Chapter 393 Small talk
First he beat him without caring about anything, then he fed him a nice meal. After a few times, Hagrid's big brother was obviously not so irritable anymore.
"Come, sit down."
"Sains~" Grawp muttered Sainz's name incoherently, and sat down obediently with a plop. The look in his small eyes was no longer cloudy as before, but much clearer.
After putting on enough defenses, Sai approached the giant in high alert and touched his skin with his hand.
The texture of his skin was about the same as Sai had estimated, very rough, different from any known animal, different from humans, and different from other humanoid creatures.
If I have to make an analogy, it's like the skin of an elephant, rough and tough. There's no need to actually measure it, anyone who touches it will definitely feel that the skin is very thick.
He secretly used detection magic on his hand to find out the past. The magic resistance of the giant skin was still slightly lower than that of the dragon skin, but it was definitely in the first tier.
While Sainz was probing, Grawp ate quietly.
Sai thought to himself, "Yes, unless he was deliberately showing weakness, he should have been completely defeated."
Any animal, including humans, hates to be disturbed while eating. If someone touches them while they are eating, they generally cannot tolerate it.
Someone has already experienced his resistance to magic. To defeat him, of course, one has to be ruthless, even breaking his arms is possible.
Of course, treatment is required after the interruption. When using healing magic, if the skin is intact, the effect will be much worse. It will be much easier if a wound is made on the skin first, allowing the magic to pass through the wound and heal the bones inside.
This situation is similar to that of the fire dragon. The fire dragon's resistance is also mainly reflected in the dragon skin. When the dragon skin is broken, the internal resistance will be significantly reduced.
In fact, the situation of most magical beasts is very similar, such as the Chimera and the Manticore.
The difference between giants and ordinary magical animals is that they have more social attributes, but due to their lack of intelligence, they cannot tolerate too many of their own kind around them.
This created a situation where giants appeared in large numbers, but fights often broke out within the group.
In fact, the decrease in the number of giants cannot be blamed entirely on wizards. The direct cause is internal strife.
Grawp had a rough personality, and the relationship between him and Sai was tense at the beginning, and there would be small frictions from time to time. Sai didn't understand giants, and it was difficult for him to control the strength of his attacks, so sometimes it was inevitable that some skin would be scraped off, and some blood, flesh, and bone residue would be spilt.
Sai has always been a frugal and environmentally friendly person. Since Grawp threw away the unwanted scraps, he had to collect them reluctantly.
…………
Time flies when one has something to do, and in the blink of an eye it was already late May. The Examination Management Office of the Ministry of Magic sent an official letter requesting all professors to submit question banks.
Sai had prepared it in advance and delivered it to Professor McGonagall that day.
It is worth mentioning that the question bank submitted by Umbridge was rejected, and she was directly told that the question bank from previous years would be used.
The old professors in the examination group did not give Fudge any face at all, and Fudge would not make things difficult for them because of this; what's more, Professor Marchbank had previously had a disagreement with Fudge over the investigator issue and had even resigned from the Wizengamot at that time.
No one dared to underestimate the power of this old lady. At that time, the Daily Prophet framed Professor Marchbank for colluding with goblins, but it was only a flash in the pan and soon there was no further news.
No matter how hard they tried, the examination team that came to Hogwarts to supervise the exams were still the same people from those years.
Sainz has great respect for these old professors in his heart. Their presence ensures the fairness and justice of the exams.
After two weeks of exams, the ones who are really tired are not the students but the invigilators.
The magic exam is not just a written test, the real tiring part is the students' actual practice. Compared with other professors, Sai is better, after all, it is an elective course.
The exam was over and the papers were marked. The students' scores were all pretty good, at least above the passing line, with no particularly outrageous results.
If there is someone who really hands in a blank paper, Sai will advise him not to take the election again next year.
That afternoon, he was drinking tea with a few friends and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, everyone, for finally ending your student days."
"We have been studying hard every day for a while," Ben let out a long sigh, "Now we can finally take a break. By the way, have you been to the twins' magic trick shop?"
Sainz nodded and said, "I've been there twice. They're doing pretty well. Business is booming, even better than those old shops."
Angelina said with emotion, "I never thought they actually had a talent for business."
Alia smiled and said, "Even if you don't believe them, you should believe Sainz. He invested in them two years ago."
Angelina smiled teasingly, "Hey, when did you become a die-hard fan of Sainz?"
The others were obviously interested in this as well. "That's right, what happened?" Adam agreed.
Alia admitted it generously and stood up exaggeratedly, "Let me introduce to you solemnly, this is my boss, Mr. Autumn!"
"Boss?" x3
"Yes, boss!"
"what happened?"
Sainz sat on the sofa without moving, and he smiled in response to Alia's teasing.
"What boss? You know, I have a magic lamp...but I just haven't had the time to put it on the market. One day I asked Alia if she would be willing to help me take care of it. Fortunately, Alia is also somewhat interested. That's it."
The other three looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly. Sainz pretended not to see it and said, "I definitely don't have time. If the magic lamp business becomes bigger in the future, if anyone has time, you might as well help Alia."
Adam said exaggeratedly, "I didn't expect Miss Spinnett to become a big boss soon. If I have nowhere to go, I'll come to you. Please don't kick me out."
The other two also joined in the fun, saying, "And me, and me!"
Alia pretended to be serious, "Then I have to interview you properly!"
"Hehehe..."
"Hahaha……"
"Hey hey hey..."
After a while of laughter, the topic inevitably turned to their future careers. "Angelina, did Holyhead Harpy write back to you?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon." Angelina was a little anxious.
"That's normal," Adam comforted her. "As far as I know, they usually recruit new students in early July every year. It's still early, so don't worry."
Angelina said, "I know, but I don't know if they have any plans to recruit new members this year. It's really hard to wait for the trial."
The others had no choice but to comfort her and tell her not to worry.
Ben said his father had submitted his resume to the Alien Office of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
Adam said that his travel plan has been drawn up. He plans to go to Africa first and then to America...
Sainz became interested, "If you go to America..."
Before he could finish, several others said in unison, "We will definitely help you collect some local books!"
Sai touched his nose and continued, "Well, especially the complete set of textbooks of Castroshe and Ilvermorny!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and said, "Ugh~"
Sainz didn't take it seriously and was about to fight back when he suddenly had an idea, "Everyone, please do as you please. I have something to do and need to go out!"
After saying that, regardless of the strange looks from everyone, he stood up and walked out the door...
