HP's Foreign Land

For most of the fifth graders this year, the second half of the school year is destined to be chaotic.The fifth grade in the previous class, which is the current sixth grade, was still intoxicated at the moment. It can be said that even now they just follow the school wholeheartedly, and their minds are ignorant.As for the future and so on, it will be a year later to consider the problem, but for Heimdall's fifth grade, this is an urgent problem.

After the beautiful imagination about cars, tickets and houses in the first half of the school year, the topics that the fifth grade boys meet after returning to school during the New Year holiday are no longer just about eating, drinking and having fun.After exchanging a few pleasantries, the topic naturally moved closer to inquiring about the other party's employment intentions, and showing off his foresight by the way.All in all, the conversation was somewhat utilitarian.So much so that a few obsessives looked down on the sixth-grade seniors in the same dormitory tower, feeling that they were not on the same level of understanding, and put them on the opposite side of playing with things and losing their minds in a few words.

For such a situation, Heimdall really couldn't laugh or cry.As the first batch of guinea pigs in the pilot program of "determining the direction of employment in the fifth grade", the real benefits of the pilot program are still two years away.What's more, it's hard to say anything at the moment!

The atmosphere between Mr. Stulusson and his friends has not changed at all. Carlo and the others have been in trouble for a long time. There is Heimdall, who has set his goal early and even paid for his pension. By his side, no one would be surprised by the somewhat inexplicable classmates who think highly of themselves.To put it bluntly, isn't it just listening to a few lectures in advance, filling out an employment application form, and not starting work tomorrow.

It's better to rest assured and prepare for the school's preliminary examination.

The starting point of the doomed chaos mentioned above kicked off with this preliminary examination. The term preliminary examination came out of Heimdall's mouth. Carlo and the others thought it was easy to remember, so they followed suit. It is called the "Durmstrang Junior College Qualification Test".

At first glance, this exam sounds similar to Hogwarts OWLs, and the subjects tested are one-third less than the twelve OWLs.Durmstrang has a wide variety of elective courses, and some subjects make people lose the desire to write exam questions just by listening to their names.If the elective course also requires a serious entrance exam, not only the students will vomit, but the invigilator will also vomit, and the wizard who is responsible for correcting the theoretical knowledge answer sheet will probably collapse from vomiting, so the elementary qualification examination of the German school does not take the exam. Electives.

In the past, this exam was actually only met when I was in the seventh grade. The reason why it was brought forward to the fifth grade is also to adapt to the new pilot of career selection in the fifth grade. Of course, the difficulty of various types of questions will be correspondingly reduced. Knowledge points that have not been learned appear.

The seventh graders in the past had to take this primary qualification test. Only after being thoroughly checked by the school and passed, could they enter the next stage. Students who failed to pass the test have no choice. Please continue to work hard in the coming year.The nature of this test is similar to that of the preliminary test before the college entrance examination, but its purpose is stricter than that of the preliminary test. Strive for an admission ticket that can enter the next higher link.

Fortunately, the wizarding world is sparsely populated, and there is almost no embarrassment in job hunting.There will not be a situation like the civil service exam where there are too many monks and too few porridge, and there will be no grandeur of the college entrance examination with thousands of troops rushing across the single-plank bridge. There is no other threshold for this exam other than "passing". As long as the candidates have solid basic knowledge, there is basically nothing question.

But for these children of the wizarding world who have never fought on the above-mentioned battlefields, even though they have no worries, it is still very impressive to pass smoothly.

At the beginning of the new semester, all fifth graders ushered in this expected test.

A week before the exam, the professors of various subjects would be chased and blocked by the fifth grade students no matter where they were. Usually, they were so dedicated to learning, and they came to hug the professors' thighs at critical moments.No matter how much they murmured in their hearts, the professors still answered all the questions, no matter what, they were their own students, and if they passed all of them, it would directly prove their professional level.

The professors are teaching attentively, the students are attentively listening, and the inside and outside of the classroom are highly unified and peaceful. All in all, long live the harmony.

Before the exam, the professors of each subject announced the passing standards they wanted to see. Among them, Professor Golden had the highest requirement—if he didn’t get a 10 out of 9 points, he would probably refuse in the next time You enter his class; and the professor of Ancient Runes has the lowest requirements. In fact, this professor has no requirements, just get 6 points and pass, unlike other professors who openly raised the score line under the guise of encouragement.

Durmstrang's primary qualification examination has a total of 8 subjects, namely Potions, Ancient Runes, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Transfiguration, History of Magic, Astronomy, and Charms.The theory is tested in the morning and the practice is tested in the afternoon, that is to say, there are 8 days in total.Among them, the practical exam in the afternoon of the astronomy exam was moved to the evening. As for whether Tiangong gave face that night, that was a headache for the invigilators.

On the first day of the exam, standing outside the Toutian Auditorium and blowing a strong whistling wind, the fifth graders were all a little apprehensive, mainly because they had no experience to learn from. In previous years, the seventh graders had to go through this experience. Even if they go to the seventh grade to learn from the scriptures, they can't prescribe the right medicine. Can the seventh grade test be the same as the fifth grade?

