Chapter 466: Uneven Levels, Disarming and Barrier Spells (1/2)
Chapter 466: Uneven levels, disarming spells and barrier spells
"Expel you."
"Expel you."
The shouts of disarming spells continued to ring out, and Aaron, who was sitting on the podium, sighed with disappointment at the performance of these people.
When they raised their hands just now, they were quite even, without missing a single one.
However, in the actual training, only two-thirds of the people could use the disarming spell, and the other one-third could only recite a spell, not to mention disarming the statues, and even making them shake.
"It's really hard to be a teacher!
If it weren't for Harry Potter, a tool man, I would definitely be dragged to death by these people." Aaron thought secretly, and then thought about what he needed.
After a while, a desk appeared in front of him, with an alarm clock with a half-hour alarm, a pile of parchment and a quill pen on it.
Aaron continued to practice the light and dark magic circles. The unremitting efforts of more than a month allowed him to master the low-level and intermediate magic circles of these two elemental magics, and he was striving for the advanced magic circle.
This was an incredible achievement in the past, but now with the experience of the first five elemental magics and the magic support of the great magician, it can only be considered satisfactory to achieve this step.
As time passed, the drafts of the magic circles carved by Aaron piled up an inch thick, and the half-hour alarm rang.
"Time is up?" Aaron was stunned for a moment, then stretched his waist, and the draft and the desk disappeared together with a thought.
Putting aside the discomfort of having your mind read and the upper limit of being able to respond to every request, this room is indeed very convenient.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Aaron clapped his hands, and then used the amplification spell to inform everyone that the half-hour practice time was over and it was now time for the test.
Harry, Draco, and Celine stood in front of the stage and formally accepted the challenges of others.
For a while, various spells kept flying, hitting the walls and ceilings and sparks flew, and less than half of the people successfully shot down the opponent's weapons within three rounds.
Aaron took a small notebook to record everyone's performance, but gradually his face became extremely exciting, even a little distorted.
At this moment, he only felt that his strategy of selecting only two people for elite education at the beginning was very correct, and agreeing to teach this group of people was definitely the biggest failure in his fifteen years of playing life.
"Alas!" Aaron sighed heavily, "To be honest, I am very disappointed, no, it's a bit exaggerated to say disappointed.
In fact, I was mentally prepared, but your performance still made me... shocked.
It's okay that the success rate of wizards in the lower grades is low, and the disarming spell is indeed difficult for them, but some wizards above the fifth grade actually failed.
I have to say that the seniors in the sixth and even seventh grades really opened my eyes."
After the voice fell, many people lowered their heads in shame.
Harry said with an unnatural look, "They may just not be familiar with each other..."
"Forget it! If you don't say anything, I won't bother to say anything to you." Aaron rolled his eyes, "Ron was looking for you during the test just now. Do you dare to say that you didn't let him go and was hit by him on purpose?"
"Ah this..."
Harry hesitated and was speechless for a while.
Ron was so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room with his feet. He played the disarming spell well, and he could at least rank in the middle among the thirty people, but it depends on who he was compared with!
Compared with the top three wizards, even if he had three challenge opportunities, his winning rate was not much higher. Harry let him go just because he didn't want to embarrass him as a prefect.
"Harry, you have to understand one thing.
You can take care of your best friends in training, but Voldemort and his Death Eaters will not show mercy in real battles."
"I know." Harry nodded seriously, looking at Ron with a little more pity.
We can't let down our guard in the following training. If we get more tired now, we will get less injured later.
"Why don't you leave the Weasley training to me!" Draco said with a meaningful smile, "I promise to be fair and strict."
"You wish." Ron gritted his teeth. With the grudge between Malfoy and the Weasley family, he would definitely not be happy if he got into trouble.
"Don't make trouble." Aaron said with some tiredness, and then looked at the others. "There were twelve people who succeeded just now. In addition to several prefects, there were also George, Fred, Ginny, Luna, Michael, Neville and others.
