"Hagrid, who taught you to grow like this?" On the field, Aini looked at the long rows of lines in front of him and felt a little heartbroken. The feeling that he had gained before was gone in a flash.
"Of course it's Hermione. There is no one smarter among the little wizards than her. She knows everything. She is such a reliable child." Hagrid did not hesitate to praise him, and was obviously extremely satisfied with the little witch.
After hearing Hermione's name, Ani decided not to discredit the little witch. After all, she was not only a high-quality lamb, but also her own helper and tool man, so she still had to save some face.
"It's okay to start planting like this, but corn needs to be thinned. Unlike wheat, it can grow more than 8 feet, so you can't plant it too densely."
"Eight feet!" Hagrid, an old part-time farmer, immediately realized his mistake. "I spread them wider. Anyway, there is plenty of land here, so they can get enough sun."
Ani didn't intend to stop him when he heard this. Planting corn to find the optimal spacing is to effectively utilize the land. There are so many wastelands in Hogwarts and they are protected by magic. It would be better to spread them out a little more.
"Thanks to you, Aini." Hagrid smiled gratefully. Apparently, with corn's 8-foot height, Hagrid had a better sense of it than wheat.
It's not a good experience if you mess up the first time.
At the same time, Hagrid also complained to himself. There were so many wastelands nearby, why did he have to find a piece of land...
Wait, that’s right!
Hagrid patted his big head excitedly and shook Aini excitedly.
"Ani, I thought about it! Why do you calculate the accounts so clearly? We can carve out more places, as long as we don't use up all the magic veins in an area and leave some."
"It's like thinning. We have such a large Forbidden Forest, so we don't need to be careful."
Ani agrees with this method. In fact, he also thought of it just now, but there is an unavoidable problem.
When building the basement, a lot of rare materials were filled, which were enough to stably solidify the effect of the Traceless Stretch Spell without requiring magic from the outside world.
The real magic hog is the simulation of the environment.
Including but not limited to volcanoes, storms, glaciers, water flows, etc., at least medium-sized magic nodes must be able to withstand them.
It will independently extract the magic power nearby, and it will extract it as a whole. Neither Aini nor Newt can accurately control this.
It's like we can bite off the cake next to our mouth in one bite, but we can't do it without leaving a strip of one centimeter apart. Who can bite out the word "plate" in one bite?
"It sounds like a good idea, but I'm not capable of this yet. Maybe Principal Dumbledore will have a way." Aini knew that Acromantulas were a huge hidden danger, although they could bring a lot of profits. , but the current scale is too large and must be limited.
But there is no need to fight Hagrid now. Ani can naturally use Dumbledore to make Hagrid give in, but he doesn't want to hurt his friend's heart.
Next year, the Acromantula's attack on the Centaurs will be revealed, and Hagrid will be able to see their dangers clearly.
The individual strength of Acromantula is far from worthy of the rating of 5X level magical creatures. They have no spell-like abilities and can only rely on their high health and defense to jump around in front of wizards.
However, in terms of danger, the Ministry of Magic rates them very accurately.
As mentioned before, the hatching of Acromantulas is extremely dependent on magic power. Once the number is out of control, when their demand exceeds the limit of the magic power node where they are located, it will cause irreversible damage to the local magic power environment, and even cause the node to shrink and dry up.
Artificial breeding of Acromantulas is prohibited in most areas of the world, and when wild Acromantula colonies are discovered, encirclement and suppression will be launched.
Although they are a steady source of wealth, people would rather destroy the source of wealth than let their hometown be destroyed by the "source of wealth" due to a moment of negligence.
It is not difficult for adult wizards to hunt Acromantulas. At least after mastering phantom transformation, it will be difficult to lose one's life in front of these big guys.
Even a little wizard can still escape their pursuit as long as he can flexibly use the knowledge he has learned.
"Yes, use it flexibly. You must know that magic is never a rigid thing that follows a script. The shooting of 'biubiubiu~' can only allow you to defeat some fools." After Aini's words fell, the laughter of the little wizards rang out around him.
The progress of the first-year Transfiguration class exceeded expectations, and Aini specifically asked Professor McGonagall to modify the class schedule.
Today, all freshmen from the four colleges had an afternoon to experience their first outdoor transfiguration class in the green space outside the castle.
"Maybe graduation is still too far away for you, but I want to tell you that after becoming a real wizard, you don't have to sit back and relax." Ani's specialty is arousing the interest of young wizards in class.
Amidst the screams of the little wizards, models of various more dangerous magical animals and dark creatures emerged from the grass one by one, such as red hats, grindylows, Voldebats, crouching demons, trolls, werewolves, etc. They surrounded the little wizards.
