Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"So now you have to start training from the basics. When your physical fitness improves, the magic power in your body will also increase as your physical fitness improves."

"And if you lose your wand in battle, or if some dark spell holds your magic power back, making it so you can't even use wandless spells, then your body will be your last weapon."

"Oh." Harry nodded, not quite understanding.

I don't know how it works, but it seems pretty cool.

And Ethan would not lie to me, so just trust him.

"If there's no problem, then let's get started." Ethan paced on the spot to warm up. "You don't have to run too fast to keep up with me. Just run at a speed that you can bear. Oh, Hermione. Just run one lap."

Chapter 115 How to add points to the mage? Waiting online, very urgent!

"Harry, you...why are you running so fast? I can't catch up with you..."

After running two laps, Ron collapsed on the ground out of breath, looking at Harry, who was only breathing slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Why does Harry seem so excited today? And when did he get so much energy? Did he secretly cook something delicious for himself?

Harry patted his face, which was red from the rush of blood, and said, "It's not that fast actually. If I hadn't considered that I would need to conserve my energy for the rest of the training, I would have no problem running faster."

This speed was nothing compared to the speed at which he escaped when he was hiding from his cousin Dudley at the Dursleys' house.

"But where is Ethan?" Ron began to look around. "We didn't see him after running for just two laps. Did he leave us and go somewhere to have fun?"

"Playing with the Whomping Willow over there." Hermione walked over to them and pointed at the Whomping Willow in the distance. She had run one less lap than the two boys, so she had some time to rest. Now that she had recovered, she seemed to be in a more relaxed state.

Ron looked over and saw that the branches of the Whomping Willow were shaking wildly, all whipping towards a small figure beside the trunk.

The three of them slowly walked towards the Whomping Willow, staring with wide eyes at Ethan's movements under the Whomping Willow's crazy attack.

Ethan first did a side flip to avoid the whip of the Whomping Willow, then turned back and stepped on the branch of the Whomping Willow that was hitting the ground, and jumped up. He turned 720 degrees in the air at a high speed, passed through the gaps between the heavy branches, and came to the front of the tree trunk.

Spinning and jumping, he closed his eyes.

The Whomping Willow was so angry that it twisted its trunk and swung its numerous branches towards Ethan's legs with overwhelming force.

Ethan did not panic at all when faced with the attacking branches. He simply did a few Thomas turns on the spot and dodged all the branches that swept over. Then he stood upside down and used his hands as the force points for support. With a little effort, he attached his feet to the trunk of the Whomping Willow. Then he pushed his feet hard on the trunk a few times, did a somersault, and sent his whole body to the top of the Whomping Willow.

Ethan stood on the top of the tree, dodging the branches of the Whomping Willow by leaning left and right, and waved to the three people under the tree.

"I'll go down and find you guys right away. Don't get too close to the Whomping Willow. Its attacks are not to be trifled with."

The three stunned people nodded quickly and took a few steps back.

"Don't you think this is a bit outrageous?" Ron swallowed and said tremblingly.

Is this really something that humans can do?

It is recommended to conduct a thorough investigation into Ethan's bloodline, as this guy might not be human at all.

For example, Ethan is actually an ancient dragon who can transform, or a half-human with magical animal bloodlines. It makes a lot more sense when you think about it this way.

"It's not too outrageous for Ethan. I wish I could have his reaction speed someday." Harry looked envious.

"Harry, have you finally given up on being a human?" Ron complained mercilessly, "It's obvious that it's not something a human can do easily. Can Ethan really be called a human? Are you sure he's not some unknown magical animal?"

"No, it's just something that a well-trained body can do easily." During the conversation, Ethan had already come in front of them, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "It's better to say that you wizards have been devoted to studying various magics for a long time and neglected the improvement of your physical quality, which makes you too weak."

Compared to their offensive power, the defense of the wizards in the Harry Potter world is far too weak. They will all fall to the ground after being knocked unconscious by one shot. They are typical glass cannons.

In this situation, if a meaty tank character suddenly appears who can withstand several spells unscathed, regardless of his attack power, the opponent will probably lose his mind when he sees that his attacks can't deal any effective damage.

It means that attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart.

What I need to do is to train their physical fitness first. Although they can't really withstand several Avada Kedavra like Hagrid, they can still faint after being hit by two and act like nothing happened if they try harder.

Then you can teach them some essential skills for a mage.

So, how to train a qualified white-robed wizard?

