The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"But he will still lose." Li Weide shook his head.

Grindelwald did not refute this point of view because he also thought so.

Sure enough, Abernathy was an experienced witch. After feeling awkward for a while, he finally discovered that there was always a moment's lag when Tom responded to his attacks.

This is also the biggest disadvantage of the ring.

From the moment the ring gives the prompt to the moment Tom reacts and takes action, no matter how fast Tom's movements and reactions are, they are always a little slower!

As a result, Abernathy's attack speed suddenly increased!

Abernethy, giving it his all, cast his spells incredibly fast.

A slight shake of the wand casts three spells...

The sudden increase in attack speed once again broke down Tom's defense system...

The sudden acceleration left Tom completely unable to react.

After holding on for another ten seconds...

"Snapped!"

The wand in Tom's hand fell into Abernathy's.

Tom ultimately loses, but because of his efforts, the lesson Abernathy intended to teach him also fails.

In other words, Tom lost with honor and in a very beautiful way.

Abernathy looked at Grindelwald uncomfortably... With his ability, he should have won by beating up a little brat, but being entangled by the other party for so long... was totally inappropriate!

However, Grindelwald just looked at him with a gentle gaze. "Well done, Abernathy. You faithfully carried out my orders. Tom was also remarkable."

Abernathy breathed a sigh of relief and handed the wand back to Tom.

Li Wei De watched Grindelwald's show from the side, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

I have to say that this old guy has achieved his current success and gained the loyalty of so many people. He is quite capable.

His subordinates lost face, but he claimed that they were perfectly carrying out his orders...

With just one sentence, he saved both his subordinates and his own face.

'It's not your fault. I told you to add the water, and you did it right!'

It’s true that every word he said would not make his subordinates feel disheartened!

Li Weide silently memorized this little trick to win people's hearts.

"Tom, I told you you could do it." Li Weide said with a smile.

"But I lost..." Tom looked gloomy.

Opened, but still lost...

This was something the proud Tom could not accept for a while.

"Tom, the most important thing is not winning or losing, but what you learned from this battle." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom was startled for a moment, then his dim eyes immediately brightened up again.

It has to be said that this battle did benefit him a lot.

While opponents in the Pensieve are also powerful, all reactions and spells of opponents in the Pensieve remain constant.

But Abernethy is different. He can adjust his playing style at any time according to Tom's changes!

This is also the most critical reason for Tom's defeat!

When Tom began to review the previous battle in his mind because of Levid's words, Grindelwald next to him looked at Levid with a complicated look.

I have to say, even though this kid hasn't fully grown up yet, he's already a formidable opponent...

When he first met Tom, Tom was just a timid and weak first-grade wizard.

But now, Tom has been able to fight with Abernathy, the strongest of his men, to this extent.

There is no doubt that this is inseparable from Li Weide's guidance to Tom!

Just now, for example, when Tom was still immersed in his failure, Li Weide reminded him not to dwell on it, but to remember the experience...

If Li Weide hadn't reminded him, Tom would probably have been silent for several days before he remembered this.

By that time, as his memories fade, Tom will have gained much less than he does now!

Besides Tom, how many other students have received guidance from Li Weide?

I believe that before long, he will have a fighting force under his command that is as powerful as the Wushu Party...

At this moment, Grindelwald finally figured it out.

A Li Weide like this... is destined to never become his subordinate.

Because such an outstanding person would never get used to having someone above him!

"Ved...now, is it our turn?" Grindelwald said slowly.

"Of course. It's my honor to practice with Mr. Director." Li Weide said with a smile.

Abernathy and Tom quickly stepped aside.

Grindelwald stood in the center of the venue with a black wand in his hand.

Ever since his old wand was taken away by Dumbledore, he had to get a new one...

But to Grindelwald's surprise, Levid, who was standing opposite him, was not holding the Elder Wand, but another half-worn wand.

Levid seemed to understand Grindelwald's confusion and smiled, "It's just a sparring match. There's no need to use the Elder Wand."

Grindelwald was so angry that he laughed. This kid actually thought it was unfair for him to fight him with the Elder Wand!

Not only does he not use the Elder Wand, but he actually holds an old wand?

