Chapter 180 Finally opened the gap in strength

"Andy, your skills are pretty good! Have you ever considered joining the Ravenclaw team and bringing glory to the academy together?"

An hour later, Andy and Zhang Qiu paused practice and sat in the stands with Hermione to rest.

Hearing this, Hermione also turned to look at Andy, "I also think you fly well. You can try pursuing the hand position."

"I?"

Andy shook his head, "I'll forget it! Quidditch training takes up too much time."

Hermione and Zhang Qiu didn't try to persuade them anymore.

They all have a certain understanding of Andy, that is, he is a guy who is crazy about magic.

"What time is it?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"Less than two o'clock."

Andy looked at his watch, "The Duel Club meets at three o'clock, and we can train for another hour."

"Then come!" Zhang Qiu stood up and said.

Andy's athletic skills were pretty good, and before he entered school, he was often dragged to play Quidditch by Ron. Although Zhang Qiu is very talented in flying, he is far behind Andy in terms of experience.

Fortunately, Andy is just a sparring partner, and winning is not Andy's main goal.

At two forty, Andy and Zhang Qiu stopped practicing.

"Qiu, you are very talented, but if you want to play, you have to continue to practice hard."

Andy concluded: "In Quidditch, fouling is also a science."

Zhang Qiu rubbed his ribs and said angrily: "So... is this why you fouled me?"

Andy shrugged, "If you don't believe me, ask Hermione, she must not have seen it."

Hermione did not see Andy's foul. Seeing both of them looking at her, Hermione said, "I saw Andy catching up with you, and then you suddenly slowed down, and Andy finally grabbed the Golden Snitch."

"Okay, I will study Quidditch's foul tactics carefully." Zhang Qiu compromised.

She doesn't really like fouling, but fouling is an essential part of the Quidditch game.

While chatting, the three of them returned to the castle together. After handing in the broomstick, the three of them went all the way to the sixth floor and arrived at the abandoned classroom where magic was practiced.

Seeing Andy and the three of them come in together, Cedric immediately looked at Andy with a resentful look on his face.

He had already heard about Andy and Hermione accompanying Zhang Qiu to practice Quidditch. And he, a Hufflepuff, was vaguely excluded by the three of them.

"On the court, we are rivals." Andy laughed.

"All right!"

Cedric raised his hands in surrender, but he would not give up such a good opportunity. "You have to train on your own, but if you don't understand anything technically, I can help you."

"Thank you!" Zhang Qiu didn't refuse.

"Okay, time is running out, let's start practicing duels!"

Andy suggested: "Cedric, how about we have a game first? This summer vacation, I can become a lot stronger."

Cedric raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence, so do I!"

Andy waved his wand to lock the classroom door, and then cast a silencing spell on the classroom to ensure that no one would come to disturb him and others.

"Hermione, you call to start."

Andy said something, and then distanced himself from Cedric.

"start!"

Hearing 'start', Andy quickly cast an iron armor spell on himself, then raised his wand and pointed it at Cedric.

At this moment, Cedric had just finished shouting the spell 'armor protection'.

This is the advantage of silent casting.

Reciting mantras also takes time.

Even if the time of reciting the incantation is actually very short, compared to the silent casting of the spell, that short time will seem extremely long.

If it were a real life-and-death struggle, this little time difference would be enough for Cedric to die.

Whoosh!

In Cedric's shocked eyes, a red magic beam directly tore his iron armor spell apart.

Before Cedric could react, Andy waved his wand continuously, pressing on Cedric with wave after wave of attacks.

Cedric fled around the classroom in panic. In less than a minute, he was easily disarmed by Andy.

Taking the wand handed over by Andy, Cedric shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Andy, I am no match for you now. You are truly a rare magic genius."

"Thanks!"

Andy said: "But I also work hard."

Life and death battles between wizards often rely on sneak attacks.

Because if two wizards were to prepare at the same time, it would be difficult to tell the winner.

Even if the magic attainments of the two wizards are high or low, the difference will not be too big. It is always possible to use the Iron Armor Curse to defend against several magics.

Unless one of the wizards is an athletic genius with extremely fast reflexes, while the other wizard is a moron with slow reflexes.

Andy and Cedric are prime examples.

Andy's magic skills are high, and Cedric's motor skills are strong. In this case, as long as Andy can't stop Cedric, the battle situation will be deadlocked.

But now, this situation is broken.

Silent casting gave Andy a huge advantage. He didn't need to recite a spell, he could just wave the wand to cast spells continuously. This was a dimension-reducing blow to Cedric.

The spell casting speed is fast, the magic power is strong, and you can even explode by adjusting your mood.

Andy is now considered a pretty good wizard in the magic world.

Zhang Qiu exclaimed: "I've known for a long time that Andy can cast spells silently, but I didn't expect that he is already so skilled."

Andy chuckled and gave Hermione a proud look.

Hermione unexpectedly did not show her face to Andy, but looked at Andy with a lively expression.

"You two take a break!"

Zhang Qiu suggested: "Hermione, how about the two of us try it?"

"No problem," Hermione responded.

Among the four, if ranked in terms of dueling abilities, they should be Andy, Cedric, Hermione, and Zhang Qiu.

Although Hermione looks like a nerd and is a little afraid of heights, the little witch's dueling ability is not bad at all. Her motor skills may not be very good, but her calculation ability is very strong.

The little witch can always use the most useful magic at critical moments.

Cedric suddenly suggested at this time: "I think you two can try it with Andy. I don't think he needs to rest now."

Andy was a little embarrassed.

There really is nothing tiring about waving a wand.

Not like Cedric, who was beaten by Andy and fled all over the room.

"sure!"

Zhang Qiu looked at Andy eagerly, "How about it, Andy? Do you dare to compete with the two of us?"

"Okay, come on then!"

Andy walked to the other end of the classroom and distanced himself from Hermione and Zhang Qiu.

"You guys start first!" Andy said casually.

"Stop being so arrogant."

Hermione blessed herself with the Iron Armor Charm. Seeing that Andy still didn't cast the spell, Hermione and Zhang Qiu looked at each other and raised their wands towards Andy at the same time.
