#759 - Final exam (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

As far as Anduin knew, due to the importance placed on the final exam of the first Tactical Training course, the examiner assigned by the Administration this time would be Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones, herself.

Therefore, he had to coordinate with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in advance regarding the final exam. In addition, due to the wilderness survival assessment, the students would be very scattered. At that time, a large number of recording devices would have to be deployed to track and record the entire process, which was not an easy task.

However, during the negotiation, Amelia seemed very concerned about this final exam, and even promised Anduin that she would send some Aurors to help.

But this seemed a bit abnormal to Anduin. He guessed that the reason why Amelia was so attentive was probably related to the larger number of job vacancies in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement after the establishment of the Magic Net system. They urgently needed a large influx of fresh blood.

Anyway, according to what Anduin knew, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was currently extremely busy. Since the release of the Magic Net, they had a pile of alarm messages to deal with every day.

After Voldemort's death, the Ministry of Magic attached great importance to law and order, after all, they were also afraid that those lurking Death Eaters would cause trouble. Such things were common after the last Wizarding War, and there were always some die-hard fans who wanted to take the opportunity to cause chaos to vent their anger.

Therefore, once the Ministry of Magic received an alert, the Aurors would be dispatched immediately.

The problem was that they did not train and recruit operators in advance when the dispatch center was established, so many Aurors not only undertook the task of performing field missions, but also had to serve as operators.

Now the Aurors in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement basically worked overtime every day. Although the Ministry of Magic gave a lot of overtime pay, no one could withstand such high pressure.

At this critical moment, Amelia actually told Anduin that she could support a group of Aurors. Anyone would feel that this news was particularly abnormal.

You know, the final exam would last for several days. With so many people off duty, wouldn't the remaining Aurors in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement be exhausted?

Anduin estimated that perhaps after the final exam was over, those students who met the standards, as well as some students who did not pass but performed well, would immediately receive an offer from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and then be pulled to the dispatch center as operators in the name of internship.

It was even possible for individual outstanding students to directly participate in first-line missions after graduation. After all, no law enforcement agency dislikes warriors who have received systematic professional training in advance.

In view of this, Anduin also paid great attention to this final exam. A week before the final exam began, he frequently led the Aurors deep into the Forbidden Forest to set up the venue.

It was impossible for so many people from the Ministry of Magic entering and leaving Hogwarts not to attract the attention of the student wizards.

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic did not deliberately keep the final exam, or internal recruitment, secret, so many little wizards with connections already knew that this year's final exam might be very important, and perhaps the exam results would directly affect their future.

Similar internal news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts, which made the 7th grade students who had taken the Tactical Training course extremely nervous.

Although they were not clear about the exam process, they had already started reviewing early and late, after all, this was related to their future.

So, no matter what era, internal competition is the biggest driving force for human self-improvement.

Of course, not everyone was so happy at this time. First of all, the more depressed ones were those 7th grade students who did not take the Tactical Training course at the beginning of the school year.

They really didn't expect that the Ministry of Magic would attach so much importance to this course, and now they regretted it so much that their intestines were almost green.

On the other hand, some professors of other subjects at Hogwarts were also dissatisfied with Anduin's high-profile arrangement of the final exam. The students spent all their time on the Tactical Training course, so what about other subjects?

Of course, these people were only a minority after all. The most intense of them was Snape.

At the same time, the commotion caused by the final exam also alarmed the little wizards of other grades. This was the first time they saw clearly the outside world's emphasis on Tactical Training.

This made many wizards who were somewhat disgusted with Tactical Training produce different emotions, especially those 5th grade students who were about to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams.

They were actually struggling with whether to continue to take this course in the next school year. After all, taking Tactical Training was too tiring, and many people were secretly wondering whether to take this course or not.

But if learning this course well could lead to a job in the Ministry of Magic, especially the highest-ranking Department of Magical Law Enforcement, then the significance would be different.

So this final exam even drove the enthusiasm of a group of 5th grade students for review and training. These students could be seen in major shooting ranges and training grounds every day.

The 1st-4th grade little wizards were relatively relaxed. They didn't have so much pressure, but since the exam results would be recorded by the Silver Flash Charm, they had to start reviewing seriously.

A week of intense preparation time passed quickly, and the final exams at Hogwarts officially kicked off. Due to the particularity of the subject, the Tactical Training exam was also placed at the end of all subjects.

First to take the Tactical Training exam were the various battles of the 1st-5th grades, and for those students who were not in their own exam projects, as well as professors and Aurors, watching these battles was a good pastime.

Anyway, Amelia appeared in the examination room during the lower grade exams, and then watched the little wizards fighting each other with great interest.

"Director Bones, the 7th grade written exam room is in the main castle classroom. As the chief examiner, is it appropriate for you not to be there?"

Anduin couldn't help but complain about Amelia, the chief examiner who was not doing her job properly.

"Don't worry, Scrimgeour is watching there, and what's so good about a bunch of people answering questions with their heads down?"

Amelia stared intently at the little wizards in the various dueling arenas, either casting spells, or dodging sideways, or fighting hand-to-hand, and smiled indifferently.

When she saw a student use flexible steps to narrowly avoid a spell, and then counterattack successfully to knock down his opponent, she did not hesitate to applaud.

"Anduin, aren't these little wizards' skills a little too good? We didn't have so many combat skills when we were the same age as them, and even our physical fitness was far inferior. What exactly is your trick? Is the training method really so magical?"

