Chapter 68

~7 min read 1,250 words

Chu Yang, who had received test-oriented education since childhood, was good at breaking down problems into easy-to-understand content and then teaching them to his classmates.

Compared to the college entrance examination in his previous life, the difficulty of Hogwarts exams was simply not as good as a primary school student's final exam.

In terms of doing problems, even Dumbledore was not as professional as Chu Yang.

If conditions permitted, Chu Yang even wanted to make a set of "Five Years of Simulation, Three Years of College Entrance Examination" to let the little wizards experience the pain he had suffered back then.

It was precisely because Chu Yang often tutored his classmates that the overall grades of Hogwarts freshmen this year were higher than those of previous sessions.

Students with good grades made teachers happy, so in the eyes of the teachers, Chu Yang's image was getting better and better.

Most of the classmates and teachers liked Chu Yang, but because of this, Dumbledore suddenly began to worry.

The more excellent Chu Yang was, the more Dumbledore could see the shadow of Voldemort in him, but what gratified him was that Chu Yang expressed disdain for the theory of bloodline.

For the past two months, Dumbledore would occasionally talk to Chu Yang when he was free.

The young man's occasional amazing words.

Often gave Dumbledore some kind of inspiration, thereby forgetting his current age.

Many times, Dumbledore could hear from Chu Yang's usual remarks that he hated the decay and stubbornness of the magical world, especially regarding "bloodline" and "family."

There was once such a discussion in the Headmaster's office.

Chu Yang asked: "Is the first wizard to appear in the world great?"

Dumbledore answered without hesitation: "Of course!"

Chu Yang asked again: "Then do you think he was pure-blood or Muggle-born?"

Since he was the first wizard in the world, there must have been no wizards before that. Dumbledore subconsciously wanted to answer, but fell silent before the words came out.

Chu Yang said leisurely: "All the glory of pure-blood families originated from Muggles. This conclusion can even be extended to the entire wizarding community. The magical world is originally an extension of the non-magical world, like a sturdy branch of a big tree."

"If the two are completely separated, even the sturdiest branch will wither. Thus, it can be seen that after the magical world leaves the non-magical world, it is nothing but wood without soil."

"In fact, compared to the creativity shown by the non-magical world, the magical world has begun to decline. You should have noticed this."

Dumbledore took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily. The origin of wizards that Chu Yang described was a very sensitive issue in the entire magical world.

Because that was indeed an indisputable fact.

As for the prosperity of the non-magical world, Dumbledore naturally saw it in his eyes, especially those magical creations that could be driven without any magic power, which often made this centenarian have to admire the wisdom that belonged to Muggles.

Chu Yang hadn't stopped his mockery, saying contemptuously: "The term pure-blood wizard is full of the smell of decay like the nobility of the Middle Ages, like the residue of history."

"In the 20th century, no one in England regards the nobility as a representative of power, and even the Queen is just a mascot."

"Today's Muggles may grow into the seeds of pure-blood families tomorrow because of their outstanding talent, and today's pure-blood families will also gradually become one of the Muggles because of mediocrity."

"To summarize with an ancient Eastern proverb, that is, are kings and nobles born with a special status?"

Dumbledore tapped the table and smiled helplessly: "Although I have learned many languages, most of them stay at the level of being able to read books. This kind of ancient proverb..."

"Please forgive my rudeness." Chu Yang bowed slightly and smiled, then translated the meaning of this proverb. After Dumbledore heard it, his expression looked very emotional.

"In this era, if wizards still cannot let go of their prejudices and boldly innovate to open up the future, they will sooner or later be submerged by the torrent of history."

The topic was stopped here by Dumbledore, and then Chu Yang left the Headmaster's office.

At this point... Dumbledore's worry that Chu Yang would become the next Dark Lord was completely eliminated.

But a new distress welled up in Dumbledore's heart.

Chu Yang would indeed not become a Dark Lord, but his remarks also showed a lot of dissatisfaction with the magical world. Dumbledore did not know what he would do because of this after he grew up.

"Innovation, change, future..."

Dumbledore murmured these words repeatedly, and finally fell into boundless silence.

On Halloween, Chu Yang, who had no classes, got up very early and was the first student to walk into the library.

Such an unusual scene made Madam Pince, the librarian, couldn't help but look at him with surprise.

"Mr. Chu Yang, today is Halloween. Don't you plan to spend it with your friends?"

Having served as a librarian for so many years, this was the first time Madam Pince had seen a student come to the library to study on Halloween.

Chu Yang replied: "I plan to read for a while in the morning and go out at noon. Thank you for your concern, Madam Pince."

"They all say you are a genius, perhaps only I have seen your diligence." Madam Pince said indignantly: "You are the most diligent student I have ever seen!"

"Thank you." Chu Yang smiled shyly, then took out a magical permit with Dumbledore's signature on it, "This is a permit given to me by Headmaster Dumbledore. I hope to read some books in the Restricted Section."

"It really is Headmaster Dumbledore's signature!" Madam Pince glanced at Chu Yang in surprise.

Chu Yang could be sure that if he borrowed too many books related to Dark Arts, or books with dangerous content, Dumbledore, who was observing in secret, would decisively terminate the opportunity he had worked so hard to win.

To be on the safe side, Chu Yang planned to read only some spells that he couldn't reach at the current stage but were not particularly dangerous.

For example, practical spells like 【Apparition】 or 【Undetectable Extension Charm】.

These were also spells that Chu Yang in other worlds needed very much at the moment.

In terms of combat, spells had limited effects because the enemies Chu Yang had to face in other worlds often had explosive physical fitness, and the casting time of spells was too long, which easily became a flaw.

In terms of lethality, among the three Unforgivable Curses, only the Killing Curse could be considered a truly offensive spell. Death upon being hit was indeed very strong, and attacks at the soul level were difficult to be exempted.

But the premise was that you had to hit the target...

The Cruciatus Curse was more suitable for torturing enemies and was a terrible punishment, but there was no lack of tough guys in the Naruto and Pirate worlds who could withstand this pain. As for the Imperius Curse, the situation was about the same.

After careful consideration, Chu Yang in the magical world clearly grasped his positioning—to become a logistics person who could assist "himself" in various worlds.

Learning and trying to innovate more practical and powerful spells would be Chu Yang's main goal in the future.
