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 get them to listen carefully.
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.
"We're going to 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's 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 win the duel competition that year. "
Quidditch, the most popular game in the wizarding world, coupled with duels full of heroism, immediately aroused the curiosity of little wizards.
"Professor, have you ever won a duel competition?" Gryffindor Katie Bell raised her hand and asked.
She had some doubts. Professor Flitwick, who was not taller than her, could 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 and maybe it will be the exam you take 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 wasn't 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.
Because 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 the content 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 your Christmas gift. It's been thirty years since I received a sorbus tree amulet engraved with the duel emblem... I really miss it."
"As long as you like it."
After bidding farewell 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 homework."
"Professor Flitwick is gone!" Ryan covered Mikel's mouth and said quickly: "Besides, he even closed the door!"
Mikel suddenly froze, 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..."
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 was also interesting.
Although Professor Oren has little teaching experience, his class has always been one of the most anticipated courses for the little wizards.
On the first day of school, he brought a group of Cornish elves to everyone and asked the students to use the spells they had learned to deal with them.
There are no restrictions, any spell can be used.
The little badgers were very happy. In their opinion, this is simply another form of duel, so they rushed forward to experience the feeling of being a "duel master".
Although most of their spells were in vain, with Professor Oren there, the elves could not do anything to the students, and they were so angry that they howled in the air.
The helpless and furious look of these little guys filled the whole class with a joyful atmosphere.
What made the little wizards even happier was that Professor Oren had not checked the homework yet.
When the get out of class was over, the little badgers almost praised Professor Oren to the sky.
You know, more than half of them did not do their homework.
In this way, Hufflepuff was equivalent to adding at least 30 points for nothing, so of course they were happy.
But in Kyle's opinion, whether Professor Oren deducted points or not was not so important.
After the spells class, Hufflepuff's house score was firmly in the second-to-last place.
They were nearly 100 points behind the second-placed Ravenclaw, and 100 points higher than the fourth-placed Gryffindor.
This position is indeed a bit awkward. It is not easy to move forward, and it is also difficult to take a step back.
