Ch 876-880
Ivan reached out his hand and picked up the Gryffindor sword on the head of the bed, and looked at it carefully.
This gorgeous sword looked no different from the past, but Ivan clearly felt that the magic inside it seemed to have been strengthened to a certain extent.
The original Gryffindor Sword did not have the ability to destroy the Horcrux, as can be seen from Harry's failure to break the defense when he first attacked Nagini.
However, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it can absorb all favorable factors and use it to strengthen itself. Now it seems that the scope of this "favorable factor" is extremely wide. In addition to basic substances, it also includes the power of spirit and will!
As a master alchemist, Ivan is no stranger to this kind of emotional energy. For example, he used it when he repaired the crescent moon pendant last school year.
It's just that his current level is very limited, and his use of emotional energy is relatively superficial, just storing it, and then using it to bless some kind of magic when needed.
Unlike the Gryffindor sword, it seems to be able to recycle this power and strengthen itself permanently.
"I really don't know how those fairies made this sword..." Ivan stroked the body of the sword and exclaimed, very greedy for the craftsmanship of the fairies.
Thinking of Harry's description, Ivan squeezed the hilt of the sword to try to see if he could pour his will into the sword, but after tossing for a while, there was no faint glow of the sword as Harry said. Even the test of summoning the sword of Gryffindor failed.
Is it possible that he is a fake Gryffindor? Ivan was a little embarrassed.
No, it is absolutely impossible, it must be because my will to summon this sword is not firm enough...
After all, he was a serious wizard, and he didn't have the desire to attack people with a sword.
"Do you remember how you injected power into this sword, Harry?" Ivan asked, turning his head to look at Harry.
Harry hesitated for a moment. He remembered that he didn't seem to have done anything at the time, but his brain rushed up, thinking about **** Nagini.
After listening to Harry's statement, Ivan was a little bit dumbfounded, and really didn't know what to say.
But this also made him understand that probably only the incomparably pure will can evoke the resonance of the Gryffindor sword.
Perhaps Dumbledore realized that Harry was a zealous rash... the young man was so sure that he would be able to kill Nagini smoothly.
Thinking of this, Ivan put the Gryffindor sword aside, because this sword didn't seem to be very suitable for people like him who fight with his brain. In comparison, he also believed in the power of the magic wand more.
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you just now..." Harry said suddenly as if he had remembered something. "When I saw the professor in another world, he told me that he was waiting for someone. If that person is willing to keep the contract, he should be coming soon!"
"Waiting for someone?" Ivan was taken aback for a moment, and his brows frowned soon.
"Do you know who he is waiting for? Hals?" Snape asked curiously.
"Gellert Grindelwald!" Ivan said very affirmatively, then looked at the puzzled expressions of the two and continued to speak. "Professor Dumbledore and him used to be very close friends, but later became enemies because of some conflicts of ideas."
Harry was dubious. He could hardly accept that Professor Dumbledore would make friends with a famous dark wizard like Grindelwald when he was young...
This is even more ridiculous than Voldemort being a Gryffindor.
Snape also felt unbelievable. Everyone in the magic world knew how much Dumbledore hated black magic and had been fighting against it all his life.
But when he thought of Dumbledore deliberately arranging for himself to lure Voldemort to see Grindelwald, Snape swallowed the rebuttal again.
Ivan didn't explain much about this matter. After all, Dumbledore's people were already dead, and there was really no need to expose each other's scars.
There are very few big figures in life who can make a perfect curtain call without any blemish. Even if some mistakes were made in the first half of his life, Dumbledore's great name would not be compromised.
"Professor Snape, can you please help me see this?" Ivan took a reagent from the pocket of the wizard's robe and handed it to Snape.
The latter held out his hand in confusion, and glanced down. There was some black and red blood attached to the transparent reagent, which looked very strange.
"This is Grindelwald's blood! He replaced Dumbledore taking part of the damage from the dark magic. Can you judge his current physical state by this thing?" Ivan said solemnly.
He had stayed in Neumundgaard for an entire hour before, not as simple as patronizing and setting fire, but also collecting the blood that dripped when Grindelwald cut his left hand.
