Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 The Way a Battle Should Be (Two in One)

Ever since his school days, Lockhart had wanted to express himself.

Perhaps the fact that he was the only one in the family with magical talent gave him the illusion that Lockhart's vanity was unprecedentedly inflated when he first entered Hogwarts.

But it is a pity that although he is indeed smart and his grades were very good during school, he is unwilling to try, and instead puts all the smartness bestowed on him by God on bragging and showing off.

For example, Lockhart once told his classmates that he would make the Philosopher's Stone before graduation, lead the England Quidditch team to the World Cup, and become the youngest British Minister of Magic in history.To this end, he begged the headmaster at the time to allow him to create a school magazine, engraved his name on the Quidditch pitch in twenty-foot letters, and even projected his head into the sky.

Like the Dark Mark.

At that time, what Lockhart did made everyone feel disgusted, but almost all the professors felt that as long as he put these smarts on his studies, he might not be able to achieve a career.

This is indeed the case. When Lockhart put his mind on writing, he did become one of the best-selling authors in the magic world.

However, due to not using magic for a long time, Lockhart's magic level has dropped to an unimaginable level, and it is almost impossible to recover.

Only the Forgetting Charm, because of its frequent use, still maintains a very high level.

In truth, Lockhart was well aware of his situation, but years of admiration had swelled him even further.

"I'm so smart, I will definitely regain the feeling of casting spells back then!"

"I just need a little pressure, just a little!"

Ike felt that Lockhart must have thought so in his heart, so he spared no effort to hold the dueling club and recruited Snape as his assistant.

"Because of some things last semester, I think our little wizards need to get some training to deal with possible crises."

Lockhart lifted his robe, put his hands on his hips, and smiled charmingly: "After some exchanges, Dumbledore allowed me to open this small club."

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape!" Lockhart pointed to Snape, and Snape also nodded slightly at the right time, but the degree was hardly noticeable. If it wasn't for the slight movement of his hair, he wouldn't have noticed He nodded.

Lockhart didn't care, and still said loudly: "He told me that he knew a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to help me do a small demonstration before class!"

"I said, I don't want to worry you little guys..." Lockhart showed his shiny teeth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will return your Potions teacher to you intact !"

"Now, let's get started!"

As soon as the words were finished, Lockhart and Snape stood facing each other, bowed to each other, and then raised their wands to their chests.

"As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling position. On the count of three, we cast the first spell at the same time!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Almost at the same time, the two raised their wands over their shoulders and released a spell.

"Except your weapons!"

Snape's wand emitted a dazzling red light and hit Lockhart fiercely. The wand in his hand came out of his hand and landed on Snape's hand in a whirl, and he was knocked into the air , Hit the wall with a "bang".

Just like in the cartoon, slowly sliding down the wall, then curled up on the floor.

Seeing this scene, except for some of Lockhart's die-hard book fans, almost all the little wizards cheered, and they didn't know whether it was because of Lockhart's tragic situation or because of this clean duel.

"Everyone saw it!" Lockhart staggered back to the stage, straightened his messy hair and clothes, and said, "This is the disarming spell, the most common spell used by wizards in duels!"

"If you get hit by the disarming spell, you will lose the wand in your hand like me."

"Professor Snape's use of this spell is really wonderful! Of course, I have discovered this a long time ago, and if I want to stop it, it will be effortless."

Perhaps seeing Snape's face turned a little colder, Lockhart turned his attention to the little wizards off the stage.I clapped my hands and said loudly: "Okay, that's all for the demonstration! Next, I will divide you into two groups and play against each other, just like just now!"

With that said, Lockhart walked off the stage, shuttled among the crowd, and divided the young wizards who were still in a state of excitement into groups.He was very efficient and quickly divided into sevens and eights.

Snape also came down, and was the first to call out Harry and Malfoy, forcibly divided the two into a group, and pushed Harry towards the stage, saying, "Malfoy, come here quickly! You are teamed up with the famous savior!"

"Let's see! What are you capable of! Potter!"

Malfoy strutted onto the stage, with a three-point complacent and seven-point vicious smile, took out his wand, and held it in front of his chest first.

Lockhart, who was still grouping the little wizards, saw this scene, ran back quickly, and shouted, "Potter, Malfoy, face your partners!"

"Remember the demonstration just now? First, bow!"

Harry and Malfoy were motionless, staring at each other intently.

"Raise your wand and get ready! When I count to three, I will unleash the magic!"

"one!"

"two!"

On the count of two, Malfoy swung his wand suddenly, knocking Harry staggering.Not to be outdone, Harry took the opportunity to fight back. Malfoy was hit by a silver light, and he immediately bent down and panted heavily.

