Hogwarts: Bloodline Legend

Chapter 850 - 240: Casting! Ian’s Abnormality!

The classroom of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Light filtered through the stained glass windows, casting a colorful patchwork of shadows on the floor.

"Oh, Old Man Ge is muddled!" Ian sat at his seat, secretly regretting, feeling that Grindelwald was definitely old and senile, not realizing that he himself was the best substitute teacher.

The magic ’Black Snake Emerges from the Hole’ really isn’t interesting. Using Dark Arts to counter Dark Arts, that’s the true path of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class! Something like ’Drilling Heart Bone’ against ’Drilling Heart Bone’, ’Avada Kedavra’ against ’Avada Kedavra’, that’s the real concept of fighting fire with fire. As long as you chant Avada fast enough, what Dark Wizard is there to fear?

"Good friends are still not bold enough!" Ian wearily fiddled with the magic wand in his hand, occasionally glancing at the professor "Lockhart" on the podium, who was actually Aurora.

At this time, Aurora, with Lockhart’s face, was wearing a professor’s robe and standing upright on the podium, concentrating on explaining the key casting points of the magic ’Black Snake Emerges from the Hole’.

"Black Snake Emerges from the Hole, an ancient and dangerous defense spell..."

Aurora’s voice was gentle and clear, with a signature smile on her face, but that smile had more patience than the previous Professor "Lockhart". It could summon an aggressive venomous snake to defend against the invasion of dark forces. But remember, use this magic with caution, because if it gets out of control, the consequences could be unimaginable."

"Pay attention to the syllables of this magic spell, it’s ’Serpensortia’. The pronunciation should be accurate, with the second syllable slightly raised, especially the ’Ser’ syllable which requires the tip of the tongue to gently against the palate." As she spoke, she demonstrated, with the wand flexibly moving in her hand, making standard gestures, "The gesture of holding the wand is also crucial, the wrist should be relaxed, this way it can better guide the magic power."

It must be said.

The "Lockhart" professor Aurora was impersonating continued explaining the casting key points of the magic ’Black Snake Emerges from the Hole’. She was indeed more detailed and patient than Grindelwald, clearly showing a solid foundation in this aspect. She explained thoroughly from the syllables of the spell to the gestures of holding the wand, and the students were listening attentively.

Ian swept his gaze across the classroom, noticing that all the students were fully focused on Aurora’s explanation. Almost everyone is very attentive when learning aggressive magic.

This might be the latent violent gene in the hearts of Hogwarts students.

Then.

It was Aurora’s round of questioning to the students.

She ignored Ian whose hand was almost raised above his head, and chose a few students she deemed lacking in learning ability, then after they answered, she provided targeted suggestions and help.

Students know students best.

After everyone had a certain grasp of the theoretical knowledge of magic, Aurora clapped her hands and smiled, suggesting, "Now, everyone pair up for battle practice. One side uses this magic to attack, the other defends, through real combat to fully assess everyone’s grasp of magic."

Aurora’s voice pulled Ian’s thoughts back to reality from his daydreaming.

Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable firmness.,

It sounded very strict, yet upon hearing it, the students were initially stunned, then all breathed a long sigh of relief. Ian looked around, noticing the relieved expressions on his classmates’ faces — which was understandable, after all, compared to the terrifying creatures faced in previous classes, today they only had to deal with a magic snake.

For students long subjected to Grindelwald’s continuous psychological shadows, this was practically heaven’s treatment.

Whispers immediately arose in the classroom, with everyone starting to look for pairing partners.

Ian was the same, confidently standing up, believing that he, who considered himself very popular, would have no trouble finding a battle partner.

How should I put it.

It can’t be called narcissism either.

He was indeed well-liked. It’s just that as soon as everyone heard Ian wanted to team up with them, almost everyone instinctively started shaking their heads like a rattle drum out of fear.

Is being too strong also a mistake?

Sometimes it is.

Clearly, no one had the guts to team up with the renowned Ian in Hogwarts, and the tales of Ian and Slytherin were still legendary in everyone’s minds.

"Qiu, want to team up with me?" Ian turned to the Asian girl nearby, offering a friendly smile. Yet, even the fairly familiar Qiu Zhang hesitated and shook her head.

"I don’t want to end up in the school infirmary." Compared to other little wizards, Qiu Zhang simply spoke the truth, just like Ian’s two roommates, she also didn’t want to become Ian’s defeated opponent.

"Plastic friendships! It’s all plastic friendships!"

The little wizard kept hitting walls one after another and couldn’t help but sigh up to the sky. And just at this moment, Aurora, who had been standing on the podium, with Lockhart’s face, somehow appeared nearby.

"It seems Ian couldn’t find a partner." Aurora spoke aloud with a hint of laughter in her voice, imitating Lockhart’s flamboyant style while looking at the other students.

"How about I team up with Ian to demonstrate for everyone?" There was a twinkle in her eyes, as if anticipating something.

Ian was somewhat speechless.

And the students all agreed, thinking it was a brilliant idea.
