Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

Chapter 298 School Start 16

After the school-opening dinner, Bella knocked on Afu's office door following her instructions.

"Please come in—"

Following the sound from the office, Bella opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Bella entered the door, she saw Afu sitting behind the desk and Professor Gunter on the sofa.

Seeing Professor Gunter here, Bella's original solemn mood became even more gloomy.

"Professor..." Against Professor Gunter's oppressive gaze, Bella glanced at Afu quickly and carefully. After making sure that Professor Afu was not obviously unhappy, she called out tentatively One sound.

"Bella is here, sit down." Afu signaled Bella to sit opposite her - on the chair on the other side of the desk.

Bella stepped forward quickly, pulled out the chair lightly, tried not to make any harsh noises, sat down cautiously, and raised her head to meet Afu's eyes as soon as she sat down.

"Professor, I..." At this time, Bella completely lost the sharpness she had just had at the sorting ceremony, as if she had retracted all her thorns.

Afu interrupted what Bella was trying to justify, and pointed to the key point when she opened her mouth: "Did you recently deepen your research on the existing black magic topic, or started another black magic topic. "

Afu's voice was full of concern, and her frown was full of disapproval.

Bella, who was caught by Afu's recent research trend, was a little surprised: "How... how did the professor know?"

Bella's affirmation made Afu sigh heavily, seeming both annoyed and worried.

"You know that if you study black magic too deeply, especially when your own magic power level cannot resist the negative effects of black magic, you need to put it aside for a while, and then improve your magic power level first. Keep researching."

"Now your emotions have become extremely unstable due to the negative influence of black magic. If it was before, how could you want to question Sirius at the sorting ceremony on the spur of the moment?"

Those who study the dark arts too deeply and are affected often don't even realize that they have been affected, which is the case with Bella now.

So Afu made it clear that Bella froze there as if struck by lightning.

"I..." Bella hung her head at a loss, her eyes wandering non-stop.

"Stop your current research for the time being." Afu finalized Bella's future plan in a tone of no refusal, "After school starts, you can go to the research groups of other disciplines to attend, or you can go out for a walk, Whatever you do, there's just one thing you need to keep in mind—"

"Don't touch black magic for now."

Afu's tone was not so much a suggestion as an announcement.

"Until the influence of black magic on your body is completely eliminated, you are strictly prohibited from contacting black magic again."

Afu's decision was not aimless. Azkaban now has a lot of living examples of people who were obsessed with studying black magic and forgot to control their minds, and then did all kinds of bad things after being distorted by black magic!

Afu, a wizard outside of Hogwarts, has nothing to do with it, but for the wizards who are still studying at Hogwarts, Afu will never watch them fall into such a situation.

Little wizards in grades one to seven are fine. Their Defense Against the Dark Arts class learns the skills and knowledge to deal with black magic attacks.

But the Institute for Advanced Study is the main object of Afu's worries.

Because the students of the Institute for Advanced Study are all grown-ups, their magic power has stabilized, and they have a certain resistance to black magic, the Institute for Advanced Study openly offers courses such as the study of black magic and the study of curses, which are extremely easy to affect their minds.

Of course, it is not easy for a wizard to be admitted to a subject related to black magic. During the entrance examination, there is an exam that specifically tests a wizard's resistance to black magic.

This test is placed at the end and is extremely important. It can be said that this test has the right to veto the admission of wizards.

The full score of this test is 95. Below 95 is regarded as a failure. If you fail to pass, you will not be admitted directly. If your score is above [-], you will be considered excellent and have the qualification for admission. If the score is between [-] and [-], the admission will be judged according to the specific situation The wizard.

Since Bella was able to pass the black magic studies of the Institute for Advanced Study, her admission scores all met the admission standards, and her performance in the test of resistance to black magic was also good enough.

But after only a few months of not seeing her, she looked like she was affected by black magic. Obviously, she must have made a big mess before she entered school.

Afu: I don’t know if I should praise you for knowing the seriousness. You were fine during the test, but once you got the admission notice from the Institute for Advanced Study, you no longer have any worries. You’re going to die, right?

Under Afu's penetrating gaze, Bella smiled guiltily, not daring to move at all.

Being banned is not allowed to continue one's own research, and the time of lifting the ban is uncertain, which is simply fatal for wizards with time constraints.

But fortunately, the teaching mechanism of the Institute for Advanced Study is very loose——

There is no mandatory graduation requirement, as long as wizards meet the graduation standards, they can apply for graduation at any time.

But if you don't want to graduate even if you can graduate, Hogwarts will not force you to graduate and leave school. You can stay in school to conduct research on other topics, or you can just sit around and dawdle.

Therefore, it is not a big deal for the students of the Institute of Advanced Research to not touch their own subjects for a period of time. After all, wizards have a long lifespan. As long as there are no accidents, the stronger the magic power, the longer they will live, and the longer they live, the stronger the magic power will be.

After the Advanced Research Institute became famous in the wizarding world, it also attracted a large number of older wizards to apply for admission.

About tuition fees:

The first to seventh grades at Hogwarts belong to the stage of compulsory education, and the Ministry of Magic will provide subsidies. In addition, the labor reform in Azkaban is now used to subsidize little wizards. Little wizards basically don’t need to spend money to study, but the Institute for Advanced Study is not compulsory. Education requires tuition fees.

But basically the wizards who can be admitted to the Institute of Advanced Research have their own research innovations (this will be examined during the admission qualification review), and these research innovations will bring patent fees, so the wizards admitted to the Institute of Advanced Research can be said to be Regal, and as long as you have grades after enrolling, there will be various companies queuing up to buy your research results. Everyone is not short of money and can afford tuition fees. Some salted fish who don’t want to graduate can also rely on patent fees. Support your own expenses and let yourself be paralyzed with happiness.

On the contrary, wizards need to spend much more money to do research than tuition fees. Often after a few failed experiments, wizards will be poor and bankrupt (although they will be rich again after a period of time when the patent fees in the next stage come). Research groups are popular in the research institute, and the wallets of a group of people are better than the money of one person.
