Chapter 354 Psychological Counseling 4

Lockhart is a lazy and greedy lad who wants neither hard work nor glory and praise.

His character is not noble, and even if he is harsh, he can be considered base.

This is very different from his glamorous appearance.

But Afu didn't show any distaste and belittlement, she still looked indifferent.

This undoubtedly calmed Lockhart's restless and beating heart very well.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to live an easy life, and it is not an unspeakable ambition to want to live an easy and glorious life.

There is always an inert part in human nature.

People are always more prone to indulge in pleasure, more eager for flowers and applause, lights and praise.

This is understandable.

Although Lockhart's "ideals in life" at first glance make people feel that he is whimsical, and even points at him from the commanding heights of morality, but——

Who wouldn't want to have such a life?

Everyone laughs at Lockhart, everyone belittles Lockhart, but everyone wants to be Lockhart.

Afu can understand Lockhart's thoughts, everyone has their own way of life.

Some people strictly regulate themselves, while others indulge in pleasure.

Some people constantly improve themselves in pursuit of spiritual satisfaction, while others indulge in material abundance and strive for success.

No matter what kind of life you choose and how you choose to face life, it is everyone's own right, and no one else can comment on it, but the premise is that it conforms to social public order and good customs, and does not bring negative effects to others.

The Lockhart in Afu's memory obviously does not meet this premise and has gone astray.

But fortunately, all his wrongdoings have not happened yet.

"But...Student Lockhart, haven't you really tried hard?"

Afu did not directly give Lockhart a solution, but questioned Lockhart's "not willing to spend time learning" in his self-report.

"I remember when you were in the first grade, your grades in all subjects were still excellent."

"In the second grade, although your final grades were not as impressive as those in the first grade, they can still be said to be good."

"You only experienced a serious decline in grades in the third grade, and this state has continued until now."

"If it's because you can't keep up with the difficulty of the courses that increase with the gradual increase in grades, but you have also experienced a significant improvement in a certain subject several times during this period, what is that?"

Afu clicked on the h9 in his hand (yes, it is already the ninth generation), listed the results of "Gideroy Lockhart", and clicked a few times, and the score statistics that were originally in the form of a table became one. A line chart with various colored lines.

On the line graph, each colored line represents the grade of a subject.

On Lockhart's performance line chart, the overall performance is in a downward trend, but there will be a few broken lines that occasionally "struggle" and "rise up" in the overall downward trend.

Afu's words are implying that Lockhart is actually not as free and easy as he said.

"Only if you have read materials in the library day and night in order to get o for your homework, you will know that it will make you feel ashamed."

"Only after trying to catch up with others' progress all night, will you know that your efforts are actually doing nothing."

Afu reveals Lockhart's real hard work under the disguise of pretending to be relaxed and indifferent, word by word.

"Because you tried, worked hard, and spent more time in private than others, you were able not to lose to other little wizards in the first and second grades."

"But soon, you find that the courses are getting more and more difficult, and hard work can no longer bridge the gap in talent."

Lockhart's face became more and more ugly following Afu's words. At this time, he looked like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body and his body curled up.

I want to hide all my embarrassment, and I want to block out all temptations, either benign or malicious.

He didn't want to recall the self who worked hard day and night.

I don't want to recall the hardships of putting in a lot of effort to catch up with others.

I don't even want to recall the hopelessness that no matter how much energy and time you put in, it is far inferior to the results that others spend a little bit of effort on fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

After realizing that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make up for the gap caused by his talent, Lockhart sat there for a long time that night.

There were no lights in the dormitory after the curfew, only the cold and distant stars and moon dimly illuminated everything in front of him.

That night was as cold as water, and he felt like falling into an ice cave.

Lockhart, who was originally not very strong psychologically, fell into a slump.

'It's better not to waste time in the first place than to work hard but get nothing. '

Such thoughts began to stir up trouble in his mind, and soon occupied all his thoughts and dominated all his actions.

The occasional rise up in the middle is just a momentary excitement, a flash in the pan.

What's more, the unsatisfactory results after every hard work also strengthened his idea of ​​"giving up hard work".

"So. Student Lockhart, what happened recently, which caused your original thoughts to be shaken, are you willing to come to the professor for help?"

Yes, seek help, not counseling.

The idea of ​​"giving up the effort" was the conclusion Lockhart reached through his own experiments. During this period, he also further confirmed the correctness of his idea through several "trials and efforts".

He has taken this idea as a standard and has fully integrated it into his daily study life.

If there are no special emergencies, he will not try to overthrow the "truth" he has concluded.

Moreover, Lockhart said in and out of words that he wanted to live a "easy and glorious" life, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He didn't think he had a psychological problem at all and needed counseling.

He was just asking Afu for help in the name of psychological counseling!

Ask Afu for help on how to get rid of the status quo.

------

Lockhart in the original book is just a piece of shit, even a minor wizard can defeat him. It seems that all the talent points have been added to the Forgetting Curse, but the mastery of the Forgetting Curse did not appear out of thin air, he must have worked hard practiced.

And since he has practiced the Forgetting Curse, he should have worked hard in other aspects. Lockhart is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to make his life better. If he can improve himself by practicing hard, then He will not fail to make an effort.

But the fact is that apart from the Oblivion Curse, he has no achievements at all in other areas, so we can speculate that his talents in other areas are actually very poor.

Moreover, the process of discovering his talent in the Forgetting Curse is definitely not easy. Under the premise that we speculate that his other talents are not satisfactory, he should have tried all the directions one by one before he discovered that he had forgotten Mantras can make this so good.

After all, it is very risky to use the Forgetting Curse to steal other people's adventures and write a book and publish it in the world of wizards. If his Forgetting Curse is slightly worse, and the wizard who is cast by the Forgetting Curse remembers it, he will be finished.

He must have started doing bad things after he was sure enough about his Oblivion Charms.
