The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Are you ready?" Abernathy asked expressionlessly.

"Not yet, wait a moment."

Tom said, put away his wand again, and began to move his body...

Abernathy was a little surprised. He thought Tom would say he was ready.

Unexpectedly, this guy was actually warming up in front of him? Tsk, these two guys are really crazy!

In fact, Tom had no intention of provoking again. He was just trying his best to calm down his nervousness and timidity...

Only in this way can he remain calm in battle.

Since this battle is inevitable, then... we have no choice but to give it our all.

Tom... just imagine how Dumbledore would fight! Just imagine... how Levitra would face his enemies!

"No matter how much you prepare, it's just that. The battle can be over in seconds. Why waste time?" Abernethy sneered expressionlessly.

He admitted that Li Weide was indeed capable, but Tom? He was just a slightly stronger student.

But students are just students after all, no matter how strong they are, there are limits. After all, there is only one special case like Li Weide!

Tom did not respond to Abernathy's ridicule, but obediently completed a full set of warm-up exercises.

By the time he stood up again and took out his wand, his emotions had completely calmed down.

Li Weide grinned. It must be said that Tom was a very capable kid since he was young. He calmed down so quickly!

Grindelwald on the opposite side also looked at Tom with admiration.

In fact, it is remarkable that a young wizard of this age can stand firm without shaking when facing such a powerful opponent.

But Tom was able to calm down again. I have to say, he is indeed a talent...

When he grows up, perhaps his achievements will not be inferior to his and Dumbledore's!

"What a pity... I just hope you won't become my enemy, Tom." Grindelwald thought secretly in his heart.

"All right," said Tom.

Abernethy looked at Grindelwald.

"I'll count down to three, and then you begin," said Grindelwald.

"Three, two, one..."

"Swoosh!" Abernathy's casting speed was terrifyingly fast.

Even though Tom had gone through so much special training, he only had time to make the most basic defense!

"bump!"

The spell shattered Tom's incomplete armor charm in the blink of an eye.

Before Tom's hand holding the wand recovered from the paralysis, the second spell came to him again!

The opponent launched wave after wave of attacks, leaving Tom no chance to breathe.

For a moment, Tom felt a familiar sense of despair... The last time he felt this kind of despair was in the meditation basin that Li Weide built for him!

At the moment when the painful memories flooded into his mind, Tom suddenly felt his heart calmer than ever before!

Despair? He had experienced despair countless times in the Pensieve!

I remember it now...I remember it all, that’s the feeling!

In comparison, the pressure brought to him by this battle which is not a life-and-death duel is simply not worth mentioning!

Tom's eyes looked different.

Facing Abernathy's next attack spell, Tom no longer passively defended... but waved his wand and attacked directly!

"bump!"

The two spells suddenly collided in the air!

Before, Abernathy's spell could make his hands numb, but now, Tom no longer felt that way!

There is only one reason that can cause this effect, and that is that the power of his spell has been sufficiently enhanced!

"Well done, Tom...keep your focus and mindset!" Li Weide couldn't help but say happily.

Emotions influence the power of spells! The essence of magic is subjective! The value of this statement continues to grow!

After hearing what Li Weide said, Tom knew that his idea was right. For a moment, his confidence, which was originally lacking, suddenly became full!

Are you going on the defensive because you're afraid you can't stop my spell? What the hell is the point of that?

Your spell is powerful, but isn’t mine powerful too?

The best defense is offense!

Still laughing at me? Aren't you just older? I'll beat you to death!

As the spell passed, Tom felt his blood boiling.

The emotions also gradually changed from cautious and calm to crazy and angry!

What followed was a huge increase in the power of his spells...

Tom died many times in the Pensieve, gaining a huge amount of combat experience.

At this moment, after letting go of his mindset, he actually burst out with his full fighting power...

His confidence was unparalleled. No matter what spell Abernathy used, he was confident that he could fight him.

Of course, if it had been a life-or-death struggle, Tom would have been dead.

Because Abernethy wanted to be "cautious", he did not dare to use many deadly or seriously injure magic.

So, under Tom's full-force outburst, which was like a venting of anger, Abernethy actually felt a sense of frustration, as if he had the strength but couldn't use it...

Tom had no time to think about it now. He just kept waving his wand and launching his most violent attack.

Levid and Grindelwald stood aside tacitly without saying anything.

They all saw a little bit.

