Volume 1 Chapter 54 Yu-Gadim-Le-Viosa-!
"For a brave man, trying is a choice he will never regret."
Slughorn raised his wand in praise, looking pleased with Jon's choice without a hint of false happiness.
"If Hogwarts is still Hogwarts, and I am still the head of Slytherin, I will let you enter Slytherin no matter what you say when you enroll."
"It's a pure-blood academy. Would it be willing to accept a student like me with dirty blood?" Jon said sarcastically in a low voice.
Slughorn said in all seriousness.
"A true Slytherin has never used bloodline as an absolute standard. As long as one has a noble heart, lofty ideals, and is willing to take absolutely courageous actions for one's goals and ambitions, then one is a perfect Slytherin."
"And then? In the Hogwarts castle that uses a snake as its school emblem, is there anyone who can be called such a perfect Slytherin?"
"I'm sorry, actually I haven't been back to the castle since I stepped down as the head of Slytherin. But after I leave here, I might go there to take a look." Slughorn said so easily.
He had completely lost the patience to continue chatting with John, and the tip of the wand in his hand was aimed precisely at John's body.
"That's all for today, Jon. Don't worry, I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll grow up when we meet next time, so no matter what choice you make, whether you can stop me in the end or not, I won't hurt you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tip of the wand flashed bright red light!
"Falling unconscious."
Jon's voice sounded almost at the same second!
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
He did not wave the wand in his left hand, but the moment the spell showed its effect, he dodged the stun spell flying towards him with a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person, and rushed straight towards the fat walrus!
Jon was very clear about the gap between himself and a veteran magic professor. Whether it was the number of spells learned or the strength of spell casting, even if he studied for another ten years, he might not be able to catch up with Slughorn's current level.
If he wanted to have a chance of winning, he had to find another way. Although the magic on the ring was taught to him by Slughorn, due to the special nature of this magic, it was difficult for others to counter such spellcasting methods except for the person who had learned it.
To dissolve the levitation spell, an ordinary general antidote is enough, but for a levitation spell that works in John's body, how can an ordinary antidote affect the wizard's body?
Since there is no way to fight back at the magical level, let's try it in the simplest and purest way.
The levitation spell used on the body can only reduce Jon's weight but cannot increase his strength, so if it comes to close combat, he actually has the strength of an ordinary 11-year-old boy. But Slughorn is also a centenarian, and he is the kind of frail and sickly person who is extremely addicted to sweets and lacks exercise, and will sweat after walking a few steps.
If you really compare the two, they are just as good as each other, but even if they are just as good, their winning rate is much higher than John's when he shoots him with his wand!
At the beginning, John's actions were extremely smooth. Slughorn seemed to have no time to react to his extraordinary speed. When he found that the stun spell had failed and raised his wand again, John had already arrived in front of him.
Jon's breathing became noticeably faster and he raised his fist high!
"Wake up! Teacher! If the Dark Lord really respected you and was willing to accept you, then why would he force you like that during the second attack! If your reaction was really half a second slower, his men would have been blown to death!"
"boom!"
His fist did not hit Slughorn's face, but a slight ripple appeared and a transparent light shield blocked the fat walrus.
Slughorn looked at Jon who was so close to him and smiled without changing his expression.
"I am more sober than anyone else, Jon. It is precisely because of his character that he can truly do what he wants to do. This is also your biggest shortcoming. If you can put less emphasis on emotions, then I believe your future achievements will definitely not be low."
He spoke softly, without waving his wand or chanting any spell, but the wooden boxes scattered around the utility room underwent tremendous changes silently.
These dead objects were given life by magic. They became soft and slender, and finally turned into countless emerald green poisonous snakes that stabbed towards Jon!
Jon did not retreat or choose to dodge again. It could be said that he had no way to avoid it now. The entire floor of the storage room was occupied by poisonous snakes, except for the space where he and Slughorn were standing!
He raised the wand in his hand, aimed it at the transparent light shield, and chanted the only offensive spell he knew.
"Everyone is petrified!"
A bright red spell shot out from the tip of his staff. At such a close distance, there was no possibility that the spell would go astray, and it retained the maximum impact force!
The Shield Charm protecting Slughorn was stained red by the Petrification Charm!
But even so, the difference in the quality of the spells between the two was so great that John's spell still couldn't break through this layer of protection, and it couldn't even shatter it. It only left some fine spider-web-like cracks on the surface of the Iron Armor Spell.
Even so, it was enough to bring a look of surprise to Slughorn's face.
"It's a perfect petrification spell. This shouldn't be taught in first-year classes. You've surpassed most of your peers by being able to reach this level just by self-study."
As he spoke, the poisonous snakes on the ground had spread to Jon's feet.
Although Jon's attack failed, he did not show any disappointment on his face. He stared into Slughorn's eyes through the broken gaps in the Shield Charm and spoke calmly.
"The day I saw you brewing Polyjuice Potion, I wanted to give you a surprise, teacher. But it's not too late to let you know now."
He did not wave his wand, nor did he even make any move to raise the wand in his hand. He just gently uttered the spell that most wizards would use when they first learned magic.
"Yu-gadi-m-le-viosa-!"
The next moment, the "Floating Spell", which had never been shown to the world except by Neville, showed its effect!
Just when the fastest venomous snake had touched the upper of his shoe, the earth's gravity suddenly lost its pull on Jon, and a strange force made him float in the air!
