Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

I see. No wonder this psychopath came out today without my little brother. Turns out he had other plans.

I just wonder how Neil would feel if he knew that Abby turned around and tried to hook up with him as soon as he left?

"Okay, don't cry, baby. I'll go teach them a lesson and let you vent your anger." Neil patted Abby on the back, turned around and slowly walked towards Ethan. "You...if I remember correctly, your name is Ethan, right?"

"That's right. I'm Ethan. What can I do for you?" Ethan replied calmly. He wanted to point at himself with his thumb to enhance his momentum, but considering that this was not auspicious, he gave up.

"Very good, Ethan..." Neil nodded slowly and gave an ugly smile to Ethan and Alanna behind him, "Ah, and you, little mudblood."

"Follow me, Alanna." Ethan took two steps back, standing closely behind Alanna, stretching out his right hand to protect her, and staring vigilantly at Neil who might go berserk at any time.

From the moment Neil appeared here, all the plans he had made to divert attention were no longer useful. As long as he was not blind, it was almost inevitable that he would find out that there was some kind of close relationship between him and Alanna.

And at this time, he certainly couldn't pretend to be a stranger to Alanna. In this case, there was no need to continue to pretend, and he should show his relationship openly. At least this way he could protect her from a close distance.

"I see." Neil looked at Alanna, then at Ethan, as if he understood something, and the smile on his face became more and more creepy. "I just found it strange that the little mudblood should have been depressed, but he is very happy recently. It turns out it's because of you!"

"How dare you call her that again?" Ethan dropped the sneer on his face and stared at Neil with a cold look in his eyes.

"Oh my, you feel bad already? It seems like you have a pretty good relationship with her?" Neil clapped his hands twice perfunctorily, praising her hypocritically, and then made a gesture of wiping her neck, "I wonder if she would be so sad that she would cry if I beat you to your knees in front of her?"

"Then you can try and see who gets beaten down." Ethan's momentum became fiercer. He leaned forward slightly, took a half step forward with his left foot, raised the middle finger of his left hand and hooked it at Neil, "Come here!"

"You're looking for death!" Neil shouted angrily, and rushed towards Ethan with his arms swung.

For him, using the wand to cast the spell was not a good idea at this moment, because there were too many passers-by watching around, and there was a possibility that the wand would be checked by the Flashback Spell afterwards, making the evidence irreversible.

At the same time, his own magic level does not support him to use wandless spells, so it is better to teach the other party a lesson directly by punching and kicking. Afterwards, he can rely on the power of his family to get away with it. After all, the confession of passers-by can be used as perjury or threaten witnesses to make it invalid.

Moreover, he had beaten up many students he disliked before, so he was quite confident in his boxing skills.

However, this time, it was Ethan who was opposite him.

Ethan stood where he was, just looking at Neil who was rushing towards him like crazy with his arm raised almost straight, and smiled disdainfully.

This kind of fighting style with arms swung straight makes it difficult to exert the power of the body when exerting force, and secondly, the outstretched arms cannot be used for defense, and the torso will be exposed to the enemy, which will clearly allow the opponent to attack the weak point of your lower abdomen.

The classic little gangster's turtle punch.

In a word, vegetables.

"It's full of flaws." Ethan smacked his lips. Facing Neil who was rushing towards him, he neither dodged nor defended. When Neil rushed in front of him and swung his fist, he quickly raised his left hand to the outside of his body, put his forearm on Neil's wrist, and pushed it to the side, easily pushing Neil's fist aside.

Then Ethan suddenly dived down again, pulling his shoulders to the same level as Neil's ribs, avoiding Neil's backhand punch.

Then he put the fingers of his right hand together and stretched them into a palm, and slapped Neil's lower abdomen with force, causing Neil to take several steps back.

Neil braked and stood firm, covering his abdomen, looking down at his fist with a look of shock.

What happened just now? I threw a punch with all my strength, how could he have dodged it so easily? His movements looked very strange, was it some kind of special armor spell?

