Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 132 Progress Begins with Students

MI6 found Irving simply because he had contact with Iron Man.

To put it bluntly, no matter how famous Iron Man is in the United States, other countries are still wary of him.

The Battle of New York, Sokovia's disappearance, and the widespread destruction caused by the appearances of these extraordinary heroes were all too familiar to the intelligence organizations of various countries.

Yes, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an Earth defense force funded by high-ranking officials from various countries. However, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s daily operations are not subject to outsiders' management, let alone the Avengers, who are under S.H.I.E.L.D. but not under its control.

Therefore, superheroes attract attention wherever they appear, and those who come into contact with them are also targeted. However, this time, MI6 made a small mistake. Owen is not an ordinary person, nor is he Iron Man's informant. He is a wizard.

After learning this, he made another move, casting a forgetting spell, and he disappeared from MI6's sight once again, this time disappearing without a trace.

After his flight was rescheduled, Irving flew to the United States on time. He didn't notify anyone and went directly to Ifamoni to attend the seminar.

It was said to be related to academic matters, but in reality, other schools just wanted to get some alien samples from him.

How could Iphamoni not know what was happening in the United States?

They knew about it, but they only thought of getting involved after seeing Hogwarts publish the first results of their alien research. By then, let alone the aliens, even New York City was almost back to normal.

As for asking S.H.I.E.L.D. for alien specimens, it's not uncommon for people to have made such requests, but the U.S. Ministry of Magic has blocked them, simply because of the existence of the Secrets Act.

The U.S. Ministry of Magic believes that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a force worthy of knowing about the existence of the magical world. Simply put, the U.S. Ministry of Magic doesn't think much of S.H.I.E.L.D., even with the increasing number of superheroes joining the Avengers.

They are merely technological toys for the wealthy, or a small force composed of lucky but poor Muggles; they have no chance of standing on equal footing with wizards.

In America, Evamony doesn't have the same status as Hogwarts in Britain. The Ministry of Magic's lack of cooperation, or even outright refusal, left the school helpless. So after struggling for so long, they could only invite Owen to come and request his research. And the reason was quite legitimate: America was the first place to invade aliens, and even if it was to resist the invasion, the American magical community would be the first to step up.

Irving couldn't refuse this reason, so he had no choice but to agree and share the vast majority of the research results.

This isn't some wasteful act of "selling off one's inheritance without a care in the world," but rather a way to highlight Hogwarts' grandeur and set an example for other schools.

This sharing is not a selfless act of giving. If you want to start researching, you have to give something in return. It could be the books in various schools or unique spellcasting techniques. Owen is open to all kinds of gifts. As long as you are willing to give, I will take it all. There is no need to pursue equality of interests. It is just for the sake of exchange.

His attitude earned him unanimous praise from many school leaders, so the seminar was a great success. After returning to Hogwarts, Owen used what he had learned from the exchange to enrich the students' curriculum once again.

In particular, Irving has moved alchemy from an elective course that was only offered in the third year to a compulsory course for all students. He will also serve as the head of the teaching group for this subject, and will be responsible for teaching it to students in the first and second years, as well as the sixth year.

In the first and second years, students learn theoretical knowledge. Only after three years, like potion-making, will students get hands-on experience. Starting in the sixth year, students who have already been differentiated by their talents will primarily learn cognition.

Because the influence of the British magical community has now greatly expanded, and the ancient wizards were extremely dispersed, it can be said that wizards can be found all over the world.

Irving, on the other hand, requires his students, even those without talent, to recognize which items are alchemical artifacts and whether they pose a threat to them.

They can't just die without knowing why, can they?

As for the young wizards who showed alchemical talent at an early age, there was a special alchemy workshop in the school with plenty of materials for them to practice.

It's okay if you mess up your practice, but if you come up with a brilliant new product, the school won't be stingy. They will help students apply for patents and use the school's business partnerships to sell it. The profits from the sales will be directly distributed to the students.

The school doesn't make money off students; it only shares profits with its partners.

Money isn't everything, but with money, various developments accelerate. The school has a large surplus of funds every year, which Owen uses to buy land. To this day, Hogsmeade and a large amount of surrounding land are under Hogwarts' name.

Due to the surge in student numbers, Irving has begun planning to build another school to accommodate the growing student population.

The seven-year college was established by the four great wizards to protect young wizards. They enter at age eleven and graduate at age eighteen. After that, the wizards go on to pursue their own paths in life and have nothing to do with the school anymore.

Magic schools all over the world follow this system, so there isn't a dedicated magic university to provide a more in-depth learning environment for adult wizards.

Owen had considered establishing the world's only magic college or expanding Hogwarts' functions, but after discussing with the old wizards and various professors, he ultimately gave up on the idea.

Because magic becomes stable after a wizard reaches adulthood, making spellcasting easier, this desire to learn diminishes.

Occasionally, some wizards will diligently pursue their studies, which will lead to a divergence in their research directions. Take Snape, for example. He excelled in all subjects during his school years, but after graduation, he focused his main energy on potions. As for dark magic, he only learned a little bit about it occasionally when he was young and reckless and went astray.

And then there's Professor McGonagall. Who dares say her spellcasting skills are lacking? Who dares say her wizarding dueling skills are subpar? But compared to her talent in Transfiguration, her other subjects seem insignificant.

It's not that wizards don't want to be omnipotent, but in order to break through to the legendary realm, they must become focused. If they want to develop in all aspects, the time it takes to enter the legendary realm will be greatly extended, so long that they may not even be able to touch the edge of the legendary realm until the end of their lives.

Therefore, ambitious wizards will choose a specialty, then study it, break through its limitations, and advance in their careers.

As for wizards who have no ambition, what they learned in school is enough. There is no need to work hard for it. Even if it is necessary for work, they can just study again.

It doesn't require profound expertise, just knowing how to use it is enough.

Why are Aurors praised?

Naturally, one must have high enough combat power and know enough magic. In the past, knowing the Armor Charm was enough to become an Auror, but now, if you haven't learned the Armor Charm by the third year, you'll have to repeat the year!

This year's students are not of uniform quality, so there are quite a few who haven't learned the Armor Charm by the time they are in third grade. Owen had to join in to help, and he personally led a group of students to practice by the Black Lake before breakfast and after dinner.