It's a pity that these blood have problems, otherwise it would be a good material for arranging black magic curses and making compound soups.
Snape opened the lid gently, sucked out some blood with a magic wand, and floated in the air to examine it carefully. He had been the attending doctor for Dumbledore for two years, and he was naturally aware of the characteristics of this strange black magic. I know it very well and I will soon come to a conclusion.
"If there is no accident, he can support it for about two months at most." Snape waved his wand to put the blood back in, and said.
"If you come for the diagnosis and treatment, regardless of the cost, are you sure to save Grindelwald?" Ivan asked again.
"Absolutely impossible! The degree of corrosion is too deep, and it is entangled with magic, at least I can't think of any way." Snape shook his head, feeling somewhat rejoiced.
Grindelwald is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I am afraid it will not be better to deal with than Voldemort. Now that he learned that this dangerous person was about to die, Snape felt relieved for a while.
Ivan on the side also did not reject Snape's judgment, because this was basically consistent with his guess. It took Dumbledore for two years and he failed to completely get rid of this weird black magic. Greenward again What can be done?
"Since he is going to die soon, why should he escape from prison?" Harry asked puzzled.
Ivan rolled his eyes, and he was just about to ask this question. With only two months of life left, even if Grindelwald had an amazing plan to dominate the world, it would be too late to implement it.
As for finding someone like Dumbledore to bear the harm of this curse?
Think with your feet and know that this is impossible!
Even a powerful wizard of their level can't hold on for a year. They have to be replaced by ordinary wizards. Under the erosion of black magic, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it for ten and a half months!
Moreover, this plan is only a stopgap measure, it is still to die if it is delayed for a while.
"But he must think he can solve this trouble..." Ivan muttered to himself. Only in this way can he explain why Grindelwald chose to escape from prison, instead of staying in Numon Gadri and waiting to die.
It is impossible for a dying person to follow the newspapers of England and all of Europe all day long...
Ivan recalled his previous contact with Grindelwald, and many doubts resurfaced. What made him most concerned about the so-called agreement. What exactly did Dumbledore agree with him?
Ivan never believed that things would be as simple as Grindelwald said!
A slightly more comfortable environment is not worth making Grindelwald give everything to take on Dumbledore's damage from the black magic.
Such a transaction is obviously unbalanced, but what if a weight called freedom is placed on the other end of the balance?
Ivan has not forgotten that Grindelwald was almost unrestricted in the tower when we met last time...
Now that I think about it, maybe there was it before, maybe it was Dumbledore who deliberately unlocked the chains for him in order to let him deal with Voldemort.
And Grindelwald did not leave immediately because he knew that Voldemort would bring the Deathly Hallows to the door by himself sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Harry and Snape and tried to get some clues from them, but Madam Pomfrey had been standing around him for some time, her eyes like a knife.
"Halse, I have to remind you that you have been talking for ten minutes, and I think Potter and Severus need a good rest!" Madam Pomfrey said solemnly.
"Well, ma'am, I'll leave now!" Ivan shrugged helplessly, and didn't mean to argue with Madam Pomfrey.
Snape and Harry had gone through two consecutive battles, and their minds had almost reached their limits. It was indeed time for a good night's sleep.
...
A few days passed in a flash, but the shadow of the Grindelwald attack still hung over Hogwarts. The little wizards discussed the attack during and after class, and even went out to the bathroom in the middle of the night. You have to be in groups, for fear of individuals coming out of the shadows.
Not only that, but nearly a quarter of the parents applied for withdrawal or temporary suspension because they all expressed doubts about the security issues at Hogwarts. According to the children's report, there were five professors and ten. Several Aurors were present, but failed to stop the intruder.
Pierce had to send someone to reply letter by letter, trying to save the students as much as possible.
But Pierce's heart is also very puzzled. In recent years, similar vicious incidents in Hogwarts have not been rare. I haven't seen these parents have such big opinions before.
However, he wanted to break his brain and did not understand that many little wizards wrote to their parents and cried out every day, just to avoid the next final exam...
Fortunately, the discussion about Grindelwald was quickly replaced by another heavy news. The Daily Prophet published the good news of Voldemort's defeat on the third day after the attack.