In the panic of the little wizards, these strange-looking guys circled and stood in a row behind Aini.
The human-shaped ones look relatively normal, while the animal-shaped ones or those weird-looking guys have a standing posture that is hard to look at directly.
Standing upright makes it look like a rag draped over a clothes pole, and it needs to constantly move its wings to maintain balance.
The five-legged monster was even more comical, with several legs even fighting over who would support the ground.
When the dust settled, Aini asked everyone to come closer, then pointed behind him and asked: "What creatures do you know here? Is anyone ready to share knowledge with you? Students who answer correctly can get a mysterious gift .”
With more than a dozen little hands raised high, which child can resist the temptation of large figures?
Ani glanced around and saw that most of the people raising their hands were pure-blood and mixed-race children. Care of Magical Creatures would not be on the elective list until the third grade, and the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts had long been reduced to a clown, unless Hermione was like this. Students who enjoy reading books, and most young wizards of Muggle origin have not yet come into contact with this knowledge.
This was also Dumbledore's original intention of recruiting Ernie and Bill, to make up for the gaps in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class as much as possible.
"Michael Corner." He is one of Ani's favorite students. He is smart and studious. Even Severus mentioned him in casual conversations. You must know that only a very few students can get positive feedback from him. evaluation of.
Michael walked out of the crowd. His friendly black hair and brown eyes were one of the reasons why Ani liked him.
"This is Grindylow." After greeting Aini, Michael pointed to the second position from the left. "They always like to ambush behind aquatic plants, catching passing prey, and sometimes attack divers."
"Very good, five points for Ravenclaw. Please come back, Mr. Corner." Aini continued to name names, but deliberately avoided Hermione. If the little witch described all the models like a machine gun, there would be no one else. What happened.
"Neville." After being called by Ani, Neville hesitated for a moment, but he still walked through the crowd and walked to the front, pointing his hand at the silly big man directly behind Ani.
"That's a troll. My grandma said they're 12 feet tall and extremely powerful. But their magic resistance isn't outstanding, and their heads have obvious weaknesses."
"Exactly, five points for Gryffindor."
Creatures such as red hats, werewolves, vampires, zombies, etc. were pointed out one by one. When only one arm was raised high on the opposite side, Aini finally called her name in the little witch's somewhat resentful eyes.
The result was not what he expected. Hermione introduced the rest of the biological models in a commentary-like tone.
"Let us applaud Miss Granger for her wonderful explanation. Even I cannot explain it more wonderfully. Ten points for Gryffindor."
Aini waved his wand, and the model behind him began to collapse and disappear, until only a small green figure remained.
This is a Grindylow, with the iconic horns on its head, and its light green body twisting abnormally, looking a little disgusting.
"Grindylo are mostly found in lakes in Britain and Ireland. Their main food is fish, but they don't mind eating other meat. They will also attack humans."
As he spoke, Aini pointed his wand at Grindylow's mouth.
"As you can see, their teeth are very sharp, but the upper and lower jaws are not protruding and the biting surface is small, so they do not rely on biting to hunt. The sharp teeth are mainly used to fix prey and eat after successful hunting."
"When encountering such creatures with short and flat jaws that are not good at biting, we must be more careful about their other abilities. Just like Grindylow, look at their claws."
Under Aini's operation, Grindylow's model began to grow larger.
Pointing the wand at its slender fingers, Aini continued: "Their fingers are slender, but their claws are sharp, which is Grindylow's main means of attack."
"This little creature is not friendly to humans. If a wizard passes by the water plants where it lurks, it is almost 100% certain to be attacked. What should we do if we see it grabbing for us? Everyone is free to speak .”
As soon as Aini finished speaking, the little wizards chattered and expressed their opinions. Many of the ideas that could be said to be blocked in the brain circuit made everyone laugh. There were also little wizards gesticulating and simulating a battle with Grindylow. Hermione several times He tried to come up with his own opinions, but was interrupted by the sound of hip-hop from the side.
(｀⌒´メ)The smile gradually disappeared.
Before the little wizards' desire to perform completely exploded, Ani got the class back on track in time.
Many of the weird speeches were indeed very interesting, but he didn't want his first outdoor class to become a funny class.
Ani walked into the crowd and guided everyone to form a circle. No professor had ever put the entire grade of students together for class. Small classroom teaching was an inherent tradition of Hogwarts.
This is also related to the education environment in the UK. There are about 20 to 30 people in a class in primary school. In middle school, children start to take elective courses. Even compulsory courses with a large number of students are rarely taught under the promotion of small class education. More than 20 people.
Looking at the 40 or so kids gathered around, Aini said there was no pressure, which was two-thirds of a class in his middle school. Their class had at least 58 students.
