Chapter 18 Library Shopping
The next class was Herbology, which they had to take with Hufflepuff.
The Herbology classroom is in the southeast of the castle and is a large independent greenhouse.
It is managed by Professor Sprout, the dean of Hufflepuff and professor of herbalism. Many magical plants and herbs are planted here.
In addition to being used for teaching, it is also considered a product of Hogwarts. It is said that many materials in Snape's medicine cabinet were provided by Professor Sprout.
Professor Pomona Sprout is a short witch with flowing gray hair.
She usually wears a thick hat full of patches and is covered in dirt, because she always stays in the greenhouse playing with flowers and plants and doesn't care about her appearance.
Overall, he is an optimistic and compassionate person, a standard Hufflepuff.
Not only is she easy-going and friendly, her lectures are also very lively.
In his class, Levin performed well as usual. After all, with his absolute memory and [Scholar's Touch], his brain is equivalent to a super database, and all knowledge entered through scanning can be called up at any time.
Of course, just using knowledge does not mean that it can be put into practical use.
But when it comes to answering class questions according to the script, this ability is overwhelming to ordinary people.
Ravenclaw students quickly adapted to this and are proud of it.
Indeed, answering questions proactively is not a praiseworthy quality for Ravenclaw.
But if you do this to the extreme, you can answer any class question 100% correctly.
Even they have to admire such people.
After class, Levin quickened his pace and came to the auditorium quickly, which made Steve feel that he had found a kindred spirit.
But Levin was different from him. He walked so fast not to finish the meal, but to finish the meal early so that he could go to the library to read quickly.
After a hasty dinner, Levin went to the library.
Then he discovered that he was actually the first student to arrive here, even before Miss Know-It-All Hermione Granger.
However, the first thing he did when he came here was not to read a book, but to do his homework.
Unlike the Muggle world, Hogwarts does not have any exercise books or workbooks that provide professional exercises.
Their homework is basically to write short compositions.
For example, summarize the main points of the course, describe the course insights, etc.
And the limit on their assignments is not word count, but length.
The so-called length is probably about the same as the number of lines.
It's just that the professor doesn't count the number of lines written in the assignment, but the length of parchment consumed from beginning to end.
I had three classes today, and in total I had to write nearly two feet of homework.
In order to complete their homework more easily, many little wizards will go to the library to do their homework and search for information while writing.
After all, copying a book is easier than editing it yourself.
But for Levin, simple homework is not a problem at all.
He has all kinds of information in his mind for him to call upon,
And he himself is proficient in various hydrology techniques to make up the number of words.
After all, I had been a student of the Dragon Kingdom for so long in my previous life, and I was always a question writer.
But compared to his magical writing skills, the little wizards still envy his automatic writing pen.
He just needs to dictate and the pen will automatically complete the assignment.
This is the wonderful use of [Scribe].
In fact, Levin is happy to teach them the little magic he invented.
Unfortunately, no one came forward to ask.
Everyone thinks of it as an expensive shorthand pen.
————————
After completing his homework, Levin's real mission in the library began.
This is the place with the largest and most comprehensive collection of books in the entire wizarding world of Great Britain.
The collection of books here is not only accumulated by the school over the past thousand years, but also donated by outstanding alumni from all walks of life.
It can be said that no matter whether it is a pure-blood family, an organization like the "Death Eaters", or even the Ministry of Magic, the collection of books cannot compare to this place.
To Levin, almost half of the value of Hogwarts is in this library!
When Harry and others arrived at the library, they immediately saw Levin fighting with a large pile of books in the corner.
Thick books were stacked on top of each other, almost three or four feet high, almost burying him completely.
When Harry saw this, he took a deep breath and said with admiration: "He has read so many books, no wonder he is so good!"
Hermione snorted, bit her lip, and said to herself: "The semester has just begun, I will catch up with you soon."
In their eyes, Levin's reading mode is quite strange.
He doesn't carefully flip through the pages of a book like most people do,
Not even a quick page turn,
Instead, just like flipping playing cards, you go through the pages of the book from beginning to end in front of your eyes.
Each book, no matter how thick, consumed no more than a minute in front of him.
