Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 946 Duel

  At this moment, somewhere on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Albert is adjusting his mentality and making final preparations. The next victory or defeat is very important to him.

  As long as he defeats Professor Flitwick and completes the previously triggered missions, he won't have to worry about fighting the dark wizard in the future.

  Mission: Challenge the champion.

  Filius Flitwick was an experienced duel enthusiast, and he had won the honor of the duel champion when he was young. Although he is old now, his strength is still not to be underestimated. As your teacher, Flitwick plans to test your true level on the last day of teaching, and insist on five minutes in Flitwick's hands.

   Reward: 5000 experience, acquired skill: wizard duel.

   In addition to this, there is another task that I want to complete more.

  Mission: Better than Blue.

  Filius Flitwick is an excellent dueling master and also your teacher. He is also a hurdle that you can hardly overcome at present. Challenge him in a duel and defeat him to prove yourself.

  Reward: 20,000 experience, 2 skill points, acquired skill: Flitwick duel skill.

   "Mr. Anderson, are you ready?"

  Professor Flitwick looked at his favorite student, looking forward to the next duel. He was very aware of Albert's potential and growth rate, and believed that he would become an excellent dueling master in a short time.

   "I'm ready to teach."

  The two walked towards the field they had cleared out, and the two sides never planned to use the etiquette of wizard duels from the very beginning.

  If the enemy they are dealing with is a dark wizard, the two sides will never have the opportunity to do that.

  The duel began without warning.

  If it was someone else, they might be knocked down by a sudden stun spell, or confused by a sneak attack.

  However, Albert skillfully used the Iron Armor Charm, and gently brushed away the oncoming spell, with an understatement, as if he had just waved away a mosquito.

  While fending off the stun spell, Albert did not forget to attack Professor Flitwick. It is not enough to only focus on defense. He must attack to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, so as not to be suppressed and to win the opportunity for himself.

  A fireball flew towards Professor Flitwick. This was one of the most basic ways to use the Explosive Curse, but Albert's magical power made it much more powerful.

   There is no doubt that this is a very dangerous magic.

  Before the fireball flew to Professor Flitwick, he was swung away by his wand. A big tree on the right was blown in half by the spell, and it was the first to suffer an unwarranted disaster.

  Amidst the sound of trees collapsing, Albert used magic to yank the broken tree, and threw it directly at Professor Flitwick.

  Professor Flitwick didn't divert his attention, he just waved his wand, the menacing big tree suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then flew in the opposite direction, breaking several small trees.

  For a while, dead leaves flew, and under the control of Professor Flitwick, they moved towards Albert's cage, covering his sight, and three curses struck towards Albert under the cover of flying leaves.

   After Albert's vision was blocked, he waved his magic wand to form a thin shield in front of him, blocking the subsequent sneak attack.

   Yes he would do the same.

  If you only use the Iron Armor Curse to defend, you will probably suffer a big loss.

   Albert swung his wand and blew a gust of wind, which swept the leaves that were flying in the direction of Professor Flitwick, and used Professor Flitwick's method conveniently.

   This should be regarded as repaying the person in his own way.

  Professor Flitwick waved lightly, and the gust of wind stopped suddenly. He blocked Albert's spell under the flying leaves, staggered, and suffered a small loss.

  However, the counterattack came soon, and the flying leaves flew towards Albert from all directions like darts.

  Albert raised his wand, like holding a torch aloft, a large flaming circle of fire burst out from the tip of the wand, instantly engulfing the surrounding fallen leaves. Under Albert's control, the blazing flames rushed towards Professor Flitwick, and they were about to completely engulf him.

  The next moment, Professor Flitwick swung his wand like a sword, split the tumbling flames in two, and controlled a fire shield to form in front of him, blocking the attack behind Albert.

  After a series of intense attacks and defenses, the two of them were unscathed, but the surrounding trees were all covered with blood mold.

   "Okay, Mr. Anderson, show some real skills!" Professor Flitwick reminded kindly: "If your opponent is a dark wizard, don't show mercy when dealing with him."

  From the round of confrontation just now, it is not difficult to see that the two did not use their full strength. Perhaps it can be said that they are just exercising their dueling skills with each other now.

  No way, of course Albert has to delay, otherwise how would he complete the first task.

  Wizard duels are sometimes very fast, and may end in a flash. Sometimes it is not easy to last even five minutes.

   Albert adjusted his slightly rapid breathing rhythm, raised his wand and launched a new round of intensive attacks.

