Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 415, Page 409: Harry: Nobody understands D better than me.

From that day on, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class became a scene of Dudley driving his jeep, chasing the four of them all over the square.

"Don't run, don't escape."

"."

"Don't dodge, charge straight at the jeep."

"."

"Jump! Jump up!"

"."

All of these words were shouted by Dudley while he was driving the jeep. Harry and his friends ignored them and used their agility to dodge.

After a period of training, although the four of them still had no clue about fighting techniques, their ability to dodge attacks had greatly improved.

At the very least, any one of the four people could hold their own against the jeep for a while.

Don't think that the Jeep training method is useless. It's like the turtle shell training method of the Turtle Hermit School. It may seem like a useless weight training, but there are actually bigger secrets hidden behind it.

Harry and his friends will face more than just wizards as enemies in the future.

Well, I don't know about others, but Dali seems to be having a lot of fun.

Fortunately, Harry and his friends were quite "helpful". After several special training sessions, they finally "understood" the "deeper meaning" behind Dudley's arrangement of this training.

"That's right, Brother D wasn't just chasing us in his car; he was training our ability to cast spells without a staff."

Harry confidently told his companions that, as someone who had been by Dudley's side since childhood, he believed that every step Dudley took had a deeper meaning.

After racking my brains for a long time, I finally came up with an idea.

"is that so?"

Ron expressed strong doubts. As the person who had been chased by cars the most times among those present, he was quite happy to see Dudley driving the jeep.

"That must be it!"

Looking at Harry's serious expression, Ron was skeptical: "Are you sure we didn't do anything to offend him, and he just wants to torment us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Think back to what Brother D often told us not to rely too much on spells. This was an implication that we should practice spellcasting without a staff. Unfortunately, we didn't understand Brother D's deeper meaning at the time. We thought he was just telling us to train our bodies and improve our melee skills."

"Looking back now, the most crucial point for us wizards is to practice wandless spellcasting. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves and see if we have put in the effort or seriously practiced wandless spellcasting in recent years."

Harry said firmly, "I've been by D's side since I can remember, for more than ten years. I've watched him get to where he is today step by step. No one understands D better than me."

"The reason Brother D made us undergo special training is probably because he thinks our progress in casting spells without a staff is too slow."

"We should work even harder."

Draco and Neville, listening nearby, nodded in agreement, agreeing that Harry's words made perfect sense. Seeing that his companions all thought the same way, Ron could only put aside his own opinion.

Because in Ron's view, if someone as shrewd as Draco thinks it's right, then it must be right.

However, Draco is completely fanatical when it comes to Dali.

Therefore, when the four strongly requested that the training be made more difficult to facilitate practicing staffless spellcasting, Dudley activated the Jeep's other abilities.

Although he was a little confused when he was found, he thought that he had messed up the four people.

They stopped when they discovered they were practicing spellcasting without a staff.

Start the Jeep – Magic Resistance Mode, Swift Mode, Crash Mode.

The second phase of simulation training.

Later on, Dudley will also give them shooting training like Hermione. No one says wizards can only foolishly wave their wands. In terms of speed, bullets are still superior.

Of course, this time was not just spent driving around chasing people. Dudley combined his own learning over the years to make a simple division of the strength of wizards and organize the learning progress of spells.

The first stage is learning basic spells and accumulating knowledge, which is the beginner level of a wizard. Most young wizards at Hogwarts are basically at this stage.

The second stage is to practice the learned spells until you are proficient, so that you can cast spells more easily and at least avoid situations where you want to cast a levitation spell but end up casting a forgetting spell instead.

The third stage is to be able to use the learned spells freely in actual combat, which is the so-called real combat. After all, no matter how solid the theoretical knowledge is, it is still just an academic school and is still far from real combat.

The fourth stage is learning the corresponding anti-spells, and those who can master this step are invariably the elite among wizards.

The fifth stage begins with attempting to fuse two or more spells. This requires not only proficient use of spells but also a very high level of understanding of them.

The sixth stage involves mastering a particular spell and developing a completely new style of spell based on the original spell, such as Grindelwald's Blue Fiendfyre spell.

Most adult wizards only reach the second stage, which is the level of proficiency in spells. More experienced Aurors can enter the third stage, while the fourth stage is only reached by elite wizards. The fifth and sixth stages are only reached by top masters like Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Voldemort.

While a wizard's true strength may not necessarily correspond to each stage—for example, a fourth-stage wizard can easily overpower a third-stage wizard—a young wizard with frequent combat experience may not necessarily defeat an adult wizard with little combat experience, as the objective differences between the two are quite significant (such as magic power and physique). There are also some special cases that cannot be included in these six stages, such as inventing entirely new spells, which can only prove exceptional talent.

However, under the same conditions, the one with a deeper stage is definitely stronger than the one with a shallower stage.

Of course, these are all stages and realms defined by Dudley himself. After all, the wizarding world doesn't have a three-stage battle aura transformation or a battle aura horse transformation, nor does it have an advancement process such as wizard apprentice - wizard - wizard - great wizard - wizard saint - wizard god, or a rigid hierarchical system like half-step elite wizard at the Great Perfection.

There is no situation where you absolutely cannot beat someone of a higher level.

If you're caught off guard, even a world-renowned potions master could be ambushed by a third-grade wizard like me, who doesn't know any martial ethics.

The Discipline Group is currently making progress toward the fifth stage. Harry has already made some progress and is trying his best, while Hermione, who is usually ahead of the group, is having some trouble this time. She is good at learning step by step, but she is not as creative as Harry.

It wasn't that Dudley was pressuring them too much; the main problem was that Voldemort wouldn't give them much time. According to the intelligence he had received, Voldemort had successfully recruited a large number of dark creatures, and even the giant spiders of the Forbidden Forest had been invited, and they could launch an attack at any time.
