Chapter 151 Training

In the room where the response was required, Mike, who had put on fresh training clothes, was holding a European-style long sword high and slashing hard. Big beads of sweat fell from Mike's face, but the boy was completely unaware and just focused on slashing.

This is a warm-up for Mike's daily training. The original warm-up exercise was supposed to be a warm-up exercise, but after Mike got the Sword of Victory and Oath, he changed it to raising the sword and slashing twenty times. After all, he got the Sword of Victory and Oath. It would be a waste not to practice swordsmanship with swords that are at the level of artifacts.

Don’t underestimate it. It’s only twenty times. This is because Mike used the transformation technique to create a long sword weighing only one kilogram. If the sword of victory and oath is used, Mike’s current strength is estimated to be five times. It's quite choking.

In fact, Mike originally wanted to hire a teacher to teach him how to practice swordsmanship, but unfortunately there was no swordsman in Hogwarts. And the school hadn't been on vacation yet, so Mike couldn't hire a swordsmanship teacher from outside the school. For the time being, he could only practice basic chopping.

After finishing the slashing practice, the panting Mike released the transformation spell and was ready to start the magic training. The European-style long sword held in Mike's hand quickly shortened and deformed, turning into a dark wand.

"The flames are blazing!"

Mike waved his wand vigorously, and a ring of fire exploded with Mike as the center, turning the entire 10-meter open space around Mike into a sea of ​​flames.

But it wasn't over yet. The spreading flames quickly gathered under the control of Mike's mental power and turned into a huge fireball that rushed towards the alchemy dummy nearby.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded violently the moment it came into contact with the dummy. However, unlike previous fireball explosions, the giant fireball did not turn into sparks and dissipate after the explosion. Instead, it turned into a giant fireball centered around the training dummy. Huge flame tornado.

Mike looked at the alchemy dummy that was quickly burned in the flame tornado, nodded with satisfaction, waved his wand lightly, and the flame tornado turned into a fireball again and rushed towards Mike.

"The stone spear appears!"

Facing the fireball coming towards him with huge heat, Mike calmly released the ground stabbing technique.

Just as the fireball was about to hit Mike, a huge 1-meter-thick stone wall rose from the ground to protect Mike behind him.

There was only a loud noise, and the huge fireball hit the stone wall hard. In an instant, the surface of the stone wall exploded into pieces, and then the wave of flames that gathered gradually burned the hard stone wall.

Mike, who was protected behind the stone wall, frowned as he looked at the stone wall in front of him that was about to be burned through by flames. He waved his hand to disperse the flames and broken stone wall, returned to the rest area and sat down.

After exhaling heavily, Mike collapsed on the soft sofa chair.

What just happened is the result of his training over the past month.

After studying the "Fire Master's Guide", Mike not only greatly improved his control over fire spells, but also developed many fire spell variant techniques including fire tornadoes. He was also inspired to improve the ground stab technique.

Now the ground thorn spell is no longer a simple sneak attack spell. Mike has changed its fixed casting method and turned the conical ground thorn into a rectangular shape, forming a shape similar to that created by Cedric's transformation spell. The stone shield that comes out.

It's a pity that the stone wall transformed by the ground stabbing technique is still not strong enough, and cannot compare with the magic shield created by the total protection. However, Mike was very satisfied with being able to achieve this level. After all, the magic power of the ground stabbing technique is small. The magic power consumed by everyone to cast it once is enough to cast the ground stabbing technique three times.

Taking advantage of the break, Mike picked up the player information and novel outline given by Lockhart and read it.

I have to say that Lockhart is indeed good at writing novels. Although the outline he gave only contained a dry plot without any modification, the plot was full of ups and downs and was unexpectedly good-looking.

But the only thing that made Mike uncomfortable was that the protagonist of the novel was himself, and the various plots designed by Lockhart in the outline were somewhat exaggerated.

For example, in the previous battle in the cave at the bottom of the lake, Mike and others obviously relied on Dumbledore to kill the basilisk, but in the novel, it turned out to be Mike showing off his power, and the small universe exploded with a blast that destroyed the world. The fire spell burned the basilisk to death.

This made Mike, who was reading a novel with himself as the protagonist for the first time, feel a little embarrassed. If this novel was really written like this, those who knew the truth would probably laugh their heads off.

Mike, who secretly decided to let Lockhart revise this part of the plot, picked up another stack of parchment, which was an analysis of the combat capabilities of the top 12 players in the Duel Competition.

Among them, there is relatively little information on seed players from major colleges. Except for Mike and Cedric, who have relatively complete information because they have experienced actual combat, the analysis of the other two's combat capabilities is just blank.

In contrast, the information of the other eight players who were eliminated from the first round was much richer. Almost everyone's information was filled with a whole piece of parchment.

At the end of this pile of information, the players who would reach the top 8 in the next round were predicted. Percy and Carol's names were not only written on it, but also specially marked in red ink.

The information clearly shows that Percy and Carol are almost certain to advance to the top 8, but the strength of the others is far behind them. If you want to compete for the other two places, you can only watch them on the spot. play.

Among them, Carol is another pearl of Ravenclaw and the president of the female student union of Hogwarts. Needless to say, her strength is great.

When Mike saw this name, he felt a little sorry. After all, it could be said that Mike had taken away her seeding spot this time, so Carol had to squeeze in a lot of time from her intense study life in grade 7 to participate. High-intensity duel competition preliminary.

But despite this, Mike would not do something stupid that would sacrifice himself for others. After all, Mike's own time was also very tight. Under the dual pressure of Quidditch and Charms training, Mike felt that his hair had begun to fall out recently.

Percy's strength is still considered to be higher than Carol's. Mike's love rival never suffered any injuries during the entire month-long ultra-high-intensity duel. Almost all the players he faced were killed by him in an instant, and a few... A stronger opponent was defeated after only holding on for a few minutes.

Seeing this, Mike frowned again. This Percy seemed to be a little too strong.

Although Mike knew that Percy was not that mediocre, it was too much to be so strong.

While thinking, Mike's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a possibility.

"Isn't he the heir?"