  The Explosive Curse was not aimed at Professor Flitwick, but at his feet, and the fallen leaves flew all over the place, almost knocking Professor Flitwick into a stagger.

Albert took the opportunity to launch a new round of attacks, just like Professor Flitwick once taught, fast, accurate, and ruthless, and each time was more oppressive. The successive attacks brought Professor Flitwick a lot. Under great pressure, when he held his breath to survive, he was almost blown over by the explosion curse.

  If Albert's attack followed closely, Professor Flitwick would probably be directly defeated.

   It's a pity that Professor Flitwick is also an experienced duelling master, so naturally he won't give Albert such a chance.

  The tree trunk that had been broken in two seemed to have long legs, and suddenly moved towards Albert Park. The menacing appearance brought a strong sense of oppression to Albert who was planning to attack, and directly disrupted his fighting rhythm.

Albert never thought about what would happen if he was hit by a big tree, and he didn't plan to try it himself. After freezing the tree with a freezing spell, he threw it at Professor Flitwick, and stopped it from flying towards him on the spell.

  Looking at the big tree flying towards him, Professor Flitwick frowned, and shattered the tree trunk with a wave of his wand. The flying sawdust flew towards Albert in the opposite direction like countless flying knives.

   Albert took advantage of the situation, and the sawdust that was flying towards him turned in the same direction, and flew towards the forest not far away, causing serious damage to the trees.

   Before he had time to take another look over there, he sensed the danger approaching and had to dodge sideways.

  The spell flew past Albert, and the big tree that was originally hit by Professor Flitwick's spell seemed to come alive, and the luxuriant branches were like a big hand clapping towards Albert.

   "No matter how you look at it, it looks like a transformation spell!"

   Albert was taken aback, and pulled up the defensive barrier in time to cover himself. Looking at the branches slapping towards the barrier outside, Albert suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

  Although Professor Flitwick is a professor of charms, it does not mean that he only uses spells.

   Almost got fucked.

   Really can't be distracted at all!

  Unfortunately, five minutes haven't passed yet.

   Albert plans to fight against Professor Flitwick after the first task is completed. At that time, there will be an extra skill, and the probability of defeating Professor Flitwick will be higher.

  The big tree slapped violently, and there was nothing he could do with the defensive barrier. It didn't mean that Professor Flitwick couldn't do anything with the barrier.

  He didn't know what spell he used, and almost shattered the defensive barrier.

  If the spell fell on someone, they would probably burp on the spot.

  Albert apparated outside the range of the big tree's attack, and a shattering spell blasted the branches swinging towards him into powder.

   Seeing this scene, Flitwick narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't understand his students even more.

  Of course, he recognized that it was the Shattering Curse, but the power of the spell seemed a bit high, and this was undoubtedly an advanced use of the Shattering Curse.

  However, it seems like an exaggeration. Being able to achieve this level shows how powerful Albert's own magical power is.

   Albert waved his wand, and the powder condensed into several spears, stabbing towards Professor Flitwick.

  The half of the tree that had fallen by the side suddenly blocked the stabbing spear like a long leg. Professor Flitwick used the half of the tree trunk as a shield and shot magic at Albert, but it was easily blocked.

  However, his offensive became faster and heavier, so that Albert could only hold on temporarily.

  The next moment, the spells of the two collided together, and entered the stage of the popular competition of magic power.

   Albert's magical power is undoubtedly much stronger than that of Professor Flitwick.

  Flitwick didn't want to face the opponent's advantage directly, so he let the half tree trunk in front of him run towards Albert, intending to directly interrupt the confrontation between the two.

  The two interrupted the confrontation at the same time, and while Albert pushed the annoying tree away, he gathered his strength and shot a spell at Professor Flitwick.

  Professor Flitwick seemed to sense the danger, and formed a very thin shield in front of him. When the spell hit the shield, there was a low sound, and the shield split.

   "Is this a cutting spell?"

  Professor Flitwick recognized the essence of the spell, some advanced use of the cutting spell.

  The general cutting spell can accurately cut the object being cast according to the will of the caster, but no one has ever used the cutting spell to this extent.

   This thing is no longer a cutting spell, but another very dangerous attack spell.

  If an ordinary wizard is hit, the end may be miserable. Just look at the crack marks on the shield. If Albert just yelled a spell, the shield might be broken.

   "I'd bet most self-proclaimed spell masters would be ashamed to slip in a crack if they knew you could use these simple spells like this."

