Chapter 584: The Pain of Shattering Illusions
The young wizards scattered in a circle, surrounding Professor Bryan and the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan, eager to see the duel happen immediately, but Professor Bryan was still a little long-winded.
"--I will suppress my strength within a reasonable range, and will not use some 'super-means', of course, I will also remove some restrictions, for example, you cannot use teleportation in the Hogwarts campus environment, and here, I will use apparition to fight you, you need to be mentally prepared--"
Harry smacked his lips, he had experienced transfiguration with Professor Bryan last summer, and it was a bad feeling.
Both Hermione and Cedric stared at Professor Bryan in the circle with wide eyes, they were currently in a period where they were in desperate need of teaching, and any knowledge could possibly help them get through it.
And some of the young wizards who didn't know anything about Apparition finally figured out what kind of technique it was after some inquiry, and then they looked forward to the duel that was about to take place.
Looking at the three little ones who were still giggling, Amosta pursed his lips and said patiently,
"Please be prepared, guys, we're going to have a real duel, I'll not be so friendly later, and something may happen more than you think—"
"Come here, Professor, we're ready!"
Fred said with a grin.
"Okay--"
Amosta sighed helplessly, no matter how many words there were, the fact that it was not bloody was more powerful, and after instructing the little wizards around him to stay farther away, and to keep quiet and not to get involved in the duel, Amosta said calmly,
"You can get started—"
Contrary to Amosta's expectations, the twins' team did not immediately attack him, and the three little ones stood in a row, their wands in their hands, and their eyes looked him up and down.
"Where should we start?"
Lee Jordan weighed the wand in his hand and asked George beside him with interest.
"Let me think--"
George twisted his neck, and the expressionless Professor Bryan didn't make him feel scared, "What spell is the most entertaining?" ”
Everyone expected that even though Professor Blaine claimed that he would suppress his abilities, the duel would end quickly, but no one foresaw that it would be a scene!
Syllable!
A sudden soft sound came into the ears of the three little wizards on the field, and then, they immediately found out that Professor Bryan, who had been standing dozens of feet away in front of them, suddenly disappeared, this sudden change made them a little dazed, however, before they could figure out this problem, a sharp howl suddenly hit behind them and suddenly made the three of them stand on end!
The long-term training was not without effect, and in the blink of an eye, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan realized that the attack was coming from behind, and each of them made a dodge move, but it was because of that moment of hesitation that the best opportunity to dodge was lost.
Wow!
Fred and Lee Jordan lunged forward, and they were lucky enough that Professor Bryan was not targeting them in the first wave, but George Weasley.
A terrible and painful roar resounded through Amosta's mental space!
Fred and Lee Jordan, who had rolled around on the ground, looked back, and then they saw an unforgettable scene in their lives!
A two-foot-long stone spike pierced George's thigh, the stone thorn did not leave George's body, it was nailed to the ground with George, George threw himself on the ground and wailed in pain, and the blood gushing out of his thigh from the piercing wound stained this pure white world red!
At this moment, all the little wizards watching the battle felt that it was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads in the cold winter wax moon, and the chill that poured out of their hearts made everyone tremble.
Many young wizards wanted to scream, but fear grabbed them like big powerful hands, preventing them from making a sound!
"What are you doing!"
Fred roared angrily, he and Lee were about to pounce in front of George, who would most likely have fainted if the pain was not weakened, but Professor Bryan raised his wand again at this time, and a gray light came out of the tip of his wand, slid into the air and turned into a sharp half-moon, spun rapidly and rushed towards Fred and Lee!
Bang!
The instinct from survival caused both Fred and Lee to choose to dodge, but the problem was that the two people standing side by side chose to dodge in the opposite direction, one to the left and the other to the right, and then, their heads slammed together!
The power of this instinct to avoid life and death was terrifying, Fred and Li who collided together didn't even make a sound of snorting, they just lay on the ground unconscious, and their bodies flickered immediately after falling into a coma, and disappeared in the spiritual world of Professor Bryan in a silence!
A sneer tugged at the corner of Amosta's mouth, and he waved his hand, and the stone spike on George's leg disappeared instantly, and then, he himself disappeared with his two teammates.
"The three of them have died at my hands—"
Amosta slowly spun around and stared indifferently at the silent little wizards, all of whom lowered their heads, and no one dared to respond to his gaze,
"I don't think anyone thinks that dueling is just an interesting skill that can provide you with bragging rights, right?"
Professor Brian's course has never been simple, and every little wizard who has come to this day has suffered enough, but after the initial test, basically everyone has made up their minds to persevere, and with the start of the new school year, the new changes in physical education class make them even more proud of their choice, but tonight, the idea of quitting rises again from the hearts of these students!
The real duel is not a glamorous spectacle, but a real cruelty!
George left, but perhaps Professor Bryan was trying to deter them, and the blood George left behind remained on the pure white ground, stinging everyone's eyes.
"In the face of danger, in the face of life and death, pain is only the most insignificant thing--"
Professor Blaine's voice seemed to emerge from the icy hell, freezing the little wizards shivering,
"You will face the possibility of losing your family and friends at any time, you will face despair, you will face death, do not expect miracles to happen in this situation!"
Professor Bryan snapped, words like iron,
"Prudence, courage, determination to live, tacit understanding, and well-honed skills-—— only these can help you defeat the enemy and win the possibility of life!"
In the silence, there was a sudden suppressed sobbing, and his mind was muddy, but Harry still instinctively looked at it when he heard it, it was Cho Chang, she covered her mouth, tears of fear fell one by one, Harry opened his mouth, but after finding that Cedric, who was close to Cho Chang, was silent, his mouth closed again.
No one has the opportunity to give up, they have to stay the course.
Hermione finally looked up, she stared blankly at Professor Blaine, there had never been a moment when Professor Blaine was so scary as she was now!
It was obviously not in accordance with the rules or even the law to teach the little wizard like this, but Hermione couldn't make any comments, because she knew very well that Professor Brian was teaching the 'real thing', the skills that would really survive when they were in danger in the future.
Prudence, courage, determination to live, tacit understanding, skill.
Hermione silently recited Professor Blaine's 'test point', and an inexplicable power flooded from the bottom of her heart, and the fear caused by the Triwizard Tournament project seemed to be quickly disappearing.
Amosta was observing everyone, and he quickly sensed Hermione's change as he contained everyone's mental projections, and he stopped in front of her, still looking indifferent,
"Every team needs to go through a test tonight, and now, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, it's your turn—"
