Chapter 538 Training Ground

"Reducto! (Broken to pieces)"

"Stupefy! (passed out)"

"Protego! (Armor Protection)"

Knockturn Alley, in the underground secret room of the wizard market, dozens of wizards are fighting one-on-one on the spacious training ground.

Various spells were flying everywhere, and from time to time, several defeated wizards would fall to the ground and wail or simply fall unconscious.

This made Doggett, who was in charge of healing on the field, very busy. As the only wizard who was proficient in healing magic, he could only put out fires everywhere without stopping for a moment.

Of course, Ivan on the side was not idle either. He walked around the training ground alone, pointing out the wizards' mistakes in battle and some problems in casting spells from time to time.

Although he is not very old, relying on his legendary experience and hard study in the past three years, his attainments in magic spells are much higher than those of ordinary adult wizards.

The most skilled Transfiguration Spell is even qualified for the position of professor at Hogwarts, and there is no problem in correcting these average wizards.

Ivan walked to the center of the training ground and happened to see Grace fighting a tall and thin wizard, and knocked his opponent away in just a few rounds.

Ivan, who had watched the entire battle, slowly walked towards the two of them.

After being cursed, the tall and thin wizard crashed into the wall behind him and climbed up from the ground with difficulty, clutching his chest.

But when he stood up again, he suddenly saw Ivan standing in front of him. He was immediately startled and stammered.

"Lord Halhars!"

The wizard lowered his head and looked a little nervous, obviously worried that he would be punished for his poor performance.

"Yeah" Ivan stepped forward and patted his shoulder, swept away the dust on it, and said with a smile. "Relax, losing in a battle is normal. The important thing is to learn lessons during practice and avoid falling into the same predicament in a real battle."

"Do you know where you lost?" Ivan asked.

"It's because I'm too weak, and the magic I master can't break through the protection of the Iron Armor Curse!" The tall and thin wizard hesitated and replied in frustration.

He believed that the biggest reason for the defeat was that Grace had mastered the Iron Armor Curse, but he did not, thus widening the gap.

In ordinary wizard duels, wizards who can give themselves the Iron Armor Curse often have the advantage. After all, this protective spell can resist most magic and bounce it back.

So when he was fighting just now, he was helpless and couldn't see the possibility of victory at all.

Ivan shook his head and reminded him. "No, this has nothing to do with mastering powerful magic. It's just that your thinking is too solid! As long as you use it well, some seemingly innocuous little magic can also play a big role!"

The tall and thin wizard nodded, looking like he had been taught something, but in his heart he didn't agree.

Faced with the Iron Armor Curse, he could think of only two ways to break it.

Either use high-intensity magic, such as the Exploding Curse to instantly break through the upper limit of the armor's protection and destroy it, or use an irresistible magic like the Killing Curse to defeat the enemy with one blow.

As for other magic, it is not easy to use, and it will be bounced back and hurt yourself.

Naturally, the little emotion in the wizard's heart could not be hidden from Ivan, who had already practiced Legilimency, but he did not mean to refute, but smiled and turned to Grace on the other side and spoke.

"Grace, since you have defeated your opponent, how about we have a fight?"

"Ah? This" Grace's face suddenly turned pale, thinking that the little wizard in front of her transformed into a giant and pinched Rhys Nott in his hand with a slap, and then killed him with a snap of his fingers. Almost crying.

"Can I admit defeat? Sir Hals?" Grace asked weakly.

"You have to have some confidence in yourself, Grace! Let's do this. In the next battle, I will only use some of the most basic magic spells." Ivan shook his head speechlessly and said comfortingly.

Grace shrank her head and didn't have the guts to refuse, so she had to complain a few words in her heart. Even magic that is difficult to learn like the Iron Armor Curse is a basic magic spell in Ivan's mind, so she doesn't have much hope for Ivan's promise.

"Protego! (Armor Protection)"

Although she was beating a drum secretly in her heart, Grace still cheered up and quickly blessed herself with an iron armor spell.

If you think about it on the bright side, this duel is also an opportunity. If you perform well, you might be able to break into the law enforcement team.

The salary of sixty galleons per month makes Grace very envious. After joining the law enforcement team, her life will no longer be so rigid. Maybe in a few years she will be able to own a house of her own outside of Knockturn Alley. house.

There was no concealment of the conversation between Ivan and Grace, and everyone on the training ground could hear it clearly.

Those wizards who had not yet finished fighting stopped in unison and turned their gazes curiously to the two of them.

Rather than practicing at any time, they wanted to see this asymmetrical battle. Some of the wizards who had just surrendered were secretly guessing how long Grace could last under Ivan's hands.

"Are you ready?" Ivan asked casually.

Grace held the wand tightly in her right hand and nodded nervously, but she did not dare to take the initiative to attack. She only hoped that she could withstand a few more rounds and show her strength.

Ivan on the other side had no idea of ​​taking action immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to the wizards who were watching, especially the tall and thin wizard who paused for a moment and spoke.

"The Iron Armor Curse is a very practical protective magic that can erect an invisible magic barrier around it to protect the caster in all directions."

"But its protection is limited, and it can only bounce designated types of magic beams! We can crack it based on this!"

While explaining to everyone, Ivan quickly raised his wand and pointed it at Grace.

"There are many obstacles!" Grace kept staring at Ivan nervously. When she saw him raising his wand, she seemed to be stimulated and quickly built a solid wall in front of him.

Under this double protection, Grace felt that even some high-level spells could be resisted!

However, to her expectation, Ivan's wand did not emit a magic beam, and instead, a violent wind sound came from behind her.

At the same time, Ivan's voice sounded.

"The chairs are flying!"

The square chair placed not far behind Grace was summoned when Ivan raised the wand, and flew up at high speed like an arrow.
