Chapter 55: Winning
The timing of the counterattack came with Fran's leg-locking spell that shattered protection.
In fact, Fran didn't use a silent spell to surprise Britney Spears, as she said. In fact, Fran herself couldn't figure out why Britney was suddenly speechless like a duck stuck in her neck.
Although the silent spell technique can be said to have a surprising effect, the additional mana consumed is also huge. Fran was carried away by anger in the first place, and the burden of ancient magic was already too great for her to have, so she didn't have the kind of sparing or the rationality to do something that required such elaborate planning.
However, the opponent suddenly loses the ability to resist, and Fran, who is doing the 'garbage collection operation', is naturally happy to see it. And she soon discovers to her chagrin that even with a huge advantage, it is still difficult to break Britney's pesky tortoise shell - she doesn't look like a stupid academic standing and casting spells at all, but rather a bit like a catcher who taught her how to fight during the summer vacation at the Ministry of Magic!
This little girl, who was only in the third grade, not only failed her spell by relying on her dexterous skills, but was even able to abandon the unnecessary reserve and face that normal girls uphold, and rolled on the ground in an indecent posture to remove the impact of the spell explosion.
And the most important thing is that in the face of the three unavoidable spells that flew in an instant, she was able to make a trade-off quickly - selectively avoided the most powerful of them all, the Stun Spell and the Crushing Spell, and at the same time relied on the protection of the iron armor to eat her own fire spell.
Merlin, she moves like an old wizard who has been reborn from actual combat!
As a result, in order to deal with the slippery loach, Fran had to maintain a high-speed dense spell attack to suppress her space of movement. The method was clumsy, but it worked, and after a few minutes, the frenzied exertion paid off, and after a storm of blows, she managed to push Britney into the corner of the narrow stage.
A leg-locking spell pierced the magical protection of the end of the crossbow and slammed into Britney's thigh—his legs immediately pressed together and a look of horror on his tense face.
Oh my God, it's finally over......
Fran's heart was relieved, and she was surprised to find that she actually felt the emotions of happiness. However, there was no pause in her hand, and with the precise swing of her wand, the few remaining magic powers in her body were once again gathered together-
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes while she was reciting a coma spell, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
She immediately realized what she had done wrong. Just subconsciously closed his eyes, and the magic power condensed in the wand lost the control of his mind and the lock of his gaze in an instant, and suddenly lost its casting target. The fidgety magic lost its way and was instinctively repelled back into his body by the wand, causing a small storm within him.
"Uh-huh!" Fran felt a sudden and terrible swelling in her arm, and she snorted in a magical backlash, almost unable to hold the wand in her hand.
More than a dozen feet away, Britney's legs stood awkwardly against the fence like solidified cement pillars, with a look of luck and sudden realization on her face. She held her wand flat in her hand—its tip glowing white.
The spell was all too familiar, the fluorescent spell, but ...... How did she do it?
Fran opened her mouth wide as the crowd shouted.
————————
If it weren't for the embarrassment and criticality of the situation, it is estimated that Brandi would not have remembered that he still had the fluorescent spell mark that he had just completed a few days ago in his wand. It can't be helped, who makes the Fluorescent Spell no more effective than other spells, almost completely useless in the bright place......
Fortunately, Brandi is not an ordinary person with an old-fashioned way of thinking, and the moment he was controlled by the Leg Lock Charm, he suddenly remembered the excessive amount of magic he had cast when he first tried the Ultra Magic Prefix—naturally it was not as effective as the flashbang of the Ultra Magic Fluorescent Charm, but at that time, even the brightness of just an ordinary light bulb was enough.
Seeing that Fran was in a temporary spell of revolt due to the interruption of the spell, Brandi was finally able to concentrate on the corresponding countermeasures. Keeping an eye on the target, getting rid of distractions and silently reciting spells, the technique of silent spell casting is not very complicated to put it bluntly, but the magic cost is a little too much, and after Professor Flitwick briefly mentioned the relevant points, Brandi has tried many times what it is like to chant a spell without saying a word - if he can be made to stand still, he can easily do it.
