Professor Flitwick stopped stroking his beard and said with some meaning: "Ryan, it's too early for you."

"No, Professor, it doesn't matter if it's early or not." Ryan said sincerely, "I'm mainly interested in dueling."

"It's good to be interested!" Professor Flitwick looked pleased. "Interest is the best teacher. However, it is better for you to master some more spells before learning dueling."

"Professor, I want to experience the feeling of a duel first." Ryan said.

He has already learned a lot of spells, and the intensity of magic power cannot be improved in a short time, so Ryan focuses on combat experience.

As a dueling champion, Professor Flitwick's combat experience is definitely worth learning from.

Although there is a big difference between a wizard's duel and an actual life-and-death struggle, Ryan estimates that he will not fight with others for the time being, let alone improve himself in the line between life and death. He is afraid that he will be killed if he does not have enough experience. Gave it away.

It would be more reliable to study with Professor Flitwick.

"Ryan, it's good for you to be motivated." Professor Flitwick said, "Well, let's simulate a wizard duel so that you can know why I asked you to master more spells and practice dueling. .”

He raised his wand: "According to the rules of duel, we can only use our own wand to attack, so you must show your wand to the opponent to indicate the weapon you are using."

Ryan also took out his wand and held it up to his nose in Professor Flitwick's posture, like he was holding a mini sword.

"The next step is to bow to each other and salute...and then the two sides distance themselves." Professor Flitwick said while doing the corresponding actions, "Get into a dueling posture, count to three, and the duel begins. Generally, the referee will call this. I'll do it for you this time. Ryan, are you ready? One, two, three!"

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

Ryan raised his wand over his shoulder without hesitation and shouted.

Professor Flitwick's expression changed. He swayed and narrowly escaped Ryan's curse.

He originally wanted to release some water to avoid damaging Ryan's self-confidence, but he saw that Ryan was already running vigilantly, and his hands kept moving:

"Armor protection! There are many obstacles!"

The iron armor spell seemed to give Ryan a sense of security. He slowed down his running speed and stabilized his casting gestures.

Professor Flitwick's eyes finally became serious, and he couldn't help but wonder in his mind: Where did this little wizard learn so many spells?

He tapped his head with the wand and rolled his body, evading Ryan's spell to the smallest extent each time.

Professor Flitwick waved his wand calmly: "Petrify them all."

Ryan didn't dare to take on Flivy's spell just because he had the Iron Armor Curse. He could barely resist Marcus's spell, so he immediately hid aside.

However, the place to step is no longer the hard classroom floor, but the soft quagmire.

Ryan stumbled and fell, rolled over without thinking, and avoided Professor Flitwick's leg-locking spell.

Professor Flitwick had a look of admiration on his face. He did not continue the pursuit and gave Ryan time to catch his breath.

Ryan rolled over and climbed up. He held the wand and stared at the movements in Professor Flitwick's hand warily.

He has already figured out what happened just now.

The "Petrify them all" was a false move. Professor Flitwick shouted it just to cover up another spell he cast silently.

Transfiguration?

Ryan stopped thinking because Professor Flitwick had already started waving his wand.

He held his breath and discerned the path of Professor Flitwick's wand.

Lock tongue and throat?No, it’s changed, it’s all petrified!

Ryan was just about to take a step, but felt his legs tightening. His heart sank suddenly. He no longer cared about what spell Professor Flitwick was reciting, and immediately threw himself forward, shouting decisively: "The curse stops!"

With his legs free again, Ryan awkwardly dodged the disarming spell that Flitwick had enough time to cast.

When did my legs get trapped?Ryan frowned and raised his wand again: "Lock the tongue and seal the throat."

This time, Professor Flitwick did not dodge. He spread his hands and let the spell hit him.

Then, as if he was demonstrating to Ryan, he tapped his lips with his wand and stuck out his tongue in a playful manner.

"I lost." Ryan was convinced.

"You have performed quite well." Professor Flitwick said, "I think it will be difficult to find a wizard with your level of combat consciousness among senior students. Have you ever had any experience in a wizard duel with others before? "

Ryan thought for a while and did not intend to tell anyone about his fight with Malfoy. He replied: "Before I entered school, I learned Muggle free fighting from my parents."

"No wonder you can consciously make some evasive movements." Professor Flitwick commented, "However, wizard duels are still different from the Muggles' armed combat. You can predict the fighting movements, but the wizard's spells can't be predicted." More hidden.”

He pointed out: "I saw that you used the lock tongue to seal your throat without thinking, which means that you have already preset a battle plan in your brain, which has advantages and disadvantages. However, if you want to get higher in the duel, Achievements, I suggest you abandon your inherent attack mode."

Ryan nodded, and he explained his "Great Silence Package" to Professor Flitwick.

Flitwick smiled: "Your idea is very good. It is more than enough to deal with most young wizards and even adult wizards. However, as you can see, this trick is not effective for those who have mastered silent spellcasting. It’s a big discount. Likewise, I also recommend that you practice the silent spell of Stop Curse well."

"I will, Professor." Ryan continued to ask: "Professor, there is another thing I don't quite understand. When did you use the leg-locking spell to trap my feet?"

"When you got up from the ground." Professor Flitwick said, he showed a big smile, "I think you must have tried your best to distinguish the gesture of my wand, right? However, when your magic skills mature, Now, you can also simplify the standard wand gesture so that no one can easily guess the spell you are about to cast."

"If you can't guess the opponent's spell, how can you prevent and counterattack?"

"At this point, it's a pure competition of strength. To see whose spells are more powerful, to see whose spell-casting skills are more flexible, to see who can recite spells faster, to see whose reactions are more agile - I immediately I used a supersensory spell to enhance my perception. Of course, for a legendary wizard like Dumbledore, I think he can still tell what spell you are using. At his level, judging the spell no longer depends on pronunciation and It’s a spell-casting technique.”

Ryan nodded, knowing that he did not lose unfairly.If you can't even tell what kind of spell the opponent is using, and you are crushed by absolute strength, it will be impossible to win.

"Professor, I understand." Ryan sighed, "I will lay the foundation first."

"What are you talking about, kid?" Flitwick blinked in pretend confusion, "You are doing so well, how could I have the heart to reject a kid's ambition? If you have any questions about duels or spells, you can always Come and ask me."

He stood on tiptoe and patted Ryan on the back: "I have seen the new generation of duel kings marching towards the throne destined to be glorious!"
