Chapter 464: The Fearless Man
Professor Lupin led them into the second hallway, where they stopped, just outside the faculty lounge. "Please come in. Professor Lupin said, opening the door and taking a step back. The faculty lounge was a long, unmatched stretch of old chairs, where only one teacher was there. Professor Snape sat in a low armchair, and the class looked around as the students entered. His eyes lit up and he had a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Professor Lupin came in and closed the door behind him, at which point Snape said, "Don't close it, Lupin." I'd better not look at it. He stood up and paced past the class, his black robe fluttering behind him. Arriving on the porch, he turned and said, "Lupin, probably no one warned you, but Neville Longbottom is in this class." I advise you not to ask him to do anything hard unless Miss Granger whispers instructions in his ear. ”
Bai Lang laughed and patted Neville on the back, "That's why I said, your serious study of magic martial arts may also be a way out, I have to say that your talent in this area is much better than your spells and potions classes." ”
"Now, in this way," Professor Lupin said, beckoning the class to the end of the lounge. There was nothing there, only an old wardrobe, where the faculty kept their surplus robes. Professor Lupin walked over to the closet and stood still, the closet suddenly swayed and slammed against the wall. "Don't worry. Professor Lupin said calmly, as several of the students jumped back in fright. "There's a Boggart in there. "Most people feel like they need to be worried. Neville glanced at Professor Lupin, his eyes full of horror, and Seamus peeked in fear at the now-shaking doorknob.
"It's rare. Bai Lang rubbed his hands, "I'm very interested." Neville trembled, however, and Professor Lupin began to explain what a boggart was, and Hermione desperately raised her hand to answer the question. Of course, the professor also talked about Boggart's weaknesses and the spells to deal with them, "Funny funny! I think this spell is even funnier!" Bai Lang laughed. Neville was chosen to be the first student to go up to teach, and his feet were visibly shaking.
Professor Lupin said a long list of things that made Neville realize what he was most afraid of, what to do with it, and what to think when he recited the spell. Then everyone dispersed, and Professor Lupin opened the cabinet - and a Professor Snape came out, "Funny—funny!" Neville screamed. There was a noise, like the sound of a whip. Snape stumbled as he wore a long, lace-embroidered gown, a tall hat topped by an old carved specimen that had been moth-eaten, and a large scarlet handbag dangled in his hand.
The class burst into laughter, the Boggart paused, bewildered, and Professor Lupin shouted, "Parvati, come forward!"
One by one, the little wizards went up to try it, and the more they went up later, the better the performance. Bai Lang even felt a little pity for the Bogart, it changed in such a short time, and it looked like it was about to end. "Mr. Ronne!" shouted Professor Lupin, just as one of the conjured hands was caught in a rat trap. Bai Lang took a step forward, but his hand did not move, and he swirled on the ground with his fingers.
"I said, Professor, has this thing been broken?" said Bai Lang, Lupin looked at Bai Lang's face, "You are a brave child. I've never seen ...... No, I've seen such fearless people. He whispered, "It's okay, you go down first." Then Lupin raised his voice, "Mr. Ron!" and Ron immediately came up...... The spider that the rolling Boggart had turned into rolled in front of Harry.
He raised his wand, ready, but—"Stop!" Professor Lupin shouted suddenly, as he hurried forward. The legless spider is gone. For a second, everyone looked around to see where it was. Then they saw a silvery-white sphere hanging in the air in front of Lupin, and Lupin almost lazily said, "Funny funny!" Smack!" Come to the front, Neville, and bring it to fruition!" At the same time, Lupin said, the ball turned into a cockroach.
Neville ended up taking out the Boggart, a move that seemed to give him a lot of confidence - and the extra points Gryffindor received were nothing short of trivial. However, Bai Lang can be sure that after the news of today's class is spread, Neville will definitely be retaliated against by Professor Snape, and his hard life is still to come. And Bai Lang can be regarded as making his reputation as a "school bully" even louder - "fearless person".
The younger brothers also followed more closely, and by the end of class, they had already ignored the differences between the academies - especially the estrangement between the Snake Courtyard and the Lion Courtyard, and rallied around Bai Lang. As for Malfoy, they secretly said bad things about Bai Lang, "thugs without fear", "lawless thugs", this is what they can think of.
Zabini also tried to learn magic from Bai Lang, but he quickly gave up because he felt that he couldn't keep it up, and it seemed that he should be more successful in serious magic. "Waist and horse are one!" Bai Lang held a branch in his hand and whipped between Neville's waist, legs, chest and abdomen, not to mention Naville, his perseverance was really good. At present, this foundation work is very reluctantly passable in Bai Lang's opinion.
In the opinion of his innate master of martial arts, this level can only be used as a miscellaneous soldier, but in this world of England, Neville's foundation is already very good - the average knight will start cultivating a year or two earlier, but the difference is not big, and it is not suitable for large exercise and great strength before development. This is a Western exercise method, and with Bai Lang's breathing method at the moment, it can ignore this to a considerable extent.
In other words, Neville can now start to gradually increase his weight without affecting his body, and what Bai Lang wants to teach him is the foundation of martial arts - the combination of eyesight, pace and technique, and Bai Lang feels that it is enough to teach him the general short weapon technique. For those who must hold a wand in one hand, do they still teach him to grow weapons? Even with a spear, he can only hold the middle section, and it is impossible to play a long distance.
What else can there be in a short weapon? The traditional English hand and half sword broadsword, and then add the use of the morning star and the scepter is enough, and the shield is not used, anyway, magic can also be used as a shield. If the horse steps are tied to the waist and legs, then you have to teach footwork - this thing is not only in the East, the sword saints in the West have a set of footwork, and what Bai Lang taught Neville is circle footwork and eight-way footwork - it is enough for the little wizard to learn this.
A month later, Neville was already a little bit of a look. Hagrid's punishment has finally come down - Dumbledore has saved him, but the sin of assault has to be borne by Buckbeak.