"You, if you have the ability, don't use magic!" Neil pointed his finger at Ethan, trying to provoke him, "If you are still a man, then put aside those dirty tricks and fight me fair and square!"

"Ah? Do you really need to use magic defense for the two hits you just made?" Ethan had an expression like an old man on the subway looking at his phone. He spread his hands and teased in a very comfortable way, "Your strength is not enough for me to warm up. Can you give me something more powerful?"

"You!" Rozier was provoked by Ethan and his blood immediately went to his brain. Without thinking too much, he raised his fist and attacked Ethan with all his strength again.

Seeing this, Ethan took two steps forward slowly, opened his left hand half into a claw, reached forward from bottom to top, tightly grasped the attacking right wrist, then raised his left hand and pulled it behind him, breaking Neil's balance, causing him to stumble and break his own offensive posture.

"Go!" Ethan kicked Neil's falling left chest steadily, and with more force on his leg and the perfect timing of his left hand, he kicked him back to Abby.

"Neil? Neil, are you okay?" Abby saw Neil lying on the ground injured, and hurried over to pretend to be concerned.

Now she has broken up with Ethan and the others, and she only has Neil to rely on. If Neil loses to Ethan again, she may be the next one to be beaten.

So we have to quickly pull Neil up and let him continue to be beaten. As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let me die. If he takes a few more punches, Ethan might calm down.

Neil saw that the person he liked cared so much about him, and thought that his spring had come. He jumped up as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and held Abby's hand and said affectionately: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Yeah, I know, but I'm still worried about you." Abby blinked pitifully and said coquettishly, "You must be careful."

"Don't worry, baby. I was just careless and didn't dodge just now. Next time, I'm going to use my real skills. I will make sure that Ethan will be defeated!" Neil patted his chest confidently and showed a sunny smile.

Ethan, who was not far away, stepped back in front of Alanna and looked at the flirting between the two people opposite with an amused look on his face.

These bold words sounded so true that I almost believed them.

Chapter 62 Today is another day of winning a wizard duel without using a wand

"Oh!"

Neil regrouped and rushed towards Ethan again like a mad dog.

"Alanna, step back for a moment, be careful not to get affected." Ethan turned sideways and warned with concern, then he threw a straight punch to the center of Neil's chest as he tried to launch a sneak attack, knocking him back.

The forehand straight punch can cure all the fancy things.

"Okay, be careful." Alana nodded slightly, turned around and retreated into the crowd.

Ethan felt relieved when he saw Alanna start to retreat, and turned back to continue this evenly matched (sure) battle.

Neil now has the love buff, and just one straight punch cannot make him retreat. He just took two steps back and then stabilized his body, leaning towards Ethan again and trying to hit him with a random punch attack so that he could not defend himself.

As the saying goes, as long as you punch without any plan, your opponent will not be able to see through your moves.

Facing Neil's barrage of punches, Ethan didn't even make any move to raise his hands to block. He just let his hands hang naturally on both sides of his waist, and with a few tiny sideways moves, he easily dodged Neil's continuous punches one by one, and in an almost show-off manner, he distanced himself from Neil, who was now swinging his punches randomly in a panic.

That’s right, showmanship.

This is also the reason why Ethan chose to fight with Neil until now instead of knocking him unconscious with one punch. He must make him clearly realize the gap in strength between the two.

If he was knocked out by just one punch from me, he would probably think that it was just a sneak attack from me, not that I was that powerful.

If I do that, I'm afraid he will keep pestering me and trying to make a comeback. It's better to let him give up on this idea once and for all.

As the saying goes, killing someone requires destroying their heart.

Ethan thought so, turned sideways and pushed Neil back with his left shoulder, then stretched out his left hand to grab Neil's wrist and pulled it back, dragging the retreating Neil in front of himself, turned sideways and hit Neil's ribs with his right arm with an elbow.

"Ugh!" Neil felt a sharp pain in his stomach, his eyes went dark and he almost lost consciousness, and his body went limp. This also meant that the initiative of this fight had completely fallen into Ethan's hands.

