Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Chapter 180: Finally narrowed the gap in strength

"Andy, you have pretty good skills! Have you ever considered joining the Ravenclaw team and winning glory for the school?"

An hour later, Andy and Zhang Qiu paused their practice and sat in the stands with Hermione to rest.

Hearing this, Hermione also turned to look at Andy, "I also think you fly well, you can try the pursuit hand position."

"I?"

Andy shook his head. "Forget it! Quidditch training takes up too much time."

Hermione and Zhang Qiu did not try to persuade him further after hearing this.

They all have a certain understanding of Andy, that is, he is a guy crazy about magic.

"What time is it?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"Less than two o'clock."

Andy checked his watch. "The Duel Club meets at three o'clock. We can still train for another hour."

"Come on!" Zhang Qiu stood up and said.

Andy was quite athletic and was often dragged by Ron to play Quidditch before he entered school. Although Zhang Qiu was very talented in flying, he was far behind Andy in terms of experience.

Fortunately, Andy is just a sparring partner, and winning is not Andy's main goal.

At 2:40, Andy and Zhang Qiu stopped practicing.

"Qiu, you are very talented, but if you want to play, you have to continue to practice hard."

Andy concluded: "In Quidditch, fouling is also a science."

Zhang Qiu rubbed his ribs and said unhappily, "So... is this why you fouled me?"

Andy shrugged. "If you don't believe me, ask Hermione. She definitely didn't see it."

Hermione did not see Andy committing a foul. Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Hermione said, "I saw Andy catch up with you, and then you suddenly slowed down, and in the end Andy grabbed the Golden Snitch."

"Okay, I will study Quidditch's foul tactics carefully." Zhang Qiu compromised.

She actually doesn't like fouls, but fouls are an essential part of Quidditch games.

While chatting, the three of them returned to the castle together. After handing in their brooms, they went all the way up to the sixth floor and came to the abandoned classroom where they practiced magic.

Seeing Andy and the other two coming in, Cedric looked at Andy with resentment.

He had heard that Andy and Hermione were practicing Quidditch with Zhang Qiu, and he, a Hufflepuff, was vaguely excluded by the three of them.

"We are rivals on the court," Andy said with a smile.

"All right!"

Cedric raised his hands in surrender, but he would not give up such a good opportunity. "You have to train on your own, but if you don't understand something technically, I can help you."

"Thank you!" Zhang Qiu did not refuse.

"Okay, time is running out, let's start practicing dueling!"

Andy suggested, "Cedric, how about we have a fight first? I've gotten a lot stronger this summer."

Cedric raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence, me too!"

Andy waved his wand to lock the door of the classroom, and then cast a silencing spell on the classroom to ensure that no one would come and disturb him and others.

"Hermione, you start the game."

Andy said, and then distanced himself from Cedric.

"start!"

Hearing 'start', Andy quickly cast an armor spell on himself, and then raised his wand directly at Cedric.

At this moment, Cedric had just finished chanting the spell "Armor Protection".

This is the advantage of silent casting.

Chanting mantras also takes time.

Even though the time spent chanting the spell is actually very short, compared to casting the spell silently, that short time will seem extremely long.

If it was a real fight of life and death, this time difference would be enough for Cedric to die.

Whoosh!

Under Cedric's astonished gaze, a red beam of magic directly tore apart his armor spell.

Before Cedric could react, Andy waved his wand continuously, launching wave after wave of attacks towards Cedric.

Cedric ran around the classroom in a panic, but in less than a minute, he was easily disarmed by Andy.

Taking the wand handed over by Andy, Cedric shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Andy, I am no match for you now. You are a rare magical genius."

"Thank you!"

Andy said, “But I also work hard.”

In fact, life-and-death battles between wizards often rely on sneak attacks.

Because if two wizards are ready at the same time, it is actually difficult to determine the winner.

Even if the two wizards have different levels of magical attainments, the difference will not be too big. It is always possible to use the Armor Spell to defend against a few magic spells.

Unless one of the wizards is an athletic genius with extremely fast reaction times, while the other wizard is a slow idiot.

Andy and Cedric are prime examples of this.

Andy's magic attainments are high, and Cedric's motor nerves are strong. In this case, as long as Andy can't kill Cedric in one second, the battle situation will be deadlocked.

But now, this situation has been broken.

Silent casting gave Andy a huge advantage. He didn't need to chant any spells and could cast spells continuously just by waving his wand. This was a dimensionality reduction attack on Cedric.

