Chapter 40: Red Phoenix Substitute Teacher
In the martial arts class the next day, Harry and several of them came to the playground on time, in recent days, Li Qingzhu has come to the time very little, most of the time he comes to show his face and leaves, in his words, Harry's learning progress has reached the point where they don't need his guidance, and then what they lack is the problem of experience against the enemy.
So for more than a week, after they came to the playground, they did not wait for Li Qingzhu's arrival stupidly, but very consciously began to catch and compare.
As for the object, does Harry still have any doubts about Hermione, Draco or Neville?
Harry and Hermione were okay to say, they were just a friendly exchange, and that was the end of it, but Draco and Neville were different.
Draco had been honest for a day or two since that private fight had been stopped by the Red Phoenix, and it wasn't long before he started provoking Neville again.
Maybe the lesson given by the Red Phoenix impressed Draco, and he didn't even bring up the matter of a private duel after that, anyway, he could do it openly in class now, so why risk his life and risk being expelled to teach Neville a lesson?
So now Draco doesn't play with those yin things, he just does it in class, and no one can say anything about him.
In martial arts class, Neville always loses more and wins than he wins in every fight with Draco, and as Red Phoenix commented, he always has a lot of hesitation in his shadowy legs.
The shadow of the leg pays attention to the continuous attack, and once there is hesitation, it is the biggest flaw.
Draco's dragon claw hand is very ruthless, though it's not the royal way to use it. In the end, it couldn't beat the royal road, but in the early days, its power was still quite large. In such a situation, it is strange that Neville can win.
"Boom!!"
Neville's body slammed to the ground, and his clothes were scratched.
"Cut, there's still not any progress, Longbottom."
Draco looked at him condescendingly, his eyes full of contempt, even though he had won most of the time. However, the results of the competition during this period did not calm Draco's resentful heart, because the facts still did not change, Neville Longbottom was Li Qingzhu's apprentice. He, no.
"Neville!!"
Harry and Hermione saw Neville being defeated by Draco again, and quickly stopped the fight and ran over together to prevent Draco from hacking. Although Draco had always disdained to do such a thing as taking advantage of people's danger. But that doesn't stop the lion cubs from thinking of the worst, doesn't it? Besides, Slytherin has always been a bad guy.
"Draco, don't go overboard! It's just a scramble, and you have to put such a heavy hand every time for something. ”
Looking at Neville's scars, Hermione looked at Draco angrily and accused.
Draco smiled disapprovingly, "Joke, do you really think this is a sparring?" The real battle is much harsher than this, and if you and Potter are in a soft battle, if you go to the real battlefield, I'm afraid you will only be sent to the death. ”
"Since you say so. Then let's have a duel and see who is sent to death! ”
Harry was furious at Draco's words. He stood up in front of Neville and looked directly at Draco as he spoke.
Draco sneered, "What? You want to do it with me, too? Do you really think you're the savior? ”
"Don't talk that nonsense, one-on-one, dare you?!"
Harry leaned close to Draco's face, his eyes full of anger, he said to Draco word by word, Draco was also angered by his words, he sneered, "Okay, it's class time, we can also have a 'friendly exchange' between us!" ”
Draco bit down on the friendly words, and everyone knew what the subtext of the words was.
Hermione was terrified, she hadn't expected things to come to this point.
Just as Draco and Harry were about to fight a duel, an arrow with a whistle shot from the side, separating the two.
Draco turned his head to see the arrow that had been slightly stuck into the ground, his face changed, and he remembered how hard the arrow's owner had dealt him that night.
Harry glanced at Draco for some reason, wondering why an arrow could make Draco do the same.
"You little guys are really a little too lively, do you want to show up after learning something?"
Chihuang slowly put the bow and arrow back on his back, and then walked over from a short distance, and he really didn't know how she appeared in the open playground.
Harry and Hermione, who didn't know her, were surprised to see an unknown centaur appear in front of them, and could speak.
Draco looked at Harry with some reluctance, but finally lowered his head honestly.
"Neville, stand up, that little injury isn't much to you."
Red Phoenix glanced at them and saw Neville still sitting on the ground, and immediately said to him with some displeasure.
After hearing this, Neville quickly patted his ass and stood up, bowed his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Phoenix, I've embarrassed Master again." ”
Chihuang said lightly: "I already told you what you should pay attention to last time, and now it seems that you really haven't grown at all." ”
Red Phoenix's words made Neville feel so guilty that he couldn't even say a word.
Seeing Neville like this, Hermione stood up and said to Chihuang with some unevenness: "Miss, although I don't know who you are, Neville hasn't been studying for a long time, and you can't ask him to be proficient in it all at once. ”
Seeing this, Neville quickly tugged at Hermione's sleeve and motioned for him not to confront the Red Phoenix.
After meeting Chihuang last time, Neville had already learned the true identity of Chihuang from Li Qingzhu, although Hermione was not Li Qingzhu's apprentice, but she was also his student, and the rude thing about Chihuang reached Li Qingzhu's ears, and she definitely couldn't eat and walk around.
Chihuang looked at a certain tsundere queen with interest, and said with a smile: "Are you standing up for your friend?" Little girl? ”
"No, I'm just telling a fact."
Hermione ignored Neville's tugging, and continued to thrust in and speak in a straight voice.
"Moreover, it's time for martial arts class, I think Miss should explain your identity first!"
Hermione's powerful aura made Draco look sideways, but for Draco, Hermione had such an aura because she had not seen the strength of the red phoenix.
Chihuang smiled, and then said, "Interesting, you have a point, little girl, but I think I'm still qualified to preach here." ”
After saying this, Chihuang's face became more serious, she looked at the four little ghosts and said, "From today onwards, I will be your substitute teacher. ”
Hearing this, the four of them were all very surprised, and Rao is identity of Nawei Zhidao Red Phoenix was also very surprised.
"Miss Phoenix, has something happened to Master?"
Neville asked nervously.
Chihuang shook his head with a smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The master has something to deal with, so let me come over to substitute for you, and he can do his business with peace of mind." ”
Hearing Chihuang call Li Qingzhu the master, Harry and the others knew Chihuang's identity to some extent, and they were no longer hostile to her, Hermione was now worried about whether Chihuang would give her little shoes to wear.
"Harry Potter."
Red Phoenix suddenly called Harry's name, Harry reflexively stood upright and looked at Red Phoenix, Red Phoenix said lightly: "Stopping the fight between peers and standing up for friends, it's a good behavior, it should have given you extra points for this, but then your impulsive behavior made your scores cancel each other out." ”
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was something, as for the score offset, then the offset, as long as it didn't subtract the points.
"Hermione Granger. Because of your outspokenness and lack of fear of power, I will add ten points to you, but in order to remind you to see the situation clearly in the future, even if you are at the beginning, I will give you five points as a lesson, and in summary, Gryffindor will add five points. ”
Red Phoenix's words made Hermione stick out her tongue happily, she actually had a bonus point and earned it!
"As for Neville and Draco!"
The way Red Phoenix looked at the two of them immediately became different.
"Given that the many reminders you should have paid attention to have not been corrected, Gryffindor and Slytherin have each deducted five points for this, and Slytherin has deducted five more points for Draco's repeated provocations of his classmates!"
Chihuang's series of arrangements immediately increased his prestige a lot, at least these four little guys did not dare to raise any objections. (To be continued......)
