Chapter 386: Bat Monster

Early Sunday morning, Harry went to the library as usual, spread out his stall, and prepared to do his homework. Only then did he realize that after entering the sixth year, the homework in his hands had actually decreased—perhaps it was also because Su Ge Mi didn't assign homework, and Slughorn allowed members of the Slug Club to only do a portion of the advanced content. In short, when he finished the Transfiguration essay, he found there was only one essay left to write.

Then, how should the beautiful afternoon time be spent? Harry couldn't help but think. Then, he suddenly thought of a wonderful thing he hadn't done for a long time: visiting Hagrid.

When Harry and Luo En walked to the side of Hagrid's hut, a thick dark cloud happened to block the sun, and the temperature suddenly became pleasant. He felt this was a quite good omen.

"Ha!" Before they knocked on the door, they saw Hagrid turn around from behind the hut. He was wearing a large printed apron and carrying a bag of potatoes. His large hunting dog, Fang, was at his feet. As soon as he saw Harry, Fang rushed toward him excitedly.

"Do you want to come in for some afternoon tea?" Hagrid said enthusiastically.

"Of course, that's what we came for," Harry walked into his hut with a smile, and then he noticed that Hagrid's hut seemed to be tidier.

"Snape let me be responsible for the lower-grade Magical Creatures class, what a pity, otherwise I would have been able to see you in class again," Hagrid said with some regret. "However, he is not bad as a headmaster, right? I knew Deng Buliduo wouldn't trust someone for no reason."

"Ah yes," Harry just thought there was another Magical Creatures class, and he didn't choose it at all. "We all feel that Professor Grills doesn't teach as well as you, so we didn't choose it."

"Yes, without Hagrid's Magical Creatures class, I don't want to take it at all," Luo En followed up immediately.

"Hahaha," Hagrid laughed and brewed tea in his huge copper teapot. "Originally I could also open an advanced class, Professor Grills and I agreed, we can teach different directions."

"But it's a pity, I still have other things to do," Hagrid said while pouring tea, and brought over a plate of rock cakes. "What's worse is that Aragog is about to die."

Luo En desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth, while Harry said with some comfort: "Is there anything we can do?"

"Sigh, there's nothing to do. The lifespan of a spider is just that much. He has lived for quite a long time," Hagrid said with some melancholy. "It started this summer, he was sick and didn't get better, then I felt something was wrong."

"What a pity, fortunately you can spend more time with him while you still have time," Harry said sincerely, although he didn't like that big spider either, he felt that letting Hagrid accompany it would be very good, good for both of them.

"Fortunately, I have accompanied him for quite a long time," Hagrid wiped his nose hard on his apron. "When this moment really came, I felt I could accept it instead."

This topic was really a bit sad, and the three of them deliberately avoided it, so they chatted about Professor Grills' teaching philosophy. Harry and Luo En belittled him to nothing in front of Hagrid, saying that he was a complete animal abuser, and also said that Grills didn't understand magical creatures at all, so he could only rely on some Auror tricks to fill his boring class, which made Hagrid rub his face uncontrollably.

"Eh, it's a pity I really have other things to do!" Hagrid finally patted the table. "Otherwise, it would be better for me to teach you!"

They sat in Hagrid's hut for about two hours. When the dusk of evening came, they naturally ended this pleasant afternoon tea. Harry and Luo En waved goodbye to Hagrid and prepared to go to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Fortunately Hagrid has private matters," Luo En muttered. "I don't want to take another class."

"Yes, if Hagrid opened a class and we didn't go, it would be awkward," Harry echoed, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, just taking care of an Aragog, was it worth occupying so much of Hagrid's time?

"Watch out!" Luo En suddenly exclaimed.

Only then did Harry notice that not far from them, a strange person was standing quietly: he was wearing a pair of bright yellow, bat-like huge masks, and the lower end of the mask was also made into the style of fangs, looking very terrifying.

"Is it another Smasher?" Luo En took out his driver, then he stopped. "He also has a belt, is this a Knight?"

The bat monster didn't say a word, just looked here twice.

A second later, he opened his stance and rushed toward here. Luo En hurriedly inserted his energy bottle to transform in a panic, while Harry threw two Impediment Jinxes to buy him time.

The monster easily broke through the Impediment Jinxes. Fortunately, Luo En completed the dressing in time and fought with the opponent with a long sword.

Harry took a few steps back. He watched the bat monster conjure a blue big knife from nowhere and easily suppressed Luo En. A long-lost sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. Harry really hoped that he had already researched spells that could deal with Kamen Riders at this time.

