Chapter 637: Garlon's Magic
Nearly a hundred related books, simple but useful magic props, and instruments specially used to test the power of spells, every corner reveals professionalism.
In Kyle's opinion, this is what a Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom should look like.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, and Ginny, Neville and several Gryffindor students also arrived.
Then until eight o'clock, people kept walking in from outside.
Everyone looked very surprised when they saw Kyle in the room.
"Oh, you never said this before..." Gryffindor's Parvati whispered to Hermione: "If I had known that Kyle was here, Padma would definitely come."
"I just knew it too." Hermione couldn't remember how many times she had explained, "He rejected our invitation before, and I thought he wouldn't come."
Hermione had to admit that after experiencing various events in the past few years, especially after the Triwizard Tournament, Kyle's fame in Hogwarts had reached an incredible height.
This is also the reason why when she decided to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by herself, she first thought of asking Kyle to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kyle's name is a golden signboard. If he had been there at the party before, there would definitely be more people joining than now.
Unfortunately, Kyle refused at that time.
At eight o'clock, Hermione took out the list and checked it, and found that everyone was there.
Cedric walked to the door and turned the key in the lock, making a crisp click.
If someone was outside at this time, they would find that the door that was still there suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall again, as if it had never appeared.
In the room, everyone sat on a soft cushion and talked to each other. Because it was the first time to come to such a magical room, everyone's mood was very high.
"Well, this is our next practice place." Cedric said, "There are almost all the books on Defense Against the Dark Arts here, and you can also pick some that you are interested in.
"Of course, forget it now. We have limited time, and the main focus is still on practice. ”
After all, he is the male student union president. Cedric quickly adapted to his current identity and talked freely in front of more than 50 people without any nervousness on his face.
“Then, let’s practice on the first day…Leg Locking Curse. I know that this spell is relatively basic, many people know it, and more people use it as a prank spell.
"If that's the case, then you underestimate this spell. When facing an enemy, the Leg Locking Curse can restrict the opponent's actions in the shortest time, thus buying time for yourself to escape."
"I don't want to learn how to escape!" A voice came from the crowd, "This is too unspirited. Why can't we learn some powerful spells?"
"Because you are not facing a classmate from Hogwarts, nor a duel that follows etiquette, but an unknown adult wizard." Cedric said,
"Before you are sure of winning, running away is the wisest choice, and no one will look down on you for this."
"What's wrong with adult wizards?" The man said unconvinced: "We may not have no chance of winning. Don't forget that Kyle defeated a werewolf in his second year."
There was another round of discussion in the room.
Indeed, the first time Kyle made a sensation in Hogwarts was because he defeated a werewolf and won the Order of Merlin.
At that time, he was only a second-year student... and the youngest people here were third-year students.
"That's because there were two professors present at the time." Kyle said lightly.
This was also the first time he spoke after everyone was present.
"To be honest, if I had to choose again, I would rather not have the Order of Merlin than face a transformed werewolf alone."
The man muttered vaguely. Although he didn't know what he said, he could tell that he didn't believe Kyle's words.
"Well, since you think you can surpass Kyle, how about we do a small test. Cedric smiled and said, "See if you have the potential to defeat an adult wizard."
"What test?"
"It's very simple." Cedric stood up and stepped on the cushion.
"I only use one magic. If you can get my feet off the cushion, you win. How about that?"
"No problem!" The man also stood up.
Kyle remembered that his name seemed to be Anthony Goldstein, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student.
"What if I win?" he asked.
"Then I will teach you a powerful attack magic. "Cedric said.
He waved his wand.
"Thunder Explosion!"
With a loud bang, a large wardrobe in the room was instantly blown into pieces in the firelight, and the strong air wave carried dust and wood chips and blew on everyone.
I don't know when a big hole appeared on the ground, but it disappeared soon.
Such a magical scene did not attract many people's attention. Everyone's thoughts were still in the shock brought by the blasting spell in the last second.
