Chapter 25: I Can Be Naughtier
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ivan smacked his lips as he finished the book. He wondered which master was so unlucky as to be targeted by Lockhart while narrating their experiences…
To be able to give such a detailed account, it was clear that he had been in close contact with many smelly trolls.
Yvonne closed the book and placed it back in its place. Even though she knew the troll's weaknesses, she still had to be prepared.
For example, the improvement of Potions or learning more powerful magic. In short, he lacked GPA again…
The only way to get GPA was to answer questions from the professors during each class, in addition to the usual lessons.
However, Ivan soon discovered that it was not easy to be a good student, as even answering the questions required competition these days.
Whenever the professor on stage asked a question, Miss Know-it-all would hold her hand up high and, with the professor's permission, deliver the answer quickly and accurately.
When Ivan joined them, the class became a two-person battlefield, with two arms raised high in the air.
Hermione seemed to be enjoying herself, and became more diligent in her studies, often staying in the library with Ivan until the lights went out.
Ivan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. All he wanted to do was earn some student points, but Hermione had cut his income by half.
Ivan had no choice but to resort to "special" means.
…
"The Disarming Charm and the Obstacle Charm are the next things we're going to focus on, and they're going to be one of the spells you're going to use most often in the future…"
In Charms, the shorter goblin, Professor Flitwick, was standing on a stool, spreading common magical knowledge to the young wizards and witches, occasionally waving his wand to demonstrate.
After teaching Charms for more than ten years, Professor Flitwick's teaching experience was very rich, and it did not take long for him to stir up the young wizards' learning mood.
"Okay, so who knows what the Disarming Charm is and what it does?" Professor Flitwick asked the students.
Hermione took the lead, raising her arms high and glancing over her shoulder at Ivan, her only threat in class.
However, to Hermione's surprise, Ivan stood up and addressed Professor Flitwick.
"The Disarming Charm is an Expellarmus (Expelliarmus) spell, which deprives the opponent of their wand after hitting them, and also has a certain impact force, depending on the level of the caster and the difference in magical power."
Professor Flitwick, who was standing on a stool and was about to ask Hermione a question, was caught off guard by Ivan's sudden outburst.
"Well said, Gryffindor two points more."
Professor Flitwick was quick to catch on, but Ivan's quick response was somewhat inappropriate, so Professor Flitwick cautioned him again.
"Also, Mr. Harls, I think you'd better raise your hand the next time you answer a question."
"Okay, Professor…" Ivan looked at the reward in his hand and sat down, satisfied.
Professor Flitwick nodded at Ivan's good-natured attitude, thinking that he was just passionate about learning.
"Then there's the other problem, the barrier spell…"
Ivan stood up again before Professor Flitwick could finish.
"The Impedimenta (Impedimenta) spell creates a magical barrier to stop a single-direction attack, with the advantage of being able to stack multiple spells at once to create a stronger defence, and the disadvantage of being unable to defend against an attack from another direction."
"Am I right, Professor…" Ivan smiled obediently at Professor Flitwick.
Hermione's eyes widened as she stared at Ivan, and this time it was over before she could even lift her hand.
The rest of the young wizards were trembling under Ivan's aura of genius. It was just answering a question. Was there a need to fight over it? It was too brutal…
"Yes," Professor Flitwick managed to say, and waved Ivan to a seat, this time without adding a point.
Ivan didn't care. The system's point-scoring rules only required the professor's approval, and points were awarded depending on the difficulty of the question.
"Let's move on to the next question…" Professor Flitwick cleared his throat, glanced at Ivan, then quickly changed the subject. "Never mind, I'll teach this class myself."
…
After learning how to answer questions in class, Ivan was able to earn GPA much more quickly, as Hermione, despite being a straight-A student and intelligent, was not as shameless as Ivan.
It was just that every time she saw Ivan, her cute little face would always be angry. At first, she even reminded Ivan that it was wrong to rush into class and that they should compete fairly.
Yvonne, of course, shook her head firmly. What a joke. How could you call it a snatch-and-grab between schoolboys? It wasn't like they were breaking Hogwarts rules.
It is estimated that even the Big Four of Hogwarts did not expect anyone to be so "loving" in their studies!
Ivan felt that even if they did, they would surely shed tears of relief in their coffins…
Hermione was left speechless by Ivan's words, especially when he used his five points deducted from his previous flying lesson as an excuse to make up for it.
While Ivan was happy, the other professors were having headaches. Most importantly, they did not know what to do with Ivan.
They had seen young witches and wizards causing trouble before, but this was the first time they had ever had to answer a lesson so quickly… In addition, Ivan's answers were always accurate and sincere, causing the professors to be too embarrassed to scold him.
Having had a taste of his own medicine, Ivan now had his finger in the pie for the final Fortress Potions lesson, intending to get a feel for Professor Snape's limits.
Snape, who had always been biased towards Slytherin and hostile towards Gryffindor, was not so easy to deal with. He personally warned Ivan at the end of the lesson that if he ever saw Ivan standing up to answer a question without permission again, he would strip Ivan of all the house branches he had earned in Beko!
However, as soon as Snape left, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Potions lesson over
Evaluation: Satisfactory (Excellent)
Evaluation: Severus Snape
Reward: 10 GPA]
"Darn tsundere…" Ivan couldn't help but complain. Then, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. It seemed that he could be more mischievous?
