Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 459: Practice with Snape

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Franklin's dark face turned red. He pointed his wand at Mike with difficulty. Perhaps because he used too much force, the tip of his wand was shaking slightly.

Then, a faint light that could not be seen at all if the classroom was not too dark suddenly appeared on the tip of Franklin's staff, and at the same time, a sound like a fart was heard in the air.

Mike looked at Franklin speechlessly. He really didn't know what to say.

If you say Franklin was not successful, he did make some noise, but if you say he was successful, the silent spell he cast did not have any effect at all.

It was like a real fart.

But in order not to dampen Franklin's enthusiasm, Mike raised his wand in mid-air in a pretend defense and waved it, and a crisp sound burst out with magic power.

"You can't do it, Franklin." Mike said with fake joy, "You have taken the first step."

Franklin looked at his hands in disbelief, his body still shaking slightly from using so much strength.

Snape on the side shook his head slightly but said nothing.

He also realized that Franklin did have some talent in silent spells, but that was just some. At this stage, it seemed that he was wasting too much magic power on silent spells. If he didn't practice more, they would be of no use at all.

But he did not spray venom at Franklin as usual, but turned and walked towards Hufflepuff.

But just because he didn't laugh at Franklin doesn't mean others won't.

The movement from Mike's side just now attracted a lot of people's attention. Now they found out that Franklin had been planning for a long time but only farted. Suddenly everyone was happy and bursts of laughter broke out in the crowd.

To say that these people had any malicious intent was absolutely not the case. Mike would rather believe that they were just teasing with good intentions.

But Franklin didn't think so. He was already angry because of Snape, and he immediately became unhappy when he heard the voice. If he couldn't deal with Snape, could he not deal with these people?

Then he rushed into the crowd and taught a lesson to those students who were laughing secretly.

Such scenes are rare, and everyone in the classroom was immediately attracted by the movement here.

Mike quickly pulled Franklin back, but it was too late. Snape had already noticed what was happening here and was staring at them with his calm eyes.

"I'm sorry, Professor..."

Franklin seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and spoke stutteringly.

But before he finished speaking, Snape said coldly:

"Get out of the classroom and stand at the door!"

Franklin closed his mouth, turned silently and walked towards the door.

"Twenty points deducted from Ravenclaw!" Snape continued to Franklin's back, "Also, detention! This Saturday night, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom! Do you understand, Mr. Clinton?"

Franklin didn't say anything. His fists were clenched, his body was shaking a little, and he quickly left the classroom.

Snape nodded in satisfaction only after the classroom door was heavily closed. He turned to look at Mike, who was frowning and silent, and said with ill intent:
"Mr. Townley, it seems that you don't have a partner now. Why don't you let me, the professor, team up with you!"

As he said that, Snape drew out his wand, not giving Mike any chance to refuse.

But Mike didn't want to refuse. First, he was quite dissatisfied with Snape's behavior. Second, there were not many opportunities to practice with a master like Snape, and he really wanted to try it.

So, Mike raised his wand, pointed it at Snape and whispered:
"As you wish, Professor!"

"Then come and attack me. Let me see how capable you are!"

As soon as Snape finished speaking, Mike moved his wand, and a red light swept towards Snape with the sound of breaking wind.

Snape was obviously not ready, but fortunately he was experienced in combat, and did not panic when faced with such a sudden attack. Instead, he raised his wand and accurately blocked the trajectory of the spell with the tip of the wand, while outputting magic power...

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and suddenly a circle of air burst out from the tip of Snape's wand, blowing up his robe.

"Ha! Is that all you can do, Mr. Townley?"

Mike didn't waste any more time talking to Snape and cast another petrification spell at him.

This time Snape was clearly well prepared. He did not choose to resist with magic as before, but directly drew a semicircle with his wand and launched the "Armor Protection Spell"!
Mike's petrification spell was accurately bounced back.

Mike's expression slightly shifted. You know, this is not easy. Most people using armor to protect themselves can only bounce off the spell, but cannot make the enemy's spell bounce back to its owner accurately.

But then excitement appeared on Mike's face. Such a strong enemy was exactly what he was expecting.

He raised his wand and with a light wave he smashed the petrification spell that bounced back to him. Then he frantically mobilized his magic power, and several spells of different colors swept towards Snape!

Since there were many classmates watching nearby, Mike did not use powerful spells like the Fire Spell, but this was enough, because in order to avoid hurting students by mistake, Snape could not simply deflect these spells, but could only use magic to simply eliminate all these spells.

This was undoubtedly a very strenuous task, but Snape did it with ease, and he even had the energy to mock Mike.

"Too weak, too weak, Mike! Maybe I should show you what a real attack is!"

As soon as Snape finished speaking, Mike felt a sharp pain in his brow. His pupils suddenly shrank, and then all the magic power in his body burst out. In just a moment, a light blue protective shield made purely of magic power formed around him!

The next moment, a loud noise came from the light blue shield, and an invisible sharp blade chopped the shield mercilessly, leaving a shocking mark on it!

Looking at the shield that was on the verge of breaking and the cut, Mike's heart was beating wildly. He never thought that Snape would be so crazy as to use the 'God of War' to attack him!

Do you want his life?
Do not!
It's not fatal, after all, 'God of War' has a counter-curse. Snape should simply want to teach himself a lesson. After all, he can use the counter-curse to heal his injuries afterwards.

