The young wizards stared at the flock of birds flying above the ring. These were creatures that did not exist in reality, and even the state they were in could only exist for a short time. However, the scene of them hovering over the gilded ring with their fiery red feathers was a memory that many young wizards would never forget.
Professor Flitwick waved his wand and lifted the magic.
"These spells will be taught in class and do not require additional study," Flitwick said, "but once combined, the effect will be very good."
A senior Ravenclaw girl could not help but ask, "Professor Flitwick, I know all three types of magic. Can I master this combination magic?"
"Miss Palmer, the difficulty of combination magic has never been the spell itself, but how you match and maintain your spells to keep them stable as a whole."
Flitwick said, "So you ask me, can you master it? The answer is yes. But it takes time and practice, and it really tests your ability to control spells."
"The above is an example of the first type of spells working together, which requires certain abilities from you. The second type is relatively simple."
"The dueling magic we often use, such as the Petrification Spell, the Disarming Spell, the Stunning Spell, the Armor Spell, etc., are indeed very useful. But we can combine them with some other magic to give you more advantages."
"When the two sides in a duel are evenly matched, it is often these seemingly inconspicuous simple spells that become the key to breaking the balance."
Next, Professor Flitwick showed his background as a master of spells -
"For example, the Extrasensory Charm can significantly enhance your own perception, making you more sensitive to the environment and more sensitive to spells;"
"For example, the Resuscitation Charm, cast on yourself before a duel, can effectively resist the Stunning Charm or the Mind-confusing Charm - the effect depends on the power of the opponent's spell, but in any case, it will have some effect;"
"Another example is the 'Slide Flat' spell, which can make the road in front of you smooth;"
"Or the Waterproof and Moisture-proof Charm, which can resist water and fire damage. Although it doesn't work on black magic flames, it is still very effective for ordinary flames;"
Flitwick listed more than a dozen spells in a row, and the young wizards were dumbfounded.
Even Felix showed a thoughtful expression, thinking about the impact of Flitwick's theory on himself.
In fact, his instant kill technique is the product of this 'spell coordination with each other' theory: thought acceleration and Apparition are the core, and the Stunning Charm as a means of attack can be replaced by other spells - it depends on what purpose he wants to achieve.
In theory, the Stunning Spell can be completely replaced by the Petrifying Spell and the Disarming Spell, which will have little impact on this tactic.
And Flitwick's method of "breaking the stalemate with simple spells" is in line with the fight between Felix and Lockhart.
It can only be said that Professors Flitwick and McGonagall, each starting from different fields, but reaching the same goal, are perfectly reflected in Felix.
Finally, Flitwick concluded: "Spells are alive. They have various complex relationships. Some restrain each other, and some complement each other. If you are interested in dueling, you can spend more time to review the spells you have learned."
"I think you will have a new understanding of them."
Then, Professor Flitwick called up a few Ravenclaw students and showed his theory to the other young wizards.
Like Professor McGonagall, he also restricted and constrained himself.
Even when facing three people besieging at the same time, he can always find the most appropriate way to break the opponent's offensive with simple spells.
"Watching Professor Flitwick's duel is like watching a waltz." Justin Finch-Fletchley said admiringly.
"What is that?" asked the young wizard next to him.
"Uh... a kind of Muggle dance that looks very graceful and elegant." Justin explained.
As a duel champion, Flitwick has a very solid foundation, especially the transition between steps. He avoids many spells without blocking them.
The young wizards were dazzled by the sight. When Professor Flitwick released a large number of fireworks with his wand, which easily blocked the opponent's sight, he won a lot of applause.
Finally, Flitwick saluted and left with a smile on his face.
There was unstoppable applause behind him.
The third person to go on stage was Snape. As soon as he stood in the center of the ring, the originally restless little wizards instantly calmed down.
Snape's style was completely different from the previous two professors. He said in a cold tone: "What I want to share is when you encounter the most dangerous dark wizards, the scum hiding in the dark sewers and lingering -"
He looked at the little wizards in the audience, and after a long pause, he said: "How to deal with it."
The little wizards were silent. They were frightened by the scene described by Snape, but Harry suddenly remembered his brief experience of accidentally entering Knockturn Alley.
Knockturn Alley is adjacent to Diagon Alley. It is a dirty, narrow alley with gloomy and dim shops on both sides, all of which seem to be related to black magic. According to Hagrid, there are many dark wizards hiding there.
This year, he accidentally entered it because of a mistake in using Floo powder. At that time, a scary-looking old witch took the initiative to talk to him. In her hand, she held a plate of something that looked like dead people's nails. If he hadn't met Hagrid by chance, he didn't know what would happen.
Snape continued to speak slowly: "You need to identify dangers and distinguish them."
"You need to prepare different strategies: how to deal with fights in school? How to deal with conflicts with strangers? How to deal with evil dark wizards? And dangerous creatures and plants..." "
Frankly speaking, I don't think your tricks will work when facing dark wizards... Running away is always the first choice; asking for help is the second choice; when you have to take action... take the initiative and use any spell you can think of." Snape
's black eyes were motionless, as if two stones were inlaid. He said slowly: "In a duel, taking the initiative is always the best strategy. Giving up priority means falling into a disadvantage."
The audience was dead silent.
"Severus..." Professor McGonagall said a little uneasily, "I think there is no need for young wizards to get involved in these things."
Snape raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic expression, but he did not continue the above topic.
"When facing danger, use what you are best at, not the most powerful spell. Speed, angle, timing, success rate, these are far more important than the power of the spell alone."
