Chapter 219 Admissions Standards of the Four Founders

"Look, this is Rowena's admissions standard. Even if you are not her daughter, I think you can still become her secret room student." After Les gave Helena a word of advice, he stopped chatting with her and turned to walk out of the seal.

Until the stone wall of the seal closed, Helena was still stunned, her mind full of what Les had just said.

After standing quietly at the entrance of the seal for a while, Helena's emotions gradually stabilized. But when she turned around, she was shocked: Ravenclaw was standing quietly not far away and staring at her.

"Is what Uncle Salazar said true?" Helena couldn't help asking after a moment of silence.

"Of course, if you don't meet my requirements, I won't allow you to enter my exclusive classroom. If I make an exception for you because you are my daughter, it would be too embarrassing." Ravenclaw said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Helena's spirit became opaque again.

After coming out of the seal, Les couldn't help but think of a conversation he had with three old friends when the school was first founded. That happened after he expressed the type of student he liked.

Just as the Sorting Hat sang at the Sorting Ceremony, brave, generous and courageous students belong to Gryffindor; Hufflepuff equally tolerates all children with magical talents; those who are smart and wise can go to Ravenclaw; as for Slytherin, the Sorting Hat obviously did not understand the true meaning of Salazar Slytherin himself...

But what happens after they are admitted to the academy?

Although the founders will treat everyone equally, it is impossible to really devote the same effort to every little wizard - that is unfair to talented students.

So they had a special conversation about this.

"It is much easier for children nowadays to learn some knowledge than it was for us back then." Looking at the "schedule" arranged by Rowena, Gryffindor expressed his heartfelt emotion: almost without paying any price, there are world-class magicians who hand over carefully selected spells to them. This treatment makes Gryffindor a little jealous.

"But for wizards, seven years of study can only slightly open the door to the magic world. Children with higher talents may have just squeezed in half of their bodies." Salazar believes that seven years of study time is actually not enough, which is equivalent to the level of magic enlightenment.

"Salazar, you are wrong." Ravenclaw has a different view, "For many people with mediocre qualifications, it is enough to knock on the door. Anyway, they will never be able to walk into the door and get a glimpse of the true charm of the magic world in their entire lives."

Helga Hufflepuff frowned at her friend's words: Rowena is good in everything, but she is too ruthless in some things.

"Then we can't let those talented students waste their time outside the school?" She couldn't help but say: "Suffer the pain we suffered in the past again?"

Ravenclaw wanted to reply: Why not? But after seeing the old friend's gentle brown eyes, she somehow softened her heart and gave a compromise.

"We can pick out those students who are worth further training, let them continue to study in the school after graduation, and help us teach a few courses."

Rowena's proposal was unanimously agreed by the other three founders.

Even as gentle as Hufflepuff, they know that there is no need to keep those students with poor talents in the school for too long. They can go out and experience this colorful world earlier.

"But if you want to be trained by me, the child's talent must be good enough." Rowena said that she would greatly increase the admission threshold, and not everyone can study here.

"Of course, grades can prove talent. Don't think of becoming my postgraduate student if you haven't won the first place. In addition to talent, I also hope that he loves reading as much as I do. In the future, I will pass on my library to him!" Ravenclaw counted the personal qualities required for postgraduate students on his fingers.

Godric was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about these things.

If you want to recruit a student to study here, what kind of person should you recruit? He glanced at Salazar standing next to him, and a glimmer of enlightenment rose in his heart: I have to find someone as resourceful as Salazar, so that he can help me manage the overly energetic little guys in the academy in the future.

"The students I like are those who are honest, loyal, perseverant, honest, and not afraid of hardships--" Hufflepuff has high requirements for the character of students.

Sarah looked at her and thought to herself, are you picking students or recruiting knights? If a Muggle who meets your requirements appears in front of you, would you still accept him as a postgraduate student?

As for your own postgraduate students, they must be from a wizard family and have high enough talent. It would be even better if they can be diligent, smart and brave.

When Salazar announced his admission standards, Godric complained mercilessly: "Then just leave all the students to you to train, how can you want everything! No, you can only choose from your own academy!"

He was really worried that Salazar would kidnap the good seedlings in his academy.

Salazar smiled and agreed to Godric's restrictions. In his opinion, the best students would only come from his own college.

In a few words, the school system of Hogwarts was determined by the founders.

…

'Rowena, you did find an heir who meets your requirements, but unfortunately, she has always lived in your shadow.' Les shook his head, sincerely feeling sorry for Helena and Rowena, mother and daughter.

After returning to the college's common room from the underground seal, Les briefly explained to Daphne where he had just gone.

"You should know the identity of that ghost, right?" He sat down in the armchair and asked Daphne, who was sitting opposite him.

Daphne nodded.

That is the ghost of Ravenclaw House. Although she has always called herself "Grey", well-informed people know that she is actually the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Daphne could guess why she came to see Les: she wanted Les to take her to see her mother.

But she was a little confused as to why Rice refused to take her with him. Had she met Ms. Ravenclaw before?

"By the way, you can explore this address if you are interested in it in the future. This is a gift from Helena to you." Les conveyed Helena's "sincerity" to Daphne.

"The eighth floor of the castle...?" Daphne wrote down the address and decided to go there if she had time in the future.
