Chapter 903 Admission Letter
Chapter 903 Admission Letter
Early in the morning during the winter vacation, Ma Wu neither watched TV nor clamored to go out and play. He just sat in front of the window staring outside, and did not do his holiday homework.
Hehehehe! I, Ma Wu, am a future wizard, so I don’t have to do homework in a Muggle school anymore!
This is not necessary!
If this silly child could be more careful, she would realize how weird it was that her sinister brother was leaning on the sofa doing his holiday homework.
There are very few holiday homework assignments, only five life diaries and two reading notes, and there is no word limit, just to prevent the children from wasting their holidays.
Martin picked up his pen and started writing his diary in advance.
{January 1, today I played.}
{January 1th, I played it today too.}
{February 2, I played again today.}
{February 2, I played it again today.}
{March 3, today, I am done.}
Done. Next I will write my reading notes, titled “My Thoughts After Reading Martin’s Diary”.
{After reading this diary, I feel that the author has mastered the commonalities and differences of repetitive adverbs, '又', '也' and '还'. '也' can indicate the same action or state attribute as the above; '又' indicates the repetition of an action or regular event; '还' indicates the continuous repetition of an action that has been realized. In just five days, the image of a lazy child who gradually indulges in entertainment and forgets to complete his homework is vividly portrayed on the paper. The last word '玩完' has three meanings, which not only expresses the end of the holiday and the end of the happy game time, but also shows the author's despair of not completing the homework on the last day of the holiday. Finally, it expresses the author's determination to correct the bad habit of playing and study hard in the new semester. }
As for the other reading note, yes, you can write "My Thoughts after Reading "Martin's Diary"". I reflect on myself three times a day.
……
Postscript, after school starts.
In the office, Teacher Xiaolin looked at the collected homework, as well as the freshly appointed monitor who helped her collect the homework. The monitor had already put his own homework on the top, and said as tactfully as possible: "Student Martin, it is better to read books written by others to broaden your horizons and ideas. It is not good to work in isolation."
Compared with Martin's weird reading notes, Huiyuan's "A Brief Discussion on the Influence of Aristotle's Analytical Philosophy on the Formation of Legal Philosophy Principles" submitted last semester was relatively normal.
"Oh, I see." Martin was very obedient: "Please wait for me for ten minutes, teacher."
Ten... minutes? Kobayashi Sumiko looked sideways. This kid really doesn't do homework on his own.
Eight minutes later, Martin came back and put the two torn pieces of lesson preparation notes on top of the homework.
Teacher Kobayashi took Martin's newly handed-in homework and looked at it with a helpless expression.
"Thoughts after reading "Ma Wu's Diary"", "Thoughts after reading "Xiao Ai's Diary"".
Why am I not surprised at all?
Martin's intention to be funny is not strong, but it is extremely pure.
But other students may be confused about what books to read in their reading notes. It seems that I should find some time to talk to you about it.
Teacher Kobayashi waved her hand and sent Martin back to his first class. She took out other students' reading notes to see if they had any other questions.
From Martin's reading notes, we can know that the people most likely to become problem households besides Martin are Ma Wu and Huihara Ai, as their family contact addresses are the same house number.
Ma Wu: "Experiences of fighting against "The Monster Book of Monsters""
Fighting with the book? Instead of reading notes? Teacher Kobayashi couldn't help but take a closer look. According to Ma Wuzai's description, it seemed to be a book that would bite people. Carefully observe its reaction, and while you don't get bitten, slowly stroke its spine with your hand to make "The Monster Book of Monsters" quiet down.
Compared to the result of reading, how she read the book made her feel more rewarded? ... No! Why would there be a book that bites people?
Teacher Kobayashi found another copy of Huihara Ai's reading notes, which turned out to be a whole book of small regular script: "From "The History of Magic", we can see how the Industrial Revolution changed the way wizards are produced."
However, when I looked at the content again, I found that it looked like class notes were bound together.
Teacher Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh in the office.
I was a pig killer in my previous life and a teacher in this life.
I killed people in my previous life, and I teach Chinese in this life.
……
Time returns to the present.
After waiting and waiting, Ma Wu finally saw what he was waiting for. A snow-white owl with a few black stripes flapped its wings and flew to the door, holding a letter in its claws.
It's my letter! Ma Wu was very sure, and she also believed that if this letter was taken away or torn up, more owls would bring more letters.
Ma Wu couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the door directly and took the letter from the confused owl messenger's claws before it had time to release it.
"Thank you, Mr. Owl." Before closing the door, Ma Wu did not forget to thank the hesitant owl postman.
However, just as the excited Ma Wu turned around and picked up the envelope, she was stunned.
{Mr. Martin
Agasa House, 2-22, Yoneka-cho, Tokyo}
"It's my brother's."
Of course, Ma Wu is not the only one who needs to transfer. Although if you think about it carefully, Ma Wu's out-of-control ability should not be a problem for the wizards at Hogwarts.
Ma Wu, feeling a little depressed, pouted and wanted to open the letter, but after hesitating for a moment, he ran to the sofa and handed the letter to Martin.
Martin put down the homework he had just finished writing, took the envelope, looked at the front, and then turned to the back. The envelope was printed with the Hogwarts logo, and the wax seal on the seal was also very delicate, with a full and flawless pattern, like a small relief.
Opening the letter: {Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Principal: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Confederation of Wizards, First Class of the Order of Merlin, Grand Wizard, and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot)
Dear Mr. Martin:
…}
"Hmm..." Ma Wu stared at Martin: "Where's my letter..."
"Don't be anxious, let the letter fly for a while." Martin was checking the list of required books and equipment, and answered Ma Wu's questions perfunctorily. In Ma Wu's eyes, he thought his brother was looking at his admission letter with pride, which made him even more depressed.
