Chapter 231: Exam
In Hugo's perception, the air around him began to become viscous, and the sound of his heartbeat was slowly amplified from the inside of his body, as if someone had pulled his heart out of his chest and placed it next to his ear, forcing him to listen to his heartbeat.
The pressure released from Mr. Eastwood began to rise slowly but resolutely like a rising flood, and Hugo could only watch the top of the flood gradually approach the top of his small dirt slope, but could do nothing.
Hugo took a deep breath and desperately concentrated his mind so that the flood that was about to pass his feet would not affect his own thinking.
Calm down, Hugo, calm down! Just like when you practice Occlumency!
Occlusion can not only be used to resist the deception or other types of psychic magic, but also can reduce the impact of external stimuli on one's own spirit, so the more advanced the cultivation of Occlusion, the smaller the psychological fluctuations produced when exposed to external stimuli, which can be very effective in helping wizards stay calm and make the most correct choice.
But magic is such a thing, sometimes not always the calmer the better, when the wizard is strongly stimulated by the outside world, the emotion will enter a more extreme state, this extreme state will bring great pressure to the wizard, in the coincidence of chance, some wizards can use magic that they have never seen before! Many children who have not received formal training often use magic that no one knows.
For example, Harry Potter, he was attacked by Voldemort during the flight to evacuate No. 4 Privet Road, his wand was uncontrollable and dragged his hand to release a burst of golden flames to attack Voldemort, this kind of golden flame Harry had never seen before, and it was involuntarily used in the face of great pressure, but it was a pity that Harry was not able to experience, think and try to master this golden flame in time after using this magic, and finally led to a brush with that powerful magic.
Another example is Hugo, who was put to the test of life and death when facing the golden wolf! The magic of Slytherin and the three-time werewolf put him under tremendous pressure! When the rampaging monster rushed towards him, the unspeakable desperation forced him to use a magic he had never seen before!
Meteors fly!
Although there are other essential reasons why Hugo was able to use this magic, it has to be said that the extreme state of emotions is the direct cause of the meteor flying.
But the probability of 'creating' magic to resist danger in the face of great pressure is very, very low! And usually only children with no formal training can do this, and if any wizard wants to rely on this method to survive the disaster, then his bones will be cold!
Therefore, most wizards must remain rational during the battle and calmly face the problems that arise, otherwise the probability of his death is much higher than the probability of becoming the protagonist.
After Hugo calmed down, he immediately released an iron armor spell to himself, in the process of actual combat, it is undoubtedly the best choice to release an iron armor spell to himself, first of all, you can ensure that you are not hurt by the enemy's magic, and secondly, the iron armor spell can also reflect the enemy's magic spell to fight back, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
As a result, Hugo's spell had just been released, and a beam of red light was released from the wand of Mr. Eastwood on the opposite side, which hit Hugo at once, and the poor iron armor spell was broken before it was covered on his body, although it also countered part of the magic power, but it was randomly blocked by Mr. Eastwood with one hand, and it looked as simple as driving away a fly.
"Well, it's a good choice to release the Iron Armor Spell first, both offensive and defensive, the spell itself is released very smoothly, and the spirit is also very concentrated, I heard that you are contacting the Occlumency? It seems that it is starting to have a little effect, now change a few other spells to attack me"
Mr. Eastwood stood there casually, his fingers tapping his wand rhythmically, as if he were sitting in the audience watching a child perform a stage play.
Hugo hurriedly took a deep breath, and then used the most familiar disarming spell, of course, this spell had no effect, and then Hugo used the stumbling spell and the freezing spell successively, and then used the mainstream stun spell and the less skilled smashing spell, but the result was still useless, although he had already guessed this result, but still a little unwilling feeling came to his heart.
For a moment, Hugo wanted to prove himself by flying a meteor, but this thought only appeared for a moment and was left behind by Hugo, this is just an exam, not a life-and-death fight, what if this magic Eastwood teacher can't stop it due to a slight enemy or some other reason?
Although Hugo's spell did not have any effect on Mr. Eastwood, it was clear that the teacher was very satisfied with Hugo's performance, and even showed a smile that Hugo had never seen before!
"There are a few magic that are more proficient, but there are still some that need to be strengthened, your magic mastery should be the best among the first-year wizards, but this is not a reason for you to relax, I will demand higher standards from you in the future"
Teacher Eastwood first encouraged Hugo a few words and then signaled that he had finished the exam and could leave, Hugo was relieved at this time, and then he couldn't wait to leave the exam room to wait for Will in the common room, when he was walking in the long corridor, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, so he looked back, just in time to see Teacher Eastwood carry Helena out of the classroom.
And this little guy who usually looks arrogant is also a little nervous at this time, she stares behind Mr. Eastwood with big eyes, staring straight at the teacher's back, very overwhelmed, like a nervous kitten.
Hugo coughed in a low voice very simply, which immediately attracted Helena's attention, and she saw a little wizard with a gloating expression standing at the far end of the corridor, it was Hugo who had taken Helena's exam one step ahead, and at this time the fool seemed to be laughing at herself, as if she was not as good as him!
Helena's two throwing knives were immediately unsheathed! The nervousness quickly subsided, and the pride in her bones suddenly welled up, and she glared at Hugo 'viciously', and the fine and dense teeth in her mouth rubbed against each other desperately, as if she was tearing Hugo's shoulder.
With this proud character of not admitting defeat, Helena followed Mr. Eastwood into the examination room.
