The man behind Hogwarts

"what?"

"Why the Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse?" Ian frowned in confusion. The Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse is an auxiliary and defensive magic that few people use in duels.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class has practical training from time to time, and Ian has never seen anyone use this spell.

Could it be that...William guessed that Jim would use fire spells to attack?

That's not right. Even if Jim can attack with a fire spell, William doesn't have to defend himself with water and fire. First of all, he can use crow to block it. Secondly... the first attack in the duel, just give him a disarming spell to prevent Jim from attacking. alright.

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out!

Ian was not the only one confused, everyone watching the battle did not understand what he meant.

The magic power of the water and fire invulnerability curse appears gray-white. When it falls on the wizard, it will form a magic blessing that cannot be broken by ordinary water and fire.

Gray-white magic flew out from the tip of the wand...

Just when everyone thought the magic would fall on William, what happened in the next scene made their jaws drop.

The gray-white magic power split into five streams in the air and fell on the five crows.

"Ah, I understand! You can still do this!!!" Ian exclaimed.

The five crows received the magic blessing of the Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse at the same time, and their bodies emitted a faint light. Among them, the three crows injured by the rocket curse immediately extinguished the flames on their bodies.

The five crows recovered and rushed towards Jim.

Jim finally finished reciting the spell in his mouth, and as expected, it was another fire spell. Unfortunately, his fire spell was just an ordinary magic. Its intensity was not as strong as the powerful fire spell, and its range was not as good as the blazing fire.

Although some crows were splashed by the flames, they were not harmed at all due to the protection of water and fire.

While avoiding the crow's attack, Jim looked for opportunities to cast spells. He sometimes waved his arms to defend himself, and sometimes curled up into a ball.

He has more combat experience than Henry, and after Henry's failure in the last battle, he is ready to be attacked by the crows.

While avoiding the crow, Jim felt both embarrassed and lucky.

Obviously William was not serious, otherwise he could defeat himself by casting a random spell at this time, but he didn't. It seemed that he was waiting for himself to break the transformation spell + the water and fire invulnerability spell.

An open and honest magic contest,

William made a random move and waited for Jim to crack it.

Jim's previous rocket spell was quite effective. At least he thought of using the splash effect of broken rockets. If he was given some time, there might be more surprises.

Seeing Jim getting more and more embarrassed,

"Jim, do you need to admit defeat?" Cedric asked.

"No!"

Very good, his high-spirited look impressed everyone present.

William also likes how he looks now, how high-spirited he is now, and how convinced he will be later.

"Come on Jim!"

"Fire spell, keep using the fire spell!"

The Slytherin snakes were inspired by Jim. They swept away the shadow of Henry's defeat and cheered loudly for Jim.

Jim waved his arms to drive away the crows, and when they were a little far away from him, he immediately pulled up his sleeves and robe to cover his face, and then used his wand with his other hand.

"It seems that everyone thinks that I can also use fire spells. This is a good opportunity. I want to take it by surprise."

Resisting the crow's pecks, Jim gathered his unprecedented energy and chanted the spell with great difficulty.

Casting spells in this situation is difficult,

Even Jim, who has a tough personality, finds it difficult.

Every spell cast is not just about reciting a spell and waving a wand, but more importantly, it is a perfect match of thoughts, spirit, etc.

Jim gets distracted every time he's attacked.

Fortunately,

The mantra was finally recited completely.

Moreover, the gestures and thoughts of waving the stick are not wrong.

"He must not be able to react!"

He suddenly threw off his sleeves and pointed the wand at William, only to see that William still looked like an old god.

"William, you will pay for your arrogance!"

"A salvo of ten thousand bullets!"

Seven or eight fist-sized falcons appeared out of thin air, like giant bullets shooting at William, arriving in an instant.

Jim looked straight ahead,

This magic is the best magic he can come up with and use. It can be said that he relies on all his counterattack power. If it succeeds, it will be considered as breaking William's attack, which can increase experience for Fran and others;

If it fails...

That is defeat.

Salvo belongs to a special category of spells, because this spell combines the power of transformation and summoning.

