Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Understood!" Neville said, nodding firmly, then grabbed his vine-wood wand and charged forward.

"Ga!"

The little skeleton opposite him saw the approaching enemy, and two red lights immediately lit up in its eyes as it roared and rushed to meet him.

Neville wasn't careless when he saw this, and he launched the first attack. He started by sweeping his wand hard to the right, and when he saw his opponent raise its shield to defend, he quickly retracted the move and attacked to the left.

But the skeleton in front of him reacted quickly, swiftly drawing its sword to block Neville's attack. It then cleverly pushed forward with its shield, trying to knock Neville back.

However, Neville's response was also very timely. He immediately jumped back a step, and then he swung his wand, using the distance advantage to launch a series of stormy strikes.

Faced with Neville's airtight offensive, the skeleton swordsman was very calm, directly employing a wave of turtle-like defense, not allowing Neville's attacks to injure its main body.

"This skeleton has thin arms and legs, but I didn't expect it to be so strong!" Neville thought to himself, secretly marveling after several rounds of continuous attacks.

Then he suddenly shifted the focus of his attack, directly attempting a low sweep to attack his opponent's lower body. Unexpectedly, this immediately worked, and the skeleton swordsman clearly didn't react in time, its legs instantly breaking and collapsing to the ground.

"Nice knockout, Neville!" Ron, whose friend on the platform outside had defeated his opponent, immediately cheered excitedly.

However, Neville stood nervously on the spot, then awkwardly looked at Anduin, "Sorry, Professor, I used a little too much force and broke its legs."

"It doesn't matter," Anduin said, shaking his head dismissively. "What do you think of this melee skeleton?"

"Um," Neville lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "Its strength and speed are both good. I feel like it's already stronger than some first-year students, but its combat thinking seems a bit rigid. Suddenly changing attack strategies can catch it off guard."

"I understand." Anduin nodded in satisfaction, then drew a clipboard and wrote something on it.

Then he looked at Neville again, "This is just a Type 1 [Animated Skeleton]. Next, you need to face Type 1 plus Type 2, so prepare yourself."

After Anduin finished speaking, the skeleton swordsman in front of Neville stretched out its legs, and then the two broken sections of its legs reconnected like magnets. At the same time, a skeleton soldier holding a metal spear jumped down from the side, and the two faced Neville together.

Seeing that this kind of skeleton construct could actually reattach severed limbs, everyone couldn't help but marvel. They didn't expect that even this kind of seemingly weak construct had its own special features.

With the number of enemies increasing to two, Neville's response was not as easy as before. When he was facing a single skeleton warrior, he could basically completely control the initiative, and the opponent could only defend passively.

Now the two skeletons actually began to cooperate with each other, with the shield-wielding swordsman at the front and the spear-wielding skeleton lurking behind, so Neville became the defender for a while.

However, this kind of skeleton construct still had its limitations. Neville constantly used tricks and feints, and after a period of stalemate, he still managed to take down these two skeleton soldiers.

"Good job, next we'll add a Type 3 Animated Skeleton, be careful!" Anduin signaled to Alpha next to him, and then another skeleton soldier jumped down from the shelf.

This skeleton soldier was actually holding a longbow, with a quiver hanging at its waist. Obviously, this was a skeleton with ranged attack capabilities.

"Facing three skeletons, am I only allowed to use melee?" Neville looked at Anduin with some difficulty. He was already struggling when facing two skeletons just now.

"For the current melee test, just use melee weapons to deal with them. If you really can't resist, don't force yourself." Anyway, it was just testing the strength and intelligence of the constructs, Anduin said indifferently.

"Understood!" Neville nodded solemnly, then resolutely went up to meet them.

Then, naturally, he was gloriously defeated.

Facing a three-skeleton squad with ranged attacks, Neville really couldn't handle it alone. These three skeleton soldiers actually had complete coordinated combat instructions. Neville couldn't even counterattack, and was unilaterally beaten the entire time.

"I didn't expect these seemingly ordinary skeletons to have such strong combat power when they cooperate!" Hermione watched the trio with surprise, while also calculating how to deal with them.

"This is just the simplest coordinated combat. You will also learn corresponding subjects in the future." Anduin smiled and looked at Hermione. "Okay, next it's your turn. This time, you are allowed to use your wand in unrestricted combat."

"Yes, Professor!" Hermione nodded excitedly, then stepped forward with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

"Be careful!" Neville, who had been defeated, didn't forget to remind her at this time, "That archer can also perform predictive shots, so be careful when dodging."

