Chapter 54 Professor McGonagall’s Judgment

A sudden turn of events, this is the most appropriate word to describe the battle situation.

The crazy troll no longer dodges Daphne's attack, and hits Daphne with a stick at the cost of an extra wound on her chest. If she hadn't been good at flying, she would have suffered a big loss.

But even if she dodged the blow, the negative impact of this mistake was not eliminated, and she suddenly lost the initiative. The troll's attack became more and more fierce, and Daphne was struggling to survive.

At this time, the disadvantages of using flying magic were exposed. In order to avoid the troll's attack, Daphne could only focus all her attention on controlling the flying magic, leaving almost no time to fight back.

However, such a violent attack was naturally unsustainable. The speed of the giant's swinging stick slowly decreased. Daphne finally found a chance to distance herself from it and pointed the wand in her hand at it.

Who would have thought that the slowed-down wooden stick in the troll's hand suddenly accelerated, forcing Daphne to hastily cast defensive magic. Several hexagonal transparent shields emerged in front of her, forming a barrier in front of her. .

Daphne's accomplishments in defensive magic were obviously not as good as flying magic. The barrier she deployed was shattered by the giant monster, and she also hit the wall of the corridor.

The next moment, the troll's free hand grasped her ankle and lifted her head down.

"Save me!" Daphne looked at Les subconsciously, hoping to get his rescue, but what she met in her panic and anxious eyes was a pair of indifferent eyes.

Les stood there quietly, his hands wrapped in the sleeves of his robe, like a spectator.

Stand by and watch, the word could not be more appropriate here.

After meeting Les' cold gaze, Daphne instantly regained her composure as if she had been splashed with ice water.

Wind blade!

The troll's head, the size of a cocoa bean, was directly opposite her. Daphne took advantage of the troll's success and when it was relaxed, raised her wand and cast an attack spell on its head.

The wind blade formed by the spell slashed across the giant monster's face and hit the bridge of its nose. The wind blade cut off the bridge of its nose, scratched both eyeballs, and almost cut off half of the monster's head.

The same two-inch wound had a completely different effect on the back than on the head.

The troll threw away the wooden stick and Daphne in his hand, held the wound on his head in vain with his hands, and let out an earth-shattering scream.

Daphne, who was in shock, immediately used all her strength to maintain her balance after being thrown out, and then flew back dozens of feet to distance herself from the troll. Standing in the distance, waiting for this dying giant to drain out the last bit of life in its body.

After seeing Daphne get out of danger and kill the troll, Les also let go of the wand hidden under his sleeve. But on the surface he still maintained his indifferent appearance.

The troll hit the floor like a collapsing hill, making a deafening noise.

"Congratulations, you passed this practical training." Les applauded Daphne.

Daphne froze in place for a while, and then she realized: Did Les really not save her just now? !

"This is your actual combat exercise. I told you to complete it independently." Les spread his hands and said that he had already said it clearly before. Why would you ask such a question?

Daphne sighed. Even though she had made it clear beforehand, she still had a bit of luck in her heart, thinking that she had a special status in Les's heart and that he would not really let her be eaten by the troll.

result……

This truth was cruel to her. Maybe it was just a matter of convenience that Les taught her the spell.

"It's time to go." Les's expression changed, he took out the wand from his sleeve, cast a disillusionment spell on himself and Daphne, and then trotted away from the "crime scene" with her. Before leaving, Les also used his wand to blow out a stream of smoke, destroying the traces they left on the scene.

Looking at Les's actions, Daphne suddenly narrowed her eyes: Where did this guy take out the wand just now?

Less than a minute after the two left, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick arrived.

"Minerva, I heard—"

"I heard it too, look over there."

The two professors easily discovered the corpse of the troll, and they both frowned as they looked at the situation at the scene.

"This giant monster was killed just now, not more than five minutes ago." Professor Flitwick squatted beside it and observed the state of its corpse, as if he couldn't smell the stench of the giant monster.

From the temperature of the corpse, he concluded that the giant monster was very "fresh".

"Reveal quickly!" Professor McGonagall made a prompt decision, trying to use magic to restore what happened here a few minutes ago.

There was a faint phantom floating in the air, but when the phantom was about to take shape, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared in the corridor, disturbing the formation of the phantom.

"I was disturbed." Professor McGonagall sighed. The wizard who killed this giant monster was indeed no ordinary person. She carefully observed the corpse of the troll, hoping to analyze some useful information from it.

From the size of the killed giant monster, it is not difficult to tell that it was an adult giant monster. It was killed by someone using a cutting curse or other spells, and the fatal wound was on the face. But the depth of the wound on its body is too shallow. Such deep trauma can only give the troll a fatal blow if hit on the head. Hitting other parts of the body will completely anger it.

Professor McGonagall was lost in thought.

Slowly, the image of the wizard who killed the giant monster emerged in Professor McGonagall's mind: Facing the approaching giant monster step by step, the man was not nervous. Instead, he casually cast a few magic spells, leaving a trace on the giant monster. Several wounds. When it was enraged and rushed towards him, the man casually used a cutting spell to kill the giant monster.

He is an opponent worthy of attention.

After sharing his speculation with Professor Flitwick, Professor Flitwick also narrowed his eyes.

"Dare to do this, you are not an ordinary artist who is bold. This kind of person is lurking in Hogwarts only for that thing." Flitwick reminded Professor McGonagall that there is still something hidden under the corridor on the fourth floor. An incredible thing.

Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly became solemn.

"How this giant monster came in is also very suspicious. It has never happened like this for so many years. If it was put in artificially, it means that there is more than one force coveting the stone and sneaking into Hogwarts."

The worry lingered in Professor McGonagall's heart. She was actually a little dissatisfied with Dumbledore's arrangements.

When the Philosopher's Stone was stored in Gringotts, someone tried to break into Gringotts and steal it. As a result, Dumbledore moved it to the school even though he knew that someone was concerned about the Philosopher's Stone. This was simply to take advantage of the students. Safety kidding!

Professor McGonagall decided to have a good chat with Dumbledore.
