Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

After finishing the first lesson on combat postures, Anduin led everyone back to the large playground outside the shooting range, and then asked everyone to sit down in a large circle while he explained to them in the circle.

"After the shooting training just now, everyone must have the most basic impression of the spell casting posture, concealment, and observation during combat. Next, I will teach you another commonly used combat technique, 'parry'!"

"Come on...Cedric, try to cast a disarming spell on me." Anduin called Cedric into the circle and said.

"Yes, Professor." Cedric nodded obediently, then stood five or six meters away from Anduin, "Expelliarmus!"

Cedric applied the fighting posture he had just learned, and quickly raised his hand to shoot a precise disarming spell.

The young wizards who were watching this actual battle also discovered another feature of the spell-casting technique they had just learned.

That's because the action is quick and the spell is not cast after aiming in advance, resulting in an extremely sudden attack that makes it difficult for normal wizards to react quickly.

But this time, Cedric was facing Anduin. He acted very calmly at this time. He didn't even take immediate action after the spell appeared. Instead, he waited for the magic bullet of the disarming spell to fly close to him before suddenly raising his hand.

With his hand, he flicked the wand and the disarming spell flew away.

"Continue!" Anduin did not stop after getting rid of the curse. "Try to speed up the forward swing or even displacement of the spell. The more unexpected the attack, the better!"

"It's Professor!" Cedric saw that his attack did not pose any threat to Anduin, and he was aroused to be competitive. Then he fired the spell one after another, and even moved flexibly in one direction, etc.

After firing seven or eight magic spells in succession, he even arrived behind Anduin.

But his attacks were obviously not enough in front of Anduin. Anduin just kept turning sideways in the direction of Cedric, and then accurately and quickly blocked and deflected the spells fired by the opponent. From the beginning to the end,

No spells were cast, all he used was the wand in his hand.

"Okay, it's almost done. You go back and sit down first." Anduin nodded to Cedric with satisfaction, and then looked at everyone, "You should have seen clearly what I just did. Everyone, tell me what you think."

Bar."

"When you faced Cedric's attack just now, it seems you didn't cast a spell. You just relied on your wand to deflect the attack spell!"

"I've seen this trick before. My father is an Auror. When he practiced with his teammates, he could block spells without using protective spells."

"Is this the parry you are talking about, Professor? Then we don't have to learn the Iron Armor Curse?"

The little wizards were talking to each other. The defensive skills used by Anduin were not surprising in the eyes of some people. After all, it was not an original technique.

But more young wizards still showed enough curiosity, because in their impression, if they want to defend themselves, they mainly rely on protective spells such as the Iron Armor Curse, but the Iron Armor Curse cannot be learned until the sixth grade.

"Yes, this defensive technique using only the wand is 'parry'." Anduin nodded, "It is generally more common in wizard duels. In the eyes of wizards who often duel, it is not a superb skill, but you

It’s still difficult to learn.”

"So don't think that this technique is very easy just because I looked relatively relaxed when I blocked the curse."

"First of all, although parrying techniques do not require casting spells, it does not mean that magic is not used. Among the equipment actions for parrying, the first step is to infuse magic into the wand."

After saying that, Anduin gently raised the wand, "If you just hold the wand blankly, it will be no different from a dead object. Let's try to do this step first."

The little wizards nodded in understanding after hearing the words, then took out their wands and tried to mobilize the magic power to attach to the wands.

This method of mobilizing magic power without casting spells requires a certain foundation in magic perception. For example, junior wizards in grades 1 and 2 who have just received a wand will comb and stabilize the magic power in their bodies.

Therefore, faced with magic that is more stable than in childhood, these children will form a "perception gap" and it will become very difficult to control the magic.

Therefore, even young wizards like Harry, who have a high magic sensitivity attribute, will stumble when casting spells. They have not yet gotten used to the magic power in their bodies that has just been combed by the wand.

After two years of study, the third-grade wizard has basically become accustomed to the stable magic power in his body. In addition, he has also entered a stage of rapid physiological development, and his magic power will be more active than before. Therefore, this level of magic control is very important for him.

It shouldn't be a problem for them.

