At Peace Again

Eight o'clock in the evening, Room of Requirement.

The door appeared on the wall of Corridor on the seventh floor, and Regulus pushed the door open and went in.

Five people have arrived.

Hermes stood on the far right, leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, with an expression of resignation, but if he looked carefully, he was still a little dissatisfied.

The only person in this small gang who is not lazy is him. He has been beaten so many times and practiced for so long, so he knows that he has made progress.

He accepted his fate because he knew that no matter how much progress he made, Regulus would be able to knock him down.

He was dissatisfied because he had indeed made progress, and also because he was full, and the roasted meat and fried eggs in his stomach were providing energy.

Alex is standing in the center left of the room, with a fairly stable expression, but he is also standing further back, and the straight-line distance is farther than Hermes.

Avery stood next to Alex, the smile on his face has been hanging from the dinner until now, and he is in high spirits.

Lina and Samuel stand at the back, closest to the door.

Lina leaned towards Alex unconsciously, and Samuel stood next to her, with his hands in the pockets of his robe, and his eyes moved back and forth between Hermes and Alex.

Regulus stood opposite them, Baruk lay on his shoulder, the spider's head turned from left to right, its eight eyes looked at them one by one, its chelicerae opened and closed, and clicked.

"It's been more than a week since I came back," he glanced at the five people slowly. "No one has come to see me."

The five people looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions and said nothing.

"What you have practiced, to what extent you have practiced, whether you have been lazy or not, there is not a single word." Regulus's tone was not harsh, but it was somewhat incriminating.

Hermes The corners of his mouth twitched, and he silently turned his face to the wall. Alex looked down at the floor.

Avery was already smiling a little reluctantly. Regulus sounded like he was looking for trouble. He didn't know what happened. He was feeling unhappy at the moment and wanted to take it out on them.

Lina bit his lower lip, his eyes widened, and touched Samuel with his elbow. Samuel stepped aside to prevent her from touching him. The expression on his face was nervous and helpless.

Regulus looked at Hermes. Hermes turned her face away from the wall and met his gaze. Her left eye was guilty and her right eye was stubborn.

He knew he was the first, stood up straight, and walked forward from the base of the wall.

Regulus looked at Hermes's resigned but unyielding face.

After this guy saw the transformation of Baruk in Forbidden Forest, he wanted him to do it too and put something into his body, Salamander or Bowtruckle or something else.

Want to be transformed, want to become stronger.

After being transformed by an external force, are you still yourself?

Bellatrix was transformed, turned into another person, and became the work of Voldemort.

Hermes wants the same thing, he doesn't know what that means.

"Hermes."

Hermes's Adam's apple rolls up and down.

Regulus's eyes changed from casual evil to pure danger.

Hermes's scalp exploded, and his scalp felt numb, running up from his tailbone to the back of his head.

He immediately pulled out his wand and assumed a defensive posture, lowering his body weight and lifting his heels slightly off the ground.

A shot of Piercing Curse flew past Hermes's ear, so fast that he hadn't even finished taking a complete breath.

Only then did he tilt his head subconsciously, trying to avoid the blow just now, when the second shot Slowing Charm hit the floor in front of his feet. The wooden board exploded into a small piece of debris, and the impact pushed him back a few steps.

Hermes took advantage of the situation and dodged to the side, and at the same time Stunning Spell fired back.

Regulus stepped aside and did not move. He only turned his waist. The spell passed by his ear and hit the wall behind him, splashing Mars.

Hermes followed by the second shot. "Expelliarmus!"

Regulus waved the wand, and Disarming Charm was bounced away. He pressed the wand downwards, and the wooden board under Hermes's feet suddenly bulged, pushing his whole body upward.

Hermes used the force to roll back. When he landed, he supported his left hand on the ground. The wand in his right hand had been re-aligned in the direction of Regulus, Reducto.

The white beam hit Regulus's chest, the speed was fast enough, the connection was accurate enough, and the trajectory was clean enough.

A small diamond-shaped shield formed out of thin air half a foot in front of Regulus. Reducto hit it and exploded, with fragments flying in both directions.

Regulus nodded with satisfaction. "There is progress."

Then the wand was flicked, and Flame Whip was thrown out from the tip of the wand, drawing an orange-red arc in the air, and the tip of the whip exploded with a snap.

Hermes's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed to the side. Flame Whip brushed his back and swept over him, the hem of his robe was burnt black.

He got up from the ground, and before he could raise his wand, Regulus's next spell hit him in the chest.

The wand flew out of his hand and rolled to the wall. Hermes looked down at his empty right hand, then looked up at Regulus.

A Pressure Charm hit, Hermes's knees softened, and he was pressed to the floor. He was holding on to the ground with both hands, and his arms were shaking.

He clenched his teeth tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He held on for about five seconds, but he couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with his face on the ground.

Pressure Charm took it back, he lay on the ground panting, his whole body was in a mess.

The whole journey takes less than half a minute.

The four people next to me watched, and Alex's expression changed from "I knew it was true" to "It's true." Avery looked at it with great interest and clicked his tongue.

Lina's mouth opened wide and his eyes never blinked.

Last time I saw Regulus beating Hermes, she was so frightened that she squatted behind the dummy and covered her head. This time, she didn't cover her head anymore. She quietly moved towards Alex, trying to pull his sleeves.

Samuel remained calm and observed silently.

Then he saw Regulus turning his attention to him, and Lina next to him.

Regulus took Baruk off his shoulder and threw it forward. "Go."

Baruk's eight legs stretched out as soon as they hit the ground, and then began to grow bigger.

From the size of a palm to the size of a kitten to Big Dog to two meters in size, the carapace is unfolded, the dark red bristles stand up, and the russet lines on the joints glow warmly under the light.