Harry was still hesitating whether to continue casting spells, Malfoy also seized the opportunity, a dancing spell hit Harry, and Harry's legs unconsciously began to tap dance.

"Stop! Stop!" Lockhart screamed, trying to stop the duel on the stage.But at the same time, the little wizards off the stage were also fighting together, all kinds of mischievous spells and poisonous spells were flying around in the air, some hit their opponents, and some flew to nowhere .

The little wizards actually didn't have any exact concept of the power of the spell, which made the audience far more chaotic than the one on the stage.Some were injured and bleeding, some were covered with scabies, and some simply gave up their wands and stretched out their hands to fight.

Miasma, nothing more than the case.

Lockhart yelled, but no one heeded, he couldn't even stop Malfoy and Harry, who were still lamely casting spells at each other on stage.Still Snape, perhaps felt that the chaotic situation was not good, and stopped the farce on stage with a spell.Then he aimed the wand at his throat, and after a loud curse, he spit out a word coldly.

"Quiet!"

Snape's deterrent power was still there, and the little wizards stopped their movements unconsciously.Scanning around with emotionless eyes, the little wizards in the audience shrank their bodies unconsciously like quails.

"You're the dumbest students I've ever met!" said Snape. "Now, watch the stage!"

"Malfoy, Potter! Round two!"

Lockhart was about to say something, but Snape went straight to the countdown.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

This time, Malfoy was the first to cast the spell, raised his wand and shouted: "Oolong comes out of the hole!"

Harry saw the tip of Malfoy's wand explode, and a long black snake emerged from it and landed on the stage.The head of the black snake was raised high, and it made a piercing sound.

The little wizards in the lower grades had never seen such magic, and they backed away screaming.

Perhaps seeing Harry motionless, as if he was very frightened, Snape said lazily, "Don't move, Potter, let me get him away..."

Just as he was about to make a move, Lockhart shouted "Let me do it" and cast an unknown spell at the black snake.

The black snake was hit by the magic, it jumped up to the old height, and fell back heavily on the stage.

Lockhart's magic obviously angered it, the black snake bared its fangs, and began to wander around the stage, with its head facing the little wizards in the audience, spitting out its wicks non-stop.

Seeing this scene, Harry seemed to be possessed, and unconsciously took a step in the direction of the black snake, his throat moved, and he was about to make a sound.

At this moment, a red light flew from below the stage and fell directly on the black snake.Black Snake then collapsed limply on the stage, a ray of fire suddenly appeared on his body, which turned into black ash in a blink of an eye.

Snape stepped forward suddenly and pulled Harry, who was still standing there, aside, almost falling over.It was Ron and Hermione who supported him in time, so that he didn't fall off the stage.

"Stryder..." Snape drew the end of his voice very long, his eyes fixed on the direction Ike was standing in.

Under the gaze of almost everyone, Aike Shi suddenly walked to the side of the stage, saluted slightly, and said "Professor".

"I probably forgot, you don't seem to be assigned as a dueling partner?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Then, come on stage!" Snape turned to give up a space, "I'll be your partner! Let me see what you're capable of!"

"Okay, Professor."

Ike nodded, and his body floated directly onto the stage, standing opposite Snape.

Neither of them moved, they just looked at each other, but both Lockhart on stage and the little wizards off stage felt an inexplicably tense atmosphere.

Lockhart stepped back unconsciously, and just as he was about to say something, Snape said, "Stryder, when you're ready, you can start."

"Okay, Professor," Ike agreed, holding his wand up in front of his chest, and Snape did the same.

After looking at each other for a moment, Ike swung his wand violently and shouted, "Disarm!"

A red light flashed, Snape waved his wand at the same time, just stopped Ike's disarming spell, and with a flick of his wrist, the same red light flew back.

Ike did the same and also broke Snape's disarming spell.

The first bout between the two of them was like a mirror image, almost exactly the same.

"Don't hide your abilities, Ike." Snape said, "Real battles don't allow you to hide!"

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Ike.Ike didn't panic, moved his left hand slightly, and a silver-white shield appeared in front of him, just blocking Snape's magic.

The right hand didn't stop, and with a slight wave, it was the same shattering curse, and the left hand moved at the same time, and the black ash transformed by the black snake turned into an arrow, which shot towards Snape.

"Armor protection!"

Snape shouted, the Iron Armor Curse was put on his body even when Ike Smash Curse was shot, his left hand was stretched forward, and the arrow turned by the black snake split in the air, turned into black ash again, and fell on the stage .

"Burning flames!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Smashed to pieces!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Ike cast spells one after another, and the lights of various colors alternated with each other, hitting Snape like a storm.Snape didn't even move, the silver-white shield in front of him blocked all attacks, even if Ike changed the attack direction of the spell, it would immediately block Ike's magic.