Hermione nodded calmly, then decisively drew her wand.

When the three skeleton soldiers saw a new enemy appear, they quickly deployed their formation. The shield-wielding skeleton stood at the front, the spear-wielding skeleton guarded the rear, and the archer hid a few meters away from them.

"Expelliarmus!"

Hermione tried to strike first, aiming at the shield-wielding skeleton at the front and firing a Disarming Charm.

However, the skeleton soldier reacted quickly, quickly raising its shield to block the speeding spell. Then it slowly but firmly pressed towards Hermione step by step, while the archer at the rear also began to launch parabolic shots.

Faced with this oppressive offensive, Hermione remained very calm. She quickly dodged the incoming arrow, and then quickly fired several of her signature spells.

But this kind of straightforward spell attack posed almost no threat to the shield-wielding skeleton, and Hermione's spell strength was not enough to break the shield. Seeing the trio getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"I can't be limited to simple head-on attacks, I have to move!" Hermione remembered Anduin's teachings and secretly made a plan.

Just as the three skeletons were only a few meters away from her, Hermione dodged another parabolic shot and actually charged forward instead of retreating.

Seeing that the opponent dared to get close, the shield-wielding skeleton at the front drew its sword and slashed, but this was exactly what Hermione wanted.

Just as the skeleton soldier swung its long sword, Hermione immediately lowered her center of gravity, calmly and carefully dodging the slash. Then she quickly extended her wand, taking advantage of the opponent's attack interval to cast a spell.

"Bluebell Flames!"

Hermione spoke quickly, but extremely accurately recited the incantation. Then a ball of blue, bellflower-like magical flames instantly formed, hitting the shield-wielding skeleton at the front solidly.

This 'Bluebell Flames Curse' was a rare spell she had learned from a certain magic book. The flames created by this magic were actually no different from ordinary flames, but because of its special color and shape, Hermione especially liked it, so she mastered this spell very skillfully.

The effect of the spell was also very obvious. The skeleton soldier at the very front was directly ignited, and then it fell down crookedly.

Seeing this, the spear-wielding skeleton at the rear quickly stepped forward to fill the gap, and prepared to use a strong attack to interrupt Hermione's subsequent offensive, giving the archer behind it time.

But Hermione was not stupid. The moment she hit the shield-wielding skeleton, she neatly pulled away, and then began to use spells to unilaterally slaughter the remaining two unprotected skeleton soldiers.

Before long, the three skeleton soldiers lay quietly on the ground like three charred corpses.

"Wow!" Seeing Hermione brutally kill the three skeletons, Ron swallowed in surprise. He didn't expect that in just half a day, her methods had become so ruthless. It seemed that the black wizard attack in the morning had indeed brought her a lot of stimulation.

"Good job." Anduin next to him praised her appreciatively. Every battle showed improvement, which was very rare.

"Thank you, Professor." Hermione was actually so excited that she was about to jump up, but she still maintained her composure in front of Anduin. Although this battle was very short, it allowed her to regain her confidence, and she had a clearer understanding of wizard duels.

"Professor, are there fourth and fifth types of skeletons next, or are we going to form teams to fight?" Hermione was already addicted to fighting at this point, so she asked impatiently.

"No..." Anduin poured a bucket of cold water on her without mercy. "The testing of [Animated Skeletons] ends here. Next is another project, [Animated Armor]!"

"Animated Armor?"

Everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves, and then they saw a blue light suddenly light up inside an empty suit of iron plate armor on the shelf next to them. The light shone through its face, neck, shoulders, and other joints.

Then the armor suddenly stood up as if it had come to life. The sound of its heavy steel plates hitting the ground, as well as the sound of them rubbing against each other, made it seem like the vengeful soul of a fallen knight. At the same time, it dragged a greatsword and slowly walked out of the shelf, leisurely moving to the center of the platform.

"Crush and death!"

After the armor stood still, it suddenly shouted loudly. The hoarse sound like metal friction made everyone else in the room tremble. This guy looked much more intimidating than the skeletons just now.

"Am I going to fight this guy next?" Hermione stared in horror at the magical armor in front of her. The light coming out of the helmet looked like fierce eyes, making it incredibly creepy.

"No, this is not something a first-year student can deal with. Its opponent is Fred." After saying that, Anduin looked at Fred with a smile, "George One, it's your time to shine."
