Chapter 19 You are amazing, you are lofty!
The evaluation of magic school education is led by the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards. The ranking depends on each school's faculty, teaching standards, output, and... quality of graduates.
Hogwarts is not a problem in terms of funding. After all, there are two unjust funds from the British Ministry of Magic and the school trustees, but the teaching level is about to draw a big question mark.
That's right, the school has a professor of transfiguration at a historical level, a spell teacher who has won a duel champion, and a master of herbal medicine...
The advantages are outstanding, but the disadvantages are even more prominent:
A divination teacher who looks like a liar; a professor of history of magic who is waiting to be squeezed into a ghost; a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who changes every year.
Especially Defense Against the Dark Arts, there is a saying that has been circulating in major magic schools and wizard talent recruitment markets:
There are only two Defense Against the Dark Arts jobs in the world: one at Hogwarts and one at Other.
Defense against the Dark Arts in other schools is a popular and well-paid position, with high competitiveness, and you want to get in even if you break your head.
But after adding the Hogwarts qualifier, it becomes a tiankeng post, there is no one!
After all, in other schools, you will be dismissed at most, but in Hogwarts it may kill you.
Wizards with real talents would not go to Hogwarts to apply for employment. It is conceivable that the average level of the students' defense against the dark arts is far behind other schools.
With such a team of teachers, no matter how good the students are, they will be obsolete, and the education evaluation ranking can be outrageous!
Not to mention that the textbooks are seriously aging, they don’t update the version, they don’t correct errors, ghosts like Professor Binns even use textbooks from the era before his death...
Hogwarts can rank seventh in the educational evaluation, probably because of the name of the millennium institution and the face of the president of the Dumbledore Union.
Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharp knife.
After the red-nosed Fusco was fainted by Rove, the old headmaster Evra shouted angrily:
"Has Hogwarts fallen to this point?!"
"When I was in office, the ranking was still number one." Dai Lisi Deventer pushed her glasses and sighed: "At that time, the whole world was proud of Hogwarts, look now!
Alas, it is really lost. "
"What level is Hogwarts now? There are only a few professors. You, Quirrell, are teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Can he teach? Can't!" Eupracia Moore said angrily:
"The next ranking will be lower than Beauxbaton, and then lower than Durmstrang... There is nothing lower... I don't want to lose face!"
"Who is the greatest headmaster of Hogwarts, don't I need to say?" Phineas Black sneered:
"Whoever dares to nominate Dumbledore in the future, saying that his greatness is above mine, I will put the ranking on his face."
"Phineas..." Armando Dippet reminded, "Hogwarts fell out of the top five from your hand."
"What do you mean! Armando, are you so clean?" Phineas retorted:
"The secret room attack occurred in your tenure, which caused the school to close down almost, and the mysterious person was also cultivated by you when you were the principal..."
All the male and female old headmasters quarreled with each other, accusing each other of being responsible for the decline of Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat sounded silly, why did it start fighting so well? Rove is definitely a scourge and needs to be fired immediately!
Rove didn't know the idea of the Sorting Hat. He had already hidden his merits and fame, and quietly stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the principals.
The boy's eyes were drawn to the only creature in the room. On a tall gilded perch, stood a phoenix, the size of a swan, with brilliant red and gold feathers.
Rove recognized this strange magical creature at a glance. He walked over and slowly stretched out his hand, trying to touch Fox's beautiful tail feathers, but it turned its head and stared at the boy sharply.
It seemed that as long as Rove dared to touch it, he would be blinded.
Don't touch it, right?
You are amazing, you are noble!
Knowing that Fenghuang likes to eat seafood, Rove took out some pieces of sea hare from the pocket in the middle of his robe.
The sea hare is neither a rabbit nor a squid, but a snail-like mollusc. The shell has degenerated into an inner shell, and the back has a transparent thin shell skin, which is white and pearly.
Fox was instantly attracted by the scent. It flapped its wings lightly, left the branch it was perched on, and landed on Rove's shoulder.
