Chapter 192 The True Master Of Runes
After getting a little love, Levin's campus life seems to be more enjoyable.
The little guy always brings him all kinds of fun,
But there's just one thing. Levin never brings Aiwu to any class except Magical Creatures.
He knew very well that Xiao Aiwu was the kind of person who would respond to whatever the teacher said.
Whenever he brings Aiwu with him, he will be kicked out of the classroom - even if the professors regard him as an outstanding student.
In addition to Hagrid’s magical beasts class, Levin also chose three other electives this semester: alchemy, arithmetic and ancient runes.
The most difficult one to learn was ancient runes. Except for Levin, none of his roommates chose this course. He could only come to class with Hermione.
Since there were too few people taking this course, unexpectedly four young wizards from the academy took the course together.
But even so, when they entered the classroom, they found that there were still very few people inside.
By coincidence, Malfoy also chose this subject. When Levin saw him, he still had dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
Soon, the professor of ancient runes, Bathcida Barbling, entered the classroom. She was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing glasses, wearing a simple and clean blue robe, and a bookish look. interest.
When she saw Levin, her eyes lit up and she said happily: "I'm honored that Mr. Levin Green can take my elective class. With your level, you can't actually learn anything in ordinary classes." Something."
Facing Professor Babling's compliment, Levin showed a gentle smile: "No, even I need to study in class 680.
"Oh haha, it's really an honor for you to say that. I don't think I can teach you anything," Professor Babling laughed happily when Levin said this. If there are any shortcomings, I hope you can enlighten me.
"Oh, by the way, a master like you doesn't need to complete the homework prepared for mediocre people. I will give you an O directly in the final exam."
What Levin said to the professor made the little wizards in the class open their mouths in surprise.
Especially Malfoy and several of his Slytherin companions began to pretend to vomit as if they had eaten something disgusting.
This is really too disgusting.
It’s simply differential treatment!
But soon, the little wizards saw even more discriminatory treatment.
Throughout the class, Professor Babuling led the students to read, recite, and copy several ancient runes.
While they were working hard, Levin was sitting at the table, reading an unknown book with great interest.
Professor Babuling ignored his indifferent behavior.
Everyone cast envious glances at Levin,
Even under the most eccentric Snape, Malfoy had never seen such a situation.
This is no longer the relationship between professors and students.
Professor Bathcida Barbling obviously regards Levin as an equal peer, or even a senior with a higher status.
When the first class was almost over, Professor Babling began to assign homework to the little wizards.
That is the task of translating ancient runes. The young wizards have to translate the correct meaning from these ancient runes that are complicated, difficult to pronounce, and full of polysemy.
She herself stepped forward and asked Levin about ancient runes.
"Professor Babbling, I really want to find out why Green doesn't have to complete these exercises?"
Malfoy couldn't stand this kind of differential treatment, so he stood up and spoke out everyone's thoughts sharply,
The difference in treatment is so great. They are working so hard to translate here, and their heads are about to explode.
But he was sitting comfortably next to him, reading books slowly, and the professor was waiting on him personally - he even had the time to set up a table for tea.
Professor Babuling was also very annoyed when questioned by students: "As a professor, I naturally have my own rules. In my class, the only rule is ability. Whoever can reach the specified level will not have to attend lectures. No need to do homework.
As she spoke, she tore off a piece of paper, scrawled something in runes on the paper, and slapped it in front of Malfoy.
"As long as any of you can translate this passage correctly, I will give him the same treatment as Mr. Green.
When Malfoy saw this, he immediately looked at it carefully.
Many young wizards also came forward, wanting to try their luck.
But this complicated ancient rune made them dizzy. Even if they recognized a character or two, they couldn't understand what was written on it.
"Mr. Malfoy, please tell me the meaning of the above paragraph, can you? If you can, you can enjoy the same treatment." Professor Babling pursued the victory, forcing Malfoy to retreat again and again, and then looked around, "Any Anyone can do it, I keep my word.
Malfoy read the note over and over several times, and his face turned red from holding back the last one.
With his level, he may not be able to complete this task in a whole semester.
"So, why didn't we see Green completing this task?" Malfoy thought for a long time and finally caught a loophole.
"Because this is just the simplest use of runes." Professor Babling said while taking out a book: "As long as you learn this "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes", you can also complete the translation. But If you want to really put ancient runes into use, the content of this book is only the simplest foundation, and you need to learn more knowledge."
"But as far as I know, Mr. Levin Green can actually use ancient runes as early as first grade."
"Really? I don't believe it!"
Malfoy thought this was too exaggerated. This was ancient runes. No matter how talented Levin was, there was no way he could learn this in the first grade.
"You have no evidence at all!"
"Of course I have the evidence, that is, he can already modify or even create spells in the first grade." Professor Babling took out her wand, "I remember there is a spell called [Dancing Lights]."
She waved her wand, and a ball of light emitted from the tip of the wand, flying around the classroom like a firefly.
"I have been famous for Mr. Green's self-created spell for a long time. I am grateful to him for teaching me this spell just now. It is indeed very simple and effective.
"In fact, the magic spells we know are essentially a combination of ancient runes, but they have been continuously modified and simplified during the development process, giving up variability while increasing ease of use, and finally became Now it’s easy to use the finished magic spell.”
This is like writing software. Ancient runes are libraries similar to C++ and Java. Although they are very complicated, they have many interfaces and are easy to combine and modify.
But a spell composed purely of ancient runes is a program written on the basis of a large number of libraries in C++ and Java. It can be used, but the size of a single program is too large - because it comes with convenient modifications, but many of them are not useful in actual applications. function on.
And if you want to turn a spell composed of runes into a spell that is convenient for practical use, you need to go through a lot of deletion processes, removing all redundant parts for modification, leaving only the necessary ingredients.
This is basically equivalent to converting a computer software into an embedded one.
One of the two requires Intel's most advanced CPU to run, and the other needs to run on the crappiest microcontroller. Finally, it is used on the crappiest platforms such as pinhole cameras and remote controls. The requirements for program simplification and optimization are different. of.
"If a wizard just learns how to use spells, there is no need to come into contact with ancient runes, but if he wants to create his own spells, then ancient runes are essential.
Professor Babuling's words made everyone agree and nod in agreement.
According to her, Levin is indeed a master of ancient runes.
In the past few years, they have indeed often seen Levin and Levin's friends using some magic spells that they have never heard of or seen before.
For example, the [Dancing Lights Technique] just now, and the [Anti-Evil Magic Circle] used by Levin to repel the dementors on the train.
Malfoy remembered another spell called [Activating Rope], which reminded him of the embarrassing memory:
Together with six other senior Slytherins, he was tied to the ground by Hermione, a little witch, with [activated rope].
It’s true that I feel the same way.
Finally, the professor concluded:
"Everyone has just come into contact with ancient runes, so don't be too ambitious. I dare say that this is the most complex and difficult subject among all elective courses, but it is also the most useful after learning it, and it is the subject with the highest upper limit."
"You should focus all your attention now on learning how to translate runes, rather than questioning other people."
"Actually, Mr. Green's level is completely sufficient to hold the position of professor of ancient runes - if he agrees, I would be willing to study under him."
After listening to the professor's words, Malfoy suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
He found Levin Green to be his nemesis. Every time he thought he found a flaw in the opponent, he always ended up shooting himself in the foot.
For the first time, the other little wizards understood how big the level gap between them and Levin really was.
Next to Levin, Hermione looked at him with even more admiration. .