It’s like the legendary quantum wave speed reading,
Of course, the little wizards don’t know what quantum wave speed reading is.
But they knew very well that there was no way to read it.
It's just that Levin's expression is too focused and serious. Except for the speed of turning the book, his expression and posture are no different from those of someone who really reads seriously.
This strange appearance not only stunned Harry and the others, but even the librarian, Mrs. Pince, frowned.
Lady Irma Pince, Hogwarts Librarian,
According to the young wizards, this woman is extremely difficult to get along with and treats the young wizards in the library very harshly.
Under her management, the Hogwarts library looked less like a place of learning and more like a dictatorship.
Of course, essentially she just wants to keep the library quiet and the books tidy.
But these descriptions are enough to reflect her harshness.
Right now, he is eyeing Levin in Quantum Wave Speed Reading.
Although Levin's actions did not violate the library's rules, nor did he make too much noise, nor did he damage the collection of books,
But Mrs. Pince, who loves books, still couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to teach young people a little experience.
"This classmate, this is not how you read books. You won't gain any knowledge this way."
She didn't know the ability of [Scholar's Touch], so she couldn't understand that Levin was actually reading.
So, Levin showed her on the spot what it meant to memorize things backwards and forwards.
Soon, Mrs. Pince left with a strange look on her face. Even after returning to her seat, she still peeked at Levin from time to time.
Others were even more dumbfounded: Is this the true level of genius? !
We are all students who came on the same train, why are there such big differences? !
With the exception of Hermione, everyone else has completely given up on comparing themselves to Levin in this regard,
Especially Ronald,
His attention turned to the parchment covered with writing on Levin's desk.
"Um... Levin," he said, his whole face turning red.
Levin glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant. He just wanted to copy his homework.
No one wants to copy homework on the first day.
He sighed and pushed the homework over - just don't disturb me reading.
Levin's goal this semester is to have the entire library of books in his head.
When all the books on the desktop have been scanned using [Scholar’s Touch],
Levin stood up and headed to the bookshelf with a large stack of books.
I have to say that this library is quite large, with two floors in total. Not counting the hidden areas, the entire library covers an area of several thousand square meters!
Countless tall bookshelves extend from the ground to the seven-eight-meter-high ceiling, and many books can only be accessed by stepping on ladders.
Of course, you can also use flying spells, but spellcasting is prohibited here.
As he walked, Levin reached the depths of the library.
He saw more than a dozen rows of bookshelves, locked up by a screen, with a warning sign: Forbidden Book Zone!
From a distance, Levin could feel the chaotic and huge fluctuations of magic power inside.
According to the rules of the magic world, those truly powerful knowledge and magics will contain magic power just by writing them down with a pen.
According to Levin's estimation, with the scale of this magic power fluctuation, there are at least thousands of books containing magic power in the forbidden book area.
If half the value of Hogwarts is in the library,
Then half of the library's value is in this restricted area.
To him, this is a treasure trove of treasures!
But after Levin looked at Mrs. Pince from afar, he turned around and left.
Now is not the time to enter the forbidden zone.
Levin has already figured this out.
The White Wizard's attitude towards magic is very obvious - he advocates white magic and opposes black magic.
This goes against the philosophy of Hogwarts throughout the ages.
Of course Levin disapproves;
But he is the principal after all, and the highest authority of Hogwarts lies in his hands.
What can he do? He is not the Boy Who Lived, the savior of the Great Yin Magical World;
If you rashly come into contact with taboo knowledge, you will only be met with suspicion.
For a little wizard like him with no background, it is best to be honest in the first year and just learn the knowledge allowed by the school.
Instead of causing trouble everywhere,
Traveling at night, secretly reading forbidden books, breaking into forbidden forests...is that what you should do?
The savior was able to do this because he was protected by Dumbledore, and people pointed him to fight the Dark Lord to save the world, so naturally he could tolerate it no matter what.
As for ordinary wizards...do you really think that Hogwarts doesn't expel students?
"So, if I get into trouble like Harry Potter, I'll be a dog!"
Levin swore secretly.
But for a time traveler who regards everyone as an NPC and remains arrogant in his heart, how long can such a stubborn idea last?
