The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 582: Beauxbatons' Mutation
The uniform smile slowly emerged from the corner of Link's mouth.
This smile, like a spring breeze blowing across the winter ground, made all the frost on Link's face melt away.
Seeing this, Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The sudden change shown by Link just now is really scary.
In the entire hall, only Furong maintained her original sluggish appearance.
This is actually a variant of Link's Legilimency.
He combined Legilimency with the energy of Occlumency. By invading the brain, he can make others abandon unnecessary emotions and become calm and rational within a certain period of time.
"Tell me carefully, how did Maxime go crazy?"
Link helped Furong up and asked gently.
Hearing this, Furong trembled instinctively, as if recalling something terrifying, she said:
"Link, do you remember we met in Durmstrang?"
Link nodded, but his eyes were involuntarily glancing at Dumbledore.
As it happened, Dumbledore was also looking in his direction.
Between the two of them looking at each other, Dumbledore's face was a little unsightly.
Link has been to Durmstrang?
This is a piece of information that Dumbledore never got.
As for what Link did in Durmstrang, Dumbledore knew it without asking.
Nothing more than doing what he did at Hogwarts.
Take the position of the school director, and then set up a puppet principal to control the entire magic school.
Dumbledore even felt that Link's progress on Durmstrang's side should be faster than Hogwarts, and the depth of control should be more comprehensive.
After all, Durmstrang doesn't have a headmaster like Dumbledore.
Link, Link, you hide so deep!
Dumbledore thought this, but closed his eyes and refused to keep looking at Link.
On the other side, Furong, who didn't know her words at all, exposed Link's arrangement on Durmstrang's side, and continued to tell:
"Actually, the Triwizard Tournament has caused a great psychological blow to Headmaster Maxim. She has always wondered why Beauxbatons lost to Hogwarts, and she is so familiar with it!
Obviously, the teaching environment of Beauxbatons is so good, and the bursaries given to students are also higher than Hogwarts.
But it can't be like Hogwarts, the continuous output of energy can be called a legendary genius wizard. "
While speaking, Furong glanced at Link with complicated eyes.
Obviously, the genius wizard she was referring to was Link.
It was Link's incomprehensible powerful maneuvers in the Triwizard Tournament that brought Maxim to the brink of collapse.
"So after the Triwizard Tournament ended, Professor Maxim had the idea of reforming Beauxbatons. At first, her reform idea was to improve the quality of Beauxbatons' teaching. She felt that she had Reasons to believe that the reason why Hogwarts students are so good is because of the excellent professors. But the problem is that a good professor is something you can't find. It's not just money that can be exchanged. It takes luck to come. So, he turned his attention to Durmstrang."
Fleur continued, "She wants to take advantage of Durmstrang's constant internal and external troubles to directly seize the control of Durmstrang. Then use the power in her hands to let Durmstrang through various means. Some outstanding professors in Langzhong switched to Beauxbatons to improve the teaching quality of Beauxbatons and change Beauxbatons' teaching ideas.
At this time, Principal Maxim was actually not too crazy.
At least she never used power other than money and intrigue throughout her quest for Durmstrang.
Then, this time, she failed again. "
Link touched his nose and said nothing.
He was the culprit behind Maxim's failure.
However, Link felt that even without his presence, it would be more difficult for Maxim to conquer Durmstrang.
Whenever there is another candidate, Durmstrang's die-hard professors will support that person as if they had supported him in the first place.
After all, Maxim's gesture was too arrogant.
It might not matter to other people.
Durmstrang's diehards might be more than happy.
Because they worship the strong.
One soldier is bristling, and one will be bristling.
In their concept, a strong leader can better lead them on a strong road.
Isn't this much better than Karkaroff's pustule?
But the problem is, Maxim is a woman, and also a half-blood witch with giant blood.
How can you make Durmstrang diehards accept this?
You must know that Durmstrang is a well-known pure-blood magic school throughout Europe!
Its base is black.
It is simply impossible to accept the rule of an arrogant giant half-blood witch.
Furong sighed again and said:
"This failure made Principal Maxim completely mad. Although she still insisted on her reform ideas at the beginning, her methods became more and more ruthless.
He began to turn his attention to the small magic schools around him, and used countless means including assassination, bribery, and alienation to gain control of them.
As a result of this, small magic schools all over Europe were destroyed.
They were almost wiped out under the attack of Principal Maxim!
At the same time, Beauxbatons, who had sucked blood from these small magic schools, became stronger and stronger.