The chelicerae extended from both sides of the head, with sharp tips. They opened and closed with a clanging sound, making a dull metallic collision sound as they bounced back and forth in the room. The eight amber eyes locked onto the two wizard cubs in front of them.

Lina's mouth opened and couldn't be closed. He instinctively stepped back, and his back bumped into Samuel's shoulder.

Samuel also stepped back, his face turned pale, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the wand in his hand was raised, but it was shaking violently.

Avery was laughing loudly next to him, slapping his thighs and unable to straighten his back.

Alex also laughed. Both he and Avery were chased by the large Baruk. After being entangled into cocoons, they called out the little spiders one by one. Now it is the turn of others.

He was a little gloating when he saw the reactions of Lina and Samuel.

Hermes lay on the ground, turned to look at Baruk's big body, and then stared at it with burning eyes, wanting.

Baruk rushed out at an astonishing speed.

Halfway through, he ejected to the left, kicked off his eight legs at the same time, turned his body in the air, and landed on the wall on the right side of Lina. His claws dug into the grooves of the stone wall, and his body was pressed sideways against the wall.

Running head-on is just ferocious, but running on the wall is a bit scary.

Lina screamed and turned around to run away.

Baruk didn't chase her, but bounced off the wall and shot out a cloud of spider silk, flying straight towards Samuel's wand.

Samuel dodged sideways, and Baruk's second spider web was already waiting in the direction of his side, and stuck to his left knee. With a sudden tug, Samuel lost his center of gravity, tilted his body to the left, and held up the wand in his right hand, trying to aim at Baruk.

Lina moved his hand at this moment, and Slowing Charm shot from the side, hitting Baruk on the side.

Baruk's body shook symbolically, and its chelicerae turned to Lina.

"Run!" Lina dragged Samuel and ran back. After a few steps, Baruk ejected from the floor to the ceiling, hung upside down over their heads, and landed directly in front of them, blocking the way.

Samuel and Lina stopped at the same time.

"Left!" Samuel reminded loudly.

Lina ran to the left, Samuel ran to the right, and the two of them opened a distance, leaving Baruk to chase only one.

Baruk's spider head turned back and forth between the two people, and then rushed directly towards Samuel, so fast that he was knocked to the ground as soon as he raised his wand.

The spider silk started to wrap around his shoulders, wrapping him tightly in two or two times, and then Baruk turned around to chase Lina.

Lina ran a little longer than Samuel, went around behind Training Dummy, used the dummy as a cover, and shot Reducto from behind.

Baruk didn't even try to dodge, Reducto hit its back and exploded a few strands of Spark Spell.

It bounced over the dummy, and a cloud of spider silk entangled Lina's legs. With a slight tug, Lina fell to the floor on his back.

Baruk dragged the two people together, placed them in the corner, and then circled around them.

While turning, it sprayed spider silk, entangling the two of them tightly. The spider's head was held high, and its claws made a long series of clicking sounds.

It stretched out its front legs and poked Samuel's shoulder, and then poked Lina's wand. Then it lay down, resting its spider head on its front legs, and looked at the two people from top to bottom with its eight amber eyes.

The top two main eyes, the left eye is proud and the right eye is arrogant.

Lina struggled in the spider silk and found that he couldn't break free. Samuel was wrapped so tightly that only his head could move.

Regulus stood in the center of the room and watched, feeling a little better.

After finishing Hermes, watching Baruk finishing Lina and Samuel, my mood changed from uncomfortable to okay.

He turned to Alex and Avery: "Come on, you two."

Alex and Avery looked at each other. Alex pulled out the wand. Avery was faster than him and already had the wand in his hand.

Two people stand in diagonal positions, Alex is in the front left, and Avery is in the back right, and then they both take action at the same time.

Reducto shot out from the back right, and the white beam flew straight to Regulus's shoulder.

Regulus didn't look back, but turned slightly to give way. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the red light of Disarming Charm on the tip of Alex's staff, waiting for the moment he dodged the landing point.

Regulus took a step back, Avery's second spell was already waiting at that location, Petrifying Spell.

The rhythm of the two people's cooperation has obviously improved, with prediction and division of labor. Alex is calm and controls the rhythm, while Avery is aggressive and responsible for pressing. I guess they were trained with Hermes.

Alex's Disarming Charm took action at the perfect time, getting stuck at the moment when Regulus had just dodged Avery Petrifying Spell.

Regulus There was a small diamond-shaped shield in front of him, and the red light hit it and exploded.

At the same time, Avery rushed in from the right, and Reducto fired continuously. Each shot forced Regulus to move in the direction preset by Alex.

Alex has gone around to the side, the wand goes down a little, the wooden floor under Regulus becomes sticky, Softening Charm.

Regulus looked down, then stepped on it, and the wooden floor solidified again under his feet.

Alex was stunned for a moment, and in such a stunned moment, Regulus's Slowing Charm crashed directly into it.

A lavender impact spread out from the tip of the staff and hit Alex and Avery at the same time.

The two people flew backwards and fell onto the soft cushions on the Room of Requirement wall. They bounced and slid to the ground.

Regulus looked at them and said in a casual tone, "There is progress, it's not bad."

The scene calmed down, and the five people were scattered in different positions of Room of Requirement. Hermes had changed from lying down to sitting, with his back against the wall, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Lina and Samuel were still fighting with the spider silk in the corner. Lina broke one hand out of the spider silk and was helping Samuel pull out an arm.

Alex stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his robe. Avery was rubbing his buttocks and grinning.

Regulus walked to Hermes: "There is progress, continue next week."

Hermes raised his head and glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Regulus looked around and left one sentence. "Practice by yourself."

Then he turned around and walked towards his Private Cabin.
