Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 677 First Experience

Hermione was already familiar with manipulating these pieces of armor. As her wand fell, the jingling and scattered pieces of armor under the wall collapsed forward and made throwing gestures. , and the chilling atmosphere in this extremely oppressive scene immediately made Ron's expression change.

"and many more!"

Ron, whose face turned pale, suddenly shouted. He was breathing rapidly facing the armors that were preparing to attack, and sweat was already dripping from his forehead.

"Do you have any experience? I mean, can you teach me the tips on avoiding armor attacks?"

The trick?

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, not knowing how to answer Ron's question for a moment.

Harry frowned and pondered, recalling the destructive journey along the way, trying to find some patterns, but after careful recall, it seemed that he couldn't find any tricks. All he could remember was to focus on dodging and dodging. Then gradually it became easier.

"You have--"

After searching through his training memories, Harry finally found something. In Ron's expectant eyes, Harry said with difficulty, "Well, you can't just think about passing the blockade. Ron, you have to pay attention to the movements around you at all times, because the big dung eggs thrown by the armor will attack you from multiple directions."

Ron still looked at the two of them expectantly, hoping to hear more valuable advice.

"Your dodge must be precise, Ron—"

After just a short moment of silence, Hermione also shared some of the key points she had summarized.

"You have to stay calm at all times. This is very important, because only in this way will your movements be accurate. In other words, you'd better not start dodging the moment the armor launches an attack, but wait until the big shit egg gets close to you. Taking action when the time is right will help you conserve your energy and cope with the next attack."

Hermione's words were more profound. Ron frowned in thought, trying his best to understand what Hermione said.

"I do not understand--"

After a while, Ron shook his head,

"Save your energy. Okay, this is not difficult to understand, but why do I have to wait until the big shit egg gets close to me before I start hiding? If I get out of the way in advance, wouldn't it be safer?"

"Professor Brain made these armors imitate our opponents in duels to the greatest extent. They can capture our position at any time. Think about it, Ron-" Hermione said quickly,

"If you are in a duel, if you dodge too fast, your opponent's dodge path will be exposed, and your opponent will not stand still. He will further block your living space, consume your physical strength, and let You get flustered, and then there are flaws. Therefore, your avoidance must also be deceptive--"

What Hermione was talking about was already very professional dueling knowledge. This kind of knowledge would not be mentioned in any other magic education course. Even Professor Blaine did not tell them this at the time, but just let them practice it. Realize it yourself.

“Dodging need to be deceptive?”

Ron looked confused. He did not underestimate the difficulty of the training designed by Professor Brain, but he did not understand the many details hidden in this seemingly simple training.

"Wonsky fake, Ron."

Harry suddenly spoke, and Ron suddenly understood the metaphor.

In a duel, although dodge seems to be a passive response, it can also turn passivity into initiative. You can use your dodge to induce the opponent's attack. On the one hand, this is exchanging physical energy consumption for the opponent's magic power consumption. On the other hand, it is On the other hand, if your opponent is never able to attack you, this will also bring great psychological pressure to your opponent.

These are extremely practical dueling skills and concepts. For great magicians like Professor Brain or Professor Dumbledore, they don’t have to think so much when fighting with others. Their strength is enough to crush them, but for most magicians who are not strong enough, It is extremely valuable for wizards in the ultimate realm.

"Any more, Harry and Hermione?"

Aside from his Quidditch skills, Ron had rarely shown such a thirst for knowledge.

But it is a pity that Harry and Ron have no more experience to share with Ron. Many things can only be truly mastered by groping step by step in pain. "Take off your robe, Ron--"

Ron stood in front of the starting line again, and Hermione gave an urgent reminder,

"Although magic can help you clean up the stinky juice, it can't completely eliminate the unpleasant smell."

"Be prepared, Ron—"

Harry swallowed. He felt that watching Ron train was more stressful than playing on the field himself.

"The weight of the big dung egg is not light!"

Ron grunted twice, responded to Harry and Hermione's reminders, and then focused all his attention on the front.

The armors that could be seen everywhere in the castle suddenly became scary in Ron's eyes. He also remembered that when the Gryffindor students first conducted this training, they returned to the common room every night. Exhausted and lifeless, how will he behave?

Ron heard that Neville showed amazing talent in this training. He and the crazy girl from Ravenclaw seemed to be the best in this class, even as genius seekers. Harry was not as good as him. This result surprised many people. However, it also proved from the side that Professor Blaine's vision was indeed amazing. He must have seen something a long time ago, otherwise, he would not have chosen them. Serve as a teaching assistant for this course.

"Maybe I can surprise people too," Ron cheered himself up in his heart, trying to convince himself that all this was not so scary.

"It's just a Quidditch game, except there are a lot of Bludgers."

Hermione's clear commanding voice fell to the ground, and Ron's mind, which was full of messy thoughts, suddenly became clear.

call!

The evil wind whistling in his ears as he ran rapidly was forgotten by Ron. All his attention was focused on the armor on both sides that maintained a throwing posture, and a high degree of concentration and determination also gave Ron With his usual observation skills, he discovered that the moment he jumped over the starting line, an armor forty feet away to the right in front made the first move!

Well, stay calm and don’t rush to avoid it!

Ron suddenly remembered Hermione's reminder just now. He stared at the armor's movements with wide eyes and saw the armor's raised arm swinging forward.

I can avoid it!

Ron, who could see the armor throwing action, was ecstatic. Although the arm of the armor was waving so fast that it left afterimages in the air, he could still barely see it!

Stay calm and don't rush to avoid it!

Ron, who was leaping in the air, reminded himself again, but his eyes were filled with joy, and he even couldn't wait to see the big dung egg attack.

After the starting line, Ron silently looked at Ron whose attention had been completely attracted by the big dung egg on the right, and even the direction of his body had shifted. He involuntarily pursed his lips, and sympathy flashed in his eyes.

call out!

The moment the big dung egg left the palm of the armor, Ron's unconscious expression of joy immediately froze, but was replaced by horror!

too fast!

Being able to capture the trajectory of the arm of the armor does not mean that he can capture the flight trajectory of the big dung egg. The thrown big dung egg appeared ten feet in front of him almost the moment it left the palm of the armor. , as for how it crossed the space of thirty feet before that, Ron didn't see it at all.

What Hermione had asked was completely forgotten by Ron at this moment. His instinctive reaction completely dominated his body and mind at this moment. The moment his feet landed, Ron jumped to the left with all his strength!

Sa!

Ron felt that his potential had been unleashed at this moment. However, the big dung egg that came from the front to the right still flew past the side of his face. But it didn't matter, he dodged it, didn't he?

boom!

Ron was just congratulating himself in his heart, but he was shocked to find that everything in his field of vision was deflected strangely, and his body seemed to have lost its balance.

Ugh!

It wasn't until he fell heavily to the hard floor, the unbearable swelling pain in his calf, and the smell of feces and egg juice blooming between his noses that Ron realized that he had just been hit.

What's going on? I obviously avoided it, didn't I?

Ron, who was moaning in pain while holding his leg, had this confused thought in his mind.

"I already told you, Ron--"

Hermione raised her wand to stop the armor, and Harry walked over with sympathy, lowered his head and said to Ron,

"You have to have eyes and ears to listen to all directions."
