Chapter 42 An unexpected duel



Seeing that Wentworth had walked to the center of the scene and stood opposite to Welin, everyone at the scene finally confirmed that the first person to represent Hufflepuff House was actually Wentworth! The students from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw at the scene suddenly made a commotion. Some couldn't believe it, some showed sarcasm, and some were thoughtful.

"Green! What are you doing? I've already said that I will be the first to appear! The order of our Slytherin appearance will be from fifth grade to first grade! You actually let a first grader replace you?! Are you scared?"

Seeing that the person standing in front of him was not his old rival Green, but a freshman of Hufflepuff, Weilin suddenly felt as if he was humiliated, and couldn't help but speak loudly in the direction of Hufflepuff.

But Green seemed not to have heard anything at all. He was chatting with Cedric beside him and ignored Weilin.

Instead, Professor McGonagall saw this order of appearance and kindly reminded them: "Green, did you Hufflepuffs get the order of appearance wrong? Did you forget to arrange from fifth grade to first grade? If so, I will make the decision. You can adjust the order of appearance now."

Although he could ignore what Waring and himself said, he still had to answer what Professor McGonagall said.

Green turned around and said to Professor McGonagall respectfully, "Professor McGonagall, no need for that. According to our prior agreement, once the list is handed over to Professor Ilona, ​​it cannot be changed! This is a rule proposed by us Hufflepuffs, so we should abide by it, lest someone loses and refuses to admit his mistake!"

As Green spoke, he rolled his eyes in the direction of Weylin, which made Weylin very angry, but he could do nothing but turn his gaze to his own head of house, Professor Snape.

But Snape didn't notice Welin's gaze at all. At this time, Snape was busy exchanging glances with Dumbledore.

Snape: Dumbledore, is Wentworth confident that his spell level has surpassed that of a fifth-year student? Impossible! Even if he has mastered spells, he is only 11 years old. He doesn't have that much magic power!

Dumbledore: Why are you looking at me? How should I know?

Snape: Can't you use Legilimency to see it? Dumbledore: If I could use Legilimency, I would have done it long ago! Wentworth, this kid, has learned the brain occlumency technique! Snape: ...He is only 11 years old. Although I have been constantly improving my understanding of him, I didn't expect that I still underestimated him.

Dumbledore: Let's wait and see.

On the other side, Welin saw that his dean, Professor Snape, didn't even look at him, so he turned around and looked behind him. There was a tall and thin male wizard. He was the third-year wizard representative of Slytherin selected by Snape.

"Hey, Hufflepuff may have mixed up the appearance list. In this case, you third-year students may be the key to our victory or defeat. Do you have confidence?"

The wizard looked in the direction of Hufflepuff, with a conceited smile on his face, and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Prefect. Apart from two Ravenclaw classmates, I am confident that no one in the third grade can match me. Hufflepuff? They are even worse!"

After hearing his teammate's answer, Weilin finally felt relieved. He turned to look at Wentworth and grinned, "Wentworth, you're unlucky to meet me. Don't worry, I won't use evil spells on you. But if you get blown away by the magic of the spell and get hurt, don't blame me!"

But Wentworth said indifferently:

"Senior Weilin, if you can do it, then just come on, provided you can hit me!"

Seeing that both sides had no objections to the duel list, Professor Ilona stood in the center of the venue and said, "Since both sides are ready, the duel will now officially begin! Both sides bow!"

As Professor Ilona finished speaking, Wentworth and Welin bowed to each other, then both of them raised their wands to their faces, placed the wands vertically in the center of their faces, and then suddenly put the wands down.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became subdued. Even the most noisy Gryffindor Weasley twins held their breath and looked at both sides nervously.

Dumbledore, Snape, and even Professor McGonagall stared at Wentworth without blinking, wanting to see clearly every move of Wentworth.

Seeing that Welin and Wentworth were about to reach the top of their respective duel arenas, Professor Ilona said loudly:

"start!"

Following Professor Ilona's instructions, Welin turned around abruptly, raised his wand, pointed it in the direction of Wentworth, and said loudly: "Excuse me..."

However, unlike Weilin's performance, Wentworth did not even turn his head. He raised his hand very calmly and said, "I give up!"

There was an uproar at the scene, and boos instantly broke out among the Gryffindor and Slytherin students.

Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other in surprise, and at the same time, their expressions became more solemn.

The two of them were thinking the same thing at this moment: They never expected that even in such a situation, Wentworth was still unwilling to expose his strength. It can be seen how many secrets Wentworth has hidden!

And Weilin, who was fighting against Wentworth, almost choked to death on his own saliva. Although he won the duel, why did he feel so boring?

Seeing that Wentworth was about to walk off the duel field, Welin gritted his teeth and did not stop the half-cast spell, but continued to cast! "Expelliarmus!"

All of this happened in a flash. After seeing Wentworth surrender, Welin actually continued to attack. There was another cry of surprise at the scene. After all, Wentworth was facing away from Welin at this time.

"Stop the curse immediately!"

But at this moment, another spell came later and collided with Welin's disarming spell in mid-air, destroying it without a trace. The one who cast the spell was one of the referees of this duel, Professor Ilona.

Hearing the noise behind him, Wentworth seemed to be unsurprisingly calm as he half turned around, glanced back at Weilin, and gave a mocking smile.

"I told you, Senior Weilin, you have to be able to hit me!"

After saying this, without waiting for Welin to react, Wentworth turned around and walked back to the Hufflepuff camp.

Unlike the boos from Gryffindor and Slytherin, Wentworth walked back to Hufflepuff, who cheered loudly from the Hufflepuff students.
