Chapter 229: Duel Lesson
After a long conversation in Lemay's safe house, everyone present recognized a number of things and decided to embark on a journey to find the Deathly Hallows.
Dumbledore put away all his other thoughts about the Resurrection Stone, and prepared to go back and rummage through the many materials he had left behind when he searched for the Hallows, but the purpose was only to fight the invasion of the Grim Reaper.
Of course, in the worst-case scenario, if they really can't find the Deathly Hallows, they have prepared other precautions.
That is, through the power of the dark demon god borrowed by the ghost Xiwen, temporarily affect the operation of the dark enchantment of the god of death, and gather all the living forces they are familiar with through the dimensional gate, and work together to defeat the god of death!
In order to establish the plan, Lemay also deliberately made a more portable positioning tool than the double-sided mirror, so that it is convenient for the ghost Xiwen to open the dimensional door to find the corresponding wizard at the necessary moment, so that he will not need to use a crystal ball to find Dumbledore's location as he does today.
"Bring Newt, Theseus, Professor Hicks, Kama, and Bundy to our team." In the safe house, Dumbledore thought as he spoke. "I'm going to get some of the Ministries of Magic and the Hogwarts professors to join in, and I think Minerva will be willing to help us."
"Is Dumbledore's Army coming back again?" Xiwen asked teasingly.
"Tsk, I don't know which of you thought of the name Dumbledore's Army, it always feels weird." Dumbledore smacked his lips and shook his head. "I feel like I should think of a new organization."
As he spoke, he happened to see Phoenix Fawkes combing his feathers on a hanger on the side, and couldn't help but smile.
"Otherwise, this newly formed organization would be called the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore said.
……
The long conversation in the safe house of Lemay lasted all day and continued into the evening.
At this time, the young wizard of Hogwarts Castle Xiwen also finished his day's work and came to the Great Hall to participate in a new course this semester - dueling class.
At this moment, Professor Meles, with white hair and a blue peaked top hat, was standing on a newly erected platform in the auditorium, introducing some dueling techniques to the young wizards around him that had not been taught before.
In fact, this course has been offered for quite some time now.
As a course that has the nature of improving the strength of young wizards after canceling all public entertainment activities, and at the same time has a certain compensatory nature, many young wizards are looking forward to it.
They enthusiastically learned the etiquette of a duel, the art of dueling, and the methods of defeating the enemy by surprise. And when it comes to the most anticipated part of the little wizards, we have to mention every duel class, and wait until the professors finish talking about the actual duel battles!
The young wizards of each grade are divided into groups, and the young wizards of the same group take turns to play duels between pairs.
Professor Kettleburn, who didn't think much of a big deal to watch, happily entered the auditorium every day, and later even got bored to build a scoreboard next to the dueling table and drummed up a points-based leaderboard.
According to him, the students get one point for each duel match they win on the dueling ring, which is used to judge the strength of each person.
Principal Duppert was still a little unhappy that he was messing around here, but when he saw the increased enthusiasm of the students for dueling with the scoreboard, he pushed the boat to set up a new format that would more fully mobilize enthusiasm.
That is, the points will be ranked once a month, and the settlement will be made at the end of the month, and the top three in each grade will be rewarded accordingly.
In addition, the first place in each grade can also challenge the seniors who are one grade higher and are the top three in the standings, and each opponent who defeats a higher level will be rewarded with a higher level.
Today is October 30, 1939, and because the Halloween dinner will be held in the auditorium the next day, the last dueling class of October will be held on the 30th.
The young wizards in the audience were eager to try, because Principal Dippet promised them that even if the top three were decided, everyone would still have a chance to get a reward.
Anyone in each group has a chance to challenge the top three in the same group, and if they win, they can replace the little wizard who originally belonged to the top three to get the final reward. Of course, those who emerge victorious also have the obligation to face the challenges of the junior wizards.
However, the little wizard Xiwen looked a little bored.
