Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After lunch, the candidates entered the small room next to the auditorium in groups, waiting to be called to take the practical exam.
A small group of students entered the examination room in alphabetical order. The people who remained were still mumbling the spell and practicing the movement of waving wand(s). Sometimes they accidentally poked someone ’s back or eyes. The finished students did not come back, so no one knows the content of the test and how the person who was called out took the test.
"Not easy!" A fat seventh grade girl shook her head and said to them, "It is really difficult to get a high score. They depend on the students' ability to use spells, skills and casting speed. Generally Will use two to three spells at the same time ... "
A lot of fifth graders are around her, trying to learn as much as possible about the content of the practice exam for a while.
Professor Flitwick will take turns to call people, and soon it will be Ivan, who is in front of Harry, Hermione and Ron.
"Good luck!" Hermione said nervously, holding his right hand hard, "Come on, Ivan!"
"Good luck." Harry and Ron also said softly.
Ivan walked into the auditorium. Next to him was a seventh-grade Hufflepuff boy. He clutched the wand(s) tightly and his body shivered slightly.
This guy is too nervous. He has already gone through an O.w.Ls exam. It should be reasonable to have experience.
"Sorry!" He wiped the sweat on his forehead. "I want to work in the Ministry of Magic. As long as they are the best, they must have at least six NEwTs certificates. The score should not be lower than good. I am on the spell I'm not very good ... "
Only get enough N.E.w.Ts certificate to enter the Ministry of Magic, they have very high requirements for student achievement.
Depending on the department you are recruiting, there will be other tests.
For example, if you want to become Auror, the Auror office will test the personality and intelligence of the applicant, detect that they show good response ability when they are under stress, etc., but also have perseverance and dedication.
A qualified Auror must undergo up to three years of training, master the methods of dealing with dark wizard(s) and all dangerous situations, and actually use the techniques of defense.
In the past three years, they will also participate in the the Ministry of Magic joint actions of European countries. The common feature of these actions is very dangerous.
Although there are many students who want to become Auror every year, considering the high elimination rate and mortality rate of this job, the actual number of elite Auror in the British Ministry of Magic has been kept at about 80 per year, which is already a very powerful force !
Many small countries the Ministry of Magic only have two or three Auror.
Not only Auror and the Ministry of Magic, other places will also require students' N.E.w.Ts.
Another example is healer of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, which requires students to have four N.E.w.Ts certificates, but one of the potion or herbal grades must be excellent. After entering St. Mungo's, they must also receive long-term training to become a qualified healer.
Like Auror, healer have to learn a lot when they leave school, otherwise they will be eliminated soon.
Other small shops and institutions are not as demanding as places like the Ministry of Magic, Gringotts, and St. Mungo's, but they will also use the student OwLs certificate and NEwTs certificate scores as an important reference basis. Unless you plan to do it yourself like Fred and George, It is necessary to obtain enough certificates and good grades.
Dumbledore requires Ivan. If he wants to obtain an exchange qualification to study at another magic school, the O.w.Ls test score must be good enough this time.
Only in this way can he persuade the Ministry of Magic and the other school to accept Ivan.
"Mason, go to Professor Marchbanks!" said Professor Flitwick standing at the door, pointing to the far corner.
Professor Marchbanks is sitting behind a small table in the corner. Next to her is a witch who looks the oldest and has the least hair. He is a professor of Tofty and is taking an examination of Anthony · Goldstein of Ravenclaw House .
There is a glass goblet on the table, trembling and floating under the control of Goldstein.
"Ivan Mason!" Professor Marchbanks said, she checked her records and looked up at Ivan. "You specially applied for this exam. Professor Dumbledore introduced you to me. He thinks you are excellent. We ... "
Crack, the goblet with Goldstein suspended in the air fell on the floor and shattered, interrupting her.
Ivan turned his head and saw Goldstein panickingly waving wand(s) to restore the cup.
"Okay, do n’t worry about that cup, let ’s get started, I am looking forward to what magic you will show." Professor Marchbanks said with the old man shaking, "There is no need to be nervous, Ivan, now, please let this cup be for me Perform a few sideways turns. "
This is a simple floating spell and hovering spell. Ivan controls the cup according to the requirements of Professor Marchbanks.
"You did a very good job, quite beautiful silent casting, I have not seen it for many years!" Professor Marchbanks said with satisfaction, wrote a few pens on the record, then looked up and looked at Ivan expectantly, "In fact, I noticed your test paper in the morning. I must say that it is probably the test paper I have never seen before. Your answer is beyond imagination. We are applying to the Ministry of Magic experts to judge whether the answer is correct. But in any case, it ’s quite amazing that you can write it. I noticed your answer to the question about the floating spell, can you use ancient magic language to cast the spell? ”
"Uh!" Ivan nodded. "I started learning this casting technique last year."
After necessary assistance from the remains of ancient warlocks and Nicolas · Flamel, Ivan began to try to use magic like this.
Ancient casters did this instead of simplified spells and quick casts.
"It's really rare. This ancient technology is rarely mastered. More than a century ago, when I was a student, Hogwarts will still teach related skills in the NEwTs class. I remember the professor at that time ..." Professor Marchbanks Slowly said, "Of course, very few students can learn it. Using ancient magic language directly requires very high magic power and mental strength of wizard(s) itself, and a considerable level of ancient magic language. I am sorry, Ivan, let me listen More, I mean can you show you how to cast with ancient magic language and let the cup float in the air if you want to get extra points. "
"No problem!" Ivan said, "Professor, what kind of ancient magic language do you want me to use?"
"All!" Professor Marchbanks said with interest, "Let me see your true strength, Ivan!"
Considering that the results of this exam will affect whether he can exchange at other magic schools, Ivan feels it necessary to show his hands.
But if you want to see his real strength, you will use Philosopher's Stone, is that too high-profile ...
Also, just like the answer he wrote on the first question on the test paper this morning, he used ancient magic language to cast a floating spell. Ivan currently knows 36 casting methods. If all of them are used, it is a waste of time. He hesitated. For a moment, seeing Professor Marchbanks looking at himself expectantly ...
