After announcing how the Defence Against the Dark Arts class would be examined, Lockhart continued, "Due to the venue and the staff, our exams will be grouped by grade and house, and the first exams to be conducted today are Gryffindor and Slytherin. ”

Hearing this, all the people in the classroom felt that putting Gryffindor and Slytherin together for the exam, or directly engaging in magic confrontation, Lockhart was really not afraid of big things, this didn't make it clear that there was no revenge for revenge, there was revenge, there was no revenge, it was made now!

It is conceivable that if this method of examination is retained, in addition to the House Cup and the Champions Cup, Hogwarts will have an additional Defence Against the Dark Arts class score ranking......

"Before that, I'm going to explain the basic procedure to you, first, both sides stand together and salute each other, then turn around and leave, each walk five steps away, face to stand, get ready, when you hear the command, one side will attack first, the other side will defend, and then exchange."

"These two rounds are to test your mastery of offensive and defensive spells, and below, the third round, free fight!"

"The rules are very simple, there is no set of attack and defense side, when the count starts, both sides are free to choose attack or defense, and the defeated side is considered negative, note, you can't use spells that can cause serious damage in the exam, of course, I don't think you either, this is to test your ability to use spells flexibly, after all, in real battles, no one will attack like this......"

Listening to Lockhart's explanation, Darren muttered in a low voice, "What, this wizard duel is the same as when people used to duel with pistols!" ”

"Pistol duel? What is that? Ron next to him asked.

"It's an ordinary person, oh, a Muggle duel, the rules are the same as this, the two sides leave with their backs, and then shoot each other, of course, there are differences in details, such as the beginning and the first two rounds, shooting each other alternately, being hit is considered a loss, generally speaking, the challenged side comes first, after all, he is a victim of some degree of interest."

"However, this is because the musket technology at that time was extremely bad, even at a distance of about ten steps, the hit rate was still extremely touching, so in fact, there was not much difference between hitting first and then fighting, anyway, it all depends on luck, and even the number of shots was stipulated during the duel at that time, if both sides were fine after a few rounds, even if the duel was canceled, maybe they turned around and sat down together to drink, of course, there are also those who never die, that is, 'life is endless, and the battle is not stopped'."

"Later, with the progress of musket technology and the improvement of the shooting hit rate, no one stupidly let the other party shoot first, because it was purely looking for death, at this time the rules became like the third round, free shooting, both sides heard the password and started shooting at the same time, the competition was reaction speed and shooting accuracy, but at this time, the importance of the rules was greatly increased, because the temptation to fire first in violation of the rules was too great, for example, it is said that Pushkin was killed in this way, so there were many conflicts because of this at that time, From a duel between two people to a collective fight, or even a family vendetta. ”

"Oh, so Muggles are quite interesting, that, who is Pushkin?"

“…… A very famous Muggle. ”

At this time, Lockhart had already finished explaining the rules, "Well, since Professor McGonagall is busy, I have invited Professor Snape to assist me in my demonstration today, and I hope that the students can watch our actions carefully, this demonstration will only be once." ”

Then, Lockhart turned his head to look at a corner of the classroom, and then everyone realized that at some point, Professor Snape had walked in, he walked to the table in the middle of the teacher with an expressionless face, and when he saw Snape, there was a "hissing" inhalation sound from the audience, and Darren pulled Hermione away from Lockhart, don't let him smash it!

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other, Lockhart bowed slightly, and Snape just shook his head impatiently, and then they raised their wands above their heads and pointed at each other.

"As you can see, we hold the wand in a normal duel position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd, "count to three, and we'll start casting the spell, and in gratitude to Professor Snape for his cooperation, he will attack first in the first round, and a third person will need to be counted in order to be fair," he turned his head to look around, "Harry, I think you're a good fit." ”

"Me?" Harry was a little caught off guard by the sudden name of Lorhar, but by this time he had already been pushed out by the others, "Harry, it's simple, be louder," Fred or George said.

"Oh," Harry looked at Lockhart and Snape, hesitated, opened his mouth and began to count, but his voice was really not that loud, if it weren't for everyone else closing their mouths, the classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin on the ground, Darren really doubted that Lockhart and Snape would be able to hear clearly.

"One, two, three!"

As Harry spoke, Lockhart and Snape jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time, and Snape shouted, "Get rid of your weapons!" With the sound of the incantation, a dazzling red light flashed from his wand, and he rushed towards Lockhart.

"Armor protection!" At the same time as Snape attacked, Lockhart also recited his incantation, only to see the red light emitted by Snape's wand, which seemed to hit something before hitting Lockhart, after a slight pause, changed direction and flew out of the table, grazing the top of the students' heads, and then hit the classroom wall with a loud "bang", leaving a large charred mark on it.

"Wow!" At this time, the students in the classroom realized what had just happened, and they all exclaimed loudly, which was mixed with, "So handsome!" "That's cool!" Sounds like that......

And Darren, who was originally squinting, widened his eyes in shock, Lockhart actually blocked Snape's attack, he couldn't even deal with the Cornwall elves, this is not scientific!

"That's it! All right! Be quiet! Lockhart shouted, and the classroom quickly fell silent at his words, and it was clear that his performance had raised his reputation a lot.

"It's the first round, Professor Snape is in charge of attacking, I'm going to defend, and then it's the opposite, I'm going to attack, I'm going to skip this part to save time, I don't think Professor Snape would mind one less chance to demonstrate his defensive charm," he shrugged, and there was a burst of laughter from below, and Snape's face was clouded, but he didn't say a word.
