The years of welding at Hogwarts

"Second year, Professor Lupin."

Another group of students got up and left the table.

The professor leading the third grade is Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House. Professors Flitwick and Snape, who are also head of the house, are responsible for leading the fourth and fifth grades respectively. The sixth grade is led by Professor McGonagall, the headmistress herself.

As for those graduating students who are about to graduate from Hogwarts and face the difficult choice between further study and employment, their advisor is the former Auror Alastor Moody, who makes everyone feel deeply afraid.

They will experience a painful beating from society at the hands of this legendary Auror, so that they can understand what is the most advantageous choice for them one year from now?

Should I continue my studies or join the workforce after graduation?

After all seven grades of students had left, there were still about a hundred people left in the Hogwarts Great Hall.

These students had already graduated from Hogwarts, but returned to Hogwarts for further studies under the continuing education program promoted by Noah.

That is, the new students of the sixth college, the School of Continuing Education, which is independent of the four major colleges.

As for why there was a fifth one among the four major colleges...

Azkaban is a non-staff base anyway. Is the title of the reserve training base for the third generation of the Dark Lord a joke to you?

These extra one hundred people caused a lot of headaches for Noah and Professor McGonagall in the half month before school started.

As for the teaching content for them, there is no big problem.

How much can they learn in just seven years at Hogwarts?

Even though the current magical world has declined greatly compared to the era of the Big Four, many magics have been lost in the slow flow of time.

But even so, the knowledge passed down in the magic world is still endless, not to mention that new knowledge is added every year, expanding the boundaries of magic.

The knowledge is endless, and it is not something they can learn in just seven years.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the years, decades or even tens of years that the four headmasters of Hogwarts have spent studying magic become a joke?

What gave Professor McGonagall a headache was the arrangements for these students' food, accommodation, classrooms, subsidies and a series of other troublesome matters.

A more important thing is, should these students be allowed to participate in the first military training at Hogwarts?

It can't be said that during the one-month class suspension, these returning students from the School of Continuing Education had nothing to do in the castle every day except eating and drinking, right?

But if they are allowed to participate, who should be their supervisor?

If Dumbledore was in Hogwarts, there wouldn't be so much trouble. We could just let that old man who always likes to slack off take over.

Professor McGonagall's eyes fell on the little turkey on the plate... and the fat turkey next to it.

"An eighth grader."

That’s right, the old hands returning to campus now are the eighth grade at Hogwarts.

"The leading professor is Fawkes Dumbledore."

The fat turkey, who had been concentrating on eating, raised his head in confusion. This was different from the original arrangement. Didn't it say that the eighth-grade students would be handed over to Baji, the number one close combat expert in the magic world?

Before Fox could retort, Professor McGonagall continued, "Professor Barnes will be there to assist you."

Oh, all right.

Fox breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Just throw all the tasks to Baji, the slave who has been entrusted with Noah's grand ideal of saving the world.

In the process of transforming from a phoenix to a human form, Fox quietly used the phoenix flame to burn off the grease on the corners of his mouth. He completely ignored Noah's refusal and picked up the little turkey on the plate and put it on his shoulder.

Bucky Barnes, the hardworking office worker, also stood up.

"Now, form two lines and gather at the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

Chapter 291 Hagrid: I have a bold idea

Each of the eight grades at Hogwarts is assigned an activity area.

The new first-year students occupied the Quidditch field with the best location and conditions. This was an arrangement made by the Hogwarts school authorities out of care for these newbies.

The old-timers in the eighth grade were kicked to a rugged grassland on the edge of the forbidden forest.

However, before they go to their respective training locations, they must first gather at a unified place, which is the Quidditch field where the flag-raising ceremony will be held.

"stop."

Tomoe

Ji spoke briefly and raised a hand to signal the students to stop.

He turned around and faced the students, his face that was not covered by the mask curled up in a grim smile.

The black training uniform matched with the black tactical vest, the pair of titanium alloy arms shining silver in the sun, the gloomy killer temperament and the handsome face, not to mention the young girls in their prime, even some male students stared at Bucky's face in a daze.

Although……

Well, this is quite normal in England, it is Engayland after all.

