A certain Hogwarts professor of runes.

But what does level 6 magic mean? Just two years ago, with two level 6 spells and a little bit of skill, he took down seven Aurors from the American wizarding world in an instant!

Unparalleled speed and devastating magical power—that's how Felix describes himself.

It was precisely because Felix forcibly skipped two levels and mastered two level 6 spells at the end of his fourth year that he had enough confidence to face the outside world.

Felix sighed, thinking that if he had such excellent reflexes, he might not need to rely on drugs to use his ultimate move.

Fortunately, he didn't waste those three years after graduation; a new kind of magic was already taking shape.

Here, Felix expresses his deepest gratitude to the dark wizards who have made indelible contributions to his magical career!

Thank you for breaking the law.

……

Felix sat on the other side, flipping through the materials provided by Professor McGonagall, occasionally copying down some information and recording some statistical data—a skill he had honed during his two years in the Muggle world.

In the past two years, he has worked for three companies, and each time he left, the company was reluctant to let him go. This is not because he cast a confusion spell!

In the afternoon, Felix and Professor McGonagall enjoyed afternoon tea together, during which Felix raised a question.

“Teaching assistant?” McGonagall asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s an assistant, which can be understood as someone who helps the professor handle some miscellaneous tasks, such as organizing research materials, grading papers, supervising exams, and auditing courses,” Felix corrected. “Of course, there are some small perks.”

Professor McGonagall seemed to understand. She rolled her eyes slightly. What assistant? I think you just want to slack off!

Just as Professor Snape predicted, "Felix is ​​a typical Slytherin!" Having secured his teaching position, he's already finding ways to shirk his duties!

“I don’t think it’s the right thing for professors to delegate their work to students,” Professor McGonagall said sternly, pursing her lips.

“Professor McGonagall, you’ve misunderstood me. I actually just want to nurture outstanding students.”

Professor McGonagall gave me a look that said, "Don't try to fool me."

"It's true. In my plan, I don't intend to establish my own professors' club in the first year, after all, I need time to familiarize myself with teaching and the environment."

The so-called professors' club is where certain professors invite students from various colleges who have performed well enough in their courses to get together and study magic.

Commonly known as "special treatment".

For example, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club holds events from time to time to teach magic and skills that are not covered in the classroom or in exams.

Professor McGonagall nodded; precisely because Felix was a newcomer, she hadn't mentioned it to him at all.

"You mean, you want to scout talent in advance? To prepare for next year's club?" McGonagall asked.

"That's right!"

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and decided that it was a good idea, and it would also be very beneficial to the students. The extra guidance alone would be enough to attract top students. As the only outstanding graduate with a dominant level of excellence in recent decades, Felix was fully qualified.

As for underachievers? Who cares what they think? It has absolutely nothing to do with them!

There are no underachievers in the professors' club.

"So what are your criteria?" Professor McGonagall inquired. Such opportunities were rare, and she was prepared to abuse her power—no, to recommend talents from her own college without regard to kinship.

Felix thought for a moment and then suggested a few points. "Well... first, a proactive learner, someone who is willing to learn and has a strong thirst for knowledge. Second, a good memory. Third... not too high in the grade, since this is my first assistant, and I want to spend some time training him."

"By the way, the grades for ancient magic runes aren't important; I have special teaching techniques," he added.

Felix thought about it again and felt that these were pretty much all the requirements.

In reality, he just wanted someone to help him with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks. But even tools have different levels; a low-level, academically challenged tool is less useful than a single magic spell from him.

The "study-talented tool" type is different. Not only is it easy to use, but with a little training, it can be developed into a teaching assistant, research assistant, or even a partner. It can be said to be extremely profitable.

Professor McGonagall stopped eating her snacks and quickly went through the list of Gryphon wizards in her mind. Wood was out of the question, as he clashed with Quidditch; Percy was good, but he was already in fifth grade and had to prepare for his OWLs exams this school year…

The Weasley twins? She'd probably be sent back in a couple of days! But those two definitely have potential…

Immediately, a name popped into my mind.

"You mean Hermione Granger?" Felix asked, somewhat surprised. Wasn't that the name of one of the adventure trio?

Being in the same year as Harry Potter means he's only a second-year student this year?

“Yes, she almost perfectly meets your requirements—a love of knowledge, an excellent memory, and young age.” Professor McGonagall spoke highly of her, as she had a good impression of Miss Granger because there was a rumor that one of Granger’s nicknames was “Little Granger.”

Seeing Felix's hesitation, Professor McGonagall recommended the Weasley twins, but told him beforehand about their terrible pranks.

"I'll talk to them when school starts," Felix said, but he ultimately couldn't make up his mind.

Chapter 7 Lesson Preparation

After reviewing the information, Felix took his leave.

On his way back, he stopped by Diagon Alley and bought two sets of ancient magic script textbooks for grades three through seven from Flourish and Blotts. One set was brand new, and the other was a "treasure" he had spent a lot of time carefully selecting from piles of old books.

The old textbooks came from four top students. Although their handwritings were different, their notes were all very detailed. He felt he could refer to them as a kind of research.

The next day, he began the intense and exciting lesson preparation process, first flipping through the textbook—surprisingly, it was very simple!

Professor Babling, as expected of an expert in ancient runes, selected a very unique set of teaching materials: they were based on current mainstream viewpoints, but also included a certain proportion of practical runes.

The prevailing view is that ancient magic script is an ancient writing system used by ancient wizards to record magic, and that the responsibility of modern researchers is to translate those surviving magical texts.

