Chapter 498: Learning to Fight (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
At the reading party on the second Saturday of school, Ryan arrived at the party early. Because today is the time for the members of the reading club to make a decision on whether to learn to fight or not, it may be for this reason that others also came early today. After seeing that all the people below were here, Ryan simply started today's activity in advance.
To his surprise, everyone chose to want to learn to fight. When asked why, Zhang Qiu's answer was the most representative. "It's true that I don't like war, but the problem is that even if I don't take the initiative to approach it, war is coming straight to me now. In this case, learning a little bit about combat skills will at least allow me and my important ones to survive this brutal war. ”
Yes, to live, what a small wish. And in war, such a small wish is difficult for people to fulfill. Ryan sighed silently in his heart, then nodded and said to the people below, "I will teach you how to fight, these methods are not necessarily powerful, and they are likely to look inconspicuous." But I promise to teach you the experience of countless people who have learned in the bloody war, and will help you survive this war. ”
Next, after quickly solving the schoolwork problems, Ryan and Hermione took turns on the field to let the members of the reading club learn to fight directly in the battle through actual combat drills. They are also taught some combat-friendly magic, such as an extremely simplified version of Professor McGonagall's fire-wielding combat style.
Everyone practiced very seriously, especially when they learned new magic, which sometimes hurt themselves occasionally. But the injured student just applied a little of the potion that Ryan had given him to the wound and continued practicing. It wasn't until the time was close to curfew that they stopped practicing. After instructing everyone to pay attention to safety when practicing, he stood on the podium and watched everyone leave before packing up his things and stepping out of the classroom, where Hermione was waiting for him at the door.
"I always feel that practicing like this is more dangerous, and everyone is too anxious. On the way back to the common room, Hermione said with some concern. "Can you find a way to let them slow down a little bit next time, after all, they are only students now, and this kind of practice is too stressful for them. ”
"I don't think it's a problem, and I think it's just the right way people are practicing right now. Ryan said in a low tone, "The members of our book club are either ordinary people like the Creevey brothers, or they are destined to face mysterious people like Neville. In situations like these, they may need to step onto the battlefield at any time to defend themselves or those important to them. I think what they need more now is to improve their strength quickly, and as for security, I think we need to pay more attention to it and minimize the damage they will suffer. ”
"Damn the dark wizards, I really don't understand why they would poison the old and weak women and children, obviously these people are not a threat to them. Hermione clenched her hands into fists and spat out the words between her teeth.
"Because this is war, war, it has never changed. Ryan sighed. "So that's why we're bloodied on our hands, and hopefully that will allow as many innocent people as possible to survive. ”
The war affected everyone, and the next day they had breakfast to find Hannah Abbott, a member of the reading club, depressed, and inquired only to learn that Eloise Meadgan, a member of their college, had dropped out. His father moved to the United States with the family.
This was not the only example, as Hermione had heard in her dorm room last night that Parvati Petyr was also leaving Hogwarts, and that their father was not feeling safe in England and was going to take them back to their home country in India. But she and her twin sister didn't want to leave school, because the UK was their real home compared to their homeland, which they never returned.
Of course, many people choose to leave for good reason. While Ryan was eating, Neville walked over and handed Ryan a very short open letter that he had received this morning. The sender is Hannah Abbott.
In the letter, Hannah Abbott told Longbottom that she had been woken up by Professor Sprout at 2 a.m. yesterday and had gone straight to St Mungo, where she had escaped with serious injuries after her mother had been seriously injured in an attack on her home, and had not been out of danger until half an hour earlier. So she may need to take a leave of absence to take care of his mother at St. Mungo's for a long time recently.
The reason Neville showed the letter to Ryan was because Hannah expressed her gratitude to Ryan in a very grateful tone. It was because of Ryan that her mother bought the highest level of protective bracelet for the first time. And it was the bracelet that blocked the two spells that came from the attack, giving her mother a chance to launch an emergency escape to escape. If it weren't for this bracelet, it is estimated that her mother would have been killed yesterday.
After saying goodbye to Neville, who was beaming with a happy face, Hermione said that she was going to finish reading the copy of Anomaly Transfiguration that she had borrowed from the library's forbidden section yesterday. Therefore, Ryan can only go to the Quidditch pitch alone to watch the selection of this year's Gryffindor team. On the way, they saw Ron interacting with Lavender from a distance. However, when Ryan rushed over and found that the participants were already on the field, he had to shrug his shoulders and climb to the stands.
At the beginning of the primary, there was nothing to see, and there was even a group of first-year freshmen who couldn't fly. After seeing that there was no one around, Ryan simply took out a Mithril plate from the space bag and carved it. Since alchemy consumables were needed in many places after the outbreak of the war, he was going to make an alchemy table that could mass-produce low-level alchemy products, and now he was making the core alchemy array plate used for operation on the alchemy table.
Just as he was carving out the flow of mana, he felt a man sit next to him, and he turned his head to see that it was Hermione who had just arrived from the castle.
"Looks like I arrived just in time. Hermione looked into the middle of the field and said, "Harry probably hasn't picked all of his players yet. ”
It was the final goalkeeper selection that was underway, and Cowmike McLagan saved five balls in one go. Fortunately, with Lavender's encouragement, Ron also saved five balls.
"Ron, come on, I believe you're the best!" Lavender shouted as he put his hand to his mouth. At this point, Harry decided to play an overtime match in order to select a goalkeeper between Ron and Cowmike. After hearing Lavender's shout, Ron in mid-air first looked below, and after seeing who shouted, his whole face turned from green to red, looking very excited.
"That's it. Seeing this, Ryan said to Hermione, because Ron is a nervous knife player, and his overall level is greatly affected by emotions. And now the energetic Ron should be said to be in the best condition.
Sure enough, in the following competition, Cowmike McLagan made a mistake on the 11th ball, and Ron finally qualified as the goalkeeper. Ryan and Hermione came down from the stands to congratulate him.
After leaving the court, Harry and Ron decided to visit Hagrid, and while Hagrid was not angry that they hadn't signed up for classes this year, Harry still felt the need to visit. As he did last weekend, Ryan used Hermione as his cover and ran to the centaur village in the Forbidden Forest to treat the werewolves brought by Lupin.
The werewolf brought this time is a former Auror named William, so he only needs a little guidance from Lupin after the treatment is over, and he can quickly figure out how to use the giant wolf's body. Taking advantage of this time, Lupin told Ryan about one of the things he had been worried about lately.
"We're getting more and more here, and I'm worried that werewolves will be brought in, and probably not just in the UK. ”
"What's wrong with that?" Ryan asked curiously, "Mystery people can find helpers all over Europe, why can't we also go to Europe to contain those werewolves who want to live a peaceful life?" As far as I know, neutral werewolves are the majority. We may be able to draw most of the werewolves to our side in the future, which will also weaken the power of the mysterious man in disguise. Why are you worried about this?"
"My main concern is that our farm is saturated. Lupin said what he was worried about, as for the land, it was enough, and it was a big deal to grow some magical plants that required a lot of manpower in the future. Lupin has recently discovered that treated werewolves have a special affinity for nature, and are no worse than wizards of some professions when it comes to cultivation.
"Don't worry, there's plenty to sell when you grow something. After hearing what Lupin was worried about, Ryan smiled and comforted him.
