Chapter 213 I Have Locked the Door, No One of You Can Leave Today!

"I don't know who will teach us today," Hermione guessed curiously as she pushed her way to the front. "I heard someone say that Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was young. Maybe he was the one who taught us how to duel."

Harry thought it might be Professor McGonagall who taught

"I thought you could guess who it was when you saw this gilded stage." Ivan gave them a blow to the head without mercy, shattering their illusions.

"Are you talking about that?" Looking at the gold-encrusted stage, a figure appeared in Harry's mind. He swallowed and asked with a hint of luck.

"No way." Ron was also a little desperate. He felt that he shouldn't have come.

"Yes, it's Lockhart!" Ivan nodded, and then pointed to the door of the large exhibition hall.

The three of them cast their gaze over, and sure enough they saw Gilderoy Lockhart.

But today's Lockhart seems a little different from before. In addition to the purple-red robe, there is also a large golden-red cloak hanging on the back, and there is also a rectangular piece of magic tape on the side of the face.

"Hello everyone!" Lockhart walked onto the stage enthusiastically and waved to the little wizards surrounding him.

As he raised his hand, the gold ring inlaid with sapphires on Lockhart's finger was revealed to everyone, but due to Lockhart's usually coquettish temperament, it did not arouse suspicion.

As Lockhart entered the stage, the audience booed.

Lockhart didn't take it seriously, just pretended not to hear, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly to himself.

"Come around, everyone, come closer! Listen to me!"

"That's right, your headmaster Dumbledore specifically allowed me, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, to open this dueling club!

The purpose is to fully train everyone so that when you need to defend yourself one day, you can use the knowledge I teach you."

While Lockhart was talking on the stage, Marcus from Slytherin interrupted impatiently.

"Professor, can we leave now? I think I might as well stay in the dormitory and play wizard chess."

There are not a few young wizards who have the same idea as Marcus. After learning that the dueling club was run by Lockhart, no one had any hope.

"No, it's not possible! I must tell you that escaping a duel in the magical world is an extremely shameful thing!" Lockhart shook his head.

Then Lockhart pointed at the door and said loudly.

"So in order to prevent anyone from leaving a mark of shame, I have locked the door of the hall. No one can leave until the class is over!"

The little wizards turned their heads and looked at the closed door of the exhibition hall, and were speechless for a moment.

"How could he do this?" Ron said very dissatisfied.

However, Ivan understood that Lockhart had already made a desperate move and was preparing to use this opportunity of the Duel Club to restore his reputation in Hogwarts.

In order to have more viewers for this grand performance, Lockhart certainly would not let anyone go.

Phew~

Just as everyone was noisy, a dazzling red light rushed into the sky from the tip of Lockhart's wand.

The light of the curse exploded after touching the ceiling, bursting out with brilliant sparks, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction.

Although what he wanted to release just now was not the curse, fortunately, it achieved the same effect, right?

"Ahem, now I will teach you the dueling skills. I will choose someone to be my assistant and give you a demonstration."

Lockhart's eyes passed over the figures in the audience, thinking about who to choose for his debut.

The target can't be too weak, so it can't be a freshman, but it can't be too strong, or he won't be able to beat it.

Lockhart's eyes briefly paused on Ivan, vaguely remembering the scene where he narrowly escaped death yesterday, and couldn't help but shudder. Finally, he turned to look at a Slytherin student and confirmed his goal.

"You! That's right, you don't need to look at anyone else, it's you, Marcus!" Lockhart pointed his finger at Marcus, who had spoken against him before.

"Me?" Marcus was confused, but thinking that Lockhart was just a stupid professor, he stepped onto the stage openly.

Ivan was very surprised that Lockhart didn't ask Snape to give a demonstration. Could it be that this guy has learned well?

"Look, Lockhart's cloak behind his back is actually torn!" Ron said with a sneer.

After Lockhart turned around, Ivan also noticed this. There was a big gap in the golden-red cloak.

After Ivan thought about it, he realized that this should be a protective cloak. After being activated, he forcibly received an enhanced version of Shen Feng Wuying from himself, causing some damage.

This does not prevent the normal use of the protective cloak, but the protective effect may be weaker.

"Okay! Let's officially start!" Lockhart on the stage raised his wand and signaled loudly.

"Now bow first!" Lockhart made a flashy bow gesture, and also signaled Marcus opposite him to make the same gesture as himself.

Marcus' actions were very perfunctory, he just lowered his head slightly, and then eagerly grasped the wand.

Marcus felt that he would soon be able to knock down a professor in front of everyone, which would be enough for him to brag about for several years.

And Lockhart is still explaining to everyone how to hold the wand during a duel, and reassures everyone that this is not a real duel, and he will not take Marcus' life!

Even if he can do this easily!

"Professor, can we begin?" Marcus's face suddenly darkened as he heard Lockhart demeaning himself in front of everyone.

"Of course," Lockhart looked at the impatient Marcus, raised his eyebrows, made a dueling posture, and counted.

"one two three"

"Tarantella!" Marcus took action the moment Lockhart said the last word!

The speeding curse is like a red lightning, passing through the air,

Lockhart opposite looked like he hadn't had time to react before Marcus had a smile on his lips and a look of disdain on his face.

Marcus seemed to have seen Lockhart doing a funny dance on the stage in fear, which was why he chose this spell.

The next moment the curse came, Lockhart's face remained calm. He pointed the wand at himself in a pretentious manner, and the curse immediately bounced back.

The red light hit Marcus faster than before, and Marcus' body performed a funny dance uncontrollably.

Except for Marcus's horrified shouts, there was a moment of silence.