  Professor Flitwick temporarily repelled Albert and did not give the opponent a chance to pursue him. Otherwise, God knows what more dangerous spells will come out. He suspected that Albert had deeply developed many spells, otherwise it would not be easy to use silent spells so skillfully.

   This way of fighting reminded him of Dumbledore.

  A lot of magic will become quite clever in the hands of Dumbledore, because the headmaster of Hogwarts has mastered a lot of advanced uses of magic.

  However, Professor Flitwick was not angry because of this, but a little excited, as if the feeling of his youth had returned.

   "Show me your true level, don't let me down." Professor Flitwick murmured.

   The duel is still going on, and it seems to be caught in a long tug-of-war.

  Professor Flitwick pressed very hard, as if he wanted to squeeze out Albert's full potential, and let Albert understand his fighting style by the way.

   Naturally, Albert could not learn everything based on the previous few lessons, but now is a good opportunity.

  Of course, Professor Flitwick actually enjoys this blood-boiling feeling. He hasn't felt it for many years, and he feels younger.

  Albert had acquired the wizard duel skill a long time ago, but unfortunately he didn't have time to upgrade it. Now he can only barely resist Professor Flitwick's attack.

  Although from the outside, the two may appear to be evenly matched, but Albert knew very well in his heart that he was just holding his breath and fighting. Once he let his breath out, he would probably lose.

  Look at the surrounding trees that were destroyed because of the battle between the two, and you will know that it is entirely because the situation is out of control.

  The movement here finally attracted Potter and his group.

  Speaking of it, it was just that the time had dragged on and the commotion was a bit loud, otherwise the group of people who were fooled by Albert would not be able to find their location.

   "My God!"

  Looking at the two people who were fighting the spell, whether it was Harry, Hermione or Ron, they were all dumbfounded.

  They never thought that the wizard duel would be like this, no wonder Fred, George and Lee Jordan wanted to be the melon-eating audience.

  Those who didn’t know thought they were fighting to the death.

  The two magic wands swished out bright light, and the spells collided with each other. All the surrounding trees were unlucky, and many of them were unlucky because of the rebound of the spells. Even the dead leaves on the ground showed signs of being ignited again.

   "There is no doubt, their magic is completely different from the magic we use." Fred said, looking at Albert who was confronting Professor Flitwick.

  A huge explosion blew up all the trees surrounded by the spell towards Albert. During the big explosion, Professor Flitwick was completely fine. A translucent protective barrier protected him, but there were some cracks in the barrier.

   "This power is terrifying. Isn't he afraid of blowing himself up?" Ron couldn't help swallowing.

   "This is the Explosive Charm." Sirius muttered, "It's more powerful than Peter's fake death."

   Before everyone could recover from the big explosion, the flames remaining on the ground suddenly grew larger and headed towards Professor Flitwick's protective barrier cage in an instant. Before the flames exploded, Professor Flitwick disappeared without warning.

   Immediately afterwards, Albert's feet were a little strange, as if stepping into a swamp, his feet actually sank directly into the ground.

  Albert immediately waved his wand, propped up the protective barrier, and by the way of Professor Flitwick's attack, bought time for himself to pull the general out of the ground.

   "Oh, my God, Professor Flitwick is really merciless." Ron whispered under Albert who was submerged by the explosion.

   "He's all right," said Lupine.

   "How did he do it."

   "Apparition."

   "What an amazing guy." Sirius wondered if he would be able to choke on Professor Flitwick.

  The high-intensity battle is still going on, but the situation is becoming more and more favorable to Albert, because he is young enough and has stronger magic power, so he will definitely last longer than Professor Flitwick.

   Win by fighting against each other.

   Although a bit shameless, but for the victory.

   "Disarm you!"

   Albert caught Professor Flitwick's flaw and successfully used the Disarming Charm. Professor Flitwick flew out together with his wand, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Won!"

  Albert was in a good mood when he saw the lighted task panel, but just as he was about to take a breath, he felt as if his body had been hit by something, and he flew upside down.

"this…"

  The eight people who stayed in the sky were all dumbfounded watching this scene.

  So, Professor Flitwick turned the tables in the end?

"Even if you remove the opponent's weapon, don't relax your vigilance. Some wizards can still pose a threat to you even if they don't have a wand, unless you completely subdue the opponent." Professor Flitwick waved his hand to recall the disarmed wand, and slowly walked towards Ai Bert, gave his last advice, "Never let your guard down when dealing with the enemy."
