Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Rowena suddenly felt that this Christmas was not happy at all.

I thought everyone was on the same level in terms of student teaching, and I was even way ahead of Helga, but when I looked back, I realized I had already fallen behind! How could the proud Ravenclaw accept this?

And according to the information she had obtained through deception, Helga's student had also reached the threshold of the field. This was outrageous. How long had she only had this student?

Ravenclaw looked suspiciously at her two old friends. She always felt that they were hiding something from her.

Otherwise, why did both of their students reach the threshold of the field? If this was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence, right?

Realizing that she had accidentally exposed important information, Helga shut her mouth and thought seriously for a while about how to deal with Rowena's questioning.

It feels like telling my roommates that I was playing games all night during final exam week and then being caught by them studying in the library all night.

Helga's expression revealed her inner thoughts, and Rowena felt that her guess was confirmed: these two people were indeed hiding something from her!

At this moment, Rowena's spirit changed from pure milky white to grayish white, and a sharp explosion sound could be heard faintly in the surrounding air.

Rowena was really a little angry!

She now felt like a naive student who believed her roommate's lies during finals week. She didn't review and was ready for the exam. As a result, she found out the night before the exam that her roommate A had memorized her notes by heart and even borrowed notes from other top students. Roommate B was even more hateful. After doing several sets of past exam questions, he also got the key points of the professor's painting and mock exam questions from special channels. Then these two guys kept telling her that they had been playing games these days!

"Hey, Helga," Rowena asked in a calm tone, "How old are your students?"

Feeling the slight tingling sensation on her skin, Helga realized the seriousness of the problem. She immediately told Rowena that she had accepted a fifth-year student from Hufflepuff House as her apprentice.

"Oh, a fifth-year student..." Rowena narrowed her eyes. She was 100% sure that one of Helga and Salazar had developed some kind of magic that could accelerate the awakening of a person's realm.

"Salazar, what about you? Have both of your apprentices reached the threshold of the field?" She turned and pointed the finger at Les.

"No, only Daphne has reached this level. Astoria still needs to work harder." Les shook his head and answered Rowena's question truthfully.

Rowena raised her eyebrows, now she had locked onto her target.

Helga, it's you!

If the new magic was developed by Salazar, he would not have taught it to only one student. That would have been too biased. Salazar was obviously not dissatisfied with the second student. So Helga found the new method and taught it to Salazar. Salazar was limited by time and preparation and only had time to teach it to one student.

Rowena felt that she had figured out the whole story. She immediately turned around and floated to Helga to congratulate her.

"Helga, I want to congratulate you."

Helga felt the hair on her arms stand up. She tried to force a smile to show that there was nothing to congratulate.

"Domain magic has always been the most profound knowledge in the magic world. Countless wizards have made comprehending the domain their highest pursuit in their lives. You are the first wizard I have seen who has achieved something in this area." Rowena muttered in an ethereal tone, but the sound of the wind in the background of the surrounding environment became louder and louder.

Helga turned her head sharply to look at Salazar. Her first reaction was that Salazar had told Rowena about her behind her back.

Les shook his hands repeatedly, indicating that he had never mentioned this topic to her - and, do you really think that your trick has any special effect?

"The thing is..." After noticing that Rowena's mood was obviously a little off, Rice quickly began to defend himself and Helga: "Helga's student did touch the threshold of the field with Helga's help, but most of the credit should be attributed to the fact that her student's talent is indeed good."

Helga actually wanted to refute Salazar, but after taking a glimpse of Rowena's spirit that had turned gray, she changed her mind.

As long as the old snake can coax the old raven into submission, let him say whatever he wants!

Les's words did not earn Rowena's trust. She sneered and asked, "Then your apprentice is also very talented? I didn't expect that a thousand years later, there would be so many talented little wizards in the school."

"That's true. She really just stared at the fireplace for a while and then woke up." Les said gritting his teeth, "But that morning, I also used some of my own methods - I improved Helga's method a little bit."

Then Rice introduced what he believed to be the correct teaching method.

"Helga's actions helped Diggory get in touch with the realm, but they also stifled the student's potential and locked him in the realm of earth. My thinking is different—"

"So your good student who has fully unlocked his potential has comprehended the magma realm - is this realm stronger than your water realm?" Helga said this out of the blue.

She felt that the old venomous snake was just nitpicking and killing potential. Where in the world is there a field with more potential than the Earth Realm? This is already the top field!

Stifling potential means that someone who could score 90 points only gets 60 points in the end, while she ensures that students can score 100 points with certainty.

Rice's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Magma is also under my control." As he spoke, a small pool of magma really appeared in Rice's palm. "What's more, magma, a complex field, is not inferior to water and fire. They just have their own advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, magma is even stronger than fire!"

Helga and Rowena both looked a little strange.

However, Rowena's anger was mostly dissipated by this interruption. After Salazar persuaded Helga to share her experience, her anger disappeared immediately.

It didn't matter if I started a few days later, because domains were not something that could be acquired overnight. In comparison, Salazar had to work hard to get the good stuff, but I could get it just by asking for it. It was really a great deal.

With joy in her heart, Rowena opened the experience Helga gave her. After reading a few lines, her face fell: no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was a bunch of nonsense, something like "people won't be hungry as long as they eat" and "tomorrow's weather will either be above zero or below zero".

