Chapter 12： Court duel

One day during the Easter holiday, Schelling received a duel challenge from an owl.

Schelling was at a loss when he first received this challenge letter. After many inquiries, he clarified the ways of the Slytherin faction dispute. "It turns out that there are such undercurrents in Slytherin. These are plots that have not been mentioned in the original book. I start to think that campus life is also quite interesting." When encountering a plot that was not originally planned, Xie Lin A cheerful smile appeared, as if something very happy had happened.

There are two challengers-one of them is a former Slytherin seeker who was replaced by Draco with a money offensive-Terrence Higgs in the third grade. He lost his search for being black boxed. I am not convinced by the position of golfer, so I want to challenge Schelling to a duel. If Schelling loses, I hope that Draco can return the position of seeker. The other challenger is Gallup Lestrange in the 4th grade. He regards the Malfoy family’s first choice to protect themselves after Voldemort’s fall as a betrayal to the pure-blood family, so the Malfoy family is not allowed. 'S children easily build popularity and fame in Slytherin.

Cautious Schelling asked Daphne to help investigate the strength of the two challengers from the family, and decided to go to the appointment to accept the challenge. Schelling originally had the idea of ​​establishing a power to follow him in Slytherin. This challenge was just a good opportunity for him to stand up. Schelling didn’t want to be trapped by narrow pure-blood thinking like those pedantic pure-bloods. He hoped that the forces he had built could be meritocracy, and that they could be used only-Schelling values ​​a person more than blood. Character, temperament, strength and talent. The so-called fight against foreigners must settle down inside, only if the entire Slytherin is conquered, can he feel at ease to recruit talents from other colleges.

This challenge has long been known to everyone under someone’s deliberate propaganda. The moment Schelling signed the challenge to accept the challenge, the little wizards who witnessed the scene in the lounge were all in turmoil. The little wizards They were all looking forward to this duel, and some even invited Dean Professor Snape to be the referee on the night of the duel. The duel was scheduled for the evening two days later, in the Slytherin common room.

On the night of the duel, when Schelling stepped into the common room at the time, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became quiet and weird. I saw Professor Snape standing in the middle of the lounge with no expression on his face. Every corner was crowded with little wizards, and Schelling glanced quickly and found that almost all Slytherin students were present. Draco looked at Schelling with a worried expression. After all, Schelling’s opponents were students who were several grades higher than Schelling; Daphne and Meredith were full of blind faith in Schelling, and they looked forward with excitement at this moment. She looked at Schelling with her eyes.

Just as Snape was about to speak, Schelling interrupted hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Professor, I wish I could say a few words before the duel tonight begins."

Snape's cold poker face didn't show anything, and Schelling took his non-objection as a tacit approval. He cast an amplification spell on himself, "Good evening, Slytherin classmates, I must all know the meaning behind the duel tonight. Before that, I would like to explain one thing first. Today, I will make an appointment. It is my personal decision, and it has nothing to do with the Malfoy family to which I belong!"

After saying this, the audience was in an uproar, and the little snakes in the lounge whispered to each other, as noisy as a vegetable market.

Schelling then said loudly: "On the first day I was assigned to Slytherin, I was very satisfied, ambitious, shrewd, valued honor, judging the situation, keeping one's body wise, and winning first. This is what I care about. But I don't Did not look down on any student at any of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Because today I discovered that Slytherin College is not perfect!"

When 　　 came out, the audience was shocked. Except for Snape, who was still expressionless, everyone was shocked by the shocking words of Schelling, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Seeing that his desired effect has been achieved, Schelling continued his efforts: "Students here, do you know the purpose of Salazar Slytherin's establishment of the academy? Do you know why he insists on the pure-blooded view?" He paused. After a while, he continued to speak when the Slytherin students looked at him suspiciously. "It's strength! It's unity! It's a unified will!" Xie Lin looked at them with piercing eyes, "Of course, there are interests that continue and interweave continuously!"

"The real Slytherin should be made up of outstanding students. Intrigue and scheming are not the best language to describe us. The correct narrative should be solidarity and mutual assistance and mutual achievement. The real Slytherin cares not about blood. The excellence, but the real talent and strength. The real Slytherin treats resourcefulness only as a means, not an end. It no longer makes people feel disgusting, but makes people feel elegant. The real Slytherin, every Everyone can happily say to my family on the day I joined, see, I entered the best college in Hogwarts, and on the day I left, I bowed deeply to the Slytherin badge and thanked myself for being here. every day."

"Look at you again, and think about what you are doing today. While you are holding your self-proclaimed aristocratic mentality, the brave Gryffindor is improving your dark magic defense. You are complacent about your conspiracy and trickery. At the time, the wise Ravenclaw was familiar with one more spell than us. When you split and struggled for a little profit, the mandala grass planted by the diligent Hufflepuff has reached the harvest season. Why should we? Do you consider yourself superior? Just by a bloodline that can't bring us any power? Just by thinking of petty conspiracies and tricks?"

"So I hope everyone here can forget that I am a Malfoy tonight, but remember that I am a Slytherin!"

I have to say that Schelling's impassioned remarks moved many little wizards.

Prefect Gemma Farley first stood up and applauded. Then Draco, Pansy, Daphne, and Meredith also stood up and applauded. Then more and more little wizards joined the applause. More than half of the students in the audience were applauding, especially the little wizards from weak families, or the little wizards from mixed families. Their status in the Slytherin is generally low. The position of the prefect, the Quidditch team The location, and even the excellent resources in the common room, are usually not their turn. They have long been dissatisfied with their inferior taste in the college. The vision described by Schelling at this moment can most resonate with them.

