Chapter 1192: The Foundation of Others
“A sneeze!”
Albert suddenly sneezed and stretched out his hand to rub his nose.
“There is a flaw!”
Katrina, who was sparring with Albert, immediately seized this opportunity and attacked Albert from an angle she thought was tricky.
Facing the oncoming magic spell, Albert raised his wand and waved it lightly, easily blocking Katrina's attack and causing the magic spell to bounce towards the target on the right.
After stopping Katrina's attack, Albert corrected her: "What you should do now is practice how to cast spells silently in a duel."
"knew."
Katrina doesn't think the silent spell is very useful. When the spell is cast silently, not only will the power of the spell be greatly weakened, but the difficulty of casting the spell will also be greatly increased, and some more difficult spells will not be able to be used. , even if ordinary wizards master silent spells, it is difficult to take advantage of them in actual combat. Chanting spells loudly is the mainstream in the magic world.
“You have to remember that fighting is more than just fighting.”
Albert seemed to see through Katrina's thoughts and seriously reminded: "If you just stay in place stiffly and fire spells at each other with the enemy, that is too low-level. The battle is far from what you thought." Simple, you have to know that most Aurors are actually third-rate goods. Once you systematically learn basic combat skills from me, you won’t need to worry about most of the dark wizards, and they will no longer be your opponents. .”
“If the Aurors are third-rate, then who are the others?”
Katrina's lips trembled slightly, and she knew that Albert was indeed qualified to comment like this. Whether it is as a duel champion, or he is one of the few people who stand at the top.
“Children play with mud. For the sake of management, the Ministry of Magic has never thought of teaching other people this knowledge!”
"Like this, like this, like this again." Albert raised his wand and made a series of swings forward. "A quick start can give you an advantage in a duel. This applies to most wizards, because they still have You need to recite a spell, but you can easily counter the opponent's spell so that the other party can't even finish the spell."
“The method of casting spells is conducive to connecting subsequent spells faster and more smoothly, without leaving any chance for the opponent to breathe.”
“I don’t think anyone other than you can really use your quick spells after learning them.”
Katrina felt that what Albert taught was very unreliable. The reason why Albert was so strong was not only that he could cast spells quickly, but also because his spells were also very powerful. Even if he didn't use powerful spells, he would still cast spells very quickly. Able to defeat enemies easily.
The coma spell is a ready-made example. It will cause you to faint immediately after being hit. The effect is quite obvious, but others cannot learn it at all, because their magical power is far less than that of Albert, and the power of the coma spell cannot reach Albert at all. Bert's level.
"It seems that you still don't understand." Albert was a little helpless, "A wizard's power is never achieved overnight. From the spell casting techniques, the magic spells mastered, his own magical power, and even combat experience, it takes a while. Little by little, you have accumulated, and now you..."
"So, I have learned the defense against black magic for so long, just to copy your method?" Katrina raised her eyebrows. She actually didn't want to hear these things, and she didn't even want to learn these defense against black magic knowledge, because The difficulty was so high that she doubted that most of the Hogwarts students could be wiped out just by training on how to use silent spells in battle.
“Yes, you can think so.” Albert did not deny it.
“But, why?”
"Because my level is better than 99.99% of wizards, and it is easier to learn, master and copy." Albert said without thinking, "I think it will be difficult for you to find your own way in the duel field. Road, so imitating me is actually your best choice, after all, the basic upper limit is high."
“As long as you can use magic spells as smooth and smooth as mashed potatoes, at least you don’t have to worry about losing to others in a duel. Well, don’t waste time and continue practicing silent spells!”
Albert waved his wand lightly, and a puppet used to practice spells slid over. It would become Katrina's practice target, "I don't expect you to master those complicated silent spells right away. You You only need to master the silent magic of stun spell, disarm spell and iron armor spell. They are the most effective tricks in my opinion to deal with enemies. Under normal circumstances, you only need to make your enemy lose the ability to resist, rather than kill them directly. Because they lost their ability to resist, they basically became fish on the chopping board.”
“Oh!” Katrina responded, raising her wand to practice the silent spell on the puppet target in front of her.
Using the silent spell is actually not difficult for her. The real difficulty is actually using it in combat. If she wants to use it smoothly, she needs to spend more effort in this aspect. During a battle, others will not stop and wait for you to hold back a spell. This is why most wizards need to recite a spell, because reciting a spell is faster than a silent spell most of the time.
"How about it?"
Albert lifted the magic shield around Isobel, sat down on the sofa next to him, looked at Isobel who was gesturing with the wand, smiled, reached out and grabbed her palm and said, "In the future, you If you want to learn, I'll take the time to teach you. I think it shouldn't be too difficult for you to learn these things."
Isobel put the wand next to her, looked at Katrina practicing silent spells in front of her, turned her head and said to Albert, "If all the professors at Hogwarts can be like you, everyone will definitely become an outstanding teacher." Master of Defense Against the Dark Arts."
“It’s not difficult to learn how to duel. What’s really difficult is mastering them.”
