Chapter 340 Investigator in Rune Class

( ) The environment of the ancient magic text classroom is as good as ever, bright and transparent, with sunshine everywhere.

Of course, because of the excellent ventilation in this classroom, if the windows are not covered in windy weather, it will actually be a bit cold.

However, today is the day when the magic text class will continue to be taught, and even the notice is posted on the bulletin board, so this place is also crowded with students for a long time.

As soon as there were more people, it seemed that the temperature in the room was much higher.

The little wizards came here early, whether they were elective students or auditors, they all sat together and chatted, and it seemed that the atmosphere was quite lively.

It's just that among these students, there is a girl who seems to be a little bit uninterested.

"No, I should be happier. I must raise my hands a few more times later!" Hermione turned her eyes away from Luna's back, flipping through her textbook absently.

"Besides, that Umbridge will definitely come over today... I can't make any trouble for Maca, so be careful when answering questions."

"No, no, shouldn't it be better not to raise your hand?"

She was in a mess, and she turned to the end of the book, but she couldn't even read a single word.

"Lu, Luna..."

On the two side-by-side seats by the window in front, Luna and Hannah Abbott sat together on the left and the right.

"What does this 'n' mean? Why does it represent 'oppression' and 'strength' at the same time?"

Although Hannah has grown up a lot since she first entered school, even her appearance has changed a lot. It's just that her somewhat introverted and rash personality remains the same as her two golden braids.

Right now, she is pointing to the rune characters on her book and timidly asking her new friend Luna.

Luna heard the words, recovered from the bright and sunny blue sky outside the window, and looked down.

The thick book and the pages with slightly rough edges seem to be difficult to read under the sunlight.

She stretched out her hand to cover the shading light, and the warm and warm sunlight smudged on the back of her white and soft hand, even the finest hairs were visible.

"Maca explained it in class...'n' stands for 'oppression' and 'restraint',

So there will be a feeling of 'disappointment'. But only under pressure can there be 'potential power'. "

Luna explained softly, and the slight voice was like a ray of warm wind surrounding Hannah's ears, making her feel itchy at the base of her ears, and she shrank her neck subconsciously.

"Oh, you missed the word 'potential' in your notebook." Luna glanced at the notebook in Hannah's hand, and said leisurely in a trance.

"Ah!" Hannah nodded belatedly, "Thank you, Luna."

When Luna heard this, a smile appeared on her face, as delicate and soft as if it was about to melt into the sun.

"It's okay." She shook her head.

By the way, both Harry and Ron wanted to come here, but they had to go to divination class during this class. Although they are not happy from the bottom of their hearts, there is nothing they can do if they choose, isn't it?

At this moment, there are still about a few minutes before the class bell rings.

Suddenly, the humming in the classroom suddenly stopped, and the little wizards who were originally focused on the books or the scenery outside the window suddenly looked up, but they didn't find Maca.

Probably it happened too many times recently, so when everyone didn't see Maca, they turned their heads habitually and looked towards the back of the classroom.

Sure enough, it was Umbridge who arrived.

She was still wearing the "pink and tender" clothing that only girls would choose, and she still had a "sweet and greasy" hypocritical smile on her face.

At this moment, she was sitting down on the backmost chair, and then put the writing board that she had been carrying with her for the past few days on her lap.

Considering that this small classroom was already full of people, the chair under her buttocks might have been brought by herself.

When she found that almost all the students were turning their heads to stare at her, she indifferently expanded her smirk, making the little wizards who were tired and flustered turn their heads in a hurry.

If Umbridge is capable, at least now, wherever she goes, little wizards will subconsciously avoid her.

Although her disgusting "charm" is really unadmirable.

Umbridge's arrival was just as Hermione expected, as if a basin of ice water had been poured into the classroom, and the lively atmosphere that had been originally lively dissipated without a trace.

"Hasn't Maca arrived yet? Or has it been hidden like in the first class?" Hermione couldn't help but worry secretly, "It's definitely not good to keep playing tricks... That guy must be prepared .”

Of course, Maca didn't have the interest to do it again, he just simply entered the classroom by stepping on the bell.

