Chapter 63: Cedric's Fighting Skills
Zhang Xiao leaned on the podium in the classroom, looking at the circle of young wizards below, his dueling club used an invitation system, and the time allocated to everyone could be more if the number of people was small.
Moreover, his time is also very limited, and he needs to invest a lot of energy in the cultivation of the Daomen, as for the universal education, it is better to leave it to Malfoy and Harry.
The oldest is Cedric Diggory in the fourth grade, Zhang Xiao was still a little hesitant to invite him, after all, he was already in the fourth grade, but he didn't expect Cedric to be very happy.
In the Charms Club, he had already seen Penelope and Professor Flitwick respect Zhang Xiao, thinking that he would definitely learn something.
Except for Cedric, the others are generally people that Zhang Xiao is more familiar with.
Gryffindor: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville
In fact, Zhang Xiao didn't want so many Gryffindors at the beginning, the best situation is that there are one or two people in each college, and then they will carry out universal education in the college, but the three elementary schools are only bound, and they are not happy to take anyone, Neville is pure selfishness.
Slytherin: Malfoy, Davis, Pancy Parkinson
Pansy, the little witch, is very interesting, she doesn't actually have a position, her position is to follow Malfoy, she supports her unconditionally whatever she does, she belongs to the love brain, and she is completely helpless.
Davis is a representative of Slytherin half-breed and Muggle-born wizards, Davis, who has experienced bullying, is now a strong supporter of the Qingluan Society, and is quite active, and his grades are also quite high in the same grade, Zhang Xiao is very optimistic about his future development.
Ravenclaw: Autumn Chang
Zhang Xiao and Qiu don't have much intersection, and they have met and said hello in school, but they can only say that they are all liars in the movie.
Autumn looks pretty and doesn't look like anyone, autumn is just autumn, that's all.
She and Cedric are friends and were brought in by Cedric, but the two seem to be just friends.
Although she is Chinese, she speaks Chinese very poorly, almost only a little common greeting language, her family emigrated very early, and even Qiu herself can't understand when their family immigrated.
Originally, Zhang Xiao wanted to pull Luna the most, but unfortunately the first-grade wizard was forbidden to participate in the club.
Hufflepuff: Cedric
There are not many people, even he is only ten people, and they are basically the most influential figures in each academy.
Zhang Xiao looked at them and said with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I told you the reason for the formation of this club when I was invited, and I hope that everyone can gain something in this club.
After all, in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, we can't learn anything except poetry recitations and drama performances. ”
The young wizards couldn't help but laugh, especially Harry and Ron Malfoy, who hated the three of them as 'regular actors' in the drama performances.
"Before we begin, let's evaluate everyone's mastery of spells and carry out activities according to the actual situation."
Zhang Xiao waved his wand, and all the desks and chairs immediately slid neatly to both sides, and rows of neat cushions also flew out and spread in the center of the field.
"Raise your hand for the unconscious spell."
Hermione slowly raised her hand embarrassedly, Cedric also raised it, and Qiu Zhang whispered, "Is it okay to barely release it?" ”
Zhang Xiao nodded
"Count!"
Malfoy and Harry looked at each other and snorted at each other, the two of them spending most of their time training in Quidditch and had little time to learn.
Neville lowered his head, and while he was now beloved by young wizards, and few people called him stupid, his progress on spells was still slow.
Well, the Coma Charm is only available to three people.
"Alright, what about the Iron Armor?"
This time Harry and Malfoy raised their hands, and Hermione still held their small hands, and Cedric looked at them with some surprise, the Iron Armor Charm was supposed to be the content of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
It's just that for some well-known reasons, many young wizards in the fourth and fifth grades can't cast this spell intact, and Cedric himself has been practicing it in private for a long time.
Now the 2nd grade wizard can cast the Iron Armor Charm?
This time it was Ron's turn to bow his head in shame, when Harry practiced the Iron Armor Charm, he only persisted for 3 days and then gave up, indulging in Quidditch, Hermione saw that Harry knew how to practice and was also working hard, but he didn't insist.
Iron Armor Curse Four People
"Where's the Petrification Charm?"
This time, there were many people who raised their hands, except for Neville.
Soon one by one statistics came out, Zhang Xiao closed the clipboard, thought about it, and looked at Cedric:
"Cedric, let's try to fight."
"No problem!" The handsome little Hufflepuff guy showed a cheerful smile, he also wanted to know how Zhang Xiao's actual combat was, he had only heard of the battle with the stone dragon.
The distance between the two was about 10 meters, which was also the distance of a normal duel, and the other little wizards immediately dispersed, looking at the two with great interest.
Without the cumbersome etiquette before the duel, both sides directly pulled out their wands and began to prepare.
Zhang Xiao still used the sword in the way, and put on a starting hand style with both offense and defense.
Cedric was the pride of Hufflepuff, and he was already trying to incorporate something new while other young wizards were still chanting incantations aloud with their wands.
For example, now Zhang Xiao watched Cedric slowly move his steps from side to side, his wand shaking slightly, trying to attract Zhang Xiao's attention.
Then he suddenly whispered a mantra, and a crimson light shot out from the tip of the wand, and in the blink of an eye, it flew in front of Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao's wand flicked the spell away, the idea is but still very immature, although he can't use magic when he practices with his father, but the Taoist technique is flying!
It has long been beaten out of good consciousness.
Cedric didn't care about the magic spell that was bounced off, the magic spell was like a horn of attack, his wand waved again and again, his voice became louder unconsciously, and the power of the spell continued to increase.
This is a common tactic that uses non-stop spells to suppress the opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm and force the opponent to follow his own rhythm.
If you can also incorporate tempo changes, it's a relatively high-end technique, such as suddenly adding several sets of wand gestures to a spell in a few consecutive spells.
The opponent also released the Iron Armor Spell according to the inertia of the previous rhythm, and at this time, he could break through the defense in one fell swoop by pinching the right time.
The most typical example is when Sirius fought Lucius, adding an extra ring gesture before the disarming spell, and successfully picked off Lucius's wand.
Zhang Xiao was calm, watching the flight trajectory of each of his spells, and there was absolutely no need for spells to dodge through movements.
At the moment when Cedric had just finished casting the petrification spell, Zhang Xiao's wand suddenly raised, and a dazzling light flashed through Cedric's wand and came out of his hand.
The whole person also took a few steps back, okay, Cedric at least has a basic sense of battle, but Cedric is almost the ceiling below the fourth or fifth grade.
Looking at it this way, the situation is not optimistic
Several onlookers immediately let out a neat exclamation, and their hearts were surging when they watched, this was already a very powerful duel for them.
Harry even felt that if he couldn't even make a few hits, Malfoy applauded vigorously, and Cedric looked at the empty palm in surprise:
"You can cast the disarming spell silently? Is it still so powerful? ”
Zhang Xiao returned the wand to Cedric and shook his head with a smile:
"The only ones that can be cast silently are those few common spells."
"That's pretty good, too! Many students in 6th grade can't cast a silent spell well. Cedric put his wand back into his waist, gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up, and said admiringly:
"No wonder Professor Flitwick told me to learn from you, Zhang, can you teach me the art of the Silent Spell?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiao looked at everyone's expectant gaze: "And I hope that all of us can at least learn the Iron Armor Spell and the Stun Charm this semester." ”
He sighed secretly in his heart, after all, the school was not peaceful.
