Chapter 82: Duel Master
Chapter 82 Duel Master
An excellent professor needs to possess many abilities, one of which is very important is to know what students think and know what to do to make them listen attentively.
Professor McGonagall was like this. She just mentioned the final exam and successfully made all the students forget about their previous pleasant holiday life and instead devoted themselves to intense study.
As her colleague, Professor Flitwick is obviously proficient in this.
“Let’s learn the softening spell today.”
Professor Flitwick stood on a podium made of books and said sharply: "Just like its name, this spell can make those hard things soft instantly. It is a very practical spell. It is also one of the most commonly used spells by many adult wizards.
For example, in Quidditch, which you all love, softening spells are often used to protect players who fall off their broomsticks.
You can also use it to set traps during a duel, because the soft ground makes it easier for your opponent to expose weaknesses, and that time is the best time for you to attack.
I may not have told you that when I was in the duel competition, I used the softening spell to make the witch on the opposite side surrender, and I won the duel competition championship that year. "
The most popular popular game in the wizarding world, Quidditch, coupled with duels full of heroism, immediately aroused the curiosity of young wizards.
“Professor, have you ever won a duel competition?” Gryffindor Katie Bell raised her hand and asked.
She had some doubts. Professor Flitwick was not taller than her. Could he really defeat other wizards?
“That was all in my youth.”
Professor Flitwick said somewhat playfully: "But I did win the duel competition, and more than once. Interested students can read the book "Duel Champions of the Twentieth Century", which has detailed information. record.
By the way, the school library has it. "
"Wow…"
Professor Flitwick's words immediately caused a burst of exclamation.
The little wizards never thought that the humble Professor Flitwick could be so powerful.
“Professor, I want to learn this.” A Gryffindor said excitedly.
"Don't worry, I will teach you." Professor Flitwick waved his hand calmly and said: "And practical spells like this are also the most common questions in the final exam, so everyone must listen carefully. Study hard, maybe it will be the one you take the exam for this year.”
“Okay, Professor Flitwick!” everyone responded in unison.
In class, the little wizards all studied very seriously. Under the guidance of Professor Flitwick, they practiced over and over again without feeling bored at all.
They seemed to regard themselves as the next duel champion, and the stone in front of them was their opponent.
It was not until the end of get out of class that they reluctantly put down the stones and left the Charms classroom one after another.
Those who didn’t turn in their homework also left.
Since there will be other classes soon, the time for them to make up their homework is arranged in the evening, and it is also supervised by the professor personally, and they are not allowed to sleep until they finish writing.
Kyle was not in a hurry to leave. He took the book he borrowed from the library and asked Professor Flitwick some questions.
“I also read this book back then, and it taught me a lot.”
Professor Flitwick touched the cover of the book with some nostalgia, and then answered every question of Kyle in great detail.
Ten minutes later, Kyle closed the book and said, "Thank you, Professor Flitwick, that's all for now. I haven't read the rest of it yet."
"It doesn't matter, a good book should be read slowly." Professor Flitwick said with a smile: "If you encounter anything you don't understand again, you can come to me at any time. My office is on the eighth floor. "
“By the way, thank you for the Christmas gift. It’s been thirty years since I received a sorbus tree amulet engraved with the duel emblem... It’s so nostalgic.”
“As long as you like it.”
After saying goodbye to Professor Flitwick, Kelchao left the Charms classroom. At the same time, the corridor outside the classroom came around the corner, and Kyle's two good roommates were sneaking around the corner.
“Mikel, are you sure Kyle will pass by here?” Ryan stuck his head out and took a look and said, “It’s been so long, maybe Kyle has already left.”
"Impossible." Mikel said with certainty: "Our next class is Defense Against the Dark Arts, and this is the only way to the second floor, so Kyle will definitely come."
"But..." Ryan seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Mikel.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be wrong.”
"no…"
“Be patient…for the sake of homework.”
“Professor Flitwick is gone!” Ryan covered Mikel’s mouth and said quickly: “Besides, he even closed the door!”
Mikel was suddenly stunned, ran over quickly, and pushed open the door of the Charms classroom.
There was no one inside.
Mikel: “(Д≡Д)”
“Damn it.” He scratched his hair and said, “That corridor is the only way to the second floor. How did Kyle leave!
Could it be that…”
Mikel subconsciously glanced at the opposite wall and said, "Ryan, do you think Kyle can pass through the wall?"
…
Today’s last section on Defense Against the Dark Arts is also very interesting.
Although Professor Oren does not have much teaching experience, his classes have always been one of the most anticipated classes for young wizards.
On the first day of school, he brought a group of Cornish elves to everyone and asked the students to use the magic spells he had learned to deal with them.
There are no restrictions, any spell can be used.
The little badgers were so happy. In their opinion, this was simply another form of duel, so they rushed forward to experience the feeling of being a "duelling master".
Although most of their spells were in vain, with Professor Oren around, the elves were unable to do anything to the students. They were so angry that they howled in mid-air.
The incompetent and furious look of these little guys filled the entire class with a joyful atmosphere.
What makes the little wizards even more happy is that Professor Oren has not checked the homework yet.
At the end of get out of class, the little badgers almost praised Professor Oren to the sky.
You must know that more than half of them have not done their homework.
With this calculation, Hufflepuff was equivalent to gaining at least thirty points for nothing. Of course they were happy.
But in Kyle's opinion, whether Professor Oren deducted points or not, it is no longer that important.
After the end of the Charms class, Hufflepuff's house points were firmly in the second-to-last position.
They are nearly a hundred points behind Ravenclaw in second place, and one hundred points ahead of Gryffindor in fourth place.
This position is indeed a bit awkward. It is not easy to take a step forward, and it is also difficult to take a step back.
