Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

More interesting than I imagined...

We can loosen our grip a bit more now...

Snape thrust his wand forward, the intense light vanished instantly, and his gaze quickly locked onto Vizet in front of him. He then swung his wand horizontally, unleashing another slash of sword light.

This sword light was even sharper, bursting with a sound of tearing through the air, and slashed straight towards Vizet.

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

Vizette frowned and cast a water-making spell at the same time. The water that spewed from the tip of his wand could no longer be called a "spring" but a torrent.

Snape's eyelids twitched. He could sense that this torrent was extraordinary; it was not only a water-making spell he had fully mastered, but also imbued with polymorph magic.

Only through transformation magic can the torrent maintain its shape and not spill onto the ground the moment it leaves the tip of the wand.

The students standing outside the auditorium heard a strange noise behind them and turned to look out the window as if startled.

By the dim moonlight, they could see that the Black Lake was extremely turbulent, with a whirlpool in the center that was being stirred up wildly.

……

Vizette flicked her wand, and the torrent seemed to meander and flow, resembling a nimble snake.

The serpentine torrent followed the wand's trajectory, rushing towards the incoming sword light.

The sword light was restrained by the serpentine torrent, submerged in it, and completely neutralized.

Following Vizet's command, the serpentine torrent circled around her before launching itself with a thunderous roar towards Snape.

Snape glanced up at the candles in mid-air, then immediately raised his wand. The flickering candlelight rapidly grew, almost instantly coalescing into a giant fireball.

Life seemed to emerge from within the fireball. As Snape lowered his wand, the fireball cracked open, and a lava-like liquid poured down, transforming into a long serpent of fire.

As the fiery serpent was born, the air around the auditorium became scorching, as if it were midsummer even though it was December.

The water snake and the fire snake collided violently, bursting out with dazzling light. Their bodies shrank rapidly, and billowing steam rose into the sky from the collision.

……

Snape glanced upwards, and the fireball in mid-air scattered into flames, returning to the wick to continue emitting light and heat.

Vizet estimated the size of the serpentine torrent and did not continue to draw water from the Black Lake. The moment the fire serpent disappeared, the serpentine torrent he had maintained also vanished.

He looked at the billowing steam that had not yet dissipated, felt the temperature still permeating the surroundings, raised his wand and pointed it into the sky, "Frost descends from the heavens!"

The billowing steam instantly condensed into a dark, heavy cloud.

"hiss!"

There was a hissing sound all around. The students were caught off guard by the sudden change from the intense heat generated by the collision of steam to the extreme cold.

Countless hailstones fell from the dark clouds, and guided by Vizet, they all landed at the same spot where Snape was.

……

“Cunning…” Snape murmured, raising his wand and flicking it lightly. The incantation echoed throughout the Great Hall, “Protect them all!”

This was the first time he had uttered the incantation, and a gray, transparent magical energy field appeared, enveloping him and protecting him from the constantly falling hail.

Having fought this far, we've pretty much covered everything that's out in the open.

If this were an exam that required evaluation, he would not hesitate to give it a grade of "O".

"Stop the spell immediately!" As the magical energy field appeared, Vizet immediately dissipated the dark clouds.

"Cleaned up!" He looked at the hail and ice shards scattered around the stage and cleaned them up as well.

"Disarm you!" Seeing Vizet's action, Snape raised an eyebrow and uttered the disarming spell. A red light slowly flew from the tip of his wand.

……

As the red light was about to strike Vizet, Snape was suddenly filled with many emotions.

In just over a year, Vizette's current strength far surpasses that of the students present.

The most crucial point is that he doesn't know how much more Vizette is hiding...

More skillful transformation magic, a comprehensive understanding of magical theories, and mastery of weather spells...

He didn't really know... how many surprises or shocks awaited him in Vizette's life.

However, this was just a demonstration duel, so he naturally couldn't go all out. Therefore, he was very restrained and didn't display any dark magic.

He looked at the wand in his hand, which twirled between his fingers, sparking brilliantly at its tip.

Perhaps it was because he had been at Hogwarts for too long, and the Dark Lord had not appeared, that he had undergone some subtle changes...

The Dark Lord will definitely return; these changes in himself are not a good thing...

With this in mind, Snape made a decision: he should find a suitable way to regain his former combat experience...

