Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 637 The Magic of Galleon

 Nearly a hundred related books, simple but useful magic props, and instruments specially used to test the power of spells, revealing professionalism in every corner.

In Kyle’s opinion, this is what a Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom should be like.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and Ginny, Neville and several Gryffindor students also arrived.

 From then on until eight o'clock, people kept coming in from outside.

　　Everyone looked very surprised after seeing Kyle in the room.

"Oh, you've never said this before..." Parvati of Gryffindor whispered to Hermione: "If I had known that Kyle was here, Padma would definitely come too."

"I just found out too." Hermione couldn't remember how many times she explained this. "He had refused our invitation before, and I thought he wouldn't come."

 Hermione had to admit that after experiencing various events in the past few years, especially after the Triwizard Tournament, Kyle's fame in Hogwarts had reached an incredible height.

This is why when she decided to teach herself Defense Against the Dark Arts, she first thought of asking Kyle to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts.

 It is no exaggeration to say that Kyle's name is a golden sign. If he had been present at the previous gathering, more people would have joined than now.

It’s a pity that Kyle refused at the time.

At eight o'clock, Hermione took out the list and checked it, and found that everyone was here.

Cedric walked to the door and turned the key in the lock, making a crisp clicking sound.

If anyone is outside at this time, they will find that the door that was still there suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall again, as if it had never appeared.

In the room, everyone was sitting on a soft cushion and talking to each other. Because it was the first time to come to such a magical room, everyone was in high spirits.

“Well, this is our next practice place.” Cedric said, “There are almost all books about Defense Against the Dark Arts here. You can also pick some that interest you and read them.

“Of course, forget it now, our time is limited, we mainly focus on practice.”

It can only be said that he is the president of the Boys' Student Union. Cedric quickly adapted to his current status and talked in front of more than fifty people without any trace of nervousness on his face.

“So, let’s do our first day’s practice… the leg-locking spell. I know that this spell is relatively basic, and many people know it, and more people use it as a prank spell.

"If that's the case, then you are too underestimated by this spell. When facing the enemy, the leg-locking spell can restrict the opponent's movements in the shortest time, thus giving yourself time to escape."

"I don't want to learn how to escape!" A voice came from the crowd, "This is so unambitious. Why can't we learn some powerful spells?"

“Because what you are about to face is not your Hogwarts classmates, nor is it a duel following etiquette, but an unknown adult wizard.” Cedric said,

“Before there is no certainty of victory, running away is the wisest choice, and no one will underestimate you because of this.”

“What’s wrong with adult wizards?” The man said unconvinced, “We may not have no chance of winning. Don’t forget, Kyle defeated a werewolf when he was in second grade.”

 There was a burst of discussion in the room again.

Indeed, Kyle first made a splash at Hogwarts when he defeated the werewolf and received the Order of Merlin.

 At that time, he was only a second grader...and the youngest people here were all third graders.

“That’s because there were two professors present at the time.” Kyle said calmly.

This was also the first time he spoke after everyone arrived.

"To be honest, if I had to choose again, I would rather not have the Order of Merlin than face a transformed werewolf alone."

The man mumbled something vaguely. Although he didn’t know what he said, it was clear that he didn’t believe what Kyle said.

"Well, since you think you can surpass Kyle, how about we do a little test." Cedric said with a smile: "See if you have the possibility to defeat an adult wizard."

 “What test?”

 “It’s very simple.” Cedric stood up and stepped on the soft cushion.

"I only use one magic. If you can get my feet off the cushion, you win."

 “No problem!” The man also stood up.

Kyle remembered that his name seemed to be Anthony Goldstein, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student.

 “What if I win?” he asked.

“Then I will teach you a powerful attack magic.” Cedric said.

 He waved his magic wand.

“Thunderbolt explosion!

There was a loud bang, and a large wardrobe in the room was instantly blown to pieces in the firelight. Strong air waves carried dust and sawdust and blew on everyone.

 At some point a big hole appeared on the ground, but it quickly disappeared.

Such a magical scene did not attract the attention of many people. Everyone's thoughts were still stuck in the shock caused by the blasting spell in the previous second.

