The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific

Chapter 110 That Year I Put My Hands In My Pockets, I Don’t Know What An Opponent Is
Hogwarts Castle is huge, but there are not many places that are really used.

Andy and Cedric found an empty classroom and sneaked in using the unlocking spell.

"Andy, do you know the Iron Armor Curse?" Cedric asked.

Andy nodded with an 'hmm', "I have mastered it, but I'm not very proficient in using it yet."

Cedric didn't say anything after hearing this.

The two stood opposite each other, leaving a distance of five meters between them.

Although a wizard is a long-range profession, the attack distance is not comparable to modern weapons, even ancient bows and crossbows.

To be honest, if the power of wizards did not come from humans themselves, and many magics are extremely magical, Andy would have gone to start a business in the Muggle world and become a capitalist.

The magical world is closed, conservative, and backward. Many concepts are still stuck a few centuries ago. I have no ambition to improve myself, and I don't know how those pure-blood families have the right to look down on Muggles.

"let's start!"

Andy held the wand. Seeing that Cedric had no intention of taking action first, Andy waved the wand to cast the Iron Armor Curse on himself.

"Armor protection!"

With the magic shield added, Andy pointed his wand at Cedric.

"Passed out!"

Cedric's reaction was extremely fast. The moment Andy launched the attack, Cedric also blessed himself with the Iron Armor Curse.

"Armor protection!"

The Iron Armor Curse can build an invisible wall around the caster, and its function is to deflect most spells.

Except for the Killing Curse.

In battle, the Iron Armor Curse is a very practical magic trick, and it is very difficult to learn. Even many adult wizards have not mastered this magic trick.

This shows the quality of teaching at Hogwarts.

Andy also learned the Iron Armor Curse after practicing hard for a long time.

Cedric is only in the third grade, and he can master the Iron Armor Curse, which shows that he has worked hard at it.

But for dueling beginners, the Iron Armor Curse is actually very easy to break.

boom!
The magic beam hit the transparent armor, and Andy immediately felt a strong repulsive force.

Holding the wand tightly, Andy increased the magic output.

That's right, the easiest way to break the Iron Armor Curse for novice combatants is to 'match waves' with the opponent.

Andy can continue to use the Stunning Charm, but Cedric cannot continue to use the Iron Armor Charm.It is to continuously output magic power, and the Iron Armor Curse is easily broken.

Here's a little trick Helen gave Andy during the Christmas break.

Cedric obviously didn't expect Andy to use such a tactic, but he only panicked for a moment before thinking of a way to break this tactic.

That is to attack against attack.

But it was obviously too late at this moment.

As soon as Cedric raised his wand and pointed it at Andy, his armor spell was broken by Andy, and he was sent flying backwards.

boom!
A soft sound.

Andy cracked his mouth, it hurts!
"Stop the curse!"

After dispelling the magic, Cedric slowly opened his eyes and shook his head to wake himself up.

"Are you okay?" Andy asked.

"fine!"

Cedric said a little embarrassedly: "I was careless this time."

"Are you coming again?" Andy asked.

"Of course!" Cedric didn't hesitate.

Part of the reason for being unconvinced was that Cedric found this exercise very useful.If it hadn't been for today's practice, Cedric wouldn't have realized his shortcomings.

In fact, if Cedric hadn't underestimated the enemy and let Andy use two magics first, Andy would not have confronted him.

If Andy didn't have the Iron Armor Curse to protect him, Cedric only needed to attack Andy with a backhand before his Iron Armor Curse was broken, and Andy would be the passive one.

So this tactic can only be used against dueling novice.

"Come again!"

After the two stood up, Cedric became more serious.

It is enough to be defeated by a junior who is two years younger. If he is defeated consecutively, Cedric feels that he does not have to mess around.

then……

When Cedric was once again defeated by Andy's petrification spell, he had begun to doubt life.

"Stop the curse!"

Andy lifted the magic, "Let's take a rest first!"

Cedric sat on the ground, looking at Andy in disbelief, "Andy, have you practiced dueling before?"

"No!" Andy said without blushing or heart beating.

What I have achieved today is all due to my own talent and has nothing to do with hard work.

"You are also great."

Andy told the truth, "Your reaction speed is very fast. I only rely on some small skills to defeat you."

Although he won against Cedric, Andy did not become arrogant because of it.

If Andy is a magic player, then Cedric is an athletic player.

He is the Seeker of the Hufflepuff team, and his eyesight and reflexes far surpass Andy.If Andy and Helen hadn't practiced the duel, Andy would have lost today.

Even now, after Cedric is familiar with Andy's routine, Andy doesn't think he can beat Cedric.

"Your spell is stronger than mine."

Cedric praised: "It's hard to imagine, you are still a first-year little wizard."

Andy shrugged, "Duels are more than magic."

Andy's magical attainments definitely surpassed Cedric's. Although Cedric was two years older than Andy, he was not like Andy who had to practice magic for several hours every day.

However, duels are about more than just magical attainments.

Andy suddenly became envious of athletic players like Cedric and Harry.

They only need to master a few combat magics, and then they can outperform most people with their extraordinary eyesight and reflexes.

"Even if my reaction is faster than yours, it will be difficult to break through your Iron Armor Curse." Cedric also admired Andy.

Cedric has also heard some gossip about Andy. When he is not in class, Andy is either reading in the library or finding a classroom to practice magic.

For nearly a year, Andy never changed his daily routine.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

In the third grade, Cedric was one of the best students, but he could only use magic proficiently, and he had never practiced as hard as Andy.

"Andy, after graduation, do you want to be an Auror?" Cedric suddenly asked.

"No! Why do you ask that?" Andy asked back.

"I saw that you were practicing magic hard and studying dueling skills, so I thought you wanted to be an Auror," Cedric said.

In his mind, only Aurors needed these.

"I just prefer magic."

Andy decides to fool Cedric a bit, to see if he can reverse his values.

"I don't want to waste my whole life in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and I don't plan to find any job."

"I think a wizard should do something that is worthy of being a wizard."

Andy showed a yearning expression, "I want to study the mysteries of magic, find the origin of magic power, and push magic to a higher level."
