Marian, who was fiddling with her new hairpin with her head down, was startled by the sudden sound. When she looked up, she found that Moody's magic eye was looking at her at some point.

She stood up tremblingly, her face flushed, and whispered: "I have heard of it, it should be the killing curse..."

"Very good, sit down, but you'd better put that thing away next time in class."

Moody turned his head, but his evil eyes were still staring at her, "Yes, the Killing Curse, which is also the most terrifying spell... But these are courses for sixth grade and above, it's too early for you.

"Who else knows about the more common dark magic now?"

Several more hands went up.

"Ms. Prince." Moody pointed at Connor.

"Well, there should be one," Kanna said, "Corrosion."

"Ah, yes, standard dark magic." Moody nodded. "It can corrode flesh and bones. It is extremely dangerous and is also the favorite trick of most dark wizards... I mean, you may not understand it very well."

He took out his wand and shook it gently at the podium.

The podium was immediately covered with a layer of purple, muddy substance, and the hard wood melted instantly like an ice cube being poured with hot water.

The students sitting in the front row leaned back, fearing that they would be affected.

Moody waved his wand again, returning the podium to its original state.

"Anything else? Who knows other spells?"

Everyone raised their hands again and he pointed at someone at random.

"Horned Curse!"

"Just barely," said Moody, "but this spell is more of a restricted curse. It's not illegal as long as it doesn't cause harm."

"I know one, Professor." Someone else said, "The Grimfire Curse."

“The standard answer.”

…

"Skull Expansion Curse!"

"very good."

…

The atmosphere in the classroom had been completely aroused. The students no longer seemed to be afraid of Moody's scarred face, and began to raise their hands to answer questions.

However, among these people, some really knew it, some heard it from hearsay, and some directly made up a spell on the spot...but it was exposed by Moody on the spot.

When the atmosphere seemed to be calm, Professor Moody clapped his hands again, signaling everyone to put their hands down.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." He said, "These dark magics, without exception, can bring great trouble to people. Logically, I should teach you all kinds of counteracting spells at this time. Whether it is the regulations of the Ministry of Magic or the textbooks, it says so, but I don't think so.

I think the most effective way to break a curse is to prevent the enemy's black magic from hitting you, so I decided to teach you the simplest and most common defense method in the first class!"

He turned his head and quickly wrote a few large words on the blackboard, but everyone knew that at this moment his magic eye must be observing them through the back of his head.

So no one dared to whisper to each other at this time, and everyone sat upright.

"The Shield Charm is the most effective means of defense. A wizard who is proficient in the Shield Charm can resist 90% of the dark magic. At the same time, this spell is also the entry requirement for Aurors.

If any of you want to be an Auror after graduation, you must remember that only those who can master the Shield Charm can take the subsequent Auror assessment. Otherwise, even if you get all the certificates, you will be rejected. "

Some people immediately took out their quills and began to take notes seriously.

"Professor..." At this time, someone raised his hand and asked, "Can the Shield Charm resist the Killing Curse?"

Moody's magic eye turned and looked at the man.

"In theory, it is possible," he said, "but the Killing Curse is very special. It not only contains magic power, but also the malice in people's hearts. This is the key to the Killing Curse. And this malice is much more terrible than magic power, so it often requires several times the magic power of the opponent to use the Shield Charm to block the Killing Curse.

The difference is like you using the Killing Curse against me... To be honest, it is not only meaningless, but also stupid. Because you don't know if your opponent is really as bad as they appear.

So when facing the Killing Curse, the best way is to dodge it, not resist it..."

The rustling sound of feather pens writing could be heard again in the classroom.

Although this was something that higher grades needed to learn, Moody did not stop them from taking notes. Instead, he waited quietly.

After everyone had finished writing, he waved his wand, and lines of small words appeared on the blackboard, along with a wand gesture diagram.

It clearly shows the changes in hand gestures required to cast the Shield Charm, as well as the direction and amplitude of the wand swings.

"This is homework," said Moody. "It is also the armor spell technique I summarized. I ask you to write them all down. We will practice them in the next class. If anyone's theory is a mess..."

He grinned, and all the scars on his face were squeezed together, making him look even more terrifying.

"Believe me, you will regret it later.

Of course, I know some of you will not care about this, but it doesn’t matter, I will tell the treatment room in the school hospital in advance and ask her to prepare a few beds for you…”

The classroom was completely silent. For the rest of the class, everyone was busy copying notes from the blackboard. No one spoke until the bell rang...

Moody limped out of the classroom, the thumping sound of his wooden leg on the ground becoming farther and farther away until it disappeared.

In an instant, all kinds of discussions arose.

Except for a few students who expressed concerns, most of them were excited and just wanted to get to Friday quickly, because that was the only day they would have the second Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"He's really good, isn't he?" After leaving the classroom, Mikkel looked at the parchment with words written on it and said:

"He is well versed in all kinds of dark magic. He was able to discover my story even though it was so realistic... It seems that not everyone is just famous like Lockhart."

Kyle glanced at him, somewhat hesitant about whether to tell Mikkel that the so-called "clearing spell" he made up actually had another name, called "cleansing spell."

Making whatever the magic wand points at disappear instantly, isn't that the same as cleaning up?

Just like the Transfiguration Charm cannot conjure up food, the Cleansing Charm is also ineffective against any object that contains life. Not to mention Moody, even if it were any wizard with a little common sense, they would know that this was made up.

Otherwise, the Killing Curse should have been ranked second on the list long ago. After all, in terms of convenience, it is far behind.
