"Miranda, is that how you want to win?" Xiwen covered his red forehead from being hit by a stone, and asked helplessly. "Why did you even use a pebble, and it hurt my brain......"

Miranda's expression seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"If I say...... I didn't mean to throw a stone at you, would you believe it? She said in a weak voice.

Despite verbal conversations, the two spells between the two were still frozen in the air, and neither of them had the slightest intention of relaxing.

"Aren't you here to interfere with my spell casting?" Xiwen asked curiously, as he added a number of mana outputs to the fused lightning, pushing it a few inches in Miranda's direction.

Seeing this, Miranda also increased the mana supply of the disarming spell again, pushing Xiwen's fusion spell back to the center of the two.

"What do you think, am I the kind of person in your eyes...... Would you think that a small pebble can interfere with an opponent's caster? Miranda glanced at Xiwen reproachfully and said to him.

"Actually, I wanted to see if I could manipulate the spell and cast a wandless transfiguration with my other hand. As a result, after throwing the stone out, I found that I couldn't concentrate and couldn't deform it at all, so I accidentally hit your head......"

Shiwen shook his head with a smile.

Then, he looked at the stone that had fallen to the ground, and his eyes suddenly moved.

He spread out his left hand and easily ingested the stones on the ground in the palm of his hand with the Kama Taj Basic Spell. Then, Shivin tossed the pebble and looked at Miranda's forehead, which was covered by bangs, with a smirk.

"I throw in the towel!" Miranda glared at Shewin angrily, and suddenly put away the disarming spell that was in a stalemate with Shevan's fused lightning, and shouted to Professor Meleth.

Miranda's sudden admission of defeat made Xiwen stunned for a moment. He hurriedly stopped the spell in his hand and asked her suspiciously, "Miranda, you should be able to feel it." If you can spend a little longer, my magic will be completely exhausted, and you will be the one who wins. ”

"I know." Miranda said rightly.

"In that case, why would you throw in the towel?" Xiwen asked, puzzled.

"I don't want to be hit by you." Miranda rolled her eyes and said casually. "Don't you know that you practice all kinds of fighting moves every morning on the lawn northwest of the castle? If you hit it, it would hurt, but I don't want to try it. ”

With that, Miranda walked off the dueling table on her own, leaving Xiwen alone on the stage.

As Professor Meles announced the final result of the duel match, the audience erupted in applause and cheers, pulling Xiwen's still unresolved thoughts back.

As soon as he stepped down from the dueling table, he was surrounded by the extremely enthusiastic Slytherin wizards, almost huddled around and walked to the Slytherin table, which had been put back in place by the house-elves in a very short time.

In addition to this, Shivin could vaguely hear Abraxas and Mobley talking proudly in the crowd -

"Did you see the first place in the whole school in that duel competition? That's my roommate! The two of them sounded extremely proud, as if they were the ones who won the first place.

Sitting in the center of the Slytherin crowd, Sven finished his last dinner in November with a stiff face, and then slipped out of the auditorium as if he were running away.

It wasn't until he came to the empty entrance courtyard that he let out a deep breath and his mood became relaxed.

Xiwen really can't accept the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of people asking questions and all kinds of boasting and flattering. It's really the nature of Slytherin people that they must make friends with people who can bring them benefits in the future, and this kind of character is the most important in Slytherin's headmaster, Professor Slughorn.

……

It was already cold at the end of November, and standing in the middle of the entrance courtyard, you could see the dark sky at night covered with clouds, as if a huge storm was brewing.

Xiwen was not the only one in the courtyard, there was another figure who seemed to have already arrived in the courtyard, waiting for Xiwen's arrival.

Miranda sat on the railing of the circular corridor around the courtyard, leaning gently against the stone pillar next to her, her feet dangling in the air, and gently swaying twice from time to time.

Seeing Xiwen approaching, she smiled and greeted him.

"How does it feel to be crowned King of Hogwarts Duels?" Miranda asked with a teasing smile.

"Don't mention it, the enthusiasm of the wizards of Slytherin is a little unacceptable to me." Siwen sighed, jumped slightly, and sat down on the railing next to Miranda.

"Actually, the winner of this duel should be yours." He said to Miranda. "The total amount of magic power in my body is still a lot worse than yours after all, and the level of spell casting is not as high as yours, so I shouldn't have won the final victory."

Miranda smiled, and instead of answering Xiwen's question, she asked rhetorically, "Didn't you come to duel with me to test your strength?" Now that the duel is over, how does it feel? ”

"So it seems that my strength is still okay." Xiwen laughed. "After all, if you can fight the author of the Book of Spells without defeat, how can you surpass most wizards in the wizarding world?"

"Then I'll thank you for the compliment!" Miranda said casually. "With you saying that, I can be regarded as relieved of my own strength."

There was silence between the two.

Because of the cold weather, the white air exhaled from Xiwen and Miranda's mouths and noses kept pouring out, adding a little fluctuation to the air.

"After Christmas, I'll be officially heading across the Channel to join the coalition against the Witch Clan, and by the way, I'll be looking for the future of the Magic Trail there." After a long silence, Miranda suddenly spoke.

Xiwen's eyes fluctuated and he glanced at Miranda.

"Then let's work together!" Xiwen thought for a moment and said with a smile. "I'm going to go across the Channel until Christmas, and I hope we all have good luck."

"What are you going to do on the other side, Xiwen?" Miranda asked, looking at him suspiciously.

"I'm going...... Use my own strength to change the pattern of this world! ”

Xiwen looked up at the dim sky, his eyes and voice gradually becoming firm.

In an instant, a flash of lightning streaked through the thick clouds, illuminating half of the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.

It's been a change!
