Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 90 The Shock of a Self-Created Spell! Duel Title - King of Light!

At this moment, Ron, who was running through the crowd, was also turning pale and then flushed.

From the first time he met Ciel, he didn't have a good impression of him, and later he repeatedly told Harry and Hermione behind their backs that Ciel might not be that great at all.

As a result, Shire has now achieved results that have amazed even Professor McGonagall, the headmaster of Gryffindor.

This isn't over yet?

Ron subconsciously reassured himself.

"He might just be good at Transfiguration, but he couldn't possibly be that proficient in Charms as well."

"Besides, Professor Flitwick may be small in stature, but he's said to be a dueling champion."

"A first-year wizard would definitely be defeated in no time if he fought Professor Flitwick's spell duel."

But even when Hermione was out of breath from running beside Ron, her tone remained remarkably confident.

"impossible."

"I know Charles Evans too well."

"When I first met him, I also thought that what he wanted to do was impossible, but as it turns out, he succeeded every time."

"So I'm sure he never does anything he's not confident about, and I'm even more certain of that than I am of his own intelligence."

"Nothing is impossible for him; he has always been creating miracles."

Ron's face turned even paler.

"A miracle?"

"There's only one miracle in the wizarding world, and that's Harry!"

Harry, standing to the side, felt awkward and quickly changed the subject.

"Look, there's a huge crowd gathered in the spell classroom up ahead!"

Ron and Hermione looked ahead and, sure enough, found the area in front of them packed with people.

Just as newcomers like them were worried about not being able to see what was happening inside the classroom, the desks and chairs in the classroom flew up one after another, layer upon layer, and under the effect of transformation magic, they created a arena for people to stand on.

On one side of the arena stood Ciel, wielding a mithril wand, and on the other side stood Professor Flitwick, the headmaster of Ravenclaw School.

Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up with amazement.

"Beautiful transformation. No wonder I heard from the students that Minerva actually approved your application for exemption from classes."

Charles also exclaimed in admiration.

"The professor's levitation spell was also quite impressive. Such a large-scale, multi-target levitation, and all of them were floating at the same height. Amazing."

Professor Flitwick chuckled.

"Alright, Ciel, let's stop with the mutual flattery."

"I admit your Transfiguration is impressive, but you're asking me for a free pass to Charms, so I won't be interested in your Transfiguration skills."

"You need to let me see how well you've mastered magic. Transfiguration isn't within the scope of my assessment."

A burning light gradually appeared in Charles's eyes.

"I'd also like to see just how far Professor Flitwick, as the Hogwarts Charms professor and supposedly a dueling champion for over ten years, can wield spells."

Charles's words were not unfounded.

Professor Flitwick, who doesn't have a large role in the original books, is definitely in the top tier of strength, below Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald.

Dolokhov, an elite Death Eater who was able to kill Lupin in a duel, was also easily killed by Professor Flitwick in a duel, which shows that his strength is far superior to that of Lupin, a core member of the Order of the Phoenix.

The previous Transfiguration duel with Professor McGonagall provided Shire with a lot of Transfiguration material.

Compared to Transfiguration, Ciel is undoubtedly much weaker in terms of spells.

Aside from his exceptional mastery of the Glowing Charm and a few holy spells, he only had a superficial understanding of other spells.

Gathering some material from Professor Flitwick will be enough to significantly reduce the number of points Ciel needs to deduce these spells later.

At this moment, Professor Flitwick and Charles exchanged a dueling salute, and then the professor signaled to Charles to make the first move.

Charles didn't overestimate himself and immediately cast the Stunning Spell he had learned from the spellbook.

Then, he drew a beautiful arc with his mithril wand and cast another disarming spell.

With his expertise in banishment spells and guardian spells, although he couldn't completely copy them, he could apply his knowledge by analogy, and these low-level spells were really not difficult to use. He used them with textbook-perfect accuracy.

Professor Flitwick exclaimed in surprise.

"Not bad, a standard spell."

