Chapter 36: Oolong Escapes From the Cave (Please Read Later)
Marcus Flint stood on a high stage at the same time as Cyrus.
The stage looked a bit like it was built with dining tables. Flint looked at his opponent warily while blushing with shame.
He was a sixth-grade student, but he had to fight against a young wizard of the same grade under the gaze of nearly a thousand pairs of eyes. And the other party seemed so relaxed and at ease, not taking him seriously at all.
He felt humiliated and embarrassed, but in fact, except for the Gryffindor students who were deliberately heckled, none of the other students felt that there was anything inappropriate about it.
After all, a few minutes ago, the first-year student named Ginny Weasley turned a dozen Slytherin students into dried snakes and hung them from the ceiling of the auditorium.
"I must teach you a lesson this time!" Flint said with a sharp look.
He really had no confidence, and he was sweating just by looking at Cyrus's fingertips twirling the wand.
"I hope you can perform better, otherwise Slantlin's level will really disappoint me." Cyrus said nonchalantly.
For a guy like Flint who has more brawn than brains, Tom Riddle could teach him a lesson at the level of a first-year curse. To be honest, it might be more dangerous for him to rush over with his fists while holding a wand.
"Come on, I'll give you a move." Cyrus said generously, "You can cast the spell first, or you can do a sneak attack."
His arrogant attitude made Flint grit his teeth, but the Slytherin gorilla did not refuse. He just tightened his grip on the wand and breathed hard.
‘Don’t be nervous Marcus, you were just careless before. ’
He kept telling himself in his mind.
'She's just a first-year wizard, you can't lose! ’
Lockhart started again, but this time Flint didn't take the lead. He kept looking at Cyrus vigilantly, ready to defend at any time, fearing that the same spell he cast before would be thrown away by Cyrus.
"What's wrong, you don't want to do anything?" Cyrus looked at Flint's timid appearance and found it a bit ridiculous. He originally looked like a gorilla, but now he looks more like a turtle with a shrunken head.
He took a step forward, and Flint immediately couldn't help but take a step back. This embarrassing look made the Slytherin wizards couldn't help but curse.
"What are you doing Flint?"
"a shame!"
"Teach her a lesson!"
"You drop out of school, you loser!" Malfoy scolded the loudest.
It was as if they were not the ones who were afraid of Ginny; as if they were the brave ones, and Marcus was the only cowardly loser.
Marcus glared at him fiercely, and Malfoy immediately shrank his head and did not dare to speak.
Now, the gorilla was finally forced to do something about it.
He raised his wand - Cyrus was glad he remembered that he was a wizard - and fired a stunner.
Cyrus knew it was a coma spell because Marcus said it loudly.
He hasn't mastered the secret of silent spells yet, that is, he can cast those small evil spells that are not on the table more smoothly.
Cyrus had no defense. He turned his head slightly to dodge the over-the-top attack.
A duel is not as simple as standing around and firing magic spells. The battle with Marcus even made Cyrus find it very boring.
He gave the opponent a few moves, or rather, his intention to release the spell with Marcus was so obvious every time that Cyrus easily dodged it.
This was too easy for him, but the audience in the audience were terrified.
From their perspective, "Ginny Weasley" didn't fight back for some reason, but could only avoid Marcus' attacks. Every time Marcus's curse rubbed "Ginny's" little body Flying over, hitting the wall hard.
"Ginny, fight back!" Ron yelled in fright.
"Knock her down, Flint!" The wizards of Slytherin were not to be outdone.
Everyone in every house is very nervous. People in three houses are worried about Ginny, but the Slytherin students are looking forward to it, hoping that Flint can avenge his shame!
Even Marcus Flint himself thought he had the upper hand. He shot out more and more curses and aggressively attacked while approaching, trying to put more pressure on Cyrus.
Ginny Weasley?
But that's it!
He thought, feeling that he had a chance to win!
Only Snape could see that Cyrus was at ease, and even at ease was a euphemism.
She didn't take Flint seriously, Snape thought.
His eyes were very gloomy.
A first-year freshman who has only been in school for half a semester can defeat a sixth-year wizard. This is already a fantasy outcome. Not to mention that the difference in strength between the two people now is almost as big as clouds and mud.
No need to think too much, there is definitely something wrong with Ginny Weasley!
"You bore me terribly, Mr. Flint."
On the stage, Cyrus was tired of this kind of childish play-house battle. He flicked his wrist and his wand made a whooshing sound in the air.
Flint's powerful spell was actually shattered by Cyrus in front of him. The seemingly powerful spell was just a useless firework in Cyrus's eyes.
Marcus was stunned. He seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water. His indomitable spirit was extinguished. He was holding the wand and was stared at by Cyrus. He felt afraid.
Cyrus slowly picked up the wand and shot a powerful spell!
The light of the spell instantly illuminated the shocked faces of the little wizards around the stage. They subconsciously closed their eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Armor protection!" Marcus Flint shouted anxiously.
"Boom!"
Then there was a muffled sound, like a firecracker exploded.
The stage seemed to shake a few times.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked timidly.
Harry didn't move his eyes away: "Flint blocked the spell."
Flint on the stage was staggering, as if he was drunk. His hands were numb, but he still blocked the spell.
Flint breathed a sigh of relief. After all, at least the spell could be blocked, right?
But he didn't know that this was just the power that Cyrus used for duels. Moreover, a qualified armor spell should not only block attacks, but also rebound the power of the spell.
"How many times can you block it, Flint?" Cyrus asked jokingly.
Marcus looked at the cute face of "Ginny" and swallowed his saliva in fear, as if he was not seeing a cute little girl, but a beast!
He couldn't help but take a few steps back, but heard another more terrifying voice behind him.
"Use the spell I taught you, Flint--" Snape "roared" in his unique way of speaking.
Flint was shocked and took another step towards Cyrus.
He didn't become brave, but it seemed that there were thorns on his back, forcing him to move forward.
"Dragon out of the hole!"
The front end of his wand exploded, and a black snake jumped out of the wand, fell heavily to the ground, raised its body, opened its fangs and began to roar!
The surrounding little wizards immediately jumped away in fear, their faces pale.
Marcus saw that the spell taught by Snape worked, and immediately looked at Cyrus with pride. However, he could not see any fear on Cyrus' face.
In fact, Cyrus was looking at the little black snake he summoned.
Compared with the basilisk, it was as small as a black tongue, but it was also grinning, and it didn't look scary at all, but rather cute.
"What's wrong, Flint, don't tell me you are going to scare me with this thing?" Cyrus chuckled. He had a good control over the Parseltongue accent and would not speak the Parseltongue without knowing it like Harry did.
"It doesn't matter, it's cute even if it's small."
Flint felt humiliated. Although he had been humiliated enough during this period, he still couldn't swallow this breath after all.
Seeing Cyrus' annoying look, he simply made up his mind and cast another spell at the snake.
This time it was an expansion spell.
The black snake seemed to be inflated with air in its stomach and immediately swelled up!
Its head almost touched the ceiling, and its tail swept hard, but it blew Flint away first.
The hall was in chaos, and the little wizards screamed and fled around like a pot of rats, but bumped into each other again. Lockhart's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
