HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 290: Lockhart's Perseverance

   "This time, Mr. Lockhart came to interview for the position of a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but I think, as required, we may need to do some magical ability tests first."

   Dumbledore got up from behind his desk and waved his wand.

   The space in the principal's room suddenly grew a lot, almost the size of a duel stage.

   is obviously to prepare for Lockhart's magic interview.

   "Then, the content of this assessment is a magical contest. Of course, it is not me, but Professor Snape."

   Dumbledore said a joke that wasn't very funny, and only Jon laughed in agreement.

   "Go up, Mr. Lockhart, Professor Snape."

   Today's Dumbledore was too polite. Jon had never seen Dumbledore speak in such an extremely polite and awkward tone, and Snape's face also showed an unexpected look on this.

   is obviously not used to it.

   "In fact, Professor Snape has always wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so Mr. Lockhart, you will face a very powerful opponent."

   After Dumbledore finished speaking, Jon and Lockhart looked at each other. He meant it very clearly that Lockhart asked for more blessings.

   Snape's strength, although Jon is not very clear, but he also knows a thing or two, at least much better than Lockhart.

   can be highly appreciated by Helga, no matter how you think about it, it won’t be bad.

   But relatively speaking, Lockhart is much worse. Although his actual combat ability is pretty good, he is not suitable for this kind of fair and honest duel.

   A person who usually wins by shooting cold arrows or black hands, it is difficult to quickly adapt to one-on-one frontal combat.

If Jon was Lockhart, he would probably choose to give up at this time. He knew very well that Snape would not succeed in becoming a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Dumbledore would not agree that Snape would become a professor. Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

   So no matter how you play, Lockhart will succeed in the end.

   But it is obvious that Jon can't say this now. He stood by Dumbledore's side, and said this, then there is a little meaning to tear down Dumbledore in person.

   He wouldn't be so stupid.

   And after he and Lockhart looked at each other, the latter stepped onto the duel stage.

  The first thing in the Dark Arts Defense class is to teach the students' defense capabilities. Under the attack of the dark arts, they can survive smoothly before they can get a chance to counterattack.

   So, what they have to face is how to resist each other's offense.

   Two wizards stood on the duel stage, one on the left and the other on the right, none of them acted first.

   They were waiting for Dumbledore's order to start.

   And as Dumbledore nodded, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became anxious.

   Snape's magical power is undoubtedly powerful, visible to the naked eye, magics flew out of his wand, and then Lockhart barely resisted it.

   Although Jon's strength has not yet reached the level where he can arbitrarily intervene in such a battle, his eyesight is already sufficient to judge such a battle.

   From the beginning, Snape was unilaterally crushing Lockhart.

   Jon glanced at Dumbledore who was standing next to him, the principal who temporarily became the referee, the old **** was watching the matchup in the court, silently not speaking.

   But even if he didn't speak, Jon could tell, his eyes revealed his appreciation for Lockhart.

   What is there to appreciate?

   Shouldn’t it be to appreciate Snape’s powerful combat capabilities?

  The battle on the field soon ended. After Snape used a Shadowless Curse to pierce Lockhart's collar, the battle was over.

   Dumbledore swung his magic wand and put the dueling table away, and the principal's room was restored to its previous size.

   "Very exciting battle."

   He nodded at Snape, then looked at Lockhart.

   "But if you want to become a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, I think, Mr. Lockhart, you should be a little weaker."

"what?"

   Lockhart said in a puzzled manner, but Snape, who was standing next to him and coming down with him, had no expression on his face, as if he had already known the result.

"I think the headmaster has made it very clear," the Slytherin dean explained to Dumbledore. "You need to behave a little bit weaker, preferably at the level of knowing nothing. ."

   This is really an unacceptable request.

   Jon had actually guessed what Dumbledore meant, but these words can only be said by two people when there are no outsiders, and they must not be said now.

   "I mean you understand it," Dumbledore blinked and looked at Lockhart. "If you don't understand, I think you can think about it here."

   "Then can I leave now?"

   Snape looked at Dumbledore and tucked his wand into his robe.

   Anyway, he is also a tool man. The tool man needs to use it for a long time, so he can't use everything.

  Furthermore—Snape pointed to Jon—isn’t there another ready-made tool man?

   "Also."

  After Snape and himself frowned, Dumbledore nodded: "You can leave first. If there is anything, we are going to talk about it in detail~lightnovelpub.net~ I hope not.

   Snape gave Lockhart a cold look, then turned his head out of the principal's office.

   "Then Mr. Lockhart, we can talk about the position now."

   Lockhart was confused by Dumbledore. If he was able to be a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class if he acted like this, then what was the purpose of the tests just now?

   "Maybe I want you to find feelings."

   Jon's voice sounded quietly in Lockhart's ear: "Didn't Dumbledore just say it? You need to be a little weaker."

   "But what good is this? As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I need to teach the students of the whole school. My performance is a little bit worse. That is not a good thing for the students of the whole school."

   "Oh, of course not."

   Dumbledore shook his head.

   "Jon highly recommended you to me, saying that you are very suitable for this candidate, I think you can meet this requirement."

"This... of course it can be done," Lockhart said tentatively: "I just show my own difference. I don't care about my reputation. Even I am here for this purpose, but I don't I don’t think it’s a good thing to delay the study of all students."
