Face to face? Is that what you mean?
Xifa threw out his patron saint and asked Elise if they were okay.
Everyone saw a silver-white light emerging from the tip of Xifa's staff and disappearing at the door in the blink of an eye.
Then, Xifa turned around slowly.
"Tom, I changed my mind. I want to fight you!"
"Tell me, the time, place, and stakes of the duel!"
Seeing the flash of joy in Tom's eyes, Xifa felt that Tom must think that he could defeat her.
He seems to have achieved his goal!
Malfoy, Prefect...
Ah, is he telling himself that if he is about to win, will he be able to become a prefect?
By the way, Tom, what do you mean?
Deliberately let Cassandra hear your news, and let Cassandra tell you the news.
Then he openly challenged himself to a duel before bringing it up.
No way? Is this your tactic against me?
Smart people usually figure out the other person's intentions and spend a lot of energy to do so.
You have been interfering with yourself and wasting your energy!
Of course, it should be true that Abraxas Malfoy, who defeated him and was slapped hard by him, made Tom a prefect.
Tom letting himself waste energy should also be his purpose, and even let himself know that he was spying on Cassandra, so that he would be annoyed and agree to a duel with him.
To be honest, this incident really made me want to beat Tom up.
No, with such a mentality, it means falling into Tom's trap.
Tom must have mastered some powerful magic, or he felt that he could resist his own transformation.
Until now, all his behaviors have made him feel that he is a self-righteous person, thus despising him.
Fortunately, I know who he really is.
His series of words and actions, which can be called idiotic, are just to give himself a fatal blow in the duel.
But Tom, you forgot one thing.
When the gap in strength is too large, all means are flashy and vulnerable!
"Tomorrow, Quidditch pitch!"
"It's a bet..."
Tom also stood up and slowly came to Xifa, waving his hand and placing a soundproof spell.
"I win. Cassandra has to give up her qualifications to obtain the Slytherin inheritance."
"If you win, I will tell you a clue about the secret room."
Xifa nodded and shook his head.
"One more thing, tell me the news you know about the outer courtyard."
Tom took a bite with disdain.
"I can tell you the news now."
"Some of what I said is true."
"Jack was really used as a sacrifice, and his soul was sacrificed. The undead ones are just nonsense."
"Is there nothing else?" Seeing Tom's reservations, Xifa frowned and asked one more question.
"I can't tell you the rest of the news until the duel is over."
"Oh, by the way, I can give you a hint - portrait!"
portrait...
On the stairs of the outer castle.
Xifa reached the top of the stairs, climbed another step, and reached a new corridor.
It was here that Xifa stopped.
He took out his wand and followed Professor Leslie's instructions to break the curse.
Hidden floors reappear.
Sypha returns to the hallway where Jack's accident happened.
portrait...
The only portrait on this floor is the dark wind portrait.
A man in a black cloak dragging a ragged...
Xifa's pupils narrowed slightly.
clothes
The ragged man was gone.
The person in the black cloak now is a skeleton!
That projection of Jack...
After inspection, the nature of Jack's projection has not changed.
Is it a coincidence? Or maybe there are new anomalies that I haven't noticed yet.
"It is common for the scene of a painting to change drastically. For magic paintings, only the protagonist will not change."
Is Tom lying to himself?
Xifa couldn't help but have some doubts. Professor Leslie said that such changes in the magic painting were normal.
No, Tom wouldn't lie to himself about this.
Now he just wants to obtain the top power inheritance.
Before that, he would not do anything to harm Hogwarts. Junqu Pavilion
He definitely didn't want to go back to his cold orphanage.
His wand was purchased from Ollivander, and he cannot cast magic outside of school.
Otherwise, Ministry of Magic officials would give him a...
Nothing.
The war broke out, professors went to the battlefield, and even some seniors who were about to graduate went to the front line for training.
Where do the officials from the Ministry of Magic come from to manage the little wizards performing magic outside of school? As long as it doesn't cause a big commotion in the rear...
Forget it, wait a moment, maybe the answer will be revealed after the duel!
After all, Tom was hiding a piece of information from himself.
——————
The changing situation of the war outside and the departure of Hogwarts professors inside.
This casts a shadow over the hearts of every little wizard at Hogwarts.
However, today, they happily gathered their friends and headed to the Quidditch pitch.
Because the news of the duel between Xifa and Tom spread throughout Hogwarts.
Before entering, 'Elise' arranged Xifa's outfit.
"Are they two okay?"
"No problem. The two of them join forces. It will be difficult for me to defeat them without using the second source of magic power."
The Elise in front of her was transformed by Cassandra after drinking Polyjuice Potion.
Elise, on the other hand, took on her appearance and, together with Luna, squatted for prey in the main castle of Hogwarts.
At night, the portraits in Hogwarts monitor what's going on in the castle.
Xifa tried, but he still couldn't use the Disguise Spell to avoid the surveillance of the portrait.
Unless he learns the powerful confusion spell again. A powerful confusion spell that can confuse the tools of Hogwarts.
Casper Crouch is a professor after all, and he can monitor his location through the network of portraits.
In this way, he can easily bypass his inspection.
But today during the day, it was Abraxas Malfoy who suggested that Tom challenge him to a duel.
But it's also possible that Casper Crouch would let Abraxas Malfoy spare him.
Anyway, if Casper Crouch wants to cause trouble.
Today's duel time is the perfect time slot.
Almost all the little wizards went to the Quidditch pitch.
If they don't want to watch the duel, then they can't wander in the corridor.
And Elise and Luna are in the castle, what exactly does Casper Crouch want to do.
Just when Xifa cast worried eyes in the direction of the castle.
A group of people on the opposite side surrounded Tom, shouting loudly that Tom must win and Tom is the number one slogan.
Seeing that Tom insisted on responding politely to everyone's warm greetings.
Xifa almost laughed like a goose.
Tom, who hates the name Tom the most, even when people call him Tom, he still smiles with an almost friendly smile.
As expected of Tom, the man who would become the Dark Lord in the future.
Advocates like this will one day exhaust Tom's patience.