Wizards often use this kind of magic spell in battle. Firstly, its casting speed is faster than pure transformation, and secondly, it can also have the wonderful effect of transformation.

Even if the crows react, they will never be able to resist all the falcons.

Jim has calculated it,

In order to summon enough falcons, he forcibly extended the spell time to instill more magic power.

William is now defenseless and will definitely succeed.

The eyes of the spectators followed the falcon and came to William in an instant. Just as the snakes were about to cheer, William raised his right hand holding the wand.

"Armor protection!"

A golden shield appeared in front of him, and Hayabusa crashed into it as if he had fallen into a trap.

With several consecutive "bang bang bang" sounds, all the falcons turned into a few balls of mud, and then dissipated invisible.

"how is this possible?!!"

Everyone was stunned and exclaimed, and everyone had expressions of disbelief, especially Jim.

"He actually knows the Iron Armor Curse..." A strong sense of frustration hit his heart, Jim lowered his arms and muttered to himself: "No wonder he looks defenseless, an Iron Armor Curse is enough to defend against all my attacks, and he casts spells so fast. "

"No wonder."

"It's not that he is arrogant, it's that I am too weak!"

Five crows turned into a ball of black smoke and surrounded him. Jim quickly raised his hands and admitted defeat. There was no hope of victory against such an opponent.

Cedric: "Are you sure you want to admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat, admit defeat." Jim said in frustration.

Cedric announced that the duel was over, and William called back the crows and let them fly to the trees to keep company with a group of crows.

"The winner of this game is, William!"

"Yeah!" Evelin smiled like a flower and clapped her hands repeatedly in front of her chest, "It's so beautiful. William, your iron armor spell is awesome."

William smiled and said: "Thank you."

The little snakes helped Jim sit on the pad. He looked exactly like Henry. The skin that could be seen was full of crow peck marks, and blood could be seen seeping out of his hands.

He lasted longer than Henry and naturally received more attacks.

Jim didn't feel much during the duel, but now he suddenly relaxed and felt as if his whole body had been struck by lightning, and no part of it was without pain.

"Ah~"

As soon as he sat down, he immediately stood up, covering his butt with his hands and howling.

The crow was so cunning that he didn't even spare his butt... Fortunately, he didn't attack his head, and he was merciful and didn't hurt little Jim.

Thinking of this, Jim felt a chill in his heart and his body trembled.

"...The fact that I survived with all my hands and feet is because of William's mercy."

Seeing him howling miserably, Cedric couldn't bear it. He turned to look at Trina who was watching the battle on the right, "Trina, you seem to have healing magic. Please help them two deal with it."

Trina nodded in agreement,

After checking it, he said, "Fortunately, it's all purely physical injuries, with no magical effects. I should be able to treat them."

After saying that, he recited a spell, and a stream of green magic fell on Jim. From his neck down, the green magic flowed through his body like a water curtain.

Wherever green magic flows through, the red and swollen wounds will recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, only a few small red spots will remain.

"Okay." Trina said, "After a night's rest, the red spots will be gone. Or you can ask Madam Pomfrey for another look, and the red spots should be gone."

Jim thanked him quickly: "Thank you, it doesn't hurt anymore. I just need to rest."

Next, Henry was treated in the same way. The two looked at each other with a very bitter smile.

……

The duel continues.

When Henry and Jim were defeated one after another, the hearts of the little snakes suddenly fell to the bottom.

This result was something they never expected. Although Fran had emphasized William's power many times, they had not experienced it personally and always unconsciously incorporated William's strength into their own perceptions.

In their opinion, Fran was already strong enough, but there were back and forths when training with Jim and others.

Although Fran won every time, it was not easy for him to win, and the little snakes did not feel that they were invincible.

But what happened today...

When Henry failed, the little snakes comforted him by saying that he was careless;

Jim failed, and the little snakes suddenly discovered that this was simply a difference in strength.

Looking at the graceful and independent young man in the center, the little snakes felt like they had mixed feelings, including the frustration of failure and the admiration for the strong.

"Fran, who's going to play next?" Cedric asked.

A second-year Slytherin stepped out of the crowd... and walked towards William.

