Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 108 Crimson Memories (Fifth update, please follow)

As the incantation was recited, the red clouds around Li Wei changed again, and nine streams of fire fell.

The air suddenly began to move violently.

Visible air currents converged from the left side of the stage to the right, merging entirely into the nine streams of fire—Professor Flitwick watched this scene intently, almost cheering for his opponent.

Li Wei's understanding of the spell had exceeded his imagination—although it was only the second transformation, he could see that the previous attack was just an appetizer, and the red cloud floating around the opponent was the real killing move.

"He used only one spell—yet he was able to develop countless attacks from it, and the dissipated fire spears could even recycle some of their magic power through airflow—"

We have no chance of outlasting him in a protracted war.

A swift victory is essential—but how can a battle between top wizards be fought quickly? If you're impatient, you'll only give your opponent an opening.

Both Flitwick and Professor McGonagall sensed the difficulty of the battle, but both wore excited smiles.

A long-awaited duel. A long-awaited worthy opponent.
There's nothing to be ashamed of, just enjoy it to the fullest.

“McGirl—give me some time, I’ll deal with that cloud.”

"understood."

As the two exchanged words, the nine streams of fire had already transformed into a giant sword.

"Om-!"

The greatsword flew out, slashing through the air with a heavy whooshing sound and intense wind pressure, blocking the four giant beasts and armored guards.

With the last one in hand, Li Wei gently grasped it and, amidst the howls and roars of the four giant beasts and beside the knees of the four armored guards, calmly walked toward the two professors.

His demeanor was so composed, as if he regarded the giant beasts and armor around him as nothing at all.

The dragon scales on his hands gave him a strong sense of alienation, while the flaming longsword in his hand made him look like a dragon-slaying warrior.

Everything was a powerful shock, stunning the students and leaving them speechless—everyone just stared wide-eyed at the figure moving forward.

As Flitwick gathered his magic, he realized something was wrong. At that moment, Professor McGonagall slowly walked up to him and raised her wand.

It's as if it's saying, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a flash of blue light appeared on Li Wei's toes, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Professor McGonagall!
Amid gasps from the crowd, Harry finally recognized the second spell—the professor's own creation—Instant Step.

The thought that a wizard of his caliber was still using such seemingly insignificant spells filled Harry with excitement.

When will he and Cedric finally learn this spell? Are they really going to be like Jowell said, not learning it even by the end of the semester?

"Wooooooow!"

Suddenly, the entire audience erupted in a unified gasp of amazement.

Suddenly, a sheep appeared in the center of the stage—its wool was red, and it was carrying a toy flaming sword in its mouth.

“Perfect! Professor McGonagall has turned the reckless Professor Levy into a sheep! He was so foolish, taking such a risk when victory was assured; now he'll taste the bitter fruit of defeat—”

Snape's voice, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang out again at this moment, and it seemed that he was very happy to see Levi suffer a setback.

Unfortunately, in his excitement, he failed to notice that Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick above the stage still maintained serious expressions.

"oh--!"

Amidst another thunderous scream, the sheep stood up on its feet, gripping its toy sword in one hand—the next moment, thick flames coiled around it, and a ferocious fire serpent coiled around the hilt—even a toy sword seemed exceptionally dangerous at this moment.

"What-!"

Whether intentionally or not, Li Wei let out a bleating sound like a sheep midway through his sword swing—but as soon as he took his first step, his foot returned to its original position.

"What-!"

In a comical yet tense atmosphere, Professor McGonagall retreats continuously, waving her wand to manipulate the terrain and dodge Levi's attacks.

The next second, Levi completely reverted to his original form—if it weren't for giving the two professors a chance to shine, the battle would have been over long ago. "I'm ready—Professor McGonagall—"

Just then, Professor Flitwick's voice suddenly rang out.

Professor McGonagall abruptly stepped aside, revealing Professor Flitwick behind her, who had raised his wand.

At this moment, a pure magical light was emanating from the tip of his wand.

"Finite Incantatem! (All Curses End)"

The pure light transformed into a magical torrent, surging towards Levi and then rushing towards the red cloud behind him—at this moment, Levi was not only unable to use spells, but Professor McGonagall was also outside his control and could take the opportunity to launch an attack.

If they use the Transfiguration spell just once more, their victory will be virtually assured.

But at that very moment, Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the syllables, accompanied by magic, resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Phoenix".

This is not a spell, but a declaration of magic, its power stemming from Livy's understanding of the concept of the "phoenix" and the infusion of magic.

"Wow!"

The clear, melodious cry echoed throughout the entire venue, and the sacred bird, which had once been able to break through the basilisk's defenses with a single blow, once again displayed its magnificent form.

Harry, watching the game, instinctively widened his eyes, not daring to blink for even a second.

Before the torrent of all curses arrived, the temperature in the entire hall suddenly rose—a sacred fiery creature suddenly took shape and hovered above the dome.

Its body was shrouded in an auspicious golden-red halo, and three tails made of pure flames continuously scattered sparks from the dome!
The air currents and magic within the entire auditorium surged together, converging on its body.

At the same time, the effect of all curses finally came to an end!

The pure power collided violently with the fire phoenix's body, and an invisible force continuously eroded the phoenix's body.

Professor McGonagall seized the opportunity created by Professor Flitwick and once again cast the spell on Levi—"Petrify them all!"

Despite her reluctance, her prized transformation spell had lost most of its effectiveness against the opponent. At this point, all she needed to do was use a spell that would work.

Just as she was thinking this, the clear cry of the phoenix rang out again—a divine body, carrying a surging wave, rushed in front of Li Wei and struck Professor McGonagall's spell before she could react.

Professor Flitwick had put in a great deal of effort, including his personal will and wisdom, to create the All-Encompassing Curse, which was capable of dismantling all spells. However, it had been smashed into sparkling magical debris by the fire phoenix at some point, and then transformed back into a scorching stream that was absorbed by the fire phoenix.

Surrounded by flames, Professor Flitwick calmly extended his hand in surrender.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, seemingly still somewhat unsatisfied—but then she thought that, in any case, she hadn't been able to perform very well in a duel with a wizard like Levi who could counter her shapeshifting.

With that thought, she put down her wand.

With its final cry, the phoenix soared towards the dome, transforming into a sky full of fireworks that fell to the ground.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

This unprecedented open class has become a shared imprint in the minds of this group of students.

Even if some of them later become Aurors, some hold high positions in the Ministry of Magic, and some just work odd jobs in the shopping district, when they get together, everything that happened that night can still make them temporarily forget all their differences and unpleasantness, and discuss the same things with great enthusiasm.

　At dawn, as usual, I'm asking for more votes and monthly tickets. The better the results, the more motivated I'll be.

　　I'd also like to solicit everyone's feedback on the battle.

　　To be honest, after writing these chapters, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed—the original work has too few spells, and black magic can't be used in the battles here, so there's not much I can do.

　　However, if the original characters use too many self-created spells, it feels very awkward to me. It not only ruins the art style but also fails to reflect their character traits, as if it's just self-indulgent.

　　The fight scenes in these chapters felt a bit confined to a small space, not very satisfying. The scenes where the two professors appeared were much more exciting.

　　If everyone thinks the effect is okay, I will put more effort into writing about similar combat opportunities in the future. If you think it's just average or filler, I will write less about the combat scenes in the future.

　　However, there probably won't be many large-scale battles in total.
