legal Security would be so angry.Victor held the letter in his hand and felt that he was too polite. He would have accepted it if he had just sent a shouting letter.

The counterspell gave Goldstein's actions a completely different meaning.The essence of a counterspell is to offset and destroy the original spell.If Goldstein succeeds, he will have the vicious consequences of partially taking the Book of Pure White offline.

How could Victor have thought so easily and simply before?

Before the professor's words of blame were spoken, the student seemed to realize that something was wrong and hurriedly defended his behavior:

"But I didn't recite the counter-spell completely. The counter-spell can destroy the entire pathway. I just wanted to open up the defense mechanism at the central point, so... I only recited a small section of the incantation in reverse."

"But how do you know which section has this effect?" After Victor finished speaking, he immediately understood the answer, "That's why you try them one by one."

Goldstein confirmed Victor's suspicion.That's all he does.Who can tell him next that if Hogwarts expelled him, would Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States be willing to accept a student with a criminal record?

"But you still didn't tell me," Victor tilted his head and looked at his student, "Why didn't you tell the truth in the first place?"

They were about to leave, but they didn’t even spare the last bit of kindness.Goldstein was sad.He hesitated for a long time, until Victor put his ear to his mouth and bravely said to the professor:

He was afraid of being thought not very smart.

Victor almost fell over his student.

"What's the point of this?"

Goldstein plucked up the courage and said: Trying one by one is a stupid method, isn't it?He was sorted into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat, so he should have been able to come up with a smarter way.

At least he won't lose to Gryffindor.He muttered quietly.

Victor shook his head, changed to his usual class voice, and said to Goldstein:

"This is not a stupid method. In many cases, it is the only method we can take. Muggles used this method to forcefully crack the enemy's code machines during World War II.

"It's called exhaustion, and it's one of the ways to crack intelligence."
