Chapter 164: Subdue the Students of the Four Houses and Announce the Details of the Course!

Dudley's forceful and questioning speech silenced all the students present.

Even the most restless Gryffindor students showed thoughtful looks.

Dudley stood on the stage, giving the students time to digest and reflect.

After a good while, he continued, "In the future, during your time at school, if anyone discriminates against your bloodline, you can come and report it to me. I'll stand up for you and turn the abuser's robes into stinky mud - covered robes.

If there is group bullying or an upper - year student bullies a lower - year student, I'll make the perpetrators pay the due price.

However, if the person who insults or bullies you is your classmate in the same grade and beats you in a fair one - on - one fight, don't come to me. Go to your friends and your house master to solve it.

If you come to me in such a situation, I'll despise the perpetrator, but I'll also feel ashamed of the loser!"

Dudley's words made the expressions and looks of the students below the stage even more complicated.

Some were inspired by Dudley, with their eyes almost popping out with fire;

Some felt more secure and showed a silly, happy smile;

Some had their goals and ideals set by Dudley and showed a determined look;

Some still showed timidity and inferiority, fearing that a talented classmate in the same grade would pick a fight with them for no reason and they'd lose face if they couldn't win.

...

Dudley thought it was about time.

Having lived two lifetimes, he knew very well that inspiring words and speeches might touch and encourage many people at first.

But many of them would only get a momentary excitement and soon fall back into their old habits and forget all about it.

Only a part of people could really turn this kind of spiritual touch and encouragement into their driving force and keep going.

So, he didn't think he could completely change the learning atmosphere at Hogwarts with just one speech. It would require long - term subtle guidance in the future.

"Alright! Let's get back to the main point! Besides the two threshold conditions I mentioned before, there are two more conditions to attend my class!"

Dudley softened his tone and then announced, "The third condition is very simple. I believe everyone can meet it. That is, the students who come to my class should recognize Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, identify with their own house, have a sense of belonging and collective honor.

The fourth condition is that, since I am affiliated with all four houses and considering the harmonious development of the wizarding world, I hope the students who come to my class can be united and friendly. Don't create rivalries between the houses or within the houses.

Don't initiate conflicts and disrupt the united school atmosphere just because another house has more house points than yours, or because you don't like the students in your own house or other houses.

Some students may be confused and think that what I just said, which encouraged you to compete with the Slytherin students in learning ability and told you to handle one - on - one conflicts with your classmates in the same grade, seems to contradict these two conditions.

But I want to tell you, it's not contradictory!"

What I advocate is healthy competition, not malicious conflict.

I hope you all won't go looking for trouble, but at the same time, don't be afraid of it!

I hope you can take the outstanding students from your own house or even other houses as examples and motivate yourselves to work harder and become stronger!

Instead of being jealous of the excellent ones, never reflecting on yourselves, and only knowing how to slander and isolate others.

The above four points are the conditions for joining my class.

At the same time, I also hope that all the students in the school can meet these four conditions, including those more than forty Slytherin students who left earlier.

Let's create a good school atmosphere and pass it down from one generation to the next.

If we can really achieve this, Dark Wizards will lose the ground to survive in the wizarding world, and the wizarding world will embrace long - lasting peace.

No discrimination, no malicious conflict, and everyone can compete fairly in an orderly manner.

I long to live in such a wizarding world with my family and friends, and I believe most of you here and your families think the same way."

After Dudley finished his speech, the Great Hall fell into a breathless silence for a moment, and then thunderous and long - lasting applause broke out.

The applause was even faintly heard by the professors who were having a consultation for Eris in the school infirmary on the second floor. They were puzzled, but they didn't stop the consultation halfway and come out to investigate.

From then on, Dudley remained a special figure at Hogwarts, respected by the students.

But gradually, there were more people who admired him than those who feared him.

Teaching Assistant Dursley also gained a group of loyal student fans from all four houses, including Slytherin.

A moment later, Dudley on the stage stretched out his hands from afar, gesturing for everyone to stop applauding.

After the applause subsided, he began to explain the details of his planned class to everyone:

"If I set so many conditions but only teach you the [Calm Mind Spell], it would be too stingy of me.

In my class, I will not only teach the two types of magic jointly created by Harry and me - the [Calm Mind Spell] and the [Strength Enhancement] - but also advanced magic skills, such as the [Silencing Charm] and [Wandless Spellcasting].

I'll also teach you the skills of compound magic. For instance, when I cast [the Water God Blazes the Trail] to create that huge water dragon, it was a compound magic that combined the [Aqua Eructo] incantation and transfiguration.

The inspiration came from Principal Dumbledore's [Fiendfyre Pathfinder], which is a compound magic combining the 'Incendio' incantation and transfiguration.

In addition, I can teach you alchemy, combat skills, spell - development skills, and meditation methods for concentration.

If you learn these, I guarantee that your strength will double and redouble."

The content of Dudley's class made the students below all brighten up, and even the most laid - back Hufflepuff students couldn't help but feel longing.

Some people might not agree with what Dudley said, but his strength had convinced every student at Hogwarts.

That huge, ferocious water dragon was still hovering over the Great Hall!

This was the best advertisement.

"Teaching Assistant Dursley, when will your class start? Which classroom will you use? And how can you ensure that you can detect the students who meet the four conditions?"

A student from Ravenclaw couldn't help but speak up and ask.

Dudley smiled faintly and replied,

"My courses are not divided by grade or house. Students from the first to the seventh grade can come to class. To stagger everyone's class time, I've scheduled the classes for the weekends every week.

Each time, there will be two consecutive classes, lasting half an hour. Whether it's on Saturday or Sunday, morning or afternoon will depend on the situation. I'll inform everyone one day in advance.

The classroom will be the largest abandoned classroom on the fifth floor of the Castle. I can apply to the general consciousness of Hogwarts to use the Unplottable Extension spell to expand the classroom space and ensure it meets the teaching needs.

As for how to select the students who meet the four conditions... it's very simple!

I'll apply to Dumbledore to borrow the Sorting Hat. It's a treasure formed by the thoughts of the four founders of Hogwarts. As long as you put it on your head, it can read your mind.

You've all seen it during the Sorting. With its help, we'll definitely pick the right people perfectly.

Moreover, it's very fair, and no one will suspect that I'm showing favoritism or playing any tricks."
