Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1190: The foundation of other people’s homes
"Ah!"
Albert suddenly sneezed and reached out and rubbed his nose.
"There are flaws!"
Katrina, who was training against Albert, immediately seized the opportunity and attacked Albert from an angle she thought was tricky.
Facing the oncoming curse, Albert raised his wand and waved it lightly, easily blocking Katrina's attack and causing the curse to bounce back to the target on the right.
After stopping Katrina's attack, Albert opened his mouth to correct: "What you should do now is practice how to silently cast spells in a duel."
"Got it."
Katrina doesn't think the silent spell is very useful. When the silent spell is cast, the power of the spell will not only be greatly weakened, but the difficulty of casting the spell will also be greatly increased, and some more difficult spells cannot be used. Even if ordinary wizards master silent spells, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of silent spells in actual combat. Chanting spells out loud is the mainstream of the magic world.
"You have to remember that fighting is not just fighting."
Albert seemed to see through Katrina's mind, and reminded seriously: "If you just stay in place rigidly and fire spells at each other with the enemy, it is too low-level, and the battle is far from what you think. It's as simple as that. You must know that most of the Aurors are actually third-rate. After you systematically learn the basic combat skills from me, you don't need to worry about most of the dark wizards, and they are no longer Your opponent."
"If even Aurors are third-rate, what are the others?"
Katrina's lips trembled imperceptibly, and she knew that Albert was indeed qualified for such an evaluation. Whether it is as a duel champion, or he himself is a small group of people standing at the top.
"Children play in the mud. The Ministry of Magic never thought of teaching others about this for the sake of management!"
"This way, this way, this way." Albert raised his wand and made a series of wand swings forward, "Starting quickly can give you an advantage in a duel, and this applies to most wizards, Because they still need to recite the spell, and you can easily counter the other person's spell, so that the other person can't even finish the spell."
"The way of casting spells is conducive to faster and smoother connection of subsequent spells, leaving no chance for the opponent to breathe."
"I don't think there is anyone other than you who can really use your quick spells after learning them."
Katrina felt that what Albert taught was unreliable. The reason why Albert was strong was not only because of his quick spell casting, but also because his spells were also very powerful, even if he did not use powerful spells. Spells can also easily defeat the enemy.
Stunning Charm is a ready-made example. After being hit, you will immediately pass out. The effect is quite obvious. Not to the level of Albert.
"It seems that you still don't understand." Albert was a little helpless, "The power of a wizard is never achieved overnight, from the spell casting technique, the magic spell mastered, the magical power of oneself, and even the combat experience. It all takes a little accumulation, and now you..."...
"So, I've been learning Defence Against the Dark Arts for so long, just copying your way?" Katrina raised her eyebrows. She didn't really want to hear these things, or even come to learn these Defence Against the Dark Arts. Knowledge, because the difficulty is too high, she suspects that the training of how to use the Silent Charm in battle can wipe out most of the Hogwarts students.
"Yes, you can think so." Albert did not deny it.
"But why?"
"Because my level is better than 99.99% of wizards, and it is easier to learn to master and copy." Albert said without hesitation, "I think it is probably difficult for you to step out of the field of dueling. You have your own way, so imitating me is actually your best choice, after all, the basic upper limit is high."
"As long as you can use the magic spell as delicately and silky as mashed potatoes, at least you don't have to worry about losing to others in a duel. Well, don't waste time, and continue practicing the silent spell!"
Albert flicked his wand, and a puppet for practicing spells slid towards it, which would be Katrina's practice target, "I don't expect you to immediately grasp the complex silent spells, you only need to master the silent magic of stun, disarm and iron armor, they are the most effective tricks against the enemy in my opinion, under normal circumstances, you only need to make your enemy incapacitate, not Kill them directly, because they lose the ability to resist, they basically become fish on the chopping board."
"Oh!" Katrina responded, raising her wand to practice the silent spell on the puppet target in front of her.
It is not difficult for her to use the Silent Spell. The real difficulty is to use it in battle. If you want to use it smoothly, you need to put more effort in this area. When fighting, others won't stop and wait for you to hold a spell, which is why most wizards need to recite a spell, because most of the time it is faster than a silent spell.
"How is it?"
Albert lifted the magic shield around Isobel, sat down on the sofa next to him, looked at Isobel who was gesturing with his wand, smiled and reached out to grab her palm and said, "If you want to learn in the future, I will find time to teach you. I think it should not be difficult for you to learn these things."
Isobel put her wand aside, looked at Katrina who was practicing the Silent Spell in front of her, turned her head to Albert and said, "If the professors at Hogwarts can be like you, everyone can be An excellent Defence Against the Dark Arts master."
"It's not difficult to learn to duel, the real challenge is how to master them."
Albert patiently explained the reason to Isobel, "Most dueling masters will have their own system, and I am fast, accurate, and ruthless."