But I took a rough look and found that even these successful people were not very skilled in using spells. Only Hermione, Luna and Neville could disarm the opponent's weapons at once. I won't say how much luck played a role in it. You know it in your heart.
My suggestion is to continue practicing the Disarming Spell until you are completely proficient. Of course, I keep my word. If you want to learn the next spell, you can come to me."
After the voice fell, the twelve successful people fell into a brief silence.
A few seconds later, only George and Fred came out.
"I knew it would be you two." Aaron smiled and shook his head.
"We have basically mastered more than half of the spells on the blackboard." George said.
"It's just that we are not very familiar with it." Fred said, "and we will be our own bosses after graduation, so there is plenty of time for training."
"Understand." Aaron nodded, "The next spell is the barrier spell."
"We want to learn something else." George said, "How about the Patronus Charm?"
Aaron raised his eyebrows, raised his wand and tapped it in the air, "Expecto Patronus."
A silver-white raven flew out from the front of the wand, it spread its wings and flew twice on the ceiling before landing steadily on Aaron's shoulder.
"That's it." George said excitedly, and many people's eyes also glowed with a strange light.
"A spell to deal with Dementors." Aaron gently stroked the raven on his shoulder, "but I can't teach you now."
"Why?"
"The Patronus Charm is a profound magic. Even most adult wizards may not be able to summon any form of Patronus.
The premise of using this spell is happy memories and a positive and optimistic attitude. It will be easier for you two to learn this spell than those pessimistic people, but it takes time, a lot of time."
"We don't mind."
"But I mind that you can't waste most of your time on a spell. "Aaron said earnestly, "I will teach you after you have mastered at least five spells."
George and Fred looked at each other, "Okay! After we learn five spells, teach us the Patronus Charm."
"The Disarming Charm counts as one." Fred said, "There are still four to go, the Obstacle Charm, right? We have also learned a little bit of this."
Aaron shrugged, "My training method is not just about being able to recite spells."
"I'll do it." Draco raised his hand excitedly. He was very familiar with this. If he wanted to show his superiority in front of Weasley, Malfoy would definitely be the best choice.
As he spoke, a huge wizard chessboard appeared in the middle of the room, with a tall stone statue standing on each side of the chessboard.
"Stand on it!" Draco said with a smile, "Remember, you can only use the Obstacle Charm, and you can't leave the chessboard."
George and Fred ignored him and looked at Aaron together, as if waiting for his opinion.
"Go up! That's how I trained them.
But forget the second half. If you can't bear it anymore, you can leave the chessboard."
The two men walked onto the chessboard one after the other without any doubt.
As soon as they stood on the chessboard, the two stone statues moved, waving their weapons and slowly moving towards them.
"Hiss!"
George and Fred took a breath and cast the barrier spell at the same time.
Bang!
The two spells hit the stone statues, they paused for three seconds, and then continued to move forward.
A flash of panic flashed in their eyes, but there was no time for them to hesitate. They could only retreat while casting the barrier spell on the stone statues, looking particularly embarrassed.
"Not that great!" Draco teased, "Celine and I can hold on for more than an hour!"
"How dare you say that!" Aaron rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "I configured the simple mode for you. After the barrier spell hits, the statue will retreat one step and pause for five seconds. You directly compressed the time to three seconds, and it won't retreat."
"That's because they are not familiar with this spell." Draco said unconvinced.
"Malfoy, shut up." Fred said indignantly.
"Public revenge!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?
You are all seventh-year students who are about to graduate. It's reasonable to make it a little more difficult.
You can't do the same as us fifth-year students, right? Isn't that too shameless?"
George and Fred were speechless immediately. It was true, but they always felt that something was wrong.
Aaron held his head and shook his head, and conjured up a similar wizard chessboard, "You guys go up too!"
"Uh..." Xilin hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Senior, this difficulty won't be the same, right?"
