Chapter 1182 Venue Magic and Fireworks

Hogwarts, dueling venue.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the two little witches stood opposite each other, watching each other's every move with tight faces.

During the gap between Ginny and Irina's confrontation, everyone in the surrounding stands finally had time to digest what had just happened.

In the lightning, two first-year girls completed two textbook-like perfect exchanges of offense and defense in less than two seconds.

Most of the young wizards, and even the adult wizards, felt that if they were in the duel venue below, the competition might be over by now.

Whether it's spell casting speed, spell difficulty, dueling skills...

These two little witches who have not yet finished first grade are monster-like beings.

Maybe he may not necessarily be better than Elena and the three discipline committee members, but there is a high probability that he can defeat the third-year students and even some senior gangsters.

In fact, from Elena's point of view, if fighting in Hogwarts where phantom movement is "disabled", even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will have a high chance of overturning - if you can rely on a harmless and cute appearance to design If so, Ginny and Irina might be able to easily replicate the "Salzburg Hospital Encirclement and Reinforcement" campaign she played alone a year ago.

Of course, Ginny and Irina's skillful and wonderful magical confrontation aroused surprise and discussion among everyone present.

"Spell casting speed is so fast. Do they practice in the duel field every day?"

"That one just now... was it a spell without a spell?! Are the first years of Hogwarts so powerful now?"

"It's not spell-free casting, it should be a magic shock, but it's really fast -"

Cedric looked seriously at the junior girls who were confronting him below, while explaining to Mr. Diggory, frowning slightly.

"When Professor Apokalis taught last year, almost all the students knew this technique, but I don't know where they learned it."

"The strangest thing is that I haven't seen the 'Bat Charm' released by Miss Weasley in any books - magic condenses living creatures to attack the enemy. This is only available in the Transfiguration and Charms classes for sixth graders and above. There may be some content involved, but judging from Miss Ivanovich’s cracking method, it seems to be a little different from those advanced magic spells..."

"That's not an advanced transformation technique, that's the mutation spell of flocks of flying birds." At this moment, a young woman's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw several Ravenclaw girls carrying a bunch of snacks, walking through the crowd and arriving at the core area of ​​Gryffindor's "support square".

The girl who spoke had a Hogwarts Student Union President badge pinned to her chest at an angle of 45 degrees. She nodded to everyone in a graceful manner while handing out drinks and snacks.

"These are spectator drinks and snacks provided by the Hogwarts kitchen. I see that no one here seems to be responsible for taking orders...Penello, go and do the statistics."

"Why am I-" Penello glanced at Mr. Weasley who was sitting not far away with some restraint.

"Because this is the job of every college prefect." Miss Peach pointed her finger at Penello's prefect badge and said meaningfully.

"Miss Streep? Oh, you are so..."

Arthur Weasley stood up on his own initiative and took the drinks and snacks from the girls.

As he spoke, he glanced triumphantly at Mr. Digory, unable to suppress the show-off in his calm tone.

"This is Meryl Streep, the president of the Hogwarts Student Union, George's fiancée... I originally thought it was a little too early, but I can't help the children liking it, right?"

"By the way, if that kid George dares to bully you in the future, you don't need to spoil him too much, just tell me - I'll help you vent your anger!"

Although she almost missed the dinner time scheduled with the Streep family because of overtime work, Mrs. Weasley reluctantly forgave Arthur after explaining and apologizing.

On the other hand, after learning that Arthur Weasley was promoted to the British technical director of "S.H.I.L.E.D", the Streep family was also very enthusiastic.

The parents of both parties quickly worked out the details of the engagement of the two children - after the end of the school year, George Weasley will be officially engaged to Meryl Streep.

"...Oh." Amos Diggory said with a calm expression, and quietly nudged Cedric next to him with his elbow.

Mr. Wood, who was originally eloquent, suddenly became quiet, as if he was hungry, and began to focus on the exquisite snacks.

If the kid from Diggory's family still has some chance, then his family's Oliver is completely hopeless.

Mr. Wood can only hope that after his big head graduates, he can choose a Quidditch team with more female players, so that at least there can be a glimmer of hope.

"Ahem, cough, Seid, why don't you help introduce me..."

Amos Diggory glanced at the group of Ravenclaw girls and quickly saw a yellow-skinned Asian girl.

However, before Mr. Diggory's signal could be sent, Cedric quickly turned his head and looked at Miss Peach, who was coordinating the distribution of drinks and snacks.

"Miss Streep, you just said...Miss Weasley's curse is...uh...what kind of mutation spell?"

