Dumbledore? He knows nothing about MC alchemy.

After class, Kaisen waved his hand to send the young wizards away, and he did not continue to install a pile of alchemical rails in the corridor of Hogwarts. After all, with the free labor of the young wizards, it would be a waste if he had to do it himself.

Before he could even take a sip of his wheat juice when he returned to the office, he saw three people standing stealthily beside his desk.

"....What's wrong with you?" Kaisen asked.

Harry took out a pair of binoculars and looked towards the office door. He was relieved to make sure no one came in from there. "It's like this, Professor, Hermione has been a little... crazy lately."

"??? What do you mean?" Kaisen asked.

"This matter can be traced back to when we went to Sirius Black's old house to play... There was a house-elf named Kreacher there." Ron said.

"uh-huh."

"Hermione didn't have those weird thoughts at the time, but on the day we went to the Quidditch World Cup, Barty Crouch asked his house-elf to save a seat for him. That time, Hermione saw it again."

".....so?"

"Let's get straight to the point. Hermione thinks house-elves are enslaved by wizards, and she wants to call on wizards to liberate the house-elves." Neville said simply.

"Oh...how is she going to appeal?" Kaisen asked confusedly.

"Giving house-elves respect, wages, the right to say no, and a whole lot of other stuff," said Ron with a grimace.

"...In fact, this is not a good idea. After all, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of every wizard in Hogwarts are basically taken care of by the house-elves. If Hermione enjoys the house-elves like other people and calls on wizards to liberate the house-elves, it is not...normal." Kaisen said.

"In fact, she no longer eats the food in the Great Hall... She orders a lot of food from Diagon Alley and relies on that to maintain her vital signs every day. Just now we saw her carrying a large basin of clothes back from the bathroom, although we don't know why she didn't just use it to clean up." Ron said.

"Hermione is a character... How is her health now?"

"It should be okay. After all, the compressed biscuits bought in Diagon Alley are nicknamed human feed." Neville replied.

"Oh, in that case...we should be respectful. Hermione has the right to speak up for the house-elves, and she did refuse the house-elves' service. There's nothing to say about that." Kaisen shrugged.

"But Professor, she has seriously affected our daily lives. Ever since she discovered that girls can enter the boys' dormitory without being expelled by magic, she has started to break into our dormitory and order us to clean up."

"She also wants us to eat human food with her..."

"And we have the house-elves, they can help with this." The three of them accused Hermione of "atrocities" with tears in their eyes.

"Um...how can I help you?" Kaisen asked.

"Professor, can you please get Hermione back on track? She's too scary now. It would be fine if she was just being alone, but she's pulling us along." Harry said with a suicidal look on his face.

"How can I help you with this? After all, what Hermione did can't be said to be wrong. At most, she didn't think enough."

"Professor, I think you must have a way." Ron swallowed and said firmly.

"Hmm... do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"truth."

"I really want to help you, but I think it's too much trouble. After all, this is not a big deal and it has nothing to do with me. But if Hermione knew that I knew about this troublesome matter, she would definitely ask me to work with her to figure out how to free the elves."

"So, Professor, you don't want to?" A faint voice suddenly came from behind the three of them. Harry shuddered and looked back in confusion.

Hermione was standing there smiling and looking at Kaisen.

"Hmm? Professor." Hermione said with a smile.

Kaisen subconsciously looked up at the space-based dragon-slaying cannon on the ceiling. He was wondering whether it would be better to find a random excuse to run away, or to show his linguistic charm and have a thrilling debate with Hermione.

Chapter 257 You won’t cry, will you?

With a bang, a plate of lunch suddenly appeared on his desk. Kaisen naturally took the plate, picked up the knife and fork, and took a bite.

Chew chew chew chew chew chew............

Then Hermione started speaking: "Professor, do you know that all the delicious food on your plate was made by the enslaved house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens?"

Kaisen: Chew chew chew... chew chew chew...

Chew chew chew..... Chew chew chew.....

"So? So what?" Kaisen said while chewing.

"So... Professor, we are now oppressing and exploiting these house-elves like slave owners! We eat food made by the house-elves, and every inch of the castle we live in has traces of cleaning by the house-elves, and the poor guys don't even have any wages." Hermione said in a rhythmic manner.

"Hmm...so? Why do they need wages?" Kaisen sighed. He decided to have a good fight with Hermione. If she had only been pestering Harry and Neville before, he could have naturally joined in the fun with a smile, but now Hermione had turned her spearhead towards him.

To be honest, I was so indifferent before that I didn't feel any pain until the knife hit me, but now that it has hit me...

Although it’s a little late, it’s not too late!

We must charge, Hermione is no longer ordinary Hermione, we must strike hard!!!

"They worked hard, of course they need wages!" said Hermione.

"..................Hermione, do you know the changes in human productivity? I just gave a lecture to the seventh grade some time ago." Kaisen asked back.

"I know. The seniors told us." Hermione nodded.

"In the beginning, humans used slash-and-burn agriculture. Later, humans learned to raise animals and use animal power, such as using cows to plow the fields, donkeys to pull mills, and pigs to carry people using carrots and fishing rods. They don't get paid, too," Kaisen responded.

"Those are animals, they're not people," Hermione replied.

"Poppy." Kaisen said, and the next moment a house-elf appeared among the people with a bang.

"Hermione, do you think it's human?"

Hermione looked at Poppy and swallowed. The current situation was not so favorable for her, but fortunately she still had some dignity and did not bite the bullet and say that the house-elf in front of her was a human.

“But it is intelligent life.”

Kaisen scratched his chin awkwardly. "You can't call a life form intelligent only when it can speak. In fact, there are many intelligent lives. For example, cows even shed tears when they are slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, but no one still has any objection to eating beef."