Any wizard who hears this news will feel fortunate and have endless doubts. After all, the news came too suddenly, and Voldemort died silently, not even a corpse was left.
The headline of the newspaper only said that the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic found the place where Voldemort was hiding, and planned an ambush to capture the Dark Lord in secret, but Voldemort vowed not to surrender and was injured. After more than a dozen Aurors, they were shot dead on the spot by everyone, and the body was blown into a puddle of mud...
"The Ministry of Magic should make up a better story..." Ivan threw the prophet in his hand on the table and shook his head speechlessly.
Is this the story that the Aurors spent three days racking their brains to come up with?
It's too outrageous!
"And they didn't even mention Harry!" Ron said angrily.
"No! They mentioned it!" Hermione turned the Daily Prophet over and said, pointing to a certain section. "The above said that Professor Snape was an undercover agent sent by the Ministry of Magic to the mysterious man. Thanks to his transmission of information, the Aurors were able to discover the mysterious man's whereabouts, and Harry was responsible for the bait to bring the mysterious man out... "
"But they didn't say that the mysterious man was killed by Harry, did they?" Ron was still a little uncomfortable.
"Come on, Ron, I didn't know what was going on that day." Harry said relievedly. He didn't care much about being robbed of credit by the Ministry of Magic, because the biggest hero who killed Voldemort should be Green. Dewo is right.
Ivan also nodded and said in agreement. "This matter is too complicated. The Ministry of Magic is right to cover up part of the news! What the British wizards need most now is confidence. They don't want to know that the Dark Lord killed the Dark Lord!"
In addition, the information about the Horcrux must also be concealed. As long as you kill a person, you can divide your soul and achieve immortality. This is too temptation for the black wizard.
Although the method of making Horcruxes is little known, there are still some records in the collections of some ancient families.
"But now you can change your mouth and call him Voldemort!" Ivan said with a sudden smile.
Hermione and Ron froze for a while, and they realized this at once. The mysterious person is dead, so why should I be afraid of him?
"Yeah, mystery man...oh, no, Voldemort is nothing great!" Ron hesitated for a while, then said carelessly.
Harry and others on the side also laughed...
The shadows condensed in everyone's hearts were gradually dissipated by the laughter, but such a good mood did not last long, because Hermione quickly took out a pile of books to remind them that it was time to review!
Harry and Ron's complexion suddenly collapsed. They are the same, haven't they reviewed it yesterday? Why is the expression I have to review again today...
"How many of the standard casting actions of the conversion spell have you remembered? You all understand the principle of the transformation spell? Who suppressed the goblin's rebellion..." Hermione questioned endlessly~www.mtlnovel .com~ Harry and Ron were speechless at once, because none of Hermione's questions could be answered, but it was indeed possible to appear as a test site, and the two of them could only hold up the book in distress and open it up.
Ivan's mouth evoked a faint smile, if he didn't care about the trouble of Grindelwald, he would have enjoyed such a noisy and leisurely life.
It's just that this trouble may not be resolved in a short while. Grindelwald is more cautious than he thought. He didn't make any big moves during the whole week, and the Wizards' Association did not hear anything. good news.
It is inevitable to repeat the same mistakes, Ivan did not dare to leave Hogwarts casually to search for the other party's whereabouts, and Grindelwald with the invisibility cloak is not so easy to find.
Only then can Ivan feel a little bit about Dumbledore's situation back then...
As the exam day gets closer, the atmosphere in the castle has become more and more condensed. Even the little wizard who is usually naughty and mischievous has to temporarily stop his mind during this time and fully cope with this event. An important test that determines the future direction of life.
Seamus and Neville, who are in the same bedroom, suffer from test anxiety, and even recite "Standard Spells" when they are dreaming.
But one thing that surprised Ivan was that during this period of time, Harry and Snape's relationship did not ease as he expected, only slightly changed.
That was Snape finally stopped suppressing them in Potions class, and his attitude toward Harry turned from hostility to ignorance, as if Harry Potter was not in the entire school.
Conversely, Harry also didn't know how to face this man who had spoken badly to him, but was willing to protect him with his life at a critical time...
