Chapter 288: The choice of melee mage

Only now did the little wizards suddenly realize why they had never seen the portraits of the Big Four in school.

However, this is somewhat disillusioning.

In addition, this kind of image-keeping magic was not perfect at that time, and the portraits of the Four Big Four were often messy and even collapsed into a mess of lines.

So except for the restless Gryffindor, the other three didn't know where they were hiding.

During many years of discussions, students of all generations have treated this matter as a mysterious event, and even spawned many conspiracy theories about the Big Four...

According to Alice's explanation to the children, when she was in school, she accidentally discovered Gryffindor wandering around after waking up, and thus revealed the secret.

Rhine on the side also listened very carefully, because this paragraph had disappeared from his memory.

"Rare!"

After solving this problem, Gryffindor's topic returned to Wednesday again.

"Too bad you're a Ravenclaw."

Others thought this was Gryffindor's simple regret that Wednesday did not belong to his house, but Rhine knew what he really meant.

Gryffindor's sword had always been lying in the school, and even Voldemort had no chance to find it and contaminate it.

But the sword has been gathering dust for a long time, and no one can make good use of its power. This is really depressing for Gryffindor, whose reputation for using swords is even greater than that of magic.

A real little lion can indeed pull it out...

But what's the use?

"Wednesday?"

Rhine found the topic insertion point and asked the little girl with a smile.

"Did your father say that this kind of swordsmanship cannot be taught to outsiders?"

Wednesday was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"The swordsmanship of the Adams family actually comes from Muggle society. There is no special secret to keep."

"It's just that in the process of spreading, the ancestors of the Adams family have made improvements to suit the magic."

Of course Rhine is very happy, this is the result he wants.

"Then are you willing to teach this kind of swordsmanship to your friends?"

The inquiry was just a process, and there was no way Wednesday could veto Rhine's proposal. He could only scan the crowd with a solemn expression.

"I suspect... with the intelligence of some of them, learning swordsmanship will delay learning magic even more."

"Hahaha!"

Ron burst into laughter instantly, patting the dumbfounded Neville next to him, trying to comfort his friend.

"Don't be discouraged. I'll teach you secretly after I learn it."

"...Neville!"

Just when Neville almost fell into inferiority complex, Wednesday suddenly called his name and turned back to Rhine and nodded.

"Let's choose a few of them first, and the others can focus on magic for the time being."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The first learners named on Wednesday were Hermione, Harry, Neville and Hannah.

Hermione is studious and inquisitive, and although her talent is not as good as Lily's, it is only one step away.

Needless to say, Harry, although his descendants are generally weaker than their ancestors, he will be able to take on the role of DA in the future, and his talent in combat can be considered overwhelming among his peers.

Neville and Hannah, Rhine is even less surprised——

There is a Gryffindor Swordmaster and an Unstoppable Iron. They are not suitable for melee combat, and neither of them is suitable for melee combat.

"Luna is actually very talented, but...I don't have much confidence."

Wednesday defended a certain loser, indicating that there is one person here who is not happy.

Rhine accepted this explanation with deep conviction. Miss Luna was too erratic and was probably not a candidate for learning melee techniques in a strict manner.

As for the other losers, they all lowered their heads in shame, especially Draco and Pansy.

If the selectors had been anyone else, they might have believed that this judgment was based on their rejection of Slytherin.

But in Wednesday's eyes, there is only one standard for classifying people, which is which coffin they are suitable to be buried in.

Discrimination?

squeeze out?

nonexistent.

She has always firmly believed that when she meets someone she likes in the future, she must scare him to death!

Only Ron was speechless and choked up. Fortunately, Rhine added another companion for him who could not study together.

"Harry forget it."

Rhine suddenly rejected Harry, and was shocked by the little guy. He immediately looked at him with a puzzled and aggrieved expression.

"You have priorities, don't you?"

Rhine said to Harry with a smile.

Harry's mind instantly flashed back to the humiliating scene on the train that day when he was directly stimulated by the dementors to the point of fainting, as well as the shrill scream that appeared in his mind at that time.

Yup!

Harry realized that he had finally waited for this opportunity, so he brushed aside the haze of being excluded from swordsmanship studies and asked Rhine excitedly.

"Rhine, can you teach me the Patronus Charm?"

Rhine shook his head.

Harry was stunned and turned his expectant eyes to Alice.

He thinks that the reason why Rhine refused is probably because there is a more powerful and more leisurely magic master by his side now?

However, Alice spread her hands helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I...can't use the Patronus Charm."

Strictly speaking, the Patronus Charm is not entirely defined by the attributes of black and white wizards. The criteria for dividing the two are extremely vague.

But with the Patronus Charm, firm faith and ultimate happiness are essential.

Alice has neither of these.

The haze enveloped Harry's mind again, and he suspected that he had been excluded by Rhine.

This suspicion was correct. Rhine never intended to make great efforts to change Harry's path because he could not convince Dumbledore to change the "pig-raising plan."

But when it came to the Patronus Charm, Rhine's reason for rejection was not the same.

"My patron saint is too special to provide you with adequate guidance."

Although his predecessor had already mastered the Patronus Charm, the Great Sage of Rhine is definitely a mutant, and he himself cannot explain the principle of this thing...

"But I think Professor Lupine would be a very good teacher."

After hearing Rhine's explanation, Harry's somewhat gloomy eyes became active again.

He remembered that on the Hogwarts Express that day, Professor Lupine also gathered the Patronus, but because the Great Sage of the Rhine was too powerful, it lost its use.

"I will study hard!"

Harry patted his chest and assured Rhine.

When facing people who were considered relatives and friends, the savior was so easy to deceive that he instantly accepted Rhine's half-truths and half-false reasons.

He was even a little happy.

"Yup!"

"I can learn the Patronus Charm from you!"

"I believe Professor Luping will definitely be able to discover my talent. He is the one with the vision!"

Ron was even happier, and gave Wednesday a vicious look when he spoke.

Then, he encountered the scorching collective gazes of all the girls present, and finally he could only shrink his neck and hide behind Harry.

"Okay~Okay!"

The Gryffindor portrait, witnessing all this, spoke happily.

"I was very optimistic about you from the beginning, and you really didn't disappoint me!"

Rhine is also happy, this is a compliment from Godric Gryffindor!

However, the Gryffindor boss glared at him.

"I'm talking about Alice, you idiot who only remembered me when you saw me."

"..."

In the corner of the classroom, there were two miserable people who were so depressed that they drew circles.

One is Ron.

One is Rhine.

But anyway, the idea of ​​cooperative combat in the Rhine Plan, and the plan to cultivate more close combat mages like Gomes...

it has started.