However, another thought flooded into his heart: why couldn't he become a Knight himself? Asking Zhang Qiu for another belt shouldn't be a difficult thing, right? Since these outsiders who didn't know where they came from could have a belt, why couldn't he...

"Who is it?" a huge voice sounded not far away. "Ping-pong-pong, what are you stirring up?"

Hearing Hagrid's voice, Luo En's movements paused suddenly, and then he was severely slashed on the shoulder by the bat monster, and the blade brought out a string of sparks on the shoulder armor.

The monster looked here twice again, then he suddenly threw out a handful of blood-red smoke and disappeared immediately.

Hagrid walked over with a lantern, asking in a rough voice: "What's going on?"

"We were attacked again," Harry said concisely. "Luo En was also injured."

"What?" Hagrid stepped forward to check. At this time, Luo En had already released the transformation. He was holding his left shoulder, his expression very painful.

"I'll take you to find Madam Pomfrey," Hagrid picked up Luo En immediately. Harry carried the lantern for him, and the three walked toward the castle.

"What's going on?" Hagrid asked while walking. "Who attacked you?"

"Good question," Harry pursed his lips. "He was wearing a mask, I couldn't recognize who it was at all."

Generally speaking, if the attacker wore a mask, Harry would definitely suspect whether it was someone he knew, afraid of being recognized. But in the current situation, after putting on the Knight armor, it naturally covered a person's face, which made Harry a bit helpless.

After settling Luo En in the hospital wing, Harry walked downstairs in a hurry, preparing to pack some dinner for him. In the Great Hall, he met Zhang Qiu, so the two walked toward the roof together.

"We were attacked," Harry said. "A bat monster, I could see his belt, he should also be a Knight, but I don't know who he is."

"No way?" Zhang Qiu said very surprised. "I do know a Knight who turned into a bat, but logically he shouldn't appear!"

"What do you know?" Harry asked immediately.

"No, no, no, this has no meaning at all. The Junior Master only developed the Build system, but Night Rogue uses a steam gun, and the steam gun is not my Junior Master's technology either!" Zhang Qiu seemed to be shocked by this news, saying many terms Harry hadn't heard before in one breath.

"Steam, he did release smoke when he ran away," Harry said tentatively. "Is it possible that it's that, uh, Night Rogue?"

"Unless someone else made a steam gun by mistake when imitating the Knight System?" Zhang Qiu grabbed her hair. "It's not impossible. After all, there are only so many approximate solutions to a problem..."

Their conversation stopped at the door of Luo En's ward. The two tacitly stopped analyzing the attacker's identity and turned to appease Luo En's emotions first.

"It's terrible, fortunately the Knight armor is hard enough," Luo En said with lingering fear. "I almost thought he was going to split me in half."

"The battle between Knights looks very dangerous, but it's not that scary," Zhang Qiu comforted. "The worst case is that the Knight armor is scattered and the transformation is released. As long as you are in the transformation state, there will be no real life danger."

"In that case, I should also learn the means of releasing smoke like that bat monster," Luo En said with some dissatisfaction. "That way, even if I lose the fight, I can still save my life?"

"Battle is inherently dangerous," Harry sighed. "We should still be careful in the future. If it doesn't work, ask for help. Losing face is better than losing life."

"Ask for help? From whom?" Luo En frowned.

"Draco, of course. Judging from various performances, he should also have the ability to transform into a Kamen Rider," Harry said deliberately.

"So annoying," Luo En said.

"However, if it's really impossible to resist, we can only do so," Zhang Qiu said bitterly. "The enemy we are facing now is very likely an adult from the US or the Soviet Union, and it is even possible that he is a special forces soldier who is proficient in combat. This is really too difficult for Luo En."

No, Harry frowned. Can't you think of getting me a belt too? Zhang Qiu couldn't think of it, and Luo En couldn't think of it either. He simply doubted whether the two good friends in front of him regarded himself as a friend.

"Fortunately, this is just an ordinary, not very heavy injury," Luo En opened his mouth again. "Madam Pomfrey said it will be fine in one night. I think if it really doesn't work, I really have to talk to Draco tomorrow."

"Yes, I just thought that you can use the Fire Phoenix," Zhang Qiu suggested. "For one, you can notify the other party, and for another, if other members of Deng Buliduo's Army arrive, it will at least be of some help."

Harry felt he could no longer stand it. Keeping his mouth shut in front of his two best friends was agonizing, and finally, he couldn't help but say, "Um, Zhang Qiu, could you get me a belt too?"
