A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 106 Transfiguration and Charms
"Ow~"

The lion let out a roar, and the hair of the little witch in front of him flew back.

Luna blinked, and the young wizards around her took two steps back in horror.

In the next second, the lion started running around the ring, sometimes turning into a vigorous leopard, sometimes turning into a one-horned rhinoceros, wild boar, boa constrictor...

The little wizards stared blankly at Professor McGonagall, isn't that what you were doing during the lecture?
From the beginning to the end, Professor McGonagall just waved his wand a few times without saying a single spell.

Dean Thomas couldn't help asking: "Is this one magic, or multiple magics? I can't see it at all."

If you want to describe Professor McGonagall's performance, the feelings of the little wizards are too smooth.

While running, the shape naturally changed.

Professor McGonagall's 'show off' lasted almost two or three minutes. When a giant eagle hovered over the auditorium, the students raised their heads and stretched their necks to watch.

Finally, the giant eagle landed on the ring, rolled over and turned into a black cat again.

"Theoretically, little wizards in grades six and seven can do this." Professor McGonagall said to everyone in the audience.

"Wood, what about you?" Fred said to the team captain of his academy.

"Ahem..." Wood covered his face in embarrassment.

Not far away, Percy, who was in charge of maintaining order, walked up to a Ravenclaw girl: "I think I can do it, Penello, maybe I can't cast spells as smoothly as Professor McGonagall..."

"I can't do it, my transfiguration is not very good." said the girl, who also had a prefect badge on her chest.

"I can guide you," Percy said.

"Really?" The girl gave him a blank look.

On the stage, Professor McGonagall let the black cat stand in front of him.

"I need an assistant, Albert Balk, you have been working hard to become an Auror, let's try." Professor McGonagall selected students from his college.

Albert Balck stood up in fear. In the last duel class, he almost had a new understanding of the strength of the professors.

The young wizards in the audience stared intently. Obviously, Professor McGonagall did not intend to cast other spells, but used Transfiguration throughout the process, which made the battle between the two of them very interesting.

The two were eight or nine meters apart from each other.

Felix acted as the referee, "Bow to each other... One, two, the duel begins."

Balk quickly jumped aside, raised his hand and cast a disarming spell.

The black cat in front of Professor McGonagall jumped up and blocked the disarming spell.

The black cat in mid-air was a little unstable, one foot turned into a chair leg, but in the next second, it rolled on the spot and turned into an agile leopard.

Balk cast another spell, this time blocked more easily.

"Balk, you need to speed up your casting speed."

During this interval, Professor McGonagall said, she waved her wand, and two more chairs flew towards them, which also took the form of leopards.

At this moment, three leopards with black spots stood in front of Professor McGonagall, guarding her safety.

Balk gritted his teeth, no longer held any scruples, and cast spells one after another.

In terms of duels alone, he did rank high among the students at Hogwarts, thanks to his uncle who was an Auror in the Ministry of Magic and had a few years of low-intensity training.

But Professor McGonagall blocked it very easily, "One of the characteristics of Transfiguration is that it is quite restrained from a single spell. Of course, to do this, you need outstanding eyesight."

The three leopards cooperated with each other and handled it with ease.

"Fire!" Balk's spell hit a leopard, and its body suddenly burst into flames.

In the flames, Transfiguration was useless, and it became a burning chair again.

Professor McGonagall said, "Transfiguration works on water and fire as well, so you just have to change your spells a bit—"

The flaming chair jumped up and transformed into a flaming lion, its mane dancing with bright flames.

Balk couldn't help taking two steps back, but fortunately, Professor McGonagall had no intention of attacking.

Balk quickly thought of a good way, "Shatter to pieces!" A red light flashed, and the spell accurately hit another leopard, causing it to shatter into a dozen pieces in mid-air.

But the situation was even worse, every fragment turned into a palm-sized kitten, and they nimbly circled behind Balby, staring at him neither far nor near.

"In short distances, or within the control range of Transfiguration, it is more difficult than you imagine, Balk." Professor McGonagall said, her mood was very happy, no longer serious.

Hearing Professor McGonagall's explanation, Balk panicked a little. He suddenly realized that the more he attacked, the more unfavorable he would be in a situation.

After a few seconds of stalemate, a kitten ran to his feet, and Balk couldn't help kicking it out, but the kitten transformed into a cane, tightly entangled his legs.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall not only released the water, but also released the sea, the vines did not continue to grow, and Balk's arm was free.

In a panic, he cast a spell on the nearest kitten, "Torn to pieces! To pieces! To pieces!"

The kitten didn't dodge. In Balk's eyes, its body disintegrated in an instant, and various fragments flew into the air, transforming into finger-sized birds with long, pointed beaks.

They stagnated in mid-air, forming a wall, and aimed at Balk with their sharp beaks, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next second.

In the eyes of the little wizards, Balk was completely surrounded. Looking up was a formation of flying birds, and behind him was a group of small black cats the size of palms. Farther away, flaming lions and leopards were staring at him.

Balk's scalp was numb, and he quickly shouted: "I surrender, Professor McGonagall, I surrender."

Professor McGonagall stopped with regret, she still had a lot to show.

She turned the shapeshifting creature back into a chair and fixed it with Restoration.She looked at the little wizard in the audience and said: "For most wizards, they don't guard against transfiguration in a duel. If you can master a few of them proficiently, you can completely surprise them."

Felix couldn't help clapping his hands in praise, which was exactly in line with his idea of ​​defeating Lockhart.

The second person to come on stage was Professor Flitwick, who showed everyone a concept of dueling and the matching of spells.

Professor Flitwick was short, but he caught the eyes of the little wizards as easily as he did in class.

"If you have mastered a lot of magic, there must be a question, can I really use them?"

"Maybe it's better to specialize in one magic?"

"These are two different options. What I want to show you today is how different spells should work together."

"They're all very simple spells, I think—" Professor Flitwick yelled, "Flock of birds!"

There was a loud bang from his wand, like a pistol firing, and a flock of red-feathered birds fluttered out of the wand.

A Hufflepuff muttered, "That's not an easy spell, that's what NEWTs are for."

"Shut up," said his friend.

Flitwick looked at the bird: "Of course you can use it to attack, and it works well. But if you add the copy spell—" He waved his wand, and the bird split apart "bang bang bang".

"Plus the Expansion Curse—"

A palm-sized bird rapidly swells and becomes bigger.

Flitwick raised his head and looked at the hundreds of owl-like birds surrounding the gilded ring, which almost completely covered his figure.

In front of Flitwick's small stature, many little wizards couldn't help feeling awed.
