Chapter 402 Harry Vs Polyakov
After introducing the competition system, Bagman announced: "Next, the referee and safety officer of the competition, deputy director of the Auror Office, Miss Nymphadora Tonks will announce the rules of the duel."
Immediately, Nymphadora Tonks, wearing a handsome white Auror uniform, walked onto the podium, causing another burst of cheers.
On the night of the World Cup, Tonks wore the same uniform, calmly commanding the Aurors and golems step by step, and the scene of finally surrounding and annihilating the thugs was still vivid in his mind.
Since that battle, Tonks became famous.
"Hello everyone, I am Nymphadora Tonks." At this time, Tonks looked serious and spoke simply, completely different from her usual playful and noisy appearance.
Her introduction was very simple: "There are only four rules for dueling:"
"First of all, it is the determination of victory or defeat." Her voice was clear and powerful. "When one party in the duel cannot stand up to effectively resist within ten seconds, or falls off the duel stage, then he is deemed to have failed. The winner is The attack must stop at this time."
She paused for a moment and then said: "Secondly, it is the determination of a tie. If both parties in the duel lose the ability to resist at the same moment, or fall off the duel stage at the same time, or there is still no winner within fifteen minutes, then the outcome of the duel will be The duel will be considered a draw."
"Furthermore, regarding the use of magic props and potions." There was a hint of sternness in her tone, "In the duel arena, except for the wand as the only weapon, warriors are not allowed to use any magic props or take potions. To improve their abilities. After the duel, they can only use recovery magic and potions provided by the organizer's designated therapist to treat their wounds. Other potions are prohibited. By the way, these therapists are all from Shengmang Go Magic Hospital, professionalism and safety can be guaranteed.
Finally, she raised her voice, her tone full of seriousness and solemnity: "What I want to emphasize in particular is that all warriors are absolutely prohibited from using the three unforgivable curses in duels! This is iron discipline, and any violator will be severely punished. punishment."
Of course, there is only the Unforgivable Curse,
Tonks made no mention of the dark arts.
When designing the rules, Dumbledore did consider the idea of banning black magic, but he would never bring it up, otherwise Carkaro Well would fight for him.
Durmstrang has this advantage. If black magic is banned, what else is this not targeting?
After Tonks stepped down, Bagman took over again.
"Next, I announce that the third game of the Triwizard Tournament has officially begun - the players from the first game are invited to take part!"
Amid Bagman's enthusiastic noise and the cheers of the audience, the game began.
The first game is between Harry Potter from Hogwarts and Polyakov from Durmstrang.
Referee Tonks took the lead on the duel stage and stood on the center line.
Harry Potter and Polyakov walked onto the stage from both sides of the duel stage and stood facing each other.
Harry held his wand and stared intently at his opponent, his mind unconsciously drifting back to last night and recalling Sirius' encouragement to him.
"Harry, your strength is already very strong. As long as you perform normally, most junior masters will definitely not be your opponent."
This is what Sirius said after the last duel training with him last night,
In Harry's eyes, Sirius was indeed a great duelist, but he still had some doubts about his opponent's evaluation.
In Harry's opinion, Sirius was looking at people with the old eyes of his generation, and somewhat did not understand the strength of Xiaogang of his generation.
Because when he was training with Levin, he almost only received blows.
In order to train the three warriors, Levin found many young wizards as sparring partners.
Their strength is not as weak as Sirius said.
Let's not mention Hermione and Fleur for the moment. They are the real warriors. It is normal that you cannot defeat them.
But even those young wizards who occasionally come as sparring partners, he can hardly beat them.
For example, his crush Zhang Qiu and Ravenclaw's school girl Luna are both better than him.
It was also at Levin's place that Harry discovered for the first time that Ginny's dueling skills were so good - the little girl who used to cry beside him had grown up. 7
Even Levin's roommate Steve and Slytherin's school girl Astoria can tie with him.
All he could do was bully Gabriel and Malfoy.
Oh, by the way, Gabrielle can't be counted either.
This is not a matter of strength, but because she is only in the first grade.
He competed with Gabrielle, and no one looked down upon him even if he won.
All in all, after Levin suffered a series of failures, Harry never had a clear positioning of his own strength in his mind.
It even felt like Sirius was actually encouraging him by saying these words.
He had never thought about what kind of monsters these people he trained were among their peers.
Potter, Potter!"
"ah?"
