Chapter 122 The Noble Physics Department!
Of course, Kane was among these silent people who felt something was wrong, very wrong.
He was scratching the back of his head, bewildered, muttering to himself, "Could he really be the genius guy?"
After all, whether it was Dumbledore giving him private lessons or someone else giving him private lessons in private, if he really had no talent at all, it would be extremely difficult for him to learn to this level.
Just like that precious Filch, even if Dumbledore were given to him as a tutor for two years, the probability of him successfully releasing the glowing light would be less than one percent.
Although this sounds like a personal attack, it's the truth.
Lockhart, sitting on the dueling platform, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the astonishment of the young wizards and professors. Combined with his previous lackluster performance in upperclassmen classes, he even felt a momentary sense of exhilaration, as if he were playing dumb to outwit his opponent.
After this duel, I think I'll be able to regain my dignity in the upper-level classrooms.
Thinking of this, Lockhart's lips gradually hardened. He was lost in passion and reckless. He flicked his wand upwards slightly, looking extremely arrogant, as if he was about to say, "Come at me all at once!"
However, according to the rules, they were not allowed to go up together. Thus, the entire dueling club seemed to have become a stage for Lockhart to show himself alone. The only difference was that the young wizards couldn't stop cheering and jumping for joy, while the seniors and professors had livid faces.
The former felt that Lockhart was so brave, yet his lessons were so abstract, which was definitely not right. The latter, on the other hand, were all unsure where Lockhart had learned these spells from and who had taught him them.
They all looked at Dumbledore, but Dumbledore just shook his head helplessly. Whether they believed it or not, Lockhart's level in his office was only that of a third-year student.
Soon it was time for the last challenger. Kane, beaming with pride, stepped onto the dueling platform and secretly gave Lockhart a thumbs-up that only he could see.
They're friends, after all. Kane is naturally happy to see Lockhart improve so much despite his poor performance.
As for the duel that's about to begin, I'll definitely hold back again. It's not that Lockhart can't beat me if I don't hold back, but mainly that if I go all out and still can't beat Lockhart, and then I end up using all my skills on the dueling stage because I don't hold back, and still lose miserably, how embarrassing would that be?
It would be better to be like those people before, easily knocked off the dueling stage. The seniors in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades were all subdued in one move. Who could blame them?
If I can't handle Lockhart, then I can handle you?
Soon, after Kane and Lockhart bowed to each other on the dueling platform, Kane looked up again and suddenly noticed that Lockhart had changed. His eyes had become very strange, and the eerie, crooked smile that combined ruthlessness, passion, and suicidal tendencies had disappeared. It was as if he had become a different person. A red spell flew towards him.
Hiss... Thunder Explosion, something's not right, is it? I'd better put on Shadow Armor and then do a backflip to actively escape the duel arena.
Judging from the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lockhart has either taken shelter from the wind and sand, or he's been possessed or haunted. Otherwise, why would he use a Summoning Charm to beat up other junior wizards, but directly use a Explosion Charm on himself? Does he think he's an illegal structure?
While waiting to leave the dueling ring, I was a second too late in complaining to Dumbledore, so I, Heath, had to... rewrite it!
Quickly. The instant the Explosive Charm struck Kane's Shadow Armor, Kane instinctively tried to use the force of the explosion to jump off the dueling platform. However, due to the Shadow Armor's noble 95% damage reduction, well, in the eyes of the other professors and young wizards, Lockhart simply launched a rocket right in Kane's face, nothing more. Oh, not only that, Kane also made a rather bizarre and abstract backward jump, leading some Muggle wizards to believe he was about to perform a backward jump to woo a mate.
Kane gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "Well, my physical education grades aren't very good, huh? Wait for me to jump again." Just as Kane was about to jump back off the dueling platform, a wave rippled up from behind the platform due to Lockhart's Polymorph, violently throwing Kane right in front of Lockhart.
At this moment, Kane finally saw Lockhart's expression clearly. It was nothing like the wise expression of the foolish writer he had seen before. On the contrary, Snape looked kind and amiable compared to this expression.
The case is solved; Lockhart has most likely been possessed.
Without a moment's thought, Kane instinctively gripped his wand and thrust it towards Lockhart, only to have it blocked solidly by a silver-white armor spell.
This gave a sigh of relief to the senior wizards who had been tossed around like rag dolls by Lockhart.
If Professor Lockhart, whom they had so easily defeated, were to have his defenses easily breached by Kane's dagger-shaped wand, then they would truly lose face.
But before they could completely relax, Kane's wand flashed, and Lockhart's armor shattered on the ground.
Those senior wizards who had been ousted from the stage earlier all fell silent.
After all, this is unreasonable, illegal, and unethical.
Lockhart was, after all, a wizard in his thirties, and it was one thing for him to whip us around like tops.
So, this person's Ironclad Spell was shattered by Kane? It's a conspiracy! Definitely a conspiracy!
Just as the scene was about to transform from a wizard duel into an Assassin's Creed moment, Lockhart suddenly pointed his wand at his feet, causing the dueling platform to ripple once more, sending Kane flying far away.
Lockhart, although we don't know who's currently in charge, let's just assume it's Lockhart for now.
In short, Lockhart also meticulously placed a wall of fire on the ground, more to defend against Kane than against assassins, aiming to prevent anyone from getting close, even at the cost of death.
The wall of fire in front of him not only blocked Kane's assassin combo, but also blocked Lockhart's vision on the other side. At this moment, he was studying what spell he should use to kill Kane, a guy who was likely to be detrimental to his plans, right under the noses of Dumbledore and a bunch of professors.
It's like a male or female homosexual playing with a straight male. Before entering the other side, you have to give the impression of joking around, but once you're inside, the other side realizes it's too late.
The spell you choose now must be deceptive.
Dumbledore and a large group of professors believed they were acting with restraint, but by the time the curse actually struck Kane, they belatedly realized it was too late.
As for this incompetent professor's body, of course I'd just use it and throw it away. Why bother with the trouble of possessing someone else's body when I could rely on the resurrection ritual? His talent might not even be as good as mine.
While Lockhart was figuring out how to quietly kill Kane, Kane on the other side of the firewall was also figuring out how to control Lockhart without harming him.
Magic attacks are a bit too extreme, so physical attacks are better at putting enemies to sleep.
The next moment, the Shadow Codex suddenly appeared in his hand...
"Yeah, I should have practiced golf before."
After saying that, the shadow beneath Kane's feet suddenly transformed into a sharp claw, grabbing Lockhart's neck before he could even react, and swiftly pulled him through the flames to stand before Kane.
Kane, meanwhile, was already holding the Shadow Codex in both hands, poised to strike like a golfer, just waiting for Lockhart's head to come crashing down with a bang!
