The Admiral of Hogwarts

For some reason, the troll was charging directly towards where Hugo and the others were. As soon as Hugo saw the troll charging, he immediately followed the instructions of Penelope, who had been assigned to them, and ran quickly to the other end of the corridor, grabbing Hermione and his housemate Michael Corner along with Venetora.

Perhaps due to the magical attacks, the enraged troll swung the wooden club in its hand, smashing the armor placed on the side of the corridor, and then smashing the tapestry hanging on the wall. Fragments of broken bricks and torn tapestries flew in all directions, some even hitting the fleeing students.

Fortunately, the momentary stiffness of the troll when it rushed out gave the Ravenclaw students a precious escape time, so at first, the troll didn't find any students to attack. And for everyone, as long as they ran a little further, there would be a narrow secret passage and a broom closet, and they could guarantee their safety by squeezing in.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. Hugo heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him. Turning his head slightly, he saw a girl with long black hair fall to the ground, and behind her was the approaching troll.

This girl probably tripped over the uneven ground of the ancient castle while running. This was not surprising for people fleeing in panic, but with a troll chasing behind, this small mistake could be fatal.

Seeing this, Penelope, who had been with Hugo and the others, immediately rushed over to try to help the girl up, but the girl may have injured her leg when she fell, and she couldn't stand up and walk at all.

As the troll got closer and closer, both girls panicked. Although their brains kept reminding them to run away, they found that their legs were too weak to obey their brains, and they couldn't even stand up.

"Save her!" Seeing the troll quickly approaching the two girls and raising the club in its hand, Hugo immediately made a decision and issued an order to Venetora through the Admiral Network. Then, he raised the wand he had been holding in his right hand and pointed it at the wooden club the troll was about to swing down, chanting: "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Just as Hugo made the decision, the troll arrived next to the two girls and raised its arm, lifting the club in its hand high. Seeing this, Penelope subconsciously hugged the black-haired younger student tightly and screamed, waiting for death to arrive.

However, after waiting for several seconds, the two girls didn't feel the expected pain, only a fishy, foul wind blowing past their faces. When Penelope opened her eyes again, she found that the wooden club that was about to hit them was now floating in the air. And the troll was trying to reach out and grab the club.

Just as the troll was about to grasp the club, Hugo withdrew the magic he had cast on it. The club trembled slightly in the air before falling straight down.

Seeing this, the troll quickly bent down and changed its raised arm to a horizontal grab, trying to catch the falling club, but because of its slow reaction, it could only watch helplessly as the club fell straight down in front of its chest. However, just as the club fell diagonally to the troll's knee height, a small, white hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the club.

It turned out that Venetora had taken advantage of these few seconds to rush in front of the troll, and then, amidst the exclamations of the students on the field, grabbed the club that was about to hit the two girls.

"Vittorio!" Penelope, who had just raised her head to check the surrounding situation, called out Venetora's surname with a sense of relief after surviving a disaster, but soon her voice suddenly became sharp. "Be careful!"

"Ha!" Seeing the troll bend down and clap its hands towards her, seemingly wanting to smash herself and the two girls on the ground into meat paste, Venetora not only didn't retreat, but directly leaned forward in a bow step, approaching the troll, and at the same time swung the club in her hand in a full circle, smashing it towards the troll's right knee.

"Bang—Crack!" After a loud impact, the entire club broke into two sections in the collision. At the same time, the troll's knee, which had been in contact with the club, also made a sound like a branch breaking, and then the troll's entire right leg bent backward at a strange angle around the knee joint, like the legs of those reverse-jointed animals.

In an instant, the troll's right leg completely lost its balance and fell to the side and back. Its ugly face was completely twisted into a ball due to pain, and it let out a huge howl.

Taking advantage of the troll's temporary inability to care about the two girls lying on the ground, Hugo, who had already reached the edge of the battlefield, immediately rushed forward, grabbed the two girls by the collars behind their necks, and quickly dragged them away from the troll's attack range.

At this time, Venetora, in order to attract the troll's attention, quickly stepped on the troll's body and climbed upwards with both hands and feet. The troll endured the pain and tried to slap her away with one hand, but Venetora easily avoided it.

Under the action of gravity, the troll's huge body fell straight to the ground like this. Taking advantage of the troll's momentary daze when it fell to the ground, Venetora, who had just climbed to the troll's chest, suddenly supported herself against the muscles of the troll's chest with her left hand and bounced up, then stabbed the small half of the club held in her right hand straight into the troll's eye socket from top to bottom. Just as she waved her hand and stabbed down, that section of the club turned into a steel spike with a gray metallic luster.

"Aww—" A scream even louder than before came from the troll's mouth, and then it rolled around on the ground, while waving its hands wildly.

"Let's go!" Venetora shouted beside Hugo at this time, while helping him pull the two girls backwards. After completing the attack, Venetora avoided the troll's dying blow with a not-so-elegant lazy donkey roll, and then came to Hugo's side to help him retreat with his classmates.

When the two of them pulled their classmates to a safe place, the troll also stopped struggling and lay motionless on the ground with its limbs spread out. And the fatal wound was Venetora's final blow to the troll's head.

Hugo saw that the eye socket of the troll's left eye was stuck with the club that had just turned into a steel spike. Based on the length of the steel spike he had just seen, the length of the part now exposed outside the troll's body, and the angle of the steel spike, this steel spike should have completely penetrated the troll's brain and damaged the brainstem, which is why this tenacious troll died in just a few seconds.

"Crack—" At this moment, the Transfiguration spell cast on that half of the club completely失效了. The steel spike, which was originally only a little thicker than a thumb, immediately reverted to a wooden club as thick as an adult male's thigh, squeezing open the troll's head.

In an instant, scarlet blood mixed with white brain matter gushed out, slowly flowing down along the troll's head.

"What did you guys just do?" Victory's surprised voice sounded in Hugo and Venetora's minds at the same time. "I saw the Destiny Points suddenly increase by 3.5 points, which is far beyond my estimate."

"I think we—" Hugo hadn't had time to answer Victory's words when he heard a burst of loud and rapid footsteps suddenly coming from behind him.