Behind him, on his calves, and on the back of his head, Snape showed powerful magical abilities, and he seemed to be able to do anything with ease. He even said, "Still rigid! Too rigid!"

"Move your head, the battle is not straight!"

Ike didn't say anything, he also wanted to see where his current limit was, and Snape was undoubtedly a very good opponent.

On the waste notepad system, Ike had no chance to fully release the series of Lv6 spells.In most cases, he uses the silent and battleless version, which is definitely less powerful than the one that utters the spell.

In fact, even in this battle, Ike couldn't do his best.Under the eyes of everyone, the black magic mastered by Ike and the ancient magic learned from the Ravenclaw manuscripts and the Sorcerer's Stone could not be used at all.

But even so, it is enough, and it is nothing more than a glimpse of the leopard.

Snape kept it airtight, and could always seize the gap between Ike's attacks to fight back. Every time, he could shatter Ike's Iron Armor Curse, and his own Iron Armor Curse, as if it had no limit, was still strong.

The battle between the two stunned almost all the little wizards in the audience. They had never seen such a fierce magic duel intuitively, especially Hermione, her two useless men, Stuart and others, even if they had known Ike's strength is very strong, but they never imagined that it would be able to fight Snape without losing the wind.

Ike didn't have time to look at the surprised faces off the stage, and he was a little anxious in his heart after being unable to attack for a long time.

At first, I thought that with those Lv6 spells, even a professor could easily suppress them, but after fighting, I realized that the difference between young wizards and adult wizards is not only in magic power, but also in understanding of spells and combat experience.

As a wizard who has experienced wizard wars, Snape's combat experience is undoubtedly rich. His grasp of the use of spells and the timing and rhythm of casting spells even made Ike feel a little desperate.No matter how he attacks, what magic he uses and from what direction, Snape can defuse them one by one with ease, and his casual counterattack will always disrupt Ike's rhythm just right.

"He hasn't done his best yet!"

Ike is well aware of this.

Thinking of this, Ike gritted his teeth secretly.With a violent wave of his wand, the floor in the middle of the stage was rolled up, and he turned into a dragon in the air and attacked Snape.

The dragon covered Snape, and at the same time, two crushing curses hit the ground.

Snape remained unhurried, pressing down with his left hand, the silver-white shield split into two to block the spell, and swung his wand with his right hand towards the sky, as if an invisible force had passed by, the dragon split in half directly from the middle.

Ike didn't think that the dragon transformed by the transfiguration technique would cause trouble for Snape, he just wanted to cover Snape's sight.

Even if it's just a blink of an eye, it's enough!
Through the slashed gap in the center of the dragon's body, Snape saw a dazzling golden light.It was a magic circle floating in the air, on which were many ancient runes that also shone with golden light.

Ike suddenly felt that time became very slow. He saw the cut dragon floating slowly like paper, and also saw Snape's Iron Armor Curse slowly appearing. Slow down.

The wand was lightly tapped on the magic circle, and a dazzling golden light emanated from the magic circle, drowning Snape in the next second.

The golden light bombarded for several seconds, shattering the stage behind Snape.

Ike panted heavily, and the wand was still on the magic circle, maintaining the output of magic.

He wondered if this magic could defeat Snape.

Unlike Comrade Xiaofu, Snape was at the peak of a wizard, and his strength was much stronger than the remnant soul trapped in a Horcrux for decades.

And even Comrade Xiaofu could escape from this magic at the last moment, let alone Snape?

Suddenly, a red light flowed upstream from the golden light and hit the magic circle directly.In Ike's surprised eyes, a crack appeared on a rune on the magic circle.

"Crack!"

Ike seemed to hear the sound of glass shattering, and the magic circle suddenly shattered.At the same time, another red light hit Ike's body, and the wand in his hand came out unconsciously.

Looking up, he saw Snape raise his hand to catch his wand.His face was the same as before, and the black robe was still the same, but the stage beside him and behind him had turned into ruins.

Ignoring Ike, who was leaning on his knees and panting heavily, Snape scanned the stage with his cold eyes, and with a wave of his wand, the broken stage slowly returned to its original state.

"Professor Lockhart, I leave this to you."

After coldly saying something to Lockhart who was hiding far away, Snape came directly to Ike and asked a question.

"Can you still go?"

"Okay." Ike stood up and replied.

Looking at the dense sweat on Ike's forehead, Snape nodded, walked off the stage, and walked out of the auditorium.

"Come on! My office."

Stuart and others who rushed over waved their hands, and Ike grinned, turned and followed.
