Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 73: Lesson 1 (Part 2)

(I don't know what happened in the previous chapter, the system lost my segment, it has been repaired, you can go back and have a look)

"We just talked about Wizard A. He experimented with various abilities, and then found that his fingers were always injured. Why is this."

"Because we cast a spell, we need a tip to output magic power, so where does a tip come from, fingers. I won't talk about other parts here. Interested students can go back and practice strange parts such as toes, nose, etc. Cast a spell."

The students below burst into laughter, and some boys laughed especially wretchedly.

"Well, Jingjing." Lockhart waved his hand to indicate Jingjing, "Why is he injured, because the moment the spell is released from the finger, the fingertips of a person are the first parts in the world that come into contact with the spell , Therefore, the wizards ABCD..., the earliest wizards, could not use damaging magic, and similarly, other magical creatures could not unleash destructive magic at will."

"If you cast a splinter with your finger, then if you use enough magic, your finger will break first; it doesn't matter, if you cast a death spell with your finger, chances are the spell hasn't been cast yet , you're dead."

Lockhart was very satisfied with the seriousness of the students below.

"So, in Muggle stories, witches and wizards don't always come out to kill the Quartet openly, but use some evil witchcraft behind the scenes to harm people. Because of the limitations of the principle of spells, even today, there is no staff. The spell is still limited to some simple and harmless spells, such as healing, levitating, shapeshifting, apparition, etc. Of course, if you are strong enough to force the spell to be released from your fingertips, you can try, Don't look for me when you're dead."

The students laughed again.

"Later Wizard A discovered that he could use some magic-friendly twigs or something to cast spells instead of his fingers, which freed his fingers from the sea of ​​misery. At the same time, he could use greater magic power to test more kinds of spells. That's the origin of the wand."

"Many years later, a certain wizard X, he found that by embedding some strange magic materials in the branches, the magic power output speed of the wizard can be greatly accelerated. This is the prototype of the real magic wand. Humans rely on the magic wand and become the most powerful. One of the most powerful magical creatures, and by relying on the advantage of numbers to defeat all kinds of creatures, standing at the top of the world. You can read "The History of Magical Wars" for these contents, and I won't go into details."

"Yeah, half a class has passed, why do I have to talk so much nonsense, because if you understand the principle of the no-stick mantra and the silent mantra, you won't have it, oh, this is so awesome, I can't learn it. It’s a similar idea.” Lockhart showed his signature smile, “To sum up, the basic principle of silent mantra is to concentrate on casting without distractions. In the early stage of learning, you can try to recite the mantra silently to reduce the difficulty. The principle of no-stick mantra , just use your fingers as a wand!" Lockhart paused and added, "Of course, when practicing wandless spells, you can't use damaging spells, even passing out will make your fingers I feel paralyzed. The wandless spell has a greater impact on the power of the spell. Even Headmaster Dumbledore is not my opponent without a wand. If you can practice this, I will give you extra points."

"Silent casting has almost no effect on the power of the spell. Therefore, this must be practiced by everyone. It is more difficult to have no distractions, so I will not ask for more powerful and complex spells, as long as any spell can be cast silently. , even if qualified."

"In addition, I know that everyone here will be taking the general wizard rank exam this semester, so I hope to give you more time to review the exam. I announce that this semester's Defence Against the Dark Arts exam will be silent. The proficiency of the mantra and the wandless mantra shall prevail. As long as you can cast the silent mantra, I will give you a pass. If you can silently cast the wandless mantra, I will give you full marks. Next, the students will be divided into groups, Practice the Silent Mantra first."

"Papapa——" A burst of applause came from the corner of the classroom. It was Inspector Umbridge. She didn't know when she sat down in the back and listened.

"A wonderful class, Professor Lockhart," came Umbridge's sharp voice. "As expected of a celebrity, even teaching is so charming."

"Thank you, I didn't know the inspector was here—what instructions?" Lockhart responded politely.

"Giggle, I don't dare to follow instructions. I'm just here to observe the teaching methods of famous wizards."

"Then inspectors, please take a look." Lockhart smiled, "Students, you can practice in groups."

"Wait a minute, Professor Lockhart, I think your teaching methods need to be improved—"

"We love this way of teaching!" Harry shouted beside him.

"Speak up, children, don't interrupt!" Umbridge's voice suddenly increased, even Lockhart was startled, and then quickly lowered, "Professor Lockhart, I think the students should be in a safe place. Learning in an environment where group practice is dangerous.”

Lockhart frowned: "But Ms. Inspector, you should know that the mysterious man has returned, and now we need to improve the students' self-protection ability."

"The mysterious man will be dealt with by Mr. Minister, and students should learn knowledge in a safe environment!"

"But there are practical exams in the ordinary wizard level test? Don't we need to do those reverse spells or something?" a girl asked.

"As long as you work hard to learn the theoretical knowledge, you will definitely be able to operate those spells in a carefully monitored examination room," Umbridge said in a few words to answer her question.

"Didn't you practice before?" Parvati asked suspiciously, "You mean, the first time we used magic was when we took the exam?"

"I repeat, as long as you work hard to learn theoretical knowledge—"

"Ms. Umbridge, I don't think you are qualified to interfere with my teaching methods!" Lockhart yelled ~lightnovelpub.net~ Professor Umbridge raised his eyes.

"This is not an interference, this is a suggestion, and I am qualified to make suggestions for improvement," she said softly.

"So the students don't have to contact the spell to deal with the dangers waiting for them outside?"

"There is no danger waiting for the children outside, Professor Lockhart.",

"I don't think so." Lockhart stared into her eyes.

"Who do you think would attack a child like them?" Professor Ambuju said in an unusually sweet voice.

"Voldemort!" Harry yelled.

Ron took a breath, Lavender let out a short scream, and Neville slid down the side of his chair. But Umbridge didn't flinch, she stared at Lockhart.

"Children, don't interrupt!"

"I allow the students to speak in my class, Ms. Umbridge." Lockhart responded **** for tat.

There was silence in the classroom, and everyone was either looking at Lockhart or Umbridge.

"I made a suggestion, Professor Lockhart."

"And I have the right to refuse your proposal!"

Umbridge stared at Lockhart as if to say, how dare you!

"Yes, Professor Lockhart, you have the right to reject my suggestion, today." Umbridge finished speaking, turned and left the classroom.

The students watched her leave, then turned back to look at Lockhart.

"What are you looking at, practice in groups!" Lockhart roared impatiently.

The students began to practice in groups, some secretly looking at Lockhart, looking half scared and half amused.

Lockhart watched the students below enthusiastically practice each other in groups, nodded, and then patrolled, giving guidance from time to time.
