There are nearly a hundred related books, simple but useful magic props, and instruments specially used to test the power of spells. Professionalism is revealed in every corner.

In Kyle's opinion, this is what a Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom should look like.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and Ginny, Neville and several Gryffindor students also arrived.

After that, until eight o'clock, people kept coming in from outside.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw Kyle in the room.

"Oh, you never said that before..." Parvati from Gryffindor whispered to Hermione, "If she had known Kyle was here, Padma would have come too."

"I just found out about this, too." Hermione couldn't remember how many times she had explained this, "He had rejected our invitation before, and I thought he wouldn't come."

Hermione had to admit that after the various events of the past few years, especially after the Triwizard Tournament, Kyle's fame in Hogwarts had reached an incredible height.

This is also the reason why when she decided to teach herself Defense Against the Dark Arts, the first person she thought of was to ask Kyle to teach everyone Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kyle's name is a golden sign. If he had been present at the previous party, there would definitely be more people joining than now.

Unfortunately, Kyle refused at that time.

At eight o'clock, Hermione took out the list and checked it, and found that everyone was there.

Cedric walked to the door and turned the key in the lock, making a crisp click.

If someone was outside at this time, they would find that the door that was originally there suddenly disappeared and turned into a wall again, as if it had never appeared.

In the room, everyone sat on a soft cushion and talked to each other. Because it was the first time for them to come to such a magical room, everyone's emotions were very high.

"Well, this is where we will practice next." Cedric said, "There are almost all the books on Defense Against the Dark Arts here, and you can pick some that you are interested in.

"Of course, let's forget about it now. We have limited time, so we should focus on practice."

After all, he was the president of the Boys' Student Union. Cedric quickly adapted to his current identity and talked freely in front of more than fifty people without a trace of nervousness on his face.

"Well, let's start our first day of practice... the Leg Locking Curse. I know this spell is quite basic, many people know it, and even more people use it as a prank spell.

"If that's the case, then you've underestimated this spell. When facing an enemy, the Leg Locking Curse can restrict the opponent's movements in the shortest possible time, thus buying yourself time to escape."

"I don't want to learn how to escape!" A voice came from the crowd, "This is too unmotivated. Why can't we learn some powerful spells?"

"Because you are not facing a classmate from Hogwarts, nor is it a duel that follows etiquette, but an unknown adult wizard," Cedric said.

"Until you are sure of victory, running away is the wisest choice, and no one will look down on you for that."

"So what if we're adult wizards?" the man said unconvincedly, "We may not have no chance of winning. Don't forget, Kyle defeated a werewolf when he was in second grade."

There was another round of discussion in the room.

Indeed, the first time Kyle made a sensation at Hogwarts was when he defeated a werewolf and was awarded the Order of Merlin.

At that time, he was just a second-year student...and the youngest people here were third-year students.

"That's because there were two professors present at the time." Kyle said lightly.

This was also the first time he spoke after everyone arrived.

"Honestly, if I had to choose again, I would rather not have the Order of Merlin than face a transformed werewolf alone."

The man mumbled something incoherently. Although no one knew what he said, it was clear that he did not believe Kyle's words.

"Well, since you think you can surpass Kyle, how about we do a small test?" Cedric said with a smile, "See if you have the potential to defeat an adult wizard."

"What test?"

"It's easy." Cedric stood up and stepped onto the cushions.

"I only use one magic. If you can get my feet off the cushion, you win. How about that?"

"No problem!" The man also stood up.

Kyle remembered that his name seemed to be Anthony Goldstein, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student.

"What if I win?" he asked.

"Then I will teach you a powerful offensive magic." Cedric said.

He waved his wand.

"Thunder explosion! With a loud bang, a large wardrobe in the room was instantly blown into pieces in the flames. The strong wind wave carried dust and wood chips and blew towards everyone.

I don't know when a big hole appeared on the ground, but it disappeared soon.

Such a magical scene did not attract many people's attention. Everyone's thoughts were still lingering on the shock brought by the blasting spell in the previous second.

