From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 144 The Definition of “Human”

Although I forgot to ask Miranda to borrow her second grade notes, thankfully, I didn’t learn any new content in herbal medicine class on Monday.

Professor Essad just started squeezing the student labor force as usual, making them deal with a whole class of jumping toadstools.

Amidst the voices of all the little wizards complaining, Xiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his experience in dealing with jumping toadstools with the professor in the last class, he was able to handle these magical fungi quickly and well.

Because of his outstanding performance and the sharp contrast with the other young wizards who were ineffective, Professor Essad was rarely generous and gave Slytherin three points...

After lunch, we took a short rest before heading to the first class of the afternoon.

This is also the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester.

Many young wizards have a favorable impression or are curious about Professor Enriquez, who has pale blue hair and a unique face, and particularly hope to hear him give lectures to everyone.

Therefore, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a time when everyone should be feeling sleepy, the second-grade wizards sat in their seats uncharacteristically and energetically.

It is worth mentioning that as Xiven entered the second grade this year, their Defense Against the Dark Arts class was no longer with Gryffindor, and the college they attended together was changed to Ravenclaw.

Therefore, Abraxas finally no longer had to "condescend" to sit with Moody in Gryffindor.

Now Abu was leisurely occupying a row of double desks by himself. He stretched his legs out with satisfaction and rested them on the chair on the other side.

Abu's unseemly actions aroused strong dissatisfaction among the young Ravenclaw wizards, who all stared at him with indignant expressions, but he ignored them all.

As the class bell rang, the office wooden door on the right front side of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was pushed open on time.

Professor Enriquez walked out with bright lake-blue hair.

"Good afternoon, fellow students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw!" After arriving on the podium, he greeted his classmates with a smile. "I'm going to roll your name before going to class, and let me get to know you all by the way."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of parchment from the table and started calling names from the roster.

Every time he clicked on a name, he would raise his eyes and briefly look at the face of the corresponding little wizard, as if he wanted to match each name and face.

When Elsiona was called, Professor Enriquez paused slightly and took a longer look at the little Greengrass girl who carried the "Curse of Death".

After a slight pause, the professor resumed his previous rhythm and immediately added the name of the next little wizard. Soon, he read out the rest of the names.

"Very good, everyone came to the first class very enthusiastically! I hope the students can maintain this attitude this semester." Professor Enriquez smiled with satisfaction and said to everyone.

Then, he took out a book with a black cover from the desk and showed it to everyone, and said to the students: "I believe you all have this "Black Magic: Self-Defense Guide", right? Now turn it to the table of contents. .”

As the little wizards were flipping through the books, Professor Enriquez continued on the podium: "In today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, we are not going to learn defensive spells. I want to show you some new things." .”

"Everyone, please focus on the dark creatures written in the catalog, and focus on these creatures - vampires, werewolves, hags and giants."

"Can someone tell me what they have in common?"

"They are all classified as humans, Professor." A young wizard from Ravenclaw immediately raised his hand and said.

"Very good, Mr. Humbey." Sure enough, Professor Enriquez remembered the name of the little wizard in the audience and called it out accurately. "Two points for Ravenclaw."

"Then can anyone tell me why they are all classified as 'human'?" the professor then asked.

The freckle-faced little witch Petunia Mannis raised her hands tremblingly. After getting the professor's signal, she stood up and replied: "Professor, I think it's because they all have wisdom."

"There is actually nothing wrong with your point of view." Professor Enriquez nodded, then shook his head. "But many magical animals are also highly intelligent, such as the Acromantula, the Sphinx, the Manticore, etc. Then why can't they be classified as 'human'?"

Mannisruo was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

"Sit down first, Miss Mannes." Professor Enriquez said. "Is there anyone else who can answer this question?"

As the professor asked the question, the air in the classroom suddenly became quiet. No one was sure to answer this unfamiliar question accurately.

Abraxas, Mobley, and Elsiona subconsciously looked at Sivan.

Seeing their looks, Xiwen shrugged helplessly, saying that he didn't know the answer to the question either.

However, the sharp-eyed Professor Enriquez immediately noticed the attention of Xiwen and asked with a smile: "Mr. Rozier seems to have some ideas? Why don't you share it with everyone."

"Well, I actually don't have any ideas..." Xiwen glared angrily at the friends around him who were looking at him, and said to the professor.

No way, Xiven had never heard of how "people" were defined, and there was no record of this question in Miranda's notes, so he really didn't know the answer.

"It's okay, just talk casually." Professor Enriquez stared at Xiwen and asked persistently.

Xiwen knew he couldn't hide, so he had to stand up silently.

He thought for a moment, and then thought: Although he has never seen the Sphinx and the Acromantula, he has had close contact with the country's exclusive modified version of the Manticore.

It has to be said that no one would associate these behemoths with the ability to give birth to thousands of cubs with humans...

"Maybe it's because the reproductive methods and images of those magical animals are so different from humans?" Xiwen said uncertainly.

"That's right. One of the things you said is close to the answer to the question." Professor Enriquez nodded and said approvingly.

"So is it because of the way of reproduction?" Xiwen asked with a frown.

No matter how he thought about it, he never thought that the answer would be an image problem without any difficulty, so the remaining point was the method of reproduction.

"To be precise, it's not just the method of reproduction." Professor Enriquez revealed the answer. "But their bloodline is different from humans!"

After hearing Professor Enriquez's answer, Sivan put his hand on his forehead.

‘So, the professor really extended the topic to blood magic, which he is good at? ’
