In the first class, Sebastian explained in detail the techniques for using the Levitation Charm in combat situations.
Initially, the children were unconcerned with the Levitation Charm, but after seeing Sebastian easily subdue the strongest student among them, they finally began to take this magic seriously.
"Many spells may seem simple and weak on the surface, but in the hands of a master of magic, they can unleash unimaginable power at a crucial moment in battle.
So I need you to remember one thing: there is no such thing as strong magic or weak magic, only strong magicians and weak magicians.
Okay, that is all for today's class. The homework is for everyone to go back and write at least three scenarios in which the Levitation Charm can be effective in combat or daily life, with a minimum of one hundred words for each scenario.
The person who writes enough credible examples will receive two extra credits. I believe you should know what credits represent by now, right?"
The credit system at Hogwarts originated from Sebastian himself.
Each student earns ten credits per year. Infractions will result in deductions based on the severity of the offense, while outstanding performance will be rewarded accordingly. The criteria for judging credits are entirely up to the teacher. Of course, Kaecilius and two other teachers from the Discipline Department review the deductions and rewards monthly to prevent any shady practices from occurring.
Credits have a single purpose: to purchase various school-provided items, from wands and potions to various materials and even to soliciting teachers for assistance. As long as these purchases do not violate school rules, credits can be used for anything. They are the hard currency of Hogwarts.
Of course, to prevent the school from becoming solely focused on credits and not on relationships between students, Sebastian has established numerous rules to ensure the integrity of the credit system.
It is also worth noting that, in addition to their regular salaries, Hogwarts teachers receive a monthly bonus of ten credits, totaling 120 credits per year. Accumulating these credits over three years can be exchanged for a wand crafted by Sebastian himself using high-quality materials.
To motivate, or perhaps even entice, the teachers and students, Sebastian placed his current wand on the first line of the redemption page.
The wand's shaft was crafted from a branch of Asgard's golden apple tree, and its core was a raven feather from Odin's shoulder.
Combined with the list of the wand's effects, the teachers and students were immediately filled with envy. However, when they saw the credits they would need to redeem it, their hopes were dashed completely.
Twelve thousand credits!
Even if a teacher did not use a single credit, without other income, it would take them a hundred years to accumulate enough.
While this staggering number of credits dampened some people's hopes, it also instilled in others a deeper understanding of the value of credits, leading them to go all out in the fight for them.
Therefore, upon learning that a good homework assignment would earn them two credits, the students were immediately excited. After bidding Sebastian farewell, they quickly ran back to their dormitories to do their homework.
"Hot-blooded boys and innocent girls are so easy to motivate."
Shaking his head with a smile, Sebastian returned to his office and looked at Wanda sitting in his seat. He walked over and put his arm around Wanda's shoulders, resting his chin on Wanda's shoulder and said, "Wanda, how do you feel about classes recently?"
"It feels pretty good. I have taken classes with Charles before. I can calm those little ones down by imitating Charles. Besides, I am the famous Scarlet Witch."
"How have your abilities recovered recently?"
"They are almost recovered, and my mutant abilities are also recovering well. It is just that I always feel like something is calling me recently, and I do not know what it is. That is why I came to you recently. Otherwise, I would not bother you. Whether it is Hogwarts or the Illuminati, you have too many things to take care of, and I cannot add any more burden to you."
Sebastian hearing her first half of the sentence frowned a little thinking about her calling but soon shifted his focus to second half of her sentence.
"You all know about the Illuminati?"
"You did not try to hide it, so we naturally knew. Most of the Avengers actually trust the Illuminati. After all, the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are two separate organizations, but they trust and cooperate with each other. The Illuminati should not be much different. It is just that the Avengers trust the Illuminati, but S.H.I.E.L.D. does not seem so confident."
Upon hearing Wanda's words, Sebastian had a rough idea of what was going on, so he asked directly, "Wanda, did Fury say or show anything specific?"
Shrugging, Wanda knew she could not hide it from Sebastian, so she spoke openly. "Fury and Tony had a fight about the Illuminati's legitimacy. Fury felt the Illuminati's membership was too dangerous. Two leaders of intelligent races other than humans, one from a parallel universe, were too dangerous for the average person on Earth in his opinion."
"But whether it is Tony, Reed, or me, we are all humans on Earth..."
At this point, Sebastian suddenly realized what Fury actually meant.
Namor was the king of Atlantis, representing the interests of the Atlanteans.
Black Bolt is the king of the Inhuman Nation, representing the interests of the Inhuman race.
Charles is one of the two most prominent leaders of the parallel universe's mutants, and in Fury's eyes, he represents the interests of the mutants of that parallel universe.
As for Sebastian, Reed, and Tony, Fury sees them as anything but ordinary people.
While Tony may be physically ordinary, he possesses a world-class intellect, a suit he crafts that grants him powers exceeding those of most superpowered beings. He even possesses a legion of Iron Soldiers and a T-Fortress on the far side of the moon. Such power is simply beyond the reach of an ordinary person.
In other words, in Fury's eyes, these three individuals cannot represent ordinary people. They can only represent Earth's magicians, superpowers, and exceptional individuals—not ordinary people!
To Sebastian himself, and he is certain that this is also ridiculous to Tony and Reed, they have no disregard for the ordinary people of Earth, but rather a desire to protect them as much as possible.
However, as the old saying goes, "The heart is hidden in the belly." No one can truly understand another person's thoughts, not even between parents and children, let alone the three of them and Fury.
Sebastian, having figured this out, knew Fury's intentions, but he also had no way to deal with it. He was not going to change his plan. The Illuminati would continue, and even continue to recruit members. As for what others thought, it had nothing to do with Sebastian.