"How about this spell?" Cedric said, "Is it a powerful offensive magic?"

"I'll give you another reward." Kyle also said.

He took out a handful of gold coins and placed them on the table. "If you win, these fifty Galleons are yours."

The golden Galleons piled together brought an impact force slightly greater than the blasting spell just now.

Seeing this, the others immediately came to the side and made enough space for the two of them.

"Wait..." Anthony seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, "You can't use this spell for a while."

"Death Eaters won't negotiate with you." Cedric said, "But this time I agree."

No one said start, but the battle was about to break out.

Anthony had just begun to chant the spell when Cedric had already completed his.

He waved his wand, and the wooden blocks on the ground immediately twisted and turned into stoats, which screamed and rushed towards Anthony.

Then, the battle was over.

Anthony only had time to deal with two stoats before his wand-holding hand was bitten.

The wand fell to the ground, which naturally announced his failure.

"Unfortunately, it seems that you have no chance of defeating an adult wizard."

Cedric waved his wand again, and the swarm of ferrets immediately turned back into splinters of wood.

Now, everyone was silent. They had thought Anthony would fail, but they didn't expect him to lose so quickly.

At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Cedric.

Originally, everyone only knew that he was an excellent male student union president, and at most a Hufflepuff Quidditch captain.

But now, they discovered that this male student union president seemed to have more than just good academic performance.

The Transfiguration spell just now was so wonderful, more than a dozen wooden blocks were transformed at the same time, without any pause in between, and each ferret after the transformation was vivid and lifelike, as if it were real.

Now, everyone's eyes on Cedric changed, and they finally understood why he was the one teaching everyone to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts by themselves.

But then they thought of another problem.

Aren't all Hufflepuffs mediocre? Is there something wrong?

Kyle is fine, but now there is Cedric... If this is all mediocrity, then what are they, trash? Even Hermione was surprised.

Although she could also transform more than a dozen objects at the same time, it would definitely not be as easy as Cedric.

And judging from the ease with which he handled it just now, this is definitely not his limit.

No wonder Kyle recommended Cedric...

On the other side, Anthony looked at the pile of glittering golden Galleons on the table. Although he was unwilling, he still sighed, picked up his wand and sat back down.

But the next second, more people stood up.

There was no way, the temptation of that pile of Galleons was too great, and they couldn't help but want to try it.

What if, what if they can defeat Cedric... Anyway, if they lose, they won't have to pay any price, but if they win, that would be fifty Galleons.

It's just a Transfiguration spell. As long as you are prepared, it doesn't seem that difficult to deal with.

In the crowd, Ron couldn't wait to launch a challenge.

"Don't worry."

Kyle waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then he smiled and said, "I will not take back the Garlons. As long as this place is not disbanded, the reward will remain valid.

"Each of you has one chance to challenge Cedric. If you win, you can take these Galleons. But remember, you only have one chance."

Before Kyle finished speaking, the person who had just stood up sat back down in an instant.

If there is only one chance, it is better to be safe... learn a few more spells, defeat him with what Cedric taught him, and then take the Galleon.

There were excited discussions all around, but Anthony let out a painful groan...his chance was up.

After that, things went much more smoothly.

Cedric divided everyone into groups of two and had them work together to practice the Leg-Locking Spell. Under Garlon's temptation, everyone worked extra hard to learn, and some people were even more serious than before the final exam.

Cedric was very busy. Someone called him almost every second, and he had to move among the crowd and correct their wrong gestures.

"Hermione, do you think my gestures are correct?" Ron frowned as he looked at Neville, whose legs were stretched straight, and said, "Why do I feel like his legs can still move?"

"Because you're moving your wand the wrong way," said Hermione. "Make it a little more subtle. Just move your wrist, not your arm."

"Okay, I'll try again." This was the first time Ron was so obedient and didn't refute her at all.

This made Hermione couldn't help but slap her forehead, thinking that Garlon's magic power was really great.