Hermione looked bitterly. She was only fourteen years old and her experience was definitely not enough to defeat Kaisen, and the latter... obviously had no intention of letting Hermione go.

"And Hermione, you can't impose your ideas on house-elves. That's arrogance, a very profound arrogance. House-elves have a different cognition than humans. They don't like freedom and rights. Or perhaps I'd put it more bluntly. They're all masochists, and they like it that way."

"And nowadays, house-elves serve a social purpose. But if you forcibly liberate them, then the original service providers of society will disappear. Who will fill this gap? Muggle-born wizards? Or ordinary Muggles without magic?"

"Or perhaps alchemical dolls? Unfortunately, they lack intelligence. Even if they become intelligent enough in the future... To be honest, alchemical dolls cannot provide emotional value, which is why house-elves still have a market among pure-blood families."

"And you have done all this, and no one will bless you. The wizards have lost their slaves, and some have even been forced into the position of servants. They will definitely hate you."

"House-elves have lost their original social status. They hate you for causing them to lose their social status. Meanwhile, a large number of house-elves have become a source of social instability outside of mainstream society. The Ministry of Magic will inevitably massacre them."

"And your method is problematic too. It's already affecting normal people. Perhaps I could be more blunt. You're affecting Harry, Neville, Ron, and me. None of us are the slave owners of the house-elves. The slave owners of the house-elves are Dumbledore and the pure-blood families, like Sirius, the Slytherins, and Draco Malfoy. Besides that... Dobby, their family has four more house-elves."

"You didn't choose to talk to the real slave owners of the house elves about liberating them, but instead went to us, who are supposedly innocent. This can actually be considered a kind of... Please forgive my sharpness, this can be seen as cowardice, because you clearly know that we will not actually attack you."

"But those Slytherin pure-bloods will, both physically and psychologically, of course Sirius is not one of them."

"What I want to say is that, judging from your current actions, you don't really want to liberate the house-elves. You just want to show your overflowing compassion and let others see your sincere sighs."

"Wow! Hermione is so loving, beautiful, and kind-hearted. Isn't she like Merlin in the world? I love her so much!"

"But in reality, they don't see you that way. They think you're... a fool... with low emotional intelligence? Forgive my wording."

Kaisen responded while eating. To be honest, he didn't need to use his brain to refute Hermione's point of view. After all, Hermione's so-called idea of ​​liberating the house-elves...

Chew chew chew chew chew chew...

Hermione looked at Kaisen who was chewing with a pale face, and then looked at Harry and the others who agreed with her.

When Kaisen saw Hermione's expression, his face immediately froze. He had a strange premonition that Hermione would not cry here, right?

When I don't write books, I just draw! Hehehehe!!! No more kidding, folks! Please give me a gift QAQ

Congratulations to all the readers who have read this far! You've been drafted! May you wake up in 40K! Of course, I'm referring to the readers. I'm the author and am not affected by this agreement.

Chapter 258: Paper on Robotic Arm

What was beyond Kaisen's expectation... was certainly not such a trivial matter as whether Hermione had dropped the little pearl. To be honest, Hermione was much stronger than they looked, and it was impossible for her to cry over such a trivial matter.

What really surprised him was that Hermione nodded dazedly. She said nothing and didn't refute, but just nodded: "I understand, Professor."

Kaisen looked at Hermione with dizzy pupils. Something was wrong, something was very wrong. Even if Hermione didn't refute it, it was impossible for her to just admit defeat like that?

"Um...Hermione, are you angry?" he asked tentatively.

"No... I just suddenly realized something. Professor, you are right. It is not only the house-elves who are oppressed in the magical world. Compared with the macro issue of one race oppressing another race, the issue of one class oppressing another class is more important!" Hermione said with shining eyes.

"So...what do you want to say?" Kaisen asked.

"I went to the library a while ago to have some fun reading the Daily Prophet...a collection of nearly a hundred years of editions. I discovered that most of the leadership at the Ministry of Magic is pure-blood, with a small number of half-bloods. Occasionally, a Muggle-born wizard would become Minister, but would be quickly pulled down."

"In addition to liberating the house-elves, I also want to liberate Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards!"

Kaisen listened to Hermione's bold words and touched his chin: "So what are you going to do?"

"Set a small goal first, become the Minister of Magic!"

Clap clap clap clap!

Kaisen clapped his hands vigorously: "That's great, Hermione, you are finally normal. I wish you get what you want!"

The other three little wizards looked at each other and thought for a moment. It seems like this... does it mean that Hermione won't bother them anymore in the future?

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!

"That's great!" Several people also started clapping.

Kaisen picked up the life mentor script again and began to feed Hermione chicken soup. Soon Hermione was full and left the office with Harry and others.

And Kaisen finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for Hermione's desire to become the Minister of Magic, he was in favor of it. After all, strictly speaking, he was also a Muggle... well, a pure Muggle. He was not even a Muggle-born wizard, just a pure Muggle.

Anyway, as the Minister of Magic, she shouldn't nag herself about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

perfect!

the next day..................

Kaisen willingly gave up on his lesson plan for this semester. Instead of writing a lesson plan, it would be better for him to write a paper. At least the latter could help him and his students gain some attribute points...

However, these attribute points can be used in two ways. One is to get free meals at the Alchemy Association, while the other can add luster to your resume. Isn't this a pure win-win situation?

No, it’s not only a win-win situation, but it can also help promote the magic tree in the magic world. Isn’t this a win-win-win situation?

In the alchemy classroom that afternoon.

"Ahem, did you hear any rumors about me this summer?" Kaisen said while standing on the podium and coughing twice.
