Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 73 Magic Duel
In the Harry Potter world, when George passed by the castle hall in the morning, he found a group of little wizards gathered around the bulletin board, discussing something enthusiastically.

When he got closer, he saw a new piece of parchment nailed to the bulletin board.

The content of the parchment is that at 8 o'clock tonight, the school will restart the duel club in the auditorium to teach all the young wizards in the school how to fight better with magic.

The Dueling Club was once very popular in Hogwarts. It is said that Flitwick, the current Head of Ravenclaw, was a frequent winner of the Dueling Club when he was in school.

In a one-on-one duel, not even the senior wizards could defeat Flitwick.

Later, because young wizards were often injured in duels, the school clinic was too busy to handle the situation every day and finally had to cancel the duel.

Now it seems that the secret room must have been opened and the young wizard was attacked. Some teachers suggested reopening the duel club to train the young wizards' combat skills so that they can have more self-protection capabilities when facing danger.

“It’s a good opportunity to observe and learn.”

George naturally has a positive attitude towards the restart of the Duel Club.

His skills in using magic basically come from his own understanding, and many aspects are not formal.

As for combat, he actually mostly relies on his superpowers, with magic only playing a supporting role.

But in the later stage, he will definitely still focus on magic combat, so it is very important to observe and learn some magic combat skills.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when George and the first-year Slytherin wizards arrived at the Great Hall, the place had changed.

Four long dining tables were put together to form a very luxurious gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in the sky.

The ceiling of the auditorium turned as dark as velvet. Almost all the little wizards in the school came, crowded together, each holding his or her own wand, with excitement on their faces.

Just as everyone was discussing which professor would teach them magic dueling skills, Lockhart, who was radiant in a purple robe, and Snape, who was dressed in black and had a cold face, walked out.

The showy Lockhart started to show off right at the beginning, first boasting about his own magic duel skills, and then describing Snape as his assistant, thereby elevating himself and making Snape's face even colder.

George estimated that if one were to ask which teacher in the entire school hated Lockhart the most, Snape would definitely be on the list.

If it weren't for the school, if it weren't for the fact that Snape had turned over a new leaf, he thought that Snape wouldn't mind using all three unforgivable curses on Lockhart.

The key point is that Lockhart has no self-awareness and actually wants to compete with Snape on the spot to set an example for the young wizards.

Lockhart and Snape stood on opposite sides of the stage, and at the first three bangs they raised their wands over their shoulders.

"Except your weapons!"

Lockhart had only finished chanting half of the spell and moving his wand when Snape's Disarming Charm was cast.

A red beam of magical light hit Lockhart directly, knocking the wand out of his hand, and he himself was bounced out, hitting the stage wall and sliding down.

"So fast!"

George saw Snape casting a spell below and couldn't help but sigh.

The Disarming Spell is a second-year spell and is also a spell that is not easy to cast. It is one of the most commonly used spells in wizard battles. It can not only forcibly disarm the opponent, but also knock the opponent away.

He had been learning this spell on his own before, and in the past two days he had completed it preliminarily and could cast it normally.

But his Disarming Spell was much worse than the one Snape had just cast. Not only was it more powerful, but most importantly, when Snape cast the Disarming Spell, he reduced the wand swinging motion by more than half, and the speed of chanting the spell was also super fast, it felt like the whole process was completed very smoothly in less than a second.

This is also the reason why when Lockhart cast the Disarming Spell, he was sent flying as soon as he started.

And he noticed that at the same time Snape completed the Disarming Spell, he did not stop his actions, but waved his wand slightly, obviously preparing for the second spell.

It's just that Lockhart was too weak and couldn't block any spell, so there was naturally no need for him to cast a second spell.

"This is a Disarming Charm, and as you can see, I have lost my wand.

But Professor Snape, please don't mind what I say, your intention just now was too obvious.

If I wanted to stop you, it would be effortless, but I thought it would be a good idea to let them see it, so that they can learn some lessons about the consequences of being hit by a disarming spell."

Lockhart stood up with difficulty, quickly tidied his appearance, then went on stage again and explained shamelessly.

Hearing Lockhart's excuses, Snape raised his wand, feeling the urge to cast a killing curse on this guy.

As if sensing Snape's murderous intent, Lockhart quickly changed the subject:

"Okay, now you two will come up and practice. Professor Snape and I will correct some of your mistakes in dueling."

After hearing Lockhart's words, most of the young wizards did not doubt it. They raised their hands and went on stage, including George.

He didn't believe Lockhart's nonsense, nor did he expect Lockhart to correct them. He was thinking of sparring with senior wizards and asking Snape to help guide his magical combat skills.

Lockhart and Snape walked among the young wizards who came on stage and paired them up.

George was also paired up, but his opponent was a short first-year Ravenclaw wizard.

"George, my name is Matthew Flitwick. I admire your learning ability and Quidditch skills, but I think I am far inferior to you.

But I may have to apologize to you in advance for this duel."

The young wizard was very confident. Even facing the Slytherin Star in front of him, he didn't think he would lose in a duel.

As a member of the Flitwick family, he inherited the Flitwick family's natural talent for fighting, and he also asked his great uncle for advice on the techniques of fighting with a wand many times.

When other first-year wizards were still practicing the levitation spell, he was already very skilled in using the full-body binding spell to fight.

"Well good luck to you then."

George smiled and didn't say much.

Just kidding, even if he doesn't cast magic, he can easily dodge most magical attacks with his extraordinary physical fitness and cat-like motion capture ability.

Plus the amount of magic he has mastered and the amount of magic he practices on a regular basis.

Not to mention a first-year wizard, even if it was a wizard who was about to graduate from the seventh grade, he would not necessarily lose.

His main purpose this time was to achieve perfection, not because his magic combat skills were really bad.
