HP: Embrace the Darkness

Ases sighed, raised his foot and swept it sideways, lightly kicking the knee.

Once this position is attacked, you will fall immediately without a stable lower body.

Then Ases stretched out his hand and steadily caught the boy who was kneeling on the ground, while holding his movable joints to prevent him from fighting back.

"You are not as strong as me, so you should win with skills. Take advantage of the surrounding environment, take advantage of people's hearts, take advantage of the shortcomings of the human body. Anything is fine. It doesn't matter if the means are despicable, as long as it works."

Ases was really helpless.

Even though Gavin and his friends couldn't beat him, they still gouged his eyes and choked him. To describe them as despicable is to praise them.

As a result, Snape, who grew up in Spinner's End, just kept attacking honestly, more honestly than playing in an international competition. Shouldn't he be praised as a gentleman?

"Why use those means? We are not facing life or death now." The young man who was pinned down and unable to move said in a muffled voice.

Ases let go of his hand. "I understand what you mean, but you underestimated me. If it really comes to a life-and-death situation, you won't even have a chance to fight back."

"Come again."

The boy lay there, motionless.

Ases has good physical strength, and a few hours of activity is equivalent to warm-up, but he is different. He can last that long only because of his willpower.

Ases was stunned for a moment before he realized that he should take a rest.

This cannot be blamed on him. His opponents have always been energetic men like Gavin. Once they start fighting, they will roar and can't stop at all. Even Joel is still strong and healthy when fighting, and is not inferior to him.

Sure enough, his plan was correct. If he had followed the original plan, the "fragile" boy could have stayed in bed until tomorrow noon.

Ases felt relieved and reached out to pull the man up from the ground.

"Don't lie down, get up and walk around first."

The boy was lying comfortably when he was pulled up. He moved reluctantly with a look of reluctance on his face.

At least he took some action. Ases pretended not to notice that he was slacking off and turned a blind eye to it, allowing him to dawdle for half an hour.

"How do you feel now? Can you continue?" asked Ases.

The boy, who had barely recovered some strength, attacked without saying a word, aiming for the throat.

Ases twisted his wrist and his Adam's apple rolled twice. At the last second before he was hit, he stepped forward, knocked the boy's arm away at lightning speed, grabbed the collar of his training suit, and threw the boy out.

The young boy Snape fell on the mat one meter away. His elbow was not retracted in time and hit the mat with a crisp sound.

Ases heard the sound as if it was dislocated, so he didn't go over to check, but just raised his hand and waved.

"continue."

The young man turned over and stood up, rushed to Ases in a few steps, and attacked Ases with one hand. This time Ases did not fight back, but just kept backing away, like a slippery fish, he dodged all the continuous punches.

The boy's eyes rolled and he began to attack his lower body. Ases's dodging movements became three times faster and he also predicted the direction of his attack, constantly dodging the attacks one step ahead.

The rustling sound of wind brushed past his ears, blowing up the hair on his forehead. Ases narrowed his eyes, and suddenly changed his movements. He grabbed the arm that was hitting him, and flexed his hands backwards with force. He took a step to avoid the injured hand and pinned the man to the ground.

“There is progress, but it’s not enough.”

After a pause, he loosened his hand.

"Get up first, let me see your hands."

The young Snape didn't move. Athis frowned and leaned over to pull him, but was caught off guard by a hand. Then, his abdomen was pressed against, and the world turned upside down in an instant.

Ases reacted the moment his collar was grabbed, but he did not resist. Instead, he let the other party throw him to the ground, and even deliberately protected the hand that was holding him when he fell.

The boy's arms were shaking with pain, but his face was filled with an unprecedentedly wanton smile.

"you lose."

"Well done." Athis stood up, his white shirt stained with mud, looking a little embarrassed. He patted it twice and ignored it, extending his hand to the young Snape, "But this won't happen again. Give me your hand, I'll see if your injury has worsened."

The boy then stretched out his hand obediently.

Thanks to Ases's non-resistance and protection, the dislocated arm was just dislocated, and Ases used both hands to reconnect the arm.

There was a crisp sound.

The muscles on the boy's face twitched.

It seemed to be in great pain, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Asais looked at him and thought of something else for no reason, "Are you afraid of pain?"

"Not really." The young Snape spat out two words coldly, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "I have to thank my nominal...father for this."

Ases lowered his eyes, carefully pressed the joints, confirmed that the arm was connected properly, and whispered: "You may feel a little uncomfortable these few days, bear with it, and come to me if there is anything wrong."

"Got it." Perhaps because of the mention of his alcoholic father, the boy's high spirits fell back. He sat up alone, looking at the clouds in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Ases waved and checked the time.

It's already noon.

"Let's go and have lunch."

The boy blinked, put all his emotions under control, and returned to his usual gloomy and withdrawn self.

"He's not coming back to eat?"

They both knew who this he was.

Ases paused and said nonchalantly, "I don't know either."

"He went to see Lily?" The boy's voice was tentative. "In your world...did something happen to Lily?"

Aces didn't know whether he should say it or not. These were things that didn't happen. If he didn't say it and Snape didn't say it, the boy would never know that in his original future he would be charged with the crime of murdering his best friend and become a Potions professor at Hogwarts.

"Since you are silent, it seems that it is the case." The young man quickened his pace and walked to Aces' side. "Can you tell me why she had an accident?"

Aces forced a smile and said, "Voldemort's power is at its peak. It's only a matter of time before he starts a war. And war always leads to death."

"Because of Voldemort?" The boy seemed relieved, and his tone was much more relaxed. "If Voldemort was not around, would Lily be safe?"

"Theoretically, yes."

As they were talking, the two returned to the cabin.

Rocky had prepared lunch early. When he saw the two men coming back, he diligently wiped the wooden floor where they were leaving. "Masters, please leave."

Aces nodded to Rocky and said, "Prepare some lunch for Sif."

Whether Snape comes back to eat or not, it's better to be prepared.

Rocky ran to the kitchen anxiously, muttering something that only he could understand.

The boy was very alert and didn't trust the house-elf that had just appeared. "Is it going to stay here forever?"

bang-

The plate in Rocky's hand fell down.