Martin suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised the letter and shook it.
Hey, who messed with this little ancestor again? Why are the words on my letter gone?
Ma Wu opened the door and went out, standing outside waiting for the letter.
After a while, another owl came. It seemed that this owl was delayed on the way.
"Thank you, Mr. Owl!" Ma Wu snatched the letter again and ran back in a hurry. Miss Owl:?
However, after Ma Wu picked up the letter, his expression froze again.
{Dear Ms. Huihara Ai
Agasa House, 2-22, Yoneka-cho, Tokyo}
Ma Wu, with a gloomy face, took the envelope and went to the basement to find Xiao Ai who was "addicted to computer games".
After a while, Huibara Ai came up holding Ma Wu in one hand and holding an opened envelope in the other, and looked at Martin in confusion: I want to go too?
Martin nodded: No matter what, you and the great detective have to bring something to prove that this is a Conan fan work. Otherwise, if you just bring a rabbit and a Doraemon to Hogwarts, is this a Conan fan work or a Harry Potter fan work?
Huihara frowned sadly: This is my precious winter vacation time. Do you know how much my development progress can be improved during the vacation compared to school days?
Martin tilted his head and looked sideways, grinning: "You mean the precious winter vacation time? Every three days the detective team goes out to do something, every seven days the doctor takes you camping and then does something? Every half a month the great detective gets into trouble and asks you to help look up information?"
Huibara Ai rolled her eyes: That's more time than not resting during the holidays and going to another place to go to school.
Martin raised his eyebrows and squinted: You can research the antidote in the Potions class, maybe you will get some unexpected results that can advance the progress a lot, or even make it directly?
Or maybe Ai can directly analyze the molecular formula of the potion, make it into capsules through chemical synthesis, and give the wizards some medical and chemical shock?
Ma Wu raised his little face and looked at Huibara Ai on the left, and at Martin on the right. The little guy was very confused: Why are you two chatting without turning on the volume?
Martin: It means that the sleep I slept in was not in vain. We have known each other for almost a year, and we finally have some tacit understanding.
Huihara Ai: Get out.
Click, snap...a letter was put in from the letter slot on the door.
Ma Wu walked over to take the letter with a little hesitation, feeling both excited and worried that this letter was also for someone else, such as Sister Tuji.
{Dear Miss Ma Wu
Agasa House, 2-22, Yoneka-cho, Tokyo}
"Yeah!" Ma Wu jumped and danced holding the envelope high, then opened the envelope and read the letter.
{…Dear Miss Mawu: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.
The semester is scheduled to start on January 1th, and we will be waiting for your owl to bring you your reply.
Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress.
"Hehehe..." Ma Wu took the admission letter that was no different from others, showed it to Martin, then to Huiyuan Ai, and then ran to show it to the doctor, Miyano Akemi and Doraemon. During this time, Martin also handled the floor under her feet that suddenly caught fire, the water pipe that suddenly burst due to the surge in pressure, and the air that suddenly heated up sharply without leaving any trace.
Huihara Ai's protest was limited to eye contact. By the time she spoke, she had obviously agreed: "School starts the day after tomorrow. Isn't time a bit tight? Are we going to study in London?"
Normally, Hogwarts should have started on September 9st like ordinary schools, and the notice should have been delivered about a month and a half in advance.
But Martin's sinister intention was to adjust the school opening date to January 1, which is the day after tomorrow. From receiving the notice to reporting to school, it was as quick as enlisting in the army.
"Well, I originally wanted to move it to Japan last night, or just put it in China." Martin nodded: "But after repeated comparisons, I realized that it would lack the flavor of Western fantasy if it were not placed in Scotland."
Changing the platform nine and three-quarters at London King's Cross Station to exit G6 at Young Street Underground Station, the feeling changes instantly.
Martin lowered his voice and complained about Ma Wu without letting Ma Wu hear: "Xiao Wu doesn't want to learn magic at all, she just envies that kind of wonderful experience. Having a change in this aspect is like wanting to eat KFC but getting a Dicos."
"But there is certainly enough time." Martin gestured with an OK sign: "Let's pack our luggage today and use the portal to go to London directly in the afternoon. Plus there is a 9-hour time difference, so we will arrive in the UK this morning. We can go to Diagon Alley to buy our equipment and then take the train to report to school tomorrow."
Unlike China, schools in the UK, Japan and many other countries require students to provide their own teaching materials and other equipment. Even the school uniforms are sent to students with various requirements, and students' families sew them themselves or have them custom-made at tailor shops.
Including Hogwarts, students are given a list of required books and equipment, allowing them to buy the equipment themselves according to the chart.

……
in the afternoon.
"What, you want to take Shiho with you too?" Miyano Akemi had always thought that only Martin and Mawu, plus Tuji and Doraemon, were going to school. It was not until she and Professor Agasa saw them off that she realized that Haibara Ai, who had quietly packed her luggage, was also going on the journey.
"I just expected that you would have a strange reaction, so I didn't tell you..." Huiyuan Ai glanced at Ma Wu and said cryptically, "I should be back earlier than expected. Please take good care of the doctor during this period, especially his weight. If the weight you have lost with great difficulty rebounds, you will have to work harder to lose weight."
Doraemon had already taken out the Anywhere Door and opened it, and the target was a hotel in London that belonged to Martin. Martin, Ma Wu and Tu Ji had already walked in, and Huiyuan Ai also picked up her small suitcase and walked towards the Anywhere Door.
"Shiho! Shiho! Please take me with you! How can I live without you, Shiho!"
Sure enough, my sister's strange call came from the other side of the earth.
Although it wouldn't matter if she let her sister catch up and take a few turns here before going back through the door, Haibara Ai still ruthlessly closed the door.
"Shiho——!" "Bang". (End of chapter)