As an opponent, Terence Higgs was also moved by Schelling’s words. He is a small, mixed-race family from a humble background. He was able to gain a foothold in the cruelly competitive Slytherin thanks to his father Bertie Higgs and proud. Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of Luo’s office, has some friendships, but despite this, he obviously has a lot of talent in flying, but he still lost his spot as a seeker. This time he will become a bird in the early stage. In fact, he will be hidden by some. Forced by the powerful family behind the scenes, they were forced to stand up and be used as guns.

The hideous look on Gallup Lestrange's face flashed past, and he sneered: "My schoolboy, you are really good at talking. It seems to be very reasonable. The problem is-you want to change the situation. Lettering, do you have that strength?"

Schelling cut with disdain, "Is there that ability? It's not just talking about it, we will know soon!" Before Gallup responded, he said to Snape: "Professor, I'm going to Okay, let me challenge Senior Higgs for the first duel today!"

Terence looked at Schelling's confident expression without fear. In the eyes of the boy who was still immature, he didn't see any hesitation or fear, only firmness and confidence. He sighed secretly, staring into Xie Lin's eyes and said: "I was moved by what you said. I hope you can remember what you said today-Professor, I'm sorry to waste your time tonight, I decided to abstain!"

Snape's expression did not change, but he nodded slightly to indicate that he accepted Terence's abstention.

Then Gallup stood up, went to the very center of the lounge, and stood on the opposite side of Schelling. Although he despised Schelling in words, he didn't underestimate him. After all, Schelling's performance in the duel club was obvious to all. During Christmas, Harry and Ron were cleanly cleaned up with one enemy and two. After the two performed the ancient duel ceremony to each other, the duel began after Snape counted to three!

Gallup knew that Schelling was powerful, and he took the first shot, "except your weapon", "fainted" and "all petrified". In a blink of an eye, three attacking spells were shot in turn, sealing all the places where Schelling could walk. Actually the fast casting technique can achieve three shots in one flash!

Schelling estimated that he could achieve two shots in one instant at most with his casting speed. After judging that he could not win at speed, the wand cast a spell filled with red light from a tricky angle, and the spell hit the Gallup accurately. The stun curse in the middle of the three curses sent, the two curses collided, not only did not melt each other, but rebounded vigorously like two **** colliding, and flew in opposite directions at a sudden acceleration. While the Red Lights Curse knocked the Disarming Curse on the left into the air, the Stunning Curse also knocked the Body Bound Curse away from the attack track. Schelling used only one spell to defuse the opponent's offensive without leaving the spot. This requires great courage and absolute confidence in the accuracy of his spell.

Gallup didn’t have time to admire Schelling’s response. While Schelling resolved the offensive, Gallup moved around and ran around Schelling at a very fast speed. When he ran to the left back of Schelling, he Once again, the same three spells as before were continuously issued within an instant to attack. Facing the same offensive as before, Schelling chose to change his response strategy. Schelling used his quick casting skills to issue two general counter-curses in succession, "Spell Stop", which accurately hit and offset the opponent's two spells. While the ground rolled avoiding the last spell, it sent a dim white light from bottom to top at the running Gallup!

Gallup, who was still running, tried to dodge by turning sideways, but Bai Guang turned abruptly in a weird curve, hitting Gallup's chest, and knocking Gallup into the air for an instant and then suddenly from a height. Landing! Only a strong impact was heard throughout the audience, and along with the sound of broken bones, Gallup made a terrible scream!

Snape rushed up instantly, poured him a bottle of potion, and then used the spell to start some first aid before a student sent him to the school hospital. Snape stared at Schelling, and Wannian Bingberg’s expression became very gloomy at this moment Although this is a fair duel, it is still a violation to use a curse to cause such serious harm to classmates. The behavior of the school rules, and Schelling’s attack speed was too fast, even Snape would not have reacted, otherwise he could have prevented Gallup from being seriously injured with a curse. At this moment, he, as the referee on the scene, would also have to bear it. Some responsibilities.

Because Schelling has been casting spells silently during the duel, no one has been able to see the red light and white light that Schelling has given off. Among the people present, only Snape recognized the white light. It is an advanced application method of Levitating Spell. This spell is a work modified by Schelling’s Floating Charm. It can quickly raise the target of the spell and then fall to the ground quickly, causing the subject to be injured by the impact. Schelling named it "A Thousand Catties Falling" curse". But even with Snape’s insight, he couldn’t make out what kind of curse Schelling’s red glow was, let alone how Schelling turned the curse after he had left the wand. . I have to say that Schelling’s various mysteries have successfully become his second priority in his heart. As for who is the first priority, I need to ask? Naturally, Harry Potter, the son of his enemy.

In all fairness, Gallup's strength is definitely not weak, and the casting speed of one hand, three shots in a flash, is enough to make most of the little wizards present sigh. And Schelling knocked him down in two rounds, which caused a strong visual impact on the little wizards present. At this moment, Schelling's strong and cruel image suddenly penetrated into the hearts of every Slytherin student-special Lance Higgs suddenly felt fortunate for his earlier decision to abstain from voting. Those students who had been unruly towards the Malfoy family were in awe of the Malfoy family, and the students who had originally admired Schelling expressed their respect. The worship is even more fanatical...
