Chapter 162 163. Professor Victor of Arithmetic Divination
During one class, Scott inadvertently met Snape's eyes several times.
He had to run Occlumency all the time to guard against Snape's prying eyes.
After the Potions class was over, Scott walked out of the classroom and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The next section was elective class time. After saying goodbye to Milton, Scott came to the arithmetic and divination classroom alone.
Arithmetic divination refers to a kind of divination that uses numbers to explain clearly a person's character and destiny, or to predict the future.
Another name for it is "mathematics".
This kind of prediction of the future does not require special talents like the divination taught by Professor Trelawney.
In divination classes, students often interpret fuzzy images by looking at crystal balls, tea leaves, palmistry, etc., or infer the inner meaning of things from random graphics or random words.
Arithmetic divination is just the opposite. It is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations.
Mathematics, this is an area Scott is familiar with and good at.
However, arithmetic divination is somewhat similar to big data deduction, and it is impossible to make some magical predictions like divination professor Trelawney.
However, after today's arithmetic and divination class ended, Scott seemed to have gained something.
He felt as if he had underestimated the potential of the class.
After class, he couldn't help but walk up to Professor Victor who was in charge of the arithmetic and divination class.
"Professor Victor." He asked politely, "I wonder if you have time to talk to me about arithmetic divination."
"Mr. Trollope?"
Professor Victor looked at Scott in surprise.
He was a bald, middle-aged wizard, tall and thin as a bamboo pole.
His face was covered with glasses, the lenses of which were so thick that Scott could barely see his eyes.
"Oh, let's talk about arithmetic divination."
Professor Victor nodded clumsily and said dully.
"Of course, it's rare for a student to be really interested in this course."
With that said, he turned around and left the classroom.
Scott looked at his back in confusion, "Professor Victor?"
"Ok?"
Professor Victor stopped in his tracks and turned around in surprise.
"Why didn't you follow?" He asked strangely.
"Yes."
Scott quickly followed.
He could see that Professor Victor was really dull and not good at speaking.
Along the way, Victor walked straight to his office without saying a word.
He didn't say hello to Scott, but pushed the door and walked in.
Scott quickly followed into his office.
The first impression this office gives is one of chaos.
The entire office was littered with mountains of parchment.
Scott followed behind Professor Victor, walking through the piles of papers cautiously.
It was as if they were walking through a maze, and after a while they finally arrived at Professor Victor's desk.
Professor Victor put down the book in his hand, looked around for a while, and scratched his hair.
"Would you like something to drink?" He asked uncomfortably, "Oh, sorry, I don't have many guests here, and besides, I don't know where my teapot went."
"Don't bother, Professor Victor."
Scott quickly said politely.
"OK then."
The upright Professor Victor nodded immediately, and sat down behind the desk.
Then, he took out his wand and tapped it on the table.
clap la la...
In an instant, countless parchments automatically floated up and shuttled continuously in the air.
After a while, a portion of parchment flew near the desk, and they were connected end to end to form a long scroll.
The rest of the parchment fell from the sky and returned to the pile of paper.
At the same time, the quill in the ink bottle on the desk swayed and flew up to write a series of numbers in the blank space of the long scroll.
Professor Victor looked at the long scroll and breathed a sigh of relief, and his demeanor became a little more relaxed.
"Oh."
When he saw Scott, he was taken aback suddenly, as if he had forgotten about Scott just now.
"Sorry." He said somewhat unnaturally, "I was calculating a difficult problem before class, and I couldn't settle down until I got the answer."
"Of course, it doesn't matter."
Scott smiled.
Professor Victor nodded, "You want to talk to me? What exactly are you talking about? Of course, Mr. Trollope, I remember that you have always performed very well in arithmetic and divination classes."
Scott could see that talking to someone like Professor Victor had to be direct.
"After class today, I suddenly gained some new insights into the subject of arithmetic and divination."
He said it directly.
"I originally thought that arithmetic divination focused on logic, and there was no way to make predictions like divination. After all, divination requires special talents..."
"Do not."
Professor Victor interrupted him a little excitedly.
"Arithmetic divination is a subject that is not inferior to divination!" He emphasized, "Of course, my class actually requires talent!"
"of course."
Scott nodded quickly.
"Just today, I suddenly had a different idea about arithmetic divination."
"really?"
Professor Victor's tone was a little surprised.
"Can you tell me, Mr. Trollope, what you learned today?"
"Of course, that's why I want to talk to you."
Scott organized the language.
"I thought maybe I'd been wrong about the subject. It wasn't Muggle numeracy, although what we learned in class was kind of like that."
He said with some uncertainty.
"That shouldn't be real arithmetic divination, or just some superficiality, because arithmetic divination is also a kind of magic."
"Congratulations on noticing this, Mr. Trollope!"
Professor Victor stood up excitedly.
He said happily: "I have been teaching this class at Hogwarts for more than ten years, but the little wizards have not learned the true essence of this class. I want to say that it is all because of the magic of arithmetic and divination." It's really too profound!"
He lowered his head again, looking at Scott through the thick glasses lenses, "Is there anything else in your mind? Mr. Trollope!"
"If I'm not wrong..."
Scott said.
"Divination and arithmetic divination should have their own advantages. Divination does not require known conditions, as long as a person with third eye can see some possibilities in the future by interpreting some vague images."
Professor Victor nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Scott said: "Ariximetry requires some known conditions, and we can use this magic to infer the past and the more recent future."
"Your statement is not wrong!" Professor Victor pushed his glasses excitedly.
Scott went on to voice his feelings.
"Although arithmetic divination requires known conditions, and it is difficult to predict the too distant future, it should have advantages that divination does not have."
At this moment, he blurted out as if blessed to his heart.
"The results of arithmetic divination will be more accurate and detailed than divination."
