Hogwarts snake in the mist

The candy war in the training room quickly attracted the professors. Eric, Iron Triangle, and Little Joseph saw that the situation was not right and escaped early, thus escaping.

This became the largest number of children in the history of Hogwarts who violated school rules. Children in nearly two branches were affected, except for the few culprits.

"I heard that there is a competition between you." As expected, Dumbledore found the two people who had been asked by the children to compete.

Eric glanced at little Joseph, who nodded to indicate that he had collected the gold galleons, and Eric nodded accordingly.

"Appropriate sparring can promote enthusiasm for learning, but remember to be merciful and don't hurt the other party." Dumbledore looked at Eric meaningfully.

After leaving, Eric immediately came over and was about to speak when he was interrupted by little Joseph.

"I know the rules. I'll give you the golden galleons during dinner tonight."

Eric nodded with satisfaction. This young man has a bright future and is on the road.

After a brief farewell, the two parted ways. Eric was going to train in the training room that had been cleaned after the war, and little Joseph was going to the common room.

"Are you really strong enough?" He muttered to himself as he looked at Eric who was far away.

"I seem to have become stronger again." In the training room, Eric released a few magic spells, but found that his magic capacity seemed to be more than before.

Since the troll incident, he hasn't tested his strength properly.Eric quickly observed his shadow core and found a difference.

The shadow core is much larger than before, and the shadow energy can now form slightly larger objects.At first he could only build objects the size of a small quill, but now he can build things as big as a fist.

Eric's mind moved, and a knife made of shadow elements appeared in the air.On the surface, it looks like an ordinary knife, but if it receives a powerful enough blow, it will turn into a shadow element.

He picked up the floating knife and stabbed himself. "Ouch, it still hurts." Unexpectedly, no blood flowed from the cut made by the knife.

"This defense is improved." A surprising idea suddenly appeared in Eric's mind, but he still had to put it into practice.

Eric started running circles around the training room. He used to rest after five laps, but this time he finally stopped after running ten laps, and his physical strength doubled.

In terms of defense and physical strength, could it be the reason for the giant monster's soul? The giant monster was disemboweled by him, and it must be dead.

However, Eric's shadow core actually absorbed the troll's soul, and his body also acquired certain characteristics of the troll.

For example, now, he has received an increase in the physical strength and defense of the troll.Fortunately, I can only get some increases, otherwise it will be over if I get the characteristics of the troll's low IQ.

Thanks to his habits in his previous life, Eric did not just train his magic spells in the training room, but also trained both magic spells and physical fitness.

He had always thought that a real mage could only serve as a fort with peace of mind and output damage.Later, after inspiring the Shadow Core and embarking on the path of the lone wolf, the real mage in his heart has become Gandalf.

A true mage must be able to retreat as a nanny or as a long-range, and advance as a melee as a human shield. One person is a team and does not need other companions.

Therefore, Eric also pays great attention to his physical fitness and mastery of melee combat, and goes to the training room to train every day.

"The shadow core now is more and more different from the previous one. Is it because the magic and spiritual energy recovery here are different?"

The next day, an announcement appeared in the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms. Eric and Little Joseph's sparring session would be held in the training room after all the afternoon classes.

The news spread throughout the school instantly, and even Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw knew that the principal had agreed to this competition.

Logically speaking, isn't this kind of behavior regarded as nonsense by professors? It's just a first-year student, at best, just a little spark.

But neither Eric nor Joseph Jr. are ordinary freshmen.

"Is it to test whether my strength is enough?" Eric said to himself, "Whatever, I just need to win this competition."

When it was time for sparring, they came to the training room.

People in the training room have automatically vacated an open space, and students from the Lion Academy and Snake Academy stood on both sides in an orderly manner.Because Dumbledore and the deans of the two branches were also watching, there was exceptional harmony between the two branches.

Eric and little Joseph bowed to each other, and the discussion began.

"Expelliarmus" "Stand still"

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Eric easily dodged Little Joseph's attack and locked his legs.

Like these non-directional spells, the best way to attack is to control the enemy before attacking.

"passed out"

Eric's spell followed quickly. As soon as the last spell appeared from the wand, the next one appeared.

Little Joseph was hit by a stiff leg and fell unconscious the next second.The first round ended so quickly. Everyone was stunned. Can the curse still be avoided?

You said that your magic spell has no direction, but everyone still cooperates stupidly and insists on standing still to receive the magic spell. This is not stupid.

However, although the magic spell has no direction, it cannot cover a wide range.When he escaped from little Joseph's curse, Eric had to run a short distance before he could escape the curse.

Although little Joseph also learned what he was doing and began to learn to avoid Eric's curse, but under the double blow of better physical fitness and who knows how many times higher combat experience, he was completely crushed. The curse never touched Eric.

How could he be so fast? Wouldn't he be tired? How could his magic power not be used up yet? Little Joseph was panting, with sweat on his face. He couldn't hold on any longer and chose to admit defeat.

"You are so strong." Little Joseph's eyes were filled with admiration.Everyone else was also shocked, Eric's strength was really amazing.

Even Principal Dumbledore was surprised by his performance. Eric was only a first-year student and already had such strength.

All kinds of advanced magic spells are at your fingertips, and your agility seems to be at its highest. You can predict the opponent's attack every time, dodge and counterattack at the same time.

Moreover, when used in conjunction with the magic spells in his hands, they can sometimes play a special role.Step by step, Eric seemed to see through the opponent's reaction, slowly leading the opponent into his trap.

"Well, because of Eric's outstanding performance, Slytherin gets twenty points."

Principal Dumbledore's praise made the Slytherin students burst into cheers.
