"We two have different ideas. There is nothing to argue about in the first place. Anyway, it will only end on bad terms. Is there any need to argue?" Kayson shook his head, obviously not having that extra competitive spirit.
"I'm not talking about the personal level or the principle level. I'm talking about the difference in our teaching philosophy."
After Slughorn finished speaking, he waved his magic wand, and there were several chairs and coffee tables, as well as tea bags and hot water. With the blessing of magic, the three of them sat on their seats, each holding a cup of tea.
"Sorry, this is not my own house, so I didn't find snacks here. After all, I just came here not long before you." Slughorn said apologetically.
"It's okay." Kayson held warm hot tea in his hand, feeling a little more comfortable, and waved his hand. Cookies, mushroom stew, pumpkin pie and three small cakes appeared on the coffee table.
"Oh, dear Kayson, I have to say that what you said is really wonderful... This is the magic of alchemy, and I have to pay you the highest respect..."
Slughorn paused after saying this, "But I still have to return to our previous topic, which is the topic of our personal education philosophy. Please forgive me. I have not had in-depth communication with high-level people for more than a year, so please forgive me for being chatty and abrupt."
"I just said that your alchemy level is comparable to yours among the entire England, and even in the entire Europe, only Nicolas Flamel. However, education is not just about so-called passion, and false things like love can interfere with it."
"Let me ask you, if you give dragon's blood to a stupid wizard who doesn't even know which direction to stir the crucible, isn't this a waste of resources?"
After Slughorn finished speaking, he took a slow sip of tea, then picked up a cookie and took a bite. The tea and cookie merged in his mouth and turned into a sweet paste that caused blood sugar to explode and insulin imbalance, and he finally swallowed it.
"I have always disagreed with classifying students into various labels. For example, students who are good at studying sit at the front, while students with poor talents and poor grades are in the back corner of the classroom."
"The second before alchemy is completed is often chaotic. As the ancient alchemist Paracelsus said, the so-called waste is just a misplaced treasure." Kayson said while eating the small cake in his hand with a spoon.
"But there are too many scraps in front of us, right? If we pick up every scrap and carefully identify what they are, how many so-called treasures will we be able to find even in the end? This wasted time may be enough for us to teach more high-quality jadeite rough stones that have had a small window opened."
Slughorn Put down the tea cup in his hand, Zhong Zhen picked up the wand and waved it casually. A burst of white mist was released from it, and a figure was slowly reflected in it.
"There used to be a Minister for Magic whose surname was Fawley. This was his daughter, a born Legilimency. Her improved joy potion once made Moaning Myrtle sing. Are we going to spend such time teaching an idiot who can't even remember the direction of stirring?"
Kayson shook his head. "It is not only blood and power that breed wisdom. I had a student before, Hufflepuff with pure Muggle bloodline is called France. His talent is not outstanding. He once spent a whole month reciting the source of mysticism. What is he doing now?"
"He used his own wisdom to create a huge Magic Lens matrix. Nowadays, he provides the mysterious source of matter used by alchemists throughout Europe. A powerful family has sprung up at the feet of such a little wizard with little talent."
"The old-fashioned compassion of the Middle Ages. If you lived in the era of Four Founders, the little wizard of Hufflepuff's family today may have to enter Kayson Heath Academy."
Slughorn first made a little joke, and then said, "Yes, there are only a handful of them after all. That is survivor bias. If he hadn't happened to be talented and lucky, you wouldn't use him as an example, right?"
"My elite education can tap out real talents to the greatest extent, proportion and efficiency. They are the real force that promotes the progress of the magical world."
"Let me tell you about someone you are familiar with, Snape. When he first entered school, he showed an astonishing Potions talent. After graduating from him, what achievements has he made? He became Head of House of Slytherin., improved the formula of Wolfsbane Potion. Of course, this is useless now. He also improved the preparation method of Liquid Luck. The old notes he didn't need when he was a student were enough to turn a Troll into a Potions Master!"
"My elite club can be said to be full of such characters. Although they may not be as strong as Snape, they are definitely elite wizards who have a role in promoting the magical world."
"In fact, what I know is that there are definitely many wizards with low talents who have achieved great achievements. Or do you think that in your eyes, only those who have a decent job in Ministry of Magic, St Mungo's, Daily Prophet, Wizengamot can be successful?"
"One of my students who graduated last year ranked last in alchemy in fifth grade. Two years later, when he graduated, he successfully passed Gringotts's test. He became an internal curse-breaker, specializing in helping Gringotts repair those old alchemical objects."
"There was also a name I saw in the library. He was rejected by his family and Hogwarts because he was Muggle-born. When I entered university, he himself was a famous person in the world. A physicist, among the seven billion people in the Muggle world, everyone will read his name in textbooks. Is such a person just a worthless Muggle-born in the eyes of Hogwarts?"
After Kayson finished speaking, he slowly rinsed his mouth with tea, then took out a piece of watermelon from the void and ate it by himself.
"This is a fallacy. In the two examples you gave, do they really have no talent? They just show their talent too slowly." Slughorn said with a shrug.
"In fact, I will also absorb these talents the day after tomorrow. As long as they show talent, it is just a little slower. What's the problem? Snape of Half-blood, Lily of Muggle, I don't look at people by their so-called bloodline."