This is only part of the truth. In fact, although they are all called "ancient runes," their history is actually quite long. In ancient times, they were mysterious patterns used to carry the magic of wizards and were widely used in ancient magic and ancient alchemical creations.

These ancient magical runes are the power that Felix seeks, and they are also the scope of his research.

He then went through the notes of several top students, and the parts about key points, difficult points, understanding methods and solutions were very enlightening for him—this could help him understand how the young wizard viewed the course.

That's why he likes top students; after all, birds of a feather flock together.

With the top student's notes and the syllabus he obtained from Professor McGonagall, he had a very clear understanding of the teaching content he needed to complete.

Next, we need to consider the teaching methods.

Although he had obtained the teaching position he had always longed for, and Hogwarts' thousand-year-old library had once again opened its doors to him, he was, after all, a legendary graduate. He couldn't very well let people criticize his teaching when he returned to his alma mater, could he?

He can't bear the humiliation! People from Slytherin are so concerned about their image!

"How can I make it more engaging?" Felix pondered repeatedly, and the first thought that popped into his mind was the "sea of ​​questions" approach.

At this moment, he is not fighting alone! The lingering psychological shadows of numerous test-takers from both past and present lives have attached themselves to him.

A strange, cloying laugh came from inside the cabin.

Getting back to the point, Felix took out a piece of parchment and wrote the words "practice makes perfect" on it. He then introduced two branches: one was the advantage, which read "quickly consolidates learned knowledge"; the other branch represented the disadvantage, which read "easily triggers resistance".

Felix certainly wanted to achieve something, but he also knew what level those unreliable little wizards were at—if he didn't want to surpass Professor Binns to become the "most unpopular professor," he had to be careful.

“The key is to be both interesting and informative, but being interesting is the opposite of the 'sea of ​​questions' strategy…” Felix murmured, “Perhaps we can start by writing diaries and short essays in ancient magical script.”

Time flew by as I pondered...

"Final assessments are also very important; we could consider adding a practical component."

Ancient magic texts are inherently dry, but they are actually essential knowledge for in-depth research into the mysteries of magic, connecting ancient magic on one end and ancient alchemy on the other.

The former represents immense power, while the latter represents once-glorious magical creations.

“Ancient magic is not feasible; I can’t even handle it now. But using what I’ve learned to complete, or at least repair, an alchemical artifact is a viable approach…” Felix entered a kind of “brainstorming” phase, with various thoughts and inspirations bursting forth. The quill on the table danced rapidly, leaving afterimages in its wake.

By evening, Felix had completed the initial design of the course.

"As expected of me." He looked at his work with satisfaction: three parchment sheets filled with dense text and flowcharts.

The remaining question is what alchemical artifacts to use as the teaching medium.

This was no easy task, because Felix had no intention of preparing five alchemical artifacts for grades three through seven—too much trouble and too much time for his studies.

He plans to choose an appropriate alchemical item and divide it into different difficulty levels.

For example, third-grade students only need to complete tasks such as "connection", "connection", "balance", and "coordination", which are analogous to connecting wires or pushing and pulling switches in physics experiments.

As for seventh grade, I'm not asking you to build a rocket, but I can't expect you to make a small, heavy-duty vehicle. Surely that's not too much to ask.

"What should be the medium? First, it can't be too simple, otherwise it's impossible to distinguish the difficulty; but it can't be too complicated either, otherwise I'll get tired myself."

There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, young wizards at Hogwarts. Even if only a third of them choose ancient runes, it would still be an unbearable workload for him, who wanted to innovate in teaching.

Felix was having a headache; he wanted to strike a balance between "efficiency" and "quality"...

For three days straight, Felix searched through his entire collection of books, but still couldn't find a suitable starting point.

"There are so few ancient magical script books on the market, and even fewer that are primarily for practical use!" Felix lamented inwardly, which only made him yearn even more for the Hogwarts library.

That's his One Piece!

Felix had heard all sorts of bizarre legends during his school years, such as the four founders of Hogwarts each leaving behind mysterious treasures. But in his opinion, if one could master all the magical knowledge in the library, that person's achievements would be no less than any of the four founders.

The greatest treasure trove is right before our eyes, yet most people are blind to it!

He himself only realized his mistake after missing it; otherwise, why would he have been planning to return to Hogwarts all these years? Wasn't it because he was still thinking about his beloved?

Having found nothing, Felix left his hut, intending to go out for a walk to clear his head.

“Mr. Haip, I haven’t seen you for the past few days!” An elegant lady bumped into him.

"Linda, I've been busy preparing for my new job lately."

"Have you found a job?"

……

After a brief conversation, the woman left, slightly reluctant.

It must be mentioned that Felix's gentle and refined personality and handsome appearance have always made him popular with the neighbors.

Streets in London's West End.

Felix wandered aimlessly, appearing remarkably relaxed compared to the hurried pedestrians on the street, as if he belonged to a completely different world.

That's not wrong either.

Midway through his journey, Felix passed by a dental clinic. Looking at the clean and tidy storefront, his gaze paused for a moment, and a thought that had been lingering in his mind for a long time resurfaced.

No rush, come back in a few days.

He continued walking and finally stopped at a children's activity room. Hearing the familiar "Yofakkinda" and "Dogsine," Felix walked in as if possessed.

The room was dimly lit, and a group of teenagers were frantically pounding on buttons and tirelessly swinging joysticks, making strange noises like "whoosh whoosh hahaha".