"Many senior students are not as good as you. No wonder you dared to apply for exemption from the Spellcasting course."

However, speaking did not affect Professor Flitwick's spellcasting in the slightest.

He waved his wand without chanting a spell, yet an invisible wall of steel appeared, easily blocking Ciel's two spells.

Ciel's pupils contracted slightly.

"Silent spellcasting?"

He also knows this technique, but it's limited to the spells that Deep Blue deduced.

Furthermore, both silent casting and more advanced wandless casting have a drawback: while they are faster without incantations and wands, the power of the spells is significantly reduced.

Even so, Professor Flitwick's Ironclad Charm easily blocked the two spells that Ciel threw.

That only means that, in Professor Flitwick's view, the level of skill demonstrated by Shire's two spells was something he could easily handle.

Sure enough, Professor Flitwick then smiled and said...

"But if that's all there is to it, then the matter of exempting you from classes is out of the question, Ciel."

Immediately, he waved his wand repeatedly, and spells rained down on Charles like a storm.

Since there was no sound of incantations being chanted, Ciel had no way of knowing what these spells were.

Moreover, Professor Flitwick's spellcasting speed was too fast, with spells coming one after another. Even if Ciel could figure it out, he wouldn't have time to cast the corresponding counterspells for all of them.

Fortunately, Charles's mastery of the Iron Armor Spell was also quite profound. After all, he had already deduced the Dragon Armor Spell, so the ordinary Iron Armor Spell would naturally be even more powerful.

With the same silent casting of spells, an invisible barrier, even more resilient than the one cast by Professor Flitwick, stood erect, blocking the incoming spell.

This time, Professor Flitwick was clearly taken aback.

"Silently unleashing the Ironclad Spell?"

"The intensity is still this high?"

"Good heavens, Ciel, that was absolutely brilliant! Ninety-nine percent of the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic aren't as good as you!"

Then, a serious expression appeared on his face, along with a hint of excitement.

"In that case, I can't underestimate you. I'll have to get serious then."

"Come on, let me see where your limits are."

Then, Professor Flitwick fell completely silent, and only his rapid chanting could be heard on the ring.

One after another, spells far more powerful than before roared in, causing sparks to fly from Xiaer's Iron Armor Spell.

Under such a dense barrage of spells, the Silent Armor Spell was clearly no longer sufficient.

Charles held his breath and gave a low shout.

"Armor for protection!"

An even thicker barrier rose up.

But under Professor Flitwick's relentless, almost magical, onslaught, the Ironclad Charm soon began to crumble.

As Charles watched these colorful spells being gradually suppressed in a corner of the arena, he realized that they were being suppressed.

However, his face showed no anxiety, but rather a look of joy.

As Professor Flitwick cast his spell, Deep Blue kept sending notifications, much like a screen-filling notification.

"The host has obtained materials for the Stun Spell, and the points required for subsequent deductions have decreased."

"The host has obtained materials for the Decomposition Spell, and the points required for subsequent deductions have decreased."

"..."

Charles simply stopped retaliating and focused on casting the Ironclad Charm to see how many tricks Professor Flitwick had up his sleeve.

In terms of the situation, this naturally puts them at a significant disadvantage.

The Hogwarts students who came to watch the spectacle were all mesmerized by Professor Flitwick's magical performance.

"Professor Flitwick is really amazing."

"There are almost no two spells that are the same, and the casting speed is too fast. The power of the spells is also terrifying."

"Aside from making two moves at the beginning, Charles is now completely suppressed and can only defend with Ironclad Charms. He has no room to breathe at all."

The young Ravenclaw wizards were very proud of this, after all, it was their Ravenclaw headmaster.

Ron, standing in the crowd, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Hermione and Harry beside him.

"See, I told you so. Ciel is probably only good at Transfiguration. His application for exemption from Conjuration is about to fail."

"Hermione, Shire isn't as amazing as you make him out to be."

Hermione remained silent, her gaze fixed firmly on the Ciel.

