I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

Friday arrived quickly, and at 7 PM, the Duel Club's power rankings finally came to a close.

Gilderoy Lockhart remains at the top of the list, but the gap between him and Professor Flitwick is now very small, while Su Yu overtook Snape at the last moment to become fourth.

The event venue was a huge circular lecture hall, somewhat similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, with a platform in the center and protective spells around the platform to prevent the spells of the duel from harming the students in the stands.

This was created by several professors over the past two days using the Seamless Stretch Charm and the Transformation Charm. The venue can accommodate 800 people, and judging by the looks of it, at least 500 students are here today. Gilderoy Lockhart is all smiles and full of confidence.

"I'm very happy that you all could come to the Duel Club event today. I've noticed that a Duel Power Prediction Ranking has recently appeared on campus."

"It is a great honor for me to be the strongest professor in the eyes of the students, but I must tell you that every professor at Hogwarts has their own area of ​​expertise and is very powerful."

"Next, we professors will demonstrate what a wizard duel is. However, as you may have noticed, there are five of us. In order not to affect the competition rules, I have decided to withdraw from this match and become a referee instead."

Lockhart's words caused a stir among the students, with many young witches expressing their regret.

Snape, standing at the back, had a dark expression. He glanced at Lockhart disdainfully and muttered two words: "Hypocrite!"

Su Yu stood next to Snape and leaned closer, saying, "Hehe, you're so angry, it's not because my ranking surpassed yours, is it!"

"Don't talk to me, you definitely cheated, the data from the last two days is obviously wrong!" Snape said irritably.

Su Yu was a little uneasy about this. Although he hadn't instructed anyone, his votes had suddenly skyrocketed on Thursday and Friday, which inevitably aroused suspicion. He even criticized Gemma Farley for it.

But feeling guilty doesn't mean you can't be stubborn. Su Yu said, "Really? Is it possible that some people have a sour face and aren't popular with students?"

"Hmph!" Snape indicated that he didn't want to talk. He had already made up his mind to give Su Yu a good beating in the ring later.

Hearing the students' regrets, Lockhart gestured for everyone to quiet down before continuing, "I know you're all very disappointed, but I'll step in. Professor Su Yu, would you like to play an opening exhibition match with me?"

Su Yu was quite surprised to be asked this question. Could it be because Lockhart thought he was the weakest and could have a go at him, a complete noob?

Su Yu guessed correctly; Lockhart really thought so. In his memory, Su Yu during his school days had no other talents besides alchemy, so he figured that talent was something that wouldn't change.

Therefore, in Lockhart's plan, as long as he plays against Su Yu and wins, and then presides over the match as a referee, he can keep his title of number one.

As for Su Yu's reputation, Lockhart wasn't worried at all. First of all, Su Yu's character was originally an alchemist, and secondly, someone who could modify his own data must also have a way to eliminate the negative impact of losing a duel.

Seeing that Su Yu did not agree for a long time, Lockhart continued to ask, "Professor Su, is it alright?"

"Professor Su! Professor Su! Professor Su!" The students in the stands began to shout in unison.

Su Yu also wanted to teach Lockhart a lesson, so he smiled and said, "It would be my pleasure!"

In the first duel, Snape served as the referee. Lockhart and Su Yu came to the center of the arena, took out their wands, and bowed to each other.

Then both sides turned around and, as per the rules, each took ten steps to create distance, then turned around and assumed their starting stances.

Seeing that the two were ready, Snape said, "Ready, one... two..."

Just as Snape was about to read the number three, Lockhart moved: "Expelliarmus!"

Chapter 92 The True Wizarding Duel (Part 2)

"My God, Lockhart actually attacked us! That's so shameless!" It was Harry who spoke. He had been annoyed by Lockhart for a long time and couldn't take it anymore.

Hermione stammered as she stood there. She was indeed a fan of Lockhart, but Professor Su Yu was also her idol, and Lockhart's behavior at this moment really made her feel ashamed.

In the original film, Lockhart and Snape's duel was like child's play; Snape defeated Lockhart with just one move, "Expelliarmus."

But Su Yu, who had been in this world for over thirty years, knew that Lockhart was definitely not a minor character who could be easily dealt with.

Even though he wasn't very good at magic other than the Oblivion Spell, and even though he had been indulging in the elaborate facade he had created for many years, causing his magical skills to regress rather than improve, none of this was a reason for Su Yu to be careless.

