Chapter 233 Don't put your life on the pity of others!
Dali immediately had the memory world replay the most ferocious and terrifying image of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, and then analyzed it:
"Voldemort's soul was taken away by this Eastern dark wizard's banner artifact, but that does not mean that Voldemort's soul was destroyed or sent to the world of the dead by Death!"
What if Voldemort's soul finds a chance to escape?
What other methods did Voldemort have hidden elsewhere?
What if this dark wizard from the East helped Voldemort regain his body and together they launched a counterattack on the wizarding world?
You should know that Voldemort's soul wasn't captured by us white wizards, but by a dark wizard who was, in some ways, far more terrifying.
What are you all so happy about?
I'm encouraging you to be courageous, not to be blindly optimistic!
Danger could strike at any moment. If you don't improve your weak mentality and meager strength now, are you going to wait until a ferocious dark wizard stands before you before crying and begging for help?
Dali concluded his narration of the Memory World 'viewing' with his usual sharp and incisive language.
Then, amidst the stunned silence and reflection of the entire school, he waved his hand to remove the water curtain, disperse the world of memories, and retract his own threads of memory.
This gave everyone some time to digest the content of the previous speech.
Next, the focus shifted to the topic of students' learning situation, which is most relevant to them.
"Now that everyone understands the current situation, let's talk about something more direct and practical!"
Dudley said calmly, then shifted his gaze to the Hufflepuff group, forcing a forced smile as he asked:
"Hufflepuff students, have you learned the Stabilizing Charm and the Power Charm?"
The little badgers thought Dudley had become more amiable, and they smiled and replied, "We've learned it!"
"Have you learned the spells taught in your respective grade's spell class?" Dudley asked, maintaining his expression.
Now the badgers' answers were no longer uniform.
While some of them were exceptionally gifted, the majority of the students were clearly mediocre.
In the end, Cedric, the Badger House class representative, had to give Dudley a vague answer on behalf of his students:
"Everyone has almost learned it."
Upon hearing this answer, Dudley's expression changed abruptly. His smile vanished, replaced by a frosty look, and he said coldly:
"Almost?! How much less is too much? When learning spells, it was about the same, but when fighting a dark wizard, it was worlds apart!"
Of the four houses, Hufflepuff House is the one I'm most worried about!
Think about how you all performed in the test barrier before!
The dark wizard has revealed his true colors and is about to cast a killing curse on you, yet you're still foolishly asking who he is and what he's going to do, or if the professor is just joking with you.
Later, when faced with a foreign black wizard, he was so frightened that he screamed and tried to reason with someone who couldn't understand English.
They have plenty of good intentions, but unfortunately their abilities can't keep up!
Have you ever thought about this: if nonsense works on the enemy, then there shouldn't be any offensive spells in your spellbooks!
To put it another way, setting aside your childish words, let's just discuss your counter-spell situation.
That's undeniably bad!
You've learned so many spells, how many have you actually used? How many have you used correctly? How many have you used accurately?
What's wrong? Are you having trouble making decisions? Can't choose your favorite spell during the battle?
With a kind heart, you are easily deceived, lack courage, and have an unstable mindset. Under these circumstances, you have learned magic spells almost perfectly!
If you were to actually clash with a dark wizard, even a fool could tell how slim your chances of survival were!
Dudley's abrupt reprimand and questioning left the Hufflepuff badgers blushing and turning pale, feeling both ashamed and heartbroken.
But the little badgers were powerless to argue and could only obediently accept the scolding.
Dali didn't finish his sentence; his tone softened slightly as he continued:
"There has always been a saying in the wizarding world that Hufflepuff is the house of mediocre people."
Upon hearing this, the little badgers turned even paler.
"However, this statement is inaccurate!" Dudley made another abrupt turn, causing the little badgers' mood to fluctuate wildly.
Keda, however, ignored this and kept talking:
"To give a past example, the internationally renowned expert on magical creatures, Mr. Newt Scamander, is a graduate of Hufflepuff School."
Let me give you another example from your own life. Based on my observations and judgment since the start of the semester, my appointed Hufflepuff class representative, Cedric Diggory, a third-year student, is currently the most talented student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, without a doubt!
If things continue at the current rate, in at most two years, Cedric will become the most outstanding and strongest student at Hogwarts in the modern era!
Of course, this doesn't include myself among the students, but it's enough to prove that Hufflepuff is not synonymous with mediocrity!
Dudley, amidst Cedric's shock and flattery, established Cedric as a benchmark for progress among Hogwarts students.
This means that Cedric will have to bear a lot of pressure from his classmates in the other three houses, and even his own house's laid-back badger might start to think about competing with him.
This will greatly benefit Cedric's development.
"But!" Dudley suddenly changed his tone, delivering a fatal blow to Cedric, "But such an excellent Cedric is utterly powerless against a ruthless dark wizard!"
I've already explained the reason very clearly! Cedric's performance in the test barrier also proved it!
Before Cedric could even unleash his decent magical abilities, a single, irrelevant remark cost him the initiative, and he was taken down by the dark wizard's Killing Curse!
So what I'm saying is, when facing unusual situations or dark wizards, don't have such a high sense of morality! Wait until you've knocked them unconscious before asking any questions!
Some might ask, how can you ask questions after knocking someone unconscious? It's simple, use mind control to ask questions!
Do not entrust your life to the mercy of the enemy, understand?
This is my advice to everyone at Hogwarts.
Dudley's targeted and cruel words made the Hufflepuff badgers somewhat uncomfortable, as did Cedric.
But after the previous speeches and tests, the little badgers understood that Dudley was right.
However, they did not think their kindness was wrong; it was just that the cruel reality did not match their kindness.
"Furthermore, I would like to offer some advice to my fellow students," Dudley continued. "If you are exceptionally talented, then make the useful knowledge and skills taught by the professors your own, master them to the point of proficiency, and be prepared to use magic to deal with danger at any time."
They even innovated and created their own magic.
If you have average talent and find learning difficult, then find your strongest area, specialize in it, and develop a variety of applications within that single area to enable yourself to protect yourself.
Hufflepuff students, put in the same effort you put into sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night to cook special meals with your culinary magic, and work your way up to become stronger!
If you can use food magic to fight and protect yourselves, that would be a good idea.
If a person dies, then we will no longer be able to enjoy all the delicious food in this world.