The casting speed is fast, the magic power is strong, and you can even explode by adjusting your emotions.

Andy is now considered a wizard of good level in the magical world.

Zhang Qiu exclaimed, "I've known for a long time that Andy can cast spells silently, but I didn't expect he has become so proficient at it."

Andy chuckled and glanced at Hermione smugly.

Unexpectedly, Hermione didn't give Andy a cold look. Instead, she looked at Andy with a bright face.

"You two should take a break!"

Zhang Qiu suggested: "Hermione, how about we give it a try?"

"No problem," Hermione replied.

Among the four, if ranked by dueling ability, it should be Andy, Cedric, Hermione, and Zhang Qiu.

Although Hermione looks like a nerd and has a little fear of heights, the little witch's dueling ability is not bad at all. Her motor nerves may not be very good, but her calculation ability is very strong.

The little witch always performs the most useful magic at critical moments.

Cedric suddenly suggested at this time: "I think you two can try it with Andy. I don't think he needs a rest now."

Andy was a little embarrassed.

It really wasn't tiring at all to wave a wand.

Unlike Cedric, who was beaten by Andy and ran around the house.

"sure!"

Zhang Qiu looked at Andy eagerly, "What do you think, Andy? Do you dare to compete with the two of us?"

"Okay, come on!"

Andy walked to the other end of the classroom, putting some distance between himself and Hermione and Zhang Qiu.

"You guys start first!" Andy said casually.

"Be less arrogant."

Hermione cast an Shield Charm on herself, and seeing that Andy still hadn't cast the spell, she looked at Zhang Qiu and raised her wand towards Andy at the same time.

Chapter 181 The Four Stages of a Wizard - Andy's Personal Views

Whizzing!

Two beams of magic light came towards Andy at an extremely fast speed.

Andy waved his wand casually, and the two spells were directly broken by Andy.

This is actually a high-end usage of the Iron Armor Spell.

It can also be said to be a kind of show of skill.

Andy raised his eyebrows at Hermione and said, "Come on, little one!"

Hermione gritted her teeth and waved her wand again.

"A salvo of ten thousand bullets!"

A large group of canaries appeared around Hermione, and as Hermione pointed her wand at Andy, all the canaries rushed towards Andy at an extremely fast speed like bullets.

Zhang Qiu was equally unwilling to be outdone, and she cast another spell.

"Except your weapons!"

Andy waved his wand lightly, and all the canaries turned into fireballs in an instant, and then quickly gathered together to form a six-meter-long fire snake, looking down at Hermione.

Andy then waved his wand again, breaking Zhang Qiu's disarming spell.

The two sides exchanged blows several times.

Andy mainly focuses on defense, and occasionally attacks a few times, which can cause great trouble to Hermione and Zhang Qiu.

After all, the purpose of holding a duel club is to practice dueling, not to compete. Winning is not the goal, but to grow in the process is the most important thing.

Five minutes later, seeing that Hermione and Zhang Qiu were a little tired, Andy took his wand and flicked it lightly, and Hermione's wand immediately flew out of his hand.

"Yeah!" Hermione exclaimed.

Andy suddenly raised his wand and pointed it at Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu defended quickly.

"Armor protection!"

Unfortunately, this didn't work at all.

A red beam of magic light instantly tore apart Zhang Qiu's armor spell. Zhang Qiu took two steps back and the magic wand in his hand flew out.

Andy made an apologetic face.

"I haven't seen you for a summer, and I didn't expect you have become so amazing." Zhang Qiu exclaimed.

Even in the first year, she and Hermione were no match for Andy, but Andy was never as easy to deal with as he was today.

At that time, the two sides could at least fight back and forth.

But today...Andy didn't even move.

Andy also felt a little emotional. After a year of hard training, he finally widened the gap in strength.

The strength here does not refer to magical attainments.

But it’s the strength of PK.

According to Andy's observation, many wizards are still only at the stage of "knowing how to use" magic.

Such a wizard is certainly not worth mentioning.

The stronger ones should be the wizards of Helen and Kyle's era.

At that time, Voldemort was wreaking havoc in the wizarding world, but they could still enjoy Dumbledore's protection in school. Even when they went home on holidays, the Death Eaters would not embarrass Hogwarts students.

But what happens after graduation?

Therefore, the young wizards of that era were trying their best to improve their strength, and they were generally very strong.

The strongest conventional wizards in the wizarding world are the professionally trained Aurors, professional wizards who make a living by dueling competitions, and dark wizards who often hover on the brink of life and death.
