Eighteen Defense Against the Dark Arts Professors

The four transfer students apparently did not go through the Sorting Hat ceremony and were directly assigned to the Gryffindor school by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

Luffy and Naruto quickly became friends with the Gryffindor students and were widely welcomed.

Eren, simply by staying quietly by Kaneki Ken's side, earned the title of "Gryffindor beautiful girl".

Now, Eren has already reached the [Innate] realm. His inner strength is purified, his Life level has been elevated, and his wheat-colored skin always glows with a radiant light. His pair of brown gem-like eyes are especially eye-catching.

The aura she gained from conquering Infinite Planes is unmatched by any other little witch.

The Survival Quartet watched silently as the Gryffindor camp cheered and celebrated, their thoughts racing.

What are these members of a mysterious organization called "Main God Space" doing at Hogwarts?

Seeking help from experienced colleagues?

Harry and the others focused their attention on Wang Yan on the professor's seat.

Unfortunately, the Professor of Divination only gave them a meaningful smile.

He mouthed the words.

"The real show hasn't even started yet."

A good show?

What's the show?

The Survival Quartet were completely bewildered.

Soon, Headmaster Dumbledore put on the show that Wang Yan had been talking about.

The white-haired old wizard slowly walked to the fireplace in the Great Hall and sprinkled a small pinch of Winky powder.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the flames turned into the soft, jade-like color of emerald.

The flames burned higher and higher, gradually rising taller than an adult, almost engulfing Dumbledore.

The principal simply took a few steps back.

A moment later, the eighteen sweeping dark green flames condensed into human shapes.

"This year, more than a dozen talented young people have applied to be our Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. They are all very good, making it really difficult to choose."

Dumbledore cast a Loud Voice Charm on himself, and his aged voice quickly filled the entire Great Hall.

A look of Satori dawned on the quick-witted Hermione Miss Granger's face. "No wonder we weren't allowed to buy the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook in advance this year..."

She had initially thought that after what happened last year, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course might be canceled this year.

She never expected this situation.

A professorship in this kind of course is like a hot potato.

After all, it is said that Voldemort once wanted to apply for the position, but Dumbledore rejected him without hesitation, and thus cursed the concept of the "Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor position" at Hogwarts.

From then on, no wizard could sit comfortably in that position.

Harry, standing nearby, toyed with a few sailboat coins, sickle coins, and carat coins in his hands. He narrowed his emerald green eyes slightly, a wicked smile playing on his lips, "It's none of our business. Anyway, everything taught at school is a waste of time."

In the later part of his first year, apart from Prophecy classes, he was multitasking, dealing with the professors while recalling, understanding, and absorbing the various magical knowledge he had memorized.

This is the benefit of NZT48.

During last year's holiday, with the help of Neville, Malfoy, and Hermione, Harry successfully lit up the process for mass-producing NZT48, and then shared this wonderful thing with his three friends.

Just as Neville Barton and Draco Malfoy were about to offer their opinions, eighteen Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor took to the stage one after another and began their self-introductions.

The first one was a male wizard with shiny slicked-back hair and clean teeth.

Although he seemed to have dressed up deliberately, Harry had to admit that he was a handsome guy.

"Hello everyone, I personally think that there is no need for self-introduction."

The handsome wizard wore an exaggerated smile, his words tinged with arrogance. "Anyone who knows my name, say it out loud."

"Gilderoy Lockhart!"

"The author of 'How to Deal with Goblin,' 'A Stroll with Ghouls,' 'A Holiday with Witches,' and 'A Voyage with Vampires'!"

"Grandmaster of the fight against Dark Magic! I have a Muggle camera here, can we take a picture together?"

"Professor Lockhart, I really like your book, could you please sign it for me?"

"He's not a professor yet!"

A group of little witches, their faces flushed, began interacting with Lockhart in a frenzied manner.

Looking at this group of shameful women, Hermione put her hand to her forehead and sighed Youyou, "I can't believe I ever liked such a person who is all show and no substance..."

Malfoy, the Platinum Young Master, curled his lip, deeply agreeing with Hermione's opinion.

As he spoke, he activated the [Dragon Sight] instinct of Frostwing.

Draco Malfoy stared intently at Gilderoy Lockhart with his scarlet eyes, his face full of mockery. "This level of magic... even a newly promoted wizard who just passed the 12th level of the OWL exam is stronger than him."

By observing the flow and traces of magic within Lockhart's body, Malfoy discovered that this outwardly impressive young wizard used almost only one spell.

[Obliviate].

It is obvious that this is a fraudster.

All the experiences he has been praised by the world were stolen from others.

After all, the Memory Charm isn't very effective against Werewolf, vampires, and Goblin.

Malfoy shared his discovery with his three companions.

Neville Barton, who plays the role of butler in the Survival Quartet, actually said a few words in Lockhart's defense, "Think about it carefully, he dared to take action against those adventuring wizards, which shows both courage and carefulness. We can't say he's completely useless."

The Great Hall was bustling with noise, and the lively atmosphere reached a new climax.

If popularity were the deciding factor in hiring, then the remaining seventeen candidates probably wouldn't even need to participate.

But that's not the case.

Dumbledore believed that theoretical knowledge, life experience, student rapport, and practical experience were equally important.

He mentally gave Gilderoy Lockhart high marks for his first three projects, but still insisted on giving the other candidates a chance.

Real-world selection!

Two applicant wizards will play the roles of attacker and defender, respectively, and will be evaluated twice. The wizard with the highest combined score will be appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts.

After Dumbledore explained the rule to the students, the atmosphere became even more heated.

Gilderoy Lockhart's fans blindly trusted him, believing they would see their idol shine.

The second candidate slowly stepped onto the stage.

As soon as he lifted the Cloak that had been covering his body, the Great Hall suddenly became cold and quiet.

This person had beautiful, jet-black hair and a tall, slender figure, making one feel sorry for him.

Her slender, fair fingers seemed to belong to a skilled pianist.

Gilderoy Lockhart was handsome, but compared to this young man, he was worlds apart, like heaven and earth.

Some infatuated young witches blushed and chose to betray him, instead supporting this young wizard who looked like he had just graduated.

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Harry and Neville gasped.