It's just a little slower.
How slow is it, probably in a wizard duel, a silent spell casting spell is enough time for Brandi to die a dozen times.
That's why Brandi was pressed and beaten from the beginning, and he couldn't even find the opportunity to fight back from beginning to end, and Fran's spells were so dense that he would hardly have time to stop and take a breath!
But now, here's your chance.
After being suppressed for a long time, Brandi, who had successfully hit a real fire, gritted his teeth and stared at Fran who was trying to suppress the magic of the rampage on the other side, she still had a protective charm on her body, so she had to be taken down in one fell swoop in a more direct and brutal way - it seems that the only possible way to do it without the supermagic prefix is to ......
He took a deep breath.
Spell magic, clear water like a spring!
Screams rang out from the crowd.
With a vigorous swing, Brandi's wand spewed out a stream of water—at first, it was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl, but as Brandy's absolute magic continued to press into the wand, the water suddenly turned from a trickling stream into a rushing Thames like a flood. The raging water roared towards the unprepared Fran, and a simple Spring Charm couldn't break her protection, but it could lift her feet off the ground with a powerful impact!
That's enough.
"No!!"
Fran's roar was instantly drowned out by the waves, and she was swept up by the current to the edge of the stage. The protective spell of the venue suddenly took effect, and a golden wall blocked the surging water and dissolved it into nothingness - but Fran was not so lucky, and even though the water disappeared, the strong kinetic energy caused her to crash into the railing, and she tumbled over it, landing on the carpet outside the stage.
There was a moment of silence in the arena, followed by the stammering voices of the commentary seats.
"Uh, what's this, what is this, brilliant idea! Miss Spears after using a silent fluorescent spell to interfere with Fran's gaze, forcing her into a magical backlash. And cleverly used a powerful silent wellspring spell to push Fran out of the stage fence! Oh my gosh, never thought there would be such a way to win a duel - the Iron Armor Charm doesn't work on the thrust of the water! In the same way, there has never been a precedent for victory in such a disparity in strength! With Merlin on top, Miss Spears was chased by Fran for almost the whole audience, but it was the last resistance that plucked the fruits of victory for her! ”
"This battle has shown us that even daily spells can be amazingly powerful under special circumstances." The narrator stretched out his voice and roared loudly, "Let's congratulate Miss Spears, she got Hogwarts off to a vital start!" ”
Brandy, who had escaped in the real sense of the word, leaned feebly against the railing, lazily not wanting to move, and saw Akihari and Katie, who were dancing together, and Wendy Mabel, whose eyes were full of little stars—her excited eyes looked like she wanted to jump up and rush into her arms to spoil the little girl.
"Britney! Well done! ”
A cheer of surprise rang out near him, and strangely enough, it was actually Beauxbatons' area. He followed the applause and was surprised to spot Anna and Audrey, who were jumping up and down happily on top of their seats, cheering him on. Paying no attention to Madame Maxim's face as ugly as having eaten a big lump of mustard, the boy next to her couldn't help but poke Anna in the back and say something to her, but what he got was an answer he didn't understand.
He didn't understand, but Brandi laughed, and Anna crossed her waist domineeringly, and started a national curse in English.
"I'm cheering what's wrong! The old lady is a serious Londoner! ”
————
Because of the leg lock charm, Brandi was carried off the stage, and the doctors at the school hospital below easily helped him regain his freedom, but they couldn't make him speak again, and finally had to attribute the problem to Fran's silent spell was too strong, so he had to hastily stuff him with a bottle of potion, telling him that it would be over when he went to the school hospital for another examination.
Fran was in much better shape than Brandi, she only fell from the fence and didn't even bruise. However, this time it made Fran revert to the state of a weak little girl, and after remembering what had just happened, she hurriedly ran over to apologize here, and when she bowed desperately, the tears in her eyes could fall at any time.
Of course, after such a battle, Brandi could no longer associate the words Fran and the little girl.
