Azkaban Vocational Technical College

"Alright, that's all my plans. We'll start construction tomorrow."

After explaining the renovation plan in detail to Sang Biao and Hafiz, Lester turned his attention to them, wanting to see if they had anything to add.

Sang Biao, who was originally a black Wizard Killer, knew absolutely nothing about management, so naturally he had nothing to add.

However, Hafiz is Corban who has worked within the system for over a decade, so he has his own insights into management.

"Lord Lai, I think we need to train more Auror," Hafiz said after a moment of serious thought. "Muggle-born have passed the Ministry of Magic's selection process to become Auror are all talented individuals. If we can find a group of frustrated Muggle Auror to serve us, our influence within the Ministry of Magic will also increase."

Upon hearing Hafiz's words, Lester couldn't help but look troubled.

He knew that Auror were all talented, especially Muggle Auror had earned their positions through their own merit. But why would the Ministry of Magic give such talented people a chance?

However, since Hafiz brought it up, let him give it a try. What if he can hook up with a few Auror? Every one that comes is a gain, so why not?

"Alright, there's a trial in Wizengamot in a few days. When you attend, see if you can persuade a few Auror to switch sides."

After speaking, Lester pondered for a moment, recalling the other two Auror had initially followed him, and asked, "By the way, what are your two colleagues capable of?"

When Lester appeared and Hafiz Hafiz, two other Auror had also submitted to him. However, these two Auror had been guarding Azkaban while he was out causing trouble, which is why they hadn't made an appearance.

"Them?" Hafiz's expression was strange. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "They seem a bit mentally unstable, and their behavior is somewhat insane."

Seeing that Lester showed no expression, Hafiz continued, "One of them is named Victor, and like me, he's Muggle-born. However, he seems quite obsessed with technology, constantly clamoring for a glorious purification, claiming that only the combination of technology and magic represents the future of the Wizarding World."

"The purebloods in the Auror Office all thought this guy was a delusional Mudblood, so he was sent to prison as soon as he passed the civil service exam."

Unlike Hafiz, who also didn't understand, Lester from the 21st century saw this Auror clamored to combine technology and magic as a genius!

If he succeeds, the wizards' fighting power will likely increase dramatically, and the Statute of Secrecy will become unnecessary, since wizards will no longer need to fear Muggle weapons.

"And the other one?" Upon hearing that Victor was a talented individual in the prison, Lester immediately became interested in the other Auror as well.

"The other one is even crazier," Hafiz said, a hint of fear in his eyes. "Ziggs, also Muggle-born, is different from other Auror have mastered offensive spells. He uses terrifying Blasting Curse whenever he attacks, and he's always shouting that art is an explosion."

"The pure-bloods of the Ministry of Magic were afraid he might suddenly go mad and blow up the Ministry of Magic, so they sent him to Azkaban to guard the prison."

Lester: "..."

For the first time, he felt that Azkaban was truly a gathering place for outstanding talents; it could almost be called the fifth house of Hogwarts.

Previously, he only wanted to build a more comfortable place for the prisoners and jailers so that they would obediently work for him, but now it seems that he needs to develop Azkaban in a more comprehensive way.

Residential areas are a must, and now, in addition to residential Azkaban, Lester is also building an Azkaban Vocational Technical College.

Yes, he wanted to build an academy in Azkaban to train prisoners who would be loyal to him.

When the seventh-year students graduate from Hogwarts, if they cannot find a job, they can choose to go to Azkaban Vocational Technical College to learn specialized skills.

To be honest, it's not that Lester looks down on Hogwarts, but this prestigious school with a history spanning thousands of years has such outdated teaching methods and uses textbooks that haven't changed in a century, showing no progress whatsoever.

If Hogwarts ' textbooks were even slightly more reliable, Snape wouldn't have been forced to modify the recipes himself. This is a case of outdated education pushing the children to their limits, even forcing students to improve the recipes—it's utterly absurd.

Furthermore, Hogwarts students study magic for seven years, but will they be able to use that magic when they graduate? Won't they still struggle to find jobs?

Therefore, Lester felt it necessary to build an Azkaban Vocational Technical College, which could specifically train young wizards in job skills and contribute to improving the overall employment rate of the Wizarding World.

Of course, Lester's idea of building the Azkaban Vocational Technical College was not without basis, mainly because Lester discovered that there were simply too many talented people in Azkaban!

As one prisoner who entered Azkaban once said, "Everyone here is talented, and they all speak very nicely."

Lester had taken it as a joke before, but now he realized that the Azkaban was truly full of talent.

Since these prisoners are willing to make money through shady means, they must have some special skills. If we build an academy and let talented prisoners and guards take classes, we can definitely cultivate a group of talents in the future!

"Hafiz, tell all the prisoners that they can have fun tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to give Azkaban a major overhaul, so get up on time."

Having made up his mind, Lester rose and gave Hafiz his orders, then headed alone to the north of Azkaban Island to survey the future city site.

Inside Azkaban Prison.

When Hafiz announced that Lester would lead them to renovate Azkaban the next day and build a luxurious residence for the prisoners, the roof of Azkaban nearly came off.

All the prisoners excitedly shouted Lester's name and sang praises of Lester deeds.

Living in a mansion within Azkaban must be absolutely amazing.

Why were these prisoners imprisoned in Azkaban for taking such a risk? It was for survival.

Now that Lester has allowed them to live inside Azkaban, isn't that essentially giving these prisoners a free place to live?

Moreover, the current warden is Hafiz, who is Lester's henchman, meaning he's one of their own.

Since the prison is being guarded by their own people, once they've become familiar with Lester, won't they be able to get out of prison and have fun whenever they want?

He could just say he was released on medical parole, and those Auror wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him. At worst, he'd be locked up in Azkaban again. Anyway, Azkaban was under Lord Lai's control, and for them, going back to Azkaban was like going home.

At this moment, the prisoners, lost in their daydreams, were completely unaware that once the Azkaban Vocational Technical College was built, they would experience firsthand just how painful learning could be.