Train his strength, endurance, agility and body movements, teach him to master all kinds of weapons, such as one-handed sword, two-handed sword, long stick and short knife. As for spells, just learn the flash bomb and fireball.

What you think of a wizard duel:

Mid- and long-range spells were exchanged, high-speed divine words were unhurried, and the last electric welding wave was countered, with sparks flying all over the sky.

Actual wizard duels:

When you meet your opponent, cast a few magic spells to make him think you are weak in close combat, and then take out your greatsword to attack him at close range. Of course, you still need to cast spells, such as hardening and sharpening elemental enchants. You can also pick up a mandrake, poisonous tentacle, Chinese biting cabbage, etc. to let the opponent experience the joy of being beaten up by a group.

"First lesson of physical training: 20 squats, 20 sit-ups, 20 jumping jacks, let's get started!"

"Is this the amount of training?" Harry looked confused.

I took off my pants and you show me this? .jpg

"Harry, don't be anxious. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. This is your first time participating in this kind of training. If you increase the intensity of exercise too much right at the beginning, you will be sore all over the next day." Ethan gave a thumbs up, "Of course, the amount of training will be gradually increased in the future."

"Okay!" Harry didn't say a word and followed Ethan's movements to do squats.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, curled their lips, and followed Harry's lead.

I always feel like I'm going further and further down some strange path.

"Very good, is that so? The most important thing is to persevere. No matter how hard it is, you can't give up!" Ethan nodded with great satisfaction. "By the way, no matter how much you do, I will do ten times as much as you do. In other words, my exercise volume is one thousand percent of yours!"

A week later.

"Ethan, are we going to do a set of physical training today like before?" Harry, wearing the same training suit as the Chinese school uniform that Ethan had tailored for him, jumped on the spot with a look of anticipation on his face.

Although it hurts a bit at first (referring to body aches), the body gets used to it after a while. It even becomes a bit addictive. If I don’t do it every day, I feel uncomfortable all over (referring to training).

"No, no, no, your body will get tired easily if you do the same movements every day." Ethan shook his head. "Let's do something different today."

"What is it?"

Ethan put his arm around Harry's shoulders and nodded forward with a kind look on his face.

"Harry, do you see that Whomping Willow?"

Chapter 116 Don’t run away, rush towards the Whomping Willow!

"Well, what happened?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Harry had a bad feeling.

Why do I feel like the word "danger" suddenly popped up above my head?

"What we have to do today is very simple," Ethan called Ron and Hermione over, "Didn't I take you to do physical training for a week? Now it's time to test your results."

"The Whomping Willow, as its name suggests, will hit you with its branches if you get close to it, but there is a way to avoid this."

Ethan said, letting go of Harry and slowly approaching the Whomping Willow: "Watch carefully, I will only demonstrate it once."

Ethan dodged the Whomping Willow's branches with a few quick moves, rushed to the trunk, and put his hand on a knot on the trunk close to the ground.

The willow tree that was swaying wildly suddenly stopped and remained motionless like Rohan on the shore.

"Okay, come here. It's absolutely safe now." Ethan raised his foot and stepped on the scar, then removed his hand that was holding the scar and waved to the three people.

“See? Just get close to the Whomping Willow and press this knot, and it will stop attacking. But just lift it slightly…” Ethan said, and raised his foot slightly. The leaves of the Whomping Willow immediately began to rustle, and several branches twisted together and swung towards the people under the tree like fists.

Ethan stepped on the knot again, and the crazy branches stopped moving again.

“…it will regain its ability to move.”

"This is the content of the second lesson of our physical training: avoid the attack of the Whomping Willow, go to the trunk and press the knot to stop it from attacking. Of course, if you can withstand the attack and walk past it with a swagger, that's fine too."

"Clam??????"

The three of them stared at each other with an expression that said "Are you kidding me?"

Is this not right? Is this definitely a training method and not a farewell ceremony?

"Ethan, isn't this a little too early for us?" Hermione swallowed and asked tremblingly.

She did not resist the previous exercise, because she could indeed feel that the magic power in her body was gradually increasing after the exercise. Moreover, Ethan gradually increased the intensity over time, instead of using high-intensity exercise to overwhelm their bodies right from the start.

In this regard, Hermione still has enough trust in Ethan.

Therefore, the training plan Ethan just proposed did not make her feel confused or resistant. Hermione knew that since Ethan proposed this plan, it meant that it was feasible and effective.

But she really couldn't do this kind of thing.

It would take at least two or three years before I could fight the Whomping Willow in a battle of wits and courage!

