"Kaba!" Professor Luping knocked on the large water tank next to him, which seemed to wake up some kind of creature inside. It started to stir up inside, stirring up a large amount of sludge at the bottom of the tank. The originally yellow water was now even more...
It's turbid.
However, the sharp-eyed little wizard still saw a scaly claw flash past the edge of the glass.
"Have any students previewed the textbook in advance and know what kind of animal Kappa is?" Professor Lu Ping asked a question and waited expectantly for the little wizards to answer.
Sure enough, Hermione raised her hand.
"Very well, Miss Granger, please come and introduce Cabba to everyone." Seeing that the other students had no intention of answering, Lupine nodded at Hermione.
Many times, Hermione is the only student who answers questions in class. With her positive answers day after day and year after year, others have become accustomed to this way of attending class. Sometimes even if other students know the answer to the question,
I would also subconsciously ask Hermione to answer.
"Kabbah is a Japanese water monster that mainly sucks human blood. They will attack unsuspecting people wading through the pond and strangle them to death." Hermione memorized the description of Kabbah from the textbook.
Come out, word for word.
"That's absolutely correct, Miss Granger, but I'm going to give you an additional expansion question that's not in the textbook. Where is Kabbah the most common place? Other students who know can also answer it." Professor Lupine was satisfied with Hermione's answer.
But not completely satisfied.
He always felt that Hermione memorized things by rote and was not very flexible, so he planned to give Hermione an expansion question to expand her thinking.
This question stopped Hermione: Where is Kabbah most common? It must be Japan! Didn't you see in the textbook that Kabbah originated in Japan?
What bothered Hermione was that this question seemed too simple, and it made her have some doubts.
However, other students in the class could not understand Hermione's doubts, and several young wizards became eager to try. They thought in their hearts: If Granger doesn't answer, they will go up to answer the question. This question will most likely lead to...
Come to the academy to get extra points.
For the little wizards at Hogwarts, the extra points from the academy are quite tempting. The "Buddhist" guys like Tom are a different kind. You know, most of the little wizards still don't care about those points when they reach seventh grade.
The college is very careful about everything.
"Japan?" Hermione said with some uncertainty.
Amid everyone's surprised looks, Professor Lu Ping shook his head.
"The most common place for Kappa is not Japan - but Mongolia. In fact, in those densely populated countries and regions, the number of wild magical animals is almost negligible." Professor Lu Ping patiently told the confused little wizards
Explaining.
“For wild Kappa to exist in a place, it must meet the following requirements: there are small rivers, swamps, and a large area with sparsely populated areas but not completely deserted. Therefore, in the end, Mongolia was the most common place for Kappa.”
Hermione:o(?Д?)っ!
She hurriedly sat down and wrote down the knowledge she just heard in her notebook.
"Actually, the existence of magical animals has always been a challenge to the Statute of Secrecy. If you have time, you can consult Professor Scamander and ask him how much trouble magical animals have brought to wizards."
The law of secrecy can restrict wizards, but it cannot restrict countless magical animals. It is simpler to set aside a "protected area" for them to strictly guard large animals like fire dragons, but those small animals-such as sniffers
, it becomes difficult to control.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business. Today I'm going to teach you how to deal with Kappa." Professor Lupine took out his wand, turned around, and looked at the blackboard behind him.
"Fortunately, the layout hasn't changed yet." He muttered in a very low voice, and then he tapped the four corners of the blackboard with the tip of his wand.
Something magical happened: the blackboard cracked. The split blackboard slid to both ends of the classroom, revealing an empty classroom.
The little wizards present were all sure that they had never seen this classroom before. Different from other abandoned classrooms in the castle, there was not a single table or chair in this classroom, and it was clean as if it had just been renovated.
Same.
"Swamp." Lupine said to the empty classroom. The changes in the classroom at the next moment were beyond the imagination of all the little wizards: the floor of the classroom began to twist, and mud, water, and moss came out bit by bit, eventually covering the entire room.
The floor of the classroom is completely covered. The walls of the classroom are also covered with vines, exactly like a real swamp.
It's like someone dug up a piece of swamp somewhere and pasted it into Hogwarts.
This magical classroom was accidentally discovered by Lu Ping when he was in school. It can change the terrain at will. The only drawback is that this classroom is a bit small...
But it is enough as a teaching venue. With such a venue, Lu Ping can freely teach. Lu Ping has always believed that the only way to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts is through practical teaching.
So he tried his best to find Boggart, so he prepared a swamp, a Kabbah, and countless "teaching materials"...
Kabbah is actually not a very strong magical animal - it only has a three-star rating, and it is a magical animal that a capable wizard can deal with. However, it usually chooses to sneak attack the enemy, and can still cause some damage without knowing it.
Troublesome.
For a third-grade little wizard, this kind of intensity training is just right.
"Kabbah looks a bit like a monkey, but a little more disgusting - because of those scales. Kabbah is not very friendly to humans. It will try to strangle those who are unprepared when they wade through the pond..." Although Hermione
Having already answered this question, Professor Luping still introduced Kabbah seriously.
After that, he told a few more tips on how to deal with Kabbah, which fascinated the little wizards.
"If you throw a cucumber with your name on it at Kabbah, Kabbah may not attack this person..."
"There is a hollow filled with water on the top of its head, and the water inside can provide energy for this creature. If Kaba is tricked into bowing, the water in the hollow above its head will flow out, and it will lose its power..."
The interest of the little wizards was successfully aroused in this way. No need to emphasize it, copying, the knowledge about Kabbah was memorized in the minds of the little wizards.
Professor Lupine opened the lid of the water tank. The next second, a monkey covered in scales and with webbed hands jumped out of the water tank and jumped into the swamp.