"Under normal circumstances, as long as you are fast and accurate, basically 90% of the wizards will not be your opponents, because before they can react, they will be disarmed or knocked down by you, even if You can't really cast spells silently, and you have to know how to recite the spells quickly, just like when you practiced silent spells in school, many people recited the spells in a low voice."
"But it's actually very bad, because it doesn't mean that you have mastered the Silent Mantra. There is still a big gap when you use it, and those who do that usually don't seriously learn the Silent Mantra."…
"So, you're actually just laying the foundation for Katrina." Isobel raised her eyebrows slightly and saw Albert's intentions. Rather than learning those fancy spells, laying the foundation was more important.
"Yes, with a good foundation and simple systematic training, she can avoid many detours and travel quickly." Albert directly admitted that he did not intend to teach Katrina too much. Stuff, that's too much energy, so it's enough to learn the basics. As long as you master it, most wizards are difficult to be her opponents.
"Your foundation is really different from others." Isobel looked at Albert and said with a smile, "It seems we have to thank you for your professional guidance."
"That's right, this is the unspoken secret of a duel champion." Albert laughed and joked to himself, "If I lose my job in the future, I will start a Defense Against the Dark Arts training class, and I don't know one class. How many Galleons can I get!"
"What level can Katrina be after learning your basics?" Isobel asked curiously.
"Probably close to the Aurors."
"Is that what you call third-rate?"
"Yeah, experience is something that can't be made up in a short time." Albert explained helplessly, "This is actually enough for Katrina, and most wizards are not hers. opponent."
"But why do you have to let her learn the Silent Spell?" Isobel was actually a little puzzled. There are not many wizards who can actually use the Silent Spell in battle. She believed that Albert did not count on Catri. How well Na can do.
"Because in my opinion, the ability to use silent spells is the difference between third-rate and second-rate." Albert explained calmly, "Katrina actually has a good foundation, and her silent spells are also used well. , as long as you are willing to put more effort into it, you will be much stronger in the field of dueling in the future than Fred and George who did not master the Silent Spell. Because chanting spells means you are slower in casting spells, and sometimes this is a very fatal thing ."
"The magic power of a wizard may have an impact on the strength of a spell, but most wizards don't actually know that they are far from reaching their upper limit, but few people can really touch this upper limit. If you want to, After training, most wizards are qualified to be a good Auror, and even do a lot better than the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, reaching second-class standards, which is actually the limit of most ordinary people."
"You think it's just a lack of professional and systematic guidance?" Isobel suddenly understood why Albert established the Defense Association.
This is to mass-produce a batch of wizards close to the Auror level!
If he is really willing to spend some time teaching them, it is estimated that there will be a powerful wizarding group.
Isobel doubted where Albert had practiced, otherwise he would not have such confidence.
She really guessed right. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are Albert's practice results. When the three of them left school, their defense against the dark arts was better than that of Hogwarts graduates. A lot higher.
"It's a waste of time to explore on your own, and the effect is relatively average. By the way, I also have great expectations for you."…
"You think I'm a genius too?" Isobel was satisfied.
"You are indeed a genius." Albert sighed softly: "Unfortunately, your talent has not been brought into play. Perhaps because of my relationship, you can only be considered a half-genius now."
"Genius or something, it doesn't really matter." Isobel really doesn't care about these, because there are more important things than these.
She is also very clear that if she wants to fully tap her talent and potential, she must constantly squeeze herself and constantly try to surpass herself. Albert is a ready-made case, but it is undoubtedly very hard to do that. Not the life Isobel wanted.
"No matter what you choose, I will support you, who made you my wife!" Albert kissed Isobel's forehead and said.
"Katrina is calling you." Isobel pushed Albert away and reminded with a smile, "Also, you should pay attention in the future, so as not to embarrass Katrina."
This is also why Katrina doesn't want to stay at home. For her, she is an outsider, an eyesore, and it is the most correct to quickly disappear from their eyes.
"Let's continue!"
Albert picked up his wand, waved it, and used the magic shield to protect Isobel inside before walking towards Katrina.
Continue to practice with Katrina ~IndoMTL.com~ and correct her mistakes.
In the end, if you want to make rapid progress, you still need someone to train and guide you.
Albert is actually training too, training the Iron Armor to bounce back spells.
Of course, in a real duel, it's basically not very useful, but he has to find something for himself to do, otherwise it's just too boring.
"You plan to form a defense association?" Katrina asked suddenly.
"It looks like you didn't concentrate on your practice." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, "You should concentrate, it's important to focus on studying."
"So, I'm just a try for you?"
"No, my three roommates are. Their defense against the dark arts is excellent." Albert said without hesitation, "If you want to ask, just say it."
Katrina's lips twitched and she asked, "Am I a genius in your eyes?"
"No, there are actually very few real geniuses, you are at most an elite." Albert said calmly, he actually felt that Katrina didn't want to ask about this just now, "Okay, let's continue Let's try your Silent Spell first, then the Iron Armor bounce practice."