Of course, there are also a few unbelievers who insist on showing themselves to be unconventional. They are dumbfounded when the seventh-grade seniors speak. The knowledge they have not learned sounds like a fairy tale, and the professors also clearly stated that they have not taught it before. They didn't know how to take the exam, so these few ran back in despair, making a joke for nothing.

Caro circled around with his bald pen that had written countless gossips, muttering words.Apart from remembering to bring yourself to the official exam in the wizarding world, nothing else is negligible. Pens and ink bottles are distributed on the spot of the exam, and they are definitely enough.Carlo, who is an atheist, has always favored his bald-tailed pen. He also uses this pen to write in school exams. After entering the official exam, he cannot carry his own stationery with him. He must hand it over to the invigilator for safe storage. Luo said that by handing in the pen on the spot, he could ensure that the pen was in the same area as himself.

All in all, the little fat man is a bit superstitious about the exam.

Carol made another round, waking up after almost bumping into a classmate who was even more talkative than he was.Originally, I wanted to chat with Li An to divert my attention, but found that he was actively hugging buddhist feet with a few classmates.He turned to Leon, who was reading with relish a novel with a bold cover that was said to be about intrigue and vendetta.Thinking of today's Potions test, Carlo immediately straightened his position, spurned the top student in Potions, then turned around and walked towards Heimdall.

"Are you nervous?" The superstitious Carlo even spoke in a particularly soft voice, as if he was afraid of alarming something.

"Nonsense." Heimdall is also a little superstitious, but not as dedicated as him. "Why is Charms not the test on the first day, Defense Against the Dark Arts is okay too." He was still looking forward to a good start, no, a good start.

As we all know, Durmstrang does not have Defense Against the Dark Arts as a subject, but the German school chose to compromise in the grade examination related to talent output.Seven years of education can make their own decisions. If there is a problem at the door, it will not only delay the students, but also delay the reputation of the school in terms of teaching quality. Even Durmster, who has always been high-profile and tough in teaching black magic Lang had no choice but to turn his back on the usual path for the time being.

Various international campaigns to resist the dark arts are still in full swing, but the young wizards who are studying in the freezing Durmstrang have no resistance to taking another defense against the dark arts exam.In their view, it is to divide Charms into two.

"Waste of time." Carlo expressed his opinion. "They can completely integrate these contents into one subject test like our school does. We can test both black magic and defense against the dark arts. I don't think it's a problem to do both at the same time."

Heimdall rubbed his chin, "Wouldn't it be impossible to show the prominence of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Wouldn't it be confused with Dark Arts and the like?"

"It's weird," Carlo pouted. "It feels like saving people while killing people."

Heimdall seemed to be shocked, and said with a choked voice, "You know too much."

For the Potions class, Heimdall was not afraid of the theory, but the practical exam in the afternoon.This year's fifth grade is the first time they have been exposed to the lower level test. The tragedy is precisely here. They can only guess the questions from the range of the seventh grade exams in previous years. Not to mention the narrowed range, the hit rate has also dropped a lot.

Of course, Professor Laurent also reviewed some possible topics for everyone, and asked everyone to hurry up and practice. At present, the most popular ones are palliatives, blood tonics and tranquilizers.Heimdall synthesized the topics that often appear in Hogwarts OWLs, and also believed that these three potions appeared more reliably in the fifth grade exam questions, among which moderators appeared most frequently in Hogwarts OWLs.

Heimdall practiced more palliatives subconsciously, not because he blindly trusted Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After all, it was the top three magic schools in Europe, and the headmaster was so outstanding.The wizarding world not only has to fight for the father, but also the principal.Although he didn't want to admit it, Karkaroff was weak compared to Dumbledore.

During lunch, in order to go over the operation process of the potion several times in his mind, Heimdall decided to go to the hidden seat on the second floor, and his friends sat together at the table next to the wall.

After sitting down, I was about to ask them in detail how they did in the theory test, when intermittent voices came from the table separated by a hollow screen.

Heimdall didn't take it seriously at first, until he inadvertently discovered that the other party was speaking Russian, and a sudden peeping psychology made him want to know what the other party was talking about.He leaned back in the chair without showing any signs, and shortened the distance.The voice of the conversation didn't sound like a student of the school, nor a professor, could it be an invigilator?

It's a pity that people's voice is weak, and the tone is more casual, so the sentences can't be coherent.After holding his breath and pondering for a long time, Heimdall finally caught a few words he could understand.

Judges, police force, Estonian Ministry of Magic, Ansip...

Heimdall organized it in his mind, and ignored the first two, but the Estonian Ministry of Magic and Ansip could make a combination.Andrew Ansip is the former supreme justice of Estonia's Wizengamot, who has retired a few years ago.Thinking of this, Heimdall leaned forward on the table, lowered his head and poked the carrot on the plate with his fork.

"If you don't want to eat these carrots, you just have a poop face?" Carlot couldn't bear his waste of food.

Leon was unhappy, "I'm eating, can you change the metaphor that can increase appetite?"