Amelia's niece, Susan Bones, also attended Hogwarts, so even without this exam, she was very clear about how exaggerated these students' growth was.

"There is no so-called trick." Anduin smiled shyly, "It all comes from accumulation, continuous exercise, good nutrition and diet, more combat practice, plus the assistance of training methods can achieve the current effect. Of course, this sounds simple, but it is the most difficult thing to get students to persevere."

"I see, it seems that I have to supervise Susan well during the summer vacation, so that she doesn't fall behind."

Amelia nodded thoughtfully, and poor Susan suffered a lot during the summer vacation because of her aunt's decision.

After watching for a while, Amelia couldn't help but look at Anduin, "I didn't expect it to be quite interesting to watch these children chasing after each other. Have you ever thought about adding a combat-type program to your magic radio station?"

"Oh?" Anduin glanced at Amelia with interest, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

"Haha, I am also a human being after all, and I am also interested in entertainment projects. Now the radio station is either singing and dancing, or Quidditch, which is a bit boring for me. In fact, it's not just me who thinks so, the Aurors under me also prefer more violent sports."

In fact, Amelia also learned from some channels that Anduin seemed to be secretly planning something famous, so she also wanted to take this opportunity to explore the truth, and maybe she could seek some benefits for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"You probably want the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to get involved?" Anduin saw Amelia's idea at a glance.

However, Anduin didn't intend to hide it from her on this matter, "That's right, I do have similar plans, but it is still in the testing stage. I can assure you that after the project is officially launched, I will let your Department of Magical Law Enforcement play it first."

"Then it's settled!" Amelia nodded in satisfaction. The violent maniacs under her wished they could fight every day, and she was worried about it.

The two chatted casually, and during the period, Amelia always inquired about the new project from Anduin, but what awaited her was Anduin's evasiveness, obviously not wanting to reveal more details to her.

Soon, the exams of the 1st-5th grade students were gradually completed in such an atmosphere. After all, this was not a competition. Each little wizard only needed to conduct two battles to let the examiners understand their abilities.

However, among these little wizards, the children who joined the Tactical Club performed the best. The combat literacy they showed impressed even a veteran Auror like Amelia.

At the same time, the 7th grade students who participated in the Tactical Training final exam also ended the first two exam contents, and what awaited them would be the three-day wilderness survival test.

This wilderness survival exam was also fully publicized by Anduin in the Great Hall to all teachers and students of the school and the Ministry of Magic Aurors in the form of live broadcast.

On the one hand, it could allow the examiners to better understand the students' performance, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as giving other students a vivid wilderness survival lesson in advance.

For those students who had just finished their final exams, it was simply a relaxing carnival. From the beginning of this wilderness survival exam, hundreds of little wizards would gather in the Great Hall every day with their snacks and drinks, while watching those 7th grade students eat chaff and swallow vegetables in the Forbidden Forest, while enjoying the delicacies in their hands.

Even the Aurors and professors were infected by this atmosphere, turning this invigilation into a paid vacation. Every day, a group of Aurors and Hogwarts professors could be seen gathering in the Great Hall to freeload.

Amelia did not expect things to develop like this, but since things had reached this point, she could not change it.

Then, this Director actually integrated into it so smoothly!

Anduin felt powerless to complain when he saw this scene in the Great Hall every day. These people were too unruly, right? You are here to invigilate the final exam. Why are you all like people watching football in a bar during the World Cup?

But this is actually Anduin's fault. The main reason is that he arranged this exam too well. Not only did he enter the Forbidden Forest in advance to set up the examination room, but he also equipped a large number of automatic recording devices for remote monitoring.

This led to the Aurors having almost nothing to do. Not only did they not need to worry about the safety of the candidates, but they also did not need to follow them closely for close inspection.

It can only be said that the progress of technology will indeed breed laziness, and now even Amelia has fallen into it.

In this wilderness survival trial, these senior wizards performed fairly well, and they were all the students who had been active in the ruin dungeons for a long time.

So even in an unfamiliar environment, they adapted quite well. Of course, this was also related to the limited pressure. In the survival trial, Anduin did not invest any strange enemies like in the dungeon. They really only needed to survive, and any magical creatures they encountered occasionally only needed to be driven away.

The only more troublesome thing was to complete the tracking task. The tracking targets that Anduin assigned to these students were dark wizards who were simulating crimes and fleeing.

These targets would not only move by themselves, but their speed was also not slow. After catching up, they would also take the initiative to resist, so these candidates not only had to survive in the wild, but also had to seize the time to identify the direction of the target's escape and chase after them to defeat them.

During this period, the most likely trouble to plague the candidates was tracking. You must know that this trial, in addition to basic wilderness survival tools, was not equipped with any tactical equipment.

Therefore, they had to rely on their own abilities to find clues about the target.

The [Tracking Charm] invented by Anduin, which is easy to track, does not have a corresponding spell, and these wizards do not know it.

In other words, these candidates can only use ordinary tracking spells to search, so the actual operation is very difficult, and many people have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning, causing them to get farther and farther away from the target.

In fact, in addition to the [Tracking Charm], there are many spells invented by Anduin that cannot be taught to the students, because he developed them directly from the perspective of spells, and basically there are no spells. Unless he is proficient in spell studies, even if he teaches them to the students, they will not be able to learn them.

Anduin has always been worried about this. He has been thinking about whether to take some time to translate individual spells into spells, otherwise some simple improved magic cannot be taught to the little wizards, and now everyone is using some conventional spells.