"Hmm. I guess it's most likely a modification of the spell - if not, then it's a self-created spell."

Miss Peach replied seriously, looked at little Ginny in the duel below, and shook her head slightly.

"However, even if Ginny is a magic genius, her chances of winning this duel are not great - her opponent's basic skills are too solid, and her talent is no worse than hers."

As an honors student in Ravenclaw House, Meryl could see the subtle differences between the two little witches at a glance.

Ginny Weasley clearly had the advantage of attacking first, but Irina's counter-spell was perfectly released before her attack arrived.

This proves that the "Shadow Prefect" from Slytherin House is obviously half a point ahead of little Ginny in terms of quick spell casting and spell proficiency.

In a duel between geniuses, a half-point difference is enough to determine the outcome.

…………

At the same time, the duel venue below.

After a few seconds of brief confrontation, Irina did not choose to continue waiting.

"Clear water like a spring——"

She waved her wand deftly upwards, and clear spring water gushes out of thin air and sprinkles in Ginny's direction.

As Irina took the initiative to release the spell, Ginny, who was nervous, quickly waved her wand, and a petrifying spell flew straight towards Irina.

"All petrified!"

"Snowballs!"

Irina deftly moved a small step to the side, avoiding Ginny's spell, and continued to cast the spell with great skill.

The next moment, waves of cold air lingered on the tip of Irina's wand. As she gently stirred the wand, the temperature of the entire duel venue dropped suddenly.

The water droplets that were originally falling quickly condensed, and snow and frost danced wantonly in the small space.

A biting chill spread toward Ginny in an instant.

Although Ginny was not hit by many springs, the ground in her area was filled with thin ice that was condensing.

The white frost seemed to be alive, constantly compressing Ginny's little dodge space - field magic, which was a technique Irina learned from the "Wizard in Black".

Most wizards have certain flaws in the control of magic. They may be good at throwing magic spells at opponents, but few know how to escape from traps. Overly powerful magic spells can easily accidentally injure the spell-casting wizard at close range.

The existence of field magic is based on this concept: compared to directly "shooting" magic spells, it is obviously more clever to create favorable terrain.

What's more important is that the clear water like a spring combined with the falling snow spell can create a localized low-temperature area in a very short period of time.

Low temperature, for most organisms, means both sluggishness and stiffness.

"I'm so sorry, Ginny—"

Irina said softly, her steps easily dodging the oncoming spell.

In one-on-one situations, wand spells are too easy to avoid, just keep an eye on the opponent's wand and mouth.

At least until the opponent masters super-standard skills such as wandless spellcasting and magic spellcasting, movement speed and concentration are the keys to victory or defeat.

You know, these "trainee witches" have been ravaged by Hannah a lot these days.

Even with a classroom distance as a buffer, Hannah in the enhanced state could easily avoid their spells and rush towards them.

The secret is as simple as a joke:

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 10 kilometers of long-distance running every day...

Perhaps Ginny is not inferior to her in terms of spell attacks, but in terms of comprehensive defense and magic control, Irina is still much stronger.

For Irina, she only needs to maintain the low temperature around her and defend against all the opponent's attacks, so she can win without a fight.

In this way, the level of excitement and my own little vanity are fully satisfied.

…………

After a few minutes.

"It seems...I can't run away——"

Ginny couldn't help but shudder and glanced at her best friend not far away who was moving freely and casting spells from time to time to neutralize her attacks.

From the very beginning, she knew that she was no match for Irina.

After all, Irina's basic skills in magic are too solid, and this gap cannot be made up in a few months.

Even if she has a slight advantage in terms of physical fitness, without mastering the runes, she cannot rely on "physical magic" to end the battle like Hannah.

As for countering frozen areas?

The magic difficulty in this is much more difficult to create...

"Hey, why did Ginny Weasley stop? Is she going to admit defeat?"

"I think it's almost reached its limit."

In the surrounding stands, people looked at Ginny who gradually slowed down and finally stopped in place, and started talking quietly.

On the other side, Irina also stopped suppressing the spell and looked at Ginny curiously.

"Do you want to step off the stage yourself?"

"No, I also have a super move."

Ginny shook her head slightly, took out a small bag from her arms, and waved it in front of Irina's eyes.

"The rules for the House Competition at Hogwarts say 'Undifferentiated Competition'. This is an unseen modifier."

"Therefore, Percy went out of his way to inquire about the meaning of 'no difference'."

"And Professor McGonagall's reply is: You can use all magic-related abilities and items to complete the game..."

"So?" Irina tilted her head curiously.

"Do you like watching fireworks? Irina."

Ginny blinked and gave a sly smile.
