Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 224 The True Essence of Wizard Sword Art and the Patronus Charm
"teacher!"

"Mike!"

Harry and Arthur who were not far away reacted almost at the same time, and ran towards the two who fell to the ground.

After a careful inspection, Harry was relieved to find that Mike was fine except that his legs were still shaking and his robe was a little dirty. On Arthur's side, he was just about to help his teacher up when he was caught. Vesemir shoved away.

"Get out! I'm not too old to get up!"

Arthur, who was pushed away, stood aside aggrievedly watching his teacher struggling to get up, but the explosive blow just now consumed a lot of physical strength of Vesemir, causing his good leg to still tremble. , can't get up at all.

Vesemir, who tried several times but failed to get up, cursed Arthur in his heart, saying that he didn't need to help him, so he really didn't?Shouldn't you just stick to it when you encounter this kind of situation?
In desperation, Vesemir quietly gave Arthur a wink, but Arthur didn't understand Vesemir's real meaning at all, thinking that the teacher was telling him to get away.

So... I took a few steps back.

Vesemir's dark old face turned red, and he yelled at Arthur, "Bastard! You don't come to help me!"

"Oh……"

Arthur grumbled and didn't refute, he directly stepped forward to help his teacher up in aggrieved manner.

The experience he had cultivated with Vesemir for a long time told him not to talk too much at such a time, otherwise he would definitely be beaten again.

At this time, Mike on the other side finally recovered, and he rushed to Vesemir with a stride, still holding the wooden sword that Vesemir had cut off, and cursed angrily:
"F**k you!********! You mean old man who only knows how to do dirty tricks! You should go to hell! Mom hot fake ****......"

Mike scolded badly, and Arthur's face was already dark, but Mike continued to scold as if he hadn't noticed, without any intention of stopping.

He was swearing to ease his fear. If Vesemir's sword had been slightly higher just now, he would have gone to see Lady Luck. Of course, he might have been reborn in a certain world again.

After all, he was Mike the Lucky Boy.

Faced with his cursing, Vesemir remained indifferent, quietly waited until Mike finished cursing, and then said flatly: "Stupid thing! I have taught you for so long, don't you still know the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship?"

Upon hearing this, Mike, who had calmed down a little, became angry again, and was about to rush forward to give Vesemir a fat beating with his fists raised, but was hugged by Harry and Arthur.

And Vesemir, who suddenly lost Arthur's support, almost staggered and fell to the ground, so his anger welled up, and he gave Mike a head-scratching roar: "I am really not suitable for this kind of covert teaching. Method! You idiot! The true meaning of wizard swordsmanship is to use everything to the extreme, that is, to do whatever is insidious!"

Hearing that both Arthur and Mike were stunned, Arthur looked at his teacher with a puzzled face and said, "No, teacher, you didn't seem to teach me that way at the time, did you? I still remember when you said... ..."

Before Arthur could finish his words, Vesemir's fist came down on his face, hitting Arthur so that he crouched down with his head in his arms, cursing while hitting Vesemir.

"You are also a fool, are you a wizard? Are you not! You can't Apparate! You can't be invisible! You can only chop and chop!..."

While Vesemir was beating Arthur, Mike was lost in thought.

During this period of time, Mike's teacher said that it was Arthur rather than Vesemir. All the daily training and sparring were done by him and Arthur.

Arthur is a man of integrity and kindness but with a strong charisma, just like his name, Arthur, King Arthur!He is like a sun, giving warmth to those around him.His smile is as industrious as the breeze blowing in the fragrance of flowers in spring, making people unable to resist approaching him.

Because of his ability, Arthur has completely become the idol of the witches in the factory, ranging from young girls to mothers-in-law and aunts. Whenever he has a chance, he will dress up and dangle in front of Arthur.As for those who confessed to him directly, Mike alone knew 12 of them!
There are also some married women among them! !

Sometimes after staying in the sun for a long time, he forgets the feeling of shadows covering his whole body. Unknowingly, Mike is also influenced by Arthur, and his thoughts begin to move closer to the direction of a gentleman.

