The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

Hogwarts Castle is huge, but not much is actually used.

Andy and Cedric found an empty classroom and sneaked in using the unlocking spell.

"Andy, do you know the Iron Armor Charm?" Cedric asked.

Andy nodded and said, "I've mastered it, but I'm not very good at using it yet."

Cedric didn't say anything after hearing this.

The two stood opposite each other, leaving a distance of five meters between them.

Although wizards are a long-range profession, their attack range is not comparable to modern weapons, not even ancient crossbows.

To be honest, if the power of wizards did not come from humans themselves, and many magics are extremely magical, Andy would have gone to start a business in the Muggle world and become a capitalist.

The magical world is closed, conservative, and backward. Many concepts are still stuck a few centuries ago. I have no ambition myself, and I don't know how those pure-blood families have the right to look down on Muggles.

"let's start!"

Andy held the wand. Seeing that Cedric had no intention of taking action first, Andy waved the wand to cast the Iron Armor Curse on himself.

"Armor protection!"

A magic shield was added, and Andy pointed his wand at Cedric.

"Collapse!"

Cedric's reaction was extremely fast. The moment Andy launched the attack, Cedric also blessed himself with the Iron Armor Curse.

"Armor protection!"

The Iron Armor Spell can build an invisible wall around the caster, which can reflect most spells.

Except for the killing curse.

In combat, the Iron Armor Curse is a very practical magic that is very difficult to learn. Even many adult wizards have not mastered this magic.

This shows the quality of teaching at Hogwarts.

Andy also learned the Iron Armor Curse after practicing hard for a long time.

Cedric is only in the third grade, and he can master the Iron Armor Curse, which shows that he has worked hard at it.

However, for duel novices, the Iron Armor Curse is actually easy to break.

boom!

The magic beam hit the transparent armor, and Andy immediately felt a strong repulsive force.

Holding the wand tightly, Andy increased the magic output.

That's right, the easiest way to break the Iron Armor Curse for novice combatants is to 'counter waves' with the opponent.

Andy can continue to use the Stunning Curse, but Cedric cannot continue to use the Iron Armor Curse. It is necessary to continuously output magic power, and the iron armor curse can be easily broken.

This is a tip Helen gave Andy over the Christmas holidays.

Cedric obviously didn't expect Andy to use such a tactic, but he only panicked for a moment and thought of a way to break this tactic.

That is to fight attack with attack.

But it was obviously too late at this moment.

As soon as Cedric raised his wand and pointed it at Andy, his armor spell was broken by Andy, and he was sent flying backwards.

boom!

A soft sound.

Andy cracked his mouth, it really hurt!

"The curse stops immediately!"

After removing the magic, Cedric slowly opened his eyes and shook his head to wake himself up.

"Are you okay?" Andy asked.

"fine!"

Cedric said a little embarrassedly: "I was careless this time."

"Are you coming again?" Andy asked.

"Of course!" Cedric didn't hesitate.

Part of the reason for being unconvinced was that Cedric found this exercise very useful. If it hadn't been for today's practice, Cedric wouldn't have realized his shortcomings.

In fact, if Cedric hadn't underestimated the enemy and let Andy use two magics first, Andy would not have fought against him.

If Andy doesn't have the Iron Armor Curse to protect him, Cedric only needs to backhand attack Andy before his Iron Armor Curse is broken, and Andy will be the passive one.

Therefore, this tactic can only be used against newbies in duels.

"Come again!"

After the two of them stood, Cedric became more serious.

It was enough to be defeated once by a junior who was two years younger. If he was defeated continuously, Cedric felt that he didn't have to mess around anymore.

Then……

When Cedric was once again defeated by Andy's petrification spell, he had begun to doubt life.

"The curse stops immediately!"

Andy lifted the magic, "Let's take a rest first!"

Cedric sat on the ground and looked at Andy in disbelief, "Andy, have you practiced dueling before?"

"No!" Andy said without blushing or heart beating.

What I have achieved today is all due to my own talent and has nothing to do with hard work.

"You're awesome too."

Andy told the truth, "Your reaction speed is very fast. I only rely on some small skills to defeat you."

Although he won against Cedric, Andy did not become arrogant because of it.

If Andy is the magic player, then Cedric is the athletic player.

He is the Seeker of the Hufflepuff team, and his eyesight and reflexes are far superior to Andy's. If Andy and Helen hadn't practiced dueling, Andy would be the loser today.

Even now, after Cedric has become familiar with Andy's tricks, Andy doesn't think he can beat Cedric.

"Your spell is stronger than mine."

Cedric praised: "It's hard to imagine that you are still a first-year wizard."

Andy shrugged, "A duel involves more than just magic."

Andy's magical attainments definitely surpassed Cedric's. Although Cedric was two years older than Andy, he was not like Andy who had to practice magic for several hours every day.

However, duels are about more than just magical attainments.

Andy suddenly felt envious of athletic players like Cedric and Harry.

They only need to master a few combat magics, and then they can outperform most people with their extraordinary eyesight and reflexes.

"Even if my reflexes are faster than yours, it will be difficult to break your armor spell." Cedric also admired Andy.

Cedric has also heard some gossip about Andy. When he is not in class, Andy is either reading in the library or finding a classroom to practice magic.

For nearly a year, Andy never changed his daily routine.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

In the third grade, Cedric was among the best students, but he could only master magic and had never practiced as hard as Andy.

"Andy, after graduation, do you want to be an Auror?" Cedric suddenly asked.

"No! Why do you ask?" Andy asked.

"I saw that you were practicing magic hard and studying dueling skills, so I thought you wanted to be an Auror," Cedric said.

In his mind, only Aurors needed these.

"I just prefer magic."

Andy decided to fool Cedric to see if he could change his values.

"I don't want to waste my whole life in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and I don't plan to find any job."

"I think wizards should do things that are consistent with their status as wizards."

Andy showed a longing expression, "I want to study the mystery of magic, find the origin of magic, and push magic to a higher level."
