Hogwarts: The Witch Education Handbook

All the little badgers gathered around Bonu after class.

"Bonu, let me play with you."

"I want to play too, Bonu."

In no time, all five sets of chessboards were gone.

Thanks to the enthusiastic promotion of their seniors by many young badgers, by the afternoon, most students in all seven years and four houses of Hogwarts knew about Professor Sean's unique teaching style.

What?

you do not know.

You'll see if you go to the entrance of the Hufflepuff's announcement lounge.

Hufflepuff's small lounge was already packed with people, with young wizards craning their necks to watch the wizard-killer duel that was being surrounded in the middle.

"I'll use Professor Sean!"

"I'll use Professor Snape!"

Soon, the two most popular wizard cards were chosen by the young wizards, leaving the remaining three to select "Dumbledore," "Lockhart," and "Mad-Eye Moody."

The young wizard who chose "Mad-Eye Moody" didn't actually know who "Mad-Eye Moody" was; he just thought the character card looked fierce, so he chose him.

This match is a 5v10 magical duel, and the commentator is Lee Jordan, whom they specially brought back from the Gryffindor common room.

They will face off against ten "Dark Wizard" cards in the battle to defend Hogwarts.

Soon, the duel slowly began in this tense and exciting atmosphere.

"Steed Bonu, controlling 'Professor Sean,' successfully stunned one of the enemy's dark wizards with a single stun spell, reducing his health by one and rendering him unable to act for five rounds. It was a swift and decisive strike!"

Lee Jordan's booming commentary echoed through the Hufflepuff common room.

"And Howard Ibanez, who used 'Professor Snape,' was no slouch either. His swift and decisive Disarming Charm disarmed one of the dark wizards, rendering him completely incapable of attacking unless he found a 'weapon card'—a wand—from his deck. It was a truly clever choice!"

"..."

"Oh no! Naslin Weitz, who's controlling 'Lockhart,' is in trouble. He's surrounded by three dark wizards, and it seems he's run out of defensive cards... What should we do?"

The surrounding people were also tense by this sudden change, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the duel on the field, afraid of missing any exciting moment.

"At this critical moment, Naslin Weitz did not panic. He calmly scanned the dark wizards surrounding him and quickly formulated a plan in his mind. He suddenly activated Lockhart's special skill - Charisma. This skill can greatly enhance Lockhart's defense for a short time and has a certain chance to put the enemy into a brief state of confusion."

"Come on, let's take a look at the judgment card."

"Judgment card: 7 of Hearts. Congratulations, Mr. Naslin Weitz, your ability has been successfully activated!"

"Sure enough, one of the dark wizards was bewitched by Lockhart's charm and temporarily stopped attacking. Naslin Weitz took the opportunity to draw an Ironclad Charm from his deck and immediately built a solid defense for himself."

"On the other hand, Lillian Waters, who was controlling 'Professor Dumbledore,' also demonstrated her strategy. She used 'Professor Dumbledore's' high intelligence and powerful magic to unleash an area-of-effect attack spell, which instantly severely injured the two dark wizards on the opposing side, greatly reducing their health."

"..."

The first and second graders were fine, but by the time Professor Sean taught them, they would also be able to obtain the alchemical tools from the Wizard Killer.

But the older badgers looked wilted and listless, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.

They could only join in after the younger badgers had gotten tired of playing.

But this is something you can't get tired of in a short time.

George Weasley and Fred Weasley, who were well-informed, also learned of this news early on.

The shrewd of them immediately thought of something.

You can ask the badgers for test questions so they can get high scores and become the class representative.

Not only can you guard the wizard and kill him for fun, but you can also add thirty points to your own academy.

It's worth noting that the two of them rarely contribute to the college's academic standing.

If they can successfully add thirty points to the college's score, then they can do whatever they want in the school.

Of course, for them, the extra points were just a side effect; the former was their main focus.

They wanted to study how the alchemical tools used by wizards were made. If they could make similar tools, wouldn't countless Galleons swarm towards them?

Moreover, they also wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Professor Sean.

It wasn't because of the other person's identity as a writer or adventurer; they genuinely wanted to learn from the professor how he came up with and created such an interesting gadget.

In order to achieve their plan, they reluctantly took some Galleons from their own savings and bought a lot of candy from Honeydukes to bribe the badger and obtain the questions for Professor Sean's test.

But is the money spent gone forever?

You're seriously underestimating those two.

They resold these original questions to the Slytherin snakes at a high price.

Their bids were getting higher and higher.

After all, the class representative's power seems to be no less than that of the grade leader.

Who doesn't want their hats to keep getting higher and higher?

When the Weasley brothers received far more Galleons than they had paid, they were overjoyed.

