Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 132 One Day Before Freedom
"Merlin's beard! A day of freedom brings new amusement!"

"I bet it was Professor Levi who did it—nobody can surprise us like that every month!"

In the morning, the early-rising students gathered around the bulletin board, excitedly discussing the topic.

However, the school's overly lenient rules left them somewhat confused.

No taboos?

From what point onwards, and up to that day, what exactly can they do? What are they supposed to do?
A student mustered up the courage to ask Professor Li Wei a question right at the end of get out of class, and to his surprise, he answered it.

"Aren't you all secretly plotting something? Freedom Day is specifically for you to cause trouble."

The Weasley Twins—On this day, you can play pranks on the entire student body without fear of punishment.

You can also set a goal for yourself—after you leave the common room, beat any student you see, even those from your own college.

Alternatively, you could organize activities as a unit within your respective colleges, and try your best to win prizes—it's entirely up to you, it depends on your imagination.

After saying that, Li Wei waved his hand and left, leaving behind a group of excited students.

Livy's explanation of the day of freedom quickly spread throughout Hogwarts—and the students began to eagerly anticipate it.

At the same time, because of the grand banquet on May 30th, they are now able to endure the loneliness—they want to make these preparations before the time comes.

The Weasley twins have even begun to make strategic plans.

On that day, they would gather all the alchemical pistols and hand them over to the first-year students—they would all work together so that they wouldn't be easily defeated by the older students.

Their ultimate goal is to defeat all the students from the other three houses and make Gryffindor the only surviving house!
Of course, in the past, they would have only needed to make Slytherin's house suffer.

However, now that they have been cultivating a rapport with the Slytherin students, they are somewhat embarrassed to attack each other individually anymore.

Let's set a small goal: defeat the other three colleges—that makes sense, right?

However, they soon lost command.

This time, even the older students participated.

If we're talking about pressure, fifth and seventh graders actually face the most pressure.

However, out of respect for Professor Li Wei, the pressure of their studies, and their increased maturity, they never caused any trouble at the school.

But this day of freedom was the best and only outlet for their frustrations that Professor Li Wei had secured for them, and they didn't want to miss it.

On May 26th, students from the four colleges, led by their respective seventh-year seniors, along with their prefects and student council presidents, held their first meeting in the prefects' private restroom, establishing the basic policy of the four colleges competing against each other on Free Day.

On May 27th, preparations for the battle were in full swing.

On May 28th, the leaders of the four parties met again and set a prize—the academy that stands last will receive the right to use a crown once, additionally sponsored by Professor Li Wei.

After the meeting ended, the leaders of each college offered a prize – the student with the most "kills" would win the prize for the competition.

In addition, they will personally offer rewards to students who perform exceptionally well in this "war".

Including but not limited to rare potion ingredients, collections of evil curses, and exotic magical items, the nature of this day of freedom has changed since some point in time.

For older students, the initial participation has evolved into full engagement.

But this has nothing to do with Professor Levi's casual remark that "the person who can lead their academy to victory should also be able to thrive in the magical world in the future."

Professor McGonagall was initially very reluctant to pass the Freedom Day.

But Li Wei's methods always produced results so quickly they were almost immediate—the students, who should have been under increasing pressure as finals approached, were now exhibiting an eerie pre-battle silence. Even the students dueling in the corridors had disappeared—because they were afraid their tactics would be discovered.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione huddled together, seriously discussing whether or not to use the invisibility cloak.

Ron strongly agreed, while Hermione hesitated.

After much deliberation, Harry ultimately decided against it—he preferred to succeed in this battle through his own efforts.

In fact, he was very confident in himself—as long as he was careful of the older students and Cedric, he shouldn't lose to anyone else.

However, on May 29th, something happened that most students never expected.

The fourth-grade student quietly made a breakthrough.

Under pressure, at similar emotional junctures, and with a shared goal.

Six groups in a row successfully connected with each other's magic.

The earliest group was Cedric's group, and there were three other groups that were also students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

In another class, the two teams that succeeded were those of the Weasley twins.

They gave their presentations on the same day in Li Wei's class.

Li Wei was very generous about this, allowing everyone in their six groups to experience the crown—the Weasley twins exercised their rights on the spot.

After class, in front of a large group of students, he put the crown on his head.

"oh--!"

As soon as he put on the crown, George started screaming.

"What did you think of? What did you think of!"

Fred screamed excitedly beside him, as if he could already see the birth of a genius idea.

"We have to do something big! We have to do something big!"

George said excitedly.

He leaned close to Fred and began to whisper frantically.

The other students, seeing his appearance, were even more envious of the wisdom that the crown brought—they resolved to put in double the effort to study after the day of freedom revelry!
"Oh—brother—you're a genius!"

Fred's eyes lit up as he listened to George's plan.

After the five-minute experience ended, he immediately took the crown from George's head and, amidst Fred's somewhat stunned gaze, called out.

"Oh—wisdom is flooding my mind! I understand everything you said earlier!"

The two brothers clasped hands tightly together, uttering incomprehensible words to onlookers.

Fortunately, according to Li Wei's rules, each person can only experience the crown for five minutes.

After they finished, the remaining students, filled with anticipation, took turns wearing the crowns to experience it.

"Oh--"
