Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 116 Kyle's Preparations

"Very good, Mr. Shafiq, since you are so confident," the professor stood up and took out a note, with an unforgettable hatred on his face:

"If you can successfully master this magic before today's curfew, and use it in a duel, I can give you another note, which is what you have been looking forward to... a magic research note!"

Kyle remained silent and took the notes silently.

After flipping through it, there is only one spell recorded in it.

Looking at the effect, it can hang a person upside down.

This is obviously the magic that the professor himself researched, and the entire process of the research was recorded in his notes.

Compared with the final results, the records of the research process are the most precious.

But Kyle doesn't quite understand that this magic has no lethality and no special effect.

It can only hang a person upside down to restrict movement, making him an immobile target.

Why is the professor so obsessed with this magic?

It seems that there is more enmity between the professor and the marauder than Kyle knows.

After all, not every conflict will be recorded in the penalty record.

After giving the notes to Kyle, the professor sat back in his seat without saying a word.

There was no time for Kyle to think, and he directly and coldly issued an order to evict the guest:
"Mr. Shafik, instead of being in a daze here, why don't you go back and think about how to deal with that...werewolf. Since you initiated the challenge, I hope the result will not disappoint me."

"After all, the glory of Slytherin cannot be desecrated!"

The bewildered Kyle bowed and walked out of the potions office.

It was only at the moment when I looked back that I vaguely saw a deep sadness appearing on the professor's face.

Kyle, who walked out of the office, did not go back to the dormitory, but directly found an abandoned classroom as a temporary spell practice room.

The principle of Fuchsia is not complicated, it can be regarded as a variant of the floating spell.

But after the professor modified it, the spell was more powerful, and the casting became faster and simpler.

In order to study the flying magic circle, Kyle did a lot of research on the most basic floating spell, so the fuchsia was very quick to use.

"Fuchsia"

"Fuchsia"

……

I practiced with the old desks and chairs in the classroom over and over again, and didn't stop until a few overwhelmed desks fell apart.

This magic Kyle can be said to have mastered it initially. It only needs more practice to increase the proficiency and casting speed of the spell, and it is enough to use it in actual combat.

Looking at the time, it was just past eight o'clock, and Kyle decided to continue working on this magic, and then went to report to Snape.

At 09:30, Kyle stopped practicing on time and walked towards the potions office.

After finding the professor to verify the results of the Fuchsia practice, the rest of the time can receive some special training.

To be honest, Kyle can't wait for the special training.

The professor is undoubtedly a duellist, and he is an actual fighter who has experienced the baptism of war.

I have never had the opportunity to see the professor make a move before, this time, maybe I can get a glimpse of the professor's demeanor.

Boom, boom, boom

The knock on the door disturbed the serpentine relief on the door.

As if affected by the professor's bad temper, Cameo stared impatiently at Kyle, hissing out a snake letter.

It should be some instruction from the professor, the embossed listened carefully, shook his head and opened the door.

Seeing that it was Kyle who came in, the professor raised his eyebrows and put down his work: "Why, Mr. Shafik, have you mastered that magic?"

"Yes, Professor."

The professor was quite surprised by Kyle's answer. Looking at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock.

"It seems that Mr. Shafik's talent in spells is really extraordinary, no wonder he gave up his poor potion class directly."

The professor's voice was unhurried, but it made Kyle freeze in place.

Because he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Fortunately, my professor didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but stood up cleanly:
"Come on, let's start the special training."

The professor didn't mention the fuchsia, which made Kyle a little confused.

Following the professor, the two came to a practice room.

Looking at the layout inside, it seems that it is for the exclusive use of professors.

"Mr. Shafiq, how much do you know about dueling?"

After thinking about it, Kyle replied cautiously: "I have learned about the process in the book, but I have never seen a formal duel."

"Very well, follow the procedure you know, have a formal duel with me, go all out, and let me see your true strength."

"Yes, Professor."