Every time the two meet in the corridor, the atmosphere always looks particularly embarrassing.
Regarding Harry and Snape's extremely inconspicuous performance, Ivan felt amused, but at the same time, there was no way to change it. After all, the misunderstanding between the two had long been resolved, and he had done everything he needed to do...
In such a tense review atmosphere, the first L. exam soon arrived.
On Monday morning, Yifan and others simply ate breakfast, and then gathered outside the hall to wait. Each .L. exam was divided into two parts: theoretical and practical subjects, usually in the morning and afternoon. The exam location is in the wide auditorium.
Candidates of each grade were called into the auditorium from class to class, and under the heavy supervision of the professor and the commissioner of the Ministry of Magic, they completed fifty questions within the specified time.
Ivan was probably the most calm one among all the students. After finding his seat, he slowly opened the examination paper and checked it.
[Please write the spell that makes the object fly, and describe the standard action of waving the wand...]
[What are the commonly used cracking spells of the imprisonment spell? ]
[How to deal effectively if your companion is hit by a petrification spell...]
...
"It seems quite simple..." Ivan looked through the papers and found that the difficulty of the .L. exam was much lower than he expected. Basically, they were all not too advanced basic theoretical questions. In the past five years Corresponding answers can be found in the curse textbooks.
This kind of rote memorization, for Ivan, who has the Ravenclaw crown, is a sub-question, and it's done!
Ivan fought so hard to write and fill up the entire answer sheet in less than half an hour after the test started.
As for the remaining time, Ivan is thinking about what can be improved in the Hogwarts examination system.
The first is that the content of the exam is too monotonous or not in-depth enough.
This is probably related to the usual course study.
In order to be able to graduate early, Ivan had already read all seven grades of textbooks, but he did not see any research and exploration on magic and magic itself.
The teaching content of Hogwarts is only to teach the students the widely used spells, so that they know how to use magic.
This may be enough for ordinary wizards, but for Ivan, a real magical civilization still needs a large number of academic wizards with an inquiring spirit!
Just like Muggles' tireless exploration of scientific knowledge, wizards can also create more practical magic to transform the world by understanding the characteristics and essence of magic.
At this point, Ivan is very confident, because the more in-depth research, the more he can understand the huge potential of magic.
There are many applications in space and time in the existing magic system alone, and the Philosopher's Stone made by Nicol Lemay can completely change the nature of matter.
This is something difficult for scientific research to do in hundreds of years, and it is also the advantage of magic!
It is a pity that Ivan is extremely pity, because most wizards cherish their broomsticks and focus on the study of academic school wizards are scarce, so many advanced spells have been lost.
This is especially true in terms of alchemy. Nowadays, the fairies have no ability to make a second Gryffindor sword, and the wizards are also unable to study the time converter.
If one day the Department of Mystery Affairs of the Ministry of Magic was burned to ashes, time travel would never be possible.
This situation is naturally not what Ivan wants to see, it must be changed!
And the school is the best hotbed for cultivating the spirit of inquiry!
For example, when Snape was in the fifth grade, he was able to develop practical spells such as "Shenfeng Wuying" and "Fuchsia" on his own, and also improved the ratio of many potions by the way.
Such top-level research talents were unknown in Hogwarts at the time, and failed to get attention. It really made Ivan a little hard to understand. If this was replaced by Muggle colleges and universities, various honors and awards would have been arranged long ago. Up!
Of course, part of the reason was the chaotic situation in the magical world at that time, and Snape didn't like publicity, but it also showed that Hogwarts' education system was not perfect enough to dig out these research geniuses.
And George and Fred, they have excellent talents in making magic items. If there is alchemy in Hogwarts, they will shine in class...
Ivan turned his quill pen and racked his brains thinking that he should add a few courses to Hogwarts next school year.
Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the exam, stared at him for a long time, thinking that Ivan was stumped by which question. He walked a few steps curiously and found that this guy had already finished writing, just in a daze.
Ten minutes later, the bell for the end of the exam rang on time, and Ivan handed in the test papers, and then left the exam room with Harry and others who were nervous.
