Chapter 129: Morning Training with Professor Flitwick II

Time quickly arrived in November.

There was nothing special worth mentioning during this period; everything proceeded as usual.

Early morning.

On a clearing beside the Forbidden Forest, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped the area.

Outside the barrier, one could only see occasional sparks of fire rising from within, hearing no sound.

Inside the barrier, it was as lively as a battle.

Scattered stones covered the ground, and countless Stone Wolves surged toward Professor Flitwick at the center like a locust swarm.

Yet none of those Stone Wolves could get close to Professor Flitwick's person.

"Thunderclap Explosion!"

Boom—!!

Firelight burst, a series of explosions followed, instantly blasting the wolf pack to pieces.

But the next moment, Fuliwei felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly tremble.

Whoosh!

Numerous earth spikes shot out violently, thrusting straight at Professor Flitwick.

"Armor Protection!"

Only to see the earth spikes striking repeatedly against the Iron Armor Spell, a huge impact coming from all directions, yet unable to move Professor Flitwick in the slightest.

However, Professor Flitwick was likewise restrained by those dense earth spikes.

"Professor, you've fallen into my trap!"

John's voice came from afar.

Yes, far away.

He was hiding in a distant place.

But the countless Stone Spears he conjured had already taken shape.

"Ten Thousand Arrows Volley!"

John waved his wand.

Swish swish swish!

In an instant, countless Stone Spears poured down like a rainstorm.

Bang bang bang!

Instantly dust rose, the sound of Stone Spears striking the Iron Armor Spell continued nonstop.

When John's attack ended, there was no trace of Professor Flitwick; countless Stone Spears buried him, leaving only a small mound in place.

Looking impressive, but John knew this strike would certainly not defeat Professor Flitwick; it was his tactic to buy time and trap the professor.

Now it's my turn!

Only to see John wave his wand again, and countless rubble within the field flew up.

Then they gathered together.

Constantly compressed, merged, condensed.

Finally transformed, a ten-meter-tall Stone Giant with six fists crashed to the ground.

As the Stone Giant just formed, the small mound trapping Flitwick emitted several explosions.

Boom!

Rubble exploded, Professor Flitwick appeared unharmed, but just as he showed his head, the Stone Giant's fist had already smashed down.

Another boom.

Under the giant fist, the earth cracked, and Professor Flitwick's form was once again buried by a punch.

The next moment, several other huge fists began to repeatedly hammer the spot where Professor Flitwick was.

The ground continually collapsed under the heavy blows, dust waves rolled, and fissures spread like a spiderweb.

Under the protection of the Iron Armor Spell, Professor Flitwick remained unscathed, wielding his wand while bearing the Stone Giant's fists.

"Four Parts Five Splits!"

Crack.

That Stone Giant's arm merely showed a crack.

Obviously, an ordinary Splitting Spell could not inflict lethal damage on this Stone Giant.

Professor Flitwick immediately understood that this was a specially strengthened Stone Giant; to shatter it he must pour in more magical power.

Crack.

Another crisp sound.

But this time, it was his Iron Armor Spell that was about to give way.

Professor Flitwick hesitated no longer, waving his wand again.

"Four Parts Five Splits!!"

A few scraping sounds.

This time, the Stone Giant's six arms were cleanly severed by a powerful Cutting Spell, crashing down, leaving only a bulky torso.

But just after dealing with the Stone Giant, Professor Flitwick hadn't even caught his breath.

Again he saw countless Stone Swords floating above him.

Fuliwei slapped his forehead as if seeing a ghost.

Again this move?

"Multitudinous Obstacles!"

To avoid being buried again, Professor Flitwick this time chose to use the Barrier Curse to block.

Four stone walls rose in a square shape.

Bang bang bang!

Countless Stone Swords kept falling, but were all blocked by that Stone Wall.

Professor Flitwick also prepared to launch a counterattack, but suddenly a shadow shrouded the sky.

Looking up, he saw a Giant Rock falling like a meteor toward him.

Rumble.

The Giant Rock fell, and the Stone Sword assault continued to pour down.

Dust and debris intertwined into a sheet, and Professor Flitwick's figure was completely submerged.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Professor Flitwick's position became a small mound once again.

Several more explosions sounded.

When Professor Flitwick finally managed to come out again, he saw that Stone Giant once more, and now there were two of them!

"Stop stop stop! I don't want to fight anymore!"

Before the Stone Giant's fist could fall, Professor Flitwick quickly raised his hand and shouted.

John also stopped his attack in time.

"You brat, never ending—I haven't seen you lift a finger all this time, letting these Stone Lumps do the work, and you still hide far away."

Professor Flitwick looked at John, speechless.

Hehe, Professor, this is my tactic.

John laughed as he waved his wand, and the two Stone Persons instantly turned into rubble and fell.

He put away his wand, blinked, and said, "Besides, you're completely unharmed, aren't you?"

Professor Flitwick glared at him. "Completely unharmed?"

If we keep fighting, who knows—his old bones might be taken apart.

Afterwards he also felt speechless, looking at the mess all around, and sighed.

Since John learned those weird Transfiguration spells, fighting him feels like one person taking on an army.

Before, even if his magic produced all sorts of strange things, it couldn't cause him too much trouble.

But as his Transfiguration kept improving, his magic power kept rising.

Once he inadvertently got into his rhythm, using this shameless tactic, I really couldn't handle him for a while.

Those Stone Lumps couldn't be controlled by the Stasis Spell, nor countered by the Floating Spell, nor eliminated by Transfiguration.

All we could do was endure it head-on or fight it outright.

Especially those Stone Persons—if a Little Wizard were substituted, they probably couldn't break through the defense even after half a day.

But this also shows that John's casting speed and Magic Spell proficiency have reached a quite high level.

Otherwise, he couldn't have completed multiple or large-scale Transfiguration spells in such a short time to steer the battle's course.

Even without this tactic, in a direct confrontation his strength would be enough to crush all Hogwarts students.

Although he felt a bit resentful from being hit, Professor Flitwick was still relieved in his heart.

After a year of growth, John has developed his own fighting style and can even trade blows with me.

I believe that in the upcoming Triwizard Tournament, he will surely handle all challenges with Composure.

Afterwards they together restored the area to its original state and removed the Isolation Spell that had been covering them.

Because the commotion from practicing with John now is too great, they must use the Isolation Spell to cover the entire field, lest the noise disturb the students still resting.
