- #209 - Chapter 209 Xia Lin: Have I released a piece of sea?
On the field, a small yellow shadow fell straight down.
Ron waved his arms quickly:
“Pikachu loses the ability to fight, Raichu wins. The winner is Hermione!”
In the end, Harry’s Pikachu still failed to defeat Raichu, but this blow surprised Hermione. How could a squishy Pokémon like Pikachu withstand so many attacks from Raichu?
Not to mention, the subsequent move of Iron Tail with thunder and lightning actually gave Raichu a huge baby, which almost made Raichu unable to support it.
Therefore, although Hermione won the game, she was very surprised by the strength of Harry and Pikachu.
Could it be possible to become so powerful without evolving?
Hermione couldn’t understand, but Xia Lin could tell that Harry’s Pikachu had begun to evolve in the direction of its partner Pokémon.
In fact, Harry is a bit similar to Xiaozhi, and according to Xia Lin’s observations, it is possible for Harry to awaken the power of waveguide. Under this premise, it is not difficult to understand that Pikachu can change in the direction of its partner Pokémon.
However, her doubts did not last long before she was attracted by another thing, because when they returned to the common room, they saw the newly posted notice board.
Gilderoy Lockhart plans to start a dueling club.
“Duel Club?”
“I heard that he wanted to use this method to allow us to better protect ourselves when facing the possible successor.” Seamus said, “By the way, the club does not allow the use of Pokémon to fight. Otherwise it would be no different from the Pokémon Club.”
“But if I have Pokémon, how could I not use them?” Ron thought this was ridiculous.
“I think Professor Lockhart is trying to give other students who have not received Pokémon a certain degree of self-protection, and don’t forget that you are a wizard, Ron!” Hermione said unhappily.
Although this is the second year that Xia Lin has returned to school, there are actually only about a hundred students in the school who have Pokémon, and there are more than 700 students who actually don’t have Pokémon. And these students are the most at risk.
At eight o’clock in the evening, they came to the hall bustlingly. Even Ron rushed to the scene very honestly.
The hall had been beautifully transformed by Lockhart.
The dome originally matched the weather, but now it has turned into a velvet color.
On the long high platform, Lockhart walked out triumphantly.
“Good evening everyone——”
Little Barty imitated Lockhart’s appearance when he was in school – grandstanding was synonymous with him – but little Barty also heard that Lockhart seemed to have become a great wizard in his crab years, so when he sneaked into Hogwart When he was in trouble, he naturally showed his own abilities.
Therefore, after all the little wizards saw Lockhart’s style, not only did they not find him annoying, but they thought he was quite stylish. Even Ron kind of idolized him.
Lockhart waved everyone for silence, then shouted: “Come around, come around! Can everyone see me? Can everyone hear me? Great!”
“I’m glad to see everyone here! That’s right, Professor Dumbledore allowed me to open this small dueling club to fully train everyone in case you need to defend yourself one day, and protect yourself in the same way I have used countless times – -” He winked and said playfully, “Let me introduce my assistant -“
“Professor Remus Lupin?”
“No, no, of course not!”
Lockhart waved his hands repeatedly: “To be honest, I wanted Professor Lupine to suggest what it would be like to be my assistant, but Professor Lupine recommended a more suitable candidate to me! That is your favorite Xia Lin. ·Professor Gold!”
There are already girls in the crowd screaming!
“Are you that excited? You’re not reserved at all, right, Hermione?” Ron plugged his ears, looking like he couldn’t stand these old fans. But when she turned around, she found that Hermione was almost suffocating with excitement.
“Are you concerned?” Ron felt inexplicably unhappy.
“Of course! Professor Xia Lin taught us dueling!” Hermione said excitedly, “Have you forgotten who is called the greatest wizard in the world? Think about it, even Voldemort lost to the professor. He can defeat so many senior wizards in the third year, if you can learn magic spells from him, you will definitely gain a lot!”
“So it’s not because the professor is handsome?”
“…Not just…” Hermione muttered with a blush.