Hermione could not wait to confront Ivan with the answer almost as soon as she stepped out of the hall~www.mtlnovel.com~ Finally, she worried that she had not answered comprehensively on the petrification curse.
"In addition to the curse and the special healing curse, there are three other potions that can quickly remove the petrification state. I didn't think of this at the time..." Hermione said very annoyed. Realizing this will definitely deduct points for her.
"You didn't answer any questions, Hermione, this is not an exam in the potions class. I wrote those three out just for insurance." Ivan said helplessly as he looked at the tangled little witch. "You have to have a little confidence in yourself. No one can test better than you in theory courses."
While the two were chatting, Harry and Ron on the side looked at each other and did not dare to intervene. They only filled out a curse for that question, and at the time they were ecstatically thinking that at least this question would definitely get a perfect score... …
"By the way, Ivan, don't you have to take the N.E.W.T. exam at the same time? Did they send you two test papers?" Hermione suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.
If she is not mistaken, the exams for fifth-graders and seventh-graders are basically conducted together, both in these few days, unless you use the time converter, you will not be able to catch up.
Ivan shook his head and explained. "I am graduating by skipping a grade this time. I will not take the exam with other seven-year students. The Ministry of Magic will arrange time for me separately. I heard that many people will come and the difficulty will definitely be much higher than the normal N.E.W.T. exam."
Strictly speaking, he was also the first candidate to graduate early in Hogwarts history. Even with Pierce's special approval, he had to be convincing.
Listening to Ivan's words, Harry and the others became interested in this special exam immediately, but thought that they had to take another O.W.L. exam in the afternoon, and they got a headache again.
...
For two weeks, the little wizards at Hogwarts spent intense exams and preparations.
When the exam for the last magical history course was over, the students who walked out of the exam room all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the distribution of the results usually has to wait until the school leaves, they still have about a week before that they can relax.
As for the special exam prepared by the Ministry of Magic, the time has also been set, on the last day of June.
Ivan got up early as usual, and when he walked to the auditorium, he discovered that it had been decorated. The long table of the four college staff had long been removed and replaced by a temporary examination table.
Probably for the sake of propaganda, the Ministry of Magic did not stop people from entering and exiting. The little wizards who came to watch the exam filled the entire auditorium, and it was like a festival.
"Oh my God, even the Minister of Magic Pierce and Merlin Knights Chief Goshak are here." Ron looked at the invigilators on the stage and couldn't help but stunned. This is the first time for him in such a big scene. see.
"Go, Ivan, I believe you will be fine..." Hermione encouraged, and Harry and Ron also patted Ivan on the shoulder to cheer him on.
"Of course, do you need to talk about it?" Ivan nodded with a smile, and then walked over the three of them to the examination table.
Richard Gorsak, who was chatting with several professors, was the first to notice Ivan's arrival, and took a few steps forward happily, and said with emotion. "Long time no see, Hals! When I first awarded you the Merlin Medal, I guessed you would definitely accomplish something..."
"You have a good reputation, Captain Goshak." Ivan humbly replied. He still admires Richard Goshak, the upright and non-pedant leader of the Merlin Knights.
After exchanging a few words with Gorshak, Ivan turned his head to meet the Acting Minister Pierce, the invigilator Tofordi, Macchiban and others at first sight.
It is worth mentioning that the Daily Prophet also sent a reporter, it was Rita Skeeter, an old acquaintance of Ivan!
But after a few months, Rita Skeeter looked haggard. When facing Ivan, although there was still a formulaic smirk on her face, there was a deep fear in her heart.
As a senior gossip reporter, Rita Skeeter can naturally figure out what happened in the newspaper six months ago, and vaguely understand how her immediate boss was retired.
If she had been angry that Ivan threatened herself with a handle before, then now she didn't even dare to think of revenge.
Ivan chatted with Rita Skeeter as usual.
Although he doesn't like this gossip reporter very much, he still has to admit that the other party is very talented in fooling the people and changing public opinion, and that he has good control. It may not be a sharp blade to the enemy.
"It's almost time, Hals, now I ask you to stand on the exam field quickly." McGonagall glanced at the clock, and interrupted the greetings of Ivan and the others.