Having faced formidable opponents such as Dracula, the Jumping Pot, and Voldemort, Su Yu's combat experience has grown considerably.

So when Lockhart launched his sneak attack, Su Yu responded immediately, waving his wand diagonally and releasing an incomplete Ironclad Charm.

The armored spell, like an umbrella, opened at the tip of Su Yu's wand. As Su Yu moved his hand while waving the wand, it struck Lockhart's spell from the side.

With a bang, the spell and the shield collided, like a plasma explosion, splashing up a red streak of light, and Lockhart's spell was deflected.

Then Su Yu countered with a thunderous explosion!

Of course, Su Yu didn't attack Lockhart directly. He aimed at the floor next to Lockhart, but Lockhart was already startled when he heard the spell of the thunderous explosion.

He instinctively lunged to the other side and rolled on the ground like a lazy donkey.

The spell struck the ground, blasting stones into the air. Several small stones even hit Lockhart, causing him great pain.

Su Yu's attack wasn't over yet. He waved his wand again, and the flying pebbles, like a flock of obedient birds, lined up around Su Yu and began to spin rapidly around him.

As it spun, the shapes of the small pebbles began to change, transforming into longswords that gleamed with a cold light.

Then Su Yu pointed his wand, and all the flying swords transformed into a torrent, rushing towards Lockhart. If you were close enough to Su Yu, you could even hear him muttering to himself, "Boundless Heaven and Earth, Qiankun Sword Technique!"

"Wow, what kind of magic is this? It's so cool!" Ron exclaimed excitedly.

Hermione's face flushed slightly, clearly excited. She explained, "There's Polymorph, Levitation Charm, and... it's a combination spell! Professor Su Yu is truly amazing!"

This was a move Su Yu had been fantasizing about ever since he was accepted into Hogwarts. Unfortunately, his magic and Transfiguration skills weren't enough to achieve such an effect before. Now that he's using it, it can be considered as fulfilling a dream he had in his previous life.

"This child's Transfiguration has improved again!" Professor McGonagall's eyes gleamed as she saw this.

Snape's eyes also lit up with amazement. He remembered that when he went to explore the Jumping Pot Secret Realm with Su Yu last time, Su Yu's Transfiguration was not at this level. He did not expect that in just over two months, this guy had become stronger again.

However, this move also has its drawbacks. It looks cool, but in terms of actual damage, it's just average. So Snape can still proudly raise his head and comment: "Fancy but useless!"

Snape looked down on this move, but Lockhart was terrified. He hurriedly rolled over to dodge, but the flying swords seemed to have eyes and followed him.

The flying sword first changed direction and flew into the sky. After Lockhart finished rolling, it descended from the sky. Lockhart had no chance to dodge and screamed in fright.

Whoosh! The flying sword grazed Lockhart and plunged into the ground, even pinning his robes to the earth, yet it did not harm Lockhart in the slightest.

Professor Flitwick on the sidelines clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wow, incredibly skillful control of magic!"

Snape continued to scoff, "Fancy!"

Lockhart was startled. He looked around at the longsword beside him and, finding himself unharmed, struggled to his feet.

He tidied his clothes and hair, then performed a clean-up and restoration, before speaking unhurriedly:

"It seems I've lost. We should applaud Professor Su and thank him for demonstrating such exquisite transformation techniques to us!"

“In the duel just now, I made a few mistakes. First of all, I attacked before the referee finished counting down, which was a shameful sneak attack.”

"Secondly, I failed to block Professor Su Yu's explosive spell, which allowed him to use the debris generated by the explosion to transform into the weapons he needed. This was my second mistake."

"Although I could have easily avoided these mistakes, I did it on purpose so that you would see more negative examples. I hope you will not let my efforts go to waste and will keep these two points in mind forever."

After Lockhart finished speaking, many of the little witches suddenly realized: Professor Lockhart had done this on purpose to make a deeper impression on us.

The little witches immediately gave Lockhart a warm round of applause, but most of the young wizards weren't impressed, and Ron joined in the booing.

"My God, how can this guy be so shameless? When those swords were shooting down from the sky, he was so scared he almost peed his pants. I don't believe he did it on purpose!"

Harry agreed with Ron: "That's right. When he struggled out of that pile of swords, his pants were ripped open. Who would deliberately make themselves look like that?"

