Chapter 263 Portrait Lesson Begins! Trial Space Ranking!
The Great Wizards' Cognitive Enhancement Course is a moral education course specially set up by Dudley and Dumbledore for Hogwarts.
This is the most important aspect of Hogwarts' educational and curriculum reforms.
Unlike other courses that extend the original teaching content to enhance ideological understanding, this course focuses on the kind of thoughts, virtues, and cognition that a qualified white wizard should possess.
It is specifically designed to eliminate the bloodline discrimination that has existed in the magical world.
It was established specifically to reshape the mindset of the magical world.
By leveraging Dumbledore's prestige and fame, they continuously influenced the minds of Hogwarts students, destroying the very foundation for the emergence of dark wizards and nipping this generation of dark wizards in the bud.
Old Deng put in tremendous effort, spending several months of his free time multitasking.
He strives to absorb the knowledge and ideas of Muggle talents from various disciplines, and combines them with his own life experiences of over a hundred years to create a self-portrait. He selects and chooses his own thoughts and memories, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and then replicates and infuses them into the portrait.
Then, using his own portrait as the professor, he formally began the course.
This course, "Enhancing the Mindset of Great Wizards," was also designated as a compulsory course for all students from grades one to seven and added to the schedules of students in each college.
In the classroom, Dumbledore's portrait not only imparts knowledge learned from Muggle talents to students, but also vividly and engagingly conveys correct ideas and understandings to students through storytelling.
By combining education with entertainment, the story helps students understand the dangers of blood discrimination, malicious conflict, and the evil deeds of dark wizards, subtly instilling correct values and healthy thinking in young wizards.
To lay the ideological foundation for a lasting and stable order in the magical world in the future.
Unlike Dudley's passionate and fiery speeches, this approach subtly and gently nourishes and cleanses the young wizard's soul, offering a more comprehensive and lasting impact.
With such a dramatic change in the Hogwarts faculty, the students of Hogwarts naturally also undergo rapid and significant transformations.
By mid-to-late November, more students had been able to enter Dali Classroom by passing the grading cap test.
Initially, about 100 out of nearly 300 people were eliminated. By mid-to-late November, only about 60 students from the Lion, Snake, and Eagle academies failed the test.
Don't underestimate the progress made by just thirty or forty people; achieving this in a few months is already a remarkable accomplishment.
Don't forget, of the remaining sixty-odd die-hards, more than forty are pure-blooded snakes.
Moreover, based on the information Dudley obtained from the Sorting Hat, it can be concluded that...
Although these sixty-odd stubborn individuals still could not pass all four tests, compared to their initial situation, except for a few particularly stubborn pureblood snakes, they had all made some progress and their thinking had improved.
I believe that in another year or two, there will be very few die-hards left.
In addition to advancements in intellectual understanding, Hogwarts students have also shown significant improvements in courage, insight, and practical skills.
Going to the Trial Space for trials has become an integral part of Hogwarts student life.
From day to night, young wizards would go in to try their luck.
Initially, it was Dudley's speech that inspired everyone's fighting spirit and indomitable will. Later, more and more students participated, and it has become a trend in Hogwarts.
Anyone who fails to attempt the challenge for three consecutive days will have to endure the taunts and sighs of their classmates, a sound tinged with sarcasm.
Later on, the Hogwarts students became quite enamored with the Trial Space.
Humans are born with an adventurous spirit to explore the unknown. Originally, young wizards could only face a dull and relatively boring school life, but now they can simulate and experience adventures that even Aurors may not be able to experience in the trial space.
After initially overcoming some fears and gaining courage, fully immersing themselves in the adventure will give the young wizards a sense of novelty and excitement they've never experienced before.
If you successfully complete a scene in the trial space, you will also gain an indescribable sense of accomplishment and pride.
Dudley noticed this situation and had a flash of inspiration. He went directly to the entrance room of the fourth-floor trial space and used powerful marking magic to set up a leaderboard that could constantly change its content.
He also handed over control of the leaderboard to the idea that Dumbledore had instilled in the Trial Space.
From then on, students could see a dazzling leaderboard floating in mid-air as soon as they entered the entrance room.
The leaderboard displays and details more than ten trial scenarios in the Trial Space in real time, showing which students have passed each one, which college and grade they belong to, their completion time, and the number of stars the Trial Space awarded to each student…
Each line is crystal clear, striking directly at the competitive spirit and sense of honor of the Hogwarts students.
This is another crucial competition at Hogwarts, following the annual House Awards and the Quidditch tournament.
Moreover, unlike the College Awards, which span a long period of time and only calculate the total score of each college, it is not like the Quidditch competition where not everyone can participate.
The competition in the Trial Space is short and can be repeated multiple times. It represents the honor of the academy, the honor of the grade, and also the personal honor of the participant.
Moreover, it can transcend eras.
If a student achieves exceptionally high passing scores, their name can remain on the leaderboard for many, many years, becoming the goal pursued by generations of Hogwarts students.
From then on, a more positive and competitive atmosphere developed among the Hogwarts students.
This healthy competitive spirit is also reflected in Dali's classroom practical exercises.
Every weekend during class, Dali would first arrange for many students of similar ability to compete on stage, and then let the winners accept challenges from other students within a reasonable range.
Many students wanted to show off in front of Dudley and also wanted to defeat the student leaders appointed by Dudley, especially Cedric, whom Dudley had set up as an excellent role model, in order to prove their own abilities.
However, no one resorted to underhanded tactics like sneak attacks or sabotage. Instead, they openly challenged each other in class, and during the battle, both sides maintained a certain degree of restraint, refraining from using dark magic with dire consequences.
Under this atmosphere of healthy competition, the students' fighting spirit is steadily improving.
Although not all of the student leaders arranged by Dali could win every battle, they were able to remain humble in victory and undeterred in defeat under Dali's guidance.
