Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 45 The Gryffindor Sword Saint!

"Watch out!" Nave shouted, and Ted's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out to be the Quirrell, which had been struck by four or five cutting curses and had its hind legs locked. It was thought to be dead!

The injury triggered its bestial instincts, and in its desperate struggle, it grabbed a dented piece of armor from the ground and threw it at the attacker.

The Quillohorn has well-developed forelimbs, similar to human hands, which allow it to grasp things. Ted overlooked this!

Neville, whose spells weren't working well and hadn't shown much effectiveness, snatched the longsword from the armored man behind him at this crucial moment and with a vertical slash, sent the shoulder armor that was about to smash into Jerry's head flying!

If that hits someone, they'll be bleeding profusely from a head injury!

Jerry covered his round ears and cried out in a slightly frightened voice, "Neville, thank you so much!"

However, the danger was not over. The unicorn suddenly put its hind legs together and used its long forelimbs for support as it charged forward like a pole vaulter!

Its body structure is unique. Its two long forelimbs were not used as "legs" and were not locked by the Leg-Locking Curse. So it suddenly leaped and charged towards Ted and the others in an unusual way!

Even the slope that had become smooth couldn't stop it!

It was as agile as a gibbon, reaching out to grab the stair railing and leaping more than two meters up in the blink of an eye, already close to the crowd!

"what!"

Suddenly, Neville roared and charged forward with his longsword in hand. At that moment, his heart was filled with courage, and all he could think about was blocking the monster and protecting his friends behind him!

At that moment, he was a warrior!

Ted also performed exceptionally well at this critical moment, shouting, "Iron Armor! Frost Armor!"

Almost instantly, two protective spells were cast on Na'vi: first an invisible barrier, then a thin ice shield...

"Click~"

"Pfft~"

The quill beetle's claws were blocked by the Frost Armor spell, but the cold air instead seeped into its arms, slowing its movements.

But it didn't matter anymore, because Neville's longsword had already pierced its heart!

This sword strike was so brilliant, straight, crisp, and fatal.

Neville used all his strength to thrust forward, striking precisely at the heart.

The unicorn didn't utter a sound, twitched once, and then... died.

Neville instinctively drew his longsword, striking the same armored, sword-wielding pose he always did, staring blankly at his friends: What happened? How did it die?!

Then look at the blood-stained longsword in your hand, hey?! This thing is much more useful than a magic wand!

……

Hermione consistently used Transfiguration on large amounts of white paper, sending paper butterflies to block the troll's vision and distract it. This prevented its walnut-sized brain from having the mental capacity to process anything else.

She deserves great credit.

But she was, after all, just a first-year witch with magic at level 1. In less than three minutes, she was already running out of energy.

"No, I can't take it anymore!" Hermione's nose was sweating, showing that she was really reaching her limit.

The paper butterflies that used to flutter around the modified giant's head have become much fewer, and they've started to fly stiffly and sluggishly.

"Use the Levitation Charm on its stick together!" Ted shouted.

After the Quirrellian's desperate counterattack, everyone became much more serious.

Battles are unlike any other; there is no room for carelessness.

Today, Professor Quirrell taught them a lesson through the Quirrell unicorn.

Now, everyone is trying to use the Levitation Charm on the giant club in the mutated troll's hand.

Neville and Jerry's levitation spell failed, but everyone else's succeeded.

The crisis forced everyone to grow. Even Ron, who had never succeeded in class before, managed to use it and now had a smile on his face.

In that instant, the giant monster, who was still swatting at the butterfly, suddenly felt his hand go empty; the giant club had slipped from his grasp and was floating in the sky.

The troll was even more confused: What happened? Who am I? Where am I?

Then, Ted seized the opportunity and fired an Frostbolt that accurately hit the back of its head. That was a real blow.

The modified giant's body immediately began to shake.

But it persists; it refuses to give up. Give it some time, and it will pull through!

However, the heavy, hardwood club fell from the sky and struck it precisely on the back of the head.

This final blow crushed the giant, causing it to collapse like a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade.

It seems Professor Quirrell couldn't get rid of the troll's weakness—the back of its head.

"Ding~ Defeat the Kiro Horned Beast, gain 150 experience points!"