Sure enough, after trying for a few minutes, these little wizards completed the operation one after another, and then looked at Anduin excitedly.

"Very good, maintaining magic output is the basis for parrying." Anduin nodded with satisfaction, "The next thing you need to do is to use the magic wand to parry the defensive spell. There are two key points, one is accuracy.

, one is timing!”

"The so-called precision means that when the curse strikes, your movements must be able to accurately follow up and hit the curse, and the timing is even simpler. Parrying too early or too late will lead to failure."

"Cedric, I still need to ask you to cooperate." Anduin called softly, and then Cedric immediately stood on the opposite side with understanding.

"Next, I will cast the spell at a slower speed. You try to bounce my spell away. Remember to focus on one point and increase the magic output at the moment of parrying. The feeling will be the same as casting the spell.

When the spell is about done, just imagine throwing out the pure magic power."

Anduin explained briefly, and then cast a very weak disarming spell.

Although this curse was not very fast in terms of strength or speed, compared to Anduin, the curse that struck in front of Cedric almost flashed by.

However, Cedric remembered Anduin's instructions and kept his eyes fixed on the incoming curse. Then when the curse was about to approach him, he quickly raised his hand and flicked the magic wand full of magic.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Cedric's wand flew high, but he held his wrist tightly. It was obvious that the parry just now was not successful, and the back of his hand was even hurt by the curse.

Cedric caught the disarmed wand, and then looked at Anduin with some shame, "Sorry, Professor, I didn't succeed. My movements seemed to be slow."

"There is no need to blame yourself. You have performed very well. You have mastered the timing of parry very well, but your actions cannot keep up with your own eyes." Anduin pointed out the opponent's problem to the point.

"I understand, professor, do we have to try again?" Cedric pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then cheered up again.

"Practice it once so that you can understand the key points of parrying movements. Next, I will prepare other practice methods for you." Anduin turned his head after saying that, "Follow me to the training room 6. There are

Automatic spell caster."

"Training room No. 6? Automatic spell caster?" George smacked his lips in wonder, "Brother Anduin has so many good things in his hands. He only uses more classrooms than other professors, and it's all by himself.

Covered!”

"That's Brother Anduin, the most active alchemist master in the wizarding world today." Fred smiled and put his hand on George's shoulder, "I guess we won't be bored with him here."

"But I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a lot." George sighed helplessly.

The crowd didn't walk long before following Anduin into a semicircular building dozens of meters away from the shooting range. The building didn't look too big from the outside, and was shaped like a round bowl buckled downward.

But when everyone entered, they discovered that there was something else going on inside. Inside the door was a very large circular venue that could easily accommodate hundreds of people.

At the same time, there were some strange metal boxes floating in the sky. These boxes looked about the same size as fruit crates, and a round tube the size of a baseball protruded from one side.

After leading everyone into the venue, Anduin waved his hand gently, and then a metal box was lowered from the top, and then like a baseball pitching machine, it spit out a ball with a light blue light.

"This prop is called a simple magic bullet." Anduin showed it to everyone after catching the blue ball. "Its structure is a special colloid filled with a low amount of pure magic power. Since it is basically composed of magic power,

Similar to magic spells, which can be affected by wands and spells, but because the magic power is extremely low, it is basically harmless, and it does not hurt very much if it hits people."

After saying that, Anduin swung the ball in his hand hard and hit George's head, who was whispering to Fred.

After this magic bullet hit George, it exploded like a soap bubble and then dissipated in the air.

After George was hit, he immediately covered his forehead in pain, "Didn't you say it was harmless? Why does it hurt so much?"

"Then it can only mean that your physical fitness is too poor and you need to practice more after you return." Anduin glared at the other party coldly. He would not tell George that he had just strengthened himself.

"As for the floating instruments above your heads, they are automatic spell casters that can fire simple magic bullets at any force, speed, and angle. Let me demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, Anduin asked everyone to disperse, and then these young wizards saw seven or eight automatic spell casters descending around him at the same time, and pointed their barrels at Anduin.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a crisp 'bang' sound, these spell casters fired magic bullets at Anduin at different angles and distances.
