Chapter 367 Da Army
"Then, we will officially start class."
In the Response Room, as Mike's words fell, the students who were chatting in groups immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Mike with all their attention.
This is the difference between this kind of spontaneous make-up lessons and ordinary courses. When dealing with this kind of spontaneous make-up lessons, most people will not be as distracted as in ordinary classes. Instead, they will listen carefully because they know that this is Their own choice.
Mike smiled slightly, came to the open space and said to everyone:
"As your temporary professor, I know very well that the reason why many of you are here is purely for my fire spell! After all, art is explosion, isn't it?"
Hearing this, the crowd immediately burst into laughter, and many of them even continued to echo Mike.
Mike stretched out his hand and pressed it. After the scene became quiet, he continued:
"But what I want to say is that although the various variants of the Fire Curse are powerful and have very handsome light effects, they are not suitable for you. As students, I think what you need to master is a method that can truly ensure that you The spell to survive the attack of black magic is not the so-called attack spell. Therefore, what I want to teach you today is 'Safe Guard' and 'Total Protection'."
"I've never been a person who likes to be verbose, so I'm going to show you the effects of these two spells now."
After saying that, Mike raised his wand and started to circle around the position where he just stood as the center while chanting "All protection".
After a while, everyone saw that the air around Mike began to tremble slightly, as if Mike had created a stream of hot air in the open space, thereby heating the surrounding air.
"Okay, the spell casting was successful!" Mike shook his wand and faced everyone again, "Now please use magic spells to attack me, no matter what kind of magic spell it is."
Everyone who was listening to the class was shocked when they heard this. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to cast the spell on Mike.
Mike shook his head, pointed at the crowd and said:
"Franklin, come on!"
"Hey!" Franklin was happy when he heard this, and excitedly raised his wand to Mike, "Wadi Wasi!"
As the curse was recited, several thick books on the bookshelf nearby suddenly flew up and hit Mike straight away.
Those thick books were more than ten centimeters thick, and their weight was so shocking that if they hit a person, they would probably break their bones.
Hermione exclaimed instinctively, the worry in her eyes undisguised.
But Mike didn't know whether she was worried that Mike would be hit by the books, or whether she was worried that those precious books would be damaged.
"Bang! Bang!"
As a few muffled sounds were heard, something surprising happened to everyone present.
The books that were thrown at Mike stopped as if they hit a wall when they flew in front of Mike.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Mike in the clearing shook his head at Franklin with a mocking smile on his face, which made the latter a little angry, and he waved the clenched wand again.
"Expelliarmus!"
A bright red curse flashed out, leaving a blood-red afterimage on everyone's retinas, and then hit the still twisted air in front of Mike, just like a stone falling into water. There were ripples.
There was warm applause from the crowd. It was the first time for most of them to see such a high level of protection spell.
"Everyone, I believe you have seen it. This is the function of total protection." Mike spread his hands and said, "It can create a layer of shield to protect a specific area. It is very suitable for use in emergencies. At the critical moment, protect some important immovable target, such as Hogwarts Castle, or your girlfriend."
Mike pointed at a couple in the crowd, and the crowd burst into laughter again.
"Then the demonstration of all the protective spells has been completed. I believe you have seen the specific spells and casting procedures. Of course, there must be people who have not understood or remembered the various details inside (Neville was embarrassed) Lowered his head), you can ask me these questions again later, and now, I want to demonstrate the next spell to be taught today."
"Secure and safe!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Mike recited the spell while the blackthorn wand in his hand continued to slide in the air.
As the blackthorn wand slid, the large area of air it passed through suddenly trembled slightly as before. Gradually, after Mike circled the circle again, it was distorted again. surrounded by air.
"It's still the same as before. Is anyone willing to give it a try this time?"
Mike, whose body shape was a little distorted by the reflection, said this. After hearing this, after seeing Franklin's demonstration, a large number of people who wanted to try it suddenly appeared. Everyone rushed to raise their hands, everyone wanted to Be the lucky one chosen by Mike.
"Well..." Mike touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "You guys come together!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone no longer hesitated, and all kinds of lights lit up from everyone's wands.
"The gangsters fell to the ground!" "All turned to stone!" "Expelliarmus!" "Fighters against big sticks!" "Beautiful girl transformed!"...
Dozens of beams of various colors were directed at Mike, who was spreading his hands in the center of the field to welcome a hug. Harry and Ron had closed their eyes in fright. Hermione next to them was much calmer than them, but that There was still a hint of worry hidden in his shining eyes.
"飒 ~ 飒 啾 ~"
Various magic spells hit the distorted air in front of Mike with a sound that broke through the air, but the next scene left everyone stunned.
I saw that all the magic spells that were supposed to hit Mike directly changed their directions after passing through the twisted air, and shot towards other places.
Some of the spells were even turned 180 degrees and shot towards their masters.
Fortunately, the members of the mutual aid association brought by Mike have been vigilant and stopped the curses in time, otherwise those who cast the spells would have suffered the consequences.
"This is the Peace Guarding Spell!" Mike walked out of the distorted air area with a smile. "It can deflect most evil spells, including many perception spells..."
The wand in Mike's hand shook, and an invisible blade shot out quickly. It hit the 'Safety Guard' and was deflected and shot towards the ceiling.
"Pfft!"
A nearly two-meter-long gap was cut in the ceiling of the Room of Requirement, and there was another exclamation from the crowd.
It was only then that the second half of Mike's sentence was spoken: "...even curses and black magic are no exception!"
What Mike uses is the 'Shen Blade Shadowless Curse'. Many people who follow Mike are actually familiar with this strange curse.
