Chapter 616: Is It—Dead?
In fact, the assessment of the Black Magic Defense can be roughly divided into two stages.
From the first level assigned by Professor Sprout to the fourth level assigned by Professor Snape, it is mainly used to test the students' mastery and application of the content of each major course, and at the same time show the students some magic skills.
Although the difficulty of the levels set up seems to be a bit high at first glance, considering that the "assessment of the Dark Magic Defense" is in the form of a three-person team, if the students can carefully prepare, learn from each other's strengths, and combine the strength of the three little wizards, it is not as difficult to complete the level as imagined.
According to the predictions of Elena and the professors of the school, if the students of the four houses can put aside their previous grievances and unite together, cross teams, and have something in common, most of the little wizards will actually be able to stumble forward to the end of the fourth level.
Therefore, the credit compensation reward for this copy is also set up at the fourth level.
As long as the team of young wizards can successfully pass the fourth level, all of them are equivalent to achieving good results again in the practical assessment of the four disciplines of potions, herbs, transfiguration, and charms at the end of the year (e), and if they have already obtained a good one, they will be promoted to excellent (o), and if they have obtained excellent, they will be promoted to excellent plus (o?).
And from the fifth level onwards, it is the final assessment of the real "Defence Against the Dark Arts".
Due to the fact that it involves real magic battles, only by passing the first four tests and proving that you have reached the passing standards in the reserve and flexible use of magical knowledge can you be eligible to enter the subsequent actual combat simulation, which is also a safety lock set up by Elena and the professors after several discussions for those students who are not fully prepared.
"Are you ready? After this door, there is no standard answer to answer. ”
Standing by the door leading to the fifth level, Elena looked at the three little witches in front of her and said with a serious face.
"Wand preparation, the next three levels are all magic actual combat assessments, and there is no limit to the way...... And the only hint is that all the creatures that appear in it, except for the three of you, will be your enemies. ”
"So...... Behind the door, are those giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Not necessarily, it could be something else, as the keeper of the level, I can't reveal too many details. ”
"Magic Battle......
Hermione looked at Elena thoughtfully, unbuttoning her robe on her chest and placing the black wizard's robe on the table in the room, as Luna and Hannah took off their clothes.
After a year of studying Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, they understand the importance of flexibility in magical confrontations, and ordinary wizard robes can hardly defend against spells and impact damage.
As a witch with magic, the less fabric you have in the way, the higher your defense.
Glancing at the two jealous companions around her, Hermione looked at Elena's chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked curiously at the magical illusion that had turned into a bright yellow question mark on the top of the white-haired ball's head.
"By the way, Elena, do you have any side quests to help you get through the next level?"
"Well, yes...... As the only group with a lower level of difficulty than the first grade, you can get a little help. ”
Elena nodded earnestly, and as she spoke, she couldn't wait to hand Hermione the little lo-mei she was holding in her arms.
After waiting for four levels, she finally had the opportunity to complete her quest for the NPC and give the warriors the strongest cheat carefully prepared by the masterminds and close friends behind the scenes, the SSR-level god pet [Three-Headed Dog of Hell]
Although she had not been able to play a role before due to various reasons, after reaching this level, Elena could finally use her privilege to open a little back door to the little wings to help them ...... more smoothly
“...... We can't ask for this. ”
Hermione was silent for a moment, then silently handed the three little milk dogs back to Elena.
Looking at the small lo-mei that returned to her hand, Elena was slightly stunned and said a little anxiously.
"Eh?!Why?! Don't look at it stupidly now, throw it out when it's in danger, it's very reliable!"
"Whew!"
"I know, we all know how good Louis is in adulthood. But!"
Hermione nodded, patting Xiao Luwei's head gently, a hint of stubbornness on her face.
"Because of this, this kind of cheating behavior is even more unacceptable to us, and it is not easy to reach the fifth level through our own strength, I don't want to rely on the strength of Lu Wei to win the final reward with this disgraceful means. ”
Although according to Mr. Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", as well as the Ministry of Magic's Magical Beasts Danger Rating, the Three-Headed Dog, the Fire Dragon, and the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider are among the highest XXXXX dangerous creatures.
But in fact, this hazard rating is assessed more from the point of view of aggression.
If you divide it in terms of danger and threat level, an adult three-headed dog that has awakened the ability of fire can almost sweep through the nest of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, and even some small-sized adult fire dragons may not be able to defeat the "enhanced" version of Lu Wei in full physical condition.
For Hermione, cheating was worse than failing an exam.
On the other side, Luna Lovegood nodded approvingly, although she didn't speak, her eyes had already made a choice.
Yes, if it was really just to get the final reward, she might as well ask the white-haired dumplings for gold coins - she knew that there was a mountain of gold gallons hidden under Hogwarts, and when they first met, Elena stuffed her with a lot of them.
Originally, she came to participate in this "test of dark magic defense" for fun, and Luna didn't plan to rely on cheating to clear the level.
As for Hannah Abbot, who drank the potion of courage, the potion of joy, and the potion of sorrow in one go......
Under the mixed effect of the medicine, Xiao Tieniu's state at this time is extremely excited, to use a more appropriate description, that is-she doesn't care what the opponent is, nor where the opponent is, she only knows that she is going to kill next!
Just when everyone wasn't paying attention, Hannah had already filled up the state on her body and was waiting to push the door and set off.
Looking around at the confident little wings, Elena shrugged helplessly.
"Well, since you insist, then I can only wish you good luck......"
