Chapter 594 Zhou Ming wins, Hermione lies

Cynthia had a solid foundation, which was the first point Zhou Ming confirmed. Every movement she made was very standard, and she chanted the spell very quickly while deliberately lowering her voice. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear what she was saying.

This can be considered as silent casting in another sense. As long as the opponent can't hear it, it is no different from real silent casting.

Cynthia did not use any spells that were beyond her scope; she clearly had something in reserve.

What? How did Zhou Ming know that she would cast Chao Gang's spell?
Because Zhou Ming can do it too.

Don't forget, they have been together throughout the holiday, and they are learning the same spells. Their progress may be different, but Cynthia shouldn't be much worse than him.

I haven't had the chance to take a closer look at Cynthia's level before, so today is a good opportunity.

As for whether doing so would expose one's strength in advance, haha, does Zhou Ming still care about this?

If he was outside the school now, he might care for a moment, but he was in the school, and as long as Dumbledore did not fall, he would be absolutely safe.

The students around were dumbfounded at this moment. They had never imagined that a female classmate who looked like a porcelain doll could be so fierce.

Spells were fired out like raindrops, with almost no intervals between them.

The opponent was even more outrageous, not even letting go of the spells. He just kept waving his wand back and forth, knocking away all the spells shot at him.

"Whirlwind rolling!"

As another disarming spell was cast, Cynthia did not retract her wand, but shook her wrist, throwing out a small ball of wind.

This wind ball is invisible to the naked eye and quietly follows the disarming spell.

Zhou Ming casually pressed down the hand holding the wand, directing the disarming spell directly to the ground, and then lifted it up.

"Whirlwind rolling!"

The same spell was released by him, and two wind groups met in the air, with the same size, the same speed, but completely different rotation directions. The two exploded the moment they touched, turning into a fierce airflow that rushed towards the surroundings.

The students around him subconsciously covered their eyes because of the wind. The wizard robe on Zhou Ming was rustling in the wind. In the strong wind, he suddenly took a step forward and thrust his magic wand forward like a sword.

"Lightning Pierce!"

A blue electric current flew out from his wand and shot towards Cynthia like a sharp sword.

Snape's face changed and he subconsciously prepared to attack, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

In the field, lightning crossed several meters in an instant and came in front of Cynthia.

Cynthia drew a small circle in front of her with her wand.

"Many obstacles!"

Suddenly, layers of transparent magic shields appeared in the air. Lightning hit the shields, and the shields dissipated layer by layer, and the lightning also quickly weakened.

When the last layer of shield was broken, the lightning had just exhausted all its power and dissipated at the same time.

But Zhou Ming's attack did not stop. He waved his wand casually, and the curtains around him flew up. Under his control, they turned into a group of flying birds, flapping their wings and swooping towards Cynthia.

Cynthia immediately created a semicircular shield over her head to block the attacks of the birds.

"Cynthia, passive defense won't help you defeat me. You have to come up with a way to fight back."

"You don't need to remind me."

Cynthia controlled the shield to prevent it from breaking, then raised her hand and a white ball of light slowly floated up.

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows.

Wandless casting? She even mastered such a skill?
That's right, I had studied this technique with her a long time ago, but she didn't learn it at that time. It seems that she is working very hard in private.

So, what are you going to do with a ball of light like this? Cynthia.

Zhou Ming looked at Cynthia with some curiosity.

Cynthia was obviously struggling to control two spells at the same time, and her shield was in danger and could break at any time.

But she had to devote more energy to controlling the light ball, which was her chance to win.

Finally, when the last bit of the shield was shattered by the bird, it immediately pounced on Cynthia.

At this moment, Cynthia suddenly pinched with her left hand.

puff--

The ball of light suddenly exploded, emitting a dazzling white light.

Zhou Ming closed his eyes subconsciously, and then he heard a sound of bursting, followed by a familiar fragrance rushing into his nostrils, along with Cynthia's voice.

