Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 329 Graduation Assessment Details! Item 3: New Supplementary Rule!

"It's still an excellent-level graduation medal, but this medal will have special lace and the words 'outstanding combat strength' will be engraved on it."

Defeating Old Fu No. 1 at 50% or 70% of his combat strength will result in a graduation medal with a special decorative border.

Dudley patiently explained, "In addition, regardless of the level of the graduation medal, it is a magical item with the ability to cast spells. The better the graduation exam results, the more powerful the corresponding graduation medal will be."

Moreover, the magical power unleashed by the Excellent Graduation Medal is far greater than that of the medals I previously awarded in class.

Hearing Dali say that, many students in the audience had their eyes light up.

Before his first class, Dudley appointed many student leaders and awarded them special medals.

In the subsequent teaching process, Dali also awarded similar medals to several outstanding students.

Over the past six months, these specially made medals have occasionally been triggered, releasing spells of attack or defense, the power of which has truly made everyone envious.

Therefore, knowing the power of the graduation medal, many students were motivated.

"Starting tomorrow, the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor, to the left of my classroom, will be officially designated as the room for graduation assessment."

The interior has been expanded by me and Headmaster Dumbledore, with powerful protective magic added and some battle terrain set up.

The Old Fu No. 1 combat puppet will be moved into it tonight.

Starting this academic year, the three days following the end-of-term dinner will be designated as the graduation assessment period.

Seventh-year students must first pass the four ideological tests of the Sorting Hat, and then, under the supervision of professors, enter a special room to choose the level of assessment and take the graduation exam.

During these three days, all seventh-grade students will complete one round of assessments, and those who fail can take the assessment again.

Those who fail the assessment by the end of the three-day period will be temporarily unable to graduate.

The week following the three-day assessment period is a review period for previous graduates who have not yet graduated. During this time, they can retake the graduation assessment, following the same rules as above.

Amid the excitement of some students, Dali further explained the details of the graduation assessment.

After speaking, he also reminded the seventh-grade students in the auditorium:

"Today is the end-of-term dinner, so the graduation assessment period for this academic year will begin tomorrow. After breakfast tomorrow, the seventh-grade students can go to take the assessment."

Since this academic year is the first year of the new graduation regulations, there are no previous graduates who have not yet graduated. Therefore, there is no review period after the graduation assessment period ends.

Students in grades one through six may leave school tomorrow, while seventh-grade students will be allowed to leave only after completing their graduation exams.

The students in the auditorium intentionally or unintentionally glanced past the motionless Old Fu No. 1 and listened quietly to Dali's detailed arrangements.

After Dudley finished speaking, many observant students noticed that Dudley had mentioned "unable to graduate" many times, but had never said what arrangements would be made for students who could not graduate.

It also didn't say how to ensure that students who fail the graduation exam, especially those whose thinking is not up to par, cannot escape the control of Hogwarts.

What if some students with questionable morals decide to forgo their graduation medals, leave the school, and never return to Hogwarts?

Dali looked at the diverse expressions of the students below the stage and smiled slightly.

He certainly wouldn't ignore this crucial question, but the crucial question would have to be answered last.

Before that, he also had to announce the final new graduation rule.

"Please be patient, everyone. We haven't finished explaining the new graduation regulations yet."

Dudley spoke again, and his words put immense pressure on all the Hogwarts students, making the expressions of the seventh-year students even more somber.

Are there any new rules?

Isn't fighting 'Voldemort' enough?

Graduating these days is just too difficult!

"Don't worry! There's only one new rule left, and it's not mandatory, it's an optional one."

Dudley smiled and offered a reassuring remark, then got straight to the point, "The third new graduation rule: During your studies, if you demonstrate outstanding performance such as inventing new spells, creating new potions, or developing innovative magical knowledge and techniques..."

You can add an extra border to the graduation badge and inscribe the words 'Innovation Genius' on it. The magical effect of the graduation badge will also be increased by 30% on the original basis.

Here, I want to remind everyone that although this new rule is not mandatory, it is one of the best ways to demonstrate your magical literacy.

Outstanding graduates who receive the title of 'Innovation Genius' will have the rare opportunity to remain at Hogwarts without taking an entrance exam, so everyone should take this seriously.

After Dudley finished explaining this last new graduation rule, many students looked on with anticipation, but judging from their expressions, they clearly didn't have much confidence in the matter of inheriting the innovative magic.

Geniuses are few and far between, and lucky geniuses are even rarer.

This is why Dali did not make this new rule a requirement for graduates.

Forcing every graduate to produce something new and to complete a graduation project is asking the impossible.

If this continues, not only will a large number of students be unable to graduate, but it will also cause young wizards to see magical innovation as a burden and develop a sense of resistance.

This new rule should not be rendered meaningless, or its requirements should be lowered repeatedly, falling into mere formalism and perfunctory compliance.

However, it's worth mentioning that the Gryffindor students at the long table were very happy after hearing about the new rule, especially Harry, Ron, and Seamus.

Harry pioneered the Stabilizing Charm and the Power-Boosting Charm, Ron deeply developed the Wizard Chess gang-up strategy, and Seamus deeply developed a variety of new uses for the Explosion Charm.

These all meet the criteria for receiving the title of 'innovation genius', so they are naturally happy.

Dali stood on the faculty and staff seats, observing the reactions of the students below the stage.

The SSS-level regret of Hogwarts' general consciousness, the two-stage mission, he was advancing simultaneously.

Among them, the four colleges have worked together to guide students to form a sound and unified concept, and he has achieved great results.

He has achieved some success in inheriting traditions and innovating, raising the bar for Hogwarts students' abilities and knowledge, and guiding them to innovate, but further efforts are still needed.

He is currently not satisfied with the strength of the Hogwarts students, let alone receiving the system's top reward.

Fortunately, there is still a long future ahead. Once he obtains the concept version of the Restoration Spell and resurrects everyone who needs to be resurrected, he will have plenty of time to handle this matter.

Even if it's impossible to make every young wizard a pioneering force in magic, at least it can raise their abilities to above the minimum acceptable level he defines.

The three new graduation rules that Dudley and Dumbledore discussed were, in addition to being intended to eliminate the breeding ground for dark wizards, also to prevent mediocre seventh-year students from graduating and to allow them to study at Hogwarts for a few more years to improve their combat abilities.

"Alright, the three new graduation regulations have been announced. Now that we've covered the good news, it's time to talk about the less pleasant things."

Dudley silently gathered his thoughts and continued, "The less pleasant thing is the arrangement for those who are temporarily unable to graduate."
