Neville had decided to fight, but he had no intention of bringing Harry with him, even though they cared deeply about the outcome of the duel.

Originally, going to the Forbidden Forest was a violation of the school rules, and a person still had to sneak around to avoid being caught by Filch, if it was a group of people, the target would be too big, right?

This time, not only did Neville not let them go, but even Hermione insisted on stopping Harry and Ron, these two guys who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement would definitely be found out, and the academy would be deducted points.

Seeing that the parties and their good friends were so persistent, these two guys gave up, which also made Neville breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time glanced at Hermione gratefully, fortunately Hermione helped persuade her, otherwise he didn't know how to persuade him.

That night, Neville packed his gear and sneaked out of the dormitory, carefully avoiding Filch and Mrs. Loris.

When he reached the perimeter of the entrance to the Forbidden Forest, he found that Draco had already arrived, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Draco saw Neville show up just in time, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Very well, Longbottom, it seems that you have figured it out, and you also want to use this duel to decide who is qualified to be Professor Li's apprentice, right?"

Draco smiled confidently, as if everything was under his control.

Unexpectedly, Naville rejected Draco's idea in a serious manner, and he said seriously: "No, Draco, it's not up to us to decide who will be Master's apprentice, it's Master's business. I am not here to prove that I am more qualified, but because I promised Master during the apprenticeship ceremony that I would carry Master's reputation on my back. ”

I saw Neville regard Li Qingzhu's reputation as his own life. Draco looked even more atmospheric, as if to announce that he was Li Qingzhu's most qualified apprentice.

"Enough!! Don't put that on that face for me, Longbottom! I'm not going to make it easy for you today! ”

Draco interrupted Neville in a fit of rage, then spread his arms and struck in a dragon claw hand start.

Neville frowned, Draco's dragon claw hand was the fastest learned of the few of them. It is also the most powerful, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Neville slowly reached out with his right foot and reached out and tugged at his pants. Always ready to make a move.

"Drink!!"

Draco made the first move, his claws as fierce and nimble as a dragon out of the water, just like Li Qingzhu's teaching, and his steps were fast enough to approach Neville.

"Smack!!"

Neville kicked at Draco. Draco's undodging claws caught Neville's blow steadily. Then the claws continued to strike.

Neville was unhurried, his legs were more flexible than his hands, and his legs fought back with an afterimage.

The two Shaolin stunts of the dragon claw hand and the shadow leg have actually staged a duel in the land of the West, and the user's skills are not weak, it is hard to imagine that they are children who have only practiced for more than two months.

Thanks to the magical potion, the process of laying the foundation has been shortened, but the effect has not been discounted.

"Draco. If you also want to become Master's apprentice, there is no need to do so. I can help you talk about it in front of Master. ”

Neville spoke to Draco as he fended to Draco's attack as he remembered some of Harry's words during the day.

It was a well-meaning word, but Draco felt like a pinprick in his ears, and he felt that it was no different from sarcasm on himself.

"I'm going to get that position on my own! I don't need your handouts, Longbottom!! ”

As he spoke, Draco's claws became more murderous and his attacks more violent, as if they were about to tear Neville to shreds.

Neville also seemed to be frightened, and he was not as calm as he was before, although he had practiced with Harry and them many times, but he had not encountered such a murderous and aggressive attack as Draco, and for a moment he seemed a little overwhelmed.

Draco saw that Neville's attack was far less sharp than at the beginning, and his defense was full of flaws, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he knew that as long as he strengthened his attack a little more, Neville would be defeated by himself, and then he could declare that he was more qualified than Neville to become Li Qingzhu's apprentice!

Thinking of this, Draco looked extremely excited, and the next few moves were even faster than before, so fast that Neville couldn't react at all.

"Ahh

Draco grabbed Neville's chest with a claw, then tore his school uniform open, revealing several claw marks on his chest.

Neville looked at Draco in horror, and Draco smiled wickedly at him, clawing at Neville's chest as if it were trying to pull Neville's heart out.

"Whoa!!"

Suddenly, a wooden arrow shot out of the Forbidden Forest, the target of the arrow was Draco's hand, and if Draco didn't take it back, it would definitely be shot through by the wooden arrow.

Draco decided in the blink of an eye that there was no need to throw away his hand for the sake of a Longbottom, so he immediately withdrew his hand, and Neville was relieved.

It wasn't until the crisis had passed that Draco and Neville were in the mood to consider who had shot the arrow.

Draco vaguely remembered the direction the arrow had fired, and he looked straight over there, staring carefully at the subtleties in the darkness, as if trying to find the man.

"A dragon claw hand is used with murderous energy, and a shadow-like leg is used hesitantly, if your teacher knows the Tao, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will vomit blood."

Suddenly, a female voice came from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and the voice was full of mature charm, and it seemed to be a royal sister from the voice.

"Who's there!"

Draco straightened up in shock, if a professor came out at this time, he and Neville would both be caught.

"Step, step."

There was a sound of rustling and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and in a few moments, Draco and Neville saw a centaur of distinctly female sex, with clothes on his upper body, a bow hanging from his back, and a purple glow all over his body.

The woman's face is typical of an Oriental woman's, with long flowing hair and a particularly beautiful appearance in the moonlight, and if you don't look at her lower body, it will definitely be the most perfect woman.

The centaur walked up to the two of them, looking at them carefully, Neville and Draco were also watching her, they had heard that the Forbidden Forest was full of all kinds of magical creatures, and this one in front of them was also counted?

"You two are so childish."

The centaur had a somewhat hateful tone, which made Draco a little unhappy, he raised his head and asked with some pride, "So, who are you, and what qualifications do you have to say about me?" ”

When the centaur heard this, he laughed and said, "Who are you to ask me?" ”

Draco seemed to have been poked in the spot, and actually shot directly at the centaur.

Seeing this, Neville subconsciously reminded, "Be careful!! ”

Unfazed, the centaur was in the mood to smile at Neville, waiting until Draco's hand was about to grab her before the centaur struck.

It's just that her move scared Neville and Draco as well, because she used the Dragonclaw Hand, too!

"Smack!"

Neville only felt the shadow in front of him flying, and the moment he made contact, Draco was subdued by the centaur, who slapped Draco in the face, slapping him a little confused.

"Your teacher should have told you a long time ago that the dragon claw hand should not be used so evilly, didn't you listen to it!"

The centaur scolded Draco with a stern expression, perhaps because of the centaur's ability to subdue himself with one move, but this time Draco did not refute.

The centaur took a deep breath, looked at both of them, and then said, "That's all for today's matter, the Forbidden Forest is not the place where you students should come, so go back before the teacher finds out about you!" ”

"In addition, I also advise you, private fighting is the most taboo thing for your teachers, especially you! Draco Malfoy! If you are obsessed, you will never want to be recognized by your teacher. ”

With that, the centaur turned and walked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, leaving behind the two little ones thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
