From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

"Miranda, do you really want to win?" Xiwen asked helplessly, covering his red forehead that was hit by a stone. "Why did you even use pebbles? It hurt my head..."

Miranda's expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"If I said... I didn't mean to throw stones at you, would you believe it?" she said in a weak voice.

Although they were talking to each other verbally, the two magic spells between the two were still deadlocked in the air, and neither of them had the slightest intention of relaxing.

"Aren't you trying to interfere with my spellcasting?" Xiven asked curiously. At the same time, he added a lot of magic output to the fused lightning, pushing it a few inches in the direction of Miranda.

Upon seeing this, Miranda once again increased the supply of magic power to the disarming spell, pushing Sivan's fusion spell back to the center position between the two.

"What are you thinking? In your eyes, am I the kind of person who... thinks that a small stone can interfere with the opponent's spellcasting?" Miranda looked at Xiwen reproachfully and said to him .

"Actually, I wanted to try to control the magic spell while using the other hand to cast a wandless transformation spell. But after throwing the stone out, I found that I couldn't concentrate and couldn't transform it at all, so I accidentally hit you on the head..."

Xiwen shook his head in confusion.

Then, he looked at the pebbles that had fallen to the ground, and his eyes suddenly moved.

He spread his left hand and easily used Kama Taj's basic spell to absorb the stones on the ground into the palm of his hand. Then, Xiwen tossed the pebble and looked at Miranda's forehead covered by bangs with a half-smile.

"I surrender!" Miranda glared at Xiwen angrily, suddenly put away the disarming spell that was in a stalemate with Xiwen's fusion lightning, and shouted to Professor Mellors.

Miranda's sudden surrender made Xiwen stunned for a moment. He hurriedly stopped the magic spell in his hand and asked her doubtfully: "Miranda, actually you should be able to feel it. If you can use it for a while longer, my magic power will be completely exhausted. You must be the one who wins."

"I know." Miranda said matter-of-factly.

"In that case, why do you still want to admit defeat?" Xiwen asked puzzledly.

"I don't want to get hit by you." Miranda rolled her eyes and said casually. "Do you think I don't know that you practice various fighting moves on the lawn northwest of the castle every morning? It will definitely hurt if you hit me, and I don't want to try it."

After saying this, Miranda walked off the duel stage, leaving Xiwen alone on the stage.

As Professor Mellors announced the final result of the duel, the audience suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers, bringing Xiwen back from his thoughts that were still outside the situation.

As soon as he stepped off the duel stage, he was immediately surrounded by the extremely enthusiastic Slytherin wizards, and was almost surrounded by them towards the long Slytherin table, which was put back in place by the house elves in a very short time. .

In addition, Xiven also vaguely heard Abraxas and Mobley talking proudly to others in the crowd——

"Did you see the first place in the school in that duel competition? That's my roommate!" The two sounded extremely proud, as if they were the ones who won the first place.

Sitting in the center of the Slytherin crowd, Sivan finished his last dinner in November with an extremely stiff expression, and then slipped out of the auditorium as if he was running away.

It wasn't until he reached the empty entrance courtyard that he took a deep breath and relaxed.

Xiwen really couldn't bear the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of people asking questions and making all kinds of boasts to please. In fact, the nature of Slytherin people is such that they must make friends with people who can bring benefits to them in the future. This kind of personality is best represented by Professor Slughorn, the dean of Slytherin.

……

It was already very cold at the end of November. Standing in the center of the entrance courtyard, you could see the dark sky at night covered with clouds, as if a huge storm was brewing.

Not only was Xiwen alone in the courtyard, there was another figure who seemed to have already arrived in the courtyard and was waiting for Xiwen's arrival.

Miranda sat on the railing of the circular corridor around the courtyard, leaning gently against the stone pillar next to her, her feet dangling in the air, swaying slightly from time to time.

Seeing Xiwen coming over, she smiled and said hello to him.

"How does it feel to be titled Duel King of Hogwarts?" Miranda asked with a teasing smile.

"Forget it, the Slytherin wizards are so enthusiastic that I can't accept it." Sivan sighed, jumped slightly, and sat on the railing next to Miranda.

"Actually, the winner of this duel should be you." He said to Miranda. "After all, the total amount of magic power in my body is still far behind yours, and my level of spell casting is not as high as yours. I shouldn't have won the final victory."

Miranda smiled and did not answer Xiwen's question. Instead, she asked: "Didn't you come to duel with me to test your strength? Now that the duel is over, how do you feel?"

"It seems that my strength is still good." Xiwen said with a smile. "After all, being able to fight against the author of the Book of Spells without losing. How can this be better than most wizards in the magic world?"

"Then I thank you for the compliment!" Miranda said casually. "With what you said, I feel relieved about my own strength."

There was silence between the two.

Because of the cold weather, the white air exhaled from Xiwen and Miranda's mouths and noses continued to flow out, adding a little fluctuation to the air.

"After Christmas, I will officially go to the other side of the strait to join the coalition fighting against the Witch Party, and also look for the future of the Magic Road there." After a long silence, Miranda suddenly said.

Xiwen's eyes fluctuated and he glanced at Miranda.

"Then let's work hard together!" Xiwen thought for a while and said with a smile. "I will also go to the other side of the Taiwan Strait at Christmas. I hope we can all have good luck."

"What are you going to do on the other side, Sivan?" Miranda looked at him doubtfully and asked.

"I'm going to...use my own power to change the pattern of this world!"

Xiwen looked up at the dim sky, his eyes and voice gradually becoming firmer.

A flash of lightning flashed across the thick clouds, lighting up half of the sky, followed by pouring rain.

Heaven has changed!
