This was the first examination held by the Magic Kingdom, and it would last for two weeks.
The examination consisted of both written and practical examinations. Apart from the practical examination of astronomy, which was scheduled at night, the other examinations were completed during the day.
As usual, all the examination papers were imbued with the strictest anti-cheating spells. Quill pens, memory balls, detachable cuffs, and automatic error-correcting inks were forbidden to be brought into the examination hall. The only difference was that the most popular handheld televisions and magic mobile phones, as well as the badges that could transmit messages, were listed as new prohibited items and were not allowed to be brought into the examination hall.
After breakfast and the vocational counseling, the students of the other grades went to class, while the seventh and fifth grade students wandered around the hall aimlessly. Everyone wanted to seize the last moment to revise, but no one seemed to be able to make any progress.
The first subject of the examination was herbology. The seventh grade students poured out of the Hogwarts Castle and went to the greenhouse.
Unlike the previous grouping, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were often placed together. They were assigned to greenhouse No. 2, while Ravenclaw and Slytherin were assigned to greenhouse No. 3, where they would complete the herbology examination.
Although the content of the examination was actually the same, the plants in greenhouse No. 3 were more interesting and dangerous than the other greenhouses. The little wizards had learned not to touch the plants in the greenhouse during their long school years. There were some strange plants and fungi that could pose a fatal threat to the wizards.
The smell of damp soil and fertilizer assaulted their nostrils, mixed with the rich fragrance of flowers, and a rotten smell that was far more bizarre than the taste. This instantly made some of the adepts who wanted to take the exam after eating their fill to maintain their stamina felt a chill run down their spines.
The flowers in the greenhouse were as big as umbrellas, hanging down from the ceiling. The lush poisonous tendrils were wriggling on the wooden shelves, wriggling restlessly.
Some of the witches and some of the more mysophobic young wizards had no choice but to run out of the greenhouse and cast a Bubble Head Spell on themselves before they dared to enter. At least now, the Hogwarts wizards had no problem casting spells.
The wizards carefully avoided the unusually vigorous nettles so that they would not scratch their faces. At the end of the greenhouse, the head examiner, Professor Tofudi, was also looking at the students below. He looked at Allen, who was standing in the crowd in front of him, over the top of his pince-nez glasses, and smiled at him as a sign of respect. Obviously, he did not intend to give any special treatment to Allen, and he was very sure that the powerful magic king did not need it.
Allen, who had just left the cafeteria, went back to his office and lay down. He finally took off the king's costume, and in order to show that he was going to take the examination as a student, he finally wore the Hogwarts uniform after almost two years. Although the Ravenclaw uniform had now changed into the arcanist style.
"Well, there's no need to be nervous. Although the Ministry of Magic has increased the difficulty of the examination, the students are still in the exploration stage after the reform, so the examination questions should be very conservative compared to what you've learned …" Professor Tofudi, who always liked to calm the nervous students during the examination, said in a trembling voice, "Welcome, everyone. Now, we're going to start the final level examination in the field of herbalism. We'll start with a written examination. The written examination is about whether you understand plants and their use in magic … Let's start directly. Please take your seats."
The examiner waved his magic wand, and the vines in the surrounding soil began to grow wildly, then twisted themselves and finally formed a living plant examination table. The young wizards did not have any special reaction to the examiner's move, because everyone knew that it was actually Professor Pomona Sprout's credit. She had arranged the plants in advance, and Professor Tofudi was only responsible for activating them.
Then, rolls of parchment paper flew into the hands of the wizards who had already taken their seats.
Allen, who was sitting on the chair, first used his finger to cast a spell to adjust the height of the table and chair, then glanced at the unfolded test paper and roughly skimmed through the questions quickly.
Compared to the Ultimate Wizard Exam in the past, the questions this time were not as easy as the examiner had said. Both the types of questions and the number of answers required had increased. More importantly, the knowledge involved was much broader, and the difficulty of the questions had increased by quite a bit.
However, after reading the last few questions, Allen's slight worry about the warning from the professors in the morning disappeared. Although many of the written examination questions were new knowledge that had recently been innovated, none of them were beyond the scope of his knowledge. Some of the questions were even new inventions by him and the Umbrella Corporation.
Therefore, Allen, who knew what was going on, calmly spread out the parchment.
"What kind of harm can touching the trunk of the Guardian Tree protect you from?" Allen wrote "Dark creatures" on the parchment paper without hesitation. Then his gaze continued to move down. "What principle does Milebu and Milebu use to defend themselves?" Allen immediately recalled the scene when Neville held a Milebu and Milebu. He smiled slightly, bent down, and quickly wrote "stinky juice" on the test paper.
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Allen, who had to maintain the dignity of a headmaster, was the first to finish the test paper at an astonishing speed. Without even checking, he stood up and was the first to hand in the test paper to Professor Tofudi, becoming the first person to hand in the test paper.
The other students and examiners were not surprised by this speed. Everyone knew that Tofudi was just going through the motions. Professor Tofudi just nodded. He roughly glanced at the paper and knew the theoretical level of the king and headmaster in front of him. Then, the examiner pointed at the mud shovels in the corner with his bulging veins and tangled skin. His voice was weak, but it clearly reached Allen's ears. "Mr. Harris, please roll up your sleeves, pick up the mud shovel, and start your practical examination. This is mainly to test your ability to handle and take care of magic plants. When you start, I'll start the timer. You need to evaluate the needs of a white moss, fertilize the Venomous Geraniums, repot the Mandrake … "
When Allen finished his diagnosis of the moss and began to fertilize the Venomous Geraniums, Hermione in Greenhouse No. 2 became the first candidate to complete the written test and began her practical examination.
According to the examiner's request, she chose to shovel mud. When she came back, she saw a pot of listless purple Squeaky Tree placed where she was sitting before. She held a kettle and skillfully avoided the Squeaky Tree's twisting stems. As the person in charge of the Umbrella Group, which started its business with magic potions, she was very professional when it came to herbs. She looked at the Squeaky Tree, which was happily twisting its body after drinking water. She put down the kettle and turned to the Mandrake beside her.
The examiner, the founder of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association and the head examiner, Hector Daggeworth Granger, walked over and hurriedly cast an earplugs listening spell around Hermione to prevent the other students who were still doing the written test from fainting.
"Hermione, put on earmuffs and dragon-skin gloves. Be prepared … Hermione? Hermione? " The head examiner whispered in a flattering tone within the spell barrier, but he found that Hermione seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"Uh? I'm sorry … "Hermione's eyes rolled a few times in a daze. When she heard the head examiner repeat himself again, she replied confidently," Thank you, Mr. Granger. But I know the habits of the Mandrake very well. I won't be bitten. Besides, I've gotten used to its cry … "
Hermione knew that the examiner was trying to be nice to her. She originally thought that they were not related by blood. Later, when she achieved success and fame in the wizarding world, the famous potion master came to prove that her father was actually the descendant of a Granger's squeak. Thus, they became relatives.
