#282 - Cheating
On such a morning, the sixth and seventh graders could finish all the exams ahead of schedule, after all, there were fewer of them, and their grades were generally good.
After they finished the exams early, they could help as examiners for the practical exams of the lower grades in the afternoon. Since there were many subjects, they couldn't all be squeezed into the common room for the exams, so Anduin borrowed some empty classrooms from several professors.
In the afternoon, these older wizards would take them to the corresponding test centers to complete the practical tests, just like a physical examination in his previous life. After finishing one subject, they would go to the next classroom to take the next one. Anduin even borrowed the potions classroom and exam materials from Snape.
Snape had promised Anduin before that he would fully cooperate with him, so he agreed very readily.
After all, he had seen the changes in the academy. He couldn't understand the current Slytherin at all. Now he didn't even dare to enter the common room. As soon as he appeared in the dungeon stone hall, everyone would stand at attention and greet him, and the way they looked at people was creepy.
Sometimes he wondered if Anduin had gone too far, but since he had promised not to interfere, he would not interfere at all.
This also led to Snape's gaze towards Anduin becoming more and more strange recently, which made Anduin feel very uncomfortable.
The end of the first month of this school year finally arrived, and the entire Slytherin was preparing according to Anduin's arrangements.
All the little wizards in the academy were nervously preparing for the exam at this time. They knew that the grade and individual with the highest comprehensive score would receive the prefect's reward.
The monthly exam results accounted for a considerable proportion of the comprehensive score, so whether it was the grade leader or the individual, they were all working hard to prepare for a full effort.
On the Saturday of the last week, all the little wizards got up at 7 o'clock and dressed neatly, then had breakfast together in the hall, and gathered in the common room before 7:30.
Although the Snake Academy often acted collectively, such a big show so early in the morning even alarmed many wizards and professors.
Inside the Slytherin dungeon stone hall, all the little wizards were solemnly divided into three large groups, sitting in different areas, and then under Anduin's announcement, the monthly exam officially began.
This monthly exam was very different from the mock exam at the beginning of the school year, and its significance was also different. From the very beginning, the atmosphere in the dungeon was rendered quite solemn. There was no sound in the entire stone hall except for the sound of the pen tip scratching across the parchment.
The older students had relatively less pressure, after all, their grades were very good, and they would not join in this competition. Anduin also gave them corresponding benefits and permissions. These exams were actually more to help them review in preparation for the final exam.
Soon, after nearly an hour, some of the older students completed the exam. These were the people who had only passed two courses.
After they handed in their papers, Anduin took the first few people who had finished the exam out of the common room and came to the empty classroom prepared in advance to conduct the spellcasting exam.
Other older students who finished the exam one after another would also rush over after handing in their papers, so that by staggering the time, all the older students could finish the exam in one morning.
But after they left, weren't the little wizards in the common room afraid that someone would cheat?
It depended on their self-control, and this was also a small test left by Anduin. The entire common room was under Hogwarts' surveillance without any blind spots. If anyone really dared to make a small move, Anduin would be very happy, he was worried that he had no chance to rectify the atmosphere.
The morning monthly exam was steadily advancing at this pace, and the older students' exams were also about to be completed on time under Anduin's prediction.
Just as he was preparing to evaluate the last few sixth-grade wizards and preparing to finish, he suddenly froze, as if he had been disturbed by something.
"Velen, the last three people's Transfiguration test will be completed by you, just according to the previous standards. I have something to go out for a while. After the exam, you can go directly to the common room." Anduin narrowed his eyes and turned his head to Velen and said.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Velen didn't know what was wrong with Anduin, but he habitually agreed.
After Anduin walked out of the classroom, he immediately cast a disillusionment charm on himself, and then quietly sneaked back to the Slytherin common room.
The reason why he had this reaction was because he received a message from Hogwarts that after he left, someone had actually tried to cheat.
And according to the information sent by Hogwarts, they had cheated in more than one subject, which was simply courting death.
After returning to the common room, Anduin quickly found the little wizard who was cheating according to Hogwarts' prompt.
That was Hader Chris, a third-year student. His usual academic performance was just average, and he had violated discipline many times before. He was a relatively slippery little wizard.
And his cheating method was quite simple and unpretentious. He actually carried crib notes directly, but they were hidden quite secretly, it was a piece of parchment that looked very ordinary.
When he encountered a place he didn't know during the exam, he would secretly input magic power into the parchment, and then the corresponding answer would appear on the parchment. It seemed to be some kind of magical item. If he hadn't copied it too frequently, Hogwarts might not have been able to catch him.
Anduin didn't expose him on the spot, just watched the other party cheat coldly, and then left indifferently.
After that, during the afternoon exam, Anduin showed no waves, as if he hadn't noticed it at all. He just carried out the spellcasting exam for the middle and lower grades according to the original plan, until all the exams for this day were over.
The little wizard Hader seemed to think that his cheating was seamless, and he was still chatting and farting with his classmates quite calmly.
The next day, the academy's monthly meeting was arranged in the afternoon, and the morning time was left for the subject representatives to grade the papers. Until before noon, Anduin also learned the final exam results.
In the afternoon, all the little wizards sat upright and concentrated in the stone hall, waiting for the monthly meeting to be held.
When the time came, Anduin appeared on the high platform of the common room on time, looking at everyone with a calm face, and said with a slight smile:
"The September monthly meeting is now officially started. The meeting agenda has the following items:
1. Announce the exam results and grade rankings.
2. Announce the grade with the highest comprehensive score this month, as well as the top three comprehensive scores, and redeem the rewards.
3. Report on those who violated discipline this week and carry out punishment."
Hearing Anduin finally say what they were most looking forward to, the little wizards opened their eyes wide and stared intently at the high platform.