"Does anyone want to try to deal with this Kappa? Don't worry, I'm right behind you and I will definitely ensure your safety." Professor Lu Ping glanced at the students present, but he was a little disappointed to find that everyone's
Not very interested.
The reason is also very simple. The Kaaba has now hidden in the swamp. If you fight with it, you will definitely be covered in mud and water. No one wants to become wet and smelly.
"Is there no one?" Lupine asked again, but still found no volunteers, "Then I can only name them - Yoder, come and show us how to do it."
Tom:……
He didn't want to go into the swamp! But after being selected, he had no room to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and walked into the swamp behind the blackboard.
The land at the edge of the swamp is still mud, but after taking two steps forward, there are puddles one after another. There is a layer of phytoplankton floating on the surface of the puddles. Under the plants is stagnant water that has not been replaced for an unknown period of time. At the bottom of the water
It's bottomless mud...
Tom didn't want to take another step forward. He had a premonition that if he took any further steps, sooner or later he would fall into mud enough to submerge his calves.
"Damn Kabbah, why haven't you shown up yet!" Tom was in a dilemma. After taking two deep breaths, he made up his mind, stepped forward, and really went deep into the swamp.
He could feel the water covering his shoes, soaking his trouser legs, and a cold feeling coming from his calves.
After going deeper, the water reached the waist. At this time, every step forward required a lot of effort.
Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation from the classmates. Without thinking, Tom punched behind him. He felt as if his fist hit a fish, and there was a "pop" sound.
Tom turned around and saw a strange creature standing not far away with its face covered and grinning at him.
"Disgusting!" was Tom's first impression of this guy. Think about it, a monkey with scales...
The Kaaba was not eager to fight, but was trying to escape.
"It fell unconscious!" How could Tom let it go? He hit it with a stun spell on its back, knocking it unconscious.
Tom easily solved Kabbah and walked out of the swamp.
"The response is very fast!" Professor Lupine walked up to Tom with a plate of chocolate, first cleaned the water stains and mud on his body, and then broke off a large piece of chocolate for him. After doing this, he also
He woke up the knocked out Kabbah and watched him escape into the swamp.
"You should all have seen," Professor Lupine said loudly after Tom was sent back to his seat, "Kabbah is not very courageous. When Yodel faced it, it lost the courage to fight..."
"Professor, what if you failed to dodge its sneak attack?" Megan Jones of Hufflepuff asked this question. She believed that Tom's success was due to his lightning reflexes. She just saw it clearly.
It was clear that Tom's fist moved almost as soon as the Kaaba jumped out of the water.
To be fair, she didn't think she had such a fast reaction speed. If she had gone up by herself, there would be a high probability that she would be grabbed by the neck and dragged into the muddy water, right?
"Good question." Professor Lu Ping felt a little better when he saw a student asking a question. "I'll show you how to deal with it."
Because Kabbah has to choke his neck, this demonstration is a bit dangerous, and Professor Lupine plans to go into battle himself.
He walked into the swamp. Soon, a monkey head appeared behind him and followed him for a few meters. Lupine seemed unaware and just walked on his own.
Kaba followed for a few steps and felt that the time was ripe, so he jumped out of the water and grabbed Professor Lupine's throat with both hands.
It’s done! Kaba was ecstatic.
The students exclaimed in unison, and several young wizards stood up subconsciously.
This Kabbah was so powerful that it almost pulled Professor Lupine down when he put his hands around his neck. However, Professor Lupine was well prepared, and Kabbah's charged attack only made him stagger.
He pulled out his wand as quickly as possible and pointed the tip of the wand at the fingers on his neck.
"Use all your strength to let go!"
Kaba's fingers involuntarily let go of Lupine's neck, and it slipped weakly from Lupine's body, fell into the swamp, and was then tied up by the rope conjured by Lupine.
"A simple little spell can help us get out of trouble. The most important thing is to stay calm." Amid the applause of the little wizard, Professor Lu Ping calmly explained to the students the measures he had just taken.
"However, the method just now is still very dangerous. If it were stronger, I might be dragged into the water by it. Or, my curse might accidentally hit my own neck, which would be even worse.
It’s over.”
"So children, you must be more vigilant in places like swamps. The best response is to find Kappa and scare them away or knock them out."
After the demonstrations by Tom and himself, Professor Lupine felt that the students should be able to deal with Kabbah. So he motioned the little wizards in the audience to walk into the swamp one by one to confront Kabbah.
However, he found that his judgment seemed to be wrong, and the little wizards were more fragile than he thought.
After several young wizards walked into the swamp, they shrank like frightened quails. Their whole bodies were stiff and they didn't dare to move. With just one pounce, Kabbah could knock them down and drag them into the swamp.
In the water.
At this point, it was basically hopeless. Lu Ping could only smile bitterly and take action himself, rescued the little wizards, helped them clean their clothes, and spit out the sewage they drank.
"This reaction is not good," Tom complained to his classmates while sitting in his seat, eating chocolate, "They really need some practical training."
The students of Hogwarts are no match for Kabbah. This is outrageous. I even tried to teach them practical lessons last year, but it had no effect at all?
"Hermione Granger!"
Just as she was talking, Hermione was called up by Professor Lupin.
"Come on!" With Professor Lupin's encouraging eyes, Hermione walked into the swamp.
After she had walked a few steps, several bells suddenly sounded from the water below her. Hermione suddenly became alert. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movements nearby.
She noticed something unusual: there was the sound of water coming from behind!
She turned around directly, and a floating spell shot out from the tip of her staff, hitting Kaba's body and trapping it in mid-air.
Kaba struggled hard, lost his balance, and was hung with his head down. At this time, the water in the hole above his head flowed out.
The current took away its physical strength, making it weak and eventually passed out.