That is, as long as Tom continues to fight like this, no matter what the outcome is, Tom's state of mind will be transformed!

Abernathy had unknowingly become Tom's whetstone...

Now, they are waiting to see when Tom will understand his current state and calmly use the amplification brought by this state.

As long as he did this, Tom would never feel fear when fighting in the future.

Chapter 419: I don’t need the Elder Wand to deal with you

Tom felt that he was getting better and better at playing, and for a moment he even felt that he might win.

However, Abernathy is, after all, a wizard with rich combat experience.

Tom's initial tenacity did surprise him, but it was only a brief surprise.

After the initial surprise, Abernethy quickly adjusted.

For an elite Wuka party member with combat experience, does it mean that he cannot fight without a powerful spell?

of course not!

In battle, no matter if it is a powerful spell or an ordinary spell, the ultimate goal is to hit the opponent!

When it comes to hitting the opponent, the power of the spell actually doesn’t have much to do with it!

In previous battles, which enemy he encountered didn't have some powerful magic?

Didn't he defeat them all?

So, after being surprised, Abernethy quickly adjusted himself.

Tom, who had been doing well, suddenly felt tremendous pressure again.

Unlike the initial pressure that came from the power of the opponent's spells, this time the pressure comes from the enemy's spellcasting skills!

Now Tom is attacking instead of defending!

Every time Abernathy cast a spell, Tom almost countered it with another spell...

But now, he suddenly found that it was becoming increasingly difficult for his own spell to counteract Abernathy's spell!

Tom, who could originally stand still and attack, had to start dodging!

Because he found that Abernethy's offense actually contained a lot of fake moves!

Sometimes Tom thought the opponent had cast a spell, but when he tried to block it, he found that his spell had missed because the opponent was just feinting!

As the spell flew in vain, Abernathy's real attack arrived, and Tom could only dodge...

As a result, Tom's offense and defense were no longer smooth!

Soon, the situation that seemed to be evenly matched with Abernethy changed completely, and Abernethy was overwhelmingly suppressing Tom.

Tom dodged more and more, counterattacked less and less, and his responses became more and more panicked.

If this continues, he will be defeated soon...

Because he had completely fallen into his opponent's rhythm...or rather, he had never escaped Abernathy's fighting rhythm from beginning to end.

At this time, Levid and Grindelwald were looking at Tom, and they both hoped that Tom could calm down.

This way, at least the loss won't be too ugly.

Suddenly, Tom, who had been suppressed, launched more counterattacks, each one more fierce than the last...

Grindelwald uttered a soft "hmm", not knowing what was going on.

Because logically speaking, even if Tom calmed down, it would be impossible for him to achieve this level immediately.

But Li Weide, who was standing by, saw the problem...

Because Tom used the power of the ring...which was the power of the probability glasses.

Li Wei De had already sewn the function of probability glasses into the Hydra ring.

Now that Tom is using the ring, it's like... cheating.

In this way, Tom, who had received sufficient combat tips, could naturally see through Abernathy's feints.

However, Li Weide didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Equipment is manufactured to be used.

Moreover, Tom was calm enough to remember that he had such equipment at this time.

Besides, he wasn't as strong as Abernathy to begin with, so the fact that he could hold on until now was already a remarkable thing.

At this time, Abernethy was also full of surprise and confusion. He originally thought that he could kill the boy in front of him in seconds.

As a result, he has been entangled with me until now...

Now we were about to defeat him, but for some unknown reason he became difficult to deal with again.

Originally, a little fake move could fool Tom, but now... this kid is not fooled at all!

At this time, with the help of the ring, Tom had completely calmed down.

With the help of the ring, Tom no longer needs to identify the opponent's fake moves by himself.

Therefore, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have the opportunity to observe the opponent's fighting skills!

Yes, he is now learning Abernathy's fighting skills!

That gorgeous and practical action is exactly what Tom lacks now!

Abernathy felt the fight was getting more and more awkward... The opponent was like an indestructible cockroach. Every time he was about to push him to the brink of defeat, he would always stand up again at the last moment...

And... I don't know what happened, but this kid's attack method changed later!

The originally straightforward attacks are gradually becoming more varied!

He could even see feints similar to his own!

"Tom is such a genius..." Grindelwald exclaimed.

He didn't know about the ring. In his eyes, Tom had survived until now entirely by relying on his own abilities!
