This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Compared to Divination, Arithmancy and Muggle Studies are not very popular.

Professor Sedima Victor is a middle-aged witch.

Unlike Trelawney's weird performance, her Arithmancy class is full of rigor from the way to the classroom.

Enter the door next to the library on the second floor, walk to the fork and turn right, you will see a door with a combination lock.

There is a quadratic equation math problem on the blackboard on the left, and a corresponding problem-solving guide is placed on the box on the right.

When Hermione came over, Vincent had already turned the combination lock to the correct number.

"Did you solve it?"

"Yes, exponential equations are not difficult."

She glanced at the question on the blackboard, pursed her lips and followed him into the classroom.

Inside is a small room with good lighting, and the walls are full of complex formulas and math problems.

There is an old-fashioned pendulum clock hanging above the blackboard. Professor Victor, wearing a crimson robe, stands on the podium below, with his back to several students and writing a long string of numbers on the blackboard.

"Welcome, I think we can start the class." Victor turned to face the students who had already sat down.

She took off the glasses on her nose, which only had lenses but no frames.

"Arithmetic divination has been used by wizards for more than two thousand years. It can help people analyze their own abilities and develop their wisdom.

It can also help people overcome difficulties and point out their future development path."

She got straight to the point without any mysticism.

"Please open the first page of the textbook." Victor used his magic wand to write a familiar name in the air.

"According to the chart in the textbook, please convert the personality number in his name.

The first step in analyzing a person's name is to convert it into a series of numbers, and each letter corresponds to one of the numbers 1 to 9.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z

The letters A, J, and S correspond to the number 1, and the letters B, K, and T correspond to 2, and so on.

The total of less than 10 students all looked at Vincent's face.

The name Victor wrote was his teacher, the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel.

Vincent smiled at them and took out the notebook and pencil tucked in the textbook.

N I C H O L A S F L A M E L

5 9 3 8 6 3 1 1 6 3 1 4 5 3

After writing down all the numbers, calculate their sum.

According to the rules of arithmetic divination, if the sum exceeds 9, it must be reduced to 9.

That is, add the ones and tens of the number together. If it is still a two-digit number, continue adding until a single digit appears.

The sum of the name is 58, the ones and tens add up to 13, and then add up to 4.

While several students were still looking for numbers, Vincent had already put down his pencil. ♦♦  ♦♦

Victor nodded slightly at him.

After all, he was the first place in the Youth Mathematics Competition. It would be strange if he didn't have such a level.

The second person to calculate was Hermione, who was only ten seconds slower.

Simple two-digit addition problems are the foundation of the foundation.

Those who can choose to take arithmetic divination must have a passing level in mathematics.

Including converting the name into numbers, it took less than 5 minutes for all the students to calculate.

"Very good." Victor did not announce the answer, but gave the next question:

"Next, please open the textbook to page 3 and extract Mr. Flamel's mental number. ”

Add the numbers corresponding to the vowels in the name (A, E, I, O, U), and finally you can get the soul number that reflects inner activities and reveals desires and fears.

NIC HOLAS F LAM E L

I O A A E

9 6 1 1 5

The added number is also 4, which is not common.

The difficulty is easier than before, and it took more than 3 minutes for all the students to calculate.

As expected, Victor did not announce the answer either.

"Please open page 5 of the textbook and extract Mr. Flamel's social number, which can reflect his external personality, that is, the characteristics revealed to the outside world."

The social number is determined by the consonants of the name, which is the sum of the numbers excluding the vowels just now.

36

3+6=9

The personality number is 4, the soul number is also 4, and the social number is 9.

Victor announced the answer, and all students calculated correctly.

"Please turn to page 7 of the textbook, let's get a general understanding of what kind of person Mr. Flamel is. "

Each number corresponds to a different personality trait.

Hardworking, honest, and able to solve problems with pragmatic methods.

Emotionally stable, but sometimes easily angry or suspicious.

The side that is shown to the world is generous and humanitarian.

Vincent was very surprised.

Because this is very similar to Nico's personality, although the details are slightly different, they are basically consistent.

When the students saw his expression, they became more interested in the rigorous course of arithmetic divination.

"Before finishing the numerical analysis of the name--" Victor raised his wand and pointed it at the blackboard behind him,

"Before that, we can see which number in his name appears more frequently."

The numbers 3 and 1 floated out from the blackboard and hovered in front of her.

"The frequency of 3 and 1 exceeds that of other numbers, which means that our analysis just now should be slightly modified.

Finally, we can conclude that Mr. Flamel is a perfectionist who is focused on his work, and his money comes very easily."

Vincent once again became the focus of attention.

Compared to the so-called "talent" of divination, arithmetic divination is basically equal to no threshold.

As long as you know a little bit of mathematics, anyone can calculate the personality and destiny behind the name.

Victor lowered his wand and let the two numbers return to the blackboard, "I think everyone should be curious about their own names, right?

Then, please convert your names into numbers in the next time."

Vincent wrote his name in a notebook and quickly found three sets of corresponding numbers.

V I W A Y N E

4 9 5 3 5 5 2 5 1 7 5 5

9 5 1 5

4 5 3 5 2 5 7 5

Adding them together, we can get three numbers, 2, 2, and 9.

Finally, combined with the number 5, which appears the most frequently and represents instability and imbalance, the arithmetic divination based on the name into numbers is completed.

Vincent can't wait to look at the textbook.

The personality is gentle, fair, loyal and courageous to take responsibility, very imaginative and creative.

But in terms of the mind, it is contradictory, a mixture of positive and negative aspects, similar to day and night, justice and evil, etc.

The last social number 9 is 3 times 3, representing completion and perfect achievement.

Such people are willing to provide services to others. Many of them are teachers, scientists or humanitarians.

Vincent's breathing is getting heavier.

No wonder Dumbledore doesn't like divination. Compared with the rigorous arithmetic divination, the mysterious divination class is simply garbage.

If Trelawney hadn't spoken the true prophecy like a shaman, this course would have been forcibly cancelled long ago.