Is the old wand still good enough? Practicing with yourself with a wand that isn't good enough... that's just putting yourself down!

Madness!

"Come on, let me see how much you've grown in these few years..."

Chapter 420 Tom: When I was fourteen, I stood aside like a minion

When the two of them stood still, the distance between them was ten meters.

At this point, Tom and Abernathy couldn't help but take several steps back again.

This is an intuition...an intuition that makes them feel the most direct sense of crisis!

They suddenly felt that the current viewing distance seemed... still not that safe?

"Stay back a little, Tom," said Livid.

"Better find cover, Abernethy," Grindelwald added.

Abernathy and Tom couldn't help but look at each other, and then Abernathy used Transfiguration to create a thick earth wall.

Tom took out a piece of "cloth" of unknown material from his pocket and covered the earth wall with it.

That's the skin of a basilisk, it can absorb most spells...

Only after both of them hid did Levid and Grindelwald look at each other again.

"Let's start..." Li Weide said.

Grindelwald smiled, and then...they both disappeared...

Yes, in the eyes of Tom and the others, the two people disappeared at the same time!

Only the roaring sounds in the air indicated that the battle between the two had begun...

"Snapped!"

With one final crisp sound, the two reappeared where they had just stood.

"Very good." Li Weide said excitedly.

"That's right." Grindelwald said calmly.

Tom couldn't help but widen his eyes. This battle... he seemed to be unable to understand it?

"They Apparated so quickly that it felt like they disappeared..." Abernethy said suddenly.

"Is that so..." Tom's pupils trembled violently.

"Well... it was pretty much the same when Sir and Dumbledore were fighting..."

There was reverence in Abernathy's voice, and he looked at Li Weide as if he were a monster.

Tom suddenly remembered the battle in the Chamber of Secrets under Hogwarts.

At that time, the reason why Dumbledore and Grindelwald stood still and exchanged spells was entirely because Apparition was prohibited within the boundaries of Hogwarts.

He hadn't expected that once the Apparition was released, the battle between wizards of this level would be so terrifying...

Tsk, does that mean that Li Weide has also reached this point?

But... this is only natural...

Tom still remembers the day he conquered the basilisk, when he used those magic-seeing glasses to see Levid's magic...

It was also at that time that Tom first discovered the gap between himself and Li Weide.

He was so strong before, and now almost two years have passed. It is not surprising that Li Weide has reached this level.

Moreover, Li Weide loves alchemy and does research all day long...

You know, if he just took out a ring, he could allow an underage wizard like me to fight against an elite wizard party...

God knows what kind of equipment this guy is carrying that I have no idea about!

At this moment, Tom couldn't help but glance at Abernathy next to him...

There's no prohibition on Apparition here, and yet Abernathy didn't use it even once just now...

In other words, when he was fighting with this guy, he could be said to have let go of the Pacific Ocean!

Fortunately, I thought I was coping well before...

Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but clench his fists tightly...

Just when Tom was feeling unwilling, the battle started again.

"Whoosh!"

An invisible magical force rushed towards Grindelwald, but Grindelwald raised his wand lightly and the magic force dissipated.

"Transfiguration won't work on me."

Then, he used the same transformation technique in his backhand...

However, Grindelwald's Transfiguration spell also failed to work on Levid.

However, after this first round of testing, both sides had a general understanding of each other's capabilities...

Levid's strength truly shocked Grindelwald...

He now fully understood why Levitra became Dumbledore's favorite student.

Even if it were him, he would think so.

If... Li Weide could really join him, then he would really train Li Weide as his successor!

The kind of heir who can completely inherit everything from him!

While Grindelwald was shocked, Levid was also very surprised.

Because he discovered that Grindelwald is now even more powerful than before!

Without the Elder Wand, he's actually stronger? What the hell happened? Could this guy have had an epiphany like Dumbledore?

I can only say that magic is too idealistic. The sources of power are so different that it's really confusing...

"Swoosh!" Grindelwald raised his hand and a ball of thick black mist came out!

The black fog instantly formed into the shape of countless skulls, like countless evil spirits, and rushed towards Li Weide!

The range of the black fog was so large that it even covered behind Grindelwald, leaving Levid with almost no space to Apparate!
