Harry and the others, in their second years, finally welcomed their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Of course, this was also the first time that Lockhart, a fake professor, was teaching the savior, Harry. Qin Feng, who had been listening and acting as his assistant, had been accompanying him for several days.
According to Qin Feng's observation, Lockhart, as a graduate of Ravenclaw College, was naturally knowledgeable as a professor. At the very least, he should be more than enough to teach the younger students of Hogwarts.
However, it was obvious that after graduation, this guy had not put his mind on practicing magic. On the contrary, he had always wanted to take a shortcut by forgetting everything.
Over the years, other than the Forgotten Emptiness spell, which he had practiced to perfection, he had almost abandoned all other spells. His proficiency was probably not even comparable to that of the students in school.
Of course, what made Lockhart seem weak was his practical ability. His theoretical knowledge was more than enough. At least in the senior classes, Lockhart, who was only responsible for theoretical teaching, had not been exposed as a weakling.
[Yawn ~]
A yawning Qin Feng sat in the last row of the classroom, watching as Lockhart gave the tests to the second years.
Of course, it was called a random test, but none of the questions were about Defense Against the Dark Arts. On the contrary, they were all about Lockhart himself.
The answers to these questions were all hidden in the books recommended by Lockhart.
Even Hermione, who had read all the recommended books, could not get all of them right.
Lockhart's favorite color, for example, was not answered correctly by anyone in the class because it was not in the book.
Although Hermione was a hard-working top student, she had not been in the Wizarding World for long enough to know everything about Lockhart.
Because of this test, other than the little wizards who were his fans, more than half of the people did not have a good impression of him.
[Ahem…It seems that not everyone can read through the book I recommended like Miss Granger, so…Gryffindor 5 points!]」
Putting everything else aside, Lockhart's move had directly improved Hermione's impression of him, and at the same time, the Gryffindor students who had been awarded points looked much better.
"All of you have taken a year of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and you must have gained some understanding of the subject under the guidance of your last professor!」
Everyone rolled their eyes at Lockhart's words.
Last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had been Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort.
In order to hide, this fellow had been pretending to be a failure for an entire year. Naturally, the quality of his teaching was also quite worrying.
In fact, from Harry's first year in school, every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had failed to pass the mark.
In his first year, Quirrell was considered a traitor and spy.
Lockhart the next year, he was a complete liar.
In his third year, Lupin, who was a rare dutiful teacher, was a werewolf and was replaced by Snape before he could finish his year.
The fourth-year Mad-Eye Moody was actually Barty Crouch, the Death Eater, in disguise, and also a spy for Voldemort.
In her fifth year, Umbridge, a clown from the Ministry of Magic, was even banned from practicing magic in class.
In his sixth year, Snape was another rare competent teacher. Unfortunately, Hogwarts was not peaceful this year, and the teaching environment was worrying.
In his seventh year, Amycus Caro became a Death Eater under Voldemort, and his subject was changed to the Dark Arts.
Compared to the seven years of professors, Lockhart was not the worst, but he could definitely be ranked in the top three.
But Lockhart obviously didn't have such self-awareness. He had deceived the world for so many years that he had even deceived himself. He really thought that he was the Defense Against the Dark Arts master who had experienced countless adventures in the book.
[Now, all of you, look over here…]
Lockhart had reached the edge of the dais, wand in hand, and was standing next to something covered by a red cloth.
"No matter what you have learned in the past, my duty now is to teach you how to deal with…the most evil and dangerous creatures in the Magic World!」
When the person in the classroom heard Lockhart's words, he was so nervous that he trembled. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the window and door, as if some dangerous creature could crawl out at any time.
Lockhart looked at the reactions of the young wizards as if they were facing a great enemy. He smiled and waved the wand in his hand gently at the red cloth beside him.
In the next second, something under the red cloth seemed to have been stimulated, causing the entire red cloth to tremble.
This strange scene caused the group of young Magi to subconsciously move their bodies back.
[... Extremely low risk!]
Qin Feng cultivates the lightning technique and can clearly sense the slight malice coming from under the red cloth. That thing is not even comparable to Huang Daxian, let alone a Bronze-Armored Corpse like Old Master Ren.
When Lockhart lifted the red cloth in front of everyone, the classroom was filled with an initial gasp, followed by an uproar.
[Cornish elf?]
Someone said the name of the little blue monster that was filled with a cage under the red cloth.
He had a livid face, eight inches tall, a small pointed face, and small bat wings on his back. He was like a monkey with ADHD, struggling non-stop in the iron cage.
If not for the cage trapping them, these little monsters would have flown everywhere.
Of course, they were completely different from the fairies in fairy tales. Instead, they were more like a group of little demons from hell.
As they recognized the true face of the most dangerous creature Lockhart had mentioned, they relaxed and completely ignored the little monster.
In fact, according to the Ministry of Magic's judgment of mystical creatures, the Cornish elf was indeed a low-risk existence.
"Professor Lockhart... I have no intention of interfering with your teaching, but I must warn you!」
Lockhart was just like the original plot, bringing out a group of magical creatures that even first-year students could deal with as the content of his first lesson.
"Although the Cornish elves are the least dangerous among the mystical creatures…you seem to have overestimated the students 'ability to respond to emergencies and control these creatures!」
Qin Feng didn't hate giving his students more opportunities to fight, but Lockhart's action of not using any defensive measures and directly attacking was undoubtedly very brainless.
Facing Qin Feng's kind reminder, Lockhart did not notice the problem with his own ability. He was still full of confidence.
[Professor Qin, believe me…I'm the recipient of the Rank-3 Medal of Sir Merlin!]」
As he spoke, Lockhart did not forget to curl the corners of his mouth, revealing his iconic white teeth.
