Chapter 152: On the Final Exam(1/2)
It was called "The Hidden Demon Scent", and it was discovered by Ralph and others from a family notebook of Professor Sgrahorn.
That notebook was given to their group by Professor Slughorn, and it contains many useful and useless by-products of the development of potions.
Professor Sgrughorn hoped that they could "carry forward" the notes, so he gave them the notes. Of course, they were still in his hands.
Hidden Demon Incense, as its name suggests.
According to Ralph's research, its scent is hidden in magic.
It takes about a week to completely metabolize the magic power and return to the world of heaven and earth.
At the same time, by changing the auxiliary materials of the hidden magic incense, the invisible and qualityless magic power can be detected by some special potions or magic.
The hidden magic incense also has a characteristic. If it is not neutralized by magic power, it will disperse, extremely dispersed.
If too much is taken in, the magic power in the body cannot be completely absorbed, and it will wander in the body and radiate to the outside world through various gaps.
Because of its characteristics, it also disperses easily in the air.
Therefore, although its aroma is strong, it does not linger for long.
Daniel relied on this characteristic to find the dosage of medicine that was most suitable for Filch.
Claude looked at these data and raised his eyebrows.
He and Barty Jr. looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
'The amount of magic in Filch's body is too little.'
Like them, they all need at least half a bottle to replenish their own consumption.
Of course, Ralph was not among them.
Compared with young wizards of the same age, he has a ridiculous amount of magic power.
It was precisely because of these data that Daniel gave Filch a full bottle of potion for the first time.
Feather floating time, Filch is 5 seconds.
In terms of weight, it can't lift a first-level troll stick.
They conducted detailed experiments and finally concluded that the maximum weight of Filch's [Levitation Spell] was 50 sheets of ordinary parchment.
After a series of examinations, they formulated a special magic exercise plan for Filch.
Filch insists on exercising every day.
Every once in a while, he would see Ralph and the others for a physical examination.
The duration of [Levitation Spell] has not become longer, but the maximum weight has increased with each physical examination.
This strengthened Filch's belief.
Recently, Ralph and the others don't have much time to help Filch with his physical examination, because the final exam is coming soon and they are all reviewing.
Ralph's first exam subject was Charms.
The exam is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical, with a full score of 100 points.
The total score is 40% of the theoretical score and 60% of the practical score.
The practical content is as follows:
The children lined up to enter the classroom one by one.
There is a long table in the classroom, and the professor is standing on one side of the table.
There is a pineapple at one end of the long table, and the children's task is to make the pineapple reach the other end of the long table as intact as possible.
On a long table, there will be some obstructions.
The little wizards need to use the magic spells they learned to solve them and let his pineapple successfully reach the finish line.
The first item is to make the pineapple move. The full score is 5 points.
On the side of Pineapple near the professor, there is a sign facing the candidates, which says "Use [Levitation Spell]".
In other words, the key to making the pineapple move is the [Levitation Spell].
After the candidate uses the [Levitation Spell] on the pineapple, the pineapple will float forward at a uniform speed without the need for children to control it.
The second item is an ice wall, suspended on the path that the pineapple must pass through, and can be pushed. The full score is 15 points.
On the ice wall, on the professor's side, there is a sign that reads "[Fire-making Spell]".
Therefore, the task of this project is to use the [Fire Making Spell] to melt the ice wall and allow the pineapple to pass through.
However, the test is definitely more than this.
After the ice wall melts, it will turn into a water wall and remain in place.
If the flame temperature is too high, although the ice will melt, the temperature of the water will also become higher, which may cause some changes in the pineapple, resulting in a low score.
If the flame temperature is too low, the ice wall will not have time to melt, and the pineapple will arrive, and obviously the score will not be ideal.
If the flames are too strong and burn the table, then the score will be low.
The third item is a box that is just large enough for the pineapple to pass through, with a full score of 20 points.
However, there are densely packed sharp thorns on the inner wall of the frame.
The sign reads "[Softening Curse]".
The examinee's task is to soften the thorns so that the pineapple can pass without any scars.
The professor will score based on the number of scars on the surface of the pineapple. The greater the number, the lower the score.
The fourth item is an iron ball full of spikes hanging in the air, right in the path of pineapples. The full score is 20 points.
The test point is [Cutting Curse].
The iron ball is wrapped around a string, and the string is connected to a small wooden stick suspended in the air.
There is a rope tied to each end of the wooden stick and connected to the iron ball, and there is also a rope in the middle.
There is another rope in the middle between the rope in the middle and the ropes at both ends.
There are a total of 5 ropes tied to the iron ball and fixing its position.
Candidates need to cut the rope in the correct order so that the iron ball falls into the small pit below.
Otherwise, the iron ball will hit the table and cause scars on the table.
Although the pineapple can pass safely in this way, Professor Flitwick will only give a basic score of 10 points.
The fifth item is an open small door, the size of which does not allow pineapples to pass through, 30 points.
The test points are [Lock Spell] and [Unlock Spell].
As long as you lock and unlock the door according to the method taught in class, the door will become larger. This can be repeated up to three times.
The professor had already spoken about it during class.
[Lock Spell] You can set a lock that is unique and difficult to unlock according to your personal will.
Then, the unlocker needs to use specific will to cast the [Unlock Spell] to unlock it.
For example, you can put a lock like this on the door cover: 983√ ̄(9*3)2-417=?
Then when someone else unlocks it, they must have the will to answer 26 in the magic power when releasing the [Unlocking Spell].
In the exam, the higher the difficulty, the larger the unlocked door will become.
For this item, the basic score is 20 points, and the other 10 points depend on the number of attempts the candidate makes and the difficulty of the lock.
If the candidate sets the difficulty level too high and cannot solve it by himself, the professor will help him solve it and let him try again, which will be counted as a second attempt.
The sixth item is a hidden bonus item, you can do it or not.
A perfect score of 5 points can exceed a perfect score of 100 points.
This item is a hole in the table. Because the pineapple is floating through it, candidates may ignore it.
The test point is [Repair Spell], the most difficult spell in the first grade.
Only if the hole is completely repaired will an additional 5 points be awarded.
You can try it before the pineapple reaches the finish line.
After the pineapple reaches the finish line, a burst of fireworks will flash at the finish line to congratulate the students on passing the exam.
Soon, it was Ralph's turn.
He walked in and greeted the professor.
Professor Flitwick responded with a smile, told him something, and let him get started.
With a touch of the magic wand, the pineapple floats and floats forward.
Ralph made no other moves, just waited.
When the pineapple approached the ice wall, the wand clicked again, and a huge flame ignited, covering the ice wall and the pineapple.
Professor Flitwick raised his eyebrows.
