Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 103 Fist and Truth

  Albert found a nice item in the catalog order. It was a small and exquisite silver phoenix badge, but the price was a bit expensive and needed a Galleon.

  However, Albert is still going to let the owl order it and give it to Nia as a Christmas present.

   After closing the catalog order and putting it back in the schoolbag, he closed the thick book on the table and was about to put it back to its original position. When Albert passed the bookshelf with the book, he looked at an acquaintance in surprise.

   "I've encountered a lot of trouble recently!" Truman looked a little surprised when he saw Albert, and said in a low voice, "However, you did a good job."

   "Thank you." Albert asked curiously after putting the book back on the shelf, "What are you looking for?"

   "Damn, useful curse!" Truman muttered in a low voice, "I'm going to duel with Ravenclaw Prefect Notch."

  Albert couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, what kind of show operation is this?

   "You and the prefect of Ravenclaw, duel?" Albert asked in a low voice.

   Truman nodded.

   "What's going on? Are you planning to hesitate to discuss, or... use a duel to resolve conflicts?" Albert had already guessed that possibility. If it was a friendship exchange, Truman would not have come here to find useful curses. "However, I'm afraid the school won't be too happy. They won't want to see students use duels to solve problems, and..."

   Albert thinks that Truman has little chance of winning. Since the opponent is a Ravenclaw prefect, it means that his grades are not bad, and there will be a gap between the two sides in mastering and using magic.

   "Noch insisted that Bridget Wenlock came from Ravenclaw." There was a hint of annoyance in Truman's tone.

   "Bridget Wenlock?" Albert asked suspiciously, he had never heard of this name.

"Bridget Wenlock was a famous arithmetic divination scientist in the thirteenth century. He was the first person to discover the magical properties of the number seven." Truman explained: "I am learning arithmetic divination and chatting with others about this. thing. Later, when he passed by, he said that Wenlock was from Ravenclaw, and I disputed this, and then, it became like this."

   "So, Bridget Wenlock is a Hufflepuff."

   "Of course, the chocolate frog card has an introduction of Bridget Wenlock." Truman took out a chocolate frog card and handed it to Albert.

   Albert asked after reading it, "Why didn't you give this to him at the time."

   "I asked a friend for this later." Truman explained, "Besides, I don't think the other party would admit it even if I showed it to him. That guy must have known that he was wrong, so he just refused to admit it."

   Albert already understood the reason for their duel,

  Typically arguing to insult each other, and then evolved into hitting people with hands and feet.

   In his previous life, Albert had seen too many such things, and there are a lot of people on the Internet who have this kind of virtue. However, because there is a layer of network, and they cannot climb over the network cable to beat people, so there is no manipulation, and they can only spray each other on network forums.

  This time is different, both sides have become angry from embarrassment.

  Perhaps, at the beginning, the Ravenclaw prefect himself remembered it wrongly. When the two sides sprayed each other until they blushed, even if they realized their mistake, they would not admit it. That's why it turned into this duel.

   Obviously, the Ravenclaw prefect was furious, or at least Truman thought so.

Not everyone has the courage to admit their mistakes like Gryffindor, no, even Gryffindor, few have the courage, just like the classic quote Dumbledore said: People are easy Forgive others for their mistakes, but it is difficult to forgive others for their right.

  Truman is to maintain the glory of Hufflepuff, at least, in their view, their college has finally got rid of a famous person, and you have no shame in insisting that it belongs to Ravenclaw.

   "Do you need me to give you a little advice?" Albert said in a low voice.

   "Okay!" Truman looked forward to Albert's proposal a little bit.

   "It's not a duel, it will get you into trouble." Albert reminded, "Don't admit that it was a duel."

   Truman is a bit regretful: “…”

   "You sure don't want to be locked up!" Albert said.

   "I don't want to." Truman nodded repeatedly.

   "Can you disarm the spell?"

   "No." Truman said gloomily.

"Follow me!" Albert signaled Truman to go out with him. The library is not a good place to talk. He has noticed that Mrs. Pince is looking towards this side. If you don't want to be kicked out by the chicken blanket, then Just leave by yourself.

  The two walked out of the library one after the other and came to the corridor outside.

   Albert looked at the Slytherin students passing by, narrowed his eyes and said to Truman: "The spell of the Disarming Curse is to remove your weapon, which is what he meant, it is to remove the opponent's weapon."

   "You mean, get rid of Noch's weapon." Truman's tone was a little excited. If a wizard loses his wand, it's like a tiger loses his minions.

"Yes. However, you must be the first to use it first." Albert suddenly said: "You must count one, two, three in a duel. When you count to one, you should attack him first, otherwise you probably won't be him. opponent."

   "But..." Truman seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Albert.

   "This is not a duel, is it?" Albert said lightly, "Wait until you disarm Noch, and while he is in a daze, use a body-binding spell, you know how to use it!"

   "Yes." Truman nodded.

   "Then, go up and beat him until he realizes that he is wrong." Albert made a punching motion.

   "Using fists?" Truman was a little unable to understand Albert's thinking mode.

"There is a saying that the truth is held in the fist." Albert looked at the stunned Truman and said, "Besides, he was indeed wrong, he refused to admit it, and wanted to teach you a lesson through a duel. You are two years older and know more about magic than you..."

   Albert paused suddenly, and his eyes fell on a certain red-haired girl in Ravenclaw.

   "Do you know Isobel?"

   "I've met people in the same club a few times." Albert continued after confirming that no one was around, "There is a saying that you can never wake up people who pretend to be asleep. The best way to wake them up is to wake them up."

   "Beat him hard!" Truman suddenly felt that it made sense, so what about a sneak attack, what he wanted was to give him a hard lesson.

Albert nodded and said: "Remember, don't use jinxes. Using jinxes is worse than using fists. At that time, after you are caught, you can tell Professor Sprout why you fought. Remember , It's a fight, not a duel, and your dean will definitely not punish you, after all, you are fighting for the honor of the academy."

   "It's all fine." Truman was stunned. He had already believed it for seven or eight minutes. Yes, he hit you for honor. When he was excited, he suddenly realized one thing, he would not disarm the spell.

"Come with me, I know what you need... a collection of self-defense spells." Albert took Truman in, "You need to find someone to practice with you, don't look at me, I don't have that kind of free time, you can find someone Chippaqi's friend."

   "Well, thank you, remember to watch the duel on the weekend." Truman grinned: "On the lawn near the Black Lake."

   "I will." Albert nodded and looked at Truman's back, his gaze fell on his task panel.

  Your friend does not have any advantage in the upcoming duel. As a friend, you should find a way to help him turn defeat into victory.

  Reward: 1000 experience, randomly get a skill from the task target, Gabriel Truman's favorability +10.

  Albert was a little interested in randomly obtaining a skill from the mission target. When he returned to his seat, Shanna, who had just finished her homework, asked curiously, "What did you do just now?"

   "It's nothing, I just met a friend and chatted for a few words." Albert noticed that Mrs. Pince looked over, shut her mouth quickly, checked the homework she had just finished, and put him away.