Albert patiently explained the reason to Isobel, "Most duel masters have their own system, but I am fast, accurate, and ruthless."
"Under normal circumstances, as long as you are fast and accurate, basically 90% of wizards will not be your opponent, because before they can react, they will be disarmed or knocked down by you, even if they can't really do anything When it comes to silent casting, you must also know how to recite the incantation quickly, just like when we used to practice silent incantation in school, many people recited the incantation in a low voice."
“But doing this is actually very bad, because it does not mean that you have truly mastered the silent spell. There is still a big gap in using it, and those who do that usually don’t learn the silent spell seriously.”
"Yes, laying a good foundation and simple systematic training will help her avoid many detours and quickly achieve combat effectiveness." Albert admitted directly. In fact, he did not intend to teach Katrina too many things, so It's too energy-consuming, so just learn some basics. Once you master it, most wizards will have a hard time being her opponent.
“Your foundation is really different from others.” Isobel looked at Albert and said with a smile, “It seems we have to thank you for your professional guidance.”
"That's right, this is the secret of a dueling champion." Albert joked to himself with a smile, "If I lose my job in the future, I will open a black magic defense training class. I don't know how much I can charge for one class." Where’s Galleons!”
“Katrina, after learning the basics from you, what level will you probably be at?” Isobel asked curiously.
“Probably close to an Auror.”
“Is this what you call third-rate level?”
"Yes, experience cannot be made up for in a short time." Albert explained helplessly, "This is actually enough for Katrina, and ordinary wizards will not be her opponent."
"But why do you still have to let her learn silent spells?" Isobel was actually a little confused. There were not many wizards who could actually use silent spells in battle. She believed that Albert did not expect Katrina to do it. How much better.
"Because in my opinion, whether you can use the silent spell is the difference between third-rate and second-rate." Albert explained calmly, "Katrina actually has a very good foundation, and she can also use the silent spell well, as long as she is willing If you spend more time on it, you will be much better in the duel field than Fred and George who have not mastered the silent spell. Because chanting the spell means that you are slower in casting the spell, and sometimes this is a very fatal thing."
"The magic power of wizards may have an impact on the strength of spells, but most wizards actually don't know that. They are far from reaching their upper limit, but few people can really touch this upper limit. If you are willing, after training, you can Some wizards are qualified to become excellent Aurors, and even do much better than the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, reaching the second-rate standard, which is actually the limit of most ordinary people."
"Do you think it's just a lack of professional and systematic guidance?" Isobel suddenly understood why Albert established the Defense Association.
This is the plan to mass-produce a batch of wizards close to Auror level!
If he is really willing to take the time to teach them, it is estimated that a strong wizard group will really emerge.
Isobel doubted that Albert had already practiced it somewhere, otherwise he would not have such confidence.
She was indeed right. Fred, George and Lee Jordan were the results of Albert's practice. When the three of them left school, their defense against the dark arts level was one level higher than that of Hogwarts graduates. Big cut.
“It is a waste of time to explore on your own, and the results are generally average. By the way, I have great expectations for you.”
“You also think I am a genius?” Isobel was very satisfied with this.
"You are indeed a genius." Albert sighed softly: "Unfortunately, your talent has not been fully utilized. Perhaps because of my relationship, you can only be considered a half-genius now."
"Genius or something, it doesn't matter." Isobel really doesn't care about these things, because there are more important things than these.
She also knows very well that if she wants to fully explore her talents and potential, she must constantly squeeze herself and constantly try to surpass herself. Albert is a ready-made case, but doing so is undoubtedly very hard. That is not Izawa The life Bell wanted.
“No matter what you choose, I will support you, who makes you my wife!” Albert kissed Isobel’s forehead and said.
“Katrina is calling you.” Isobel pushed Albert away and reminded with a smile, “Also, you should be more careful in the future to avoid embarrassing Katrina.”
This is also the reason why Katrina doesn't want to stay at home. To her, she is an outsider and an eyesore. It is best to disappear from their eyes quickly.
“Let’s get on with it!”
Albert picked up the wand, waved it, and used the magic shield to protect Isobel inside before walking towards Katrina.
Continue sparring with Katrina and correct her mistakes.
In the final analysis, if you want to make rapid progress, you still need someone to train and guide you.
Albert is actually also training, training the Iron Armor Curse to reflect the spell.
Of course, in a real duel, this is basically of little use, but he has to find something for himself to do, otherwise it will be too boring.
“Are you planning to form a defense association?” Katrina asked suddenly.
"It seems that you are not concentrating on practicing." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You should focus on it. It is important to focus on studying."
“So, I’m just your attempt?”
"No, my three roommates are. They all have excellent black magic defense levels." Albert said without thinking, "If you want to ask anything, just say it directly."
Katrina’s lips trembled and she asked, “Am I a genius in your eyes?”
"No, there are very few real geniuses. You can only be considered an elite." Albert said calmly. He actually felt that Katrina didn't want to ask about this just now. "Okay, let's go ahead and try it first." Do your silent spell, and then practice the rebound of the iron armor spell."