But now that I think about it, I seem to... have never been a decent person, have I?
In a sense, I seem to be the same kind of person as Vesemir!
The same unscrupulous means, the same unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, the same despicableness...

Mike, whose mind finally turned around, looked excited, and he was thinking about new tactics with divergent thinking.

Vesemir's combo just now was pretty good, and the fluorescent flashes of the flash bomb version are also pretty good. Go back and study how to integrate it into actual combat, so happy!
Also, the shadow-shifting teleportation swordsmanship is also good, it seems that I have to learn the shadow-shifting as soon as possible!
The research on the Illusion Curse will continue. When the time comes, I will be invisible against a strong enemy, and then appear in his back and stab him in the back!whee!

……

The more Mike thought about it, the more excited he became, a sinister smile appeared on his face, while Harry looked at Mike with a smirk and Vesemir who was beating up his student, a little at a loss.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Vesemir finally stopped, tired.Mike on the other side finally recovered. Seeing that Vesemir was panting and stopped, Mike immediately went up to meet him. He diligently used the transformation technique to conjure a recliner for Vesemir to lie down on, and then called out Beta, who always followed him invisibly, asked him to get some cold drinks for his teacher.

"Brat, why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden! Do you have some conspiracy?"

"How could it be, teacher! Isn't it right for students to respect their teachers?"

After receiving the chilled juice that Beta handed over, Vesemir groaned comfortably, and then said: "If you have something to say, hurry up, while I'm in a good mood!"

"Hey, I'll just say it!" A gleam flashed in Mike's eyes, "Do you have any other tricks? Teach me!"

The second half of Mike's words were spoken in such a low voice that only Vesemir could hear them.

After hearing this, Vesemir's face was stunned at first, and then changed into a wretched and sinister smile.

"Good boy, now you know the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship!"

"Understood! Isn't the true meaning of wizard swordsmanship just to be dirty? How dirty is it!"

Hearing that Mike also had a wicked smile on his face, the old and young people's wicked smiles complemented each other, Harry couldn't help but rubbed his eyes not far away, he seemed to see an old and a young two The fox is smirking...

……

In the next few days, Mike spent all day in the factory learning the true meaning of swordsmanship from Vesemir. If you don't learn it, you don't know it. After learning it, Mike discovered that Vesemir is actually a big black coin through the ages!
What stealth backstab, teleport sneak attack are basic operations for him!

There is no dirtiest routine for Vesemir, only dirtier ones!

Harry also started his practice under the guidance of Mike. The practice here is not only about magic practice, but also includes physical exercise.

Of course, the purpose of Harry's exercise is not for swordsmanship, but purely for physical fitness.

Harry envied Mike's muscles very much. He thought that if he was as strong as Mike, his fat cousin would stop bullying him.

At the beginning, Mike thought he was just a child’s 3-minute enthusiasm. After a few days of practice, he would give up. After all, exercising is much more difficult than learning spells. Children of Harry’s age can rarely persist down.

But Mike obviously underestimated Harry's resentment towards his cousin, no matter how hard or tired Harry was, he never said he would give up, and he persisted until the end.

On the other hand, Mike is also preparing for the new school year while learning the "truth of swordsmanship".

Mike, who has read the original book, knows very well that because of Black's escape from prison, the Ministry of Magic will cooperate with Hogwarts to send Azkaban's guards: Dementors to guard Hogwarts.

Dementors are evil black magic creatures. They wear a rotten cloak all the year round, and their whole bodies look like they have been soaked in water. They are very ugly.

And their horror is that they feed on the emotion of happiness, but wherever they pass, all the emotions of happiness will be sucked away by them, and you will think of the most terrible things and feel that everything is lost joy of life.

And they also have the big move "Dementor's Kiss", which uses the mouth hidden under the hood to suck away human souls, making the sucked person a living dead.

It is precisely because of their ability that Azkaban where they are stationed has become the most terrifying prison in Europe, because there is no joy in this prison, only despair.