"Of course, you have the corresponding training experience, it's normal to increase the difficulty."
Hearing this, Draco's face turned pale instantly.
He naturally had no problem with the simple mode, but the one he made was the difficult mode. It would be difficult to last for an hour, not to mention 20 minutes.
"That... I don't think the difficulty of the fifth grade can be the same as the seventh grade!"
"Tsk!" Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "There are people younger than you in this room, and they also have this difficulty when they train.
My requirements are not high either. The seventh grade is half an hour, and each grade after that will be reduced by five minutes. As long as you can survive this period, you will pass."
"You really ruined me." Xilin said depressedly, and then climbed onto the chessboard.
Draco smiled bitterly and followed him angrily. This time he shot himself in the foot.
The others couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the four people who had to be careful even to breathe on the chessboard. In comparison, their disarming spells were much easier.
"Don't just stand there." Aaron conjured up an alarm clock. "Half an hour of Disarmament Charm training, then find Harry for testing.
The ten wizards who passed the first round of testing can directly practice the Obstacle Charm if they are interested.
If anyone doesn't know this spell, you can come to me directly, learn this spell first and then start the simple mode training."
The shouts of "Expelliarmus" were heard again in the Room of Requirement, but more than 20 wizards would also pay some attention to the two chessboards while practicing.
In less than half an hour, a sword was placed on George's neck.
The statue did not continue to attack, but stopped at this step, holding the sword upright in front of it and retreating to its original position.
He persisted the longest, Fred failed the challenge in the first few minutes, and Draco and Celine were very sincere, and jumped off the chessboard when they felt that they could not hold on.
"How do you feel?" Aaron asked with a smile.
"Tired." George was sweating profusely and sighed, "It's not so tiring to play Quidditch in a rainstorm."
"But it's very interesting. This kind of training is much more meaningful than Umbridge's theoretical class. We can all feel our own progress."
"That's good." Aaron poured a glass of water for each of them, "Take a break. Your training today ends here."
"Is it over?" Draco asked puzzled.
"It's almost nine o'clock. We should go back to the dormitory.
And your magic power consumption is relatively large. If you continue, it will be bad for your health."
George and Fred naturally had no objection to this. They were really tired and just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep.
As soon as this idea came up, two single beds replaced the chessboard.
"Fuck!" Aaron's mouth twitched violently, "Are you two going too far?"
"Didn't you say that the training time is over?" Fred and George said indifferently.
"But you should at least restrain yourself!" Aaron said with a smile, "Even if you just turned into a stool or a sofa, I wouldn't say anything, but the bed... is a bit too much."
"Just this once."
"Don't do it again."
"Don't even think about it." Aaron refused decisively, and waved his wand and the two beds disappeared.
If this happens for the first time, there will be a second time. Currently, the Room of Requirement is used by them to train Defense Against the Dark Arts. If they get used to enjoying it, this classroom will be useless.
The four of them looked at each other, stood up tacitly, and sat on a row of benches by the wall to rest.
Aaron walked back and forth in the classroom, correcting the movements of others and guiding them step by step on how to use the Disarming Spell correctly.
When the second test began, everyone's skills had improved significantly. Although there was still some gap between them and being proficient, the worst ones had also learned this spell, and they could master it thoroughly as long as they practiced hard.
"This class ends here." Aaron shouted with a voice-enhancing spell, gathering everyone together.
"Your basics are not that good, but I am very pleased with your progress.
After all, this is the first time I teach so many people. If you think there is something wrong, you can tell Harry, although I may not change it."
"It's good." Hermione said, "Really, it's great."
Aaron nodded indifferently and continued: "If everyone has no objection, the next class will be scheduled at the same time and place."
"We still have Quidditch training." Angelina said, "The season will start soon."
"Then determine your free time, and then the class leader will choose a time period when everyone is not busy for training.
As for now... We should go back to bed."