At this point, Professor Flitwick, who had completely gained the upper hand, joked.

"Charles, your use of the Ironclad Spell was truly beautiful."

"However, the other spells are too commonplace. Such specialization will inevitably lead to my being relegated to a different subject."

"But based on your Ironclad Curse alone, I'm going to give Hufflepuff a hundred points."

Charles smiled.

From now until now, he has gathered dozens of materials about Professor Flitwick!

Although he might not be able to use all of these spells, their value is immeasurable, and he really had a blast.

At this moment, Charles also admitted to Professor Flitwick's teasing.

"Indeed, my other spells are pretty ordinary. I haven't practiced them much. I just looked them up in the spellbook and used them casually."

"I haven't studied many spells in detail. The Ironclad Charm is one, and the Glowing Charm is another one that I can use."

"Professor, then please give me some pointers."

Upon hearing Shire's words, not only Professor Flitwick but also the Hogwarts students watching were stunned.

Then, a sour feeling welled up in my heart.

The Stunning Charm and Disarming Charm that Ciel used before were things that 90% of the people present couldn't use, and they weren't even written in textbooks.

Even so, Ciel claimed that he had only glanced at the spellbook and used it casually, without having studied it in detail.

Is this the difference between people?

However, when they heard Ciel mention that he also had a signature spell, the Glowing Spell, everyone was filled with doubt.

The Glowing Charm is the lowest level of magic.

Even among first-year wizards who have just taken their first Charms class, nearly half are already able to successfully cast the Glowing Charm.

Ciel said he had specifically studied this curse.

What's there to study about this?

They actually need Professor Flitwick's guidance?

Professor Flitwick became curious and toned down the frequency of his spell attacks, gesturing for Charles to demonstrate his glowing spell to him.

The next moment, Charles raised his hand, and a beam of light as dazzling as the sun poured out from the tip of his wand.

This was a Flash Charm that he hadn't used in a long time.

When the Flash Charm was first deduced, although it truly lived up to its name as being like a flashbang, it was far less dazzling than this time.

However, as the Glowing Charm evolved, spells such as Eternal Sun, Edge of Night, and Sun Without Light appeared, and the Glowing Charm also grew stronger with the feedback.

More importantly, Ciel's recent mental transformation has greatly enhanced his ability to use even a basic spell like the Flash Charm.

All these factors combined to create this dazzling light, as radiant as the sun.

Aside from Professor Flitwick, who reacted with lightning speed and immediately created a dark area, everyone inside and outside the Charms classroom was instantly plunged into complete darkness, unable to see what had happened.

Professor Flitwick couldn't help but repeatedly express his admiration.

"Is this a new spell derived from the Glowing Charm?"

"It's amazing that it can radiate the light of the Glowing Charm to such an extent, creating a flashing effect."

"Sharl, your mastery of the Fluorescent Spell is truly profound."

At that moment, a strange smile appeared on Charles's lips.

"Yeah?"

"Professor, your praise might be a bit premature."

Immediately, he swung his mithril wand again, and a laser spell was cast.

The thin beam of light contained the power to cut through gold and jade, and it was further enhanced by Ciel's spiritual transformation.

A dense network of laser beams coalesced and enveloped Professor Flitwick.

Wherever the laser net passed, the resulting arena floor was cut into neat squares, causing Professor Flitwick to look solemn.

He waved his wand like the wind and let out a low growl.

"Armor Protection - Triple Casting!"

The next moment, three invisible barriers appeared instantly in front of Professor Flitwick, blocking the laser spell that Charles unleashed.

At this moment, Professor Flitwick's expression went beyond mere admiration; he could no longer hide the shock on his face.

He thought that modifying the Glowing Charm into the Flash Charm was already Ciel's limit.

Judging from this alone, and considering Ciel's previous mastery of the Ironclad Charm, Professor Flitwick could have already agreed to exempt Ciel from attending class.

But he never expected that the Flash Charm was not the limit of Xia Er's abilities, and that he had even developed a lethal spell beyond that.

