Retirement from Hogwarts

The morning after successfully persuading Black to be careful, Jack and Hermione met Hagrid again during their Care of Magical Creatures class.Although there were voices in various media supporting him, the creatures he brought today, who had just received a huge blow in the last class, were obviously not as exciting as the creatures he brought to Harry and the others yesterday.

The poor Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students had to spend half the morning with a few Flobber caterpillars.However, thanks to this boring Care of Magical Creatures lesson, the public opinion among the students regarding yesterday's Malfoy incident completely swung to Hagrid's right side.

However, in the following ancient magic text class, they were dumbfounded.When Jack and Hermione pushed open the classroom door and walked in, they found that there was no teacher in the entire classroom.There was only an obscure line of ancient magic text left on the blackboard in the classroom and a group of students in the audience looking at it in a daze.

"What's written on it?" A buzzing discussion began to sound among the crowd.

"These seem to be magic runes." Suddenly someone whispered.

"Magic runes? In other words, these words are ancient magic texts composed of magic runes?" After one person discovered the key to solving the problem, everyone quickly understood.

"Following... my footsteps?" Hermione stuttered as she read the book after a swishing of pages. "What does it mean?"

"We obviously don't have any witchers who are proficient in tracking here. The footprints this thing is talking about are definitely not the teacher's footprints or anything like that." Jack said thoughtfully after listening to Hermione's translation. "If my guess is correct, there should be more than just this ancient magic text in this classroom."

After hearing Jack's words, the students in the classroom couldn't help but scatter with a bang and began to search everywhere in the classroom.

"What do you think?" Hermione looked at the busy classmates in the classroom and whispered to Jack.

"It doesn't look like a difficult test." After carefully recalling every detail from the time he entered the classroom to the present, Jack said while using his personal terminal to send another sentence to Hermione. [Judging from the information we have obtained temporarily, this should be a puzzle game.However, it is unclear what the specific form of this test will be. 】

"As long as you have confidence." Hermione looked at the message he sent and keenly discovered the meaning of his words. As she answered, she controlled the personal terminal with the deep consciousness controlled by the Occlumency she learned from Jack. Sent a message back to Jack. 【What's the meaning?Do you think that the line of ancient magic text left by the teacher does not mean that we should look for other ancient magic texts he left behind? 】

[Don’t you think other people’s reactions were strange when we entered the classroom?Everyone was staring at the blackboard with concentration, and no one noticed us at all.But when we looked at those ancient magic texts, everyone suddenly came to life. ] Jack said as he led Hermione to pretend to look for other clues in the classroom.

[You mean, fantasy? ] After hearing Jack's words, Hermione's hands that were rummaging through the cabinets in the classroom couldn't help but tremble.

[Although I don’t know what this ancient magic literature teacher is doing, it must be an illusion.And if my guess is correct, that evil teacher must be hiding among us. 】Jack said while pretending to search on the windowsill.

"Hey, come and see if these are ancient magic texts." Just two people

During the discussion on the personal terminal, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the classroom.

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but cheered and gathered around, and then the sound of flipping papers, which was reserved for flipping through a special magic word dictionary, began to sound continuously in the classroom.

"Forward, warrior, green forest?" After everyone's efforts to search, which line of magic text was finally translated.Just when people read out the meaning of the magic text, the runes glowed softly as if they were activated, and an emerald green forest was projected.

[This thing does not seem to have the effect of this line of runes. There is definitely something hidden in it. ] After Jack approached, he muttered to Hermione while studying the runes left on the window sill. [The forward enchantment effect should be the core statement of the swiftness enchantment that increases movement speed.The warrior should be part of the composure enchantment and the fearlessness enchantment.Although I have never seen the phrase "emerald green forest", it doesn't look like projection enchantment. 】

"What should we do? Have any of you seen this forest?" someone in the crowd behind Jack asked.

"This should be the Forbidden Forest to the north of the castle." Hermione recalled the scenery she saw while riding Athena soaring over the Forbidden Forest. "There is a particularly green forest somewhere, the color is very similar to these."

"But the range is very large. How can we find this forest accurately?" Someone in the crowd asked after hearing Hermione's words.

"This is simple." Jack, who had been studying the window sill for a long time, raised his head and said. "Just take this projection bead and look for it. There is a very delicate positioning magic text in it. As long as you find the right location, the projection of this bead will give you the next step."

After hearing Jack's words, everyone couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously for a long time.Apparently more than one person was wondering whether he had been transferred.

[If I hadn't been able to contact you using a personal terminal, I would have doubted whether you were the teacher pretending to be you. ] On the way to the Forbidden Forest, Hermione, who was among the crowd far away from Jack and listened to people's discussions, said to Jack using her personal terminal.

【I did it on purpose. 】 Jack said while sending a shrug expression to Hermione. [Pay attention to those who make insinuations and give me a hat.It's up to you to find out that evil teacher. 】

Under Jack's lead, everyone in the class quickly found the special forest that Hermione mentioned.Just as he was circling the forest looking for the entrance to the forest projected by the projection bead in Jack's hand, a light that could blind people suddenly burst out from the bead in his hand.Then, what was originally a forest projection turned into an ancient magic text that always pointed the direction of a line no matter how it moved.

"It seems like this is the next prompt." Jack, who was the first to be dodgeed, rubbed his eyes and said to everyone.

"Do we really want to go in?" Someone in the crowd asked timidly looking at the dark path pointed by the arrow. "This is a forbidden forest. It is against school rules to enter."

The people who were originally united and ready to go in to find out what happened began to hesitate under his words.

"This is just the last step. Are you sure you don't want to go?" Jack couldn't help but encourage everyone as he looked at the hesitant people. "You know, I have violated more than one school rule in my adventures in the past two years. Anyway, this is the arrangement of the magic text teacher. Even if I am discovered, I will not be expelled. What are you afraid of?"