"Ding~ Defeat the Spider Bug, gain 250 experience points!"

"Ding~ Defeat the modified giant monster, gain 450 experience points!"

"Ding~ Quest [Come Fight (Blue)] Completed, reward 500 experience points, summon card [Giant (Blue)]."

Gain experience from defeating monsters?!

Before Ted could even examine the newly acquired cards, he suddenly noticed something on the two fallen monsters.

Those are two glowing cards!

"You guys wait here, I'll go check it out," Ted said, and then slid down the sloping stairs.

He bypassed the modified giant that occupied half of the corridor, pretended to examine the spider insect's corpse, and casually picked up a card floating on the corpse, which was glowing with a faint green light.

Then, following the same method, he picked up a card that glowed white from the corpse of the Kirohorn.

"Both of those monsters are dead, but this strange giant is still alive," he said.

"Should we notify the professor?" Ron asked.

"I think we should run!" Jerry suggested.

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you guys think the professors would ask about the portrait and then find us?"

Well, after a thrilling adventure, they now face the threat of the professors.

Upon hearing that they were going to be caught, Navei immediately became frightened. "How about we turn ourselves in?"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Snape's sinister voice rang out from around the corner of the corridor not far away: "Longbottom, don't you think it's too late to turn yourself in now?"

Not only Snape, but also Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.

"Oh my god, what have you all done?"

Professor McGonagall wasn't one to jump to conclusions, but when she saw the plump, white Neville leaning on his blood-stained longsword, an unknown beast lying in a pool of blood not far away, a strange, enormous worm lying in a puddle of yellowish-green fluid, and a giant monster far exceeding normal size lying in the corridor, she was truly terrified!

Is this still the Hogwarts she knows?

When did this place become a battlefield?!

The group soon arrived at the landing at the corner of the stairs and saw that the stairs had turned into a ramp.

"Stop the spell!" Snape casually stopped Ted's slide spell.

"You defeated a giant?! And what are these two things?" Professor McGonagall's voice became shrill.

Ron and Jerry puffed out their chests as if they had heard some kind of praise.

However, Snape's sharp tongue rang out: "Ha! Arrogant Epiphanies and foolish Gryffindors, what stupid things have you done? Coming to a troll to commit suicide?!"

When Snape saw the mess, he was furious.

Ted even saw the flesh on his face trembling, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to use a highly skilled forgetting spell to turn them all into idiots.

At this moment, the leader stepped forward.

Harley said sincerely to the professors, "I'm sorry, professors, I've let you down. It's because of me, because of my companions, that we're in danger. I just wanted to... go to the bathroom. But I dragged Hermione along, and they came with me because they were worried I'd be in danger..."

Hermione immediately chimed in, "Yes, I suggested using the restroom here because it's less crowded. I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Wow, that's clever!

It's quite impressive to come up with the excuse of going to the toilet.

Although it's a bit of a stretch, it's still a good explanation.

The professors couldn't very well say anything to Ted and his friends who were worried about their companions' safety, could they? Nor could they say anything to the girls who needed to use the restroom, could they?

Muay Thai warning~~~

Ron and Jerry stared at the two girls in astonishment: "Don't you two ever think before you lie? And you, Hermione, do you even know what you're doing? You lied to the professor!"

Honestly, they were content as long as Hermione didn't expose them. They never expected her to team up with Harley to fool the professors.

What's this called? It's called "It's hard to learn good things, but easy to learn bad things in a flash!"

They've all been corrupted!

"Alright! Although your reasons are understandable, points will still be deducted!" Professor McGonagall glanced at the other two professors. "Gryffindor, deduct 50 points!"

She's really ruthless when it comes to her own people.

Professor Flitwick, naturally, couldn't show favoritism; "Ravenclaw loses 20 points!"

10 points per person.

Snape seemed very dissatisfied with this punishment.

He was practically ready to take action himself; the way he looked at Ted, Neville, and Ron was incredibly fierce.

It's like watching a thug who kidnaps his daughter to go swimming; it feels like he's about to unleash a barrage of electric shocks and flying kicks!

Thank you to reader "tail number 6956" for the 100 reward.