Madame Maxim came to pay a visit, as usual, and of course she was delighted all over her face. When she asked Brandi if he could still participate in the follow-up battle, the latter quickly shook his head, he was now full of thoughts about how to sneak out of the dueling arena and go back to the dormitory to drink medicine to keep him safe. Seeing Brandi shake her head, the smile on Madame Maxim's face was a little more real.
"That's a shame, and I hope to provide more practical experience for our players." "Speaking of which, as one of the few students who can master silent spelling in the third year, Miss Spears, you must be Professor Dumbledore's protégé." ”
Merlin was on top, Brandi was almost not angry by this sentence, and worked hard for a long time, and in the end, Professor Dumbledore took the credit! I'm a good Hogwarts who doesn't wait, and I get this kind of evaluation when I put on my skirt and come to your school to get beaten!
Forget it, Dumbledore's bad old man is ...... If I could, I really wouldn't want to see him again.
And after that...... That's when it's the most embarrassing.
This was probably the pinnacle of Brandi's life - a dozen flower-like girls ran through the crowd, one by one spreading their arms and excitedly like peach blossoms, and almost jumped up to hug and offer fragrant kisses.
To be reasonable, although Brandi is really looking forward to this kind of glamorous scene...... But at the very least, you have to be a boy to be upright! Just thinking about the hell on earth if he was discovered, Brandi immediately sweated profusely, and he shook his hands desperately at them, jumped up from his chair and fled to the other side - this seemed to be seen as a sign of shyness and shyness, causing the girls behind him to stop and laugh merrily. The bright smile made the boys next to Beauxbatons stunned.
Running away to the other side of the arena will only end up being succeeded by another group of people. Brandi, who was trying to find a chance to slip away, was suddenly grabbed by his robe, and he had to reluctantly turn around, but to his surprise—it wasn't just Anna and Audrey behind him. And the heavily armed Fleur Delacour.
Eh, it's strange, is there anything wrong with Fleur finding herself at this time?
Brandi gestured as he shook the medicine bottle in his hand and signaled that he wanted to go to the school hospital to rest.
"Hmm...... I'd like to ask you a favor. As a result, Fleur didn't seem to want to congratulate him. Her dark blue eyes blinked twice, and there was a somewhat anxious look on her face. "My sister Gabrielle, as I mentioned to you, told me she was coming to see me play...... About ten minutes ago I went outside to visit the castle - she loved the magic lawn on the porch, I mean, I might be playing in a moment, so ...... Can you help me get her back. ”
Brandi pointed at himself with a confused expression. He really couldn't figure out why Fleur had to choose himself.
Unexpectedly, Fleur actually understood what he meant. Her beautiful face was stained crimson.
"You know, my sister has a unique ...... Well, glamour. The kind that's even stronger than me. She hesitated and said, "Normal people will be more or less absorbed in Gabrielle's words, and completely forget what he is going to do." Of the people I know, it seems that you are the only one who can resist this natural charm...... So, help~"
In the end, Brandi couldn't resist Fleur's sudden coquettish tone, and nodded her head with a bloody face.
And Anna and Audrey's words are much simpler.
And it's much more important, and the important thing is that Brandi broke out in a cold sweat at that time.
"Britney, did you mess with Professor Deken?"
Brandy couldn't remember who it was for a moment, and he tilted his head curiously.
"Professor Deken, that's the one you and Audrey met on the road when we went to the vegetable patch to get rid of insects." Anna said solemnly, "At that time, there was someone next to him who taught you wizarding etiquette, the one from the Ministry of Magic...... Professor Mary. Do you remember? ”
"You better be careful, there's a good chance he's not going to work against you. We all saw it when you suddenly couldn't speak, and it wasn't a silent spell that Sister Fran used on you at all - it was probably Professor Derkon who was secretly casting a spell! Anna said.
"Both eyes were glowing red, like laser pointers. And as soon as he leaves the dueling arena, you can suddenly recite the incantation again, so either he has a deep grudge against you, or Madame Maxim has come to prevent you from winning, and you had better tell your people - have you listened to me? ”
He listened, and this time.
Something exploded in his mind.
Then, as they watched in amazement, he pulled his legs and rushed out.
