Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao with the Clone Style

Chapter 370: Interview that deviates from the point
While Harley was indulging in afternoon tea, an interview was going on.

"Mr. Custer, I want to know why you are seeking a job."

Headmaster Dumbledore asked the question first.

“The reason for seeking employment…”

Caster held the butterbeer in his hand, feeling a little confused for a moment.

The principal did not rush to ask him questions, but just waited patiently.

"I do not know."

After a long time, Caster finally uttered these words.

"I can't seem to find anything else to do except apply for a professorship."

As a Servant, what he should do is cooperate with the Master and win the Holy Grail War together.

However, there is no Holy Grail War in this world.

Then all he could do was to obey the Master's orders.

However, it seems that the Master has nothing for him to do.

It was as if the fact of his birth was of far greater value to her than he himself.

This made Caster concerned about the meaning of his birth.

As an old man who has experienced many ups and downs, the principal could naturally hear the confusion in Caster's tone.

Somehow, he thought back to that night.

He was also sitting in this office, facing the job application from the young man who had begun to call himself Voldemort.

The difference is that that person has strayed too far from the right path.

As the principal, he rejected the job application out of responsibility to his students.

Although his approach was proven correct in the end, Dumbledore couldn't help but start thinking.

Perhaps, in the past, that person had been confused and had doubts.

But in the end, he still insisted on his own way down the dark path.

Could it be that the fake burning wardrobe order that he used to intimidate him made him decide the direction?

If I had not educated him in this way at that time, but guided him in a more correct way.

So, would the results be different?

"Perhaps, you can find your own meaning in Hogwarts."

Dumbledore accepted the caster.

The headmaster was not the only one to accept the wizard's job application.

Also as an educator, I take on the responsibility of guiding a lost child.

"Thank you."

Caster spoke up.

"But first I still need to hear how you plan to teach."

Of course, Dumbledore didn't intend to let Caster teach the students directly.

At least listen to how he teaches.

If it is really not suitable, you still have to think of other solutions.

"Well - when I come to class, I will focus on practice and teach students how to deal with dark magical creatures and dark magic."

Caster said after a moment's thought.

In fact, he had no idea what courses were required for the position he was applying for.

Defense Against the Dark Arts can only be understood literally.

"So, what are the details?"

The principal continued to ask.

"Let me think about it. Let's start with Avada Kedavra, let the students know the three unforgivable curses, and then look at other dark magic."

Caster subconsciously recited the spell that left the deepest impression in his subconscious mind.

Dumbledore's expression froze.

Although in the book, Harry's fourth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor did the same thing.

But that was when the principal really had no other choice.

——At that time, Hogwarts had a new professor every year, so other people didn't dare to apply for the job.

Now, Voldemort is no longer a threat and the safety of the wizarding world is guaranteed.

At the same time, the curse on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has been lifted, and there will no longer be disposable professors in the future.

Once again, Hogwarts had a choice.

Therefore, the principal obviously could not accept this way of education.

On the other hand, Caster was still explaining his educational plan.

"...As for Dark Magic creatures, perhaps we can start with the more dangerous ones like Inferi and Dementors."

After experiencing this, the little wizard will no longer be afraid to deal with other dark magic creatures.

This is what the Slytherin way of thinking told Caster.

Merlin nodded silently in the back.

"Mr. Custer, may I know the school you graduated from?"

The principal asked after Caster had finished speaking.

"Ah? My knowledge comes from three wizards. I haven't studied in a wizard academy."

That was the only way caster could answer.

You can't say that I'm actually a fusion of Merlin, Slytherin, and Voldemort, and I was born today and have never been to school, right?

“So it’s a master-apprentice system.”

The principal finally understood why Custer's teaching method was like this.

Unlike school education which seems somewhat mediocre in order to suit the majority of people, wizards who pass down their skills from master to apprentice usually have a stronger personal style.

Apparently, among Custer's three teachers, there was a more radical type.

That's why Custer chose this way of education.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Custer, but I have to say that this kind of education is not suitable for Hogwarts."

The principal looked slightly apologetic.

"?"

Voldemort and Slytherin's subconscious mind raised the question together.

“Too radical.”

The principal explained.

"It's fine for the graduating seniors to experience these dangers, but it's not appropriate for the younger students."

"The younger students are not mentally strong. If they are exposed to black magic at this time, there is a risk that they will go astray."

