As soon as Kyle came onto the stage, there was cheering all around.

Fred and George were the loudest among them. They even spent a minute making a Quidditch-style cheering banner and waved it continuously below.

Cedric and Qiu also ran over with a bunch of streamers to join in the fun.

To be honest, this was the first time Kyle wished he had never met them.

"Okay, Kyle, calm down," Lockhart said. "I'm going to teach you a trick. When Flint points his wand at you, you do this."

He raised his wand and waved it left and right, trying to perform complicated tricks, but accidentally dropped it on the ground.

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Lockhart quickly picked it up and said, "Haha... my wand got a little overexcited."

Snape approached Marcus, lowered his head and whispered something to him, and Marcus immediately sneered.

"Don't worry." Lockhart patted Kyle's shoulder cheerfully. "Although he is in the sixth grade, as long as you do what I just did, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"What, dropped your wand?"

Lockhart acted as if he hadn't heard.

"Are you ready?" he shouted, "Three...two...one, go!"

Marcus quickly raised his wand...

"Armor protects you!"

"Oolong out of the cave!"

I don't know if Snape said something to him or if he learned from the lesson just now, but this time he took the initiative to put a shield on himself and did not use the evil curse again. Instead, he conjured up a thick and long black snake.

Armor is useless against this type of spell.

Kyle also knew this, but he had no intention of continuing to use the Armor Spell.

When the black snake raised its head and prepared to attack, Kyle's spell was also completed.

"Fall quickly!"

Marcus stumbled and his legs suddenly sank into the stage.

The Swamp Charm, which Flitwick taught him in the Spells Club, can turn hard ground into a muddy swamp. It is also one of the trap spells commonly used in duels.

Marcus, who was hit, tilted his body and the fire spell he had just prepared was interrupted.

Kyle dodged the attacking black snake and raised his wand.

The black snake in mid-air twisted and turned into a rope and flew back to Marcus, binding his wrists and arms.

"Give up?" Kyle laughed.

Marcus said nothing, just stared at Kyle with hatred while struggling to lift his wand.

"Okay, got it."

Kyle took a deep breath and cast the Transfiguration spell again.

The stage behind Marcus began to bulge upwards, transforming into a huge two-meter-high stone statue.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the stone statue raised the long-handled axe in its hand high, briefly accumulated strength, and then swung it down violently.

There were screams all around, and the people nearby stepped back subconsciously. Many people even covered their eyes, not daring to watch what was happening next.

"I give up!" Marcus shouted heartbreakingly.

“That’s enough!”

At the same time, Snape also stretched out his wand, "Petrification!"

The stone statue stopped instantly, and the huge axe blade also froze in mid-air.

"Do you want to kill Flint?"

Snape roared angrily: "One hundred points deducted from Hufflepuff..."

"Professor, I think you misunderstood."

Kyle interrupted him, "If you look closely, you'll see that's not what I meant."

"Kyle is right, Professor Snape." Lockhart walked over and looked at the statue.

"The axe was off by an inch. Even if it fell, it would only hit the stage next to it. Flint would not be hurt at all."

Snape didn't even listen to what Lockhart said.

"Why do you want to do this..." He looked at Kyle and said coldly, "A disarming spell can win the victory."

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape," Kyle said, "I just learned the Disarming Spell today, so I'm not very proficient in it yet. This is a little easier."

Snape's face turned a little grim.

Partial deformation of an object, this is a high-end technique that only seventh-year advanced classes can learn... Easier than the Disarming Charm? How could he say such a thing? Did he really think that everyone was an idiot like Lockhart? Snape's chest rose and fell violently, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kyle, and pointed in the direction of the auditorium door.

"Fifty points off for Hufflepuff!"

"Get out, now!"

Kyle didn't say anything, put away his wand, strode out of the hall.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of the duel club to observe if anyone was behaving abnormally, but now it seemed that he no longer had this opportunity.

But so far, the people he knew... including Ron, Harry, Lockhart and others were no different from usual, and no one looked like they had been controlled by the diary.

I guess there's no point in reading any further.

"I should have known not to come. I lost fifty points in vain." Kyle sighed after walking out of the auditorium.

At this time, Kanna, Cedric and others also came out.

"Thanks to you, Kyle." Fred laughed and said, "I wanted to leave a long time ago, but unfortunately I never found the opportunity."

"Yeah, there's nothing you can learn from Lockhart and Snape." George glanced at the door of the Great Hall. "I don't think the monster in the Chamber of Secrets will bow to me when he sees me."

As he spoke, he imitated Lockhart's hand gestures and said, "Oh... this is so stupid."

"The stone statue you just made is so cool." Cedric also said, "I didn't expect that Professor McGonagall just mentioned partial transformation last week, and you have already learned it."

"This is it." Kanna pointed at a stone statue at the entrance of the auditorium, "This is exactly the same as the one just now."

Several people were talking at the same time, not giving Kyle a chance to interrupt.

"I……"

Kyle just made a sound when Cedric patted his shoulder.

"You don't have to worry about the deduction." He smiled and said, "It's only fifty points. We Hufflepuffs don't care about that."

"Yeah." Fred also said, "Gryffindor is always at the bottom, but we're pretty happy with it. You'll get used to it."

"If I can teach that Marcus Flint a lesson, I'll take a hundred points off."

Professor McGonagall probably wouldn't be happy to hear this.

"I didn't care about the deductions." Kyle smiled, "Don't forget that last year, Snape deducted 50 points from me in just two classes."

"That's true..." George nodded. "See, I just said that we don't need to comfort him."

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have said those things against my will." Fred muttered softly, "In fact, we care about grades a lot."

It was already late, and the group separated at the stairs.

After returning to the empty Hufflepuff common room, Cedric was still talking about the Transfiguration spell that Kyle had just cast.

"It's a pity that Professor McGonagall wasn't there, otherwise she would definitely not let Snape deduct points..."

"I just tried it." Kyle said, "Maybe the stage is spliced ​​together, not a real whole, so it is much simpler to operate."

"That's also amazing." Cedric sat on a sofa. "Such a big stone statue... Even if it is deformed normally, the most I can do is to make it look roughly like this, let alone make it move flexibly."

"You don't need to be flexible. That would be too troublesome. Just focus your energy on the most critical part." Kyle said, "Just like before, I used the weapon of the stone statue to drive its arm movement..."

"You mean... the continuity of an object after it's transformed? But normally, the statue's arms are fixed. Wouldn't that disperse some of the magic power?"

"Stone statues can't, but armor can..."

"Armor... I see. You changed its structure from the beginning." Cedric said excitedly, "I should have thought of it earlier. Professor McGonagall said before..."

Kanna stood nearby and blinked blankly.

What’s going on… These two people were fine just now, why are they suddenly discussing transfiguration, and she can’t understand a word they are saying.
