Chapter 123 Teaching

Mike chatted with Professor Flitwick until the evening. It had been a long time since Mike left Professor Flitwick's house.

Flitwick was obviously in a good mood and invited Mike to have dinner with him in his office at dinner time. Mike, who had been curious about the Hogwarts teacher's meal for a long time, agreed without hesitation.

When the house elves brought the exquisite food to Professor Flitwick's office, Mike was deeply grateful for his decision. Wellington steak, bacon cream mushroom soup..., the delicacies made Mike almost swallow his tongue into his stomach.

After the meal, Mike patted his belly and continued to chat with Professor Flitwick for a while. The two went to the auditorium together.

The auditorium at this time has changed a lot compared to noon. The long tables of the four major colleges in the auditorium have disappeared, and replaced by a huge stage in the center of the auditorium. Countless candles are suspended above the stage, and with the stars on the ceiling, the entire stage is bright.

The hall was crowded with people, and every little wizard had an excited smile on his face, but strangely, they didn't seem to be interested in the stage in the center of the hall, but instead gathered in a corner of the hall.

Mike stood on tiptoe and took a closer look. A huge magic banner was flying in the center of the crowd, with a few big words on it: Duel Club Registration Office.

As a seeded player of Ravenclaw, Mike had been guaranteed to enter the quarterfinals, so he naturally didn't need to squeeze into the crowd to register at this time, but this didn't stop him from going to see the excitement.

When he got closer, he saw that several staff members wearing orange armbands on their shoulders in the center of the crowd were sweating and registering the little wizards in the long queue in front of them. Franklin and Penelope were also in the crowd, and their positions were quite forward. It was their turn to register soon. After a long time

, it was their turn. When they excitedly handed over the application form and silver Sickle that they had filled out long ago, they were surprised to find that the staff member who registered for them was Hermione.

Hermione, who was so busy that she was exhausted, also looked gloomy when she saw Franklin and Penelope. Fortunately, Hermione was not the kind of person who abused her power. She still took the application forms and silver Sickles from the two people according to the rules, and handed them each a sleeve badge with their names written on it.

At this time, fierce music came from the center of the auditorium, and everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

"Welcome everyone to the first practical teaching site of the duel club!" Lockhart said in a gorgeous purple robe standing in the center of the stage, "Next, Professor Flitwick and I will bring you a real wizard duel!"

As soon as the voice fell, the students gathered at the registration office exclaimed and rushed to the stage quickly. Everyone wanted to find a good viewing position. The registration office was suddenly empty. Hermione and other staff wiped the sweat from their heads and exhaled deeply.

Compared with Lockhart's showy appearance, Professor Flitwick's appearance was much more plain.

Professor Flitwick was still wearing the robe he wore when he had dinner with Mike. He waved his wand slightly, and he didn't say any spells. A big stone hand stretched out from the stone floor of the hall and lifted him up, and gently placed him on the stage.

What surprised Mike was that Lockhart didn't say a lot of pretentious nonsense like in the original book. Seeing that both sides had finished their appearances, Lockhart made a pose that he thought was very handsome amid the cheers of the crowd below the stage, and announced the official start of the duel.

Lockhart and Flitwick walked together, bowed to each other, and then pulled away.

Professor Flitwick's short stature was very funny when he made such a gesture, but none of the young wizards at the scene dared to laugh, because they knew that the short figure on the stage was once a well-known duel champion, and his petite body hid a terrifying and powerful force.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, Lockhart and Flitwick raised their wands in front of them like swords. Then a huge number emitting white light appeared above the stage: 3.

3, 2, 1, "Bang!"

The number 1 in the air exploded with a loud noise. At the same time, the two people on the stage also moved. Professor Flitwick slowly waved his wand in the air, drew a standard disarming spell release sigils, and recited the spell word by word.

Lockhart on the other side also made similar movements, but he released the armor protection.

Mike could see that Professor Flitwick was deliberately letting him win. With the silent casting he used when he went on stage, how could he still need to chant spells and draw standard sigils to release a disarming spell, not to mention that the movements were so slow.

You have to know that Mike had practiced with Professor Flitwick many times during the summer vacation. Professor Flitwick was like a spell machine gun at that time. He didn't chant spells or wave his wand, but all kinds of spells would gush out from that wand.

As Flitwick finished releasing, a plain red light was emitted.

Facing Professor Flitwick's Disarming Charm, Lockhart didn't react at all, and the Disarming Charm was instantly imprinted on his chest. Lockhart showed a confident smile on his face. He had already discussed it with Professor Flitwick, so the power of the Disarming Charm Flitwick used would not be very strong.

Moreover, he had already used the armor protection, and believed that he would be safe and sound under the protection of the protection charm. However,

at the moment when the red light exploded, Lockhart's confident smile froze on his face.

"Hua La La..."

A sound similar to glass breaking came, and the transparent protective shield on Lockhart's body shattered instantly. The impact force generated by the collision between the Disarming Charm and the Armor Protection completely acted on Lockhart's chest, knocking him out.

There was a cry of surprise from the audience, and Professor Flitwick was also stunned. He never expected that Lockhart's armor protection would be so weak that it couldn't even block his release attack.

"I... cough, I'm fine." Lockhart said as he got up from the ground in a panic. "Professor Flitwick is worthy of being the dueling champion. His strength is so terrifying!"

He stood up slowly, pressed his chest and rested for a while before continuing, "You also saw that Professor Flitwick just used the Disarming Charm. As the name suggests, this is a spell that can make the opponent lose his weapon. And the way to deal with it is also very simple. Just put on a piece of armor to protect yourself."

Most of the young wizards in the lower grades looked at Flitwick and Lockhart in admiration, while the senior students all showed contempt. They didn't understand what had just happened.

"It's still early. Let's let the members of the dueling club practice in the next period of time." Lockhart coughed awkwardly twice, and at the same time cast a pleading look at Professor Flitwick.

Lockhart couldn't hold on any longer. If Flitwick insisted on continuing, he would be embarrassed to his grandmother's house this time.
