Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 149 Snape's Furious Outburst

Levi paid no further attention to the aftermath of the Ministry of Magic's visit.

However, just because he doesn't care about others doesn't mean that others don't care about him.

After Fudge and Ackerman met up with the examiners in charge of proctoring, they told them the results of the 'extra test'.

Levi's arrogance and Cedric's performance completely exceeded their expectations.

After discussing it together, the group realized that it was indeed true.

After ruling out the possibility of cheating, there is indeed another possibility—that the students only excelled in the three courses of Charms, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

If we connect this to the fact that Levi was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, then it does make sense to some extent.

Although this result may seem somewhat alarming.

In other words, the reason why the students performed so well in these three courses was the radiating effect of Li Wei's excellent teaching results—the Defense Against the Dark Arts course itself included parts of Charms and Transfiguration.

This made everyone very curious about what Levi had done. The little wizard represented the future of the magical world.

Although the British wizarding world has produced a Dumbledore, due to the influence of the two previous Dark Lords, there is actually a subtle trend of "going backwards" nowadays.

When Dumbledore completely steps back, they will need a core group to step up.

Li Wei's groundbreaking achievements in education were undoubtedly a powerful stimulant for them.

The examiners, being educators themselves, were naturally very curious about Li Wei's educational philosophy.

After the exam week officially ended, they didn't rush to leave. Instead, they set aside a day to visit Li Wei, hoping to learn some educational philosophies from him.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Since the person had come to ask for advice in such a polite and even somewhat humble manner, Li Wei naturally did not refuse and shared some of his understanding of education.

However, the core point is just this:
The education at Hogwarts in the past was really too primitive, too barbaric, and too outrageous.

Professor McGonagall, who was sitting in on the sidelines as the vice-chancellor, looked somewhat embarrassed—she simply couldn't bring herself to be angry with Levi anymore.

Although the students' OWL and NEWT results will not be available for some time, the examiners have already hinted at the trend—this year's students' results are so good that they are sure to cause a sensation in the British wizarding world.

In fact, they had already discussed how to keep things secret afterward—to hide the educational results for a few years, and then give the other ministries of magic a big surprise at a crucial moment!
Not to mention that Professor McGonagall already knows the grades of the younger wizards.

At this point, she had only one attitude towards Li Wei:

If you produce so many 'O's in a year, then whatever you say in education is correct.

While Professor McGonagall was lost in thought, the Ministry of Magic officials had already begun a serious academic debate with Levi—about how to better educate students.

Then, they were utterly defeated.

Because Li Wei's teaching results in just one year powerfully demonstrated how effective his teaching methods were—moreover, there was no shortage of comparable examples in this area.

For example, Potions, which has little to do with Defense Against the Dark Arts, has only been slightly more theoretically proficient in by young wizards because of the limited influence of Levi's education.

This has resulted in their potions grades remaining a mess. This is the most talked-about topic among the young wizards in the corridors lately.

I heard that Professor Snape was very angry and declared that fifth-year students who did not get an "O" were not qualified to continue studying Potions with him.

But his standard was already 'O', so this statement didn't really hurt the students. What he could do more often was find reasons and excuses to deduct points from students in the hallway.

However, he was not without his grievances against the Slytherin students.

It is said that Snape has been secretly preparing many things, and is already gearing up for next year—a piece of news that has made many young wizards uneasy.

Professor Levy was already enough for them, but with a mad Professor Snape added on, could they really hold on?

Feeling ashamed of his 'poor' performance in Potions class, Snape went to Levi's office with a dark expression.

"Snape? What's wrong?"

Li Wei's tone remained calm.

But now, no matter what his attitude was, Snape felt that the other person was mocking him.

Moreover, he realized something—he might not have cared before, but now that the students' 'terrible' grades were right in front of him, Snape had to pay attention.

He even felt extreme anger!
"Li Wei, I have a small question that I need you to answer for me."

He practically forced out the last few words through clenched teeth.

"I noticed that in your supposedly all-powerful practice book, which students regard as the ultimate guide, there seems to be one subject missing?"

"Oh—you mean Potions?"

Li Wei suddenly realized—he had indeed forgotten to input the knowledge related to potion-making into the main unit of the practice book.

After all, this wasn't within his considerations—and since the practice question guide had just been launched, he also had to consider whether the large amount of content would scare the students.

But Snape was even angrier when he saw him like that.

Do you know how difficult and valuable it is to train a potion apprentice?
Are you so narrow-minded that your brain, the size of a fire crystal bean, can only hold knowledge of spells and duels, and cannot accommodate even a fraction of the mysteries of potions?

"Alright—alright—Snape."

Li Wei reached out his hand to comfort him.

“I know you’re not satisfied with the students’ grades—but actually they’ve done much better than the previous year, I think you should be content.”

"You dare talk to me about grades!"

"Why wouldn't I dare to say it?"

Levi found it somewhat amusing to see Snape in a rage.

"I've always said there's something wrong with your teaching methods, but you just haven't taken it seriously. Now that there's a problem, you're coming to me for help?"

Snape's face darkened, and he said resentfully:
"Let's keep things separate. The problem lies in the teaching methods. The problem is that you didn't include potion-making content in your practice guide!"

"I understand—I'll add it during the summer vacation so the students can study at home. Don't worry—I can finish this today. Do you want me to assign them some homework?"

Seeing Li Wei's cooperation, Snape stroked his chin in a daze, seemingly pondering this extremely tempting possibility.

He was furious at the students' drastically different performances in different courses.
