A few weeks later, inside the Defense Against the Dark Arts offices.

"The ground is freezing and the sky is freezing!"

"Split into pieces!"

…

Amidst the violent roar, Quirrell and John were walking through the small office.

"Expelliarmus!"

Another red light was thrown out by Quirrell.

His attacks were as usual, whether it was release speed, spell flying speed or spell strength, they were far superior to ordinary young wizards, and even most Hogwarts graduates.

This is something that can only be accomplished by practicing hard for a long time and mastering the technique of casting spells quickly.

But when this terrifying red light suddenly pulled in front of John, the wand in John's hand just happened to fall.

"Armor protection!"

"Buzz——"

The phantom of the shield flashed, and the red light bounced back instantly.

Seeing this, Quirrell was shocked, and also used [Armor Protection] to deflect the rebounding spell and guide it to the wall nearby.

The moment the disarming spell touched the wall, a bright red light burst out, illuminating Quirrell's extremely ugly face.

So far, he and John have used their spare time to duel on and off 136 times.

John was completely defeated.

At first, his fight against John was all about teasing and killing.

All kinds of teasing methods were used in endlessly, and when it was over, John would still be ridiculed.

This made Quirrell quite addicted.

But now, Quirrell obviously has no room to do that.

John's progress is so rapid!

Quirrell swore that he had never taught the other party [Armor Protection], and the so-called 'letting John learn in actual combat' was nonsense.

He firmly believed that no one could do such a thing.

Because his casting speed is too fast.

In such a fierce duel, it was impossible to clearly see the movement of his wand and hear the tone of his incantation.

But John really did it.

Over the past few weeks, John's practical experience has grown rapidly.

I also learned [Armor Protection]!

The 'learn' here does not mean simply releasing the magic spell, but learning to apply it in actual combat.

Now, 67 out of 10 of Quirrell's beam-like spell attacks against John will be blocked by John's [Armor Protection].

Occasionally, John can also perform the [Reverse Curse] technique on Quirrell, directly reflecting Quirrell's attacks back.

This frequency is still unqualified for combat wizards or duel wizards who are truly dedicated to fighting.

But John is only in first grade!

And it has only been a few weeks since I actually received actual combat training!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn you little devil!"

Quirrell kept cursing.

The restrictions on him are too great!

The small environment in the office and the [Anti-Apparition Curse] in Hogwarts made it impossible for him to demonstrate his mobility far beyond John's!

Snape's previous warning of death made it impossible for him to cast any highly lethal attack spell on John!

This is so frustrating!

If he can use [Apparition], if he can use [Death Curse]! Even if he can use any destructive spell such as [Shattered to Bones]!

A brat like John can beat ten of them by himself!

And taking advantage of the opportunity when he was complaining in his heart, John directly threw out a [Flying Sand and Rock].

This was the latest spell he had learned from Quirrell and practiced in depth. Its effect was so powerful that John included it in his main attack spells along with the [Cutting Curse].

A ball of sand-colored light shot toward Quirrell at high speed.

Quirrell almost instinctively ducked to the side.

But the sand-colored light was detonated in advance the moment it approached Quirrell.

The horrifying impact carried the gravel and hit him. Upon seeing this, Quirrell raised his wand and quickly drew a circle with himself as the center.

"Protect everything!"

A layer of light blue shield surrounded Quirrell, and all the AOE attacks from [Flying Sand and Stone] were actually blocked.

Of course, the light blue shield that withstood all the damage from [Flying Sand and Rocks] wasn't much better.

After all, it was released in a hurry by Quirrell.

By the time the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, its surface had become riddled with holes and was almost ready to burst.

At this moment, John had regrouped his magic power and waved the wand in his hand vigorously!

"All petrified!"

"laugh--"

The inconspicuous gray light penetrated directly through the broken shield, and appeared in front of Quirrell in an instant.

Quilo's eyes were about to burst as he gritted his teeth and prepared to activate [Armor Protection] again.

However, it's too late.

"Buzz——"

Along with the [Petrifying Curse], it hit Quirrell's chest.

The powerful impact pushed Quirrell staggered.

At the same time, the effect of the curse appeared instantly, turning Quirrell to stone.

John was breathing heavily, his face full of surprise just like Quirrell at this moment.

He actually...really defeated Quirrell?

Although Quirrell has been subject to so many restrictions, he is just a sparring doll.

But the other party is also an outstanding adult wizard who can become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!

This kind of person should not be weak in actual combat!

"Hahahahahaha——"

After reacting, John burst into laughter.

He smiled even more exaggeratedly than Quirrell did when he first started actual combat training.

The whole person laughed and fell to the ground, laughing and beating the ground.

At the same time, Quirrell's heart was filled with deathly silence.

Severe pain was spreading in his brain.

He understood that this was the punishment given to him by his master.

Punish him for losing to a kid like John.

Punishing him would be an embarrassment to Voldemort.

But at this moment, his mood was so low that he couldn't even cry or howl.

He lost.

He lost to a first-year student who had only received actual combat training for less than a few weeks.

'So this is a person with natural talent.'

Quirrell had this idea.

At this moment, he understood.

He understood why his master, the famous Dark Lord, kept calling him a fool.

Obviously Takiro is also an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts-Ravenclaw House.

He is one of the few people who can be hired back to Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But in the eyes of people with real natural talents, his achievements and abilities are simply rubbish, and he himself is a complete idiot.

He accumulated the fruits over time and exhausted all his strength to pick them.

Those geniuses are easily available just by reaching out.

People are born unequal.

A mediocre person like him is just an embellishment of the world.

The real protagonists of this world are geniuses like John Shafiq and Voldemort who are favored by their creator.

The light in Quirrell's eyes gradually dissipated.

After understanding the reality of the world.

He was desperate.

He just stood in the office blankly, his mind going blank, even after John helped him remove the petrification effect.

"Now that the deal has been completed, I think it's time for me to leave. Besides, Professor Quirrell, you are a good teacher."

John said softly, and then left the office carrying a cloth bag filled with [Fireproof Potion].

Flying Sand and Rocks, Illusion Body Spell, Armor Protection, Blessing Elixir, Golden Galleons and actual combat experience.

He gained so much from Quirrell.

The gold mine of Chilo has been almost hollowed out by him.

Now, all that is left is the fire dragon egg that Quirrell gave to Hagrid a few days ago.

Thinking this, John suddenly stopped in the corridor.

He looked out the window and happened to see Hagrid running towards the hut with a few books in his arms.

This made the smile on John's face even brighter.
Chapter completed!