Ethan pulled Neil back again and gave him another side kick in the chest. Before Neil could step back, he pulled him back again and kneed him in the abdomen. After knocking him away, he pulled him back again. He then punched him straight, pulled him back, kicked him straight, pulled him back, uppercut him, pulled him back, elbowed him, pulled him back, and so on. He was having a lot of fun.

It's a repetitive cycle.

After repeating this for dozens of times, Ethan gave up his playfulness. After pulling Neil, who was almost unable to resist, to his side again, he did not choose to fight him off. Instead, he clenched his right fist and gently pressed it against Neil's lower abdomen.

"You...you're done..." After Ethan stopped his attack, Neil, who was able to catch his breath, finally came to his senses. He stared at Ethan with hatred in his eyes and said incoherently with his bloody mouth, "I...my father is the director of the Ministry of Magic, he, he..."

"He won't let me go. Right?" Ethan said lightly.

"...He won't let you go. What?" Neil's eyes widened. "How...why?"

"After all, you bastards all have the same way of saying harsh words. But thanks for the reminder." Ethan pulled up a terrifying smile that looked like a devil to Neil, and he suddenly exerted force with his fist on Neil's lower abdomen, knocking Neil away.

That was an inch punch.

In fact, the inch punch itself is more of a practice move or a show of skill to show your instantaneous explosive power, rather than an effective actual combat technique. After all, the force exertion distance is too short. Even if your explosive power is amazing, it will not be as damaging as a long-distance swinging punch or elbow strike to the opponent.

But the reason why Ethan chose this move as the final blow is actually very simple.

To show off.

It's like when you choose the Parawaran and beat up your little brother in the DMD difficulty m19, when he is left with only a little blood, you must stop immediately, switch back to human form and use Dimension Slash to finish him off.

Just be handsome and that's it.

Neil, who was hit by Ethan's inch punch, only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a stream of old blood gushed out of his mouth. He flew right onto the wall next to Abby and fell to the ground.

"This... this is impossible..." Abby witnessed Ethan's one-sided bullying of Neil and knelt down weakly, looking at Neil who was lying on the ground and twitching with a deathly pale face.

It's over, it's all over now.

Not only did Neil lose his fighting ability, but Ethan looked so at ease after dealing with Neil. It seemed that he had never used his full strength from beginning to end. Now he was doomed.

“Huh—” Ethan stood on the other side and put his hands together, with the tips of his palms facing each other across his chest. He slowly pressed down to make a closing gesture, then turned around and waved to Alanna, “Alanna, come with me.”

Alanna responded, running through the crowd to Ethan, and followed him to Abby and Neil.

Alanna followed Ethan's steps, tilted her head and looked closely at Ethan's face, with an indelible smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ethan is indeed very handsome.

I was so wrong to have been thinking about betrayal before. I must find a chance to apologize to him.

Ethan brought Alanna to Neil, squatted down and looked at Neil, half mocking and half sympathizing with him: "Now, can we talk?"

"@＆＃*％＆*@..." Neil, who was lying down, wanted to say something, but due to his serious injuries, he simply did not have enough strength to make a clear enough sound.

Ethan sighed, took out a bottle of invigorating potion from his coat pocket, opened the cap and dripped two drops of potion into Neil's mouth.

"Cough cough!" Under the effect of the potion, Neil's injuries finally recovered a little. He covered his chest tremblingly and kept coughing.

Ethan stood up, tightened the medicine bottle and put it back in his pocket, and said coldly to Abby: "Help him up."

"Yes, yes!" Abby, her body trembling at the moment, quickly agreed, and tremblingly helped Neil up and let his back lean against the wall.

"How can you be so strong?" Neil, who was helped up, stared at Ethan.

This was the first time he was defeated so thoroughly in a physical fight with someone else. In front of Ethan, he had no power to fight back and could only be squeezed at will at the opponent's rhythm.

Moreover, he had a feeling that if Ethan wanted to, he could easily kill him with one punch. The reason why he had been entangled with him for so long was simply because he did not take him seriously at all and was just playing with him in a playful manner.

