The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

In Chapter 62, when you encounter an enemy, use the Killing Curse.

"Don't hold back."

Andy quickly said, "I also want to test my current spellcasting skills and see how much of a gap there is between me and an adult wizard."

"OK!"

Helen stood up and said, "You play by yourself for a while, I'm going to check on the potion."

"I'll help you," Andy said.

Helen waved her hand, "It's just a regular potion. I've already taken care of it. You don't need to make things worse."

"If you really wanted to help, why didn't you do it sooner?"

Andy: "..."

It's heartbreaking to think about. After only three days at home for the holidays, Andy's position as the family's emperor had been reduced to that of the family's younger brother.

That's an incredibly fast change of heart!

After waiting for about two hours, Helen came out with a medicine bottle in her hand.

After setting the medicine bottle aside, Helen looked at Andy eagerly. "Getting impatient, huh? Come on!"

Following Helen outside, Andy stood to the side.

Seeing that Helen didn't make any move, Andy raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't we need to prepare a ring or something?"

"No need for that trouble..."

Helen was speaking when she suddenly drew her wand and pointed it at Andy.

"Fuchsia!"

Andy felt an irresistible force acting on his entire body, causing his body to uncontrollably turn upside down and be suspended in the air by the power of magic.

Andy: "..."

"A ring? Who's going to provide that for a real fight?"

Helen waved her wand to set Andy down, and said with a smug look, "Was that magic pretty good?"

"This spell was invented by Snape, and later we Gryffindors learned it. They even used it to teach Snape a good lesson!"

Snape?

Andy looked surprised.

Judging from Helen's words, could it be that Snape invented a new spell while he was in school?

"Did he invent it while he was in school?" Andy asked.

"What's the big deal?"

Helen waved her hand dismissively, saying, "This is nothing, isn't it? Didn't I tell you? When we were in school, the Mysterious Man's power was at its peak. Unlike you guys now, you don't feel any pressure at all."

Andy was still somewhat shocked.

That's true, but Snape's magical talent was also astonishing.

Inventing new magic on your own while still in school is something not just anyone can do.

As far as Andy knows, only Dumbledore and Snape have unlocked this achievement.

only…

What happened to Snape?

All he does is pick on Harry all day, and he seems to enjoy it, as if he's going to dedicate his life to it.

Andy's lips twitched, but he stopped thinking about it.

"Then I'll begin!"

Andy drew his wand and immediately unleashed his strongest area-of-effect spell—the Fire Spell.

"Flames are raging!"

The flames coalesced into a fire eagle and swooped down on Helen, who easily extinguished Andy's fire spell with a mere wave of her wand.

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

"Torn apart!"

Andy cast spells repeatedly, but Helen easily deflected them all with her wand. She simply stood there, yet she exerted immense pressure on Andy.

They are definitely different!

Andy could sense that Helen's magical abilities were more than one level above his own.

Really strong!

Moreover, Helen rarely practices magic, and her current spellcasting level is at most only slightly better than when she graduated.

Or you could say that since Voldemort's downfall, ordinary wizards in the magical world have stopped practicing magic.

However, even a grown-up wizard like Helen, who hadn't practiced magic for nearly ten years, could still overwhelm Andy—she didn't even attack; just standing there, she already made Andy feel like he had nowhere to attack.

"call--"

Andy took a breath.

During the spellcasting process, Andy kept moving his position.

Seeing that the angle was right, Andy wanted to try the same trick again.

"A wooden stake is flying in!"

Under the influence of magic, the wooden stake slammed into Helen's back.

But Helen simply shifted her position slightly and easily dodged the attack from the wooden stake.

As Helen waved her wand, the wooden stake suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into Andy.

"Crushed to pieces!"

boom!!!

With a loud explosion, the wooden stake shattered.

"Okay, let's stop for now!" Helen suddenly said.

"Um?"

Andy was taken aback. "I still had a trump card up my sleeve. Why did you suddenly stop?"

Helen: "..."

What kind of amazing trick do you have? If you had a trick, you would have used it already.

Just like your grandfather, you're obsessed with saving face.

"Andy, you're focusing too much on the technique of casting spells."

Helen said, "In wizarding combat, spellcasting skills are important, but the element of surprise in casting spells is also crucial."

"Your current level of magic only looks good, well... it's very entertaining, but it's still far from meeting the requirements of actual combat."

Hearing Helen's assessment, Andy wasn't discouraged. After all, Andy had only been studying magic for less than six months, and his spellcasting skills were already quite impressive.

Helen continued, "Regular spells are actually quite easy to resist, so... sometimes we need a little trick."

As she spoke, Helen raised her wand and pointed it at Andy.

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

Andy focused his mind, intending to deflect the spell like Helen had, only to discover that the magical beam was being fired at his feet.

Just as Andy lowered his head, another beam of magic struck, and Andy found himself once again suspended upside down in mid-air by Helen.

"Did you understand?"

As Helen waved her wand to put Andy down, she said, "This is just practice. You know, some dark magic can't be blocked even by the Ironclad Charm."

"So in our time, students paid more attention to the practical application of magic, and we Gryffindors often gathered together to practice dueling."

Andy nodded. "I understand."

This is the difference in combat experience!

And as Helen said, conventional magic is too easily blocked. The Ironclad Charm can defend against the vast majority of spells, and some wizards with quick reflexes can even deflect spells with their wands.

Andy suddenly felt a pang of envy for Harry.

Harry is the kind of wizard with excellent reaction speed and eyesight, as you can tell just by looking at his performance on the field.

No wonder he's the main character!

With Harry's reaction speed and eyesight, he could quickly become a dueling master with just a little training.

"So how should I practice now?" Andy asked.

"Practice the way you used to practice."

Helen put away her wand. "Unless you want to participate in dueling tournaments or become an Auror after graduation, you don't need to practice these things specifically."

"Aurors have specialized training; they use the Killing Curse when they encounter enemies in private."

"If you build a solid foundation, learning these things will be very easy later!"
