Chapter 47: Exhibition Match

"So next ..." said Lockhart, stammering slightly, "I thought it's best to teach you how to stop some unfriendly magic, yes, unfriendly, as I wrote in my book... . Documented personal experiences."

"Please volunteer to come up as a pair - Longbottom and Finch-Fletchley, how about you? Professor Hap, Professor Snape, we'd better leave the stage to them ..."

Felix fiddled with his wand absently, "A very good offer, Professor Lockhart. But before that, I think it's necessary, to let the young wizards know what a real duel is like, even if it's a demonstration duel."

Lockhart's expression froze for a moment, "This, I ..." he looked in all directions and found the young wizards off-stage so interested in this that he couldn't speak.

"Professor Snape, what do you think?" Felix asked Snape, who had been silent.

A certain Potion Professor measured him with a deep and unexpected look, and he pulled a smile with a wide grin on his lips, "Are you asking a duel, Felix?"

"A mere demonstration match."

Neither man took Lockhart into account.

Snape gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and simply drew his wand.

Lockhart on the side awkwardly found himself miraculously detached from the center of the vortex, his face regained enthusiasm, "It seems that we have to temporarily add a duel to our course, let us welcome the two professors!"

This time the stage applauded enthusiastically, Ron gleefully recited to Harry, "Honestly, I've waited too long for this day! Do you think Snape will be hospitalized?"

As a " strong fan " of Professor Hap, he is naturally on the side of Felix.

"It's just a demonstration match," Hermione stressed this point, but she still jumped up and down on her tiptoes.

Lockhart stepped back to the edge of the stage and applied a "Sonorus" on himself - a spell he was quite adept with thanks to his book signing presentations.

"I'm going to give you a commentary, although this is only a demonstration match, the real duel will not be like this, which requires a sharper sense of foresight to detect danger - for more details on this, please see my published works." Lockhart spoke eloquently, "But - it is still good for you. Following bow ..."

However, neither of the two on the stage paid any attention to him, and instead chatted with each other for a few moments.

"Felix, what do you want to do?"

"Professor, I just stopped by to take a look and make a contribution in the process."

"Don't lie to me!" The two were very close to each other, which made this conversation only each other could hear.

"Is it because Professor is only proficient in Legilimency?" Felix teased.

Snape grunted, in his eyes, the former student has a very strong sense of purpose, and now the behaviour, which he categorized as "Felix ready to seize the power with his first step".

The two bowed, each took seven steps backward, turned to look at each other, and raised their wands to their chests at the same time.

"As you can see, the two professors hold their wands in the usual dueling position," said Lockhart, fulfilling his commentary duties, "one of the three common dueling positions, next I will count to three, and they will cast the first spell."

The students at the bottom held their breath, and the atmosphere is completely different from the "demonstration" of Lockhart just now.

"One ... two ..."

"Snape will not be killed in seconds, right?" Ron shouted excitedly.

"I don't think so, gosh--" Hermione just about to say that Professor Hap looked up to Snape, but she is quickly stunned by the dazzling scene on stage.

"Three!"

Snape shouted, " Expelliarmus!" A dazzling red light flashed, and the spell quickly flew to Felix.

Felix twirl his wand, smoothly release a "Protego", an invisible magic barrier appeared in front of his body, Snape's spell bounced off, then he flicked his wrist, the magic barrier emitted a dazzling white light, and swiftly flew forward.

Snape sent out two spells in a row to break Felix's Protego, and the magic barrier quickly dissipated.

However, the white light from the Protego spell obscured Snape's vision, and when he subconsciously shifted his position - years of habit saved him once - three dull black lights brushed against him, the nearest one, almost against his nose.

All this happened in the span of less than three seconds from Snape's strong first strike, to Felix's defensive counterattack, and with the white light to cover the rapid release of three sneak attacks.

Lockhart: "..."

The little wizards: "..."

The duel continues, Snape does not dare to take it lightly, he has not made a move for almost ten years, although he has not given up on the exploration of magic, but he mainly focused on the improvement of potions.

However, he is quickly picking up the combat experience he once had, and after several rather thrilling deflections in quick succession, finally began to counterattack.

Both of their magic spells kept flying around, but both had a tacit agreement not to accidentally injure students.

A variety of defensive spells, attack spells, disarm spells cut through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, the distance between the two people sometimes quickly close, and sometimes far away, their feet keep moving from one position to another in small increments.

Lockhart wisely jumped off the stage after a spell grazed his hair, but he still commented loudly: "The duel is somewhat intense ... see their feet? MOVE, MOVE, don't just stand there, silly!"

Lockhart still got two brushes, at least eloquent, and through his explanation, many young wizards drifted into realization, sort of saving his image a little.

Snape scoffed at this, though, as he dexterously dodged a spell and drew an opening to counter. He felt that Felix's magic spells are gradually strengthening in power, which made him under more and more pressure.

Damn, this kid is putting pressure on me!

"Why does it feel like Professor Hap's magic spell is getting thicker and thicker?" Even many small wizards noticed this, but with their knowledge, they could only judge the strength of the spell from the "appearance".

Snape's wand shook violently, a strengthened version of the "Protego" blocked in front of his body, two hot red lights flew and one by one impacted on it, issued a "thud" sound, the magic barrier was torn open by a mouth gap.

Amazing magic proficiency ...

The second hot red lights hit the top with a "thud" sound, and the barrier was torn open.

The young wizards on the stage were dazzled, realizing for the first time that the so-called duel was not just a silly face-to-face magic spell, but that there were too many ways to cast spells in terms of speed, timing, means of defense, pace, and awareness...

But they do not know, both people did not use their full strength.

Felix slightly easily tilted his head to avoid a red ray, using this short gap to turn the wand to send a magic spell, the heart quickly assessed the limit of this potion professor.

Professor Snape's strength shouldn't be like this ...

The next second, Felix's heart suddenly rose alert, he threw out three shield charms in a row, and let it fly far out and in the way of the necessary path.

A crimson, powerful spell sliced through the air and quickly passed through the first and second barriers before rushing viciously towards the third one.

The young wizards' eyes widened, they might not be able to judge the strength of the spell, but Snape's spell left an ever-burning trajectory in midair, and also pierced through the shield charm's barrier in one fell swoop, they could see it clearly.

"Dang!"

A violent boom rang through the great hall.

Felix's third shield charm worked, bouncing off Snape's surprisingly powerful spell.

He smelled a hint of dark magic ...

The characteristics of dark magic incorporated into the disarming charm, Professor, you are really surprising me.

Do you have a much stronger magic spell? Do you still have a backhand ...

Snape is far from relaxed, he did hide some magic spells, but they are dark magic, can not be used in public, and looking at Felix's performance, even if he used it the effect will not be great.

He has surpassed me ...

Snape has never been so clearly aware of this at the moment.