Chapter 10 Enthusiasm for Learning Before the Christmas Holidays

The red light of the disarming charm struck Vizzet's arm, and the wand tumbled into the air.

Snape began, “Focus… Mr. Lovegood, it’s not time to clean up the mess yet!”

Vizet bowed to Snape. "Thank you for your guidance, Professor Snape... There won't be a next time."

He looked up into the air, raised his arm to catch the spinning wand as it fell, and slowly walked off the stage.

"See that? Now this is what a wizard's duel should be like!" Snape surveyed the room expressionlessly. "I don't expect you to cast many spells, but hold your wands tight! Understand?"

The students nodded silently, their gazes towards Vizet and Snape filled with varying degrees of awe.

The Slytherin students' gazes were even more complex, containing not only awe but also disbelief...

……

The duel between Wizette and Snape became the most popular topic of discussion among the students for some time to come.

The upperclassmen will combine their own insights to analyze which spells and magical techniques Snape and Vizet used during the duel.

Snape didn't reveal much, after all, he didn't use much magic throughout, and he did cast it silently.

Apart from a cutting spell that is extremely practical and can cut through almost anything, the remaining magic is the long serpent of fire and the very clear magical shield spell.

These three spells can be summarized as a spell, a transmutation spell, and a protective spell.

Many students compiled their analysis results and even came up with the following conjecture: Was Snape able to use these three spells because he was a Potions Master?

The Cutting Charm is used to process potion ingredients, Transfiguration magic is used to control the flames and ensure the temperature is maintained during potion brewing, and Protective Magic is used to protect oneself in case of accidents.

Of course, this can only remain speculation. Snape's bad temper was notorious, and even Slytherin students dared not verify this speculation.

……

Since it was a duel between Vizet and Snape, in addition to discussing Snape's magic, there was also extensive discussion about the magic displayed by Vizet.

After all, Vizette was chanting spells throughout the entire process, so it was clear which specific magic she used.

After the students summarized their findings, they discovered that the magic used by Vizette seemed to deviate significantly from the magic they had encountered and learned.

For example, Vizet's Transfiguration magic is a magic subject that everyone will encounter after entering Hogwarts;

Many older students could see that Vizette's ability to maintain the shape of the water flow meant she was using shapeshifting magic.

However, for them, maintaining such a large flow of water and preventing it from disintegrating was already an extremely difficult task.

Moreover, Vizet not only maintained the water flow but also used it as a means of attack to fight against Snape's fire serpents.

Maintaining a massive flow of water with transformation magic and then engaging in magical battles is something beyond the comprehension of many older students.

The water-making spell used by Vizette also falls into the category of being "beyond the scope";

The common water-making charm is usually used in Herbalism class to make a stream of water flow from the tip of the wand to water various magical plants;

The water spell cast by Vizet, if described by Hermione, Justin, and the other students, was equivalent to a water jet used to extinguish a house fire—not even in the same league.

Many students recalled the events of that night, noting that a turbulent whirlpool appeared over the Black Lake, confirming that the floodwaters controlled by Vizette originated from the Black Lake.

Based on this situation, older students can conclude that Vizette not only fully mastered the Water Creation Spell, but also could utilize its fundamental principles to bring out even more possibilities in the Water Creation Spell.

As for why the Ironclad Charm emitted a dazzling light, the fact that the falling hail magic wasn't a weather charm was something they wanted to figure out...

……

With a variety of questions in mind, the students consulted the relevant professors.

After listening to the story, Professors Flitwick and McGonagall not only analyzed the magical techniques involved, but also praised Vizzet's performance highly.

In this way, the students gained a more concrete understanding of Vizette's power, and at the same time, they developed a great curiosity about Vizette.

Wizette is "enjoying" the same treatment Lockhart once received; in fact, some of Lockhart's former fans have turned around and begun to idolize Wizette.

They have reason to believe that with such formidable strength already demonstrated, Vizet's future achievements are sure to be great, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

If you're a little bolder, becoming the next Albus Dumbledore isn't such a distant dream.

However, in Vizette's view, such worship only brought him trouble.

Fortunately, he had a solution in mind: he compiled a thick list of books, including all kinds of books he had ever read.

If a student wants to learn more, he will give them a copy of the book list and share his learning methods.

"I will summarize what I have learned, write down my thoughts and ideas, and review and revise them from time to time, adding new ideas and thoughts."