Tonks' call rang in his ears, and Harry woke up from his reverie and realized that he was no longer on the platform.
"Sorry, ma'am," Harry smiled awkwardly, "I was a little distracted."
Tonks mistakenly thought that Harry was nervous, so she comforted him: "Don't worry, Harry, I'm here. If there is any danger on the field, I will take action immediately, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt."
Tonks looked very reliable, nodded gratefully, and then turned her attention to Dr. Polya.
Tonks returned to her seat, holding her wand high.
"Both sides take their positions——"
"Bang!"
A bunch of magic fireworks were launched into the sky by Tonks,
At the moment when the fireworks bloomed, the four pillars surrounding the duel stage lit up instantly.
Four invisible barriers rose to separate the inside and outside of the duel stage.
Harry and Polyakov took action instantly!
"[Expelliarmus]!"
"[Thunderbolt Explosion]!"
Polyakov is indeed a wizard from Durmstrang. He comes up with a powerful black magic and wants to kill Harry with one move.
But this powerful spell was too slow, and as a Seeker, Harry was agile enough.
During Levin's training, he had learned to take advantage of this and dodge it with a light and neat roll.
The blasting spell that lost its target hit the barrier behind him directly.
The explosion in the spell did not activate, but was completely absorbed by the barrier.
This pillar and the barrier within it are also Levin's masterpiece, specially designed for the dueling ring.
After activation, an anti-magic barrier will be formed between the two pillars. This is a variant of the [Anti-Magic Field], which can prevent any magic from passing through the barrier.
...Please give me flowers...
Compared with the [Explosion Curse], Harry's [Disarming Curse] is much faster.
The red magic spark came to Polyakov in an instant.
When he found that he could not avoid the [Disarming Curse], he quickly cast the [Iron Armor Curse] and successfully blocked Harry's attack.
But Polyakov immediately discovered that the power of this spell was far beyond his expectation. Under the effect of the magic backlash, his whole body was shaken.
At this time, Harry's second [Stun Curse] had followed.
Polyakov didn't have time to use the [Iron Armor Curse] again, so he had to imitate Harry's example, roll around like a lazy ass and fall to the ground, thus barely escaping the attack.
It can be seen that in the duel field, the power and lethality of the spell are not the most important.
The key is who masters the rhythm of the battle,
This is what Levin spared no effort to instill in the three warriors during this period of training.
Only two rounds into the game, I was already being beaten all over the floor...
Polyakov finally realized that even if the opponent was only a fourth grader, his actual combat effectiveness was not as weak as he thought.
0
I underestimated the enemy too much.
"【Sudden Wind Whirlwind】!"
The serious Polyakov ignored his embarrassed posture and directly summoned a gust of wind on the ground.
Caught off guard, flying sand and rocks hit Harry's face, and he had to cover his face with his hands and try to stand firm to prevent him from falling.
Polyakov took the opportunity to get up and regroup.
The audience in the audience were amazed when they saw the two men engage in several wonderful confrontations in a short period of time.
Although the power of the spells they use is not particularly powerful, duels are not always about pursuing powerful power and gorgeous special effects, but this kind of battle of wits and courage is also very exciting.
"Principal Dumbledore, although Harry from your school only became a warrior by accident, his strength is indeed worthy of this title.
Mrs. Maxim looked at the two people fighting on the stage and said with praise.
Compared with the hugging in the first game and the good luck in the second game,
After three games, this was the first time Harry showed an ability that she recognized.
"Thank you very much, Madame Maxime. Harry still has many shortcomings." When Dumbledore said this, his eyes were full of smiles, obviously showing humility.
He finally discovered that his chosen savior had finally improved in ability.
The two of them communicated with each other, completely ignoring the ugly look on Karkaroff's face.
Karkarov thought that in the third game, Durmstrang, who is good at black magic, would be able to show off his talents.
Who would have thought that just Harry and Polyakov would have a back-and-forth fight?
This made him suddenly start to worry about Krum.
On the field, the two sides attacked and defended each other for several more times, and the situation began to become anxious.
After all, Polyakov is older and has been specially trained in black magic. His spells are more powerful and have more magic power, so he has always taken the initiative.
However, Harry was more agile than him. Although he did not master any powerful black magic, he was very proficient in the existing spells. He could use them quickly and accurately, and his attacks were very threatening.
The two of them were at a stalemate.
The picture shows Tang Keshisi.