Ron wanted to say something else, but Lockhart interrupted him.
“What’s even more gratifying is that your professor generously agreed to my request. He even agreed that I would give you a small demonstration before class. Of course, don’t worry about me, I believe he will be lenient. I’ll leave you with an intact substitute teacher!” Lockhart said, reaching behind the high platform.
Xia Lin came to the high platform under his exaggerated performance.
As a teacher, he is naturally very good at this small scene.
“Everyone, at the kind invitation of your Defense Against the Dark Arts substitute teacher, the two of us will show a real wizard duel tonight, and at the same time teach you the magic that may be used in the duel, so that you can learn more The ability to protect oneself.”
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the high platform and faced Lockhart.
Lockhart was still dressed like a peacock, while Xia Lin was dressed more like a Muggle. A revamped suit that looks comfortable while also allowing for movement.
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he immediately became the protagonist here, attracting all the attention.
“It seems that next time I have to find another professor to give a demonstration with me. Look, everyone, my limelight has been stolen by Professor Xia Lin.” Lockhart said exaggeratedly, but in fact he saw He didn’t look angry at all, but instead made the little wizards laugh.
“Professor Lockhart has a great sense of humor.”
Xia Lin looked at him with a smile. The two faced each other on both sides of the high platform and bowed to each other.
“Wizard dueling, as a very ancient sport, is not just about shooting magic spells at each other with wands. Etiquette is also very important.” He explained to the young wizards.
“Before the duel begins, bow to each other to show respect for each other. Picking up the wand and raising it in front of you means fairness.” Xia Lin said while raising the rainbow wand.
Lockhart made the same gesture at the same time, and he added: “The raising of the wand means to tell the opponent that you will treat the game fairly, rather than treat the duel basely and unfairly.”
Lockhart’s face was so serious that Xia Lin suspected that he was criticizing Sang and Huai, accusing him of using Pokémon when dealing with Voldemort.
But for mercy’s sake, when fighting Voldemort in the cemetery, Xia Lin didn’t let the Pokémon take action.
The little wizards who were inexperienced in the world were immediately moved by Li Hart’s words and believed that dueling was a sacred thing.
“Of course, you must be polite when dealing with respectable opponents, but you don’t need to be polite when dealing with real enemies.” Xia Lin did not intend to be scolded by Lockhart secretly but did not fight back, and immediately said tit for tat, “I believe that evil I am afraid that the heir of the Ministry of Magic will not salute you foolishly. If we continue to deal with the enemy like this, I am afraid that all the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic will be killed.”
Harry was amused by Xia Lin. He pushed up his glasses and poked Ron with his elbow: “If it were me, I would never bow to Voldemort.”
“Only a fool would bow to him!” Ron shook his shoulders, “Which one of them do you think can win?”
“No need to ask, of course it’s Professor Xia Lin!” Hermione interjected.
Just defeating the Dark Lord is something Lockhart can’t touch. You know, even Dumbledore can’t do anything to Voldemort. She admitted that Professor Lockhart was indeed much better than Quirrell last year, but compared with Professor Xia Lin, it was a bit insulting to Professor Xia Lin.
“I also believe that Professor can win.” Neville did not say his name, but everyone knew that he was talking about Xia Lin.
Then, the crowd fell silent.
The two people on the high platform looked directly into each other’s eyes, and neither of them made any rash move.
In fact, Xia Lin could be more relaxed. With his strength, it would be easy to defeat Little Bartina. I’m afraid that the other party will die in his hands before he can react.
But this is not a real duel after all. Their purpose is to teach the young wizards how to cover up the duel and teach them techniques to protect themselves. Therefore, it is better to use it in a posture where Lockhart is evenly matched.
At the same time, he also believed that this was a test of himself by the other party.
Now that the diary has fallen into Lockhart’s hands, I believe Riddle will be curious about the person who defeated him. At the same time, Kaguya tried her best to understand Xia Lin’s strength.