And to deal with them, you need to master a powerful defensive spell; the Patronus Charm!
The incantation of the Patronus Mantra is 'Calling the Guardian', and the key to releasing it is to try to make yourself happy when using it, so as to mobilize your positive emotions.

The Patronus Charm is the most famous spell known to wizards, and one of the most powerful defensive spells.It is an extremely complex and difficult to cast spell that conjures a semi-figurative positive energy, the Patronus.

The biggest function of this positive energy collection called the Patronus is to drive away the dementors and Voldebats, and these creatures have no other defense methods.

The inventor of the Patronus Charm is unknown, but the spell has long been associated with wizards who fight for noble causes, and even those who can summon physical Patronuses are often promoted as Wizengars. High-ranking officials of Morocco and the Ministry of Magic.

There's a reason people do this, because Dark wizards can't use the Patronus Charm.

History has proven countless times that the consequences of using the Patronus Charm by dark wizards are to summon a pile of maggots to devour the caster bit by bit.

This is precisely the key to Mike's headache.

In his original plan, he should learn the Patronus Charm, and then use the opportunity of teaching others the Patronus Charm to recruit his subordinates.

However, he probably wouldn't be able to release the body protection spell at all.

Because he really wasn't sure if he was a dark wizard now.

After all, whether it is behavior or thought, he is black.

There are different reasons why the Patronus Charm can backfire. Mike's guess is that even if he is a dark wizard in name, as long as he upholds the desire to protect others or has other pure and strong positive energy emotions, then he will Can use the Patronus Charm.

Mike's evidence was Snape.

There is no doubt that Snape is a dark wizard through and through in a broad sense. He mastered powerful black magic and killed many innocent people.

But he can cast the Patronus Charm.

To some extent, Mike's conjecture was valid, but he still didn't dare to try it.

He didn't want to make fun of his life!

Fortunately, Mike has a good teacher. When Mike threw this question to Professor Flitwick, Flitwick gave him a reassuring answer:

The backlash of the Patronus Charm on dark wizards is not simply because they are dark wizards, and the Patronus Charm is not a dark wizard discriminator.The reason why those black wizards will suffer backlash is because they have been eroded by the negative emotions inherent in black magic when they have been using black magic like the death curse for many years. It is easy to lose yourself and become a madman controlled by negative emotions.

This is not to say that black wizards have no positive emotions, but that the negative energy in the brains of dark wizards is generally much more than positive energy. The Patronus Charm is essentially an emotional energy amplifier, and there are more positive emotions in your mind. , He releases it as the Patronus Charm, and with a certain amount of positive energy, he can release the physical version of the Patronus Charm.And if there is too much negative energy, it will be backlashed.

After understanding the reason, Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he can finally try to practice the Patronus Charm boldly, he thinks that he is not a lunatic full of evil thoughts.

In a secret room in Mike's villa, Mike stood in the center of the room, and next to him, Shuke and Beta stared at Mike vigilantly, and they would shoot as long as Mike's spellcasting had the intention of counterattacking.

At this time, Mike closed his eyes and was brewing. The trick to release the Patronus Charm is to recall happy things to fill his heart with joy.

Mike has more joyful emotions. The first thing Mike thinks of is the days when he lived with his family.

But then he shook his head, which was not the happiest.

Mike knows himself very well. He is essentially a selfish person. Although his greatest wish as an orphan since he was a child is to have a complete family, this joy is not intense enough.

So, was it the moment when he succeeded in committing a crime and became rich overnight?
Mike dismissed the idea again.

Suddenly, Mike opened his eyes, and there was a light called joy in his eyes.

He thought of an incident that had brought his joy to its peak.

Rebirth!

Of course, what could be more joyful than being brought back to life after death?
Mike hastily closed his eyes, recalling that rainy night when he was reborn, recalling the ecstasy after his rebirth.

Mike put himself into it. Gradually, his breathing became short and his heart beat faster and faster.

At the moment when the emotion reached its peak, Mike opened his eyes again.There seemed to be a burning flame in his eyes, and the next second, Mike swung his wand.

Immediately, white light flourished...