At this time, the students around were also shocked by the sparring between Mike and Snape. The silent spell duel between the two was scary enough, and now the deep cut on Mike's shield made them even more frightened, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Snape on the opposite side was a little surprised to see that Mike actually blocked his Shadowless Attack. You know, there was no sign at all when he just launched the Shadowless Attack. Not to mention the spell, even the wand-waving gesture had been hidden and softened in the blocking action.

But even so, Mike blocked it, which shows that Mike's reaction ability is so strong that it's ridiculous.

"Well done, Mr. Townley."

Snape murmured, but Mike had no intention of chatting with him. After realizing what was going on, Mike immediately launched a counterattack.

Looking at the several spells that were intertwined and attacking him, a trace of sneer flashed across Snape's face. Such spells posed no threat to him at all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, all the spells cast by Mike were easily broken by Snape.

After doing all this, Snape raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked in the direction of Mike.

But just this one glance made his pupils shrink suddenly!
Because at this moment, the magic wand in Mike's hand was drawing a magic trajectory in the air that he was very familiar with - Divine Sharpness and Shadowlessness!
And this is not just an ordinary Shadowless Divine Strike. With Mike's strength, he doesn't need to draw a complete trajectory of the spell with an ordinary Shadowless Divine Strike, so this must be Mike's full-strength attack!
'This guy is crazy!'

Snape was roaring wildly deep in his heart, and at the same time he reacted quickly. A powerful translucent shield suddenly enveloped him and his classmates around him!

The next moment, under the shocked gaze of everyone, Mike made a slashing motion as if he was really holding a sword!

"Buzz!"

As Mike waved his wand, a strange sound was heard in the air. No one knew where this strange sound came from, but the moment they heard it, a bad feeling arose in everyone's heart.

Their premonition was correct, because soon, a huge cut appeared on the shield in front of Snape, just like Mike's before!

No! The cut that appeared in front of Snape was far more terrifying than the one he had caused. This showed that Mike had really used all his strength!
Snape couldn't help but reveal anger on his face. Even though he had been holding back just now, he didn't expect that Mike would actually dare to use such a dangerous spell with all his strength in such a situation.

He instinctively wanted to rebuke Mike first, but before he could say anything, the shield in front of him, which was covered with cracks from blocking the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse, suddenly shattered.

At the same time, a barely perceptible ray of light shot through the gap and hit Snape's chest directly!
Snapton, who noticed all this, cried out in dismay, while Mike, who was sitting opposite him, grinned evilly.

His astonishingly powerful Shadowless Curse was just a cover from beginning to end, in order to cover up the magic spell hidden behind it.

And the spell that Mike used as a real killing move was the inverted bell that Snape hated so much!

This magical spell is the only one among the magic Mike has learned whose power increases instead of decreases when cast as a silent spell. Mike can guarantee that even Snape cannot completely resist the effect of this spell!

As expected, in the surprised gazes of the surrounding students, Snape, who was hit by the Hanging Bell Curse, was suddenly hung upside down. But even so, his greasy hair was still tightly stuck to his scalp, which was shocking.

"Ah! Mike Townley!"

Snape let out a deafening roar, while the magic power in his body was still running wildly. The flying wand drew a complex pattern in the air in just a few seconds. Then, bands of light engraved with strange ancient magic runes emerged from the tip of the wand and wrapped around Snape's whole body. The huge force that dragged Snape's ankle and made him fall in the air suddenly disappeared.

"thump!"

Snape fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Then he used his hands and feet to quickly get up from the ground. He looked around with murderous eyes and finally fell on Mike.

All the students around who were glanced at by Snape lowered their heads in fear. Things happened so fast that they hadn't figured out what was going on, but there was no doubt that Snape was very angry!

Mike, the culprit, was very relaxed. He looked at Snape expressionlessly, but deep down he had a deeper understanding of his opponent's strength.

You have to know that it only took 2 seconds from being hung up to using the "End of All Mantras" to remove the effect of the "Hanging Golden Bell"! And it was a silent mantra!
What is this concept?
This means that Snape's attainments in silent spells have become so strong that he can almost instantly cast thousands of spells to end them!

Even Mike himself couldn't do that!

Thinking of this, Mike clenched his wand and became alert.

He was very clear that what he had just done was undoubtedly rubbing salt into Snape's wounds, and the provoked Snape was likely to do something extreme.

However, to Mike's surprise, no spell appeared on Snape's tightly clenched wand for a long time. On the contrary, after a stalemate, Snape put down his wand and said to Mike with gritted teeth:
"Ravenclaw! Deduct 50 points!"

Just at this moment, the hourglass on the podium used to record class time finally ran out. Snape glanced at the hourglass, then took two deep breaths, and left!

Everyone in the classroom lowered their heads, not daring to look at the aggressive Snape, until they heard the classroom door slam shut with a loud bang, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the classroom became lively.

Everyone gathered around Mike, wanting to ask what happened in those few short seconds, but Mike ignored them and instead pushed through the crowd and left the classroom.

Franklin, who had been waiting outside the classroom door, saw Mike coming out and immediately followed him quickly, saying with some curiosity:
"I just saw Snape storm off. What happened in there?"

"Oh, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart." Mike said with a smile, "But you really need to practice your silent spell, it's really a bit eye-catching."

Franklin's expression was a little dull after hearing this. He stared blankly at Mike who was walking straight forward. After a while, he shouted:

"That's not right! You just said I was good at using silent spells!"