"It's getting late. Your current strength is beyond your imagination. As long as you work a little harder, this kind of thing can still be done."

"But why should we do this? It doesn't seem to have much to do with improving our strength?" Harry asked.

"Good question, Harry. How about this, you guys get out of the Whomping Willow's attack range first, and I'll explain it to you in detail." Ethan said, rolling up his sportswear sleeves to reveal his two muscular forearms.

After the few people retreated to a safe area, Ethan removed his foot that was stepping on the knot, and the willow knot that had just stopped in mid-air continued to hit him.

This time Ethan did not dodge, but raised his hand and used his arm to block the branches of the Whomping Willow. The willow branches collided fiercely with his body, making a dull sound.

Ethan blocked the Whomping Willow's attack nonchalantly, strolled out of the Whomping Willow's attack range, and spread his hands to Harry and the other two.

"Look, it's no big deal if you just fight it. It'll only hurt a little bit."

The three of them rolled their eyes as they looked at Ethan's arms, which were streaked red by the willow branches.

I don't believe you at all, you call this a little?

"And you don't have to worry about getting hurt due to mistakes." Ethan took out a dozen transparent ampoules from his pocket and showed them between his fingers. The bottles were all filled with green liquid. "This is the invigorating potion I made these few days. It's large enough to fill your stomach. If it's just a superficial wound, one sip will heal it."

After that, Ethan unscrewed a bottle of stimulating potion, tilted his head back and drank it down. The red mark on his arm disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, Harry just asked why we had to do this strange-looking training, right?" Ethan put the empty ampoule back into his pocket, shook his swollen hands, and asked.

Harry nodded quickly, looking expectant.

"You may not feel the reality of what I'm saying, so Hermione, draw your wand and point it at me."

"Huh?" Hermione blinked in confusion, but still pointed her wand at him as Ethan said.

"Now use all the offensive spells you know to attack me as much as you can." Ethan waved at Hermione, "Don't worry, don't hold back for fear of hurting me, just attack with all your strength, I can handle it."

"Okay." Hermione gritted her teeth and waved her wand at Ethan: "Flame!"

A bright red line of fire spurted out from the tip of the wand and shot straight towards Ethan.

"Watch this." Just before the fire was about to touch Ethan's chest, Ethan's body quickly swayed to the side, avoiding the attack, and then returned to his original position.

"That's right. No matter how powerful the spell is, it's meaningless if it can't hit the target." Ethan turned around and said, "What I want to train is your reaction speed and agility. Imagine that when you are in a wizard duel, no matter what kind of spell the opponent casts, it can't hit you. Even if you don't know any high-damage spells, you just need to deal with it slowly and accumulate damage gradually, and then you can easily defeat the enemy."

"And the injuries you suffer during training will also temper your will, so that you won't lose your fighting spirit easily because of a little pain. In short, it's killing two birds with one stone."

Ethan pointed at Harry and said, "Harry, let's start with you."

Harry nodded reluctantly, slowly moved to the edge of the Whomping Willow's attack range, and swallowed.

"Go ahead, Harry! Charge towards the Whomping Willow in one go!" Ethan cheered Harry on from behind.

Harry took two more steps forward fearfully, and the branches of the Whomping Willow moved instantly, whipping towards him at an extremely fast speed.

So he turned and ran away.

"What are you doing, Harry? Don't run away, run towards the Whomping Willow!"

"Ahhh no, Ethan, I'm still scared!" Harry ran away, hopping to avoid the branches of the Whomping Willow, shouting desperately.

Chapter 117 Boomerang Thrower

Snapped!

Harry tried his best to escape but still couldn't avoid the attack of the Whomping Willow. He was hit hard on the butt by the willow branches and jumped three meters away.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Harry covered his red buttocks and screamed, looking at Ethan aggrievedly.

"Ethan, this is too difficult, I really can't do it!"

Ethan took out a bottle of invigorating potion and threw it over. "It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It will be a bit embarrassing at the beginning. Take a sip of the potion and take a rest, and see how Ron and Hermione perform."

"Come on, Ron, let Harry see the strength of the Weasley family!"

Two minutes later.

"Uh ...

Ron was hit by the branches of the Whomping Willow and flew away. He spun three and a half times in the air and flew five meters away, then fell headfirst into the lawn like a head start.

Ethan pulled Ron out of the soil like pulling a carrot, and pursed his lips at Hermione: "Hermione, go ahead."

One minute later.
