Lockhart always dressed himself up as a sassy bag, wearing a fuchsia glittering robe, which was worth a lot of money at first glance, but it was the same as the game's attribute-free outfit, which didn't have any bird use except for the bag.

"Come around, can everybody see me and hear me? That's great! Seeing the number of students arriving and the lively atmosphere, Lockhart regained his former composure and confidence. However, when he appeared on stage, many of the students had a look of disappointment on their faces, but Professor Lockhart, who was immersed in self-absorption, did not seem to notice this.

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore has allowed me to open this little dueling club and train you enough in case you need to defend yourself one day, in the same way I have used countless times. For more information on this, see my published work. After a brief opening statement, Lockhart still didn't forget to put a small advertisement for himself.

"I would like to introduce my assistant, Professor Snape, who told me that he knew a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to help me give a little demonstration before the lesson. I said, I don't want you little ones to worry, and when I'm done showing him, I'll give you back your potions teacher intact, don't be afraid! "I don't know where Lockhart's self-confidence comes from, none of the students below will worry about Snape's problems, and the Slytherin students whistle all the way to cheer for Lockhart. The students of the other houses hoped that Lockhart would be able to kill Snape for a long time, and that they would not be sad about what had happened to Snape, but would only feel excited and excited. It's just that Lockhart didn't notice anything about it, and cracked his mouth and smiled as he spoke.

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed, the etiquette of a formal wizarding duel. Lockhart always tried to attract attention with flashy little tricks when he bowed, and Snape didn't bend his head at all, just shook his head impatiently.

Then, they held their respective wands to their chests like arrows.

As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal dueling stance," Lockhart said to the silent crowd, "and we'll do the first spell on the count of three." Of course, neither of us will take the other's life. ”

During the duel, Lockhart was still in the mood to give a brief introduction to the students, and he didn't seem to feel the murderous aura emanating from Snape when he entered the combat state.

"One, two, three!"

"Except for your weapons!" Snape's spell was cast so fast that before Lockhart could pronounce a decent spell, he was struck by Snape's disarming charm, and Lockhart's wand flew out of his hand and landed in the crowd.

Lockhart himself was knocked out of the way by the power of the spell, flying off the stage, hitting the wall and sliding down.

The Slytherin students applauded enthusiastically, and the students of the other houses didn't show too many expressions of surprise on their faces. It's just that when Lockhart's body slammed into the wall, he couldn't help but cover his face-

"It must have hurt!"

But when the extremely embarrassed Lockhart staggered to his feet and returned to the stage, the sympathy of the crowd for him quickly evaporated—

Because Lockhart actually said, "Okay, you can see it! It's a disarming spell, and as you can see, I've lost my wand. Yes, Professor Snape, it's a brilliant idea to show them this trick, but don't mind me when I say that, your intention is obvious. If I want to stop you, I don't have to do anything. I think it would be better to let them see it in order to increase their knowledge."

Snape's face was murderous, and it seemed to say, "Do you want to do it again, this time you don't need to let you, show your real strength to compete with me."

What are you kidding, how Lockhart doesn't know his half-baked level, how can he be Snape's opponent.

If you lose just now, you can prevaricate, but if you lose again, your face will be lost. And judging from the murderous aura on Snape's face, if he does it again, the other party will only make a heavier hand.

At this time, Lockhart immediately coaxed, and quickly changed the topic and moved on to the next step. I only heard him say, "This is the end of the demonstration!" Now I will come among you and divide you all into groups of two. ”

They weave their way through the crowd and pair everyone up. Maple and Hermione form a team, Ron is not there, and the lonely Harry has to find someone else to pair with. But before he could find a partner, Snape came up first: "Didn't the famous Potter find a suitable opponent?" Then let me arrange one for you. With a malicious smile on his face, Snape continued, "Malfoy, come up here. You can verify for us whether the strength of the famous Potter is worthy of his name! ”

Malfoy walked over with a smug smile on his face, and it seemed that Snape's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.

"Face your partner!" Lockhart returned to the stage and shouted, "Bow! ”

Harry and Malfoy didn't take Lockhart's words seriously, they looked at each other with a strong hatred in their eyes, and they could feel the smell of gunpowder from afar. If eyes could kill, the two of them would have died together.