Its source of students has become larger and larger, and the quality and number of faculty members have also skyrocketed. "
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Emily frowned softly.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Maxim doing this.
In general, the expansion of power often uses some shady methods. This is the case with the Foley family, as well as other families and even organizations.
What Maxime does is nothing more than what everyone would do.
Those little schools of magic that were swallowed up didn't deserve mercy either.
There may indeed be good magic professors among them.
But in general, they are still the existence of misunderstood children.
The students who came out of these small magic schools either went down the wrong path, or they could only become waste, and there was no third possibility.
So, being swallowed by Beauxbatons is not a bad thing either.
"Yeah, if that's the case, then it's really a good thing for Beauxbatons. But the problem is, things have just begun..." Furong said faintly, "The quality of teaching and the number of students have steadily improved. Makes Principal Maxim very happy. Although Beauxbatons has a huge financial cost to maintain such a situation, Principal Maxim feels that as long as the quality of students can also increase, even if only the Hogwarts genius output rate half of it, then she will be satisfied.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Principal Maxim's strategy was wrong.
In a school-wide test six months ago, the average score of Beauxbatons in each grade did not rise, but plummeted by nearly 30 points!
This is an exaggerated figure, so exaggerated that Principal Maxim is completely insane. "
"Her failure is inevitable." Link shook his head and said, "Even compared to Hogwarts and Durmstrang, two super-large schools of magic that are as famous as Beauxbatons, Beauxbatons' The living conditions are also the best, not to mention those small magic schools in remote places.
Those poor school professors and students who entered Beauxbatons were like mice falling into a rice jar, and hungry ghosts tortured in **** were suddenly pulled into heaven.
This kind of mutation in the external environment is impossible for them to continue to go crazy, but it will make them all become worms who are greedy for enjoyment!
It's human nature! Even wizards are no exception! "
"As expected of you, Link, your guess is exactly the same as the conclusion reached by President Maxim after investigation. Those professors and students who were raided to Beauxbatons are indeed corrupted. Even this corruption still has As the trend spreads, many of Beauxbatons' excellent professors and students have also been influenced by them and become lazy."
Furong said slowly, "It can be predicted that the conclusion of the investigation is completely different from the investigation after the fact! Professor Maxime, who was unprepared, learned that all his good intentions were fed to the dogs, and even those who benefited also gave She went completely crazy after taking it as a fool!"
"What happened next?"
Link asked, and he couldn't help but sit up straighter.
He had a hunch that what Fleur was going to say next was the key to what they were looking for in France on this trip.
Link trusts his hunch very much, because it is actually a kind of quasi-predictive ability obtained through Link's soaring mental power.
Fantastic.
Hearing this, Furong closed her eyes in pain and said:
"In the early days of Principal Maxim's plan to annex Durmstrang and other wizarding schools, Beauxbatons welcomed a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. His name was Madero Tomuf Professor de Lilo. Lilo is a very young but very knowledgeable man.
He's always been able to cut from a point of view we've never tried before, giving us a ton of really useful Defence Against the Dark Arts. The most important thing is that Professor Liro has no air yet. Compared with the more serious title of Professor Liro, he prefers to let the students call him Madero.
The excellent quality of teaching combined with his approachable personality made him the most popular professor in the whole of Beauxbatons in a short period of time. Even the Principal of Maxim had a crush on him. "
"Does this have anything to do with what you said earlier?"
Old Clay frowned.
He felt that Furong was a little off topic.
"Of course it does!" Fleur exclaimed abruptly, "because it was this Madero who gave Principal Maxim a proposal when he was frustrated by the total corruption of professors and students! Beauxbatons implements a comprehensive teaching program that combines Hogwarts Black principal education with Durmstrang Spartan education!"
"I know a little bit about Sparta. The strong eat the weak." Old Klie asked inexplicably, "But what the **** is Black-style education?"
As soon as he said this, Dumbledore cast a pitying look at Link and Old Clay.
In his opinion, the big butler of the Foley family is so ignorant, which is really...
Link's face couldn't be hung up, he took a deep breath and explained:
"Phineas Nigellus Black, Sirius Black's great-great-grandfather. He was the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and during his reign, he has always implemented a strategy of high-handedness and high-discipline rule. At Hogwarts at the time, there was a lot of corporal punishment against students, as you'd know if you've been to Filch's office.
He still houses the torture instruments used to punish students at that time to this day, and there are all kinds of bells and whistles, which are guaranteed to open your eyes.