In this way, Xia Lin can also confuse his opponents, making Riddle and Barty think that he only relies on Pokémon to defeat Voldemort. Although his own strength is good, it is a wrong message that is far from Voldemort.
At this time, Lockhart made the first move.
He took a step forward, and a red light flashed from the wand and flew toward him:
“Expelliarmus!”
He first cast a silent spell, then remembered that he was giving a demonstration to the little wizards, so he recited the spell.
“Armor protection!”
Xia Lin’s wand drew an arc gracefully on his chest, and a transparent barrier blocked Lockhart’s attack, and reflected the opponent’s spell intact.
Lockhart did not dodge and directly used his wand to deflect the spell.
“Have you seen the beautiful armor spell? A truly powerful armor spell not only blocks enemy attacks, but can also reflect the enemy’s spells. In this way, you can get a chance to attack.”
Lockhart, or Barty Jr., is indeed a good teacher. At least he is very conscientious and treats his classmates equally. He never showed his arrogance toward non-purebloods.
He explained and attacked at the same time:
“Split into pieces!”
“Shattered to pieces!”
“Thunderbolt explosion!”
The powerful spell hit Xia Lin’s armor spell, causing a violent explosion immediately. The shock wave made the little wizards nearby lower their heads in fear.
“Please forgive me, your Professor Xia Lin’s Iron Armor Curse is too powerful. In order to break it, I had to come up with a powerful spell. But unfortunately, the effect is not very good.” Lockhart laughed at himself. laughed.
He cast several such powerful spells in succession, but Xia Lin’s armor spell was still indestructible, which made him understand that the opponent did have two brushes.
In fact, even Xia Lin himself was a little surprised.
He had released an entire piece of the Pacific Ocean, so it was okay if he didn’t fight back, and he didn’t even use protection. But who knew that Lockhart had actually failed to penetrate his armor.
If he found that after finally breaking the Iron Armor Curse, those soft spells had no effect at all on his body, he would definitely be more desperate, right? Xia Lin couldn’t help but think.
Little Barty didn’t know that Xia Lin released the water. He thought that Xia Lin didn’t fight back because he was maintaining the energy of the Iron Armor Curse.
“When you find that your magic spell cannot break the enemy’s defense, don’t be impatient. If you continue to use magic spells to attack forcefully at this time, you will only consume your own physical strength. Remember, the enemy means himself when he is defending. You can’t attack either, so master the rhythm——”
Lockhart explained and stood ready.
Such a dedicated and good professor is hard to find in the original novel.
If he hadn’t known his true identity, Xia Lin would have waited for Dumbledore’s proposal to formally recruit him to the school as a professor, a great career with a promising future but no suitable candidates.
“Remember, rhythm is very important!” Lockhart stared hard at Xia Lin, “If you fall into the enemy’s rhythm, then you are not far from failure. In fact, this is very similar to your Pokémon battle. . I believe that students who have joined the Pokémon Club will understand this deeply.”
“I’ll end today’s demonstration Lockhart,” Xia Lin suggested. “We don’t have much time. If we fight endlessly, who will teach the little wizards how to use spells?”
“It makes sense!” Little Barty was still thinking about how to break through Xia Lin’s armor curse, and nodded after hearing the other party’s suggestion. He did not forget that he was now playing a professor.
“Okay, so this demonstration is over. Next time I will continue this unfinished battle with Professor Xia Lin.” He said with pretense of regret, “I believe someone has guessed what our lesson will be like. That’s the content of the lesson. That’s right – two charms, the Disarming Charm and the Iron Armor Charm. Their spells are Expelliarmus and Armor Protection.”
“Now, I will divide you into two people. One side will use the disarming spell, and the other side will use the iron armor spell. Your goal is to take away the opponent’s weapon or protect yourself. Okay – start now!”
Lockhart jumped off the high platform and began to group the young wizards into groups.
However, Xia Lin noticed that when he passed by Malfoy, he quietly cast a soul-stealing curse.
Poor Malfoy was used as a gun again.
