The class content has changed to reading and acting in plays.
In each class, several young wizards would be invited to the stage to perform, recreating dramatic passages from their books.
Regarding the teaching methods for this 08 course,
Don't say it, don't say it!
At least for the performers, they were impressed by the details of how the dark creatures were subdued.
Lockhart's works are based on real people and events, and many of the methods described are quite realistic.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fool the professional witcher Ciri in the first place.
However, such performances are not particularly effective for Defense Against the Dark Arts education; at the very least, they are better than nothing.
The young wizards were all speechless.
If you love acting so much, why don't you go into acting in movies?
Levin deeply felt that if the wizarding world could introduce Muggle movies and television,
Lockhart might just shine in another field.
Of all the young wizards, Harry was the one who suffered the most.
Perhaps it was to capitalize on the hype, or perhaps it was so that he could openly mention in his planned book, "My Teaching Career at Hogwarts," how he mentored the boy who miraculously survived and became the youngest recipient of the Order of the Rising Sun.
Lockhart practically treated him and Levine as his prized students, always inviting them to his small plays.
Harry felt very uncomfortable about this.
Worse still, he didn't have Levin's skills.
Levin, with his exceptional shapeshifting skills, always took on the task of creating the performance props, thus avoiding going on stage.
Harry himself could only play various monsters and demons on stage, repeatedly defeated by Lockhart in front of his classmates.
Because Levin's props were always incredibly lifelike, and Lockhart's "scripts" were also quite brilliant,
Many young wizards said that these drama classes were...quite interesting.
Lockhart's process of resolving the threat of dark creatures for the villagers felt quite realistic.
Perhaps he truly possesses genuine talent and learning?
As a result, Lockhart's reputation at Hogwarts unexpectedly improved for a time.
But soon, the young wizards understood.
Lockhart is merely a fake hunter of dark creatures.
The true hunter of dark creatures is someone else.
That afternoon, Levin and Hermione were on their way to the Charms class.
Suddenly, his classroom was surrounded by students, all standing in the hallway, and no one went in.
What happened?
Looking out from the doorway, the two saw Professor Flitwick standing inside, talking to a very old wizard.
—Newt Scamander!
Levin immediately recognized the other person.
At the award ceremony that the Merlin Order was searching for, Dumbledore introduced him to the other party.
At the time, the other party also praised my paper that I had submitted to the Journal of Fantastic Beasts.
Could it be that their visit is related to the thesis?
Flitwick spoke with great respect, not only because of the other man's achievements in magical creatures, but also because of Newt Scamander's age.
He was a contemporary of Dumbledore, having joined Hogwarts and been assigned to Hufflepuff, where a young Dumbledore was his Transfiguration professor.
Due to an unexpected incident, Newt was forced to drop out of school and began his research on magical creatures on his own.
Later, he even fought alongside the headmaster against the first Dark Lord.
He is now almost 100 years old.
Suddenly, Newt spotted Levin at the door and waved enthusiastically.
Levin walked in under the watchful eyes of all the students.
“Mr. Scamander, hello, what brings you here?” Levin said respectfully.
He was happy to show basic respect to such an erudite elderly person.
"What else could it be? It's about your thesis, of course," the old man chuckled.
"Is the article about to be published?" Levin asked, puzzled. "But surely it wouldn't warrant you coming to inform me personally?"
“That’s only part of it. I’ve come to see you today on both business and personal matters,” Scamander explained.
“Let’s start with personal matters,” Scamander said. “Actually, ever since I started studying magical creatures, I’ve had a dream of studying the Chimera, whether it’s dead or alive, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to do so yet.”
"This creature is both incredibly powerful and extremely rare."
"So, I envy you. You have the luck and the ability to encounter the Chimera Beast you've been dreaming of and to complete your research perfectly."
Levin could sense that the old man's eyes were indeed full of envy as he looked at him.
"So, could this old man see the materials and results of your experiment with his own eyes? If it's convenient, I can go with you to get them anytime."
Upon hearing the request, Levin smiled slightly: "Mr. Scamander, I must say, you are very lucky."
As he spoke, he pulled out an exquisite dragon-skin wallet.
This wasn't the spoils from the first-grade Christmas break, but rather something Leo created himself during the summer after learning the [Spatial Extension Charm].
"I always have the habit of carrying important experimental materials with me. What you need is on me."
So, right there in the classroom, Levin pulled out a complete chimera skin.
The head is made of lion skin, the body of sheep skin, and the tail of dragon skin. The three different types of skin are strangely connected together, and at first glance, it looks like a clumsy prank by some tanner.
But the old man excitedly grabbed the skin.
"This is it, yes, this is it, the Chimera Beast..."
Not only Scamander, but also the young wizards who were blocked at the door exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the fur of the legendary dark monster.
Hermione provided timely information, explaining that the chimera was killed by Levin himself, for which he received a First Class Medal.
Now, the young wizards were even more shocked.
During summer vacation, they naturally heard the news about the chimera and knew that someone had been awarded a first-class medal for it.
Even though the news mentioned Levin's name, few people believed that this feat was accomplished by a first-year wizard.
To be honest, the Wizengamots and the 657 members of the Order of Merlin wouldn't have believed Levin had actually accomplished all this if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
But now there is physical evidence present, and Professor Flitwick and Newt Scamander have testified to it.
They have no choice but to believe it.
Deafening applause soon erupted from the crowd!
What was supposed to be a magic spell lesson turned into a popular science lecture on magical creatures.
Levin not only produced the chimera hide, but also numerous specimens of chimera muscles, nerves, and organs, as well as his own research reports from his experiments.
By this time, many young wizards had already arrived upon hearing the news, crowding the classroom to the brim.
Scamander then took the opportunity to read the lab report aloud on the spot, showing the corresponding specimens as he did so, and praising Levin's experiments and analyses.
This was transformed into a fascinating zoology lesson.
The young wizards around listened with great interest.
This scene left Professor Flitwick both amused and exasperated.
In Levin's lab report,
Scamander admired Levin's bold yet reasonable conjectures and rigorous experimental methods.
It contains a large number of rigorous comparisons of controlled variables.
This is something that many scholars among wizards have been unable to do.
Finally, he remarked, "If all wizards could study in the same way you do, the magical world would be progressing much faster than it is now."
Of course.
Levin thought to himself,
Because he completely adopted the experimental standards of Muggles in biology and chemistry.
This is also what he wants to promote in the magical world.

Chapter 107 What is CNKI?
After returning the lab report to the boy, Scamander said, "Alright, now that my personal request has been fulfilled, let's get down to business."
"Next, I'm going to give you this certificate too."
As he spoke, he handed Levin a certificate with gold trim.
The words "Discovery of the Year" were written in gilded lettering.
Levin paused for a moment, then accepted the certificate.
This is his first academic award.
In his previous life, he studied engineering but did not pursue further studies in scientific research, so he was almost completely unfamiliar with this area.
"They originally wanted to give you the 'Best Newcomer of the Year' award, but I stopped them."
Scamander chuckled and said,
