Face to face? Is this 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 slowly turned around.
"Tom, I changed my mind and I want to fight you!"
"Tell me the time, place and bet 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, this is telling myself that if he is about to defeat himself, will he be able to become a prefect?
By the way, Tom, what do you mean?
Deliberately let Cassandra hear your news, so that Cassandra can 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 are constantly 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 is spying on Cassandra, thereby making himself angry and agreeing to a duel with him.
To be honest, this incident really made me want to beat Tom up.
No, with such a mentality, you have fallen into Tom's trap.
Tom must have mastered some powerful magic, or he thought 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 won. 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. I was just talking nonsense about the undead."
"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 castle in the outer courtyard.
Xifa reached the top of the stairs, went up another level, 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 corridor where Jack's accident occurred.
portrait...
The only portrait on this floor is the dark wind portrait.
A man in a black cloak was dragging a ragged man...
Xifa's pupils narrowed slightly.
The ragged man disappeared.
The person in the black cloak now is a skeleton!
That projection of Jack...
After inspection, it was found that the nature of Jack's projection had not changed.
Is it a coincidence? Or is there something new that I didn't notice?
"It is common for portrait scenes to change drastically. For magic paintings, only the protagonists 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.
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, officials from the Ministry of Magic will 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 are the officials from the Ministry of Magic to manage the little wizards performing magic outside the school. As long as it does not cause a big commotion in the rear...
Forget it, wait a moment, maybe the answer will be revealed after the duel!
After all, Tom hid a piece of information from himself.
——————
Changes in the war situation outside and the departure of Hogwarts professors inside.
It casts a shadow in the hearts of every little wizard at Hogwarts.
However, today, they happily gathered their friends and headed to the Quidditch pitch.
Because news of the duel between Westphalia and Tom spread throughout Hogwarts.
Before entering, ‘Elise’ arranged the clothes for Xifa.
"Are they two okay?"
"No problem. The two of them join forces. If I don't use the second magic source, it will be difficult to defeat them."
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, guarded the 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 Charm to avoid the surveillance of the portrait.
Unless he learns a powerful Confusion Spell. A powerful Confusion Spell that can confuse the tool men 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 own inspection.
But today during the day, it was Abraxas Malfoy who proposed that Tom challenge him to a duel.
But it's also possible that Casper Crouch let Abraxas Malfoy free 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.
As for Elise and Luna, what on earth does Casper Crouch want to do in the castle?
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.
I saw 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 will become the Dark Lord in the future.
Such supporters will one day wear down Tom's patience.
