Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 478 Iron Armor Curse

Marian, who was lowering her head and fiddling with her new hairpin, was startled by the sudden sound. When she looked up, she realized that Moody's magic eye had looked over at some point.

She stood up tremblingly, her face flushed, and she whispered: "I've heard of it, it should be killing, killing curse..."

“Fine, sit down, but you’d better put that thing away next time you go to class.”

Moody turned his head, but the magic eye was still staring at her, "Yes, the killing curse is also the most terrifying curse... But these are courses for sixth grade and above, and it is too early for you.

 “Who else knows about the more common black magic?”

 A few more hands were raised.

 “Miss Prince.” Moody pointed at Connor.

“Well, there’s one that should be,” said Connor. “The Corruption Charm.”

"Ah, yes, standard black magic." Moody nodded, "It can corrode flesh and bones, it is extremely dangerous, and it is also the favorite trick of most dark wizards... So you may not understand it very well."

 He took out his wand and flicked it at the podium.

　　The podium was immediately covered with a layer of purple, sludge-like substance, and the hard wood melted instantly like ice cubes poured with hot water.

The students sitting in the front row leaned back one after another for fear of being affected.

Moody waved his magic wand again and restored the podium to its original state.

 “Is there any more? Who knows other magic spells?”

 Everyone raised their hands again, and he pointed at someone randomly.

 “The Horned Curse!”

"Barely so," Moody said, "but this curse is more of a restricted curse and is not illegal as long as it does not cause harm."

"I know one, Professor." Someone else said: "Fire Curse."

"standard answer."

 …

 “Skull Expansion Curse!”

"very good."

 …

The atmosphere in the classroom has been completely aroused, and the students no longer seem to be afraid of Moody's scarred face, and start to raise their hands first to answer questions.

However, some of these people really knew it, some heard it through hearsay, and some made up a curse directly on the spot...but it was exposed by Moody on the spot.

When the atmosphere was almost calm, Professor Moody clapped his hands again, signaling everyone to put down their hands.

"Okay, let's get back to the business." He said, "These black magics, without exception, can bring great trouble to people. Logically speaking, I should teach you all kinds of breaking spells at this time, whether it is prescribed by the Ministry of Magic or not. It’s what the textbooks say, but I don’t think so.

I think the most effective way to break a spell is to prevent the enemy's black magic from hitting you. Therefore, I decided to teach you the simplest and most common defense method in the first lesson! "

 He turned his head and wrote a few big words on the blackboard, but everyone knew that his magic eye must be observing them through the back of his head at this time.

 So no one dared to whisper at this time, they all sat upright. Soon, Moody finished writing, turned around and pointed at the blackboard and said:

“The Iron Armor Curse is the most effective defense method. Wizards who are proficient in the Iron Armor Curse can resist 90% of black magic. At the same time, this curse is also an entry requirement for Aurors.

If any of you want to be an Auror after graduation, you must remember that only those who are proficient in the Iron Armor Curse can take the subsequent Auror assessment. Otherwise, even if you get all the certificates, you will be rejected. outside the door. "

 Some people immediately took out their quills and began to take notes seriously.

"Professor..." At this time, someone raised his hand and asked: "Can the Iron Armor Curse resist the Killing Curse?"

Moody's magic eyes turned and looked at that person.

"Theoretically, it's possible," he said, "but the Killing Curse is very special. It not only has magic power, but also the malice in people's hearts. This is the key to the Killing Curse. And these malices are much more terrifying than magic power. , so it often takes several times the opponent's magic power to block the killing curse with the Iron Armor Curse.

The difference is as if you were using the Killing Curse on me... Seriously, it's not only pointless, it's stupid. Because you don't know if your opponent is really as bad as they appear.

 So when facing the killing curse, the best way is to avoid it, rather than resist it..."

The sound of rustling quills writing came again from the classroom.

 Although this was something that only higher grades needed to learn, Moody did not stop them from taking notes. Instead, he waited quietly.

After everyone had finished writing, he waved his wand, and lines of small words appeared on the blackboard, along with wand hand gestures.

The above clearly illustrates the hand gesture changes required when casting the Iron Armor Charm, as well as the direction and amplitude of the wand's waving.

"This is homework." Moody said, "It is also the Iron Armor Curse technique that I have summarized. I ask you to write it all down. We will do the actual operation in the next class. If anyone's theory is a mess... "

 He grinned, and the scars on his face were all crowded together, which made him look even more terrifying.

“Believe me, you will regret it when the time comes.

Of course, I know that some of you must not care about this, but it doesn’t matter, I will tell the treatment room in the school hospital in advance and ask her to prepare a few bunks for you..."

The classroom was silent. During the rest of the class, everyone was busy copying notes on the blackboard. No one spoke until the bell rang...

 Moody limped out of the classroom, the thumping sound of his wooden legs on the ground getting farther and farther until it disappeared.

 In an instant, all kinds of discussions arose.

 Except for a few students who expressed concern, most of them were very excited and just wanted to hurry up to Friday, the only day they could have their second Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

“He’s really good, right?” After leaving the classroom, Mikel looked at the parchment full of words in his hand and said:

“He knows all kinds of dark magic very well, and he discovered all the things I made up that looked so similar... It seems that not everyone is as famous as Lockhart.”

Kyle glanced at him and hesitated to tell Mikel that the so-called "clearing spell" he made up actually had another name, called "cleaning spell."

 Let the thing pointed by the magic wand disappear instantly. Isn't this just cleaning up?

Just as the Transfiguration Spell cannot conjure food, the Cleansing Spell has no effect on any object containing life. Not to mention Moody, any wizard with a bit of common sense would know that this was made up.

 Otherwise, the Killing Curse should have been ranked second on the list. After all, in terms of convenience, it is far behind.