Anyway, she will be by her side for the rest of the level, and if something really goes wrong, she can intervene at any time, after all, this is also one of Dumbledore's requests to agree to her to introduce magical combat into the castle.
It's not the next level of hunting assessment, after all, in previous years' Defense Against the Dark Arts class, there was also a similar assessment.
The most important thing is that the assessment form of the sixth level is ......
Elena's eyes flickered, and without any more hints, she took out the invisibility cloak from the pink purse she carried with her and gently draped it over her body, silently disappearing from the sight of the three of them.
As the girl's figure disappeared, there was a clicking sound from the originally locked fifth gate.
The actual combat assessment has begun.
............
As soon as they pushed the door open, the three Hermione smelled a disgusting stench.
It was the smell of smelly socks mixed with a public toilet that had never been cleaned, and the stench brought tears to the girls' eyes, accompanied by a strange muffled grunt and the sound of huge feet dragging on the floor.
Hermione subconsciously held her breath and looked up.
A troll at least fifteen feet tall wandered the empty room, with a granite skin as gray and rough, a large and stupid body as a huge pile of mud, with a small head like a cocoa bean on top of it, and a knee-high right arm dragging a thick wooden stick, and a disgusting thigh like a tree trunk attached.
Apparently noticing the noise coming from the doorway, the troll stopped and turned to look at the door.
The troll wagged its long ears awkwardly, looked at the three pale-faced little dots in front of it, made a decision with its small head, and soon a fierce look appeared on its ugly face, and strode over, raising the stick in its hand.
Hermione Granger seemed to be stupefied in the face of such a rampaging ugly giant, the wand raised in her hand trembling incessantly, and the words in her mouth seemed to be thinking about what kind of spell to cast.
Before entering the door, she had always thought that she would be dealing with some big spiders, not such monsters.
Trolls, to be precise, mountain trolls, are at the level xxxx of the British magic part, have high magic resistance, have infinite strength, are in a state of irritability most of the time, like to eat raw meat, and will be caught by everyone from wild animals to humans......
Countless pieces of information about trolls drifted through Hermione's mind, and most of the books on how to deal with trolls were about using the troll's stupidity to lead it into traps or slowly knock it down from a distance.
However, the book does not write about the specific method of knockout......
Hermione looked at the trolls getting closer, her mind going blank and she couldn't even pronounce the full spell.
If she had changed the scene, or had known in advance what she was dealing with, she would probably have been able to find several spells to solve this ugly big guy, but for some reason, the spells in her mind seemed to be clouded with a layer of fog at this time.
However, the troll that howled and rushed towards it did not give her much time to think, and the wooden stick waved in its hand with the sound of the howling wind, as if it wanted to smash the three little human girls in front of it into a pulp of flesh at once.
"Faint!"
A dazzling red light flew across Hermione's cheek and struck the troll's gray skin.
Luna Lovegood raised her wand and quickly cast a spell, but the spell hit the troll's skin and did not react, as a little witch who was not yet eleven years old, the magic in her body was too weak.
The girl's spell slammed into the fifteen-foot-tall behemoth, and she couldn't even hinder its movements, and she felt the provoked troll let out an increasingly terrible snort, and the large wooden stick in her hand smashed down without stopping.
Underneath the big stick, Hermione, still standing still, limp.
Luna let out a terrible, terrified scream, pulling Hermione aside with all her might.
"Hermione, be careful!"
And on the ugly and hideous face of the troll, a touch of destructive satisfaction gradually appeared, and in its stupid little head, the sight of the human cubs in front of it had begun to appear to be destroyed by its big stick.
Bang!
With a dull crash, the whistling wind suddenly stopped.
"Uh-huh......! It hurts......"
Hannah grinned, gasped, and gripped the tip of the huge stick tightly with both hands.
The troll's movements stopped instantly, and it blinked stupidly, as if it didn't understand why its large stick hadn't been able to smash a few weak human cubs into the air, and roared to pull it back from Hannah's hand.
It's just that in the face of Hannah Abbott, who has already cast a triple enhanced magic text, it didn't get its wish for the first time.
Hannah tightened her face and grabbed the stick in her hand, staring fearlessly at the troll's big ugly nose in front of her, gritting her teeth and squeezing a few words out between her teeth.
"Hermione, don't be in a daze! quick, use your ...... Exploding Spell! Its strength ...... Older than me, I can't hold on...... Too long...... Or can you help me make a ...... The big stick came out...... Okay......"
“bom、bom......”
Hermione nervously raised her wand, her lips trembling violently, and subconsciously shouted out a voice that came to mind.
“explosion maximum!”
A dazzling white beam of light pierced the air and slammed into the troll's chest, erupting into an extremely strong wave of qi, all of which were directed in the direction of the troll's location, and a crack bloomed on the seemingly indestructible gray skin.
"Whew-"
Caught off guard by the attack, the troll subconsciously let go of the wooden stick it was holding, staggered back a few steps, and let out a howl of pain and rage, and the terrible sound echoed through the empty room, bringing layers of echoes.
Bang!
Before the troll could react, Hannah rushed forward with a determined look in her eyes, picked up the stick in her hand and swung it vigorously at the head of the original owner of the stick, and struck it hard one by one.
Bang!
“explosion maximum!”
Bang! Bang!
“explosion maximum!”
The troll swayed in place and fell face down on the floor with a thud that shook the room.
After a long time, Hannah gasped and stopped, shaking and panting.
Hermione Granger stood still, staring at what she had done, her wand still held high in her hand.
Finally, Hermione took a deep breath and spoke first in a trembling tone.
"Is it—dead?"