The eighth grade students were the last group to arrive at the Quidditch field. When they arrived here under the leadership of Bucky, the huge field was already packed with students.

The students stood in a roughly two-horizontal and four-vertical formation, and according to grade division, they gathered together to form eight scattered formations...

Let's call it a square array.

The professors in Hogwarts obviously had no knowledge of things like deployment of troops and formations. They couldn't even keep the students in the most basic order. They just watched them crowded together in a mess and divided into groups of eight.

The stands on one side of the long axis of the oval Quidditch pitch were removed and replaced by a rectangular base with five sturdy flagpoles on it, which were estimated to be about 20 meters high.

Bucky Barnes, the head instructor of our training camp, brought the eighth grade students to the Quidditch field and filled the last gap in the eight-man pile. Then he began to work on maintaining order in the crowd and arranging the teams.

Compared to other professors who were busy for a long time but still looked messy, Buggy, as the chief coach of all Hydra agents, was obviously an expert in this area.

After arranging the hundred or so eighth graders into a roughly square array, Bucky simply selected a few people standing in the corners of the square, arranged them as anchor points, and asked the students adjacent to them in the queue to align to the left and front with the students selected as anchor points, and the entire queue became presentable.

That is if they don't move.

Other professors in the school quickly found their own methods.

Although they are not proficient in this kind of thing, don't forget that they are magicians. They only need to use a variant of the fluorescent spell to draw squares similar to a chessboard on the open space, and let the students stand in the grids and not move, and they can be roughly arranged into a decent square formation.

Standing right in front of the crowd, just below the flagpole, Bucky looked at this group of disorderly students and shook his head secretly. Noah, who was lying on Fox's shoulder, had the same look and expression.

These wizards in the magic world are used to being free and undisciplined, and their collective consciousness is worrying.

How could this be allowed for Lord Shafulin, who wants to integrate the entire magical world and even unite all the forces in the non-magical world?

For some reason, Noah, lying on Fox's shoulder in such a crowded and messy situation, always had an urge to "meow".

Cane, ding——

"I said it! Meow!"

Could it be that he is possessed by Bambi Loki Odinson?

The chick Noah shook his turkey head, which had already grown a little fluff, and drove this absurd idea out of his mind.

After reorganizing the sixth grade team she led, Professor McGonagall, the headmaster, also came to the front of the crowd.

Buggy consciously took a step back, putting himself one step behind Professor McGonagall.

Unlike the Eastern leaders Noah was familiar with, who would definitely give a nonsensical speech lasting more than an hour on such an occasion, Professor McGonagall simply glanced at the students standing in a relatively neat line below and spoke slowly.

"Now, the flag-raising ceremony begins."

The Hogwarts school anthem was broadcast from the loudspeakers installed around the Quidditch pitch. Judging from the familiar sound, this was clearly the recording of the school anthem sung by all the teachers and students of Hogwarts before the end of the dinner last night.

As the not-so-tidily arranged school song was sung and under the watchful eyes of all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, five flags bearing the Hogwarts emblem and the emblems of the four colleges were slowly and evenly raised to the top of the flagpole.

The flag-raising ceremony is something that has never happened in the history of Hogwarts. It is an extremely novel experience for both the professors and students of Hogwarts.

……

On the Quidditch field, a group of first-year students who had just enrolled stood on the flat lawn.

Hagrid's gruff voice echoed across the Quidditch pitch, "Everyone! No whispering! Stand straight with your feet together! Look straight ahead! Hold your head high!"

Originally, this group of freshmen were still worried about what Professor McGonagall said in the auditorium this morning, that this activity would be very tiring or something like that. They thought they would face some extremely difficult and arduous activities.

For example, going to the Forbidden Forest to fight those dangerous magical animals.

On the way to school on the Hogwarts Express, some of them were lucky enough to meet this year's

The old students who were promoted to the second grade and had experienced Professor Shafulin’s hellish training sat in the same carriage.

From the mouths of those second-year seniors, they heard one terrible rumor after another about the evil Shafulin.

For example, they were just a bunch of rookie apprentices who had just entered the campus, but this inherently evil Shafulin kid exiled them to the top of an uninhabited snowy mountain and sealed them up with magic!

