Barrier Talisman

Smoke and dust filled the air, accompanied by deafening roars.

Each roar was like a hammer blow striking Penelope's heart.

Honestly, Penelope has never seen anything like this before in her life.

After all, Hogwarts doesn't have Duelling Club, and even Curses practice is usually done in the classroom.

Not to mention, the scene before us has clearly gone beyond the scope of an ordinary duel.

In contrast, Hermione was much calmer.

After all, she sees these kinds of "small scenes" every day and is already used to them.

"Bell! Why are you stopping me? Go and stop Shanna!"

Penelope placed her hand on the semi-transparent barrier in front of her, looking at Bell with a puzzled expression.

She had just taken a step forward when the barrier suddenly appeared in front of her. Judging from the magical fluctuations emanating from the barrier, the culprit was clearly the bastard Gege behind her who had corrupted his sister.

Completely unaware that he had become a "jerk Gege" in Penelope's eyes, Bell smiled slightly and said lazily:

"What's the rush? Let Shanna go play for a while."

Bell never misses an opportunity to train Shanna's combat skills.

To be honest, he is actually quite dissatisfied right now.

Even if you exclude the youngest member, Ginny, and the weakest member, Ron, there are still seven Weasley family left.

As a result, the unreliable twins stood by watching the spectacle, while Arthur and one of his sons stood together whispering amongst themselves. The long-haired Weasley was also dawdling and half-heartedly going through the motions. Only Mrs. Weasley Percy remained seriously engaged in combat.

Mrs. Weasley was quite powerful; her Curses effectively slowed down Mad Bear's progress. Percy, who had just graduated, was a step behind, only good enough to tickle Mad Bear.

This level of playful banter is unlikely to have any training effect on Shanna at her current level.

Yes, what Penelope sees as a fierce battle comparable to the Battle of the Century is nothing more than a game to Bell.

Otherwise, with his instructions in place, Shanna wouldn't have released the Mad Bear so easily.

In battle, to avoid becoming dependent on the Mad Bear, it is the last resort.

When playing, Mad Bear is just a somewhat special plush toy, the kind you throw out and play with whenever you want.

He rubbed his chin, Bell hesitated, wondering if he should step in and make things more difficult for Shanna.

But Shanna knew him too well. If he made a move in the shadows, it would be difficult for Shanna not to notice. He couldn't think of a way to deceive his sister's keen senses.

"Bell! If Shanna keeps causing trouble like this, not to mention the possibility of her getting hurt, if the Ministry of Magic comes, Shanna will definitely be arrested."

Penelope looked anxiously at Bell, who seemed lost in thought.

What kind of time is this? How can Bell still be leisurely contemplating problems? Can't he have any sense of crisis?!

"Don't worry, it won't attract the Auror from the Ministry of Magic."

Bell waved his hand and said casually.

"Why?"

Hermione looked at her boyfriend with curiosity.

Unlike Penelope, Hermione, who was more familiar with and trusted Bell, gradually calmed down after a while, seeing Bell remain so calm and composed.

After all, no one knows better than Bell's girlfriend how much her boyfriend cherishes his sister.

So now Hermione is simply curious: what makes Bell so sure?

"Haven't you noticed that after all this time, not a single outsider has come to see what's going on?"

"!?" *2

Hermione and Penelope were startled upon hearing this.

Having been completely absorbed in Shanna's battle, they hadn't had a chance to take a look at their surroundings.

Looking around, it was clear that apart from the few people present, there wasn't a single outsider in sight.

You should know that there are about 100,000 wizards in this woodland today.

Even though this woodland was specially selected by the Ministry of Magic, it still felt somewhat crowded.

While it's not quite at the level of killing several wizards by simply throwing a Wand with your eyes closed, it's certainly impossible to create such a commotion and still not attract a single wizard.

Seeing that Hermione and the other girl had finally noticed the unusual situation around them, Bell smiled slightly and gently tapped the large tree next to him.

"Furthermore, didn't you notice the small gap between the start of the battle and the time Shanna left?"

It's worth noting that after Shanna left, Bell and Hermione chatted for a bit, which took up some time.

Even if it's only a short time of 2 or 3 minutes, the battle shouldn't have just begun after they arrived.

After all, under Bell's tutelage, Shanna did not develop the "good" habit of giving a 10-minute talk show before a fight.

Simply say a couple of lines to start the battle; it won't take more than a few seconds.

"The answers are all here."

A flash of azure magical light appeared and disappeared in an instant. Under Bell's control of the Transfiguration, a crack appeared on the trunk of the tree, splitting open to both sides like an open window.

As the tree trunk split open, a piece of parchment the size of a palm, covered with mysterious runes painted in red, appeared before Hermione and the other woman's eyes.

"What's this?"

Hermione and her companion stared in astonishment at the Talisman placed in the center of the tree trunk, its red light flashing intermittently.

They were completely unaware that such a strange-looking thing had been placed so close to them!

Wait a minute! Did Shanna put this here? Won't it explode?!

Over time, Hermione and Shanna came to a clear understanding of Shanna's unusual fascination with explosions.

"This is Barrier Talisman, a type of China Talisman, which can be used to quickly set up large barriers."

Its advantages are that it is easy, quick, and discreet to set up.

The drawback is its complexity in construction, and Talisman lack of protection until the barrier is fully in place. Once detected, it can be easily destroyed.

Looking at the Barrier Talisman before him, Bell was very satisfied.

Shanna remembered to set up a barrier before playing, and the choice of nodes took into account both concealment and effectiveness, which made Bell very pleased.

"My little sister has really grown up; she can stand on her own now."

Of course, that's what he thought, but Bell couldn't possibly let his younger sister face danger alone.

Hearing Bell's explanation, Hermione and Penelope exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Hermione turned around and kicked Bell hard in the shin.

After kicking the first time, he immediately kicked the second time.

The second kick was for Penelope.

"So why didn't you say so sooner!"
