The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 109 The Final Glory
The trial puppet was lying on the ground motionless, half of its body was stained with blood, and it seemed that it had completely lost its ability to resist. In this case, the system should have announced Ada's victory long ago. Could it be that the signal was bad and delayed?

Ada approached slowly with doubts. At first, she was wary of the puppet's "dying" counterattack, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing the puppet move, she felt relieved and waited for the system to announce her victory.

Just as Ada's right hand holding the magic wand dropped, the puppet on the ground suddenly moved. It turned around from its lying position, and a red light emanated from its magic wand, heading straight towards Ada.

The attack by the trial puppet was sudden, and it was to take advantage of Ada's relaxation to give her a fatal blow, hoping to turn the tables. Unprepared, Ada had to fight back hastily, and she subconsciously cast the most powerful spell evaluated by the system - the disarming spell.

The two red lights collided and connected at one point, and the light became even more dazzling. Under the magic competition between Ada and the trial puppet, the energy aftermath of the collision at the connection of the spell splashed everywhere, smashing the surrounding stones and making the ground bumpy.

The magic power of Ada and the trial puppet was not much different, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner. Ada pulled the wand several times, hoping that the scattered energy would hit the puppet and cause damage to it.

However, this method did not succeed and had little effect. The man and the puppet were once again in a stalemate. Ada's right hand controlled the magic wand and continued to compete with the puppet in magic power. Her left hand also began to accumulate magic power, wanting to end the battle by casting a spell without a wand.

Ada, who had been tortured by Snape's three cauldrons, was able to do two things at once, and the magic she used to transform Ginny into flowers several times was the embodiment of wandless casting.

The magic wand is a product of Europe. Native American wizards only started using magic wands after the 17th century, and African wizards did not come into contact with magic wands until the 20th century. Before that, they all cast spells without wands.

Before the appearance of magic wands, wizards all over the world did not use wands when casting spells. However, there were problems such as low casting efficiency, difficulty in control, and difficulty in controlling accuracy. In addition, some magic could injure the caster. These problems were not solved until the appearance of magic wands.

Although there are various problems with wandless casting, for some wizards with superb spellcasting skills, skilled wandless casting can allow them to cast magic faster and play a good auxiliary role in battle.

With the help of the system, Ada has been able to cast spells without a wand. She can now cast some relatively simple magic, such as the rose she conjured for Ginny at the Burrow.

If Ada wants to fully master the technique of wandless casting and integrate this method into her own combat, she still needs a lot of practice and understanding.

There was a dull pain in the palm of her hand, and magic power continued to gather in Ada's left hand. A fist-sized stone floated in the air under her control, and then the stone hit the trial puppet like a cannonball, at a speed so fast that it could not be seen clearly, and only the sound of tearing air remained in her ears.

The moment the trial puppet saw the stone, it forcibly interrupted the magic battle with Ada. Its injuries made it unable to move, and the speed of the stone was too fast, so it could only wave its wand and cast a defensive spell to prevent the stone from hitting it.

The stone hit the armor spell with a loud noise. The armor spell dissipated under the high-speed impact, and the stone shattered and fell to the ground. At the same time, Ada's disarming spell also hit the puppet that lost its protection.

The wand of the trial puppet flew up and turned into a wisp of green smoke. The bloodstains on the ground disappeared, and the puppet itself turned into a small ball and returned to Ada's hand. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Ada breathed a sigh of relief.

The system also announced at this time: [The host successfully defeated the trial puppet (normal difficulty). During the battle, the host was not hit by the trial puppet and always had the upper hand. He made reasonable use of his own advantages. The final evaluation was three stars. The battle reward has been issued. The trial puppet difficult difficulty has been opened. Please check as soon as possible. ]

Since obtaining the trial doll, Ada has been making steady progress, and her actual combat experience has also become richer. If Fuli had met the current Ada, then Ada would probably have suppressed him all the time.

That's right, it's so inflated! Opening the system interface, Ada first looked at the introduction of the difficult trial puppet. In order to give Ada a more intuitive impression, the system made an analogy for Ada, and the strength of the difficult puppet was already very close to Professors Snape and McGonagall.

This introduction made people's scalps tingle, and Ada, who had just been inflated, immediately became a deflated ball. Although she had never really seen the strength of the two professors, Ada had also learned about them from the side.

Looking at the entire wizarding world, these two professors are among the best masters, and few people can rival them. If Ada can really defeat puppets with similar strength to them, then Ada can basically walk sideways in the wizarding world.

Ada took out the chocolate from her pocket. She needed to replenish her energy. After she looked at the battle rewards, she planned to test the waters to see the gap in strength between herself and the two professors.

The system gave Ada many rewards, most of which were spells, and there were also physical rewards. The system once rewarded Ada with a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses, which looked good after she put them on, covering up the sharpness between her eyebrows and making Ada look more gentle.

It's just that Ada has good eyesight and is not nearsighted, so she hasn't formed the habit of wearing glasses yet. This pair of glasses can only lie in the box and gather dust. I hope the system won't give her such a useless thing again this time.

Opening the system reward bar, a black metal ring appeared in front of Ada. There were no gemstones on it, but there was a faint glow flowing. The ring was engraved with complicated patterns that looked like ancient runes.

This course is an elective course for third-year students, so Ada doesn't understand what these words mean now. Clicking on the reward introduction page, it says:

Title: The Last Glory
Function: Wild Growth (passive, enhances the wearer's vitality)

Unwavering Determination (Passive, enhances the wearer's willpower, making it less likely to be corrupted or influenced by others; those with weak willpower are more susceptible to the wearer's influence)

Indestructible (passive, enhances the wearer's attack power and increases magic damage)
Indestructible (Active, the wearer can actively transform the ring into a shield to enhance defense; can rebound enemy damage, the stronger the host's personal ability, the more damage can be rebounded)

Ada was so satisfied with the reward this time. Apart from the wildly growing vitality that needed to be tested, the other three functions were very practical.

If she had had this ring earlier, she wouldn't have been so confused by Grover Cecil at the Black Lake last time.

The ring can also enhance Ada's magic damage. With the previous bonus "reckless", high magic damage and occasional critical hits, Ada already has some capital to walk sideways. If Ada could be a little luckier, it would be great. Sometimes the probability is really deceptive.

Ada took the initiative to summon a shield, and a one-handed kite-shaped light shield appeared in front of her. The shield was not very big, perhaps because Ada's ability was not enough to support a larger shield.

Even with the system and the ring as a plug-in, Ada still cannot be careless. It is still a top priority to seize the time to improve her strength. The system is indeed a powerful external force, but if Ada's own strength is not up to standard, she is still a paper tiger, good-looking but useless.

Looking at this light shield, Ada suddenly felt that a shield would be more suitable for a sword than a wand. Shield in the left hand and sword in the right hand, isn't this look a little too Gryffindor?