...but also towards failure.

After three minutes,

"Fran, who's going to play next?" Cedric asked again.

Another second-year snake came out.

Looking at the look in his eyes and his unswerving steps, even those who don't like Slytherin College have to admit it.

Slytherin does not lack courage.

It's just that their courage is often hidden under pride and nobility. Only when they really need to fight for honor will their courage burst out.

Evelin straightened her expression. At this moment, she was also moved by Slytherin's spirit of going forward.

Ian murmured: "This is the noble Slytherin!"

Ariel covered her little mouth. She found that the second-grade Slytherins she once hated seemed a little cuter at this moment...

Although it's still annoying, it's not as hateful anymore.

opposition,

salute,

elegant etiquette,

Cautious attitude.

William could feel the wand cheering in his hand,

Acacia seems to enjoy the thrill of defeating its enemies. Every time it defeats an enemy, it becomes more powerful.

"The acacia tree, which refuses to be used by anyone but the master of the wand, and displays its best properties only to the most gifted..."

"Generally speaking, wands made from dragon nerves are the most powerful and cast the most dazzling spells."

William's wand is made of an acacia tree on the outside and the heart nerve of a dragon on the inside. It is thirteen inches and one-third long.

At that time, William bought it at Ollivander's Wand Shop for 7 Galleons.

But now, it has shown its best performance to William. The spell casting feels extremely smooth, the spell formation speed is faster, and the magic power is greater.

Just defeat all enemies and it will become stronger and stronger.

The atmosphere in the woods gradually became serious, and Cedric's voice presiding over the duel became more solemn.

pity……

Another three minutes!

The fourth challenger raised his hands and surrendered, again with only two rounds.

It was too fast, faster than the Flash. Simply performing the duel salute took more than a minute, and the duel ended in only two rounds.

The challenger first used fire magic to interfere with the crow's attack, and then used his best attack to avoid the power of the crow's attack. Jim had proven that this method was the most effective, and latecomers rushed to imitate it.

To their despair,

William only used three magic spells from beginning to end.

No matter what magic attacks the little snakes use,

He always uses these three moves.

It just so happened that these three magic spells could not be cracked by the little snakes at all, and that was even if William gave them enough time.

First, the transfiguration spell was used to summon crows, then the water and fire invulnerability spell was used, and finally the iron armor spell was used to defend.

Since summoning the crow, William has never taken the initiative to attack again. He seems to be expecting someone to solve the crow problem so that he can use other magic...

Seeing their own side being defeated again and again, the members of F.A. felt like they were mourning for their heirs.

"Lost again..."

Jim's face is like a sinking lake. Only when you really fight against William will you understand how strong he is.

He is like a high mountain, no matter how strong the wind blows, he remains firm; no matter how heavy the rain pours, he remains indestructible.

Huge pressure came over me.

"No, it's not that we are too weak, but that William is too strong!"

Jim's eyes sparkled, "William is a recipient of the Second Order of Merlin, he is the founder of the Gem Club, he is the Eagle of Ravenclaw, and he is the best student in recent years..."

"Being defeated at his hands is not only not a shame, but also something to be proud of... It is an honor to lose!"

"Such a strong man...if you can follow him..."

The tragic eyes of the little snakes changed unconsciously. The "sad" emotions gradually decreased, and the "strong" emotions gradually increased.

Jim even had a bold idea...

Let William continue to win, defeat everyone, defeat Fran, and become the strongest!

Fran's heart skipped a beat and she felt a chill run down her spine.

When he looked back, he only saw the fiery eyes of Jim and others, as if they were about to burst into flames.

"Fran, who's going to play next?" came Cedric's serious voice.

A second-year Slytherin walked out of the crowd,

He walked across from William and looked at William with an indescribable look, with an excited smile on his face... William always felt that this look was very familiar.

I seem to have seen this look somewhere before,

Where is it……

"Remember, this is how Leed looks at me, this is how Kyle looks at me, this is how Xiao looks at me, and the way all the fraternity members look at me is exactly the same as him."

"Yesterday's Brotherhood, today's Slytherin."
