The hall was noisy.

The young wizards stood on tiptoe, waiting for the professor of today's duel class to arrive.

"Don't let it be Professor Moody, he's too scary." A Ravenclaw girl said, "Especially when he rushes over to correct you, it's like he's going to curse you..."

"That's why he's partnered with Professor Flitwick." Her friend next to her said.

At this time, Felix appeared from the entrance hall and walked into the hall. When he stood on the gilded arena, he unexpectedly discovered students from other schools.

"We have new guests today, welcome." Felix said softly, pulling out his wand and spraying a few sparks from the tip of the wand. "Usually we can only see each other at dinner or in the library. Now is a rare opportunity. You have the opportunity to learn about the magical skills of different schools."

"Professor, do we want to challenge each other?"

"That's not a bad idea," Felix said lightly, "but I hope you can focus on the purpose of communication. Is there any warrior who wants to try? Introduce your school?"

After a moment of silence, a tall warrior walked out from the stage. It was Nona Labbert. She smoothed her hair, revealing her slender chocolate-colored neck. Her eyes looked wild.

"Nona Lebert," she pointed at herself, "I'm from Ugadu, and I'm good at astronomy and transfiguration. Of course, after coming here, I found that I'm also good at casting spells with gestures."

Nona waved her hand, and something that looked more like a stick than a wand flew over. She caught it in her hand, and she waved it twice, making a heart-pounding "whoosh" sound. Several students who were close to her quickly shrank their heads and retreated, fearing that they would be hit by accident.

"The wand is not dispensable for us. It can make our spellcasting more fluent," Nona introduced. "Of course, in addition to the wand, we also insist on learning independent gesture casting. It is convenient, fast and secretive."

She raised her head. "If you want to dislocate someone's jaw, just wave your hand... provided you are skilled enough."

"Very good, Miss Lebert, do you want to have an exhibition match next, or..."

"No, I heard that I can ask the professor for guidance, is that right?" She said with burning eyes, "I am very interested in duels, especially duels with people who are stronger than me... I challenged every senior student on Moon Mountain, including young professors."

"Of course." Felix nodded and patted Sniff Valen's head, telling it to find a safe place.

"Here"

"Look here! Valen"

More than one student shouted this. Valen seemed to be quite popular, but he still ran to Hermione, who was standing on tiptoe looking at the ring. She picked him up in her arms, "Oh, we can take a closer look, maybe the third project can be used..."

"I don't want to fight against students from Vagado or Ilvermorny." Ron muttered, "Both animal transformation and combined magic are very tricky. I heard from Byers that they form teams according to Auror standards when taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"That is an advanced course for seniors, and it is considered an Auror reserve." Hermione reminded.

On the field, Felix and Nona Labbert bowed slightly, and then Nona waved her hand violently, and a string of sparks burst out from Felix's jaw. He used the Human Armor Charm in advance.

Felix's voice also appeared: "Gesture casting is fast enough. If you are not sure, it is right to choose to protect yourself first... You can use the armor spell or prepare an amulet for yourself."

Nona waved her hands repeatedly, and her fingertips flicked rhythmically. Soon the floor of the ring became dilapidated. Felix lightly picked up the spell. So far, Nona has not shown enough strength.

At this time, the broken wooden boards on the ground twisted into six African spiny rats. Felix stabbed the magic wand hard, and six magic ropes flew out from the tip of the wand, which looked like a six-headed snake. The ropes quickly wrapped around the spiny rats, and the transformation was forcibly interrupted. The

spiny rats suddenly burst out a thick smoke, and at this time, Nona's figure suddenly disappeared.

Felix locked her trail with his magic vision, turned slightly in the center of the ring, and saw her stretch her body and turn into an agile leopard. With the cover of thick smoke, she approached silently. She turned around nimbly in mid-air like a big cat, and was about to pounce. The magic rope that had been broken by the explosion on the ground suddenly jumped up and turned into layers of snake shadows that surrounded her.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~"

Nona saw three snakes staring at her at the same time, and there was a hissing sound behind her, so she decisively chose to give in.

After the smoke dissipated, she had returned to her original state. Nona asked Felix calmly, "What do you think I need to improve?"

"I can see that you have your own tactics," Felix thought for a while and said, "But your attack intention is too obvious, and there is a lack of protection when the human body is transformed... This kind of negligence should not exist?"

"It's not negligence." Nona laughed, "We have been thinking about cooperation recently, so you are not facing Nona Lebert, but one-third of the Vagadu Warriors. Under normal circumstances, when I turn into a leopard, I will be covered with various protective magic."

"So that's how it is." Felix nodded slightly. He roughly simulated it in his mind. Vagadu's transformation tactics may really have great potential. Even the three animal forms of the blue eagle, leopard, and elephant that have been displayed so far, although each of them is not too powerful, it will be different if there are teammates who cast protective magic on the side.

They only need to make full use of their respective advantages as much as possible and express them explosively. Use the blue eagle to observe and find weaknesses; use the leopard to rush forward and occupy important positions; and then use the elephant to rush and break through the trap to open the way. This combination will not have much problem even when facing ordinary black wizards.

Then a warrior from Durmstrang School also stood up. Everyone looked at him curiously. They knew very little about this warrior. He was even less noticeable than the warrior named "Brooke".

At least that Braoke contributed a wonderful scene. Professor Hepp descended from the height of the Black Lake, grabbed him and put him in his pocket, causing an area on the projection screen to be black for several minutes.

"Uh, hello," the man stammered, "My name is Ors Polyaco, I like Hogwarts wine very much..."

A burst of laughter rang out in the hall.

Polyaco's face turned redder and he looked at a loss. When the laughter subsided, he continued, "I, uh... I want to introduce the dark magic..."

The voice in the hall suddenly disappeared.

"I, I have heard some rumors in the past few months, saying that Durmstrang teaches students the dark magic without any scruples... I think it is necessary to explain, ahem! The rumors are not entirely true..." Polyaco said, "... It is necessary to introduce my school, otherwise the misunderstanding will only be greater."

"Since the second headmaster, Durmstrang has attached great importance to duels and war magic. Today, more than 600 years later, we have taken this tradition to the extreme. Yes, Durmstrang does teach dark magic, but every dark magic is carefully selected to ensure that there will be no problems... Otherwise, Durmstrang will not be on par with Hogwarts and Beauxbatons..."

The young wizards in the audience were talking about it.

"What do you think, Harry?" Ron asked.

"It seems to make sense," Harry thought for a while and said, "but I don't like Karkaroff." He accidentally learned that Karkaroff gave Durmstrang's warrior team ten points in the second project, while other teams only hovered around seven or eight points.

This was the result of Karkaroff being warned, otherwise he would have given others even lower scores.

"No one likes Karkaroff," Ron muttered, looking up at Polyaco on the stage, who was introducing some of Durmstrang's school rules to prove Durmstrang's strict attitude towards dark magic.

There was sparse applause in the auditorium.

"Our school rules also prohibit night roaming, trespassing in the forbidden forest, and buying and selling dung bombs!" Ron said softly.

Harry couldn't help laughing.

"Next, I will show you some black magic," Polyaco said excitedly, encouraged by the applause. "It's not as evil as you think, but you have to use it in the right place and use negative emotions reasonably..."