Ivan nodded, walked all the way to the center of the examination room, and stood facing everyone like this.
Since today is the four practical courses of transfiguration, curse, divination, and defense against the dark arts, there is no desk or chair in front of him, only a small table about one person high.
After Ivan stood still, Professor McGonagall looked at Pierce and obtained the consent of the acting minister, then cleared his throat and spoke.
"Then the exam starts now. The first one is Transfiguration. The target of transformation is the wooden table in front of you. You can turn it into any animal... We will base on the completeness of your transformation and the time it takes To judge the results."
"I see, professor!" Ivan gestured to the invigilators on the stage one by one, and then slightly shook his wrist, and the wooden table in front of him quickly deformed as if it had melted.
Under everyone's attention, in the blink of an eye, a strong fire suddenly ignited and wrapped the wooden table in. Hermione who was watching was taken aback, thinking that something went wrong with Ivan's spell, Harry and Luo. En was equally worried.
The eyes of McGonagall and others who were in charge of the examination were filled with surprise. The next second a sweet fairy rang sounded in the auditorium!
A golden-red phoenix emerged from the fire, waving its wings and hovering above the auditorium. Crimson flames surrounded its body, and its tail flames continued to shed from the air like a gorgeous firework~www.mtlnovel. com~ The little wizards onlookers exclaimed, and even the commissioners of the Ministry of Magic opened their eyes.
"Amazing, this is a...Phoenix?!" Professor Macchiban looked up at the phoenix flying above the auditorium in surprise, muttering to himself.
Peel and the others were also stunned by Ivan's exquisite transformation skills. If they hadn't seen the spellcasting process with their own eyes, they would have thought it was a real phoenix.
"Those fires... how did you do it, Hals?" Professor McGonagall asked eagerly. She could also do it after deforming a creature similar to a phoenix, but it would never be possible to give this kind of creature control. The ability to fire!
"This, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being, Professor McGonagall." Ivan shrugged helplessly. This situation also exceeded his expectations.
In the process of transforming, he felt that the blood of the Phoenix in his body was suddenly drawn, and then the "Phoenix" that was deformed automatically possessed a certain ability to control fire.
Although this ability is very weak and incomparable to the original Phoenix, it aroused Ivan's curiosity. If he further develops the Phoenix's blood, will he be able to be like Dumbledore's members one day, Summon a phoenix that truly belongs to him...
The humming phoenix hovered a few times in mid-air, and then slowly landed on the table in front of several invigilators.
Pierce, McGonagall, Flitwick, and others all leaned closer to watch this magical creature up close. Macchiban couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but was accidentally burnt by the flames surrounding the Phoenix. For a moment.
Everyone was 100% sure that this was the real fire, not a false illusion.
"It's incredible!" Professor McGonagall murmured to herself. As a master of transfiguration, she was even more surprised than everyone present.
But since Ivan didn't want to say more, she was too embarrassed to ask more, so she could only hold her curiosity in her heart.
Seeing several invigilators spinning around the Phoenix he had turned into, and touching them in silence for a long time without announcing the final result, Ivan could only remind him. "Excuse me, did I pass? Professor?"
"Of course! This is the best transfiguration I have ever seen!" Marchiban said excitedly.
She has been in charge of the Examinations Administration for more than a century, and the genius she has seen is too powerful.
The one that impressed her most was the N.E.W.T. test taken by Albus Dumbledore at the end of the last century. At that time, she was ashamed of her as an examiner by the exquisite transfiguration skills of the other party.
Maqiban thought that after that experience, he would never be surprised by the outstanding performance of a certain candidate in his lifetime, but he didn't want genius to have no limits!
Professor McGonagall on the side also said with appreciation. "Hals, I am afraid that you have already surpassed me in terms of transfiguration skills. I don't think even Principal Albus can do better than you."
McGonagall's evaluation is undoubtedly high and astonishing. Dumbledore was recognized as the strongest wizard in the British magic world before his death. Even after his death, the wizards in the British magic world still have great respect for him.
And as everyone knows, Dumbledore is best at Transfiguration...
