Chapter 33 [Get Ready! ]
Rock's voice resounded in the bell tower classroom.
It entered everyone's ears.
It also weighed on Matthews' heart.
Matthews always felt that the battle between ordinary wizards was like walking on a tightrope, and sometimes just one negligence would lead to an accidental fall.
Even a long-established senior wizard might be attacked by a forgetfulness spell.
Their Avery family - the Holy Twenty-Eight Clans, had also invested in the Dark Lord, and even many Avery family members became Death Eaters.
But in the end, a figure like the Dark Lord also fell and died at the hands of a newborn boy.
So after Matthews became the chairman, he often told the head girl Gemma: There is no absolute strong among wizards, only relatively weak. Wizards have too low tolerance for mistakes, and always being cautious is the magic weapon to win.
Because of this, in order not to become the weaker one, Matthews never mind using tricks.
Whether it is bribery, pressure, or even secretly using the majority to suppress the opponent, as long as it can increase his tolerance for victory, Matthews will not refuse these means.
He does not think this is despicable, he thinks it is cautious.
However, this is the first time that someone has told him openly that he can use all means to attack the opponent, even using black magic and the Unforgivable Curse, and the opponent does not care at all.
But when the opponent really doesn't care, Matthews dare not do it.
Is it that deep in my heart, I still think that these means are too despicable and embarrassing?
Or...
I have never thought that someone would be so strong - strong enough to tolerate all the opponent's tricks, because they are afraid of hurting the opponent, so they dare not.
Or...
An answer that he did not want to face flashed in Matthews' mind.
He was afraid that all his despicable means would not help him win, and in this way, he would become the weak person he least wanted to be.
Under the gaze of everyone, Matthews sorted out his emotions and tried to maintain his chairman's demeanor.
In his mind, he was thinking about how to win this duel. A pure duel would definitely end up being no different from Cruz.
Matthews' idea was to have a "fair" duel like a knight for the time being.
Then after it was over, he would find a way to snatch Slytherin's exclusive school robes back from the other party.
Whether it was buying them off, rushing in, or hiring adult dark wizards, these were all ways.
As long as he could get it back, Slytherin would not care about the means, and he would still be the hero of Slytherin.
Matthews took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Rock's voice.
"Have you thought about it?"
Rock smiled and pointed his finger, indicating to Matthews - Legilimency can read your thoughts.
Matthews froze instantly, he was even a little embarrassed, so Matthews hurriedly focused his attention and tried to clear the dark thoughts in his mind just now.
"It doesn't matter. Just like I said, any means are acceptable."
Rock was not annoyed by the flash of thoughts in the other party's mind.
He really wanted Matthews to use all means to deal with him.
It didn't matter if he did it behind his back, it wouldn't cause any waves anyway.
However, Rock still hoped to fight Slytherin in front of everyone.
Because only by comparing in this way can he defeat the other party and legitimately step out of the circle of young wizards without having to compare with his peers.
This was still the inspiration given to him by Professor McGonagall in class. Professor McGonagall said that he was too good, so he would not be given extra points for these ordinary questions in the next class.
This inspired Rock that ordinary excellence would be compared in people's hearts, while being too good would be ignored by people, and they would subconsciously think that he was so good that it was natural to do these things.
Just like no matter how good a student is, he will not compare with Dumbledore.
Rock wants to be such a "natural thing".
Matthews looked at Rock carefully for a long time with suspicion, but he did not see any disgust in Rock's face. He only felt the other party's arrogance and disregard.
This feeling of being ignored and looked down upon really made Matthews feel uncomfortable.
Matthews did not intend to do it behind his back. He decided to show his cards directly and let this first-year Rock pay a price for his arrogance.
"Be prepared, we Slytherins are much wilder in duels than when we play Quidditch!!"
The wand in Matthews's hand glowed, as if he had issued some kind of order, and smashed the cup as a signal.
This was his alternative plan, which was originally set up to prevent Gryffindor from taking away Slytherin's robes after winning.
The window of the bell tower classroom suddenly opened, and soon many wizards in Slytherin uniforms flew in from the window, and some broke in from the door, and the rest of the wizards simply got out of the group of wizards watching the game.
Malfoy, a young wizard, was watching, when suddenly a wizard pushed him aside and walked to Matthews' side.
In the blink of an eye, a group of wizards gathered around Matthews and surrounded Rock on the duel stage.
This sudden change made the wizards watching the show around unable to react.
Hermione, Harry and others had never seen such a situation. It was their first time to see a wizard duel, and there was actually a fight.
Not only that, they also saw some people carrying plants like biting cabbage and poisonous tentacles.
You're not really going to have a duel with black magic later, are you?
"This! This isn't fair!" Harry shouted.
"This is what my opponent asked for. He said he doesn't care about any means!!" Matthews said expressionlessly.
Hermione was a little anxious on the side. She wanted to go out and tell the teacher to stop the fight, but the door was guarded by Slytherin people.
I wanted to find other people for help, but found that there were not many wizards around who could really work. Many young wizards wanted to protect themselves in panic.
Rock on the stage seemed to see Hermione's uneasiness: "It's okay, Hermione."
"Anyway, no matter whether the floating dust to be removed is one particle or two, it is difficult to identify with the naked eye."
Matthews's face suddenly turned dark.
"Do it!"
"Fire is raging!" "Split into pieces!" "Shattered to pieces!!" "Collapse!" "Stand stiff and stop dead!"
Several magic spells flew towards Rock at extremely fast speeds!
Rock's blue pupils reflected these intertwined lights. He gently waved his wand and said:
"Call the gods and call the guards!"
Silver-white mist instantly filled the bell tower classrooms, just when the curse was about to hit Roark——
A huge silver wolf head suddenly jumped out of the silver mist and swallowed Rock in one bite!
Several magic spells attacked the silver wolf's teeth, but they only produced layers of silver mist.