"How about this spell." Cedric said, "Is it a powerful offensive magic?"
"I'll give you another reward." Kyle also said.
He took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table. "If you win, these fifty Galleons are yours."
The golden Galleons piled together brought a slightly stronger impact than the blasting spell just now.
"Okay!" Anthony couldn't move his eyes away. He took out his wand and made a duel.
Others immediately came to the side and made enough space for the two.
"Wait..." At this time, Anthony seemed to have thought of something and quickly added: "You can't use this spell for a while."
"The Death Eaters will not negotiate with you." Cedric said, "But I agree this time."
No one said to start, and the battle was about to start.
Anthony had just started to chant the spell, and Cedric had already finished his spell.
He waved his wand, and the wooden blocks on the ground immediately twisted and turned into ferrets, screaming and rushing towards Anthony.
Then, the battle was over.
Anthony only had time to deal with two ferrets, and the hand holding the wand was bitten.
The wand fell to the ground, which naturally announced his failure.
"Unfortunately, it seems that you have no chance of defeating an adult wizard."
Cedric waved his wand again, and the swarm of ferrets immediately turned back into pieces of wood.
Now, everyone was silent. They thought Anthony would fail, but they didn't expect him to lose so quickly.
At the same time, they also had a new understanding of Cedric.
Originally, everyone only knew that he was an excellent male student union president, and at most a Hufflepuff Quidditch captain.
But now, they found that this male student union president seemed to be more than just a good student.
The Transfiguration spell just now was so wonderful. More than a dozen wooden blocks were transformed at the same time, without a pause in the middle, and each ferret after the transformation was vivid, as if it was real.
Now, everyone looked at Cedric with a different look, and finally understood why he came to teach everyone to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by themselves.
But then they thought of another question.
Isn't it said that Hufflepuffs are all mediocre? Is there something wrong?
Forget Kyle, now there is another Cedric... If this is all mediocrity, then what are they, trash?
Even Hermione was surprised.
Although she can also transform more than a dozen objects at the same time, it is definitely not as easy as Cedric.
And judging from the ease he just showed, this is definitely not his limit.
No wonder Kyle recommended Cedric...
On the other side, Anthony looked at the pile of golden galleons on the table. Although he was unwilling, he still sighed, picked up his wand and sat back down.
But the next second, more people stood up.
There was no way, the temptation of the pile of galleons was too great, and they couldn't help but want to try.
What if, what if they can defeat Cedric... Anyway, if they lose, they don't have to pay any price, but if they win, it will be fifty galleons.
It's just a Transfiguration Spell. As long as you are prepared, it doesn't seem that difficult to deal with.
In the crowd, Ron couldn't wait to challenge.
"Don't worry."
Kyle waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He then smiled and said, "I will not take back the Galleons. As long as this place has not been disbanded, the reward will remain valid.
"Each of you has a chance to challenge Cedric. If you win, you can take these Galleons, but remember, there is only one chance."
Before Kyle finished speaking, the person who had just stood up sat back down in an instant.
If there is only one chance, it is better to be safe... learn a few more spells, defeat him with what Cedric taught, and then take the Galleons.
There were excited discussions around, and only Anthony groaned in pain...his chance had been used up.
Then, things went much more smoothly.
Cedric divided everyone into two groups, and they cooperated with each other to practice the leg-locking spell. Under the temptation of the Galleons, everyone worked very hard to learn, and some people were even more serious than before the final exam.
Cedric was very busy. Someone called him almost every second, and he had to shuttle through the crowd to correct their wrong gestures.
"Hermione, do you think my gestures are correct? "Ron looked at Neville, whose legs were stretched straight, and frowned, "Why do I feel like his legs can still move?"
"Because you're not moving your wand right." Hermione said, "Make the swing smaller, just move your wrist, don't move your arm."
"Okay, I'll try again." Ron was so obedient for the first time, and didn't refute her at all.
This made Hermione slap her forehead, thinking that Galleon's magic power was really great.