Rove handed the sea bunny over, and at the same time pointed like a gust of wind, like lightning, and touched Fox's butt with lightning speed.
Ah so elastic, so firm.
There was a sudden "ding" in the boy's brain.
[One of Dumbledore's guardian phoenix was detected, triggering side mission 1:
Catch Fox, reward:
【Pure Tears】
Your tears will have the same magical effect as the tears of the phoenix, which can heal wounds.
Side mission 2:
Complete Fox's 100% domestication, bonus magic:
【Phoenix Nirvana】
After suffering fatal damage, it can be reborn as a baby in the fire.
(Task not completed)]
Sure enough... the tauren system was triggered again. If it was a wild phoenix, it probably wouldn't give such a generous reward, at most it would only be a few tail feathers.
But Fox has a master, and the moment is different.
But then again, not only the system is greedy, Rove is also greedy for Fox's body.
Among all the magical animals, the phoenix is definitely the top one in the pet list.
They have powerful flames; magical singing can uplift people's hearts and drive away fear; tears have healing effects... They are even immortal. At critical moments, they can help block "bullets" and effectively prevent brain openings!
If Rove can tame a phoenix and get the magic [Phoenix Nirvana], he can directly face Avada to eat big melons in the future, and he can be reborn anyway.
So the question is, where can such a good pet be adopted?
The answer is... look at the face!
There have always been only phoenixes that took the initiative to recognize their masters, and there were no phoenixes that were forced to be tamed by wizards.
Magical creatures like phoenixes are elegant and powerful, and they will not be forced to submit to the power of any wizard. They only look at fate... When fate comes, there will be.
In other words, the phoenix pays more attention to the drama of "when the tiger's body shakes, the head is bowed", so that there are only two phoenixes who recognize the master in the big magic world:
One, named Spark, became the mascot of New Zealand's Quidditch team, the Mottola Macaws; the other was Dumbledore's Fawkes.
Seeing the magical reward of "Phoenix Nirvana" given by the system, Rove can only stare blankly, there is no way to do it.
But without Phoenix to vote, it doesn’t mean that we can’t have a good relationship first. After Dumbledore passed away, we, as “honest people”, can also take over Fox.
Or it wants to lay eggs by itself...Rove can be close to the water and help it raise children.
Rove took out his treasured inventory and fed them to Fox.
Just as he was using eighteen martial arts to "please" Old Phoenix, a hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and the man said gently:
"This is the first time I've seen Fox eat food fed by strangers, it seems that he likes you very much..."
Dumbledore stood beside Rove at some point, put his arms around the boy's shoulders, sniffed, and said, "It smells so good."
Rove raised his head, raised the sea rabbit in his hand, and smiled at the old man:
"It's a Mediterranean sea hare, bred only with red algae, which gives it a rose-colored body and a fragrant flavor."
If it wasn't for the delicious food, it would be impossible for Fox to be easily touched by Rove!
"Of course, this is not the most delicious food." The boy said with a tusk:
"I know one ingredient, the king squid in the North Sea, which can only be caught in the deep sea, and the taste is not comparable to that of ordinary squid.
The method is also very simple, special butter crab roe sauce, a little Greek ultra-pure olive oil, Bordeaux white wine cooking, plus a special Italian method. "
"I have the ingredients, and I have made it a few times, and the taste is authentic..."
For a moment, Fox felt that the sea rabbit in his mouth was boring. He stared at Rove, turned around and lowered his head suddenly, picked up a few fallen phoenix tail feathers from the nest, and put them into Rove's hands.
"Fox wants to exchange its feathers with you, so that you can make it a king squid." Dumbledore laughed dumbfounded.
"A few tail feathers are not enough, how high is the cost of the king squid alone?" Luo Fu sighed and said, "However, I will pay a little money to pay Fox, your friend!
Fox, you can come to me at any time if you want to eat next time. "
Rove glanced at Fox's shiny fur, and since he couldn't get Fox's body for the time being, he was going to bald the old phoenix first.
