085. Fierce Fight! Dueling Club
Strierna on stage stared at Scott in the crowd and sneered, "Come on, genius." ”
He lifted his chin and smiled haughtily.
"Of course, if you feel that you are not worthy of the name of genius, you can choose to refuse."
Hearing him say this, the Slytherins present burst into laughter.
Off the stage, Scott also hooked the corners of his lips.
He took a step towards the stage.
It is true that he has always been cautious, but that does not mean weakness, and it does not mean that he has to back down in the face of a frontal provocation.
The so-called genius name is not shouted by himself, it represents the recognition of some people for him.
He could not care about that name, but that didn't mean he was going to bow his head here, under Strielna's taunts.
"It's not fair, Professor!"
As he walked, Scott heard Roger protest loudly behind him.
"Strierna is in seventh grade, and he's three years older than Scott!"
Scott doesn't stop.
He understood what Roger meant.
Roger wasn't stopping the duel, he just didn't think Scott could beat a seventh-grader, saying that so he had a reason to lose.
"That's right! It's not fair! ”
"Let me duel with Strierna!"
Many students began to show their support for Roger.
There was even a Gryffindor's seventh grader who volunteered to replace Scott.
"Quiet!"
Unmoved, Snape scanned the crowd with cold eyes, forcing them to quiet down with his gaze.
At this time, Lockhart also said to Snape: "They are right, I think we can choose two young wizards of the same age to have this duel." ”
"Don't worry, Professor Lockhart. Strierna was the opponent I picked specifically for. ”
Snape looked at Scott, who was stepping onto the stage, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"How can Trollope be a genius if he can't surpass his peers by a wide margin?"
Scott, who stepped onto the stage, smiled at Snape, "Thank you for your attention, Professor. I'll try. ”
Snappee replied with a non-smirk, "I hope you can be worthy of the praise that the other professors have given you." ”
"I will."
Scott nodded and said no more.
He looked at Strilna, who was standing across from him.
"You're proud, aren't you?"
Strierna came closer.
He relied on the height advantage of a few years older and looked at Scott condescendingly.
"Someone like you, just lucky enough to have access to magic, you should be grateful to Merlin."
When he speaks, his lips move slightly, and his voice is very small.
"Genius? Prestige in the wizarding world is not something that someone of your background should earn. ”
Scott didn't look at Strilner, but lowered his head and straightened his sleeve -
He didn't want to leave a picture of himself looking up at the other person in the eyes of others.
"Are you finished?"
He asked in a calm tone.
Then, he didn't care about Strielner's reaction, and turned to Snape and said, "Can you start?" Professor. ”
"Ready." Snape said.
Scott turned straight away and distanced himself from Strierna.
"Good."
He heard Strierna grit his teeth.
Scott walked to the side of the stage and turned again, and Strierna was already in place on the other side.
"Bow." Snape commanded again.
But both Scott and Strierna only shook their bodies perfunctorily, and neither bent over.
Then, both raised their wands.
Scott heard cheering from under the stage.
Listening to the voice, there are many more people who support him than those who support Strielna.
"Come on! Scott! ”
"Kill him!"
Fred and George screamed very loudly.
At this point, Snape began to count, "One, two, three." ”
"Except for your weapons!"
Strierna was extremely aggressive from the start.
No sooner had Snape counted to three than a red light shot out from the tip of Strelner's wand.
The red light instantly crossed the distance on the stage, brushed past the tip of Lockhart's nose as he slowly retreated, and pierced the air beside Scott.
Of course, it's not that Strilna's spell didn't aim. It was Scott who avoided the disarming spell first.
This is another benefit of having a strong sense of magic.
At the moment when the opponent's spell is completed, Scott can simulate the flight trajectory of the spell through perception, so as to calmly avoid it.
As the disarming spell passed through the air beside him, Scott's wand in his hand lit up with a long-brewing glow.
On the other side, Strielna's face changed.
"Armor protection!"
With great speed, he cast an iron spell in front of him.
The wand in Scott's hand flicked neatly, but the spell surprisingly did not fly towards Strilna.
The light crossed the stage and slammed into a high-backed chair in the teacher's chair on the other side.
The chair instantly turned into a giant eagle and flew up.
Tricked into an iron armor spell, Strierna gritted his teeth and waved his wand at Scott again.
"Divided!"
Scott's footsteps flickered, and the Cutting Charm brushed past him by a fraction of a second again.
At this moment, the eagle's cry sounded, and a huge shadow obscured the light above Strielna's head.
The giant eagle was swooping down above his head, two sharp claws grabbing at his head.
Faced with such danger, Strierna did not retreat, but decisively waved his wand upward.
"Reducto!"
The swooping eagle was hit by the Smashing Charm and exploded, turning into a cloud of sawdust and falling down.
Strierna smirked, even if he was spilled with sawdust.
And Scott was laughing at this time.
Just as Strierna was crushing the eagle, he cast two more Transfiguration Spells.
At this time, the two gray wolves had already jumped up from the teacher's seat and landed firmly on the stage, stopping between the two dueling people.
They stared at Strierna closely, bent slightly, grinning at their glittering fangs.
Strierna looked disdainful, "Will the so-called genius only play such useless tricks?" ”
He raised his wand again, "Look, I'll smash your toys, along with the name of genius!" ”
"If you can do it." Scott smiled.
Strierna shouted: "Broken bones! ”
This time, however, the gray wolf was not hit by the Smashing Charm like the Eagle, and it nimbly dodged.
The two wolves split apart in an instant, and galloped towards Strierna from the left and right.
"Broken bones!"
With a fierce face, Strierna cast another shattering spell.
And his target this time is Scott himself.
"Whew!"
A running gray wolf leaps high to block the shattering spell, turning itself into sawdust and exploding.
The other gray wolf sped around the Iron Armor Charm and ran up to Strilna, opening its mouth wide and biting his leg.
At the same time, Scott also raised his wand.
"Divided!"
The Cutting Spell struck in front of Strielna, and the magical barrier that had been held for some time burst in response.
"Damn it!"
Strierna scrambled to avoid the gray wolf's bite.
"Broken bones!" He cast spells with difficulty.
The second gray wolf also turned into sawdust.
However, before Strierna could rejoice, a red light struck him instantly.
Strierna froze, his wand came out of his hand, and flew high.
There were bursts of cheers and cheers from under the stage.
"You're careless, Mr. Strielner."
Scott reached for the wand and smiled at Strierna.
"Maybe you think I'm only magical?"
With that, he once again ignored Strielner's reaction and turned to smile at Snape off the stage.
"This duel is over, Professor."
He shook the Strierna wand in his hand.
"I don't know if I'm a genius or not."
He laughs.
"But I'm sure Mr. Strierna doesn't count."
