"That's all for that, let's welcome our new classmates, Mr. Harry Potter from Hufflepuff House and Miss Kassandra Malfoy from Slytherin House."

There was a round of polite applause, and the old members who had joined before them were kind to them, after all, the competition was divided by age group, and there was only healthy competition and competition between them and the newcomers, and there was no risk of infighting, even if they were their peers, they were competing with students from other schools.

"Students in the second grade and above, please go to the training room to test the new school year, I hope you don't waste practice during the holidays, and then I will reformulate the training schedule according to your respective situation, all start, children, hard work is as important as talent."

The old members got up and left, they knew it well, and they all knew what they were going to do.

"Mr. Potter and Miss Malfoy, come with me, I need to put some basic tests on you."

"You know, dueling is a very mature system, in addition to the standard twenty-step dueling arena, there are many different venues for dueling, and each venue requires different directions of specialization, which can basically be divided into three categories: barrier-free field races, random terrain obstacle courses, and the most difficult open time trials."

"Barrier-free field competition refers to the traditional dueling arena that only changes the size and shape of the ring, including the twenty-step standard dueling arena, here, the duelists pay more attention to the rapid casting of magic spells and the precise confrontation of magic, because there are no obstacles, the relative distance between the two is relatively close, high-speed reaction is essential, if your spell is fast enough, and the speed of drawing the gun is fast enough, then it is possible to do a spell to end the game directly."

"The obstacle course of the random terrain is different, the dueling parties have no idea where the other party's location is, the randomly generated terrain is often complex and changeable, which tests the wizard's on-the-spot reaction and keen magic perception, but you have to pay attention, in the duel, transfiguration can also be used, although this is a discipline independent of spells, but it still belongs to the category of spells, but any potions, alchemy props are not allowed."

"And the final open time trial is a multi-person competition with more than 30 participants, there are squad participants, there are also individual battles, the huge field is surrounded by magic enchantments, every certain period of time, the magic enchantment will shrink towards the central area, and those who fail to enter the circle in time will be eliminated, and as the magic enchantment becomes smaller and smaller, the intensity of the confrontation will continue to rise, until the final winner is determined."

"These are the three main categories of dueling, and the more independent sub-items are the sharpshooter duel, the lightning shooter duel, which focuses on spell accuracy and fast casting, and they all have restrictions on the type of wand, for example, the lightning shooter is only open to wands from the revolver series."

"You should have a rough idea of what dueling matches are by now, right?"

Seeing that the two of them nodded, Professor Flitwick led them into a large empty room.

"The basic test items of the duelist are based on your spell accuracy, spell casting speed, and magic sensitivity, although these three abilities can be improved through continuous practice, but talent is very important for the duelist, I will find your respective strengths, and then help you dig deep into the potential in your respective areas of expertise."

"Wizards who are fit to compete in the open ring don't necessarily do well in obstacle courses with difficult terrain, and all-rounders are often hard to come by, so you just need to do your best where you do best."

"Come on, let's start testing."

The basic test items are actually not difficult or complicated, and the test to detect the accuracy of the spell is to shoot the target, from the static target that needs to be aimed at to the dynamic target, and then the static and dynamic rapid fire that does not give time to aim and relies on feel and intuition, and even the faith shooting that hides behind cover and only exposes the weapon is also within the scope of the test.

According to Professor Flitwick, some people just have more 'faith' in shooting than others, even if they don't know where the enemy is, even if it's just a seemingly foolish blind shot, those who have so-called 'faith' can always use cramp marksmanship or stray bullets to get lucky to kill the opponent.

In the Muggle world, there is no metaphysics, but in the wizarding world where divination and prophecy exist, metaphysics really exists.

Especially the wizards from the African Vagado School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they often have an unexpected 'faith' BUFF bonus, and there has been a legendary defeat record in the history of duels, a wizard with an extremely 'pious' faith after shooting a stun spell, this spell after more than fifteen rebounds, successfully killed the opponent who had suppressed him since the beginning of the war.

This unscientific but very magical stream of belief was slowly recognized by the duelists after various outrageous incidents, after all, the evil door is also a door, and it is good to have multiple ways out.

It's a pity that both Harry and Kassandra seem to be a little less religious when it comes to faith streaming, but otherwise both of them are doing well.

In the case of aiming, Harry got almost a full ring on the ten-meter, twenty-five-meter, and fifty-meter static target, and the dynamic target also achieved excellent results in thirty rounds and twenty-eight, although Miss Kassandra, who refused to admit defeat, was a little mediocre, but the results were not bad, and even crushed Harry in the static fixed target shooting, the MR73 revolver with its own quadruple mirror is really an artifact, and the natural change of this wand is not cheating, it can only be said to be quite a relieu.

Looking at Kassandra with a faint provocation on her face, Harry sighed helplessly.

"I'm going to start bullying people."

Harry, who had pulled out the ebony and white ivory, casually raised his hand in the face of another rising target, and his natural sense of gunfire allowed him to hit quite well when he was not aiming.

Thirty targets were quickly emptied in less than twenty seconds, blowing non-existent gunsmoke, and Harry, who had handsomely put his two guns in his pockets, turned around and left without looking back, this was almost a tailor-made project for him, and there was no possibility of comparison at all, Miss Malfoy, who was already fully aware of the gap, gritted her teeth without saying a word, how annoying this pretending B criminal looked, it was simply bad.

Harry, who didn't care about bullying the little girl, came to Professor Flitwick's side, and after completing the basic test, it was time to talk about some things that were holding back in his heart.

"Professor Flitwick, I wonder if I can start learning the spell set you showed me earlier?"

Harry spoke with some anticipation, this kind of orthodox rapid-fire in the wizarding world is not only the mainstream choice of the wizarding world, but also a means to quickly increase his strength.

"I've been self-studying the spell textbooks before the fourth grade during the holidays, and although many of the magic uses are not so standard, I have basically mastered the surface."

"Really?"

The smile on Flitwick's face when he heard the news became more and more intense, the magic from the first to the third grade is basically not difficult, they are all entry-level magic, but from the fourth grade, the spells in the book are not so easy to learn by themselves, and the difficulty of getting started with spells is not in the spells, but in the cooperation of sentences and gestures, these things are not recorded in detail in the book, so wild wizards who have not received orthodox magic education are often quite poor.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible." Flitwick restrained the smile on his face, and then looked at Harry with a very serious expression, "Although you have mastered some fur, don't think that you have mastered those magic, there are many things that are not recorded in the book, I think you should also feel the bottleneck you encounter when using spells." ”

"Yes, for example, magic rapid-fire, the rate of fire of white ivory three rounds a second is not its limit at all, or even only its lower limit, the rate of fire of more than ten rounds per second should be its real speed, but I can't do it, my knowledge and mastery of spells are still too low and crude."

"It's good that you can find that."

Professor Flitwick nodded in satisfaction, "I can claim the additional magazines for you in advance, you don't have to wait until the second year, but this will need to wait until you have practiced the most basic spell group charms to the real beginning." ”

"Spells are a tool for wizards to fight and live, and it is precisely because of this that we must not be careless when using them, and I don't want my good students to suffer some tragedy that should not happen because of recklessness and impulsiveness."

"I will, Professor Flitwick, thank you."

"If only you could remember." Flitwick waved his hand at Harry, then beckoned to Kassandra, who was frowning at the test results, "Miss Malfoy, you can come here, and I will customize the training plan for you in the early stage according to the different strengths of the two of you." ”

Flitwick began teaching as a strict mentor, and the first week of Hogwarts life and learning officially ended.
