The light of a spell flew past, and Aaron took a step forward, raising his sword.
There was just a 'puff' sound, like the sound of piercing leather. Aaron 'flipped' the spell, and he suddenly rushed forward, pointing a sword at Snape's eyebrows.
The reason why Muggle dueling is worth learning for wizards is because with magic protection, a well-trained wizard can deflect the opponent's spell even with ordinary weapons.
Thousands of years ago, Godric Gryffindor was a master of this. Back then, with a magic wand in one hand and a sharp sword in the other, he crushed people all the way from Ireland to England, killing them until no one in the world dared to respect him!
"There are many obstacles!"
A burst of blue-green sparks flashed, and Aaron felt as if his body was stuck in a quagmire, and his movements immediately slowed down.
"Expelliarmus!"
A ray of red light came quickly, and Aaron changed his steps, taking dangerous risks, and dodged sideways.
He struggled to break away - as if the hard ice was broken through, Aaron's figure ran like lightning, and everyone saw a cold light flash past, and then -
"when!"
The sword vibrated slightly - it hit the iron armor spell cast by Snape. Aaron turned his wrist, his footwork was nimble, and in the blink of an eye he thrust out another sword.
However, this time Snape left him no chance.
"Boohoo!"
Snape exploded with all his strength, waved his wand steadily and quickly, and shot dozens of curses at Aaron with almost no gaps.
But Aaron turned around and stood up. The long sword danced in the air in a circle of cold light, and a series of crackling sounds were heard. The spell was bounced to the ceiling, and dust fell.
Snape flicked his wand, and the carpet suddenly rolled up, turning into a huge python and attacking Aaron.
Aaron dodged, stepped on the snake's seven inches, and swung his sword to kill it.
However, this python is completely different from ordinary snakes. Its long tail suddenly sweeps away with great force. Aaron defended himself with a horizontal sword, but was forcefully forced to take a few steps back.
"Collapse!"
At this moment, Snape seized the opportunity and suddenly shot out a powerful curse, pointing directly at Aaron's chest!
The python's body was like a strong bow, and it suddenly bounced up and bit Aaron's throat!
Attack from both sides! There is no way back!
In the blink of an eye, Aaron jumped up and swung his long sword like the arc of a half-moon, the blade piercing through the snake's head.
Kill the snake!
The little wizards were all stunned. This scene deeply shocked their young hearts.
It turns out that wizards can still be like this!
The long sword continued to move, and faced the roaring light of the spell.
Only a 'boom' was heard!
The sword edge collided with the light, causing an inexplicable explosion. Smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring the sight of the young wizards.
In the smoke and dust, Aaron's figure flashed past!
The snake corpse fell to the ground!
Shadows intertwined!
In the blink of an eye, everything is revealed!
…
"Tick tock, tick tock."
The smoke gradually dispersed, and two figures were revealed. The young wizards looked up one after another, wanting to know the outcome of this contest.
But he saw Aaron's arms raised flat, his tiger's mouth was shattered, and blood flowed down drop by drop, but the hilt of the sword was still firmly in his hand.
And the sword's edge was hanging in front of Snape's throat!
"Professor Custer wins!"
Ron shook Harry's hand and said excitedly.
"No!" The sharp-eyed little wizard shook his head.
Sure enough, the little wizard soon discovered that the wand in Snape's hand was pointing far away at Aaron's chest.
This distance, this posture, if they want to take action, neither side will be lucky enough.
"snort."
Snape snorted, but said nothing more. He put away his wand, took out a small bottle from his arms and placed it on the edge of his sword.
"You win, Professor Custer."
Aaron smiled, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword immediately turned into a cufflink. He took the medicine bottle and spread the medicine powder on the tiger's mouth.
The effect was immediate and the bleeding stopped immediately.
He said rather modestly: "This game is just a draw."
"You can push me to this level with just a sword and without even using any magic means..."
Snape's eyes flickered, and he said softly in a sigh-like tone: "Castor, you are really unfathomable now."
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
Aaron remained humble.
He also understood that Snape had not tried his best. Not to mention the dark magic that he was best at, his ability to conjure a python alone was enough to prove that Snape also had considerable attainments in transfiguration.
But he only used transformation once in the duel.
You know, Aaron was able to knock down five French Aurors with an umbrella back then, but now with a sword he can only compete with Snape who hides his strength.
It seemed that the youngest professor at Hogwarts before him should not be underestimated.
Down below, the little wizards were completely stunned.
They really didn't expect that this seemingly young Professor Custer would be so strong!
The few moves Aaron made just now, between the rising of the rabbit and the falling of the falcon, were sharp and fast, which simply refreshed the world view of the little wizards.
Without using any magic, relying entirely on strong physical fitness and superb swordsmanship, he was able to fight Snape to a draw.
Professor Custer is so scary!
"The swordsmanship is so cool..."
Neville murmured underneath.
Beside him, Harry, Ron and many other young wizards all agreed. A boy of this age simply couldn't resist a cool and powerful cold weapon!
"Pop!"
A solitary round of applause rang out, and Lockhart quickly stepped onto the stage - he kicked the snake corpse away, and then said loudly:
"Wonderful duel! But I think there are some easily visible flaws in the actions of the two of you just now - of course, this is for me, I happen to know some countermeasures..."
"Professor Lockhart!"
Snape interrupted Lockhart with a slightly raised tone:
"I think the students now want to hear Custer talk about the essentials of Muggle dueling..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
The little wizards in the audience nodded enthusiastically, and Ron swore that this was the most he had ever recognized Snape for.
"Alright alright."
Lockhart forced a smile.
For a moment, all the little wizards' eyes were focused on Aaron, and even Snape cast a cold look.
Aaron was stunned for a moment, but he didn't shirk. He sorted out his thoughts and walked to the middle of the crowd:
"Okay, then I will teach you some experience."
There was a burst of cheers among the little wizards.
"As I said just now, agility, precision, and reflexes are duels, no, they are indispensable abilities for you to deal with any danger."
"Agility requires long-term practice. What you can learn now is to control your own footwork..."
"Precision, you have to be quick and accurate in your shots. This first requires you to be able to concentrate at all times..."
"Reaction, this is the most important thing in my opinion. When encountering danger, your body will often react before your brain..."
…
After explaining the key points, Aaron asked them to remain in their original groups and practice the spells commonly used in duels and when encountering danger.
However, Aaron asked them to use the skills he had just taught in the process.
Aaron patrolled the field, constantly pointing out the mistakes of the little wizards. With him here to control the situation, the order in the auditorium suddenly improved, and the previous messy things no longer happened.
Just when Aaron passed by Neville...
"professor!"
Neville suddenly stopped, looked at Aaron expectantly, and mustered up the courage to say:
"Can you teach me how to use a sword?"
