Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 418: Offense is the best defense! My spell is not weak either!

Looking at Tom standing in the middle of the field, his fingers gripping the wand turned white...

Li Weide couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

This kid still needs some experience.

When the battle is going his way, he's as brave as a Gryffindor.

What if I encounter a strong enemy? I get so nervous...

The power of a wizard's spell is related to concentration and emotion. If you are timid, your spell will not be very powerful...

Therefore, in the battle between wizards, psychological quality is particularly important.

Therefore, Li Weide had always emphasized to the members of the club that when fighting, you can be cautious, but you must never be timid.

Otherwise, the original 100% strength can only be exerted at 70% or 80% at most...

However, this kind of problem can only be overcome by Tom himself, and it is difficult for others to help him.

So, Li Weide arranged for Tom to go into battle...

Anyway, Abernathy would not beat Tom to death, at most he would just make Tom suffer.

This is a good opportunity to put pressure on Tom again.

Standing in front of Abernathy, Tom felt his limbs go cold and his heart beat faster.

Apart from Li Weide and Miravia, Abernethy can be said to be the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered.

The eyes of battle-hardened wizards are all different... Just by standing in front of them, you can feel the oppressive feeling.

As for Li Weide and Miravia... they never really did anything to him.

But Abernethy... because Li Weide was fanning the flames just now, Abernethy, who had not intended to take any ruthless action, would probably find a way to teach him a lesson.

After all, in Abernathy's view, Tom and that arrogant Livid were in the same group.

"Are you ready?" Abernathy asked expressionlessly.

"Not yet, wait a moment."

Tom said, put away his wand again, and began to move his body...

Abernathy was a little surprised. He thought Tom would say he was ready.

Unexpectedly, this guy was actually warming up in front of him? Tsk, these two guys are really crazy!
In fact, Tom had no intention of provoking again. He was just trying his best to calm down his nervousness and timidity...

Only in this way can he remain calm in battle.

Since this battle is inevitable, then... we have no choice but to give it our all.

Tom... just imagine how Dumbledore would fight! Just imagine... how Levitra would face his enemies!
"No matter how much you prepare, it's just that. The battle can be over in seconds. Why waste time?" Abernethy sneered expressionlessly.

He admitted that Li Weide was indeed capable, but Tom? He was just a slightly stronger student.

But students are just students after all, no matter how strong they are, there are limits. After all, there is only one special case like Li Weide!
Tom did not respond to Abernathy's ridicule, but obediently completed a full set of warm-up exercises.

By the time he stood up again and took out his wand, his emotions had completely calmed down.

Li Weide grinned. It must be said that Tom was a very capable kid since he was young. He calmed down so quickly!
Grindelwald on the opposite side also looked at Tom with admiration.

In fact, it is remarkable that a young wizard of this age can stand firm without shaking when facing such a powerful opponent.

But Tom was able to calm down again. I have to say, he is indeed a talent...

When he grows up, perhaps his achievements will not be inferior to his and Dumbledore's!

"It's a pity... I just hope you won't become my enemy, Tom," Grindelwald thought to himself. "Alright," Tom said.

Abernethy looked at Grindelwald.

"I'll count down to three, and then you begin," said Grindelwald.

"Three, two, one..."

"Swoosh!" Abernathy's casting speed was terrifyingly fast.

Even though Tom had gone through so much special training, he only had time to make the most basic defense!
"bump!"

The spell shattered Tom's incomplete armor charm in the blink of an eye.

Before Tom's hand holding the wand recovered from the paralysis, the second spell came to him again!
The opponent launched wave after wave of attacks, leaving Tom no chance to breathe.

For a moment, Tom felt a familiar sense of despair... The last time he felt this kind of despair was in the meditation basin that Li Weide built for him!

At the moment when the painful memories flooded into his mind, Tom suddenly felt his heart calmer than ever before!
Despair? He had experienced despair countless times in the Pensieve!

I remember it now...I remember it all, that’s the feeling!
In comparison, the pressure brought to him by this battle which is not a life-and-death duel is simply not worth mentioning!
Tom's eyes looked different.

Facing Abernathy's next attack spell, Tom no longer passively defended... but waved his wand and attacked directly!

"bump!"

The two spells suddenly collided in the air!
Before, Abernathy's spell could make his hands numb, but now, Tom no longer felt that way!
There is only one reason that can cause this effect, and that is that the power of his spell has been sufficiently enhanced!

"Well done, Tom...keep your focus and mindset!" Li Weide couldn't help but say happily.

Emotions influence the power of spells! The essence of magic is subjective! The value of this statement continues to grow!
After hearing what Li Weide said, Tom knew that his idea was right. For a moment, his confidence, which was originally lacking, suddenly became full!
Are you going on the defensive because you're afraid you can't stop my spell? What the hell is the point of that?
Your spell is powerful, but isn’t mine powerful too?

The best defense is offense!

Still laughing at me? Aren't you just older? I'll beat you to death!
As the spell passed, Tom felt his blood boiling.

The emotions also gradually changed from cautious and calm to crazy and angry!
What followed was a huge increase in the power of his spells...

Tom died many times in the Pensieve, gaining a huge amount of combat experience.

At this moment, after letting go of his mindset, he actually burst out with his full fighting power...

His confidence was unparalleled. No matter what spell Abernathy used, he was confident that he could fight him.

Of course, if it had been a life-or-death struggle, Tom would have been dead.

Because Abernethy wanted to be "cautious", he did not dare to use many deadly or seriously injure magic.

So, under Tom's full-force outburst, which was like a venting of anger, Abernethy actually felt a sense of frustration, as if he had the strength but couldn't use it...

Tom had no time to think about it now. He just kept waving his wand and launching his most violent attack.

Levid and Grindelwald stood aside tacitly without saying anything.

They all saw a little bit.

That is, as long as Tom continues to fight like this, no matter what the outcome is, Tom's state of mind will be transformed!

Abernathy had unknowingly become Tom's whetstone...

Now, they are waiting to see when Tom will understand his current state and calmly use the amplification brought by this state.

As long as he did this, Tom would never feel fear when fighting in the future.