With the precedent of Voldemort in mind, the headmaster was not willing to take the risk.

In the Harry Potter world, there is no such thing as black magic being good just because it is used.

Almost all black magic is used with malicious intent from the user.

Among the three unforgivable curses, the power of the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse even directly depends on the degree of malice.

The caster must maintain extreme hatred to ensure the power of the spell.

In this situation, even ordinary people can easily have their minds twisted, not to mention wizards, a profession that is closely related to supernatural powers and spirits.

Therefore, Harry could understand what Dumbledore meant.

However, Caster couldn't quite understand.

There is no way, among the materials used to create him, Voldemort and Slytherin are both masters of dark magic.

And in the era when Merlin (the wizarding world) lived, people would not pay attention to the issue of black magic distorting the mind.

After all, only living people are qualified to discuss whether one is mentally normal or not.

If it weren't for Merlin from another world neutralizing it, plus the two insurances of memory cleansing and thought stamping.

The current caster is designated as evil.

"So, what do you mean?"

Although Caster didn't understand, he was willing to accept the principal's opinion.

"I think maybe you need an associate professor to help you share your daily work and also help you get familiar with the atmosphere of Hogwarts?"

The principal discussed with Caster.

Normally, there are multiple professors for each major subject.

Otherwise, seven grades of courses would be enough to take up all the professor's time.

The same should be true for Defense Against the Dark Arts.

But there is no way. In the past, it was almost impossible to recruit students for this course, let alone staff it with professors.

Now, thanks to caster, I can finally arrange my classes normally.

"That's fine with me."

It just so happens that caster feels that his knowledge is not enough and needs to be supplemented.

"Thank you."

The principal said with a smile.

"Then how about we interview the specific candidates together?"

"it is good."

Caster agreed directly.

When the time comes, if Dumbledore says yes, he will just say yes too, which will save a lot of trouble.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet for Mr. Custer's help in solving the curse at Hogwarts."

The position issue was roughly settled, and the principal started talking about another matter.

"I am only responding to the Master's request."

Caster looked at Harley who was eating.

"?"

Dumbledore looked at the two of them strangely.

The word "master" has many meanings, including master, lord, master, etc.

But no matter which meaning it is, it doesn't seem to be able to describe the relationship between the two.

"The relationship between the boss and the younger brother."

Harley said, putting down her fork.

After all, this matter is not easy to explain, so she can only deal with it this way.

Seeing that Harry was unwilling to say more, Dumbledore did not ask any more questions.

Although the principal was indeed a little curious about how Harry got to know Caster.

He had never heard of such a powerful wizard in Britain before...

"No matter what, you have helped Hogwarts a lot, so if you have any requests, you can ask me."

The principal said to Caster.

Caster turned to look at Harley.

"It's up to you to decide. After all, it's your decision."

As Harry spoke, he picked up the cup and continued his afternoon tea.

Caster withdrew his gaze, thought for a while and said:

"Can I see the books at Hogwarts?"

This is probably his only need at the moment.

Now he has the ability but lacks the corresponding knowledge, so he cannot fully display his strength.

However, Dumbledore shook his head, but it did not mean to refuse.

"Every professor at Hogwarts has the right to view all the books in the library."

The headmaster introduced Caster to the employee benefits of Hogwarts professors.

"Then I have no more requests."

Caster really didn't know what else he needed.

"Well...if you don't mind."

The principal paused for a moment.

"Perhaps I can serve as your guide and provide you with some references on your path of magic."

Honestly, teach a wizard who can solve the curse left by Voldemort.

This was difficult even for Dumbledore.

But out of gratitude to Caster and his reluctance to let him go, the principal still proposed this plan.

"It's my pleasure."

Caster agreed without any hesitation.

Whether it was Voldemort's subconscious, Slytherin's, or Merlin, they all judged that Dumbledore was a powerful wizard.

It is beneficial to learn from him.

"it is good."

There was a glimmer of joy in the principal's eyes.

"By the way, I have another question. This is just my curiosity. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to."

He spoke hesitantly, as if he was a little hesitant.

"Please tell me."

Caster spoke up.

"Are you related to Slytherin?"

The principal asked politely.

“I did connect with him (making the material).”

caster replied.

"I see."

The principal, who received the answer, seemed to have hallucinations for a moment.

He always felt that what he saw was not Caster, but Tom of the past.

This made him even more unable to let go.
