Chapter 128: Duel club

Latest website: 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 the students were sitting on had disappeared.
A large open space appeared in the entire auditorium, and along a wall, a large stage was suddenly built.
There were almost fifty or sixty students standing in the clearing, all of them in every grade except for the first grade, all of them holding their wands with excitement.
It seems that the duel club can be regarded as a very popular club in Hogwarts... After all, judging from the total number of students in Hogwarts, there are certainly not many clubs that can participate in more than fifty people.
"Matthew!" Malfoy and Knott chanted Matthew's name and trot over.
They just didn't see the trace of Crabbe and Gore. Perhaps for them, they were more inclined to use their fists to conduct physical duels than to take up a duel with a wand.
While 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.
As if the relationship between them had become cold after a summer vacation.
Towards the end of the last semester, the four roommates treated him like a "head"; after the beginning of the new semester, they seemed to have a sense of intentional alienation...
Matthew shook his head, leaving these messy things behind.
It should be their own illusion, Malfoy, they are probably discussing how to deal with Mr. Pringle and take back his broomstick...
He didn't think much, and focused on the stage in front of him.
...
After just waiting for a few minutes, the "instructor" of the duel club arrived.
Professor Flitwick, who was short, wore a pretty gorgeous black dress, and the students hurriedly gave him a way.
Professor Flitwick waved his hands to silence everyone, and then shouted: "Be quiet, can you hear me?"
The auditorium instantly became quiet.
Professor Flitwick waved his magic wand at his feet, and then he flew onto the huge stage; in this way, he could look down on the students.
"I'm very happy, I saw a few new faces..." His voice was as kind as in a spell class:
"Duel, a very ancient etiquette, although it has been almost eliminated now... But Professor Rozier felt that opening this course can fully train everyone, not only to recall the tradition of wizards, but also to improve your defense against the dark arts. Ability; in case you need to defend yourself one day, use some magic to protect yourself..."
"...In a traditional duel, two assistants are required, one for each side of the duel; in most cases, the assistant only serves as a witness; however, sometimes when the duel loses combat effectiveness or dies, the assistant does not When he is not satisfied with the result of the duel, he can also go up and continue participating in the duel..."
"...There are several ways to terminate the duel, which are chosen by the challenger: as long as one party is injured even if it is minor or unable to continue fighting, the duel will end; when one party is seriously injured and cannot continue the duel, the duel will end; After injury or death, the duel ends...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 takes 12 steps back, and then the assistant shouts three times, until the third call is over before both sides can turn around and raise their wands..."
"...Of course, no matter what magic is used in the duel, but you can use it up to three times. If three spells fail to hit or defeat your opponent, you can no longer use other spells; otherwise, you will be considered very brutal……"
"...Of course, I don't want to see you take the initiative to duel with other wizards... The reason for the dueling class is to practice some self-defense methods in more cases; OK, now we are on the topic"
After a short opening remarks, Professor Flitwick coughed: "I think many of you should have learned the Disarming Curse?"
Most of the students nodded, but some junior students and new members of the dueling club shook their heads.
"One of the simplest protective magic, but very effective in many cases... The spell is to remove your weapon. As for the effect, it can let your opponent’s wand be removed and lose the weapon against you; if you use the skills properly, you can even use Your opponent knocks into the air, causing more serious damage..."
Professor Flitwick began to explain to the students who did not understand.
In the next time, those senior students have already started to practice in pairs.
Professor Flitwick's short figure shuttled among the students in the lower grades, instructing them how to use the "disarming spell", and also told them some tips when dueling:
"The first is swiftness. The faster you raise your wand, the more chance you have to take the lead..."
"...Secondly, it is accurate. Remember to aim the wand at your target in the shortest time possible. If your spell deviates from the target, it will waste an opportunity to attack..."
"...In the end, it is necessary to choose which spell to use according to the opponent's characteristics."
Matthew raised his wand while listening to the listener and waved it gently:
"Except for your weapons!"
...
After practicing like this for almost half an hour, another professor suddenly arrived late.
It's the transfiguration teacher, Professor "Severus Snape", who is wearing a bright red gown.
"Okay, UU reading www.uukanshu.com my assistant is here," Professor Flitwick motioned to everyone to make way for Professor Snape, "Welcome, Severus!"
Professor "Snape" smiled and nodded at him.
"Professor Snape generously promised me that he is willing to assist me in giving you a small demonstration...I suggest you take a good look." Professor Flitwick waved to Professor "Snape", and then Snape Professor Pu 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 used to be a champion of multiple duels.
And to be honest, as a half-blood fairy, his "racial talent" can be shown to the fullest in a duel.
Two figures, one tall and one short, met on the stage.
Both of them bowed to each other, and then began to turn around, while holding their wands to their chests like swords.
