#345 - Chapter 345 The Essence of Teamwork

Sebastian was cornered by a group of angry professors.

Looking at Professor McGonagall leading the charge, Professor Sprout, along with the cold-faced Snape, and the gleefully watching Professor Flitwick, Sebastian knew he couldn't afford to offend them.

There was no way around it. With all four Heads of House present, plus a throng of new professors, even Dumbledore would have to temporarily retreat.

Honestly, Sebastian even wanted to go find old Dumbledore to settle the score.

Back when he had finished renovating the Duelling Club, old Dumbledore was the inspector and the first to try it out.

He didn't know what Dumbledore was inspecting, because he didn't discover such a big BUG.

Luckily, Mia tipped him off, so Sebastian wasn't caught off guard.

He repeatedly apologized, patting his chest to guarantee he would upgrade the Duelling Club, adding a time reminder function to all instances, so students wouldn't forget the time.

After such a commotion, the brand-new Duelling Club instantly became popular.

There was no way around it; many students were late and absent from class on the first day of school in the afternoon, an unprecedented event since the school was founded.

However, this made all the students interested in the new Duelling Club, and they all wanted to see what made the so-called instances so attractive.

After school in the afternoon, many young wizards couldn't even bother to eat, heading straight to the Duelling Club to experience the wonders of the instances.

Of course, those who were late or absent couldn't experience it. Amidst wails of sorrow, they could only reluctantly attend detention.

In just one evening, the students became obsessed with the interesting instances, which further ignited their passion for learning.

After all, these instances not only tested their spellcasting skills but also their basic knowledge of other subjects.

Often, students even had to answer related questions from NPCs to continue advancing the plot.

Among the many instances, the unopened [Warrior's Glory] particularly attracted the curiosity of all the students, as it was a multiplayer confrontation instance, which sounded super exciting.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Friday evening arrived. When Sebastian entered the Great Hall, the students greeted him with the warmest cheers.

"Professor Swann, we've been waiting so eagerly for this day."

"Is tonight's lecture about the [Warrior's Glory] instance?"

"Are you going to personally demonstrate a multiplayer confrontation for us, right?"

Seeing the students' enthusiasm, Sebastian smiled slightly and went straight to the point.

"Since everyone is interested in multiplayer confrontation, let me ask you, in multiplayer confrontation, what is the most important quality?"

"Strength! Strength, without a doubt," Fred shouted loudly.

The other students nodded in agreement, without any disagreement.

"Strength is certainly important," Sebastian nodded. "With absolute strength, you can indeed sweep away all obstacles."

"However, for the Triwizard Tournament, the students who are selected as champions certainly have no problem with their strength."

"That is to say, in terms of strength, everyone's differences won't be particularly large."

"Everyone knows that there will be more than one champion this year, and they will inevitably form a team. At this time, what do you think is the most important?"

This question...

The students' faces showed thoughtful expressions.

Harry kept his mind racing. After thinking about the instance at noon, he tentatively said: "Cooperation?"

"Well said, Harry!" Sebastian praised. "In multiplayer confrontation, the team's level of cooperation is often more important than individual strength."

"Good cooperation can fully utilize the abilities of each person in the team to maximize the team's combat power."

"For example, when Aurors handle cases, they often move out in teams, so that even when facing powerful dark wizards, they can have a fighting chance."

Hearing this, the young wizards suddenly understood, especially those who had experienced multiplayer instances, immediately realizing the importance of cooperation.

"Here's a question," Sebastian said with a smile. "Those who can be selected as champions must have almost formed their own combat styles in terms of dueling."

"For example, the speed attack style, the Transfiguration style, or the gorgeous spellcasting style."

The students were extremely impressed by this, basically seeing different professors' dueling teachings in the Duelling Club every year.

Moreover, many students still clearly remembered the wonderful exhibition match from the previous two years.

The professors' different dueling styles naturally attracted the young wizards to imitate and learn.

Nowadays, the students more or less have shadows of these different styles on them.

"How to integrate different combat styles in multiplayer battles is the important content of our team combat learning today."

"To make it easier for everyone to understand, I'll use the classic three-man cell tactic from Muggles as an example here."

"The three-man cell, as the name suggests, is a combat team of three people. In this combat team, the three people respectively undertake the responsibilities of attack, cover, and coordination."

"Translated to our situation, different dueling styles often take on different responsibilities in multiplayer combat."

"The speed attack style, famous for its violence and rapid spellcasting, is suitable for players of this style to act as attackers in the team."

"In the team, they need to use the fastest and strongest magic to forcefully break through the enemy's defenses, creating opportunities for their teammates."

"To put it in the words of some game enthusiasts, this is DPS."

The young wizards listened with rapt attention, not even willing to blink their eyes.

"The Transfiguration style, famous for its attacks with various transfigured objects, is suitable for players of this style to act as cover in the team."

"Complex and colorful transfigured objects can help teammates defend against spells, and can also distract the opponent's energy."

"And the spellcasting style," Sebastian glanced at the attentive young wizards, "plays the role of coordinator."

"In other words, this is a free agent in the team, who needs to use exquisite spells to properly assist in different situations."

"When it's time to be violent, be violent; when it's time to assist, assist. Binding Charms, Smoke Screens, Firestorm, and even some detection spells must be readily available."

The young wizards listened with fascination. They never thought that so much could be said about team combat.

Suddenly, Fred raised his hand and asked.

"Professor, I have a question. During the champion selection, we don't know what dueling styles our teammates are."

"What if the styles clash at that time?"
