Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 128: Duel Club

Last URL: At two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Matthew came to the auditorium.

Then, he found that the four long dining tables had disappeared, and the chairs for the students were also gone.

A large open space appeared in the entire auditorium, and along one wall, a large stage was suddenly built.

There were about fifty or sixty students standing in the open space, from all grades except the first grade, all holding their wands, their faces full of excitement.

It seems that the Dueling Club is quite a popular club in Hogwarts... After all, judging from the total number of students in Hogwarts, there must be no club with more than 50 people participating. several.

"Matthew!" Malfoy and Nott shouted Matthew's name and trotted over.

It's just that Crabbe and Goyle have not been seen. Perhaps for them, they are more inclined to use their fists directly for physical duels than duels with wands.

When greeting two roommates, Matthew suddenly realized something

After the start of the new semester, the number of contacts between him and the four roommates suddenly decreased.

It seems that the relationship between them has become cold after a summer vacation.

At the end of the last semester, the four roommates always treated him as the "boss"; but after the new semester started, they seemed to be deliberately alienating themselves...

Matthew shook his head and put these messy things behind him.

It should be my own delusion, Malfoy and the others are probably discussing how to deal with Mr. Pringle and get back his broomstick during this time...

He didn't think too much, and focused on the stage in front of him.

…

After only a few minutes of waiting, the "instructor" of the duel club arrived.

The students hurried out of the way for the short Professor Flitwick, who was wearing a rather splendid black suit.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and then shouted: "Be quiet, can you hear me?"

In an instant, the auditorium became quiet.

Professor Flitwick waved his wand at his feet, and he flew all over the huge stage; this way, he could look down at the students.

"I'm very happy, I saw a few new faces..." His voice was as friendly as in a charm class:

"Duel, a very ancient etiquette, although it has almost been eliminated now... But Professor Rozier thinks that offering this course can fully train everyone, not only can recall the tradition of wizards, but also improve your abilities. Defense against the Dark Arts; in case you need to defend yourself one day, take some magic to protect yourself..."

"...Two assistants are required in a traditional duel, one for each side of the duel; in most cases the assistants just play the role of witnesses; but sometimes, when the duelist loses combat power or dies , When the assistant is not satisfied with the result of the duel, he can also step up and continue to participate in the duel..."

“…the duel can be terminated in the following ways, which are chosen by the challenger: as long as one party is injured, even if it is a minor injury, or is unable to continue fighting, the duel ends; when one party is seriously injured and cannot continue the duel, the duel ends; After one party is fatally wounded or dead, the duel is terminated...Of course, we are all using the first rule, and the latter two duels have been strictly prohibited!"

"Usually after bowing to each other, each side retreats twelve steps, and then the assistant shouts three times, and the two sides can turn around and raise their wands until the third shout is over..."

"...Of course, no matter what magic you use in a duel, you can use it up to three times. If the three spells fail to hit your opponent or defeat your opponent, you can't continue to use other spells; otherwise, you will Considered very barbaric..."

"...Of course, I don't want to see you take the initiative to duel with other wizards... The reason why dueling classes are offered is more to practice some self-defense methods; okay, now let's get to the point "

After a short prologue, Professor Flitwick coughed: "I think many of you should have learned the Disarming Charm, right?"

Most of the students nodded, but some younger students and newcomers to the dueling club shook their heads.

"One of the simplest protective magics, but very effective in many cases... The spell is to disarm you. As for the effect, it can make your opponent lose his wand and lose his weapon against you; if used properly, It can even knock your opponent into the air, causing more serious damage..."

Professor Flitwick began to explain to those students who did not understand.

In the following time, those senior students have already started to practice in pairs.

Professor Flitwick's short figure shuttled among the lower grade students, instructing them how to use the "Disarming Charm", and also told them some tips for dueling:

"The first is swiftness, the faster you raise your wand, the more chance you have to take the lead..."

"...The second is accuracy. Remember to aim the wand at your target in the shortest possible time. If your spell deviates from the target, you will waste a chance to attack..."

"...And in the end, it is to choose what kind of spell to use according to the characteristics of the opponent."

While listening to the audience, Matthew raised his wand and waved lightly:

"Disarm you!"

…

After practicing like this for about half an hour, another professor suddenly came late.

It is the teacher of Transfiguration, Professor "Severus Snape", he is wearing a bright red dress.

"Okay ~IndoMTL.com~ My assistant is here," Professor Flitwick motioned everyone to make way for Professor Snape, "Welcome, Severus!"

Professor "Snape" smiled and nodded at him.

"Professor Snape generously agreed to me, he is willing to assist me to give you a small demonstration...I suggest you take a good look." Professor Flitwick waved his hand towards Professor "Snape", Then Professor Snape also stepped onto the big stage.

I have to say that Professor Flitwick's voice is full of confidence.

This is not surprising, after all, when he was young, he was a champion of many duels.

And to be honest, as a half-blood elf, his "racial talent" can be fully displayed during duels.

Two figures, one tall and one short, met on the stage.

Both bowed to each other and began to turn, holding their wands like swords to their chests.
