Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 263 [Duel Livestream]

"put."

"There are many obstacles!"

"put."

"Boom!"

"put."

"Boom!"

The same scene keeps repeating itself.

Simo's mood gradually shifted from initial tension and excitement to calm and exhaustion.

"Okay."

After an unknown amount of time, Li Wei's command finally changed.

Simo lowered his arms with a sigh of relief—he had never been so tired.

Even in a duel, it wasn't this strenuous—basically, a dozen or so explosions would finish off the enemy.

Then he can take a break and relax during matchmaking and when heading to the duel room.

However, Professor Li Wei remained focused on casting spells—perhaps due to Li Wei's influence.

For the first time, Simo felt so focused. He even gradually realized Levi's intentions during the process.

It seems that his spells will be 'wrong' depending on his mood and physical condition.

Having attended Li Wei's classes for over a year, Simo gradually realized what he should do next.

As long as he can find a place to practice alone, like today. Well, given how easily he explodes, finding such a place isn't easy.

But now that Li Wei has found a solution, how could he just leave it unattended?

"From now on, you can come to this room to practice two days a week—you can choose the time yourself."

"Professor, you can make the decision!"

Simo looked at Li Wei with admiration—the professor was so considerate! He couldn't believe how fortunate it was to be a professor's student.

"How about Thursday at 2 PM and Saturday at 2 PM? You shouldn't have classes on Thursday afternoon, right?"

Simo nodded.

Li Wei nodded immediately and further analyzed:

"Judging from your expression, I suppose you've already realized it yourself."

Regarding controlling the explosion, once you experience the lethargic magical state of exhaustion more often and remember that feeling, you'll basically be able to control the spell from exploding.

Simo nodded repeatedly.

But Li Wei changed his tone and continued:

"But actually I don't need you to do this—or rather, you can't finish this in a short time, and you don't need to put in the effort to do it."

What you're going to do is something else—which is what I'm officially going to teach you today—the Thunder Explosion.

Without turning his head, Li Wei waved his wand to the side—the next moment, more than a dozen neatly arranged magic targets seemed to have their inner nature altered, and they all exploded at once!
Simo stared wide-eyed at the scene, his mouth agape involuntarily.

Before witnessing this scene, he genuinely believed that his explosive talent, like Harry's talent for the Disarming Charm, was unmatched.
But Professor Li Wei's casual use of a thunderous explosion produced such a terrifying effect.
Is this all the best professor can do?
Any spell he uses can produce extraordinary effects, something even someone with his talent can't match? "What, are you surprised?" Li Wei chuckled. "It's been a while since you used this spell. Looks like you haven't forgotten what you practiced before."

"Practice?" Seamus noticed the implication in his words and asked curiously, "Professor, have you pondered this spell before?"

"Of course, I've studied all the spells—just like I taught you, starting with the simplest basic spell casting."

"Alright, there's nothing to talk about in the past—you've taken my classes, so of course you know that the goal is to achieve it step by step, right?"

There's no need to lose confidence, or try to achieve too much too quickly.

Your current goal is simply to achieve this level using the Chain Explosion spell.

"Next, I will formally teach you Thunder Explosion—to be honest, I'm also a little curious about how the power of this spell compares to other spells when you use it normally."

"Professor Li Wei, thank you very much for your guidance today!"

An hour later, Simo, with his arm too heavy to lift, bowed to Li Wei and left.

Li Wei waved goodbye to Simo and sat back down at his desk to write down his plans.

In less than a month since its launch, the Duel Tower has become the most popular attraction at Hogwarts.

What's even more encouraging is that at least a thousand battles have taken place over the past three weeks, but none of them have gone wrong.

The worst injury the little wizard suffered was a lacerated thigh that bled profusely.

But in the eyes of both professors and students' parents, it was no different from being bitten by a mosquito.

Li Wei also realized once again how wild the wizarding world's education of children could be.

That's true; after all, even if someone suffers a concussion during a Quidditch match, Mrs. Pomfrey is the only one who treats them, and the parents have no objections.

They observed the situation for a while until the basilisk incident started killing people, and only erupted after the petrification phenomenon occurred several times.
Therefore, it was quite normal that a large number of letters began to arrive from owls, representing requests from parents or the wizarding world to watch the students duel.
These people, including the professors and even the students at the school, seemed to regard this as an activity comparable to Quidditch.

But what Li Wei found even more puzzling was...

Although he considered Quidditch a meaningless, flawed, and extremely dangerous sport, dueling still couldn't compare to Quidditch in the hearts of Hogwarts' teachers and students.
However, it's not entirely inferior.

When Quidditch selects its players, there are always students who are interested in the sport but are excluded from the selection process because they lack the talent.

But the duel is fair.

With the Duel Tower in existence, all students no longer need to fear detention or academic penalties, and can freely and safely enjoy the fun of dueling.

Aside from exceptionally kind-hearted students like Neville, virtually no student would refuse the pleasure of dueling.

After the safety hazards were resolved and verified, Professor McGonagall completely removed the last layer of restrictions.

She strongly encouraged and praised Levi, and both she and Flitwick hoped that Levi would continue to do more.

Professor Flitwick, in particular, would take time every few days to discuss optimizations of the Duel Tower with Levi, offering suggestions that he believed might help with duels.

Li Wei realized once again how much this respectable professor loved dueling, but had deliberately forgotten his past honors and passion for the sake of teaching.

"Hogwarts, look what you've done! You've turned the enthusiastic dueling champion into a bull and a horse professor!"

Li Wei chuckled as he recalled Professor Flitwick waving his arms and jumping around during their conversation.

On the parchment, he had already written down the measures that, after communicating with Professor Flitwick, he believed would be most helpful in further enhancing the atmosphere of the duel.
