"Snape!" Professor Lupin shouted.
After all, using the Fiendfyre Curse in the duelling ring was a bit too much.
Especially since Snape is still a professor!
Professor Flitwick also looked serious. He held his wand and kept a close eye on the two people in the ring, ready to intervene at any ti.
But he didn't say a word to stop them.
It can be seen that these two really want to fight!
Snape paid no attention to Professor Lupin at all, carefully controlling the Fiendfyre. He couldn't let the Fiendfyre get out of control, and he couldn't let it hurt Andy.
The situation changed again!
After devouring the Fire Eagle, the Fiendfyre quickly gathered into a large fla snake. The snake devoured the wall and hovered between Andy and Snape.
Snape remained very attentive.
The flaming snake didn't attack but looked down at Andy nacingly, as if to say, 'I'm watching you.'
If it had been a real life-and-death battle, the flaming snake would have attacked Andy directly. What's more, now Snape would control the flas so cautiously for fear of losing control of them.
For this reason, Andy didn't attack Snape.
Instead, he planned to solve Snape's Fiendfyre curse first.
The Fiendfyre curse... Coincidentally, Andy is also very proficient in this spell.
From the perspective of magic restraint, the General Counter-Spell can counter any spell, including the Fiendfyre curse. Even if the Fiendfyre curse gets out of control, the General Counter-Spell can still bring it under control.
However, the General Counter-Spell is not a counter-curse for the Fiendfyre curse.
If Andy uses the General Counter-Spell, it will beco a competition of magical power. Whoever has the denser magical power will ultimately win.
If there is only one person, using the General Counter-Spell is actually not a good choice.
Once Snape completely lets go of his control over the Fiendfyre curse, he can attack.
Fortunately, Andy is not alone!
At this mont, Andy thought of many tactics but ultimately decided to fight Snape head-on.
"Finite Incantatem!"
Andy raised his wand high, and the surging magic power instantly suppressed the violent flas.
The Fat Cat Patronus also once again charged towards Snape.
Seeing this, Snape had no choice but to give up his control over the Fiendfyre curse and instead focus on dealing with the Fat Cat Patronus.
Without the support of magic, the Fiendfyre curse was quickly suppressed by the General Counter-Spell. The giant flaming snake, which had originally been several ters long, vanished in an instant.
Andy raised an eyebrow.
Next, it was going to be two against one!
In fact, Andy had lost interest in the duel at this mont.
Practice duels, no matter how serious they might seem, would always remain just that: practice.
Many dangerous spells could not be used.
Fighting without a sense of crisis would not help Andy now.
On the contrary, Snape's tactics gave Andy a sense of inspiration.
Use physical defence to counter magic.
Transfiguration!
Transfiguration, if used well, could be extrely effective in battle.
Attack, defence, harassnt, control... At this mont, Andy was bursting with inspiration. Various uses of transfiguration flashed through his mind, and he beca overwheld with emotion.
But... I still need to practice more.
If he wants to use Transfiguration in battle, he must be able to transform objects in an instant.
In a battle where every second counts, even a second's delay could cost him his life.
'Thinking...'
Andy felt a little dejected.
There aren't enough Potential Points!
Andy thought of many things at once and didn't attack imdiately.
"Professor, how about we call this one a draw?" Andy decided to give Snape so dignity.
As he spoke, the Fat Cat Patronus also stopped advancing.
In any case, Andy had learnt sothing in this battle—using Transfiguration on clothes was really clever.
Snape had a dark face, feeling that he had been underestimated.
"If we only use white magic, it wouldn't be fair to you."
Andy chuckled lightly and said, "And I learnt a lot in this duel. Transfiguration... is a very useful magic."
After saying this, Andy winked and walked off the stage first.
Snape, apart from being love-struck, is also a bit arrogant, and he would never show weakness on his own initiative.
"Well done, Mr. Collins!"
As soon as he stepped off the stage, Professor Flitwick ca over and said excitedly, "To be honest, I've never seen such an outstanding young wizard in my life."
"You will definitely beco a great wizard."
Andy laughed lightly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Professor Flitwick."
Professor Flitwick nodded and continued, "However, I don't approve of using the General Counter-Spell to counter the Fiendfyre Curse in combat. If Severus had let go of his control over the Fiendfyre right away, he could have taken the opportunity to attack you."
"Of course! I know…"
Andy thought for a mont and explained, "In that situation, I could have actually used the Fiendfyre Curse to counterattack... but then the situation would have completely spiralled out of control."
"And my Patronus was also there to protect ."
The Fiendfyre Curse is very powerful!
No other spell can counter it.
Even if you use the General Counter-Spell, you have to maintain the spell to effectively counter it.
But the Fiendfyre Curse...you don't have to actively maintain it.
"I'm glad you understand." Professor Flitwick didn't say anything more after hearing this, and he didn't say how to counter it either.
In that situation, the best thing to do was to dodge.
Because an uncontrollable Fiendfyre is a threat to both sides.
This also shows how powerful Grindelwald's Improved Fiendfyre Curse really is - a Fiendfyre that can distinguish between friend and foe.
If you block the Fiendfyre, I will use another spell to destroy you.
Of course, now this Improved Fiendfyre Curse also belongs to Andy!
"Andy!"
Hermione ca over at this mont and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine," Andy smiled from his heart.
"Professor!" Hermione greeted him.
"Ahem!"
Professor Flitwick coughed lightly and said with a wink, "I'll leave you two young people alone."
After saying this, Professor Flitwick tactfully left.
Andy looked at Hermione and revealed a wry expression.
***
With the duel demonstration wrapping up, Professor Lupin began the official class.
The quality of Hogwarts young wizards was not high.
For more than 80% of the young wizards, even just using the Shield Charm and Disarming Charm in battle is a major challenge.
This is no exaggeration!
After all, the wizarding world has been at peace for many years, and for many young wizards, the concept of battle is simply not in their minds.
They study magic for a living and a job.
Unless they are interested in duelling or want to beco Aurors and Hit Wizards after graduation, few people will bother to practice combat magic.
Because they really don't need it!
Given this situation, Professor Lupin can only start teaching from the very basics.