Unexpectedly, Heimdall stood up abruptly, startling Carlo.

"What's wrong with you?" Several friends hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I'm fine," Heimdall smiled as calmly as possible. "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back." He pressed Carlo who wanted to get up. "It's all right, listen to me, I'll be back in a while, right away!" Then he turned around and walked quickly to the stairs.

Leaving the three friends looking at each other in blank dismay.

Heimdall walked out of the cafeteria, and Hina quickly appeared under his call.

"Any news lately?" Heimdall asked.

Under Heimdall's special training, Hina, like her boyfriend, began to help her master read the newspaper.However, Hina has just started on this, and she can't accurately grasp what the master may want to see. Now Heimdall still insists on letting her watch, but she doesn't always ask.These days, in order to cope with the exam, I only focus on reading textbooks. I haven’t touched the newspaper for several days, so I decided to try a shortcut before doing it myself.

Hina made a few headlines, none of which Heimdall wanted to know, so she began to despise herself for not getting straight to the point in the first place.

"Any headlines about the Estonian Ministry of Magic? About Andrew Ansip, for example."

Hina was obviously taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head in distress, as if she was racking her brains for memories.

Heimdall touched his head, feeling that the answer had come out.Although Andrew Ansip is a retired cadre, he once served as the president of the Supreme Court in Estonia. In Europe at that time, he was regarded as a man with one hand covering the sky. In terms of remuneration after retirement, it was basically the same as that of the International Wesson Gamour's serving chief justice is about the same.If he has any news that doesn't make the headlines, it should be a second one.

But Heimdall overlooked a very important point. Andrew Ansip has already retired, and those glory days that belonged to him are already old calendars.

"Yes, Hina remembered." Just when Heimdall was about to give up, Hina suddenly became excited. "Andrew Ansip, former supreme justice of the Estonian Wizengamot."

Heimdall immediately asked, "What news?"

"It's not the headline." Hina's eyes were full of tears, as if it was not the headline's fault.

"It doesn't matter, I want to know what kind of news it is."

"He's been charged."

"... being sued about what?"

"Abuse of power and use of poison to hurt people."

"Who sued him?"

"The former indictment came from an official of the Estonian Ministry of Magic, the latter indictment from a wizard, the papers didn't say what it was called."

Heimdall was surprised. Abuse of power, which can be big or small, has always been a very intriguing accusation; using poison to hurt people is even more intriguing.In addition to his status as a judge, Andrew Ansip also has the title of an expert in potions. It is said that he is quite accomplished in potions.The two pinnacles I am most proud of in my life have been bitten by people who are still unfounded charges. I don't know how Justice Ansip is feeling now.

After dismissing Hina, who was overjoyed by the praise, Heimdall went back to the cafeteria.He sat down at the position just now, and raised his eyes to meet the inquiring gazes of the three friends.

"Do you remember the recipes of several antidotes?" Heimdall said.

"Why are you talking about antidote all of a sudden?" The three friends looked bewildered.

"There are so many antidote formulas in Potions that are annoying, if you don't remember them, hurry up and write down a few more." Heimdall looked at Leon. "It shouldn't matter to you."

Leon shrugged, still holding the conspiracy and vendetta novel in his hand.

"What's going on?" Carlo's nose twitched, he smelled gossip.

"I have an idea that popped up out of nowhere..."

Carlo nodded and urged, "I have plenty of time."

Heimdall said cautiously, "It's hard to say now, anyway, there is no loss if I remember it."

To be honest, Heimdall really has no evidence. Hina said that this matter was not published in the newspaper, and she explained it in a few words, and it was not in a conspicuous section.That being said, it was unconfirmed and caused no uproar.That being the case, why did those two wizards who serve in the Examination Management Committee under the Central Committee - the International Federation of Wizards - discuss such a small incident in this place?And it's not even a department.Does this mean that this matter actually has the capital to cause an uproar, but the higher-ups decided to suppress it temporarily due to various factors?

Of course, everything is limited to Heimdall's wild imagination, and no one can tell what the truth is except for the person involved. He is just a young candidate who hopes to take advantage of it.

As for why the antidote is remembered instead of something else, because Andrew Ansip is a master poison maker and a famous antidote master-what a series of beautiful coincidences, so coincidental that Heimdall couldn't bear to ignore-even the black magic Durmstrang, who has compromised in defensive skills, will never let students do poison in the preliminary exam.

In the afternoon, there was a Potions practice exam. All the fifth graders who took the exam stood behind their desks, and each of them had a cauldron and a whole new set of matching tools in front of them.

Staring at the rows of practical exam questions for three antidotes selected out of ten listed on the blackboard, Carlo's eyes lit up, and he was amazed in his heart, okay, Director Strulusson, it's amazing.

Rian and Leon, who were also shocked by the unexpected hit rate, hurriedly turned their heads to look at Heimdall. Behind the third table in the first row on the right, the head of the office, Sturluson, picked up a Looking at the bottle containing the ochre-back beetle, I knew in my heart that this time it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

It turns out that I can still guess like this...
