AWB Chapter 921: Vest
Chapter 921: Vest
"Vest?"
After the students who couldn't find the answer had dispersed a little, Huibara Ai asked in a low voice.
Martin nodded. "That's the evil beast. He must have known that Xiao Wu's longevity lock was triggered, so he came over to check the situation. He probably came with a mission for his mother."
No matter what the identity of the vest's clone is, its ability is very weak when it is first born. For example, if it is a wizard, it is only at the apprentice level, and at most it can obtain rich theoretical knowledge from another wizard-type clone. Therefore, this cowboy teacher is a pretender who only relies on a special magic wand. Probably the few skill points are allocated by the vest to American Iai.
In addition, Ma Jia's disguise was not very careful this time, and his speech style was very different from other teachers. He kept saying "American Iai". In particular, his friendly attitude towards Ma Wu was very different from that towards other students. So although he didn't let him sing to verify it, the other details added up to make it almost certain.
And Martin really didn't notice that the identity of the vest was a fake teacher rather than a real teacher... After all, Hogwarts did have rookie teachers at the apprentice level.
If you think about it carefully, it is obvious that Martin's reaction was within the expectations of the vest, so when creating the identity, he covered up Martin's behavior of attacking or killing the teacher.
Ma Wu, who was sandwiched between them, looked confused: "Brother?"
Martin crossed his arms and shook off the goose bumps the name gave him.
When you see a cockroach at home, there are thousands of them in the corners. The same is true for the vest. The cowboy fake teacher is the vest's intentionally exposed avatar, but in fact, his normal habit is to play the identity of the avatar perfectly, even if it means letting the avatars compete with each other to the death.
"It seems I have to discuss this with the dean and ask all the teachers and students, including the house-elves, to sing a school song together."
……
At dinner that day, all the teachers and students gathered in the auditorium. Dumbledore led them in singing the house song. According to the old rules before Hogwarts became a military academy, there was no designated tune for the house song, and everyone sang according to their favorite rhythm. It was reasonable for the Weasley twins to sing according to the funeral march or Martin to sing according to the hip-slapping rhythm.
That evening, the Gryffindor Student Union held a meeting and decided that six senior girls would take turns to stand guard in Ma Wu's room in groups of two, in an attempt to eliminate any problems, such as fire hazards, in the bud.
Before Ma Wu could go to sleep, they were surprised to find that there were more than ten guards in the room at the same time. They then sounded the alarm, suspecting that a spy had broken in. After another night of tossing and turning, the number of Gryffindor students inexplicably increased by more than twenty girls, and no one could remember who the extra girls were.
……
The study life in the magic academy is still going on. Every morning the freshmen have to do morning exercises which make them run almost to death. Many people have signs of fatigue on their faces from morning till night.
However, everyone gradually adapted to it. The boys' clothes and the girls' hair were neatly arranged within the three-minute wake-up time. After the exercise, the pace of rushing to the cafeteria to grab food began to be more energetic. The freshmen and old students became more and more similar, including getting up in unison after eating, putting away the chairs and walking in unison towards the direction of class.
In fact, no one has ever emphasized discipline to the freshmen. As time goes by, the students naturally change from imitating the old students to getting used to this state. Just like the resonance phenomenon makes the frequency of a group of pendulums become unified, the freshmen are assimilated by the old students.
The time in class was not as romantic as Ma Wu and Harry imagined. Apart from the magical little spells, there were a lot of other things to learn as a wizard.
Of course, there are still some interesting courses. In the first Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall turned the podium into a cow and then taught students how to turn a match into a needle.
Wizards' transfiguration requires finding similarities between objects. A table can be transformed into a cow because it is huge and has four legs. Students can be asked to transform matches into needles because their shapes are similar. In higher grades, they will also be taught to transform a pincushion full of needles into a porcupine or a hedgehog.
Martin turned the matchstick he had handed out into a living puppy that was only five centimeters long, with the wood grain of the matchstick still on its body. He then directed the matchstick puppy to crawl from the table to Ma Wu's front, pick up her matchstick and run away. A matchstick with a needle-like tip fell from the sky and accurately pierced the middle of the matchstick puppy's cervical vertebrae, nailing it to the table like a specimen.
Huihara Ai, who was sitting between Martin and Ma Wu, took action, took the matches from the dead match dog's mouth and returned them to Ma Wu.
Martin leaned over the table and looked over to observe the weapon that Huiyuan Ai used to nail Matchstick Dog to death: "Hey, you succeeded?"
Upon closer inspection, Haibara Ai's matches are not sharpened, but are stretched and pointed, and have a silvery metallic luster on the surface. They have obviously been transformed into thumbtacks, but the other end is still made of wood and a match head.
"I tried to do what the professor said, and it actually worked." Huihara Ai was also amazed: "But when I started to wonder how the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms of lignin were transformed into metal, and what kind of metal it was, the transformation stopped and could not proceed any further."
Although this is not the first time that Haibara Ai has learned magic, this time it feels more real than the previous time when she had no polish and had to rush into learning magic.
Haibara Ai took off the half-melted match, Martin took the dead match dog back, then picked up the staff and gestured at the dead match dog with a thoughtful look on his face.
Haibara Ai looked at his actions and suddenly realized that this guy suddenly became competitive and wanted to use real wizard transfiguration instead of superpowers to transform himself.
It's really childish, like a child.
At this time, a small hand stretched out from another direction, grabbed Huibara Ai's sleeve and pulled it, turned her head and met a pair of watery eyes: Nana, teach me.
……
Soon, no one, whether they were freshmen, seniors or teachers, dared to look down on these three kids. In their eyes, Ma Wu was even scarier than Martin, who brought Peeves to cause trouble.
In just one week, the more than 400 staircases in Hogwarts Castle became more than 700, the 17 towers became more than 100, and the length, width and height of the entire castle were basically tripled.
In addition, there were dozens of accidents such as fires, explosions, unprovoked lightning strikes, and sudden increases in gravity causing flying brooms to crash.
Teachers and students all suspect that the number of students has also increased a lot, but they have no evidence and cannot verify it. Now when students communicate with each other, they are worried that the other person is a fake person.
In the past, Martin would immediately fix Ma Wu's loss of control, so few people would notice it. After arriving at Hogwarts, Martin tried to "let go", and finally made people realize what a walking disaster maker is.
Just when they thought that increasing the number of people was Ma Wu's limit, during the stargazing class every Wednesday night, the stars in the sky suddenly multiplied several times, causing the wizards to panic completely.
In fact, the number of stars in the universe has already multiplied tenfold because of Martin, but because they are hundreds or thousands of light years apart, it normally takes thousands of years to be discovered.
But Ma Wu's ability was even more unreasonable. He doubled the stars she saw and the starlight that had been projected from eternity.
However, after this, Ma Wu's mana bar was depleted, and her ability would not be activated again until the mana bar was naturally replenished. (End of this chapter)