Su Yu paid no attention to Lockhart's speech or the crowd's discussions, because the moment Lockhart conceded defeat, Su Yu's system notified him:

Ding! Congratulations on winning a wizard duel! You have unlocked the achievement "King of Duels 1" and gained 1 free skill point. Keep up the good work!

Ding! Congratulations on defeating Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in a head-on duel. You can choose one of the following three feats as your feat:

1. Great Writer: Significantly improve your writing skills.

2. Thick-skinned: You never feel embarrassed in any situation and can always find a reason to maintain your dignity.

3. Master of Oblivion: Your Oblivion Spell gains an additional skill level.

The achievement has been activated again! Su Yu was recently worried about not having enough skill points. He didn't expect that Wizard Duel could trigger the achievement system. Since that's the case, he must come to this Duel Club more often.

What surprised Su Yu even more was the second reward. Could it be that by defeating an opponent in a head-on duel, he could obtain one of their specialties?

Su Yu didn't have time to think much and quickly analyzed the characteristics of the three specialties. To be honest, they were all quite practical. If he hadn't transmigrated, he would have definitely chosen the first or second one, but now he chose the third one almost without hesitation!

Lockhart completely ignored the young wizards' ridicule, pulled out a lottery box, and said with great enthusiasm:

"Alright, now it's time for the main tournament of today's Duel Club. Our four professors will draw their numbers. Number 1 will face number 4, and number 2 will face number 3. The winners will advance to the final!"

Chapter 93 Transfiguration Showdown (Part 1)

Su Yu was the first to draw a number, and he drew number one. Originally, Su Yu didn't care about this duel at all, since even if he cared, he still couldn't win. His idea was to just go through the motions, have some fun, and see the gap between himself and the other professors.

However, the system's sudden reward disrupted Su Yu's plans. For the sake of free skill points and template expertise, Su Yu's damn competitive spirit was instantly aroused.

The second person to draw a number was Snape, number three. The two were perfectly separated, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was a formidable figure who could fight four raiders single-handedly.

Next was Professor Flitwick. He reached into the box, took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and then looked up and smiled at Su Yu.

Is it Professor Flitwick? Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Professor Flitwick, the former world champion of the Duel Tournament, his dueling skills and experience are beyond doubt. Su Yu felt that he had no chance of winning against him.

"Haha, Sue, it seems we can't be opponents in the first match. I'm number two!" Professor Flitwick laughed and showed his number to everyone.

Phew, thank goodness it wasn't Professor Flitwick. Su Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw Professor McGonagall smiling. Oh no, we can't beat this big shot either!

At this moment, Su Yu felt the full malice from this world. In a competition of four people, three were kings, and he was the only noob. How could he possibly win?

"Alright, the order of the matches has been determined. The first match is between Professor Su Yu and Professor McGonagall. Let's give them a round of applause!" Lockhart's voice rang out at the right moment, while he himself quickly retreated to the sidelines to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Snape came to Su Yu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck! Although the chances are slim, I still hope to meet you in the finals!"

"Get away from me, you talk like you're guaranteed to beat Professor Flitwick." Su Yu irritably slapped his hand away.

"I have confidence in myself!" Snape's tone was cold and domineering.

Su Yu couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum, so she stubbornly replied, "I also have confidence in myself."

Snape chuckled: "But I don't have faith in you!"

Su Yu was seething with hatred, but he didn't have any good solutions. That was Professor McGonagall, the best Transfiguration expert after Dumbledore, the vice-principal of Hogwarts, and she was definitely not just a name without substance.

Just like before, the two drew their wands, bowed, and then turned to create distance between themselves. Lockhart shouted from outside the protective barrier, "One...two...three!"

As soon as those three words were uttered, Su Yu launched the first attack, pointing his wand at Professor McGonagall: "Expelliarmus!"

Professor McGonagall held her wand in her right hand, looking very elegant. She took a slight step forward, tapped her wand lightly, and released a blue spell that collided with Su Yu's red spell.

Then, with a bang, both spells vanished, transforming into several colorful butterflies that fluttered away in all directions.

"Professor McGonagall, what kind of spell is that? It looks really powerful!" Harry asked, puzzled.

"It seems like... a Transfiguration Charm!" Hermione said, somewhat uncertainly.

“How is that possible? Shouldn’t the Transfiguration Charm only be able to transform physical objects?” Ron retorted, as this touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.
