Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 74 Duel with Genius George
"All petrified!"

When the battle started, Matthew immediately used the full-body binding spell that he was good at.

He used this spell better than the average third-year wizard.

However, before he could complete the spell, he felt his whole body stiffen and he couldn't move.

It turned out that George had already used the full-body binding spell.

"The curse stops immediately!"

George walked up to Matthew, untied the full-body binding spell on him, and said in an encouraging tone:
"You are already very good. I am just a little faster than you by chance."

Even though he won, his character cannot collapse, and he cannot waste the time to win people's hearts.

Sure enough, after hearing George's words, Matthew, who had originally looked disappointed, immediately looked much better.

"I will practice hard when I get back, and I will definitely beat you next time."

He also felt that he might be only slightly worse than George.

Of course, this was a naive idea that was soon shattered by reality. He would find that he might not be able to defeat George until graduation because George had not used his full strength just now.

"Stop, everyone stop, we have to fight with wands, not fists!"

Soon, the two were attracted by Lockhart's anxious shouting. They turned their heads and looked around, only to find that the entire dueling arena had become a mess.

Most of the lower-level wizards don’t actually know much combat magic, and even if some do, they may not know how to use it in an emergency.

People like Matthew can indeed be said to be the best among them.

This leads to many young wizards resorting to fighting after discovering that magic cannot win the battle, especially those who already dislike each other.

Even Hermione, the top wizard who has mastered dozens of spells, is now in close combat with her opponent, Millicent, a second-year Slytherin.

Both of their wands fell to the ground. Hermione was clamped by the opponent's arm around the neck, but she was very unyielding and punched the opponent's thigh, showing great toughness.

Girls of this age are just as good as boys in fighting.

There were some senior wizards who did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but they were not so honest. They did not fight with the disarming spell as required, but took the opportunity to experiment with various spells.

Among them, the Weasley brothers were the most excited.

This resulted in some young wizards starting to suffer various injuries.

"Stand up, MacMillan... Watch out, Miss Fawcett... Squeeze hard, the bleeding will stop soon, Boot..."

Lockhart jumped around in the crowd, looking a little panicked. This was not the result he wanted.

Snape on the other side obviously didn't care. Maybe he thought the injury to the little wizard was nothing. Snape's attention was on Harry and Malfoy.

He just wanted to see Harry get beaten by Malfoy, but Harry was obviously very talented in magical combat, and he and Malfoy were evenly matched, one was dancing under the Dancing Curse, and the other was laughing under the Tickle Curse.

"Collapse!"

"Collapse!"

George shook his head and waved two stunning spells to knock down Hermione and Millicent who were fighting.

Then he moved through the crowd, casting spells one after another, and soon all the first and second grade wizards who were fighting in a group were knocked down.

After that, he pointed his wand at the senior wizards. Some third and fourth year wizards were no match for him until he faced the two most powerful seventh year wizards.

"Collapse!"

"Armor!" "Expelliarmus!"

The little wizards in the upper grades are not comparable to those in the lower grades. As soon as George joined the battle, he realized the strength of the seventh-grade wizards who fought seriously.

His stunning spell was indeed very fast, but the opponent's armor spell was not slow either. It not only blocked his stunning spell, but also used a disarming spell on him.

Fortunately, although he did not know the Armor Spell, his physical reaction ability was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he quickly dodged the attack of the Disarming Spell.

"It's George. You want to compete with us? Then be careful!"

Seeing the first-year Slytherin star join the battle, the two seventh-year wizards were a little surprised, but they had no intention of stopping.

So the duel between the two turned into a three-way fight.

The two seventh-grade wizards cast various difficult spells frequently, and magical lights shot like lasers. This fierce battle quickly attracted the attention of the entire audience.

In fact, when George helped to knock out those young wizards in the lower grades, he had already attracted the attention of many young wizards who did not participate in the battle.

As the star of Slytherin, a famous school, and the youngest player on the World Quidditch team, George took the initiative to step on stage for a magic duel.

Many young wizards are already paying attention to him, to the same extent as Harry Potter, the savior.

Now George has boldly joined the duel between the seventh-grade wizards, and the key is that he has persisted in not being eliminated, which makes everyone unable to take their eyes off him.

"I didn't expect that besides being good at studying and playing Quidditch, he is also so talented in magical combat!"

"I suspect he must have cat blood in him. Look, he didn't even use a protective shield and just dodged all the spell attacks."

"So handsome, and a little cute, Merlin, I'm actually impressed by the handsomeness of a first-grade boy."

"I'm just three years older than him. Age is not a problem. I want to talk."

As the discussion below grew louder, Snape and Lockhart also noticed the situation here.

Seeing that George was able to hold his own in the melee with two seventh-year wizards, Snape immediately showed a gratified smile on his face.

It had to be George. If it weren't for the fact that George and Harry had a good relationship, he would never have let the useless Malfoy fight Harry.

"It seems that I should teach him a few more combat spells when I have time."

He was very satisfied with George's talent in magic combat, but George was at a disadvantage when fighting senior wizards with the same few spells over and over again, which made him think of teaching George his own original spells in advance.

And considering that the door of the secret chamber was opened, if George could master more spells, he would be able to protect himself in danger.

I used to think that George was only in the first grade and didn’t need to learn those powerful spells so early. It was too difficult.

Now it seems that it is not impossible.

Geniuses should not be taught according to common sense.

"Everyone, please pay attention. George is doing very well. He has often asked me for advice on magic combat techniques during this period. He has learned a lot from me."

At this time, Lockhart stood up shamelessly again.

Snape was so angry when he heard this that he almost kicked this guy off the stage.

He knew that George often went to Lockhart for advice on magic, but it was not any magical combat skills at all, but just spells such as the Oblivion Charm, the False Memory Charm, and the Memory Filling Charm.

At this time, he was more determined to find time to teach George the spells he invented, so that next time George used them, and Lockhart said that he taught him, he would slap Lockhart in the face on the spot and see how Lockhart could argue.