Salazar was right. Helga's students had only contributed half of their efforts to get to this point. What was even more infuriating was that in her current state, she couldn't even contribute half of her efforts unless she called Granger to the dungeon.

"Salazar, you..."

"I cut off a part of my territory and let the two children carry it with them." Rice generously told Rowena his solution.

Anyway, if Rowena wants to achieve his level, she still has to work harder.

After listening to Salazar's plan, Rowena was silent: This method seemed to be a bit too demanding for her. Moreover, her domain was more offensive, and the difficulty of compression was much higher than Salazar's.

Neither of the two people's solutions seem to be very suitable for them.

It's like when I asked my friends how to get their children into Oxford, one replied that they bought their children some tutorial books, while another said that he donated 30 million pounds to the school. Neither of them is very realistic for me.

Rowena found it hard to believe that her students could have such extraordinary talents. The probability was really small.

Helga stood aside and heard everything. She was secretly excited: Salazar's method seems to be a reference for me? In the field of compression, I have tried it before, but my students have already taken that step. Will it be ineffective to do it again?

"You two really surprise me. You can come up with such creative methods." After thinking seriously for a while, Rowena praised her two old friends.

Rowena spoke calmly, but she was anxious in her heart.

Putting aside the Gryffindor whose whereabouts are unknown, now her student is the only one among the three who has not found the threshold of the field and is tied for the bottom. How can she not be anxious?

Since when did Ravenclaws come last? This is simply unacceptable.

So she decided to urge Granger and put some pressure on her. She had been addicted to the sandbox world recently and had neglected to manage the child. This was her fault. But it was never too late to mend the situation. It was not too late to start guiding her to get in touch with knowledge in the field. And if she remembered correctly, Granger had that...

Helga's move inadvertently stimulated the other two founders to greatly advance the time they would teach their students in the field. It is difficult to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Looking at Rowena's ever-changing expression, Les felt something was wrong: this woman in front of him could be very troublesome when she got impatient, and she might cause some big trouble.

"Royna, you don't have to worry. There's no point in being anxious about domains. I'm also worried about Astoria's domain..."

"Yes, yes." Helga echoed from the side, fearing that Ravenclaw would do something extreme.

Ravenclaw hummed softly to show that he had heard it.

"I plan to invite Granger to the dungeon and try your method on her, Helga." Although she promised her friends that she would not act rashly, Rowena still wanted to take Hermione to the dungeon and let her try the awakening realm here.

To be honest, both Les and Helga wanted to refuse, because this place was not a good place for awakening. But based on their experience dealing with Ravenclaw, they knew that if they didn't approve Rowena's proposal, she would go alone and find another way to bypass them. That would be even more troublesome.

"Let us stay here with you. We have experience." Helga wanted to add a condition of her own to her agreement, but was rejected mercilessly by Rowena.

"No, you two are too proficient in your fields, especially Salazar, who has just awakened for the second time. I am afraid that the fluctuations you may inadvertently emit may interfere with Granger."

The reason Rowena gave was a bit far-fetched, but the meaning was clear: she didn't want her two old friends to interfere in Hermione's teaching.

"Can't we do it in your private classroom? This place is sealed after all." Rice was making his last effort.

"The power I can project there now is too weak. Unless you two find a way to get me out of here, I won't be able to help Granger awaken in the exclusive classroom."

This was Rowena's request to "tear off the roof". Helga and Leslie, who were both moderate, immediately agreed to let Hermione enter the seal to try to awaken the realm.

It is more acceptable to open a skylight than to tear down the roof.

"You have to find the right balance," Rice said seriously, "If there's a problem with the seal... it'll be very troublesome. The pollution that can't be solved is just a small matter..."

"I know, I know. I know what's going on." Rowena waved her hand, indicating that she understood the seriousness of the matter.

The atmosphere between the three people seemed to ease, and Rowena asked Les to prepare a few memory bubbles containing different food flavors for her.

After chatting for a while and talking about the competition to be held next year, Les and Helga walked out of the seal.

On the way back to the lounge, Helga felt a little guilty when she recalled how the two of them treated Rowena. She couldn't help but ask, "Salazar, is it really okay for us to treat Rowena like this? After all, she is also--"

"Think carefully about the experiments she did and the mess she made." Les interrupted Helga directly. He looked up and stared at Helga. "Anyway, Dumbledore is the principal now, and you are a professor at the school. If there is any problem, you will be the one to clean up the mess. By the way, I would like to remind you that I am currently a student. What Rowena did has nothing to do with me."

Helga let out a "tsk" sound, and the guilt in her heart instantly disappeared without a trace.

Rowena Ravenclaw, you better stay sealed in the dungeon! This is for everyone's good...

When he returned to the lounge, it was already curfew time and the students who remained in school had already fallen asleep, but Rice did not go to the dormitory to rest like other students.

After a simple wash, he sat by the fireplace in the common room and read the book Hermione gave him. Two and a half years had passed since he woke up, but he still hadn't given up his thirst for knowledge.

In the past nearly a thousand years, too much knowledge has emerged in both the magical and non-magical worlds, and Rice has only one attitude towards it, which is hunger and thirst.

At this moment, his attention was firmly caught by a concept proposed by the Muggles.
