Chapter 456: Mobile school of magicians!

Harry and Ron swallowed secretly. They were amazed at the strict management of the Japanese Magic School.

If Hogwarts did the same, and every young wizard was given a magical robe to indicate their performance and if they violated school rules; in the experience of several of them, they could have been expelled from school long ago and even imprisoned in Azkaban.

In recent years, they had violated countless school rules. If school uniforms could change color, they would now be all white, the whitest of whites.

"There are two wizarding schools left, one of which is in Tibet, China. It is said to be located on a sacred snow mountain, which is inaccessible and snowy all year round. All the wizards there wear thick robes to protect them from the cold." Sirius said.

Ivan had seen a description related to this in Lockhart's A Year with the Yeti. But he couldn't remember the details clearly.

If Hermione were there, he would remember everything.

In general, Lockhart once looked at the mysterious Eastern School of Magic from a distance when he went hunting with Yeti.

In the white snow, through the thick fog, he saw a magnificent building appearing out of the mountains.

The exterior of the building looked like a splendid palace with a rich oriental style and a mysterious vibe.

The eaves at the four corners of the palace were rising as if they were about to take off.

Behind the eaves were many auspicious beasts, which had different meanings.

With the magic of the magicians, they all seemed to be endowed with life and special magical effects.

The upper part of the palace was full of turquoise tiles, brightly colored, stacked one by one.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, the golden dragon-like magical creatures surrounding the palace could be seen in the air.

Mysterious magical runes came out from time to time, which was a powerful sign of defensive magic; all uninvited visitors could not easily enter.

Lockhart regretfully mentioned that he did not enter because he was not invited. Of course, this was not true.

He had certainly never been to Tibet, and was even less likely to see the mysterious Eastern School of Magic.

But this experience should have happened. It was the experience of the magician whose memory was stolen by Lockhart.

Although he had not read the book carefully, Harry still remembered it vividly.

Among the many amazing creatures, the Yeti was probably the one that impressed him the most.

Almost two years ago, Lockhart had asked him to play an eight-foot-tall Yeti many times in class. According to the story in the book, he played the snowman character.

At Lockhart's request, they even went to the lower years to perform this "play" in the classroom.

As Lockhart had mentioned it many times in a regretful tone, Harry remembered the Wizard School in Tibet, China.

"Just like in Japan, the management of the wizarding school is equally strict. In fact, it's a bit like Durmstrang. They only accept wizards of the purest lineage. For centuries, they have only accepted applications from students of pure-blooded wizarding family origins." Sirius said, "When I was a second year student, I read about it in the Daily Prophet, and the debate was particularly intense. The International Confederation of Wizards had planned to send an investigative team to look into the matter, and they were prepared to take strict punitive measures to forbid them from pursuing this any further. But in the end they didn't, and the school is still carrying on this ancient tradition."

"Why?" Ron said in surprise.

"Everyone thinks this is extremely unfair," Sirius explained. "Think about it. Because of this unreasonable admission condition, all the gifted wizards born into Muggle families in China have no access to magic. Most of them don't even know of the existence of the wizarding world. They can only live among Muggles..."

"But isn't it the same for Durmstrang?" Harry asked.

"That's the problem. They have their own admission criteria for these long-established schools of magic. Many traditions may have been in place for centuries or even thousands of years. It's hard for outsiders to control them, even if their traditions aren't reasonable and fair!" Sirius said, "The environment in Asia is different from ours. If they don't go to Durmstrang, young wizards from Europe can also come to Hogwarts and Beauxbatons. But in China, if they are not purebloods, that means they will never have a chance. Under the limitations of the International Wizarding Secrecy Statute, wizarding schools from other countries cannot directly recruit students from China."

This was really unfair, but as Sirius said, no one could change this ancient tradition.

China had an extremely large population, and many Muggle wizards with magical talents.

However, due to this harsh condition of admission, most of his talents had been wasted and unexcavated.

After having their first magical "awakening", the young wizard's magic would gradually subside with age.

Unless they were incredibly lucky, these Muggle-born wizards would always end up as Muggle-born adults.

After telling the story of the Chinese School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there was a moment of silence.

"Sirius, you just said there are three wizarding schools in East Asia, where is the last one?" Harry asked.

"No one knows, because the last college was called the Mobile Wizarding School," Sirius replied.

"Mobile Wizarding School?!" They all exclaimed.

"Yes!" said Sirius. "No one knows what country it belongs to. It's been seen in China, Japan, South Korea, and even Australia. The school floats on the sea, moving with the ocean currents and has no fixed position."

"Floats on the sea, doesn't sound bad!" Ron exclaimed.

What a wonderful thing to imagine; a magic school floating in the sea with the ocean currents.

"It's also the most mysterious place of all the wizarding schools, and that goes beyond its location!" Sirius continued, "Even the way it recruits students, the number of students, the teaching methods and general strength are all unknown, and the outside world has no way of knowing anything about it."

"So how can we confirm that such a school really exists?" asked Ivan.

"It's because they have already registered with the International Confederation of Magicians, which seems to have happened a long time ago. Even so, they are still recognized by the wizarding world!" Sirius replied, "Although they have little contact with the outside world, there are still records about them. If you are interested, you can go to the library to look them up."