The emergence of this spell has also cheered up those who were a little disappointed because what Mike taught was not an attack spell, because as long as this 'Defense Against the Dark Arts Group' can continue to be held, then they will be very successful. Maybe you can learn the powerful and handsome magic spell of 'Shen Feng Wu Ying'!
"Since the angle at which 'Safe Guard' deflects the jinx is random, I don't recommend that you use this spell when there are many companions around you, because it can easily injure friendly forces by mistake." Mike said, "But this It does not mean that it is useless. In fact, because it can deflect many perception spells, this spell is extremely useful for the escape and infiltration of small units. I hope you can use these two spells flexibly. curse."
"Speaking of this, I believe many students have discovered that the two protection spells 'Total Protection' and 'Safe Guard' have many similarities. For example, they are both barrier-type protection spells, and they are both Variations of the Iron Armor Curse." Mike said, "But what I want to say is that they actually have a special skill that can be shared, that is, it can be released by multiple people!"
"Whether it is 'Safe Guard' or 'Total Protection', they all have limitations on the strength and duration of the shield, and since their protection range is much larger than ordinary armor spells, their release threshold is also very High. This leads to the fact that even if many people reluctantly release these two protection spells, their effect may not be as good as an ordinary 'armor protection'. In order to solve this shortcoming, it is also to allow everyone to better To protect myself, I specifically asked Professor Flitwick for advice, and he gave me a perfect solution. That is - teamwork!"
"Yes, you heard it right, what I am talking about is teamwork. The two protection spells I demonstrated above can be multiplied by the cooperation of multiple people, so that their duration and effect can be doubled. So next, I Let me explain to you how to run it..."
Half an hour later, under Mike's command, everyone started trying.
They often form groups of two or three, with one of them acting as the attacker, while the rest stand together and release 'Safety Guard' or 'Total Protection' to defend, and then continue to rotate.
Among everyone present, the senior members of the mutual aid association brought by Mike performed the most outstandingly.
The most outstanding group of them even succeeded in releasing the combined protection spell after several attempts, and successfully blocked the 'fainting ground' shot by their compatriots.
Mike was not surprised at all by this. The age law in the wizarding world (the older a minor wizard is, the stronger his magic power and control, and his strength can even increase geometrically.) is still applicable to ordinary wizards.
Combining protection spells is a spell-casting skill that is easy to learn but difficult to master. New wizards can easily cast it successfully if their magic power level is sufficient.
But that doesn’t mean they’re proficient.
The key to the difficulty of releasing the combined protection spell is to coordinate the magic output of everyone to maximize efficiency.
As for the currently successful groups, their magic power conversion efficiency is simply eye-catching.
The strength of the protection spell they released was only slightly stronger than what they released individually, but the magic power output was several times higher.
"Okay, our time is almost up." Mike looked at the clock on the wall and said loudly, "Everyone, please stop."
Hearing this, everyone put down what they were doing, with expressions of unfinished expression on their faces.
"I know everyone is very excited, but it's already very late now. If we don't go back, I'm afraid many of us will be detained tomorrow for sleeping in class." Mike said with a smile, and there were also voices from the crowd. There was a burst of laughter, "But before officially announcing the end of get out of class, we still have two things to deal with.
The first thing is about the name of our organization. "
Mike looked at Harry, who nodded excitedly.
"I discussed it with several other founders. We have always believed that the name 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' is not enough to echo our will to resist Umbridge, so we decided to officially change the name to 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' Army, that is, Dumbledore's Army!" Mike said, "You may not know it, but Harry Potter and I clearly felt his fear of Dumbledore during our contact with the Minister of Magic Fudge. I'm afraid that the reason why Dumbledore wants to become the headmaster of Hogwarts is entirely to form a suppression 'band' to overthrow him. Although we all know that this is impossible, but now that he has sent Umbridge To disgust us, then why don’t we actually form a Dumbledore’s Army!”
There was sparse applause from the crowd. It was obvious that everyone didn't care much about the name of this organization. Most of them came here just to learn advanced defense against dark arts and dueling techniques.
"Then I'm going to talk about the second thing." Mike looked at Hermione, who gritted her teeth and finally stepped forward.
"Everyone, let me talk about this matter." Hermione said with a serious face, "I believe you all remember that I asked everyone to sign their names to ensure that we know who is coming."
Everyone nodded. Hermione took a deep breath and said:
"What I want to tell you is that that piece of parchment is actually a magical contract, with an extremely vicious curse attached to it. If any of you dare to violate the original promise and the general's secret is revealed, you will be cursed. Full of chickenpox and pimples! What’s especially important to note is that this is a curse! I bet that even the professors in the school can’t easily break this curse, so if any of you really have the idea of treason, I advise you It’s better to bury it. Because the consequences of that curse will be with you for the rest of your life!”
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
Many people were panicked, especially girls. The curse of chickenpox and pimples on their bodies was simply a nightmare for them.
Soon, the panic turned into anger.
People began to curse Hermione continuously, and some even threw the debris in their hands at Hermione, while the latter had a guilty look on his face, neither throwing much nor dodge.
"Quiet, everyone!"
A huge sound swept through the entire Response Room. Everyone instinctively covered their ears and looked at the originator of the huge sound - Mike.
"This is just an insurance measure for some of you. As long as you keep your promise, the curse will never happen!" Mike said seriously, "Of course, if you firmly refuse to accept this approach, I can also You release 'All Forgotten' to erase all your memories of the military, but you are also aware of the side effects of 'All Forgotten' occasionally causing people to become forgetful. Now, whoever wants to quit can raise their hands! "
In the crowd, the members of the mutual aid association looked indifferent, while Qiu Zhang and more than 20 people had frightened faces. However, no one raised their hands, whether it was the members of the mutual aid association or Qiu Zhang and others.
"Not bad!" Mike nodded with satisfaction, "Then now I declare that get out of class is over!"
