Chapter 447: Unity is Strength
"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, today's 'Defense Extra Course' will officially begin! But before I do that, I would like to make some comments on your self-practice......"
In the responsive room, it is still quite spacious as the last time. Flat floors, well-equipped equipment, and an atmosphere with a hint of tension all make for an excellent setting for Defence Against the Dark Arts training.
And in the center of the room, Maca was standing in front of the young wizards, giving a speech before the start of the class tonight.
Truth be told, after another unexpected incident, everyone has become more eager for those real Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Although by the time everyone assembled, many people had already noticed that there seemed to be five or six fewer members of their defense team.
With the exception of Luna, who is still recuperating in the hospital ward, and another Ravenclaw, the rest of the absentees have been taken away from Hogwarts by their parents.
Obviously, the turmoil of suspension and withdrawal from school also affected the defense team.
"Through some small tests on everyone just now, I can see that everyone has learned more or less." "I know there's a lot of information, but you can study and practice it at your own pace. As I said last time, I don't have a time limit when I have to finish them. ”
"Remember, it's okay to learn slowly, but you have to learn carefully and accurately. You cast a fixed spell at a fixed amount of time, with a fixed speed and trajectory – trust me, it's important! ”
At this, Maca suddenly paused.
"Well, as for why it's 'important,'" he emphasized, he then explained, "and with today's training, everyone will understand. ”
After that, I saw him beckon at random, and a training doll that was originally resting on the wall of the room flew in and landed firmly beside him.
The doll appeared to be made of some kind of hard black wood, and its smooth surface was faintly reflective in the light.
Its upper body is similar to the anatomy of the human body, while the lower body is a sturdy bracket, which makes it look like the kind of mannequins used to display tops in clothing stores.
On the head and chest of the training puppet, there is a target painted in red paint.
"We're going to use this today—"
Maca patted the dummy on the shoulder, and everyone looked a little excited—it meant they were about to have a chance to practice casting spells.
"Of course, I can understand your excitement. In fact, today we're going to focus on three very useful spells that, while not too difficult, have always held a pretty high place in wizard duels. ”
"I think everyone knows that most of the wizarding circles in various countries have held dueling tournaments, and there are many wizards who have participated in them over the years. However, because dueling tournaments are usually quite dangerous, they ...... At least our 'All British Wizard Duel Tournament' has been called off for years......"
"I've looked up the stats for the major wizarding dueling events, and while the players have used more spells than Merlin's beard — you know, all sorts of spell-derived spells or weird ways to use them — I can't go on and on. But among the countless spells, there are some spells that have a very high probability of being used. ”
"The first spell I'm going to talk about today is the most frequently used spell in statistical materials - the Iron Armor Charm!"
Before the words fell, some of the little wizards had already begun to react. Within the scope of the LS exam, some students have apparently already learned.
"Yes, that's right—" Maca held out her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "As everyone knows, the Iron Charm is very easy to use. Because its spell is short—only three syllables, and its swing trajectory has an incredible degree of freedom—"
With that, Maca took out an ordinary wand and casually gestured in front of her.
"As long as it's a straight line! Whether you're swinging horizontally, vertically, diagonally...... Even if you swing it backwards, you can cast this spell normally. "But because it's so easy to get started—even too easy—it's even more difficult when people want to make the spell more powerful." ”
"As far as I know, the vast majority of adult wizards can cast Iron Armor Charms, but how many people can cast relatively good Iron Armor Charms......" Maka said, spreading her hands, "You should understand what I'm trying to say. ”
After looking to see if everyone was listening, he waved his hand.
"Now, take out the information I sent to you and turn to the pages about the Iron Armor Charm." While waiting for the young wizards to go through the information, Maca paused for a moment before continuing, "As mentioned in the information, the Iron Armor Charm can withstand a limited amount of magical attacks, but it can bounce off or even bounce off the spell that hits you. ”
"So, when we use it, we can actually use our steps to find a suitable bearing angle for it, so that it can stay with us for a longer time......"
"In addition, it is somewhat resistant to physical damage, such as rocks and wood...... However, I suggest you use some other spell. ”
"Hmm...... As for the best trajectory for swinging the staff, be careful – it's straight down! "As mentioned in the data, the Iron Charm requires both 'firmness' and 'resistance', and waving your wand downwards will help you focus quickly—"
"Mar-Professor McLean?" Hermione suddenly raised her hand.
"Any questions?" Maca asked.
"But the information also says, 'Swing the staff along the opponent's spell trajectory, and with the dodge of the pace, you can minimize the consumption of the Iron Armor Spell'?" Hermione said with some confusion.
"That's right," Maka nodded, "but that's going to be a lot of trouble for you right now. When you become more familiar with it, you will understand how to make a trade-off without me telling you. For now, let's practice with the most effective swing trajectory! ”
"Oh...... All right. Hermione still seemed a little overwhelmed.
"Okay," Maca didn't say anything more, but saw him look at everyone again, "Then there's the second spell I'm going to introduce today—the Disarming Charm." ”
"Yes, at Hogwarts, the Disarming Charm was taught earlier than the Iron Armor Charm just now, and I believe most of the students present have already learned it. And from my previous tests with you, the information about this spell has been well rewritten. ”
"So, the next thing is to learn by doing!"
"Oh! It's finally time to give it a try! ”
Most of the young wizards drew their wands, as if they couldn't wait.
"Looks like everyone is ready," Maca said as she waved her wand at the training doll and slipped it directly into the doll's hand, "So, let's get started!" ”
"Except for your weapons!"
Because Maca didn't let them line up one by one, when he gave the order, almost all the students who were crowded in front waved their wands.
For a while, the sound of mantras came and went, and the red flames flashed continuously, and bursts of brilliant light splashed around the puppet.
The iron armor spell that Maca had put on the training doll was quickly broken, and immediately after, the wand on the doll's hand flew high and slammed into the ceiling, causing the doll itself to fall out.
"It's okay, let's stop!"
Maca beckoned, and the wand flew back to him.
"As you can see, the Iron Armor Spell I cast was quickly broken. Obviously, being a large number of people is usually a powerful advantage. "But who can tell me how I can make the most of the strengths of the collective?" ”
"Cast a spell at the same time! Cast spells at a fixed point! Maca said in a loud voice, "If the spells cast by everyone are too scattered, a wizard who is strong enough can even bounce them all out of the way without missing a beat—yes, with the Iron Armor Charm." ”
"But what if everyone's power is cast on a wizard at the same time...... Believe me, even Voldemort can only hide! ”
"What about you?" Ron asked subconsciously.
"Oh-" Maka shrugged, "don't think I'm so good, of course I'll have to hide." ”
Maca believed that as long as these students could train their coordination skills carefully, a group of four or five could easily solve a dark wizard. And when they all gather, they can even pose a big threat to Voldemort or Greenwald at a certain time.
"The last spell is the 'Stun Charm,'" Maka continued, "and it was chosen for the same reason as the two spells above—simple and functional!" When it ......"
As Maca finished explaining the last spell of the day, the formal training began.
From the initial training of the Iron Armor Charm to maximize the defensive power, to the later coordination training of the Disarming Charm and the Stun Charm, and even finally Maca added the training content of the array salvo. If someone else sees it, they will probably report it to the Ministry of Magic immediately.
Because no matter how you look at it, it's like you're training an army of wizards.
At the end of the training of the defense team that night, although the young wizards felt extremely tired, they also had a feeling of blood boiling.
"I think...... We should probably make a name," Hermione suddenly looked at Maca, "it would bring us together, wouldn't it?" ”
“…… Name? Maca muttered.