"Is it possible that it's not that I'm strong, but that you're just too weak?" Ethan shrugged, looking very amused. "It must be unpleasant to be bullied, right?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Chapter 63 It’s boring! I said I can’t hear you, and I can’t hear you!

"What do you want to do?"

Obviously Neil didn't believe that Ethan would let him go just like that.

"I don't want to do anything." Ethan looked down at Abby and Neil with a kind smile, "I just need you to do something."

"What if I don't agree?" Even though his body could hardly move, Neil still stared at Ethan with a gloomy look and refused to give in.

"Then I can only heal you and then beat you up until you agree." Ethan spread his hands and shrugged helplessly. "Anyway, I have enough invigorating potions, so it won't be a problem to repeat the process a dozen times. Or if you want to try a wizard duel for a change, I'd be happy to accompany you."

"You dare? My father is the director of the Ministry of Magic. If I tell him about it later, you'll be finished! No one can protect you!" Neil wiped the corner of his mouth and said harshly, hoping to intimidate Ethan with the power of his family.

"Master Rosier," Ethan shook his head, very amused, "You seem to have not figured out something. I am a special admissions student of Hogwarts, and I was recruited from abroad. Do you know what this means?"

"What does that mean?" Neil asked impatiently.

"It means I have diplomatic immunity. Even if I beat you to death or blow you to pieces here, due to certain relationships, not to mention your father, a mere office director, even the directors of the seven departments would not dare to say anything under the pressure of the entire Ministry of Magic." Ethan began to talk nonsense on the spot. He didn't expect to deceive Neil for too long. It was enough to completely crush his spirit here.

"No, this is impossible!" Neil roared in frustration, "How can a Mudblood like you be more powerful than us pure-blood wizards?"

"Why, you're not convinced?" Ethan put away his smile, pulled out his wand from his sleeve and pointed it at Neil, "Then you can try it. I'll smash you to pieces--"

"Wait a minute!" Neil didn't dare to test his own life, so he quickly stopped Ethan. He swallowed his saliva and tested Ethan's bottom line, "Tell me what it is first, I want to see if I can do it."

"No. I'm not discussing this with you. I'm just informing you. No matter what it is, you have to do it. Otherwise—" Ethan put away his wand, smiled at Neil, clenched his fists, and made a crackling sound, "Then I can only beat you until you agree."

"..." Neil was silent, and finally nodded, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"First thing, apologize to her for what you did before." Ethan pointed to Alanna beside him.

"Apologize? You asked me to apologize to a Mudblood..." Before Neil could finish his words, Ethan kicked him hard in the face.

“If you say this word again in the future,” Ethan retracted his kicking leg and said to Neil with a cold face, “No matter who is saying it, no matter if I hear it directly or someone else tells me, as long as I know it, the beating you get will not be lighter than the one you just got, do you understand?”

"...I understand." Neil covered his nose and let out a muffled groan.

"Very good, now apologize to her."

"I'm... sorry. Is that okay?" Neil said reluctantly.

"You need to be sincere. Can such a perfunctory apology be considered an apology?"

"...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you... a mudblood, and I shouldn't have asked others to bully you..." Neil gritted his teeth and said to Alanna in a very low voice.

"Come on! I couldn't hear you at all! How can it be an apology if your voice is so low?"

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have insulted you and called you a mudblood! I shouldn't have asked others to bully you together! Can you forgive me?"

"Very good, very energetic." Ethan nodded with satisfaction and looked at Abby, "And you too."

"I...I want to apologize too?" Abby asked hesitantly while supporting Neil.

"That's right. With what you just said, it wouldn't be a big deal to say a few more words, right? Let's get started. Don't waste time." Ethan glanced at her and said, "Remember to be sincere and speak loudly."

"I, I shouldn't have spread rumors about you everywhere! I shouldn't have written insulting words about you in your textbook! I shouldn't have splashed you with dirty water while you were using the toilet and locked you in the toilet! I shouldn't have sneaked into your dormitory and burned your luggage! I shouldn't have..."