The magnitude of this leap is truly immeasurable!

Professor Flitwick felt that this achievement alone was enough to warrant publishing a top-tier paper in the wizarding world.

Seeing that Charles seemed eager to try, Professor Flitwick quickly called for a halt.

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

He said, half-jokingly.

"If you keep fighting like this, I'm afraid you might just pull out a Sun Spell and accidentally hurt the students nearby."

"Charles, you don't need to attend my classes anymore. If you have any questions about spells, just come to my office and we can discuss them."

At this moment, the young Hogwarts wizards on the side recovered from the complete whiteness of their vision caused by the Flash Charm.

Upon hearing Professor Flitwick's words, everyone looked bewildered.

What happened?

Didn't they just see Professor Flitwick suppressing Ciel? How come Professor Flitwick stopped fighting after that flash?

What exactly did Ciel do?

By this time, Professor Flitwick and Charles had already performed the rites to end their duel.

Professor Flitwick looked at Charles, his mind filled with mixed emotions.

"You've truly become the first person I've ever seen to have mastered the Glowing Charm to this extent."

"Those two spells you just used, were they created from the Glowing Charm? What are their names?"

Charles nodded.

"One is called the Flash Charm, and the other is called the Laser Charm."

Professor Flitwick patted Charles on the shoulder.

"To have created two spells at such a young age, one of which is a powerful and destructive spell, Charles, you are indeed the strongest genius I have ever seen."

He paused, then said with absolute certainty.

"At your age, Headmaster Dumbledore is far from being a suitable candidate..."

These words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone watching speechless.

"A self-created... spell?"

"Aren't spells written in textbooks? How can you create your own?!"

Some of the more knowledgeable Ravenclaw students were whispering amongst themselves.

"Of course, spells can be created. For example, the most famous Killing Curse was created by a mysterious person."

"The creators of the other spells can also be found."

"But what is certain is that creating spells is by no means easy. Even the seemingly insignificant glowing spell has its creators recorded in the history of magic for their deeds."

"..."

Their words left everyone present feeling completely bewildered.

"So, just the two self-created spells that Charles used today are enough to make him a legend in magical history, and twice at that?!"

"Holy crap, is the difference between people this huge?"

"We're still learning magic from textbooks, and Ciel's already creating his own spells?!"

In addition, Professor Flitwick himself said that the Shire's talent was the strongest he had ever seen, and even asserted that Dumbledore was far inferior to the Shire in his day.

These words shocked everyone present.

Previously, everyone was just speculating that perhaps Shire would be the greatest genius in Hogwarts history.

However, when compared to Headmaster Dumbledore, most people still believe that Dumbledore is the most talented.

But now that Professor Flitwick has said this, it is undoubtedly much more credible, and it can be considered a definitive conclusion.

Shire's talent indeed surpasses Dumbledore's; he truly deserves the title of the greatest genius in Hogwarts history!

At this moment, Professor Flitwick seemed to remember something and said to Charles.

"Charles, your dueling skills are quite good; you're qualified to join the British Wizards' Dueling Club."

"Perfect timing! As the honorary chairman of the club, I invite you to join us."

Charles was taken aback for a moment, but readily accepted it.

The wizards in the Duel Club are probably all strong in one-on-one combat. By registering there, he might be able to come into contact with some unusual magic, so Ciel naturally wouldn't refuse.

When Flitwick saw that Charles agreed, he smiled and clapped.

"Then I'll give myself a nickname. It has to be something powerful, like my nickname in the club, which is King of Gale, because my spells are as swift and fierce as a gust of wind."

"There is also a wizard who is skilled in using a wand in conjunction with a longsword, nicknamed the King of Blades."

"What kind of name would you give yourself?"

Charles pondered for a moment.

He didn't want his nickname to reveal too much about him; it was better to focus people on what he had already shown and ignore what he had hidden.

Immediately afterwards, Charles said something.

"I'd better keep it low-key, I'll just call you..."

"The King of Fireflies?"