"you lose."

Zhou Ming opened his eyes and found that Cynthia was standing in front of him, with her wand in front of his throat. There was a small blade made of magic on the top of the wand. As long as she pushed it forward slightly, she could easily pierce Zhou Ming's throat.

"You actually transformed Lumos into this? Interesting... But isn't this a bit inelegant?"

Zhou Ming didn't seem nervous at all, instead he asked with a smile.

"It's enough to defeat you. Can elegance be used to eat?"

Cynthia asked back.

"Makes sense."

Zhou Ming nodded, "Then, what I did is nothing."

Zhou Ming's voice sounded behind Cynthia.

Cynthia widened her eyes slightly.

Zhou Ming in front of her was still smiling, but behind her, another Zhou Ming slowly walked out of the air.

From nothing to something, he held the wand in his hand, and then lightly touched Cynthia's back with the wand.

"So, you still lose."

He didn't use any magic blade because there was no need. At the moment, Cynthia was completely defenseless against him. If it was a life-and-death fight, she would have been dead.

"I lost."

Cynthia was not someone who couldn't afford to have fun, so she nodded and put down her wand.

If she loses, she loses. She was no match for Zhou Ming before, and now the same scene is just repeating itself.

And she was already very satisfied that she could fight to this extent this time.

The other Zhou Ming slowly dissipated. It was just a magical phantom. Cynthia used the further modified fluorescent flash to seal Zhou Ming's sight and at the same time prevent him from using mental spells to interfere with her will. But she didn't expect that Zhou Ming would do the opposite. This time he only used a simple phantom and invisibility spell to trick her into using all her skills.

She was convinced to lose.

Clap, clap, clap - a burst of applause suddenly rang out, and Dumbledore walked over with a smile on his face, clapping his hands as he walked.

The students around seemed to have just woken up from their dreams and began to applaud loudly, especially Hermione and the other two.

Of course, the other students were not bad either. Zhou Ming and Cynthia presented them with such a wonderful duel, which deserves everyone's applause.

"You performed very well, Zhou Ming, Cynthia, thank you for your demonstration. I noticed that you used a lot of spells that the professor has not taught you yet. Learning in advance is a good habit, but you must do it within your ability. For you now, it is more important to lay a solid foundation than to master a large number of spells."

Dumbledore said, then looked at the students around him.

"Students Zhou Ming and Cynthia have proven with their actual performance that all of you can become very strong. The Duel Club is a great opportunity for you to better apply what you have learned in class. Next, I will return the class to you, but be careful not to use dangerous spells, and do not increase Madam Pomfrey's workload, unless you want her to prepare the most unpalatable potion for you."

Dumbledore winked at the students below, then looked at Zhou Ming and Cynthia.

"Come with me to my office. I have something to say to you."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he walked towards the dueling stage.

Zhou Ming and Cynthia looked at each other, Zhou Ming nodded to Cynthia, and then the two followed.

Wherever the three of them passed, the students subconsciously made way for them. Cynthia was okay because there weren't many people who knew her well, perhaps only Hermione.

But Zhou Ming was different. There were still some people who were familiar with him, or rather, many people felt that they were quite familiar with Zhou Ming. When Zhou Ming looked at them unintentionally, these people would keep blinking at him.

Zhou Ming just gave them a smile. These were all classmates from the same college and he didn't hate them.

If they had anything to say, they would have to wait until they left Dumbledore's office. Even if they had a lot to say now, they had to hold it in.

After the three of them left, the classroom was in an uproar, with all the students discussing the spell the two had just cast.

"Hermione, Hermione, have you seen the spells that Cynthia just used? Have you learned them? Can you use them?"

Ron asked immediately.

Although Harry didn't say anything, that expectant look in his eyes was enough to see through his constitution at a glance.

The other Gryffindor students immediately surrounded Hermione, and everyone was very curious about this question.

