Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 132 Previous Lesson

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Harry Potter racked his brains to finish the test paper.

Then he saw Gilderoy Lockhart take the paper away with a serious face. Harry looked at Professor Lockhart nervously, but he soon gave up.

Because it was difficult for him to read any information from Lockhart's face.

"He is totally different from his image in the book." Hermione, who was sitting on Harry's left, said: "I thought he was a humorous person."

Ron, who was sitting on Harry's right, pursed his lips and said, "The author and the work cannot be confused."

Harry thought for a moment and said, "Do you think we can pass this test? It's crazy to have all the textbooks on our backs in the first week of school..."

"In fact..." Hermione said, "I memorized all the textbooks before going to school. Didn't you?"

Harry and Ron shook their heads.

Aren't textbooks something that you learn during class? If you memorize the textbooks right after the start of the semester, what do you learn later?

"Okay..." Hermione said helplessly.

Sometimes she couldn't figure out whether there was something wrong with her or with these boys.

Why not memorize the textbook?

There is a fundamental difference between a top student and a poor student.

"Although what you wrote was a mess, but..." Harry saw Mr. Lockhart on the podium raised his head and said to them: "You are barely qualified. I should also fulfill my promise and give you something new."

"Oh yeah~" The students below the podium couldn't help but cheer.

After all, Professor Lockhart's previous methods were really cool.

"Do you know what the strongest Defense Against the Dark Arts is?" Professor Lockhart asked, looking at them.

Harry and the others shook their heads.

They only knew that there were many kinds of magic, each of which was extremely dark and evil, but there had never been a Defense Against the Dark Arts that could defend against all dark magic.

When facing black magic, wizards should determine what spell the other party has used and prescribe the right remedy.

"Then do you know what the strongest defense is?" Professor Lockhart asked again.

"The Shield Charm?" Hermione raised her hand.

The Armor Charm is a spell that creates a magical shield that protects against attacks from many spells and physical entities.

In a wizard duel, the Shield Spell is almost an indispensable spell.

"Of course not, Miss Granger," said Professor Lockhart. "The best defense is offense! As long as you strike first and defeat the enemy, you will naturally be safe and defend against the dark arts."

"If you just defend blindly, you will inevitably fail. On the other hand, attacking forces the opponent to defend and expose weaknesses! If the opponent reveals weaknesses, we will hit him, which naturally plays a defensive role!"

Professor Lockhart's theory was very strange, and it was hard for Harry, Hermione, and Ron to accept it for a while. Not to mention them, even the other children found it hard to accept.

Their class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, not Offensive Dark Arts.

Only a noble wizard like Malfoy, who had been exposed to the dark arts since childhood, could not help but be enlightened by such a theory.

Black magic is often used to harm, control or kill others, or to preempt them!
"How do you defeat the opponent first?" Professor Lockhart said, "You need a strong physique, a firm will, and the inheritance of a magic warrior!"

"Magic Warrior?" Hermione raised her hand again and asked, "What is that?"

"It is a secret force popular all over the world. It can be regarded as a branch of wizards! They use magic and weapons to resist powerful enemies." Professor Lockhart explained. Hermione asked again: "Why have we never heard of it?"

Malfoy also said: "Using weapons, do you feel like a barbarian? Do we noble wizards have to wield weapons too?"

He couldn't help laughing at the end, and many people in Slytherin House also laughed.

In their view, the most elegant thing is for a wizard to wave his wand.

Professor Lockhart asked with a half-smile, "You really have never seen a magic warrior?"

Harry shook his head.

"Does anyone of you know the past of Godric Gryffindor?" Professor Lockhart asked again.

Godric Gryffindor is the founder of Gryffindor House. He is the most outstanding duelist. He uses a longsword and a wand... a longsword!
It occurred to Harry that Godric Gryffindor was very good at swordsmanship.

If he had thought of it, then naturally others would have thought of it too.

"In ancient times, wizards also fought with swords." Professor Lockhart said seriously: "They can be called wizards, or magic warriors or magic swordsmen."

"It's just that with the passage of history, Europe was the first to use magic wands and magic wand spells, making wand warriors the mainstream. Magic warriors were at a disadvantage in the battle between magic warriors and wand warriors, so they hid themselves."

"You may not know that in the Ouagadou School of Magic in Africa, they use hand gestures to perform magic, which is somewhat similar to the magical traditions of the East."

"You have read many of my books and know that I have been wandering around the world for so many years. From what I have seen, not all wizards are wand masters who use magic wands. I have also met many legendary magic warriors in the mysterious East. They have taken a different path from the wand masters and are not inferior to them at all."

"This world is not what you see, but it has many secrets! I hope that when you grow up, you will not limit yourself to taking care of Ying, but go out and see more."

Harry nodded repeatedly. The concept of wandmasters and magic warriors fascinated Harry.

Harry has never seen the wizarding world, nor does he know what the real wizarding world is like.

"But... I've never heard my father say that." Malfoy said with a frown.

Lockhart just looked at him and said, "Your father is just a wizard in the British wizarding world. Do you know how many similar British wizarding worlds there are in the whole world?"

Malfoy shook his head.

"Do you know how many wizards there are in the world?" Lockhart asked again.

Malfoy still shook his head.

"Do you know how many great wizards there are from ancient times to the present, and their secrets?" Lockhart asked again.

Malfoy palely shook his head.

He already understood Lockhart's problem. His father didn't know everything. Professor Lockhart was just pointing at him and saying he was a frog in a well.

"Now, I have decided to teach you the inheritance of the magic warrior. Are you willing to learn?" Lockhart said, looking around the classroom.

"of course yes!"

"That sounds so cool! Magic Warrior!"

It is human nature to wield swords and guns, especially for males.

A magic wand in one hand and a sword in the other, this is a real wizard!
Professor Lockhart opened the four scrolls with satisfaction and hung them on the blackboard.
