Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 125 Flitwick's Exhortation
Mike also stared blankly at the stage that had mostly disappeared. He felt his temples beating non-stop, and a burst of excitement surged up from the bottom of his heart.

"Is it so fierce? If this can be turned into a regular spell, wouldn't it be invincible?"

Professor Flitwick seemed to see Mike's inner thoughts, looked at Mike worriedly but didn't say anything.

After the other people around reacted, they started discussing one after another. A few students who admired strength even got excited, discussing the variant usage of the Flame Curse with their surrounding companions excitedly.

The flame spell that Mike just used is definitely the most powerful flame spell that these young wizards have ever seen. It is foreseeable that a wave of research on flame spells will sweep the entire Hogwarts after today.

Cedric was still slumped on the ground and looked at the stage like Mike, his slightly trembling body showed that he was not at peace.

According to this power, if he was still on the stage when the fireball exploded just now, he should have been killed by now, right?

Although he knew that his safety was absolutely guaranteed with Professor Flitwick by his side, Cedric still felt a palpitation in his heart.

The few Hufflepuff students who encouraged Cedric to go up to the stage to fight Mike also reacted at this moment, hurried forward to help Cedric from the ground, and asked if he was injured.

One of them carefully wanted to pat off the dirt on his body, but it was doomed to be futile. At this moment, the originally neat school uniform robe on Cedric had long been burned into a hole-in-the-wall outfit, and those burned out The scorched black marks can't be photographed at all.

Cedric, who was in a trance, couldn't answer their questions accurately at all. In desperation, the few Hufflepuff students could only carry him to the infirmary, and before leaving, they glared at Mike angrily.

Mike stood up from the ground, his eyes still firmly locked on the stage, and he didn't notice Cedric's departure at all.

"Are you okay, do you want to go to the infirmary?"

When Professor Flitwick's voice came, Mike was relieved.

Looking down at his body, Mike replied in a still trembling voice: "No, I'm just a little bit out of strength."

Mike didn't lie. At this moment, Mike looks much better than Cedric in appearance. At least the robe on his body is still intact, and his hairstyle has not turned into an afro.

In the duel just now, Mike was the attacker most of the time, and Cedric's only few attacks were all resolved by him. The only stain on his body was made when he crawled into the pothole after the last fireball.

"Anyway, let's get out of here first." Professor Flitwick looked at the people who were still discussing, and motioned for Mike to leave the auditorium with him.

And Mike didn't refuse, and walked out obediently. Only the battered Lockhart was comforting the excited little wizards in the auditorium, and Flitwick ran away. He alone could not repair the stage that was beyond recognition , the next duel can no longer go on.

With a flash of inspiration, Lockhart thought of a solution, and ordered Hermione and other dueling club staff to move the long table that had been moved elsewhere to the auditorium. After spreading purple sackcloth on the table, Lockhart announced A round of duel takes place on the long table.

Mike followed Professor Flitwick through the Hogwarts castle, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Finally, Professor Flitwick stopped when he came to an empty corner.Mike, who was thinking about turning the fireball just now into a regular spell, almost didn't stop the car and hit him.

"Do you know how dangerous it was just now? You almost died on the stage!" Professor Mike scolded as soon as he stood firm.

Professor Flitwick's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, but Mike could still hear the overwhelming anger in his voice.

"I'm sorry Dean, I will never use that kind of spell in a duel in the future, I just don't want to disappoint you." Mike did not choose to defend himself, and decisively bowed his head to admit his mistake, with a very sincere attitude.

Although Mike knew that under the protection of Professor Flitwick, he and Cedric would never be hurt by the explosion, but it was obviously not the time to say such things.This time it was indeed my fault, I underestimated the power of that fireball.

"Wrong! That's not what I'm talking about! Your fireball flies fast, and it's easy for me to save you!" Professor Flitwick became even angrier when he heard this, "I'm talking about why you take the risk to forcibly increase the power of the fireball, you know? I don’t know that the fireball will explode on the tip of your staff if you don’t manage it just now? Even I can’t save you at such a short distance! Fortunately, I always thought you were a smart child, so you are also an idiot !"

It seemed that he felt that what he said was too serious. Before Mike could reply, Professor Flitwick slowed down his voice and continued: "I'm sorry, I said too much. But what you did before was really too dangerous. You will have to do it in the future. You will become a great wizard, which I can foresee now. There is no need for you to rush, just take it step by step. Promise me, child. Don't do that again."

Flitwick's last soft voice quickly dissolved the grievance that had risen in Mike's heart because of Flitwick's previous words like the warm winter sun, leaving only warmth.

"I promise you, and thank you, Dean."

Thousands of words turned into such a simple thank you, Mike's words made the eyes of the emotional Professor Flitwick red.

"You brat, thank you for nothing." With a light punch on Mike's arm, Professor Flitwick wiped the corner of his eyes and said with a choked voice, "Okay, it's okay to listen to my old man nagging for so long. It's getting late, you just went through such a fierce duel, and you must be tired, go and rest."

Mike bowed to Flitwick to say goodbye, but was stopped by Professor Flitwick again when he was about to leave.

"By the way! This is your first victory in a formal wizard duel. According to the tradition, you have to celebrate it." Professor Flitwick slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Well, tomorrow happens to be Saturday , in order to celebrate your victory over a powerful enemy, how about coming to my office for a big meal tomorrow?"

Mike agreed with a smile, and then walked towards the Ravenclaw lounge under the gaze of Professor Flitwick.

When he came to the dormitory, Mike threw his tired body on the bed. Hearing the creaking sound of the bed board, Mike's heart gradually calmed down, and a serious problem emerged.

How to defeat Cedric?

As Professor Flitwick said, today's victory was largely due to luck, so how should he defeat Cedric who is like a tortoise?
Mike thought hard for a long time but failed to come up with a countermeasure, and finally fell asleep in a daze under the erosion of drowsiness.
