This ss also allowed Belby, the new professor, to recognize the reality.


    Times do move quickly.


    The difference between the ‘average level’ he mentioned and the ‘average level’ shown by the young wizard is so vast that he couldn’t help but wonder about life.


    ”But maybe it’s just this particr grade that’s worse?” Belby thought with illusory hope.


    The young wizards who came out of the ssroom in a row were, on the contrary, extremely satisfied with their new professor.


    “Today’s ss was excellent.”


    “Did you see the trip jinx I used?”


    “Ipletely over-performed!”


    “Crabbe was acting dumb.”


    …


    By the end of the day’s entire curriculum, Belby had be soberly aware of the young wizards’ magical attainments atst, and no longer harboured any hope – he even had a tendency to deviate to the other side of the line.


    “Danger awareness is near non-existent, just standing still and chanting spells.” At dinner, Belby vented to Felix.


    Felixughed heartily: “I already tried to tell you, Damocles, so you can understand their level in advance.”


    “This is totally different from when I was in school,” Belby said.


    “In fact, the level of the senior ss is not bad, they at least mastered a fair amount of useful spells, just do not know how to use them flexibly. But in recent years, the professors are less reliable in this course, which leads to apleteck of danger awareness built up among the younger wizards in the lower grades.” Felix exined.


    He suggested.


    “The Defense Against Dark Arts ss and the Dueling ss are close enough that we can do some interaction.”


    “Interaction?”


    “As you know, many dueling spells are equally effective in the Defense Against Dark Arts ss. For example, Shield Charm, Incarcerous Spell and so on.”


    Belby showed a thoughtful look.


    Defense Against Dark Arts is a ss that teaches students how to use magic to protect themselves from dark creatures and dark magic, and students will learn some offensive and defensive magic in ss to defend against danger.


    But this ss actually covers a much wider range of topics – there is never just one source of danger, Dark Wizards, Dark Magic, dangerous magical creatures, Magical nts, treatment of minor vicious spells, and responses to general danger scenarios …


    Rather than defense against dark arts, it’s a defense against potential dangers.


    Recognizing danger, discerning danger, responding to danger, judging the Strength and Weaknesses of the enemy, looking for vulnerabilities …


    These are the concept for establishing a Defense Against Dark Arts ss.


    Therefore, Belby would not, and should not, waste a lot of time to let the young wizards focus all their energy on one or two sources of danger.


    If you look at it from this perspective, the dueling ss can naturally be counted as a supplementary and practical part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts ss – which is one of the reasons why Lockhart easily imed the dueling club.


    …


    In the following period, Felix spent all his energy on upgrading the ‘answer space’.


    Professor McGonagall exercised her power as Deputy Headmistress, pulled in almost all the professors of the corresponding subjects, and held a meeting between the professors.


    Faculty members raised their hands to express their willingness to participate in the program or not.


    Except for a few courses – such as the purely practical oriented flight ss, and the divination ss that imed to ‘require rare vision’ to learn, plus some temporary ones (such as Apparition ss and career advice session) – all other subject professors dly agreed to join them.


    Professor Kettleburn said with aplicated look, “I’ve been hoping to do something meaningful before I officially retire, and originally I nned to host an opera and invite my troll friends …”


    Felix is rather d he had dispelled that idea.


    And Professor History of Magic – Ghost Cuthbert Binns, whose transparent silver-white body also bes glowing and white in a bizarre state, causing people to worry whether he would feel his existence being reced and thus permanently vanishing.


    But fortunately, he’s just somewhat excited: “That’s good, I think young wizards will improve their History of Magic results.”


    …


    From a spectator’s point of view, with many professors gathered in one room, one would see many interesting events.


    For example, the fact that Professors Flitwick and Sprout rarely see eye to eye with each other directly, yet they do not disy bodynguage that resists each other.


    For example, Snape’s indifferent attitude towards Belby, but does not refuse to discuss potions knowledge with him.


    Felix also met the professor of divination ss for the first time since he joined, Sybill Trwney.


    She still looks the same after three years: Trwney looks very thin, with high cheekbones andrge sses reflecting the light of the ze, making it difficult to see her expression, like arge beetle approaching us.


    Only when you get closer, you can see her eyes that have been magnified several times. She is d in a light, transparent, shimmering cloak, with heavy nes and beads around her slender neck, bangles, and finger rings on both arms and hands.


    ‘This is perhaps the most self-decorated professor at Hogwarts, with an air of mystery hanging over her.’ Felix thought to himself.


    He didn’t have good feelings towards the divination ss professor, as she had hinted many times during Felix’s school days that something bad would happen to him …


    And Felix decisively dropped the ss after discovering he had no talent for divination.


    This caused his divination ss grade to be permanently halted at a bad level.


    “Oh, Felix, I remember you … in the eyes of the public you are a very talented wizard, but under my vision,” said Trwney, pointing to her eyes and staring straight at him, “I see arge area of murkiness and darkness.”


    “Sybill, I think it’s because you haven’t sobered up from your hangover.” Professor McGonagall interrupted nonchntly, not likewise fond of the vague, pretentious professor.


    Trwney blushed and said, ” Inner Eye are not influenced by external influences and will not change regardless of whether I have been drinking or not!”


    She sat down angrily in an empty chair.


    Felix also used the meeting to have a probing chat with Muggle Studies Professor Charity Burbage, and the response he got is a little disappointing.


    This professor is not a stranger to Muggle society, ording to her, she lives in a smallmunity in the Muggle world. But Professor Bubarge also stood in the perspective of a wizard to think about things, or at least, she never considered trying to learn about the principles of technology – even at the level of an elementary level crafts ss.


    “Felix, I think that’s enough, I visit the bookshop twice a year and pick out the most popr books from it.”


    Felix asked politely, “What is the most recent book you have been reading?”


    “A Biography of Mendel: The Father of Gics,” Bubarge said with interest, “It has inspired me a lot …”
