Professor Riddell did not roll the roll like other professors did. He just stood behind the podium and scanned the faces of the class, and then began to give lectures.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already had five Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, and with me, six." Tom said, his voice not loud, but due to the silence in the classroom, the deep voice seemed to be It rang in my ears.All the students in the room—even the least serious ones in class—perked up their ears, trying to catch every word Professor Riddle said.

"Each professor has his own teaching method and focus. For any other course, such frequent professor changes may be fatal to your study, because you have no way to study this course systematically. What you have learned The knowledge you have is scattered. Maybe a professor just started teaching you the method of breaking the curse, and before you have fully started, another professor started to teach you how to deal with various black magic animals. "

"There are rumors that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cursed by me, which caused all kinds of accidents to happen to the professors who teach the class. It can only be taught for a year at most." Tom's voice was lower, almost Whispering, the little snakes and little badgers couldn't help but get nervous, "The rumors are true." Tom showed a smug, slightly childish smile, "One of my proudest curses, Dumbledore can't do anything about it until now. Lifted. However, now that I am a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this curse will naturally be lifted. As for whether I will be re-elected, I don't know."

"Curses are also a type of black art. You will learn about the simpler curses in the next course, so we won't talk about them for now. What I want to say is that changing professors so frequently is actually helpful for you to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good. If you think I say this to excuse yourself, please feel free. But learning from different professors, you can actually get in touch with each professor's different ideas and methods of defense against black magic, which is very valuable There are so many different types and branches of black magic, even I dare not say that I have fully mastered black magic, it is unpredictable, the same spell, different wizards may have completely different effects, different wizards The defense methods are also different. There is no absolute correctness, only the difference between effective and ineffective. If you just learn a professor’s way of dealing with black magic rigidly, then there is a high possibility that this way is not suitable for you. Learning black magic For magic defense, it is very important to use the method you are best at."

Tom paused, and the class fell silent.Seeing that Professor Riddle does not have Avada (?), or Cruciatus (?) anyone, everyone's nervousness has been relieved a lot, at least the fear of running away at any time at the beginning has basically disappeared.

"Since what you have learned before are all scattered knowledge points, what you need most now is a framework to connect these knowledge points." Tom took out his wand, and the students in the audience flinched subconsciously. Tsukuru didn't see it, and continued, "Last year, Lupine taught you how to deal with some common dark magic creatures, such as boggarts, red hats, and werewolves." The words "Dark Magic Creature" formed in the air, "Lockhart is basically useless, so I won't talk about it... Black once taught common spells such as the Disarming Charm..."

Tom waved his wand while summarizing the main knowledge points in Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the past few years, and soon, a dozen words appeared in midair.Tom waved his hand, and the words in the air began to move with his movements. They arranged themselves, and a thin silver thread connected the same kind of magic together, gradually forming a tree diagram.

The whole class stretched their necks, and their eyes closely followed the movement of the words in the air.

"Presumably from this picture, you can also see that you have learned a lot of ways to defend against black magic, but you know very little about what black magic is and what you want to defend against." Tom said, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth, "I think both the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore think that you are too young to tell you what black magic is too early. It is inevitable that some people will be tempted by it and take the wrong path. The way. But I think sometimes the unknown and the forbidden itself are the most deadly attraction. If I could have learned this knowledge in class, maybe I would not go to the restricted area to find, well, other professors may be in this Time to add, 'I'm not encouraging you to go to the restricted area'." Tom blinked and said, "I just want to say, before doing anything, as long as you think clearly about the consequences and are willing to accept the consequences, please feel free. And don't be I caught it, no one thought of confinement in my office, right?"

"I believe that you will be better able to defend yourself against the Dark Arts if you understand the nature of the Dark Arts. The Ministry of Magic and other professors may not like what I teach you, but who cares. I am your Dark Arts Professor Defense, I have the final say on what to teach." Tom stepped off the podium and walked to the middle of the classroom while talking, "Then, who can tell me what black magic is?"

Tom glanced at the whole class, and only Anita raised her hand. Although the others were less frightened, they still didn't dare to talk about black magic in front of the Dark Lord.

Tom passed Anita, stared at Draco and said, "Mr. Malfoy?"

Draco gave Anita a "I'll just say it" look, took a deep breath, and replied fluently, "Dark magic generally refers to the magic created by dark wizards, which can be divided into three categories: curses, poisonous curses, and jinxes. Among them, curses are the most serious, followed by poisonous curses, and evil curses are the lightest. As long as it is malicious, magic that is mainly used to cause damage and control others can be counted as black magic."

"Very well," said Tom.

Draco couldn't help but let out a relaxed smile.

Tom glanced at Draco and continued, "The book is memorized very well. This is completely the content of "Dark Forces: Self-Defense Guide". There is no own thinking at all. This kind of study habit is exactly what we are learning about black magic... …When defending against the dark arts, it needs to be discarded.”

The smile on Draco's face faded inch by inch.

"But since we're talking about textbooks, let's take out all your textbooks."

The little snake and the little badgers took out the textbooks from their schoolbags.

"Turn to page 17, here is the definition of black magic, which is also the definition generally accepted by the wizarding world. But... completely wrong." Tom said.

The students took out their quills one after another and wrote down Professor Riddle's words on this page.

"So, tear up the page."

The little snake and the little badgers looked up at Tom in disbelief.

"Yes, you heard me right, I said, tear up this page, this whole page is full of nonsense, speculation about the Dark Arts by people who don't know anything about it. Tear it up."

The little snakes and the little badgers looked at each other. At this moment, there was a sound of "呲啦", which was very loud in the quiet classroom. Everyone turned their heads and saw that Anita had torn off the page neatly.

"That'smygirl!" Tom said, "not just this page, from page 17 to page 132, tear them all up, I don't want to see them in this classroom, tear it up, hurry up , tear it all up."

With Anita being the first to tear up the book, the other students also started tearing up hesitantly, and everyone became more and more excited as they tore apart.As a student, there is an inexplicable sense of refreshment in tearing up the book that is usually regarded as the absolute truth.

"Professor Li, Riddle...how to deal with these?" A student asked Tom holding up the torn pages.

"Burn it, shred it, eat it... just keep it out of my sight, whatever you want," said Tom.

As a result, the classroom was bursting with fire, coupled with the sound of tearing books, it was a carnival for the students.A few badgers couldn't control the Burning Curse well, and the flames jumped more than a meter high. However, Professor Riddle's magical ability was strong, and the flames automatically extinguished under his control before they touched other objects.

"Okay." Seeing that everyone was almost torn apart, Tom clapped his hands to call everyone's attention back, "Now that the nonsense is gone, let's talk about the real definition of black magic."

The students who were excited just now quieted down and listened intently to Professor Riddle's speech.Professor Riddle has such an aura that can easily make everyone focus on him.

"Everyone should know that magic in the wizarding world is now divided into black and white." Tom's eyes were full of disdain, "But the term 'black' magic is very unfair to black magic. For the convenience of everyone's understanding, we still call black magic as black magic for the time being, although I strongly disagree with this name-I don't hate black, but the word 'black' generally gives people a bad impression, for example , dark, cruel, evil, etc. But magic itself is neither good nor bad - yes, I mean all magic, including the three unforgivable curses - only the wizard who casts the spell is evil and good A spell is only as good as it is how the wizard uses it. Even if it is created with the intention of hurting others, if it is used to hurt bad people and protect your family and friends? It is still evil ?"