After the duel class was opened, in fact, Xiwen was very happy at first, he felt that he had another opportunity to gain actual combat experience, so that he would no longer engage in the kind of behavior of following the owl to beat people to force actual combat with people......
And the personal teaching of the little wizards by the heads of the five main subjects also taught him a lot of duel-related knowledge, at least not like in the past, like a layman who said that he wanted to duel with people, but he didn't even have basic dueling etiquette and directly engaged in a sneak attack......
But the real duel battle made Xiwen one head and two big.
The third-year wizards have only been in school for two years, and they have learned some basic spells, but few of them know how to apply them in practice.
In addition, since Xiwen fused the Myredigus Blood Curse in his bloodline, the speed at which his magic naturally grew has accelerated a lot, and now his actual combat experience, psychological quality, and total magic power are not at all comparable to those young wizards of the same level.
So in the end, it turned into a comical scene, and every duel was quickly ended by Xiwen with a disarming charm, which was very boring for himself, his opponent, and the audience......
Tomato is free to read
"Okay, I see you can't wait." Just as Siwen was distracted, Professor Meleth on the dueling stage smiled kindly at the young wizards in the audience. "In that case, let's start the monthly Points Challenge in the Duel Class!"
"Here, we must thank Professor Slughorn for his support. The potion he refined for the top three in the standings to restore their mana can prevent them from being affected by the wheel battle and overdraw their mana, which greatly improves the fairness of the game! ”
Professor Slughorn happily stood up from his seat in the audience, bent his bucket very reluctantly, and bowed to the young wizards present.
"Of course, physical exhaustion is not completely eliminated, and you can see this as a unique challenge to be in the top three!" Professor Meleth said with a smile and raised his wand.
A flash of light shot from the tip of his wand into the ceiling of the Great Hall.
The next moment, the game officially begins!
The auditorium is ample so that each grade has its own dueling table.
After the start of the match, every dueling table turned into a full swing, and a large group of extremely confident little wizards challenged the top three, keeping them busy.
Among the top three in the standings of all grades, only Xiwen was idle.
It's really that his record of ending the battle with a disarming spell in every game is too good, and the little wizards in the third year may be confident, but they are not so stupid that they will not come to Xiwen to ask for their own trouble......
Abraxas, who finished third in the third-year standings, had just managed a confident little Gryffindor wizard in the dueling ring, and then he couldn't wait to step down and sit down next to Sven.
"You say, can I wait until Moody's stamina is almost exhausted before challenging him and then get a second-place spot." Abu looked at Alastor Moody, who was second in the third-grade standings on the stage, and fantasized with a whim.
"I think you'd better take care of yourself first, there are people around here who want to challenge you." Xiwen glanced at him and said boredly.
"That's just as well." Abu pinched his chin and thought.
After a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Xiwen: "Otherwise, you can help me beat Moody and scrap it, and then I'll pick up the bargain!" ”
"Look at the way Moody looks at you, he'll come to you sooner or later!"
The corners of Xiwen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help complaining: "He has been sitting at the same table with you for a year, how did you give birth to such dark thoughts?" ”
"The same table can't be worth the centuries-old feud between Slytherin and Gryffindor!" Abu said indignantly. "Not to mention, when you teamed up with him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, you didn't know how ruthless he was!"
"It turned out that I wanted to announce a personal vendetta...... "Xiwen pursed his lips and raised his eyes to the duel on the stage.
Moody's opponent was a Hufflepuff wizard whose name Shevin remembered was Baruch Diggory.
As a third-year wizard, Diggory's strength is actually not weak, and he has been fighting back and forth with Moody for a long time.
But in the end, it was Moody's daily neurotic Auror training model that gave him an edge in terms of reaction speed and timing. He seized the moment to find a flaw in Diggory and ended the match with a full-body restraint spell.
There was a round of applause in this area of the third grade.
Shevin applauded, but he realized something was wrong—Moody's eyes were turned in his direction after his victory over Diggory.
Did Abu really say it right?
