Is the Shield Charm Really That Hard?

"Ouch!"

Fina rubbed her nose, looked up and glanced around in confusion.

As a Bi'an, Fina would certainly not catch a cold.

Although it is still in its infancy, it has already awakened the magical talent of breathing fire a few days ago.

Even the most potent flu virus cannot withstand the scorching heat of magical flames.

Finding nothing amiss, Little Fina lay back down.

It wagged its tail contentedly. It seemed its fur had become much softer and shinier lately, probably because its owner hadn't been petting it.

Honestly, it's complained to its owner so many times already. It's still so small; its fur is so easy to pluck out.

But while the owner readily agreed verbally, his hands never stopped moving.

Just as Bell was missing his pet, he was surprised to find that Snape was also on stage.

Wait! Why are they both taking out Wand? Is Lockhart planning to duel Snape?

Unlike Hermione, whose face was flushed with excitement, Bell was utterly speechless.

So, did Lockhart lose his mind from looking in the mirror? Surely no one actually thinks they're handsome?

Although Lockhart is indeed quite handsome.

As expected, Lockhart was swiftly and decisively defeated by Snape after a series of flashy performances.

A precise and swift Disarming Charm sent Lockhart flying.

It seems that Snape had been harboring considerable resentment towards Lockhart.

For 'rule-based' Curses like the Disarming Charm, physical damage is generally negligible.

As a result, Lockhart was sent flying nearly 10 meters away. This shows how much magic Snape had expended.

"No! Is Professor Lockhart alright!?"

Hermione was extremely worried.

"Who knows? He probably won't die."

Bell believed that Snape wouldn't go so far as to kill Lockhart in public.

And most importantly, can the Disarming Charm really kill people?

Bell thought that even if Voldemort exhausted all his magic, he might not be able to use the Disarming Charm to kill an ordinary adult wizard.

Muggle and children are another matter.

It took Lockhart quite a while to make it back to the center ring.

By this time, he had completely lost the dashing and debonair air he had at the beginning. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and he looked utterly pathetic.

However, all of this was his own doing. Why did he have to pick on the only former Death Eater at Hogwarts?

Finally, the group battles began.

Bell, who had been waiting impatiently, led Hermione to a corner of the Great Hall to prepare for tonight's extracurricular lesson.

As for Harry and Malfoy, who were facing off on the stage?

He had no interest in watching two little brats fight.

"Hermione, attack me, any Curses will do."

Bell walked to a spot about 10 meters away from Hermione, turned around, and looked at her.

Because there were many people around, and to avoid trouble, Bell took out his Wand anyway.

"Expelliarmus!"

A beam of red light shot out from the tip of Hermione's Wand, heading straight for Bell's leg.

Bell made no move, and just as Hermione's Disarming Charm was about to hit him, a semi-transparent shield suddenly enveloped him.

A dazzling red light flashed, and Hermione felt her eyes blurring.

Just now, her Disarming Charm was deflected by Bell's Shield Charm, flying past her hair.

"Hermione, don't be afraid, I won't let the rebounding Curses hit you."

Seeing Hermione trembling, Bell offered words of comfort.

"And have you forgotten? You're wearing Shield Charm charm, so even if Curses hits you, it will be blocked."

Hermione's face regained some color after hearing Bell's words of comfort.

Although she had dealt with Cornish Pixies before, this was truly the first time she had faced Curses coming straight at her. The two experiences were completely different.

If Hermione felt fear when faced with the Cornish Pixies, their faces contorted in a menacing rage as they charged at him with a roar, then...

So when faced with the oncoming Curses, she couldn't even feel fear; her mind went completely blank.

Once Hermione had calmed down, Bell continued his teaching.

"And I remember telling you that the first thing a wizard does in battle is to put a shield on himself."

"But I don't know the Shield Charm yet."

Hermione said, feeling wronged.

"Huh!? You still don't know how!?"

Faced with Bell's shocked question, Hermione felt a tickle in her teeth again.

If she remembered correctly, Bell had told her to put on a shield before fighting during the first Defense Against the Dark Arts of the school year.

In other words, it happened three months ago.

Let's not even talk about whether she can master the Shield Charm, such a difficult Curses, in just three months.

With so many things happening in these three months, she hasn't had time to learn anything about "shielding"!

It's unclear whether Bell genuinely thought the Shield Charm was simple, the kind of Curses you could learn in a second. Or was he just joking?

In short, Hermione wanted to bite him no matter which one it was!

"Cough cough~"

Seeing that Hermione was about to transform into a wolf and pounce on him, Bell quickly turned the page.

"It's alright if you don't know the Shield Charm, I'll be careful. So let's continue."

Before Hermione could reply, Bell raised his Wand, and a beam of red light shot towards Hermione.

Seeing the incoming Curses, Hermione swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue. She dodged to her right and rolled away, avoiding Bell's Curses.

Bell watched Hermione, who had failed to tumble and was now sprawled on the ground, speechless.

Who knew Hermione was actually a disciple of "The Elder Scrolls"?

To the fact that his girlfriend possessed such a terrifying inheritance, all Bell could say was, "This girl is terrifying indeed."

Hermione, are you alright?

Seeing Hermione struggling to get up from the ground, grimacing and rubbing her elbow, Bell asked with concern.

His "Curses" just now, although it looked like Disarming Charm in terms of light effects, was actually just an ordinary red light.

Even if you get hit, it will only leave a fluorescent mark on your body and won't cause you any damage whatsoever.

As a result, before this "enemy" has even caused Hermione any harm, Hermione has already struck herself first?

Although Bell knew it was wrong—his girlfriend had just fallen and he should be feeling sorry for her—why couldn't he stop laughing?