Before Lockhart announced the start, Malfoy didn't forget to tease Harry, and whispered to Harry, "Weasley's scum finally gets his due!" ”

Harry was immediately furious, ignoring the rules of the duel, and directly waved his wand to chant a spell on Malfoy, but Malfoy was ready before he stimulated Harry with his words, and launched an attack before Harry did.

After being struck by Malfoy's spell, Harry felt as if he had been hit in the head by a saucepan. The second-year student's magic was still too weak, and Harry recovered after a brief moment of discomfort, and then unceremoniously fought back at Malfoy, shouting, "Grinning hula!" ”

"Armor protection!" What Harry didn't expect was that Malfoy would use the Iron Charm to defend himself.

"It's surprising, you think I'm not going to be prepared at all after that fight!" Malfoy smirked.

"Tarangtella Dance!" After Malfoy blocked Harry's spell, he cast a spell on Harry. It's just that his nonsense just now gave Harry time to prepare, and this time Harry also cast an iron armor spell to protect himself.

The two of them went back and forth with the Iron Armor Charm, and they didn't use the Disarming Charm as Lockhart told them to do.

Malfoy and Harry attacked each other with the Iron Charm, thinking that the Iron Charm would be foolproof, but they did not expect the Iron Charm to be broken. Malfoy's Iron Charm was broken after only four attacks, and Maple personally trained Harry's Iron Charm was only a little stronger than Malfoy's, probably able to withstand six attacks.

When Malfoy's Iron Armor Curse was broken, Harry seized the opportunity to retaliate against Malfoy, striking Malfoy in the stomach with a spell that knocked Malfoy to the ground.

Among the people present, the most serious ones to bow to their opponents were probably Maple and Hermione, and their methods of fighting were also different from others, and when others couldn't even use spells well, they were already starting to fight with silent spells.

In addition to this, they are also one of the few partners who frequently use disarming charms.

However, they weren't the two people who used the disarming charm the most, the Weasley brothers used the most. This pair of funny guys, who don't practice their own confrontations, have their eyes on Snape from time to time, and when they see that Snape's eyes are focused on Harry most of the time, they are much more bold.

Taking advantage of the fact that none of the people around them were paying attention, the two quietly cast a disarming spell on them behind the backs of others. There are often wands in the hands of students who fly out inexplicably, but his opponent is also confused, this is not what I did!

And the hardest hit were undoubtedly the Slytherin people.

The Weasley brothers had a lot of fun, and if it weren't for the crowd, and if Snape wasn't there, they might have been tempted to use the Upside-Down Bell Charm on the Slytherins again.

"Except for your weapons!" Without making a sound from their mouths, Maple and Hermione's wands simultaneously emitted red light, which was then blocked by an invisible barrier in front of them.

Hermione's front of her made a slight ripple in front of her as the red light struck, but there was little movement in Maple's body. It was clear that although Hermione had mastered the Silent Charm, her level of magic was still some distance from that of Maple.

But aside from the element of obscurity, it was not easy for Hermione to do this.

The Iron Charm can be broken, but it can also be used repeatedly. Hermione could always cast spells to maintain the barrier in front of her, and in Maple's spells, except for a few powerful black magic such as the Bladeless Thunderbolt Explosion, it was difficult for his other magic to break Hermione's armor barrier at once.

Even with the silent spell, Hermione and Maple cast spells several beats faster than the other students. By the time the other students had just finished their first round of fighting, Hermione and Maple had already cast two spells. Maple could have been faster, but he had chosen to match Hermione's speed, not much faster than hers.

After the warm-up of the Stuna Charm, Disarming Charm, and Iron Armor Charm, which had been released a dozen times, Hermione and Maple began to fight at a higher level.

"The flames are blazing!"

"Clear water is like a spring!"

"A thousand needles - a thousand ice thorns!" Maple was waiting for the opponent's Clear Water Spell, using the Freezing Spell Frost Freeze to condense the water summoned by the opponent into ice, and then cast a Transfiguration Spell to turn pieces of ice into ice spikes and backlash towards the opponent.

Because the Clear Water Spell was cast by Hermione, the Clear Water released was very close to her, so the ice spike Hermione turned into by Clear Water didn't have time to resist with other spells and clanged into the Iron Armor Charm in front of her.

"A Thousand Needles - Flame Needle!" The attack of the Thousand Ice Spikes was only a prelude, and the flames released by Maple's Fire Charm were also turned into flame needles by him using Transfiguration to launch a second wave of attacks.