Without too much nonsense, the two stood facing each other and bowed to each other.

Then, each held their wands in front of them like swords, and Professor Snape began to count:
"one two Three!"

"Except your weapons!"

"Except your weapons!"

Both sides chose the same magic spell as the starting hand, and both were issued towards the side of the opponent's body.

But the responses of the two are completely different.

Kyle stared at the professor's wand intently, and quickly moved to the other side after judging the direction.

The professor, on the other hand, just stood where he was, letting the curse pass by him.

Kyle predicted the professor's actions, but the professor predicted Kyle's prediction.

The attack did not end. Seeing that the professor did not move at all, Kyle quickly released an armor body.

Sure enough, the professor who didn't move had more time to cast magic, calmly added a de-you weapon, and then began to suppress Kyle.

A series of spells were thrown at Kyle intensively. Although they are all weapons to remove you, the purpose of these spells is not the same.

Some are blocking Kyle's position, while others are pointing to the direction of Kyle's actions.

There are also some, entirely to force Kyle to use the Iron Armor Curse and miss the opportunity to attack.

The intensive spells made Kyle tired of coping.

At the same time, the professor continued to issue pointers:

"Footsteps, rhythm, prediction! Kyle, these are crucial things in a duel, even on the battlefield."

"A duel is not about running around aimlessly and casting spells wantonly.

Each of your spells should have a purpose, like this, to disarm you! "

As the professor's voice fell, Kyle was hit by a powerful weapon to kill you, and he leaped backwards, the wand in his hand flew high, and was caught by the professor.

Rubbing his butt helplessly, Kyle stood up with a wry smile.

Although I knew that the professor's strength was strong, I didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Kyle can be said to be suppressed and helpless.

"The magic power is powerful and the spells are proficient. You have surpassed the average adult wizard in these things, and even Lupine's disgusting werewolf can no longer compare with you."

"But in terms of combat awareness, you are far behind!"

The professor's face was very serious when he spoke: "If that's the case, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​a duel as soon as possible, and apologize to that werewolf obediently."

"Otherwise, going up would just embarrass Slytherin."

After finishing speaking, he stood there with a cold face, looked at Kyle dissatisfied, and waited for Kyle's backhand.

Regarding this, Kyle could only smile wryly, originally he had no intention of directly fighting with Lupine.

In this battle, Kyle just wanted to test the gap between himself and the elite wizards, but he didn't expect to lose so badly.

Reluctantly gesturing to the professor to wait, Kyle opened the box next to him.

Seeing Kyle's actions, the professor's expression finally improved a lot.

The mouth of the box twisted, and two puppets came out.

This was specially developed by Kyle for possible battles.

One is an improved puppet warrior.

The other one is named puppet: Priest.

The puppet fighters have not been improved much, but the dodge system has been added.

Golems can detect energy flying towards them and dodge quickly.

As for the puppet priest, in addition to being equipped with an evasion system, Kyle also portrayed a special magic circle.

Bringing the two puppets back to the professor, Kyle finally had the confidence to refute:
"As you wish, professor, this is my backhand."

Unfortunately, the surprise that Kyle imagined did not appear on the professor's face.

Instead, he frowned: "Kyle, I know you have a lot of research on alchemy, but are you sure you want to use it in battle?"

What responded to the professor was Kyle's confident face: "Of course!"

Taking a deep look at Kyle, the professor didn't say anything in the end, but raised his wand again.

Seeing this, Kyle made the same action, and then actively counted: "One, two, three!"

"Axe Arms" X2
"Axe Arms" X3
The extra weapon to remove you was released by Kyle.

Because as soon as the duel started, a wave of energy flashed across the puppet priest, and then an iron armor curse soundlessly fell on Kyle.

After all, the Floating Void City, which has been studied for so long, is still far away from the finished product, but there are some staged results after all, which can be used to enhance Kyle's strength.

The Iron Armor Curse released by the puppet is the staged result of Kyle's research on the magic shield.

