"OK, now that everyone has arrived, today's' additional course on defense 'will officially begin! But before that, I'll make some comments on your self-practice..."
The room is quite spacious as it was last time. The flat floor, complete equipment and a tense atmosphere can provide an excellent environment for the training of defense against the dark arts.
In the middle of the room, Maka was standing in front of a group of little wizards to make a speech before the class tonight.
To be honest, after another emergency, people became more eager for the real defense against the dark arts.
Although many people have noticed this when the whole team gathered - it seems that there are five or six people missing from their defense team.
With the exception of Luna and another Ravenclaw, who are still recovering in the hospital ward, the other absentees have been taken away from Hogwarts by their parents.
Obviously, the storm of quitting and dropping out of school also affected the defense team.
"I can see from the small tests we just gave you that you have learned more or less." makaron said, "I know that there are a lot of materials, but you can study and practice them step by step at your own pace. As I said last time, I don't specify when you have to finish them."
"Remember, it's okay to learn slowly, but you must learn carefully and accurately. You have to cast a fixed spell at a fixed time, at a fixed speed and track of waving your staff - believe me, it's very important!"
Speaking of this, Maka suddenly paused.
"Well, as for why it's' very important '," he stressed again and then explained, "through today's training content, everyone will naturally understand."
After saying that, he waved his hand at will, and a training doll that had been placed against the wall of the room suddenly flew in and landed firmly beside him.
It seems that the doll is made of some kind of hard black wood. Under the light, its smooth surface is still slightly reflective.
Its upper body is similar to the structure of the human body, while its lower body is a stable support, which makes it look like a dummy model used to display clothes in a clothing store.
On the head and chest of the training puppet, there is a target painted in red paint.
"We'll use this today --"
Maka patted the dummy on the shoulder, and everyone seemed a little excited - which meant that they were afraid that they would have a chance to practice casting the spell.
"Of course, I can understand your excitement. In fact, today we will focus on practicing three very practical spells. Although they are not difficult, they always occupy a high position in the wizard duel."
"I think we all know that most of the magic circles in various countries have held duel competitions, and many wizards have participated over the years. However, duel competitions are usually very dangerous, so... At least our 'all British wizard duel Competition' has been suspended for many years..."
"I have looked up the statistics of various wizard duel events. Although the players have used more magic spells than Merlin's Beard - you know, all kinds of derivative magic spells or strange application methods - in short, it must be endless one by one. But among the countless magic spells, the probability of using some magic spells is very high."
"The first spell I want to talk about today is the most frequently used iron armor spell in statistical materials!"
Before the voice fell, some little wizards began to react. This spell also exists in the scope of the o.w.ls test, and some students have obviously learned it.
"Yes, that's right -" Maka reached out and motioned for everyone to be quiet. "As we all know, the difficulty of starting the iron armor spell is very low, because its spell text is very short - only three syllables, and its swing track has an incredible degree of freedom --"
At this point, Maka took out an ordinary wand and casually stroked in front of her.
"As long as it's a straight line! Whether you wave horizontally, vertically, obliquely... Or even backwards, you can normally cast this spell," he said. "However, because it's easy to use - even too simple, it's more difficult when people want to make this spell more powerful."
"As far as I know, most adult wizards can cast iron armor spells, but how many people can cast relatively qualified iron armor spells..." Maka stalled, "you should understand what I want to say."
After seeing whether everyone was listening carefully, he waved his hand immediately.
"Now, take out the information I sent you and turn to the pages about the armor spell." while waiting for the little wizards to turn the information, Maka paused a little, and then continued, "as mentioned in the information, the armor spell can withstand limited magic attacks, but it can bounce off or even bounce back the magic spell that strikes you."
"Therefore, when we use it, we can actually find a suitable bearing angle for it with the help of our steps, so that it can last longer around us..."
"In addition, although it can resist some physical damage, such as stones and wood... However, I suggest you use some other spells."
"Well... As for the best track of waving the wand, please pay attention - it's straight down!" Maka finally reminded, "the information also mentioned that the iron armor curse needs two spirits of 'firmness' and' resistance ', and waving the wand down hard will help you focus your attention quickly -"
"Ma Professor McLean?" Hermione suddenly raised her hand.
"Any questions?" asked Marca.
"But the information also said, 'you can minimize the consumption of the armor spell by waving the staff along the other party's magic spell track and dodging with your steps'?" Hermione said with some doubt.
"Yes, that's right," Marca nodded. "But it's very difficult for you now. When you're more familiar, you'll naturally understand how to choose. Now, you'd better practice according to the track of waving the staff with the greatest effect!"
"Oh... OK." Hermione still seemed a little unable to let go.
"OK," said Maka without saying more, but saw him look at everyone again. "Then next, the second magic spell to be introduced today - disarm curse."
"Yes, in Hogwarts, the disarming spell is taught earlier than the armor spell just now. I believe most of the students present have learned it. Moreover, according to my previous test on everyone, the information about this spell has been well rebuilt."
"So, the next step is to learn in practice!"
"Oh! I can finally try!"
Most of the little wizards took out their wands and seemed to be a little impatient.
"It seems that everyone is ready," said Marca, waving his wand at the training doll, and then inserting the wand directly into the doll's hand. "Then, let's start!"
"Except your weapon!"
Because Maka didn't let them line up one by one, when he gave orders, almost all the students crowded in front waved their own wands.
For a time, the sound of chanting mantras rose one after another, and red flames flashed continuously, and bursts of bright light splashed around the doll.
The iron armor spell put on by Maka to train the doll was soon broken. Then, the wand in the doll's hand suddenly flew high and crashed into the ceiling, and the doll itself fell and flew out.
"All right, stop!"
As soon as Maka waved, the flying wand flew back to him.
"As you can see, the iron armor curse I imposed was soon broken. Obviously, a large number of people will usually be an incomparably powerful advantage." he took this opportunity to emphasize, "but who can tell me how to give full play to the collective advantage?"
"Cast spells at the same time! Cast spells at a fixed point!" Maka shouted. "If the spells cast by everyone are too scattered, powerful enough wizards can even pop them all without leakage - yes, with armor spells."
"But if you cast your power on a wizard at the same time... Believe me, even Voldemort can only hide!"
"What about you?" Ron asked subconsciously.
"Oh -" Marca shrugged. "Don't think I'm so good. Of course I have to hide."
Maka believes that as long as these students can seriously train their cooperation ability, a group of four or five can easily solve a black wizard. When all of them gather together, they can even bring no small threat to Voldemort or greenward at a specific time.
"The last spell is the 'coma spell'," Maka continued. "The reason why it was selected is, of course, the same as the above two spells - simple and practical! When it..."
As Maka gradually explained the last spell today, the formal training began.
From the initial defense maximization training of iron armor curse to the coordination training of disarming curse and coma curse, and even finally Maka added the training content of array volley. If someone else sees it, he will probably go to the Ministry of magic to report it immediately.
Because no matter how you look at it, it's like training a wizard army.
At the end of the defense team's training that night, although a group of little wizards felt extremely tired, they also had a feeling of boiling blood.
"I think... Maybe we should make a name," Hermione suddenly looked at Maka. "It will promote our unity, won't it?"
"... name?" murmured Maka.
