This World Really Was Unfair

In fact, unless there are problems from even a slight overdose, or if the substances themselves have toxicity that is difficult to control in advance, it is difficult to classify Felix Felicis and Wit-Sharpening Potion as cheating methods with any reasonable or legitimate reason.

Magic, as a fundamental ability of Wizard, is politically correct in the Wizarding World almost on par with freedom of speech. Potions are also considered a form of magic, although they are somewhat influenced by external factors, but this is not a consensus that everyone agrees on.

Only a reason like "for the safety of the participants" can easily suppress all objections from the participants.

The Focus Charm can only make people focus and exert their full strength that they cannot normally do, and there is no such natural and perfect reason... The only point of entry is the area where someone else has cast the Focus Charm.

But at least before this exam, the question of whether having someone else use Focus Charm on you constitutes cheating is definitely unresolved.

However, there is some good news for Hogwarts: only one person truly possesses this magic and can make it work to disrupt the exam.

It's difficult to make the Focus Charm a cheating item by establishing the rules, but it's not so difficult to convince just one person, especially if that person seems very reasonable based on past experience.

"No problem."

As expected, Manus answered quickly and decisively:

"I think so too, so... is there anything else?"

"That's all. Go back and do your own thing."

Dumbledore watched Manus nod goodbye and leave, and sighed:

"Children are the future of this world..."

Their future, it seems, is clearly going to be even better than it is now, making it something to look forward to.

Therefore, we must not allow the problems he caused to continue to affect the future.

Dumbledore stood up, waved his Wand, then grabbed a handful of Floo Powder from the fireplace and sprinkled it in. After muttering an address, he went inside, and the glowing green fire flickered and leaped for a while before returning to normal.

Dumbledore's situation didn't affect the students. Without making Manus explain it himself, Dumbledore had already sent his Patronus to inform McGonagall.

Focus Charm are prohibited during this exam.

Of course, it doesn't matter if others use it, and even if they use the Focus Charm in advance, there's no way to detect it for the time being -- but after this rule came out, everyone knew that looking for Manus was useless.

As the founder of the meritocratic Wizard Sage Party, Manus never helps anyone cheat, regardless of the method.

Amidst the lamentations of many, the final exams arrived as scheduled.

Will this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts exam be the same as last year's?

"I don't know... it shouldn't be, right? Professor Millicent Bagnold isn't like that."

"But didn't Professor Millicent Bagnold resign and leave beforehand?"

"But Professor Flitwick said she left the final exam questions before she left, didn't she?"

"Exam questions that can be prepared in advance shouldn't be that complicated..."

"Who can say for sure?"

People around him whispered among themselves. When Manus arrived, he held an Egypt Book of the Dead and read it quietly by himself.

Egypt has made significant achievements in both Alchemy and shadow magic, which are his current research areas, so he has been studying them more recently.

However, the Britain stockpile is only what the Muggle government seized back then. Next year, I might consider taking a trip to Egypt to see what related books the Wizarding World there has to sell.

Just then, another group of people arrived, and Manus glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.

The recent full moon didn't coincide with cloudy skies or rain, and the Marauders in front of us are still all there, clearly indicating that the Animagus Transformation was successful.

Manus nodded and then lowered his head to continue reading.

For him, exams were basically not a problem; aside from needing to spend a little time on them, they didn't cause him any other trouble.

Besides Divination.

Because it was confirmed that he possessed Third Eye, in addition to answering the questions, he was also given an extra Prophecy as a practical test.

It will rain tomorrow.

Manus looked at the crystal ball, but still got no result, which was the result of his Divination in most cases.

Therefore, he could only resort to Divination Magic to fool them, fortunately, its accuracy was very high.

Tracey didn't say much about it, insisting on specifying what to Divination, as that was the standard for a master Divination, and it didn't make sense to include it in the exam requirements.

But he simply didn't say much about the exam.

"You still haven't given up on your idea?"

Tracey was full of regret about Manus's idea. He didn't think Manus could succeed and believed that it was just a waste of time to leave the Third Eye unused.

The original intention of introducing Manus to Paris Trelawney was to use external forces to help Manus get back on the right path.

Although Paris's Third Eye ability was also very weak, he still Third Eye nonetheless, and Tracey hoped that he could persuade Manus.

As it turned out, Manus went to watch a Quidditch World Cup match in Australia, and so early in the morning he met Paris, who was far away across the ocean. Paris's daughter was also about to start school at that time.

Paris, who needed Manus's help, did not play the role that Tracey wanted him to play; in fact, he seemed to have made Manus even more determined.

"Well, as an individual, what are the benefits of knowing the future in advance? Everything has its price, so why pay a high price for something that isn't important?"

Manus shook his head, his words without the slightest hesitation:

"Rather than constantly striving for a few words or fleeting glimpses of the future, even neglecting the present moment, I would rather weave the present into a net that can encompass any future possibility."

Although Tracey lacked Third Eye but possessed a rich Divination, he only partially understood what Manus was saying. While he didn't fully comprehend it, he could sense Manus's unwavering resolve.

"All right..."

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Tracey wrote an O on Manus's grade, not needing to wait to see if tomorrow's weather Prophecy would come true.

This is just a standard procedure; only important or incomprehensible Prophecy are sealed and sent to the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of Sybill. Manus was so averse to the power of the Third Eye, but Sybill wished that her talent had only come a little late, and that she could awaken the Third Eye as soon as she woke up.

This world is really unfair...

With the exam week over, whether things went smoothly or not, everything has settled down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief before the results were released, regardless of their feelings.