After the two had expressed their opinions, Pierce quickly took over, praising Ivan for his outstanding performance, and even said that the existing examination evaluation system could not reflect Ivan's transfiguration level far beyond his peers.
"Hogwarts should be on the top of Outstanding (excellent), and then add a higher evaluation." Richard Gorsak also smiled jokingly.
If other students have achieved "outstanding" results in Transfiguration because the other party possesses this ability, then Ivan got this evaluation entirely because Outstanding is the highest evaluation they can give...
"Since everyone has no doubts, let's proceed to the next test, and then it's the turn of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class..." Flitwick softly reminded them that they are going to do a full four this morning. There is not much time for the exam.
Pierce nodded, looked away from Phoenix, and turned to Ivan. "For the second exam, we will directly take actual combat drills, okay? Hals... Mr.?"
"Of course, Minister!" Ivan said indifferently.
Pierce immediately winked at the Aurors who were in charge of maintaining order in the auditorium. Three of them quickly walked out of the crowd and stood opposite Ivan in a semi-circle.
"They are all elite strikers of the Ministry of Magic. Next, they will use black magic to attack you. What you need to do is to defend or crack the spells they use..." Pierce explained.
"Wait, Secretary Pierce, is this too much?" Professor McGonagall frowned as he looked at the three batters. "Although Hals has a very good level of spells, he is still a child. We can't ask a little wizard who has not graduated to deal with three battle-tested hitters."
Listening to McGonagall's words, Pierce's expression suddenly became very weird. He couldn't help wondering if McGonagall had any misunderstanding of the word "children".
A person who has the courage to enter the Ministry of Magic and kill the Minister, and beat the Dark Lord in Knock Down Alley, is definitely not suitable for a child-he usually calls this a monster!
But in front of everyone, Pierce naturally didn't have the guts to say that, so he had to explain it again. "I think Mr. Hals is able to deal with such a small scene. Last year, when he confronted the fire dragon and the mermaid, it was much more dangerous than this."
Professor McGonagall's words suddenly stagnated. Of course, she knew that Ivan's strength should not be underestimated. She once rescued Harry from Voldemort with Sirius, but Ivan's age always made her subconscious. Ignore this.
"What do you think, Hals?" Professor McGonagall hesitated, and finally handed over the choice to Ivan.
"I believe Minister Pierce's arrangement." Ivan shrugged and replied casually.
Without Professor McGonagall's restraint, Pierce immediately waved his hand and looked at the hitters. "Thompson, you can start!"
It is inevitable that some people made mistakes because of fear, and he personally selected the three hitters responsible for this exam.
These people didn't know that the little wizard in front of him was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Ministry of Magic, so they wouldn't show any signs of timidity before the battle.
As Pierce expected, Thompson and others, after hearing the instruction, held their wands and stared at Ivan intently.
They witnessed Ivan's magical transfiguration skills with their own eyes. Naturally, they won't have the slightest feeling of contempt. What's more important is that so many people are staring at them. All my face is lost!
Compared with the prudence of the three hitters, Ivan seemed relaxed and free, and even put the wand in his hand directly into his pocket.
Such an almost contemptuous move ~www.mtlnovel.com~ saw Thompson's heart burst into flames, and immediately took the lead in attacking regardless of the amount of bullying.
"Langlock~ (lock tongue to seal throat
"Oppugno~ (Ten Thousand Bullets
"Expelliarmus~ (except your weapon
Three consecutive spell beams flashed in mid-air. As an elite striker, even if they hadn't discussed it in advance, Thompson's team still cooperated very well.
The tongue and throat curse prevents the opponent from casting spells. Ten thousand bullets are used to block possible retreats, and the disarming curse is the final lore!
Under the attention of everyone, Ivan seemed to be really affected by the tongue and throat curse. Facing the dazzling red light and a large number of sharp gravel, he did not recite any spells, but raised his index finger. I tapped before...
Ivan's slow reaction made Thompson feel a little regretful, because the little wizard in front of him was not the real enemy. If they were taken away by a wave of tacit cooperation and made ugliness in public, wouldn't he offend this destined little wizard with boundless prospects? .