"Jingle Bell--"

At the sound of the class bell, everyone was shocked suddenly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door of the classroom.

"Patter."

Just as the bell was about to disappear, a foot stepped on the classroom floor. Then, under everyone's gaze, Maca walked through the door opening with a faint smile and walked to the back of the desk.

He gently placed the textbook in his hand on the desk of the desk, and then looked around the classroom naturally.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how is everyone doing?" Maca asked, "I remember that before asking for leave, I asked Filch to post a notice for everyone to study by themselves, right?"

"Of course, even when I was compiling this textbook, I had already written it in detail. But in order to limit the space, there are always more details..."

"So, let's continue to read the content of the previous class together!"

Having said that, he paused for a while, and was about to continue his lecture. But Umbridge who was behind had coughed lightly and stood up.

"McLean, ahem, Professor McLean..."

Umbridge showed what he thought was the softest smile, and said "brittlely":

"Perhaps you don't mind me reminding you? As a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, especially an 'excellent teacher' like you, not only do you not apply for leave in advance, but you also let students study by themselves... "

"... Isn't that a little irresponsible?"

Maca didn't even change his expression, he just smiled and nodded to Umbridge, and then shook his head, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Professor Umbridge—"

"I am now listening here as a 'Ministry of Magic Special Appointee, Hogwarts Senior Investigator'."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was rudely interrupted by Umbridge, but Maca didn't take it lightly. He nodded again, and his smile became a little more meaningful.

"Really? Senior Investigator?" There was a little confusion between his brows, "Investigate what?"

"Actually, there is quite a lot of work!" Umbridge suddenly changed into a whining voice, which made goosebumps all over the little wizards, "For example... the background of the teachers at Hogwarts Hey, the level of education implemented, whether the content of the class meets the corresponding level... and so on."

"Oh! That's really good. Our Ministry of Magic still seems to be very concerned about the learning and growth of the next generation!" Maca said, looking Umbridge up and down again, "But——"

Here comes the topic!

Umbridge reacted immediately, and immediately concentrated his attention, always ready to deal with Maca's next remarks.

"However, Senior Umbridge..." Maca seemed to have almost forgotten, before continuing after a pause, "Ah! Senior Inquisitor, um... It's not that I'm questioning you... I just want to I know, are you qualified to evaluate the teaching level of teachers?"

Even though Umbridge squinted his eyes, the greasy smile on his face was bigger than before.

"If you want to talk about in-depth academic research, then of course I don't have the qualifications!" She shyly stroked the ends of her hair next to her ears as if she was a little embarrassed, "But in school, the magic that is taught to children Of course knowledge 'must' be 'limited', a kind of enlightenment and guidance..."

"Don't look at me like this. I also graduated from Hogwarts and took the ..s exam. If it's 'what should be taught in school', I think I should understand it too, don't I?"

Her words were clearly prepared, not only did she speak clearly, but she also emphasized a series of key words.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with these views of hers, and it is a bit hard to pick out if people want to criticize them.

The students in the classroom with more active brains also saw the sparks from the collision of the two professors. They definitely supported Maca, but they couldn't help sweating at this moment.

"Of course, of course." Maca nodded and said, "But 'knowledge of magic', it's hard to tell whether it's deep or shallow! It's like the 'Fire Charm' that everyone learned in the first grade. It could be—”

"Blazing flames." "Boom!"

The Maca wand pointed out the window, and a fire dragon made of flames flew past a row of windows. The little wizards were all startled at first, but then they all became excited.

"...It can also be like this." Maca said with a smile.

"Please...ahem...please pay attention," Umbridge's face suddenly turned pale, "isn't this the content of the Ancient Runes class?"

"Although what you said is not really right... well, I'm just giving you an example." Maca shrugged and said indifferently, "Since you don't like the 'Fire Charm' very much, then I'll change it to a more ancient magic spell." An example of literary atmosphere!"

"Like..."

At this point, Maka tapped the blackboard behind her with her wand without looking back. In just a moment, a large character appeared on it.

"...do you know 'it'?"
