Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Chapter 356 Pre-War Psychological Counseling

Malfoy was quick to learn Occlumency.

As a Slytherin, he was calmer and could control his emotions more easily. After one night, he was able to clear his mind and resist Harry's attack.

In contrast, as a typical Gryffindor, Harry is more passionate and more easily impulsive.

Coupled with the delicate and sensitive character he developed since childhood, he was a little inferior in controlling his emotions. It was not until the second course that he could barely resist Malfoy's attack.

In response, Malfoy did not make sarcastic remarks or show off, but kept sharing his insights and skills with Harry, and kept encouraging and cheering him up.

Harry returned the favor by generously sharing his dueling experience in the dueling hall.

In this way, the two people encouraged and helped each other, and steadily improved their strength in all aspects.

In just one month, they made rapid progress in the art of brain occlusion. They never failed when fighting against each other and were able to defend every attack.

Seeing this, Sebastian went straight to the point and led them to explore a more complex technique - building a memory palace.

At the same time, he also personally played the role of the attacker, increasing the difficulty of the training. He used extremely powerful attacks to tear through the two people's defenses again and again, forcing them to further hone their skills and polish their hearts.

At this point, the differences between the two people emerged again.

Although Harry's learning speed is a little slow, he is steady and solid. Even when facing the pressure from Sebastian, he is still able to show great resilience.

Although Malfoy learns faster, his ability to withstand pressure is obviously not as good as Harry's.

In particular, when Voldemort was mentioned, his emotions began to fluctuate violently, and as a result, his Occlumency technique was easily broken.

Sebastian estimated that the reason why the young man's brain-blocking skills improved so quickly in the original book was entirely because Voldemort lived in his house.

For the sake of his life, he would naturally practice desperately.

Faced with this situation, Sebastian decisively changed his strategy and taught the two little ones according to their aptitude to ensure that their progress would not slow down.

In the past month, Hogwarts has also shown its importance to the Big Five Tournament.

Professors of all subjects have shown great tolerance for students who have reached the magic power requirements and are determined to participate in the warrior selection.

In the duel club, professors go directly to the field and conduct one-on-one practical exercises targeting these students’ weaknesses.

Moody also joined in, demonstrating his battle-tested spellcasting skills to the students.

In addition, he also divided the Defense Against the Dark Arts class into two parts, half of the time was used to explain theoretical knowledge, and the other half was used for exciting practical exercises.

The students who are called upon need to follow the methods he explains and personally break the spell he casts.

If someone performed poorly, Moody would be ruthless and always give direct and harsh criticism.

Even so, Moody's courses are still popular among students.

Especially the senior students, they learned how to fight against various black magic in Moody's class, and they will never be afraid of the black magic again.

The only thing that bothered the little wizards was that Moody's homework was extremely heavy.

Because he often uses examples of cases he has experienced and asks students to write down their defense strategies in corresponding situations.

Then, in the next class’s actual practice, he would randomly select students and practice with them personally to verify whether these students’ strategies were effective.

In Sebastian's eyes, Moody is definitely the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years, even better than Lupin last year.

So, even though there was still a one percent suspicion in him, Sebastian did not continue to investigate further for the time being.

After all, whether he is the real Moody or the fake Moody, as long as he teaches students real things, he is a good Moody.

..................

As time went by, the strength of the would-be warriors began to slowly show differences. After the test of the canyon, this gap became more obvious.

This also caused some prospective warriors to become unbalanced and impatient, and this impetuous mood even spread to the young wizards in the lower grades.

So, at a duel club meeting in late October, Sebastian gathered all the students together for a pre-war orientation meeting.

"In the past week, many people's mentality has been somewhat unbalanced, which is not a good phenomenon." Sebastian stood on a podium and glanced gently at the students below.

"Professor Swan, we don't want this to happen either," a seventh-year student in the crowd said with a bitter face, "We really don't see any hope of becoming warriors."

"For me, after the battle in the canyon, I realized how much I lacked practical experience."

"It's not the kind of duel game that is prepared in advance in duel competitions, but the lack of the ability to deal with unexpected crises in real-life scenarios."

"Oh," Sebastian looked at the other person, "Then let me ask you, after a month of practice, do you feel your own progress?"

"Of course, I can easily beat myself a month ago. But what's the point if I can't be selected as a warrior?"

"Of course it's useful," Sebastian smiled. "The Top Five Tournament is just a short game in your life experience, but the strength you have gained through hard practice will accompany you throughout your life."

He glanced at the crowd and said, "Many people, especially the lower grade students, have not realized what kind of special treatment you will enjoy in the coming year."

"Every professor will be happy to answer your questions about knowledge beyond the textbooks, including some complex spells and profound magical theories."

"If I were you, I would definitely seize every opportunity to learn, and then turn all that knowledge into my own strength."

"But Professor," a student raised his hand and asked, "Why do we need such high strength? Apart from Aurors and Striker, other jobs don't require any offensive spells at all."

The boy is still too young!

The wizarding world today may seem calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Within one to two years, the wizarding world will be in chaos.

At that time, every bit of strength you gain will give you more capital to make a living.

Of course, Sebastian couldn't answer the students like this. He looked at all the students and said something meaningful.

"Many people have this question, that is, many of the things I am practicing now will not be used in my future work."

"In that case, why not live a more relaxed life? Why bother studying those profound spells and working so hard to improve your strength?"

"That's an interesting question. Is there any student who would like to answer it?"