As long as Kyle has a magic imprint for identification, the Iron Armor Curse will be cast on him continuously.

It was with the extra armor protection that Kyle was able to resist a professor's extermination weapon, and then released an extra magic.

Kyle is really not good at pace and rhythm, so he can only find ways to make his opponent exhausted.

The effect of the battle really met Kyle's expectations.

There were puppet soldiers in front of him who were constantly harassing, which made the professor have to let go of the opportunity to attack again and again, and instead released the obstacles, trying to prevent the soldiers from approaching.

Kyle in the rear was wearing the priest's Iron Armor Curse, and swayed the curse unscrupulously.

The professor countered the curse, dodge it if you can dodge it, and resist it if you can't dodge it.

Seeing Kyle's response, the professor's face was a little ugly. This fighting style subverted his cognition.

An experienced professor who tried to shift the attack target to the priest.

But the priest also put on a shield, and even put a shield on the puppet warrior in his spare time.

However, the professor's combat experience cannot be underestimated after all.

In the end, he was allowed to find a chance to break the Iron Armor Curse on the priest puppet, and then viciously made up a blow of broken bones.

Unfortunately, what happened next made the professor's face completely dark.

Kyle actually put on his armor to protect himself, blocked the priest with a shameless face, resisted a blow to pieces, and presented a bright smiling face to the professor.

"enough!"

The unbearable professor finally stopped the duel and stared at Kyle with a dark face.

Kyle smirked and stopped the puppet's actions, while looking innocently at the professor.

After brewing for a long time, the professor finally didn't say anything, but let out a dissatisfied hum.

Kyle, who accepted as soon as he was good, of course would not let his professor down from the stage, so he quickly put away the puppet.

"Except your weapons!"

Kyle flew out in a daze, and the wand fell into the professor's hand again.

"Mr. Shafiq, this is to tell you not to let your guard down as long as you are not out of danger."

The professor smirked while playing with Kyle's wand.

Seeing this, Kyle could only be silent, stood up obediently, and took the wand.

To be honest, at this moment Kyle really has the urge to sneak attack and remove your weapon.

But thinking about the possible consequences, I can only regretfully give up this idea.

In the end, the professor who vented his anger still commented on Kyle's fighting style.

"I have to say that you have found your own way of fighting."

"At least in a one-on-one battle, as long as the opponent is not Dumbledore or the Dark Lord, you are already invincible."

"If I'm not wrong, there is more than one kind of puppet, and it doesn't require you to pay too much attention to operate it."

Kyle didn't speak, just opened the box, and five identical puppet priests came out.

After a wave of energy flashed across the puppets at the same time,

No. [-] puppet casts the Iron Armor Curse on No. [-],

Set No. [-] was given to No. [-],
And so on.

In the end, Puppet No. [-] put the Iron Armor Curse on Kyle.

After thinking about it, Kyle waved his wand and put a shield on the No. [-] puppet.

This scene made the professor's eyes twitch.

This was probably the most shameless fighting style he had ever seen.

Without even speaking, he turned around with a dark face and walked towards the corridor.

"Wait, professor, our special training..."

"The special training is cancelled!"

The dark-faced professor let out an angry roar, but paused, and finally gave an explanation with a complicated expression:
"Kyle, you have embarked on your own fighting path, and even your invention will definitely change the entire magic world."

"Since this is the case, there is no need to accept my special training and repeat this traditional wizarding path."

When the professor's words reached the place where Kyle was proud, he couldn't help showing a smirk.

But looking at the professor's darkened face again, he said quickly:

"Professor, special training is still necessary, I can't always carry a puppet with me."

"And even with it, the sudden battle may leave me with no time to take out the puppet."

"So orthodox combat training is exactly what I need."

Then, after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Also, we have to assume that the alchemy puppet is forbidden to participate in this duel."

Eventually, Kyle convinced the professor and the special training continued.
