#35 - Chapter 35 Come to the Professor's Bowl - Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Fred and George were aghast, exclaiming, "Professor, you can't do that!"

"Professor, we were having such a pleasant chat, why are you taking points from us!"

Looking at the twins' faces full of resentment, Sebastian felt a sense of delight.

Hehe, this is the feeling.

The first time using the power to deduct points.

Awesome!!!

He smiled and said, "This is the first time I've caught you, so I'll only deduct one point from each of you. As a warning!"

"After all, deducting points isn't the goal; what the professor hopes to see is that you won't be wandering around at night anymore."

"You're at the age where your bodies are growing, and not getting enough sleep can stunt your growth."

"If I catch you again next time, I'll deduct two points from each of you. The third time I catch you, I'll deduct four points from each of you, and so on, understand?"

Sensing the firmness in the professor's tone, Fred and George didn't dare to argue anymore, only patting their chests to indicate that they would definitely not wander around at night again.

Seeing the two little guys agree so readily, Sebastian felt a bit amused.

If it were the first time dealing with them, he might have been touched by their sincere attitude.

Unfortunately, he understood these two people's personalities thoroughly.

If these two mischievous little fellows could manage not to wander around at night, the sun would be rising in the west.

They were probably thinking that since he often didn't live at the school, they would still have plenty of opportunities to wander around at night in the future.

Sebastian smiled slightly, not exposing their little thoughts, since he didn't have any evidence at the moment.

If he showed a lack of trust, these two twins would definitely shout about being wronged loud enough to shake the heavens.

So, he had an idea, casually taking out 100 Galleons and handing them to George.

"Oh right, this is the project's starting capital; you can take it first."

Fred and George exchanged incredulous glances.

The project even has starting capital????

100 Galleons!!!

Merlin!

Just like that, he gave it to them?

Wasn't this a dream!

George quickly stood up and said, "Professor, this is too much; we can't accept it."

Fred opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped, ultimately saying nothing.

Seeing the two's performance, Sebastian was a bit surprised, but thinking about their behavior in the movies, he could still understand their thoughts.

Being able to resist the temptation of money, truly two good children.

The Weasley family's family education is really good; the children's values are all very upright.

He smiled with satisfaction, explaining to the twins, "Take it; these Galleons aren't being given to you, but are the project's starting capital."

"You should know that in Swan Alchemy, every time a new project is established, there will be financial allocations after a professional project assessment."

"Now I'm inviting you to join a new alchemy project, so naturally, there's no reason to have you pay out of your own pockets."

"Moreover," looking at Fred and George's eyes shining, Sebastian said generously, "Only 100 Galleons, where's the much?"

"Follow the professor, Galleons aren't a problem! This is just the first phase of funding; I'm giving you a month to spend it all, and there will be new funding next month."

"However!" Sebastian's tone changed, instructing seriously.

"You must learn to keep accounts; every Galleon must be recorded clearly, understand?"

Merlin's beard!

Professor Swan is indeed generous, it's just a pity that the professor doesn't seem to lack leg pendants. Since that's the case, we must work hard with you!

Fred and George were extremely happy, immediately patting their chests loudly.

"Don't worry, Professor; we'll definitely record every Knut."

"Professor, you can completely trust us!"

Sebastian continued to instruct, "You can come directly to me if you encounter any questions that can't be resolved."

"Then, report the project's progress to me every month, remember to bring the ledger."

"Don't think about saving me money; spend what you need to spend. If you spend all these Galleons ahead of schedule, bring the ledger to me."

"Oh right!"

"The knowledge involved in the Marauder's Map is still too difficult for you at the moment; next, I'll give you a list of books."

Saying that, Sebastian picked up the quill on the table and wrote quickly.

Before long, he had prepared a book list and handed it to the twins.

Taking the list written by the professor, Fred and George put their heads together.

"Detailed Explanation of Alchemy"

"How to Start Alchemy"

"Analysis of Alchemical Materials"

"The Combination of Charms and Alchemy"

......

...

Heavens!

So many books!

Alchemy is indeed profound.

Looking at the twins carefully reading the list, Sebastian felt very happy.

This pair of twins is clever and has high magical talent, learning things especially quickly.

However, these two little guys have too much energy; all day long, they're either being mischievous or on the way to being mischievous.

Professor McGonagall both loves and hates them, complaining to Sebastian more than once that it would be great if these two little guys could put their minds on studying.

Now that the two have a lot of knowledge to learn, they will definitely calm down. In that case, Professor McGonagall shouldn't have such a headache, right?

Sebastian remembered very clearly that in the original story, this pair of twins started making all kinds of funny gadgets, which were all things they did after they were in higher grades.

Now, he had put them on the path of alchemy so early; he really didn't know what kind of surprise these two little devils would bring to the magical world?!

He knocked on the table, attracting the twins' attention.

"Some of the books are in the school library; you can borrow them yourself. If you need the professor's signature, you can come directly to me."

"If you find borrowing troublesome, or the library doesn't have the books, you can order them from Flourish and Blotts using an owl. Just remember to keep good records."

"Our project has a year's time, so I won't rush you, and you don't need to be in a hurry either."

"I only need you to learn every new piece of knowledge step by step, steadily and surely."

Saying that, he changed the subject: "Do you know Zonko's Joke Shop?"

Zonko's Joke Shop?

Which little wizard doesn't know that!

What is the professor asking this for?

Fred immediately said, "Yes, we even went to buy dungbombs last Sunday."

Hearing Fred's words, George was a bit anxious, quickly nudging Fred's body with his elbow.

You idiot!

Could that be said?!

We're only second-year little wizards.

We can't go to Hogsmeade yet.

Isn't this admitting it without being forced to!

Crap!

The professor is going to deduct points again.

He might even notify Professor McGonagall.

Sebastian pretended not to see the two's little actions, continuing to say to the two: "Have you noticed how long it's been since Zonko's Joke Shop released a new product?"

The twins shook their heads.

"It's been many years; the current products are basically the same as when I was in school."

"Swan Alchemy once analyzed Zonko's products; his alchemy techniques have always been very similar, without any major innovations."

"So, don't be in a hurry. Take advantage of the present to learn more alchemy knowledge, instead of just learning knowledge specifically for the Marauder's Map, understand?"

Hearing the professor's words, Fred and George seemed thoughtful.

Abandoning utilitarianism, laying a good foundation?

Before the two could express anything, they heard Sebastian's slightly lighthearted words.

"Oh right, in order to prevent me from receiving a Howler from your mother someday in the future."

"You must complete all your homework diligently, and your grades cannot fall behind."

"I will often ask the professors of each subject about your situation."

"Study hard; you wouldn't want the professor to cancel this project, would you?"

Fred and George immediately showed bitter faces.

They were still thinking of slightly abandoning some subjects; now, they were being watched by the professor.

Study hard, work hard to improve efficiency.

It was such a pity that our ambitious Hogwarts exploration plan, which had only just started for a year, was forced to be shelved.

There's no way; the professor is giving too much!!!
