Chapter 636

Whether it is the o.w.ls test for fifth graders or the n.e.w.ts test for seventh graders, the written test tests the theoretical level of little wizards. In the practice part, we pay more attention to the application.

Just like the first question Harry Met, turning the wine glass over or something, most students can do it. But if you want to win the praise of the examiner, you need to show something different.

Because of this, Harry's question seems simple, but it may not be easier to get a good score than the one Ron got.

At the very least, if Ron could fill all five cups, his grades would not be bad. It will not be like "turning the wine glass upside down". If you don't pay attention, you will be indifferent to everyone.

Here, after thinking hard for a while, Ron suddenly thought of Marca's strange and powerful freezing magic. Such unheard of magic was naturally beyond his reach, but freezing a glass of water could not pour him down.

"Cold as ice."

When he waved his magic wand and knocked gently on the cup full of water, with a spell, the water in the cup suddenly "clattered" and began to ice from the edge of the cup he knocked.

"Float off."

After the initial freezing spell was completed, the second spell was read out from his mouth with extra caution. As the spell came into effect, the lump of frozen ice jumped up from the cup and landed steadily on the table.

To be honest, Ron actually wants to start directly at the moment. But now the practice test of magic spell learning is being carried out. What if the examiner will deduct points without saying a word?

"Get bigger quickly!"

The third spell is the expansion spell. This spell works best when applied to a solid. If he doesn't freeze the water in advance, even if he tries his best, it's amazing that he can turn a glass of water into about two cups.

"Then... Er, split up! Oh..."

Ron was a little flustered here. Although this mantra can be found in the first grade standard mantra primary, it is a relatively easy to use mantra. But just look at it. It will be explained and practiced repeatedly in the next few semesters. It is an easy to learn but difficult to master magic spell.

In short, it is not easy to control the force when cutting hard objects. If you are not careful, you will "click" together with the things under the target.

This time, Ron's cutting spell was obviously flawed. Although the table was no big deal, the enlarged ice lump suddenly exploded. Two of the five pieces passed over the brim of the old witch examiner's hat opposite and went straight to the other candidate who was diagonally opposite.

"Small, be careful -" bang! "

That's Dean Thomas, in the same dormitory as Ron and Harry. He's a boy with black hair and skin. When the ice flew to the back of his head, he was trying to use a magic spell to make the flowers in the pot grow and bloom!

However, with a scream, Thomas's wand went straight into the soil of the flowerpot. Then, a loud explosion accompanied by a large amount of fresh soil flew away, splashing several people nearby.

"Bah, bah..." Ron vomited Saturn in his mouth, which made him look annoyed and said, "sorry, Dean, er... Sorry, dear lady."

There was so much noise in the examination room that Ron thought it must be over again. In the morning, the test paper of magic spell theory was not completed, and this kind of moth appeared in the afternoon. The course of magic spell learning is completely hopeless.

Who knows, the cold-faced old witch just took off her hat and gently shook off the soil on it. Then she waved her hand without expression.

"Mr. Ron Weasley, are you going to give up?"

"Oh, i... can I continue?" Ron said in surprise. "Er... Wait, I'll do it now! That... Floating!"

Ron was delighted to see that he could continue to complete the exam. He hurriedly recalled the flying ice with a floating spell, then put five cut ice lumps into the cup one by one, and carefully began to melt the ice with a fire spell.

In this test, he didn't use any difficult magic spells from beginning to end. If you have to say where the head here is the most difficult, I'm afraid it's the extremely basic "flame".

Maka used the fire curse to warm the things in the cup. It was used in the pig head bar. It was very effective to heat butter beer. So in those spell materials, he easily added this humble trick.

Because those magic spells with high learning threshold are difficult to use, Ron spent a lot of effort on these easy to use spells. It can be seen that the effect of such a display in the exam is still good.

At least, the cold faced old witch on the other side couldn't help brightening up when she saw his little skill.

After freezing a glass of water, expand it, and finally cut and melt it. It can be regarded as barely filling more than half of the five empty cups with water. Although the expansion spell is time effective, the application of this series of spells is enough for the examiner to give a good score.

After glancing at the cup, the old witch picked up the notepad with Ron's file and wrote a few words:

"The spell level is above the middle level, with the flexibility of multi spell cooperation, and specific spells (such as fire curse) have ingenious application conception and fine control ability."

After a little consideration, she added a little: "general mind, not confident enough."

In fact, there are many ways to answer this question. If you are smart enough, you can easily fill five cups with a glass of water by casting a shrinking spell on the cup. Of course, each student's ability bias is different, and the importance of intelligence, alertness and down-to-earth efforts is naturally equal.

After that, Ron's practice test continued, but there were no more accidents. When the old witch examiner finished scoring and signing on the file, Ron finally walked out of the auditorium with a stomach of anxiety.

"Ron, how's it going?" Harry and Hermione, waiting at the door, immediately gathered together as soon as they saw him coming out. "Just now dean was complaining that your ice hit the back of his head, causing him to paste the examiner's face with mud..."

"Oh..." Ron heard the speech and said bitterly, "I think I have to go to Dean to apologize or something! I hope I didn't let him fail in the exam..."

……

Not to mention that Ron is still worried about "bad luck" all day. The exam in the auditorium is still going on! When o.w.ls's curse practice exam is over, it is followed by the nightmare of graduates - the practice content of n.e.w.ts.

As far as the theory test in the morning is concerned, everyone is a test paper and a pen. It passed by without any difference. But in the afternoon practical examination, the gap between the two is suddenly reflected.

You don't have to go in and have a look. From then on until the evening, there was a lot of chaos in the closed auditorium all the time. The sound of explosion, impact, liquid flow... Even the flicker of fire in the window can be seen occasionally, which is really lively.

Every once in a while, one or two seventh graders with happy or sad expressions came out of the door, and then the door was tightly closed again.

Fortunately, there are not many students who can study n.e.w.ts. Although everyone's examination time is obviously not short, when the sunset shines on the whole castle and a layer of dazzling golden light, the noise of the whole day has finally come to an end.

After seeing off the last student, the examiners in the auditorium packed up their own things one after another. Maka, who was responsible for entertaining these old professors, also went in with Professor flavy.

"I can't believe it. I thought those troublemakers would cheat in the exam! But they all finished the exam honestly..."

As he walked, little flavie whispered to Marca, with an obvious surprise on his face.

"Hey," said Marca with a smile, "I have warned them that if they cheat, I will report it first! The twins have good abilities. If they take the test well, their grades would not be bad."

"Yes!" Professor flavy shook his head. "Those two children are too noisy..."

"It's a little noisy..." Maka shrugged. "But now that they have graduated, I'm afraid Hogwarts will be much quieter... Believe me, Professor flavy, sooner or later we will miss the days when they are still there!"

After that, he raised his head, nodded to some old wizards, and said with some respect: "Professor machiban, Professor tofferdi... You have worked hard today. Please go to the side hall and have a rest! In a little while, you can enjoy the rich dinner of Hogwarts!"

"Thank you. We're looking forward to it."

The leading lady of this time, Ms. machiban, dressed in a set of old-fashioned wizard robes with simple colors and no decorations, looks like a stingy old lady. She has neatly combed silver hair and a smile on her face, but her deep eyes are more calm.

But to be honest, this is actually a good old lady, at least Marca thinks so - although she sometimes makes people feel too serious.

"Mr. McLean, if necessary, we can help you restore the auditorium together." she looked at the auditorium and said, "I read here many years ago... Seriously, coming here every year can make me feel a few years younger!"
