Chapter 4081 4083 [Become Famous in One Fell Swoop]
Xiang Nan saw this, walked forward, pointed Lucius's wand at him, "How about it, do you admit defeat? According to the rules of wizard duels, I can kill you now."
According to the ancient tradition, wizards can kill people in duels.
"I lost, I lost, please, don't kill me." Lucius was so scared that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy.
He didn't want Xiang Nan to cast a spell on his face, because even a blazing fire would be enough to kill him.
"Stop, what are you doing, don't bully our Raven..." At this time, Derek Ludvid's voice rang out.
It turned out that Joey and others were still worried about Xiang Nan, so they told Derek about Lucius's appointment with Xiang Nan for a duel. Derek immediately summoned the senior students of Ravenclaw to rush over.
Unexpectedly, when he saw it here, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The Slytherin students were hung in the air, Lucius Malfoy was begging for mercy from Xiang Nan, but Xiang Nan looked unharmed.
"This..." Derek was surprised and asked in confusion, "Severus, did you solve all this?"
Xiang Nan nodded, then waved his hand, and the four people hanging fell to the ground with a thump. After getting up, their faces were flushed.
As senior students, they couldn't beat Xiang Nan even if they joined forces. It was really embarrassing to be knocked down in the air by him with one move.
Xiang Nan waved his hand again, removed Lucius's weak leg curse, and returned his wand to him, saying with a smile, "I am very happy to be able to spar with the senior. I welcome the class leader to spar with me in the future. It's better to find more people. I can't have enough fun without too many people."
Lucius got up from the ground and took the wand awkwardly. His face was red, white, and black for a while. Finally, he said a cruel word, "Let's wait and see." After that, he turned around and ran.
His four followers also hurriedly followed, fearing that if they ran slower, they would be hung upside down in the air by Xiang Nan again.
"Severus, you are awesome~" Gregory said admiringly, "You defeated a group of people by yourself."
"Slytherin is so embarrassed now. A group of seventh-year students can't beat a freshman." A senior student of Ravenclaw laughed.
"Severus, you are the pride of our Ravenclaw!" Derek Ludvid lifted Xiang Nan high and said, and then Xiang Nan returned to the castle surrounded by everyone.
The news that he challenged five Slytherin students alone soon spread throughout Hogwarts.
For a time, Xiang Nan was in the limelight. No matter where he went, he was pointed at.
"Is he the student who challenged Slytherin? Killed Lucius Malfoy and his group in one move?"
"I heard that he scared Lucius to tears and knelt on the ground begging for mercy."
"What a powerful freshman, how could he be so powerful."
"He can beat so many senior students, he is really strong~"
The classmates all admired Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, it was because Xiang Nan was really strong. He had just entered school and was already so strong. It was not easy to challenge five senior students alone.
You should know that there were many ordinary little wizards who did not know any spells when they first entered school. The seventh-year students were already adults and were about to graduate. They had learned at least forty or fifty spells, including evil spells, poison spells and curses.
So it was almost certain that the seventh-year students would defeat the freshmen. Who would have thought that Xiang Nan would kill them back? Just based on this point, he was enough to become famous.
On the other hand, it was also because Lucius and others were too annoying. Voldemort had begun to rise last year (1970), leading his Death Eaters to cause considerable damage to the British wizarding world.
Lucius and others advocated the concept of "pure blood supremacy" and formed a small group to bully Muggle-born and mixed-blood wizards everywhere, which had already aroused the wrath of heaven and people. So it was really embarrassing to be completely defeated this time, enough for the students of the other three colleges to laugh for a year.
...
In the afternoon, after dealing with Lucius and others, Xiang Nan and others went to the History of Magic taught by Professor Binns.
Professor Binns is a ghost, and it is said that he is the first professor of the History of Magic at Hogwarts. Later, he was too old and fell asleep while resting in the classroom lounge. After waking up, he forgot to take his body with him, and he became a ghost professor.
His History of Magic should have been very fascinating, after all, history has never been a boring subject.
This can be seen from Chinese history, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor, the Three Kingdoms, the North-South confrontation, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms... Every period of history is brilliant, and every character has a unique charm, so the History of Magic is very interesting.
But Professor Binns is really boring. First, his voice was drawn out, like a monk chanting a sutra, without cadence or ups and downs; second, he was straightforward and read from the book, without citing references and drawing inferences from one example, so his lectures were really unpopular.
The other students were drowsy and could not help dozing off. Fortunately, Xiang Nan was determined and did not feel sleepy, but took notes diligently.
After the class, Professor Binns walked straight through the classroom. Seeing this scene, the students were all alert.
"Severus, are you going back to the dormitory?" Joey asked Xiang Nan while packing his schoolbag.
"No, I'm going to the library." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"You really love to study, no wonder you are so strong." Benjamin smiled.
"It's normal. By the way, bring me some food back to the dormitory. I won't go to the restaurant tonight." Xiang Nan said again.
It takes half an hour to go back and forth to the restaurant, and he really doesn't want to waste it.
"Okay, then go ahead." Gregory nodded.
...
Xiang Nan then went back to the library and continued to read his books.
Magic literature, transfiguration, potions, spells... He still has a lot of books to read.
Xiang Nan read until ten o'clock, and then went to the astronomy tower to take astrology class.
They need to use a telescope to observe the starry sky, learn the names of different stars and the orbits of the planets, so as to make predictions about the future.
However, first-year students cannot learn so deeply. It is already a great thing to be able to recognize the planets in the solar system and remember their names, positions and orbits.
For Xiang Nan, astrology is really not too simple. After all, he inherited Rajesh Kusapari's knowledge and knows everything about the starry sky.
But then again, this is a magical world after all, so the starry sky is also a little different.
According to Professor Aurora Sinistra, who teaches astrology, these stars in the sky do predict something. But it is difficult for humans to read these predictions, but the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest have such a talent. But they cannot calculate the specific time when these things will happen, so it often takes a long time to verify.
Hearing her say this, the students who were originally very excited were very disappointed.
