Chapter 38 What Pennies Can Do
The group arrived at the school gate in a mighty procession, and this time there was a three-decker Knight bus parked outside.
"Wow! A three-story Knight Rider bus!"
"It's different from last time!"
"So cool!"
The young wizards who had just joined the Muggle Studies class were extremely excited. They had heard about the Knight Bus a long time ago, and today they saw it and it really lived up to its reputation.
Students like Charlie who had already had experience riding on a bus tried hard to suppress their excitement and act like they had seen the world.
What's so exciting?
Children just have no knowledge.
Isn't it just the Knight Bus?
They moved silently and arrived at the door of the Knight Bus.
Charlie and Marcus were at the front, refusing to give in. They looked at each other and could see the fighting intent in each other's eyes.
snort!
I have secured the front seat on the second (third) floor!
"Get in the car first! Don't block the door!" Sebastian looked at the two people squeezing together and shouted, "Charlie and Marcus, you two stand aside."
"Let the younger students go first."
Sebastian waited until all the students had fastened their seat belts before arranging for the driver to set off.
He ignored the noisy little wizards, just found a seat and sat down, then took out the students' test papers and started looking at them.
Yo!
Marcus has made great progress!
The descriptions of muggle items are all very accurate.
I just don't know much about the basic situation of the Muggle world.
It's obvious that he hasn't read the textbook.
But it doesn’t matter, just learn slowly.
......
After getting off the Knight Bus, Sebastian brought the students to the previous warehouse again.
"Today's class is divided into two parts. In the first half of the class, the new third-year students will learn how to use Muggle supplies."
"When learning, remember to keep three things in mind: what is the item called, what function it has, and how to use it!"
“Students who have already been here can review what they have learned before, or go to other grade areas to explore new items.”
"As for the second half of the course," Sebastian raised his lips slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and kept the topic secret. "We will explore some interesting things together. I guarantee that everyone will like it."
"Disband! Call me anytime if you have any questions."
The young wizards immediately scattered, trying to figure out what the professor meant.
Want something fun?!
Let everyone like it!
Is there going to be a game competition later?
That’s great!
Come on, come on, whoever you are, let’s form a team together.
Soon, the first half of the class ended, and the little wizards gathered together again and were taken to the knight bus by Sebastian.
The little wizards were immediately confused.
Isn't there still game time?
Why are you on the Knight Bus again?
The gaming group headed by Marcus could no longer sit still and started asking, "Professor, aren't we going to play games today?"
"Yeah, didn't they say there was a game competition?"
"We've all formed a team! We'll definitely take first place!"
"Game competition?" Sebastian laughed softly, "I never said that. But as long as you perform well in this class, we can arrange it later."
"Don't be disappointed. What follows is definitely much more interesting than the game."
"Let's learn how to shop in the Muggle world."
While he was explaining the basics of Muggle currency to everyone, the Knight Bus arrived in front of a large supermarket.
After the car stopped, he took out his wallet and waved it at the little wizards: "Come on, it's time to give out money, Muggle coins, 25 pence each."
When they heard that they were going to give out money, the little ones became full of energy and cheered as if they had been injected with chicken blood or taken stimulants.
Send money?
Going shopping?
so cool!
I want a Coke.
I want to do a lot of shopping!
As soon as they got the money, the pure-blood little wizards cheered and rushed into the supermarket. However, their excitement did not last long as they became depressed.
what!
You can't buy much with 25 pence.
A can of Coke costs 35p, which is only enough to buy some sweets.
No wonder those Muggles and half-blood wizards are not in a hurry. It turns out that they have long been aware of the purchasing power of 25 pence.
At this time, Sebastian's voice rang in the ears of every little wizard: "Did you find that the money is not enough?"
Hearing the professor's teasing words, the young wizards all showed extremely resentful expressions. While silently complaining about the professor who liked to play tricks on people, they began to look around, eagerly looking for Sebastian.
Unfortunately, Sebastian was still in the car at this time, and he was only speaking to them remotely through the power of magic, so their idea of condemning the professor with their eyes came to nothing.
"Today's class theme is cooperation and sharing, so you need to form different teams to buy things that you all want!"
"Whether it's Coke, cookies, or even Muggle toys, as long as the team members can reach an agreement, they can all be purchased."
"It's just that the professor has a small request."
"Each team must consist of at least four people, and the team members must come from four different colleges." Sebastian's voice was sonorous and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
"If I find any team that dares not to follow the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless and taking back all their money."
Sebastian was really worried about these little wizards, and his little abacus was jingling.
The Muggle Studies class is not just about learning knowledge about the Muggle world, but also about helping the little ones to eliminate barriers.
However, given the students' situation, if there are no restrictions, the young wizards from each academy will definitely only play with people from their own academy.
By then, the Slytherin students, who are mostly pure-bloods, will be at a loss, as most of them have no experience in shopping in the Muggle world.
Furthermore, eating, drinking and having fun are the best ways for children to break down barriers and enhance friendship.
Don’t think that these little guys are shy when they form a team. I guarantee that they will be happier than each other after they eat the delicious food.
Besides, if those pure-blood little wizards want to know what is delicious, how can they do without the help of Muggle little wizards and half-blood little wizards?
It’s also good to feel the charm of cooperation in advance.
Especially these little Slytherin guys.
Don't look down on this and that every day.
Unless you go back directly to inherit the family property after graduation, you must learn to cooperate with others when you get a job.
Cooperation is not that simple. If the team has too few people, the combined money will be too little, and in the end we won’t be able to buy much.
If there are more members in the team, more things can be bought, but the difficulty of cooperation increases.
Let’s see how these little guys choose. There is a lot to learn in today’s class!
After hearing the professor's request, the little ones looked at each other, wondering in their hearts how to respond to this request.
After all, it is not easy to select suitable players from various colleges and form a team with good tacit understanding. But faced with such strict conditions, everyone can only bite the bullet and try.
Charlie was walking around the shelves in the supermarket. After hearing what the professor said, he immediately called Wood next to him and walked towards Marcus from Slytherin.
"Hey! Marcus! Did you hear what the professor said? Do you want to team up?"
Marcus was mentally complaining about the professor being nosy.
Hey!
We have to work with Gryffindor again.
Not happy!
Professor, come on, can’t I just buy some candy myself?
But Charlie and Wood.
After all, we are on the same school team and we can cooperate.
Besides, there are fewer students in the senior grades, and it would be terrible if we couldn’t find the team in the end!
At that time, everyone else will be eating and drinking, but you can't buy anything. That will be more painful than killing yourself.
He thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed: "No problem, then I'll find a Hufflepuff classmate, and you guys can find a Ravenclaw!"