Students like the Weasley Brothers would have been beaten to death long ago during Philias Black's tenure as headmaster!
Note that there is no exaggeration in my "killed" here.
They are really going to be beaten to death.
Because at Hogwarts at that time, there were casualties every year.
As long as the number of deaths of students does not exceed this quota, it will be regarded as nothing by everyone.
This kind of teaching strategy made the students who came out of Hogwarts become incomparably powerful, and the magical world of the kingdom also reached its peak in history during that period. "
"But this way of teaching is dehumanizing!"
Dumbledore stood up and retorted that Link's last words were simply stepping on him and Phineas Black, which was unacceptable to him, "The most valuable thing about us as higher intelligent beings is that we have Humanity can be used to defend against our own desires. Phineas' teaching strategy can effectively improve the quality of students, but it will wear away our humanity and return us to the state of beasts.
Indeed, the students of the Phineas period were powerful and could be called the most powerful in Europe. These students even led the magic world of the kingdom to conquer the magic world of most of Europe.
But it didn't last long, did it?
In fact, since then, the status of the magic world of the country in the international wizarding world has plummeted.
The reason for this is precisely because the students of Phineas period were powerful, but inhuman.
Most of them have become dark wizards, and become the cancer that disrupts the order of this magical world! "
Link also narrowed his eyes and retorted:
"But what's the use of blindly developing human nature? Professor Dumbledore, don't you think there is any essential difference between you and Phineas Black? In my opinion, both of you are gone. Extreme representation? The only difference between you is that Phineas Black is an extreme radical and you are an extreme moderate. And history has shown that any extreme strategy extends Extremely bad consequences! Only inclusiveness is the best solution!"
"So you're saying all this to say that you're more correct than any headmaster in Hogwarts history?"
"Isn't this the case? I stood on the shoulders of giants and learned the lessons and experience of my predecessors, and naturally I can do better!"
Dumbledore was silent.
He stared at Link's serious eyes, as if he could no longer find words to refute Link's views.
After a long time, he said with a wry smile:
"Being inclusive is not as easy as you think. It's like walking on a road full of crossroads blindfolded. In this case, it is almost impossible for you to consistently walk out of a straight line. There are many leaders in history who have tried, but without exception, they all deviate from their original path, either to the left or to the right.
Hope, you can succeed. "
"Of course, I have a lot of confidence in myself and my mates."
Link said expressionlessly, ending the debate with Dumbledore.
At this time, they discovered that Emily, Furong and others around them were all looking at them with an incredible look.
He was obviously taken aback by what had just happened.
This made Link and Dumbledore a little overwhelmed.
Their current complex relationship is far from being explained in a sentence or two, and it's not something people like Emily and Fleur should know.
At this time, old Kled showed his excellent qualities to be the big housekeeper of the Foley family.
He coughed twice and quickly changed the subject and said:
"So, what is Madero called, is it actually a proposal for Beauxbatons to switch to a more stringent teaching plan?"
"It is true in general terms, but at a detailed level, there is still a big difference." Fleur sighed and continued, "In fact, the core point of Madero's proposal is to treat differently.
He adopted the extreme rigor of Principal Black's education, but also the Durmstrang-style Spartan system of the jungle.
The result of the combination of these two is that a small number of exceptionally gifted students and professors receive higher salaries and stipends, better living conditions, and The privilege of scolding lower-level students and even professors at will.
In contrast, those students with poor grades and incompetence are deprived of most of their survival resources.
Even they themselves have become slaves to other outstanding students! "
"This is really... I'm sorry, I really don't know how to describe it." Link shook his head and said, "I can only say that his proposal is a bit too much. He almost pushed the reward and punishment mechanism to the limit. It is really hard for me to imagine how bad it would be for a few students to be cultivated in this way~lightnovelpub.net~ Such a vicious education method, let alone me, I am afraid even Phineas Black wouldn't be able to watch it while he was alive."
Dumbledore also nodded and said:
"Indeed, their set of ideas is essentially the same as the set of competitive ideas you implemented at Hogwarts. But your execution and scale are very good, so as to achieve the premise of not affecting the nature of the students. , the result that the students began to compete with conscience.
But it is undeniable that such an extreme approach will be much more efficient in simply improving student performance and strength than the one at Hogwarts.
After all, the rewards they gave out were really amazing. "
"That's why I ask you to help rescue Gabriel." Furong said with a pale face, "Gabrielle...she's already deeply trapped in it and can't extricate herself!"