Hermione opened her mouth, wanting to explain that she hadn't learned anything, because she had no idea Zhou Ming and Cynthia were so strong.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhou Ming was able to control Voldemort, which is obviously not something an ordinary student can do.

No, let alone students, even professors in the college can’t do it.

Note that this is not referring to a loser like Lockhart. He certainly couldn't do that. It was already a sign of his courage that he didn't piss himself when he saw Voldemort.

Here we are talking about other reliable professors, because most professors have little knowledge of souls. They may be powerful, but they have no good way to deal with a residual soul.

Only a master like Dumbledore could have done the same thing.

So, Zhou Ming is actually on the same level as Dumbledore?

Hermione immediately threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind. How could there be a student as powerful as Dumbledore? At most, Zhou Ming was particularly good at love spells, so he showed a talent that others did not possess.

In addition, at the level of general spells, Zhou Ming is indeed far ahead of ordinary students.

Unfortunately, she only really noticed this today. Before this, she always thought that Zhou Ming was only good at casting spells silently and learning in advance. Today she was really eye-opening.

Now that Ron asked her this, Hermione wanted to just say that she didn't know how to do it.

But when the words came to her lips, she remembered the "rejection" she had suffered in Gryffindor, and she couldn't say it at all.

Hermione didn't have a good time in Gryffindor at first, which had something to do with her personality.

She was too serious, too rule-abiding, and liked to preach, so she was privately called Little McGonagall by other students. Although Professor McGonagall was very good, this nickname was obviously not a good thing.

Wasn't it because of these things that she hid in the girls' bathroom and cried quietly in the first grade and was almost attacked by a troll?

Of course, she is living a much better life now than before, because she, Harry and Ron form a trio. Harry is the savior, and he turned the tide and won the house cup for Gryffindor last year. Hermione follows Harry, so naturally she will no longer be excluded by others.

In addition, she has grown a lot in this year. At least she no longer says inappropriate things foolishly, and everyone has a better understanding of her, so Hermione can finally be treated as a normal student in Gryffindor House.

But this does not mean that Hermione has forgotten what happened in the past. In fact, she remembers it clearly.

I remember how these people excluded me before, but because I was close to Harry, they accepted me. Now, because I have a good relationship with Cynthia and Zhou Ming, they are asking me so enthusiastically.

For some unknown reason, Hermione did not say that she had not actually learned these things from Zhou Ming. Instead, she nodded.

"Of course I know, but I haven't learned it yet. I'm currently learning the techniques of silent casting from Zhou Ming and others. Maybe I will learn these things later."

Her expression was a little unnatural because she really couldn't lie.

"Really? Then can you teach us?"

Ron asked immediately.

"Ahem, about this, I need to ask Zhou Ming, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Hermione didn't dare look at other people and subconsciously looked upwards.

"Please, Hermione, you must get Zhou Ming's consent."

"We're all depending on you!"

"You must work hard!"

The classmates around her encouraged her.

Hermione felt extremely regretful, but now that she had said this, she couldn't just slap herself in the face, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

So, an hour later.

"That's the way it is..."

After Hermione finished speaking, she blushed and threw herself into Cynthia's arms, not daring to look at Zhou Ming's eyes.

"You, if you want to refuse, then just refuse. It's my fault for not keeping the secret and breaking my promise. I can stop learning the silent casting technique..."

"why not?"

However, Zhou Ming smiled.

Hermione was stunned when she heard this and subconsciously looked up at him.

"Silent spellcasting isn't a particularly amazing skill. When you reach senior year, everyone will be able to learn it. And have you forgotten? I broke a promise once before, and it just so happens that I can show it on the big screen this time."

Zhou Ming actually didn't mind helping Hermione to be in the spotlight. He had made three rules before, but he just didn't want to be too conspicuous.

But now he has no control over the matter.

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Dumbledore in the principal's office an hour ago.
