As usual, Ke Wen went to the edge of the cliff early in the morning to practice the "Three Fights", and then returned to the auditorium to wait for the meal.
There will be two consecutive 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' classes this morning. This is the only major class of the week.
The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is a balding middle-aged man named David Kuros, who is the new professor this year.
The professor looked very professional. After class, he was carrying a suitcase in each hand. He didn't say much after entering the classroom. He opened the suitcase in his right hand and placed it at the innermost side of the classroom.
In addition, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is a rectangular room with a large space, twenty meters long and fifteen meters wide.
Professor David Kouros took out the contents of the box and assembled them, eventually forming a device that looked like a baseball transmitter.
After the arrangements were properly arranged, Professor David slowly came to the middle of the classroom and said to all the students: "Before the lecture, I need to remind you that the purpose of our course is to teach you how to defend against black magic and how to use it when encountering danger.
The magic spell saves you from danger, it is not about teaching you black magic or curses."
Looking around at all the students, Professor David continued: "I don't want any idiot to try to ask me to teach him some curses or the like in the future."
The unkind tone made the students in Gryffindor and Slytherin houses gasp.
Satisfied with the effect he had caused, Professor David nodded and continued: "So first of all, who can answer me what is the most commonly used defensive spell?"
All the students seemed to be frightened by the professor's previous attitude, and no one raised their hands for a while.
When Professor David saw this, he couldn't help but look ugly, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Answer my question! Doesn't anyone know such simple common sense?"
"If this is the case! Then I will express my great disappointment to you and I will deduct twenty points from each of your two colleges."
As soon as Professor David finished speaking, students from the two colleges raised their hands.
"Tell me!" Professor David pointed to a Slytherin student.
"Professor, it's a barrier spell."
"Yeah." Professor David said with a straight face and a nasal tone to indicate that he was correct, and then asked: "Does anyone know other answers?"
The students who knew raised their hands again.
"Tell me!" Professor David pointed to a Gryffindor sitting in the front row of Coven.
"And the Armor Charm, Professor."
"Hmm." Professor David spoke nasally again.
Without intending to give extra points to students who answered correctly, Professor David stepped forward to the baseball transmitter-like mechanism.
After standing still and turning around, Professor David said: "Listen up, now I will teach you the incantation of the Obstacle Curse."
Raising his voice, Professor David read: "impedimenta, remember? impedimenta! What are you waiting for? Read it with me! impedimenta!"
"impedimenta." The uneven reading sounds came out one after another.
Professor David asked everyone to read it five times, and then continued: "Remember the essentials of the wand's action, throw it forward with force, no matter which direction you come from, just throw the wand forward with force, and point the tip of the wand in the direction of the source of danger.
Remember it?"
"Remember..." came the reply.
"Everyone, get up, come down and line up!" Professor David directed.
The students stood up one after another, came to the open space, divided into two columns according to the college, and stood up.
"Next, I will use this magic prop to launch hollow rubber balls at you." Professor David patted the machine next to him and said, "What you have to do is to use the obstacle spell I gave you to block it.
Rubber balls, don’t let them fall on you, do you understand?”
"understood……"
"Gryffindor comes first!" Professor David pointed his wand at the student at the front of the column: "Are you ready?"
"Okay, I'm ready Professor."
The student at the front of the column, named Benedict Schake, was so nervous that he kept swallowing saliva, and the wand on his chest was trembling slightly.
Professor David ignored Benedick's nervousness and said, "I'm starting." Then he immediately pressed the button on the top of the machine next to him.
With a 'swish' sound, a red rubber ball instantly shot out from the cylinder in front of the machine.
"There are many obstacles..."
Bang!
There was a muffled sound that seemed hollow, and before Benedick could finish reciting the spell, the rubber ball had already hit his chest.
At the same time, Benedick finished reading the last pronunciation smoothly, but because he was hit, the wand in his hand did not move, and he was stunned.
"Recite so slowly, do you think you are reciting poetry?" Professor David reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Be more sharp-tongued! While reciting the incantation, wave the wand for me! Don't wave the wand after reciting the incantation!"
"There are many obstacles!" Benedick recited the spell faster this time. At the same time, he also remembered what the professor said and cast the spell in advance.
Bang!
There was another empty sound. Unfortunately, although Benedick successfully released the curse, he was still a step too slow and let the red rubber ball hit his chest again.
"You go and practice while I'm here!" Professor David said with a straight face: "Now that I'm reminding you, you're still so slow to react! When you fight with people or dangerous magical creatures in the future, do you still need me to remind you? Go!
Practice the speed of casting spells at the same time! Come forward next!"
As Benedick walked away with a sad face, Coven took a step forward lightly, his arm holding the wand hanging casually by his side.
"Are you ready?" Professor David reminded Coven as usual.
Seeing Ke Wen nodding, Professor David pressed the button again to start the machine.
Bang!
A red rubber ball quickly rushed out of the cylinder in front of the machine and shot toward Kewen.
"There are many obstacles."
The voice was neither soft nor serious, and he spoke quickly. The wand in Ke Wen's hand was only slightly raised, and the tip of the wand was pointed in the direction of the rubber ball.
Bang!
An invisible barrier instantly blocked the rubber ball, causing it to bounce back quickly, fall to the ground halfway, and roll back to Professor David's feet.
Professor David was slightly stunned, but he immediately put away his expression, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, but now is not the time for you to show off. You should swing the wand in front of you as I said."
"Can I ask why, Professor?" Kewen asked.
"Because what you will face in the future will not be something as light as a rubber ball." Although Professor David has a bad attitude, he still answers the question dutifully: "No one knows how heavy the dangerous attacks you will face in the future, so you swing
The movement of the wand is to make the defensive emotions in your heart stronger. The stronger the emotions in your heart, the higher the defensive effect of the spell will be."
"I understand, thank you, Professor." Kewen suddenly nodded and said thank you...
