Chapter 146: Senseless Compassion
"That's unnecessary sympathy, Hermione. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Lupin slowly stood up from the ground, gently patted off the glass shards attached to his body with his free hand, scattered them all over the place with a rattling sound, and then looked at Hermione with a stunned expression on his face.
"As I said, I should be a dark wizard from the moment I walk through the door, and when you defeat me, you should quickly confirm that I am still conscious, and if so, then you should add another spell instead of a flood of compassion for healing. Lupin's voice grew harsh.
"But......" Hermione was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lupin.
"There is no reason. At this moment, Lupin's tone was extremely serious, "It's still the same sentence, there can't be any luck, if I am really a dark wizard, then Hermione, your actions will kill these few of your companions." ”
Hermione's face was as white as paper, it was the first time for her to make such a harsh criticism, and her eyes turned red in an instant, but she also knew that Professor Lupin was for their good, so he changed from his usual pleasant face to his current expression.
"I'm sure you'll learn a lot from this battle. Lupin nodded, and after the criticism, he still chose to praise his students, and in all fairness, the students did a good job this time.
"Now that I officially declare this practical contest over, we can now return to the position of students and teachers and live in peace. Lupin nodded.
"Recover quickly. Lupin cast spells on several fallen students one after another, although Lupin set his role as a dark wizard, but he still kept his hand, after all, he was his own student, and it was impossible to really be ruthless.
Lupin looked at the students in front of him who had regained their senses, slowly groped, and stood up from the ground, although their faces still maintained a serious look, but there was still a lot of praise in their eyes.
"Well, Seamus, your explosion magic is very good, very powerful, but you still need to add a little more accuracy, and the spell that can't hit people, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless. Lupin touched his chin and pointed at Seamus in front of him.
Seamus, who had been complimented, blushed as soon as he brushed it, making one suspect that he hadn't heard the criticism at all.
"Harry, making good use of props is a good quality of a wizard, but you can never completely pin your hopes on props, they are dead things, only people are alive. Lupin's eyes drifted to Harry, who had already taken off his invisibility cloak, and his face turned a little red when Lupin said this, and he could only bury his head in looking at the floor that had been cleared.
Lupin then commented on the performance of several other students, and they were generally satisfied.
"And then there's you, Hermione. Lupin's gaze finally rested on Hermione's.
"I can fully guess that the strategy of this battle was formulated by you, and I have to say that you know the characteristics of each of them very well, give full play to their strengths, and understand my previous hints very well. Lupin said as he waved his wand and cleared the shattered glass shards from the surrounding into the trash can on the side, and at the same time bent down and lifted the dilapidated chandelier lying on the ground with his other hand, "Your basics are also solid, and you immediately discovered my idea after I used Transfiguration on the table, but unfortunately your teammates didn't fully follow your commands. ”
Speaking of this, Ron couldn't help but bow his head in shame, he only felt that his blood was boiling, and his fighting spirit was excited, it was the first time in his life that he used the magic he knew so freely, and he usually didn't have the opportunity to get sparring at all, so he didn't notice what Hermione said at all.
"Of course, your smashing spell was also cast well, and you successfully used the contradictions between the laws of magic, so at that time, I decisively gave up this passive defensive tactic and chose to take the initiative. Lupin's face now completely returned to a pleasant look, and he looked at them with a smile.
"The Iron Charm is a very practical spell, and if you can master the casting skills of the Silent Charm at the same time, it will have a great effect on you, and when the opponent thinks he can knock you down, it will also cause him great frustration. Lupin stared at Neville and said, Neville's disarming spell was resisted by the Iron Armor Charm.
Neville's round face nodded again and again, at that time, he saw that his spell was ineffective, and it was obvious that he doubted himself, from inferiority complex to self-confidence, it is not something that can be achieved with a few casual encouragements, over the years, the doubts of others and his own doubts work together, it is not easy for Neville to have such a performance today.
"So, Neville, you can be a little bit more confident. Lupin said encouragingly, "Even in my experience, I can see that you are very proficient in disarming spells, not even worse than some professionals, but now you are not old enough and your magic power is not strong enough, which leads to the lack of power of the spell." ”
"If you can make up a spell more decisively, the barrier formed by my spell should be completely broken, so believe in yourself, humility is a quality that a wizard should have, but it is definitely not presumptuous. ”
When Neville heard this, he remembered why he had practiced the spell in the first place.
"There is no one to rely on, friends can help you for a while, but can't help you for a lifetime, sometimes, you can only rely on yourself, don't you want to be able to completely rationally refute someone's difficulties for you one day?"
"People's confidence often comes from their own strength, systems and frameworks are used to restrain the weaker party, Dumbledore must have asked our headmaster not to engage in targeting and discrimination in class, but when did you see when he heard these advices?"
Malfoy's words rang in Neville's ears again, and it was one of the most important reasons for him to practice the Disarming Charm, hoping that one day he would be able to fight back completely when he was being harassed, and not go against the grain.
Looking at the look of perseverance in the eyes of this chubby male student, Lupin's smile became more and more satisfied, in his opinion, compared to learning a few combat skills, the soundness of the heart is the most important, excessive inferiority is never a good thing, in the long run, it will distort a person's personality, he would not have thought that Peter Pettigrew, whom they once trusted so much, would become a traitor.
In the soil of jealousy and inferiority, there is a bad fruit called betrayal.