“How about this spell,” Cedric said. “Is it a powerful offensive spell?”

 “I’ll give you another reward.” Kyle also said.

 He took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table. "If you win, these fifty galleons will be yours."

The golden galleons were piled together, and the impact they brought was slightly better than the blasting spell just now. "Okay!" Anthony couldn't move his eyes away. He took out his wand and assumed a duel posture.

Others immediately came to the side when they saw this, making enough space for the two of them.

"Wait a minute..." Anthony seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and quickly added: "You can't use this spell for a while."

"The Death Eaters won't make terms with you." Cedric said, "But this time I agree."

 No one said anything about starting, the battle can be said to be about to break out.

  Anthony had just begun to recite the spell when Cedric had already completed his.

He waved his magic wand, and the wooden blocks on the ground immediately twisted and turned into stoats, screaming and rushing toward Anthony.

 Then the battle is over.

 Anthony only had time to deal with two stoats, and was bitten on the hand holding the wand.

The wand fell to the ground, which naturally declared his failure.

"Unfortunately, it seems that you have no chance of defeating an adult wizard."

 Cedric waved his wand again, and the swarms of stoats immediately turned into pieces of wood again.

At this time, everyone was silent. They thought that Anthony would fail, but they did not expect that he would lose so quickly.

At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Cedric.

 Originally, everyone only knew him as a boy student union president with excellent academic performance, and at most, he was a Hufflepuff Quidditch captain.

 But now, they discovered that the president of the male student union did not just have good academic performance.

The transformation spell just now was so wonderful. More than a dozen wooden blocks were transformed at the same time without any pause in the middle. Moreover, every ferret after transformation was alive, as if it were real.

At this time, everyone looked at Cedric with a different look, and finally understood why he was the one who taught everyone how to teach themselves Defense Against the Dark Arts.

 But then they thought of another problem.

Don’t you say that Hufflepuffs are all mediocre people? Is there something wrong?

Forget Kyle, now there is another Cedric... If these are all mediocre, then what are they, trash?

Even Hermione was surprised.

Although she can also deform a dozen objects at the same time, she will never be as easy as Cedric.

And judging from the way he was able to do it just now, this is definitely not his limit.

No wonder Kyle recommended Cedric…

On the other side, Anthony looked at the pile of shining golden galleons on the table. Although he was unwilling to do so, he sighed, picked up his wand and sat back down again.

 But the next second, more people stood up.

 There was no other way, the temptation of that pile of Galleons was too great, and they couldn't help but want to try it.

　　What if, what if they can defeat Cedric... Anyway, if they lose, they don't have to pay much, but if they win, it will be fifty galleons.

 It's just a transformation spell. As long as you are prepared, it doesn't seem to be that difficult to deal with.

 In the crowd, Ron couldn't wait to launch the challenge.

 “Don’t worry.”

Kyle waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.

He then smiled and said, "I will not take back the galleons. As long as this place has not been disbanded, the reward will remain valid.

"Each of you has a chance to challenge Cedric. If you win, you can take away these Galleons, but you must remember that you only have one chance."

 Before Kyle finished speaking, the man who had just stood up sat back down instantly.

If you only have one chance, it's better to play it safe...learn a few more spells, defeat him with what Cedric taught, and then take the galleons.

There were excited discussions all around, and only Anthony groaned in pain... His chance had been used up.

 Then things went much smoother.

Cedric divided everyone into two groups and practiced the leg-locking spell together. Under the temptation of Galleon, everyone worked extra hard to learn, and some people were even more serious than before the final exam.

Cedric was very busy. Someone called him almost every second, and he had to go through the crowd and correct their wrong gestures.

“Hermione, see if my gesture is correct.” Ron looked at Neville opposite, whose legs were stretched straight, and frowned: “Why do I feel that his legs can still move?”

"Because you're moving the wand wrong," Hermione said. "The waving motion should be smaller. Just move your wrist and don't move your arms."

"Okay, I'll try again." Ron was so obedient for the first time and didn't refute her at all.

This made Hermione couldn't help but slap her forehead, thinking that the magic power of Galleons is really powerful enough.
