Madame Maxime suddenly brought up M.S.C., but Wizet was not particularly surprised.
"I know about it. Professor Remus Lupin mentioned it before—several outstanding Beauxbatons graduates joined M.S.C."
Seeing how calm Wizet looked, Madame Maxime asked teasingly, "Mr. Lovegood, you do not seem worried at all that we might draw inspiration from the M.S.C. model?"
"Madame Maxime, we are still in the exploratory stage ourselves. Why should I be worried?" Wizet countered. "In fact, I am looking forward to something like that happening..."
"I see it as recognition of M.S.C. If they are willing to learn from this model, discover its shortcomings, and improve upon it..."
"To make it better suited to the modern wizarding world... We would actually be glad to see that happen. It would also help us take fewer detours on our own path of exploration."

if there were any negative remarks to be found, they were mainly jokes about Wizet's whereabouts.

Even based on that alone, Madame Maxime was willing to believe what Wizet had said;
in discussions among student groups, especially discussions about students