They said they couldn't survive unless they broke the barrier, and they were almost frozen to death.

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary stood up for them and scolded the terrible Shafrain and Dumbledore who approved this teaching plan like grandsons, so that such a course did not appear a second time.

however……

This is just the beginning.

Later, there was the Forbidden Forest Battle Royale, the Hundred-Player Chicken Melee, the Wizard Arena Single-player and Team Battles, the Academy Attack and Defense Battles, and even the most terrifying Challenge to the Great Devil—

Everyone in their grade worked together to challenge the big devil Noah.

If they can still see a glimmer of victory in the previous projects, such as the Forbidden Forest Battle Royale, the monsters that were released into the Forbidden Forest to hunt them, although they seem scary, they are actually some very low-level magical animals that are just a little bit ugly.

As for those high-risk magical animals that mixed in, the most dangerous one was just the eight-eyed giant spider. If these gregarious terrestrial crabs did not stick together, they would be a piece of cake for Hufflepuff's hammer god.

As for the hundred-player chicken-eating melee, as long as they could stay alive in the dangerous Forbidden Forest, wouldn't it be easy for them to get into the top five?

The only course activity they have never won is challenging the big devil.

Even if the other four giants of Kamar-Taj's Hogwarts branch attacked together, there was no chance of defeating Noah.

When a wizard's strength reaches a certain level, except for those enemies of equal strength, the other small fry, no matter how many of them come, will be of no use.

So, this project is basically the other four giants of Kamar-Taj fighting against Noah.

However, it can be said that most of their skills were taught by Noah.

Especially Navi, who has the strongest combat power. This kid's combat power is enough to fight head-on even against a violent werewolf, but all he learned are Kamar-Taj-style physical skills.

Noah: You dare use my taijutsu against me, Longbottom?

For Noah Shaflin, a wealthy orphan without parents, who once fought for justice in the dark night of the city and left behind an urban legend called "The Dark Knight", and was known as the Batman of the magical world, Neville only needed to raise his arm slightly for him to know what the other party was going to do next.

After all, the title of the best close combatant among the orthodox wizards in the magical world is not undeserved.

However, no matter how much these second-year seniors exaggerate the reputation of the evil Shafrin, in the eyes of these newbies who are about to enter Hogwarts and be beaten, they cannot take it seriously unless they have seen the other party's actual methods.

Who knows if these old foxes are making fun of them?

It's like a sham of the Sorting Ceremony.

They were worried for a long time on the train, thinking that they would have to fight fire dragons when they entered school, or experience the forbidden forest battle royale like their predecessors.

So Headmaster McGonagall just put a dirty hat on their heads, and the sorting results were announced?

whispering sound.

This made the freshmen first graders even more disdainful of this so-called military training.

It's just standing.

Isn't this thing easy?

But after two minutes, these first-graders suddenly felt that something was wrong.

A few years ago, when they were between five and eight years old, they were in the most naughty period of their lives. At that time, the boys were like purebred Huskies with nowhere to vent their energy. Every day they would climb trees to dig out bird nests and go to the river to catch fish and shrimps. Throughout the whole day, their butts might be on the chair for less than ten minutes in total, and they didn't feel very tired.

But why did they feel their calves going weak after just standing for two minutes?

A little turkey with just a few strands of fluff growing on its body was suspended about one meter above the ground with the help of a levitation spell. It shuttled among the ranks of first-year wizards, and from time to time used its short but not weak chicken wings to whip those young wizards whose stance had begun to shift.

Although Noah's wings are a little short, he can use his magic power to condense an invisible palm.

After walking around in the crowd and experiencing the joy of the military training instructors in his previous life, Noah flew back to the broad shoulders of the hybrid giant leisurely and lay down at ease.

It is still interesting to teach these first-year kids. In Fox, Bucky, the chief instructor of SHIELD, is helping. How can he experience this kind of torturous joy after going there?

The half-giant glanced gratefully at the little turkey on his shoulder.

I have to say that it takes a group of smart people with good brains to be engaged in education.

From the beginning

Standing there, apart from being a large ornament and serving as Noah's megaphone, Hagrid, the professor appointed by Professor McGonagall to lead the team, has never played any decent role.
