Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

In front of Leivde, Tom was still a very obedient person.

After Leivde's analysis, Tom gave up the idea of joining the Esoteric Order of Warlocks.

Whether Grindelwald can succeed is another matter, but with Tom's age and current meager abilities, if he really follows this group of people, he might not even have the chance to grow up...

In this regard, Tom, who fully realized his lack of ability because of Leivde, can now be said to be very self-aware.

So, the two of them temporarily stayed at the Hog's Head Inn, waiting for the start of school while practicing magic on their own.

During this time, Dumbledore came once in person, seemingly to repair the protective magic that had been broken on the attic.

After finishing, he hurriedly left Hogsmeade, without staying to take a look at Leivde and Tom.

Obviously, their war with Grindelwald had reached a fever pitch, and it was already very difficult for him to find time to come over.

Especially since Grindelwald was now in England, making the British Ministry of Magic very nervous.

Because Dumbledore had repelled Grindelwald several years ago, his abilities were also valued by the British Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, the British Ministry of Magic could almost be said to be unable to leave Dumbledore's help for a moment...

In fact, Dumbledore also proved his importance.

As long as he was present, Grindelwald's Esoteric Order of Warlocks would not be able to gain any advantage.

As a result, Dumbledore's reputation in the wizarding world was also getting higher and higher...

In order to understand the development of the situation, Leivde and Tom both subscribed to a copy of the 'Daily Prophet'.

According to the reports in the Daily Prophet, Grindelwald and his gang in England and the Aurors led by Dumbledore, experienced seven or eight battles of various sizes in just two weeks.

Both sides suffered great losses, but what was strange was that although many people were injured on both sides, the number of deaths was very few.

It was as if both sides were not fighting desperately during the battle.

Finally, after two weeks had passed, Grindelwald, who could not gain any advantage under Dumbledore, led his subordinates out of England and disappeared.

People speculated that he should have returned to Nurmengard in Austria to regroup.

However, although no victory or defeat was determined this time, Grindelwald's retreat still greatly relieved the wizards in the British wizarding world.

...

"Stupefy!"

"Bang!"

"Too slow, the intention is too obvious... Before your spell is cast, the landing point has already been judged. How can you hit me? Come on, continue!"

In the forest near Hogsmeade, Tom finally mustered the courage to launch his first formal challenge to Leivde.

After more than two weeks of hard practice, Tom believed that it was time to take revenge on Leivde.

In his opinion, after working hard day and night to practice, his current ability had definitely caught up with the lazy Leivde!

Therefore, the new and old grudges would be settled today!

It's just a pity... the development of things did not seem to be developing in the direction he wanted to see...

Tom, who studied earnestly and diligently every day, could not do anything to this lazy Leivde who just casually read books and then started wandering around!

To be precise, his spell couldn't even touch the corner of Leivde's clothes!

And from beginning to end, Leivde didn't even take the hand holding the wand out from behind...

In other words, Leivde didn't even fight back, but he couldn't do anything to him!

He was even pointing fingers at his movements while dodging spells!

So, the more Tom attacked, the stronger the sense of frustration...

"The steps are slow, if I attack at this time, you won't even have time to hide in the bunker."

Leivde's pointing fingers came again, almost shattering Tom's Dao heart.

"Fight back! You're being so long-winded, aren't you annoying!" Tom's unwillingness and frustration turned into an angry roar.

"Okay..." As soon as Leivde's voice fell, Tom found that his wand had flown out of his hand.

By the time Tom came back to his senses, he had already been tied up and hung on a tree...

At this time, the expression on Tom's face was wonderful, with anger, incomprehension, and shock...

He didn't even see what happened, and he was defeated!

"You... how did you do it..." Tom couldn't help but ask as he watched Leivde slowly approach.

"I said just now, the speed of casting must be fast. If you chant slowly, your attack will not be any threat at all."

Leivde stood under the tree, raised his neck, and looked at Tom who was hanging on the tree, miserable and miserable.

"You... you have already learned silent spells? That's why your attacks are so fast?" Tom looked at him in shock.

"The point of your surprise is a bit inexplicable, Tom. Silent spells are not the point! The first day we met, when I knocked you down, did I chant any spells?"

Tom was slightly stunned by Leivde's question.

Without waiting for Tom to come back to his senses, Leivde continued to ask: "Back then, in the alley, when you knocked down those two traffickers, did you... chant any spells?"

"Why was your attack so crisp and neat before you learned magic spells, but after learning magic spells, your attack became so procrastinating?"

"Although I don't want to say it, but... Tom, you have been studying so hard during this period, not only have you not improved, but you have regressed a lot..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Tom.

Before learning magic spells, silent spells came at will, but after learning magic spells, silent spells could not be released... Isn't this a regression?

"This... why is this?" Tom couldn't help but continue to ask the guy he once hated the most in front of him.

Leivde shook his head and said: "Because before learning magic spells, you didn't think too much when attacking. Your thoughts were very pure, just wanting to knock the other person down. It just happened to be in line with the essence of magic, and also in line with the release conditions of silent spells..."

"And when you learned magic spells, you thought about more things, every syllable pause of each magic spell, every arc of waving the wand, all had to be strictly in accordance with what was written in the book..."

"In this way, your magic spell is indeed used very beautifully, but you have lost the purity of casting spells at the beginning. Along with the power and speed of the attack, you have also regressed terribly."

Tom said dejectedly: "Is this why you don't read books much and don't study magic spells much? Is it wrong for me to study magic spells?"

Leivde shook his head, "No, Tom. I didn't say that studying magic spells is wrong. In fact, you should continue to study and learn magic spells."

"And you have to study all the magic spells thoroughly. Only by understanding the basic principles of these magic spells can you use the magic spells at will without being constrained by techniques and spell syllables."

"Our previous silent spell attacks were just inadvertently using a certain magic. In fact, if we use silent spells after fully understanding this magic, you will find that the power will be much stronger than before."

"As for how much stronger... you just experienced my Disarming Charm, you should be able to understand."

Tom, who was hung on the tree, frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Tom suddenly asked: "You tell me these things, aren't you afraid that I will eventually catch up with you, and then eventually defeat you?"

Leivde still had a gentle smile on his face: "It was my mistake to make you have the illusion that you can challenge me. However, rest assured, you will soon no longer have this illusion."

Tom glared at Leivde with a dark face.

He now strongly suspects that this bastard will really die if he doesn't show off!
