Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts

Chapter 214: “Traps Had Been Laid”

Chapter 214: “Traps Had Been Laid”

Garfield had the upper hand but never let go of his vigilance. When Sean stood still and raised his wand, he immediately predicted what Sean was going to do.

“His casting speed and casting accuracy are obviously not as good as mine. Shouldn’t he move around and find other opportunities? In this position, I am confident I can hit him first when his spell is cast.”

“He wants to cast another powerful spell? That’s not true. The time for him to cast a powerful spell is enough for me to trap him with another spell, and I’ll use a disarming or petrification spell to knock him out completely.”

“So, what is he doing? A desperate action or some weird magic?”

“But my Disarming Charm can’t be cast silently, and the casting speed is not as fast as the previous one. Should I restrict his actions first and do something about it later?”

Various thoughts flashed through Garfield’s mind, but he didn’t hesitate. He kept on continuing casting his binding spells toward Sean.

The white light hit Sean, and immediately, his limbs became stiff, as if they were chained with iron with several hundred kilograms of weight.

Sean’s eyes lit up. What he was most worried about was that Garfield could cast the nonverbal version of Disarming Charm or Full Body Bind Curse at the same speed, so he would have little room to counterattack.

He chose to take the hit just to activate the trap he left before. A red light spewed from the tip of his wand.

Garfield saw this and immediately judged the type of the opponent’s spell.

“It is red, fast, and has an unbelievably short casting time. It is most likely to be a spark spell for the fake spell he tried to use before. But why? Is it to block the line of sight or disturb my rhythm?

Garfield didn’t dare to be careless. This kind of spell was cast extremely fast. Although it wasn’t powerful enough, he was still worried that there would be something with it.

“Protego!” He cast a defensive spell.

An unexpected situation happened. The target of Sean’s red light was not Garfield at all. The red light slid past, and the transparent barrier in front of Garfield was not affected in any way. The spell hit the ground beneath his feet.

“Judging from the previous duel, it is impossible for him to cast the spell so weird.”

Garfield subconsciously lowered his head and then saw the fragmented stones on the floor that had been scattered for a long time. Those rocks that everyone thought Sean was kicking for fun rapidly expand and turn red.

Garfield had a glimmer of insight.

“Wallup, you bastard…”

A huge explosion sounded, the flames and smoke engulfed Garfield, and black smoke enveloped the entire dueling stage. When the smoke cleared, Garfield was already lying on the floor like Stevenson.

At this moment, the room fell into complete silence. The students looked at Sean, who was firmly standing on the stage. Although he couldn’t move, he still stood and was the winner.

“Yeah!” Cheers and whistles erupted from Hogwarts students.

Sean heaved a sigh of relief. The fifth-grade students were much stronger than he imagined.

As for the stone, the spell has a pre-spell called timed blast. He can store the magic power on some inanimate object in advance and use a magic spell to detonate it at a specific time.

It seems to be a good spell, but this spell is extremely restrictive. First, objects with magical power will have obvious fluctuations in magic power, which can be easily detected. Secondly, this spell cannot store a large amount of ‘explosions’, and the magic power attached to the object can only last for about half an hour to an hour, depending on the wizard’s strength. Finally, the casting range of this thing is close. If it is farther away, the spell cannot be detonated.

Therefore, people would only use this spell for mining and alike because it was not a good combat spell. With it, Sean made a little plan.

In the first duel, during his duel with Ramos, Sean used the clouds of dust to block his vision and took the opportunity to create a bunch of ‘bombs’. This is thanks to Professor Goodman’s demonstration about preparing something before the duel.

On the contrary, Sean also used a lot of magic spells. In this way, the entire room is full of traces of magic power, and the magic fluctuations on the stones are perfectly covered up. Even the professor didn’t notice.

Next was the provocative stone-kicking action, and the ‘bombs’ were gathered together. Sean also played a little psychology trick that Grindelwald taught him.

The previous ancient magic spell protected the ground within the circle where Stevenson stood. Whether it was their subconscious self-preservation instinct, they felt safer there.

As Sean expected, the next person to duel with him will most likely stand there. Sure enough, Garfield’s movements were still within that area. After getting a good feel of his strength, Sean had to admit that he couldn’t beat the opponent in a fair duel with his current level.

He can only win by employing some tactics.

The medical team rushed in again. The spells were powerful, and Sean piled up another pile of rocks. Even though Garfield cast the Protego Charm, he was still knocked out by the explosion. His condition was worse than Percy’s encounter with the Ashwinder.

For the first time, Goodman looked at Sean speechlessly. Under his supervision, two students were still seriously injured, which could almost be regarded as a serious teaching accident.

After all, he had told the students to use all their strength early in the duel.

The Nurmengard student’s face turned sour. Most of them immediately understood Sean’s strategy of defeating their colleagues.

“He’s tricky. He has planned it from the beginning!”

“Is he always like this? He has already thought about these things. Just to wait for the senior students to take the revenge on him.” The anger in their eyes was almost overflowing.

A student in the lower grade said, “It’s really a…”

“Shut your mouth, all of you.” A voice sounded.

The junior student turned his head and saw a chubby blond boy wearing a fourth-grade uniform. His eyes were almost squeezed into a slit by the fat on his face, and his huge belly was shaking happily.

“Hugo?” the junior student yelled in fear.

“We’re not as good as his? Look at how well other students’ explosive spells are used! As a student of Nurmengard, you can be angry, and of course, you are free to do that. But don’t forget Professor Grindelwald’s teaching. Never make excuses for your own weakness and never make excuses for your enemy’s strength.”

He smiled, “You are also in the second grade, right? Wallup is not as good as others. Why don’t you go up to take the challenge to duel him? Look at him. He must be very tired now.”

On the stage, Sean was still standing upright, but the sharp-eyed students had already noticed that his hands behind his back were trembling slightly, which was a sign of exhaustion of magic power.

“What do you think, Mr. Wallup?” Goodman said to him.

Sean’s posture and expression remained unchanged at all. However, he no longer smiled.

No one in the audience saw his lips squirming, “I’m good but for the sake of learning experiences for all of us. I’m not backing down from the challenge.”

If eyes could kill, then the angry eyes of the Nurmengard students would have burned Sean to a heap of ashes long ago. Sean has the guts to say this, even though he was already looking very exhausted.

His complexion remained the same, but his hands trembled more and more. Of course, two people who are extremely familiar with Sean don’t think so.

“Hermione, Hermione,” Daisy murmured softly, “Is Sean going to play some tricks again?”

“He must be lying…” Hermione’s expression did not change, “According to his character, if he really couldn’t hold it anymore, he would definitely back down. But I don’t know what he meant by it in this situation.”

Hermione seemed to want to say words to say that he was too stupid and naïve to do so. But in the end, she forgets it and starts to trust him.

“Did Sean intend to beat all of those Nurmengard students today? But he doesn’t seem to be able to do all of that alone.” Daisy looked at him.

Hermione shook her head, “He does have ideas in this matter, whether it’s to avenge Fred George and the others or to build a reputation for Hogwarts. But if he has another intent, then I don’t know what it is.”

If Sean could hear the conversation between the two girls, he would definitely say that they were on the wrong page. He was just showing his dominance, and there will always be someone among the Nurmengard students who worship power.

Besides, Grindelwald should be watching right now. He might have the chance to show off what he can do to the fullest extent.