Now they announce it.

Professor Sean is absolutely their favorite person, without a doubt!

Anyone who messes with Professor Sean is messing with those two brothers.

Meanwhile, Sean in the office was unaware that he had gained two die-hard fans.

He's facing a huge problem right now!

...

"Professor Sean."

A man dressed in a black robe, with a thin face and sallow skin, stood in front of Sean's desk.

Sean put down the badgers' test papers, looked up, and saw Snape.

"Professor Snape, what brings you here?"

Snape spoke with a sinister expression, "During class this afternoon, a few young wizards asked me what 'Divine Strike' was, and they complimented me on how cool I was when I used spells. Do you have any clue about that?"

"Well..."

Sean was speechless for a moment.

He truly hadn't expected that a young wizard would actually risk his life to interview Snape.

He sincerely hoped that those young wizards would have a good life from now on.

"I think these young wizards are just too adoring of Professor Snape," Sean chuckled. "After all, when I was in school, you were also my most admired professor..."

"Let me see." Snape reached his hand out from under his robes.

"What?"

"That alchemical item called 'Wizard Killer'."

Sean quickly took out a new chessboard and cards from the drawer and placed them on his desk.

Snape calmly reached out and took the card. His fingers lightly traced the edge of the card, his eyes scanning over the skill description and the introduction on the back, but he did not reveal much emotion.

However, when he flipped through a certain card, his eyes seemed to narrow slightly. It was a fleeting look of surprise, but it was quickly concealed by his deep composure.

He looked up at Sean, his tone nonchalant: "How do you play this?"

Sean seemed oblivious to Snape's momentary surprise, calmly explaining, "It's a puzzle game similar to Wizard's Chess."

As he spoke, he drew a Snape wizard card and his own wizard card from his deck and gently placed them on the exquisite chessboard.

As the two cards were placed, two miniature characters immediately appeared on the board—"Little Shaun" and "Little Snape".

They were so lifelike, as if they were carved from the same mold as the two people in front of them.

Snape was shocked by the strange changes before him, but he maintained his unfathomable expression. His eyes sparkled with curiosity and exploration of the unknown, yet he remained completely composed.

"Interesting." Snape's voice was deep and magnetic. "And then?"

Sean drew four cards and handed them to Snape: "Turn-based. Use the cards in your hand in combination with the unique abilities of the wizard cards to attack and achieve victory."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to play a card, demonstrating it to Snape.

......

After a thrilling Wizards vs. Wizards match, Sean's meticulously crafted Wizards vs. Wizards game received high praise from Snape—it was all show and no substance.

Moreover, Snape frowned slightly as he said this, revealing his dissatisfaction with this detail of the game.

Then, a critical glint flashed in Snape's deep black eyes as he slowly spoke in a calm and profound tone: "No wizard would stand still and let you aim and attack him."

Snape paused slightly, then said in a more sarcastic tone, "The timing of the spell, the speed of drawing the staff, the finesse of the movement—all these affect a duel, don't you know that?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Sean, sharp as knives.

Sean shrugged helplessly.

"There's no way around it. With the current level of alchemy, it's difficult to create a game that's very realistic." Sean paused, then continued to explain, "Besides, the original intention of making this game was to stimulate students' interest in learning and to let them more intuitively understand the weaknesses of some dark magic creatures and how to deal with them."

"Did you make this yourself?"

"I came up with the game, and I commissioned Professor Dumbledore to create these alchemical items."

"So, Dumbledore knew about this?"

"That's right." Sean nodded, not avoiding Snape's scrutiny at all.

To be honest, Sean believed that no one was more in favor of this matter than Dumbledore.

According to Dumbledore's arrangement in the original books, he knew that when Harry Potter was born, Dumbledore had already begun to plan for his growth and safety.

Sean believed that Dumbledore had sensed long ago that the countdown to peace in the wizarding world had begun the moment Harry Potter enrolled.

That boy, burdened by a life of hardship, carried too much on his shoulders, and he needed more preparation and strength to face the challenges to come.

Dumbledore couldn't possibly put all his eggs in one basket with Harry Potter; that wouldn't be in line with his character.

Therefore, when Sean proposed the idea for this game, Dumbledore supported it without hesitation. Through this game, students could simulate realistic magical combat in a relatively safe environment, improving their combat skills and adaptability to cope with future challenges...

Snape paused for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of the matter.

Finally, he slowly spoke, "Since Professor Dumbledore has approved, I will also support your game. However, you must ensure that this game will not negatively impact the students' studies and lives."

"I promise."

When Snape emerged from Sean's office with a brand-new set of Wizarding Killers, he was still somewhat dazed.

He had just seen a doe on that chessboard.

A doe he thought would never appear again.
