Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 121 Duel Club

In the next few days, Franklin and Penelope's strength improved by leaps and bounds under Mike's guidance. They were originally talented, but they lacked some external conditions. Now, with Mike, a wizard who has half of the books in the forbidden area, giving them guidance, and being able to practice in the luxurious training room of the Room of Requirement, it is not surprising that they have such an effect.

Mike also took advantage of the time between instructing the two to consolidate his own magic power. From summer vacation to now, his magic power has increased repeatedly, which has caused his magic power to overflow when he casts spells.

This is a standard case of magic power growing too fast and the body hasn't gotten used to it yet. It's a trouble that only belongs to geniuses.

At noon that day, when Mike came to the auditorium to have lunch, he found Lockhart's promotional posters hanging on the walls everywhere in the auditorium. Mike took a closer look and found that they were posters of the Dueling Club.

Mike became interested in this. In the original book, Lockhart asked Professor Flitwick to be his opponent but was rejected, so he had to go to Snape. In the end, he was severely punished by Professor Snape in public. I don't know if there will be any changes this time.

Today's lunch is grilled sausages with bread and mashed potatoes, which is a far cry from the previous few days. Although Mike is not a person who loves gourmet food, he has no appetite for these things that can only be called food. In his words, this is not a meal at all, but eating.

After taking a few bites of the sausage, Mike put down his knife and fork. He decided to go to the kitchen and ask the clothes hanger guys to prepare a special meal for him.

Just as Mike stood up to leave, Lockhart walked up to the podium high up in the auditorium.

"Everyone! Please look here, I have something important to announce!"

All the young wizards in the hall were attracted by him, and Lockhart continued, "I have two things to announce here today! First, my new book "The End of the Millennium Basilisk" is already in preparation. This book is adapted from Mr. Mike Townley's real experience in the Basilisk incident. This is a new book that is different from all my previous books. For the first time, I will no longer tell my own story and try to write it from a third-person perspective. I hope everyone can support it."

Like throwing a stone into a pond, Lockhart's words instantly made the auditorium lively, and everyone was discussing this matter.

Some of the senior students who also participated in the temporary management team were quite indignant. According to their thinking, the contribution of Mike, a second-year wizard, in this matter was not greater than theirs. Since Mike could be the protagonist, they should be able to do so too.

But Lockhart ignored the noise. Seeing the noise in the hall, he put his wand against his throat and released a loud voice: "The second thing I think many of you have guessed, that is the dueling club! After the basilisk incident, I feel that the practical ability of the young wizards in Hogwarts is too weak, and they can't even protect themselves well.

So I proposed to Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick, the former dueling champion, to launch a dueling course to improve everyone's practical skills. Unexpectedly, my idea was unanimously supported by these two great wizards, but since the course schedule for this year had already been arranged, the dueling course was changed to a dueling club!
Professor Flitwick, the honorary advisor of the duel club, and I will hold our first actual combat teaching in the auditorium at 20 p.m. tonight. We will show you the most ancient and accurate duel etiquette and passionate combat skills. Everyone is welcome to come and watch! "

As soon as these words were spoken, sparse applause was heard in the auditorium. Only some of Lockhart's die-hard fans applauded Lockhart. Although the other young wizards were also very interested in the wizard duel, they were more concerned about Mike becoming the protagonist of Lockhart's new book.

"Um, in addition! We will hold the first Hogwarts Dueling Grand Prix after Christmas. The Dueling Club will officially start recruiting members after tonight. The admission fee is 1 silver Sickle, and all admission fees will be included in the prize pool of the Dueling Grand Prix! The runner-up can get 30% of the prize pool, the third place 20%, and the champion will get 50% of the prize pool and an extra dueling champion badge! This badge is made of mithril by goblins, and Professor Dumbledore also asked the greatest alchemist in the world, Master Nick Flamel, to add an armor protection charm to it!

This badge can automatically absorb the wearer's overflowing magic power to charge itself, and automatically release armor to protect itself when danger comes. In other words, as long as you have this badge, you will never be afraid of sneak attacks again!

As everyone knows, Master Nicolas Flamel has given up using the Philosopher's Stone to extend his life, which means that this badge may be his last work. I don't need to say more about its collection value, right?
In addition, Hogwarts has also sponsored 500 gold Galleons into the prize pool, and I, personally, will sponsor 1000 gold Galleons!
If you want to sign up for the competition, you must join the Duel Club. In addition, members can also receive my careful guidance. Don't hesitate, join the Duel Club now! "

The news of the Duel Grand Prix set the auditorium ablaze. The young wizards were finally excited. At this moment, they had forgotten about the fact that Mike became the protagonist of the new book. Everyone was looking forward to the scene of becoming the duel champion and winning the championship badge.

There are too few entertainment activities in the wizarding world, especially in Hogwarts. Apart from wizard chess and romance, the only daily entertainment is Quidditch matches. The Duel Grand Prix will undoubtedly make everyone's boring campus life lively.

Lockhart, who proposed the Duel Grand Prix, naturally became the benefactor of the young wizards. Even the Ravenclaw seniors who had already hated Lockhart to the core now felt that Lockhart had become much more pleasing to the eye.

Mike looked at the smug Lockhart on the stage with confusion. He really couldn't understand why Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore allowed Lockhart to make such a big fuss. In the original book, Professor Flitwick clearly didn't even want to pay attention to Lockhart.

"Mike! This is a golden opportunity!" Franklin interrupted Mike's thoughts, "That's a huge sum of gold Galleons, we must participate! With you in the lead, I don't want to think about the championship, but I can still strive for the runner-up. Then we can take the championship and runner-up places, and gain both fame and fortune, hehehehe!"

Mike was startled and said, "Where did you come from? You're so jumpy, you can scare people to death, don't you know?"

"I...I've always been here." Franklin said aggrievedly, "You can't blame me for having a low sense of presence."

"Why are you alone? Where's Penelope?" Mike asked.

"You know she has been going crazy lately. She has been practicing spells desperately and is still in the spells classroom."

Mike sighed softly and took Franklin out of the auditorium to the Charms classroom.
