When they weren't talking about serious matters, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
Under Jon's gaze, Dumbledore quickly finished writing two letters. Then, he handed the letter to Fawkes, who sent the letter to the American Ministry of Magic. Then, he summoned an owl from the owl shed to deliver the letter to the American Association of Black Mages.
The former was a personal request for help, while the latter was a severe criticism of the Association of Black Mages for repeatedly persecuting the students of Hogwarts.
Anyway, it was a letter, and they were originally from the opposing camp, so there was no problem in using harsh words.
Moreover, Dumbledore had already written a letter to the other side last time. This time, the other side was clearly trying to provoke Dumbledore. To put it bluntly, it was a provocation.
In the face of such provocation, Dumbledore only wrote a letter of criticism, which was a very commendable kindness.
"So, Headmaster, good night?"
"Wait a moment, Jon. I have one more thing, a personal matter, I don't know if you're interested in hearing it?"
Jon stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Dumbledore.
"Of course," Jon was stunned for a moment, then sat back in his seat. "Please go ahead."
"If I'm not wrong, your current strength should be much higher than your peers."
"Of course."
Jon didn't hide it. This was the truth, and since Dumbledore could see it, there was nothing to hide.
"My ancestors and family taught me a lot."
"Of course, of course, I've always admired Helga's teaching ability."
Dumbledore rummaged through the drawer and pulled out a document that looked quite old.
"I think the plan you just described to me is very likely, and this behavior reminded me of something. This is a document left behind by my previous headmaster, Amando Dippert. Take a look."
Jon took the document without a clue and lowered his head to read it.
A moment later.
"Headmaster, this document …" Jon looked up and asked in confusion, "This should be a wartime document."
"Of course, when Amando was in office, it happened to be a time of war, so the documents he left behind are naturally miniature versions of that era."
Dumbledore nodded and continued, "How about it? Are you interested? I guarantee that this document will work. Even in the Ministry of Magic, no one will say anything."
"Of course I believe your words, but if I sign this document, I'm afraid I'll be completely reduced to a tool, right?"
"Tool man … that's an interesting term."
Dumbledore chuckled, but it could be seen that he really thought highly of this document. He even had enough confidence that Jon would agree.
"That's not what I meant. In fact, this document can provide you with a lot of convenience, right?"
Of course it was convenient. Otherwise, he would have left long ago.
Jon remained silent. In fact, this document's existence was illogical now, but during that time of war, this document was the bottom line of the Wizard World's military strength.
Because of its existence, this document was not revoked by the Ministry of Magic, but remained in the headmaster's office in Hogwarts.
But at this time, this document did not seem to conform to the rules.
"I think, if I really sign this and use this … privilege, the professors will criticize me for not following the rules, right?"
"Aren't rules meant to serve people in the first place?"
Jon was not used to Dumbledore saying something so "unholy", but he also felt that his opinion of Dumbledore in the past was not very objective.
If it was Helga, she would not think that Dumbledore's behavior was wrong.
In the past, Dumbledore's great image was built on Jon's "original work" and the various legends and biographies of the Wizard World. Jon rarely interacted with Dumbledore. In fact, the number of times he talked to Dumbledore face-to-face was less than the number of fingers on one hand.
But every time he interacted with Dumbledore, it was related to a lot of messy things. These things had continued until now, and were still increasing.
This was very much like two players, or it was not a problem to say that they were gamblers. After all, the players were constantly reducing the number of chess pieces in their hands, while the gamblers were constantly increasing the stakes.
"You have a point. Rules are supposed to serve people, but does this count as opening a back door for me?"
"I don't think so. This is completely according to the procedures. Based on my direct examination, your strength has already reached the level of a fifth-grade student. There are many magic spells that only fifth-grade students can learn. Without this document, you won't be able to use them even if you learn them."
Dumbledore sincerely hoped that Jon would sign this document because Jon's speed of improvement was really fast. Even he felt that it was fast, and what he said was also the truth.
Jon knew how much strength he had. In fact, he originally planned to spend the rest of his time slowly, mainly focusing on research while waiting for Helga to wake up from her deep sleep.
With the Bloodline Purification Potion, even if he did not improve his current level, he would be able to completely advance to the "Professor level" in two or three years. At the same time, he would be able to complete a lot of research results.
Dumbledore's agreement provided him with another path.
During that time of war, the graduates of Hogwarts and the students who did not graduate but had the corresponding strength, as a relatively high level of strength, as long as they signed this agreement and promised that they would go to the battlefield during wartime, they would be able to obtain corresponding benefits, including being able to study in advance and not have to abide by some of the school's rules, etc. There was even one more thing that was most excessive.
Jon did not have to go to class.
It was not the kind that did not have to go to class when learning from a teacher, but when Jon had something to do, he did not have to go to any class.
This range of things to do was completely up to the individual's opinion, and he had complete freedom.
And the price was that he had to go to the battlefield.
"Actually, if the school allows it, our school can let students go on study trips to offset the school's curriculum, but this rule has been abolished many years ago. Now, this is your reward."
"Principal, this reward is also overpaid, right?"
"Is it?" Dumbledore blinked and spread his hands. "I think it's very worth it."
