"Look, there's a light there!" After getting rid of the red hat, Hermione and Padma walked around in circles several times and finally saw a glimmer of light.
After confirming again and again that this was not some hinkpunk bait, the two of them quickened their pace and ran towards the bright light. The light gradually expanded, and finally the two of them recognized that it was a cave that could be drilled out by one person.
Hermione and Padma walked faster and faster, falling into a mud puddle from time to time, but this did not stop them from moving forward until-
"Ah!" Padma screamed, covering her ankles and falling to the side.
Hermione stopped immediately, placed an Iron Armor Charm around her, and then stepped forward to check on Padma.
Padma had already torn off a piece of wood from her ankle, and a large pool of blood quickly spewed from her ankle, soaking her stockings.
Both of them recognized the culprit: the swamp digger. This is an animal that lives in swamp areas in Europe and America. When it is still, it looks like a piece of wood, but if you look closely, you will find that it actually has claws, and there are
Fins - This structure allows it to glide in swamps. Its extremely sharp teeth can help it hunt small mammals and can also cause serious damage to pedestrians' ankles.
This kind of magical animal is not difficult to deal with, but it is actually classified as a magical animal of 3X level by the magic department, which is the same level as the Voldebat. The red hat that just tried to attack Hermione is 4X, which is the same level as the phoenix.
The classification of magical animals in the wizarding world is indeed somewhat rigid. 4X is dangerous and requires skilled wizards with specialized knowledge to deal with the animals, while 3X means capable wizards can deal with it. If the danger is judged based on the X level, then that is
Seeking death. In the wild, encountering a bat is much more dangerous than meeting a phoenix.
Swamp digging causes little harm, but if not handled properly, it can easily cause wound infection, especially in an environment like a swamp.
Of course, none of this is a problem for wizards.
"Healed as before!" Hermione pointed her wand at Padma's ankle, and with a tap, the wound on her ankle healed.
"Be careful, I feel like we're almost at the final level." Hermione said after estimating the time.
The two of them cheered up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, Professor Luping still retained a trace of goodwill and did not set any other traps along the way.
Hermione cast an Iron Armor Charm on herself and got out of the hole. Padma followed her example, but she didn't know the Iron Armor Charm and could only hide behind Hermione.
Their caution seemed a bit redundant, because Tom Yoder in the new room had no intention of attacking them at all. He just stood in the center of the room and quietly waited for the next group of challengers to arrive. On the wall on one side of the room, hanging
Holding a dozen wands, behind Tom is what looks like a treasure chest.
"Hermione...and Padma, good morning!" He greeted the two of them warmly, and used the armored spell to deflect Hermione's spell.
"That's too much, Hermione! I didn't even want to sneak attack you!" Tom put on a very hurt expression. According to his idea, he must have filled the entire room with a blinding fog, and then blocked it.
At the entrance of the cave, come and knock each one out.
But this assessment method is obviously not accepted by Professor Lupine. So Tom can only stand here openly and fight with the little wizards who refresh regularly.
His final score was linked to the passing rates of these little wizards! So in order to achieve "excellence", Tom seriously knocked out every little wizard who arrived here and handed over their wands.
.
Hanging on the wall over there are his "trophies".
"If you pass my test, you can open this treasure box." Tom pointed to the treasure box behind him with a smile, and at the same time turned an hourglass over in his arms.
"This opportunity is quite rare, let me let you experience it..." Tom lifted up his sleeves and revealed his wand, "Let's duel, Granger, Patil!"
"Expelliarmus!"
"Armor protection!"
Before Padma could react, Tom and Hermione had a confrontation. Their movements were smooth and fluid, as if they were dueling each other frequently.
In fact, Padma was right, Tom and Hermione did play against each other often. Professor Lupine taught Harry many times this semester, and Tom and Hermione also participated in Professor Lupine's teaching. These courses are all
It ended with a duel between the two. So the two of them can be said to be very familiar with things like dueling.
"It's time to get serious!"
Tom put the wand to his lips and blew out a fire dragon. The fire dragon circled and turned into a wall of fire between Tom and Hermione.
After this semester's experience, Tom's understanding of the spell of flame protection has become more and more profound, and the image of flame has become more and more rich.
Tom relied on this wall of fire to fight Hermione back and forth.
"Hold on!" Hermione stepped aside and punched the wand on the floor - there were no tables and chairs in this classroom, which was a bit of a disadvantage for Hermione. In the past, she would deform the tables and chairs to interfere with Tom, and ultimately destroy him.
wall of fire.
Fortunately, although there were no tables and chairs today, there were friends. Hermione decisively sold Padma and asked her to face Tom's attack directly, so as to buy herself some time.
"All curses come to an end!"
In every duel, Tom's Flame Bodyguard always made Hermione extremely embarrassed. The flames he summoned were actually a variant of Li Fire - the flames created by the Flame Bodyguard, if not controlled, would eventually turn into
The fierce fire burned all combustibles within sight. This kind of flame could not be extinguished by ordinary water. After learning from the painful experience, Hermione found Professor Lupin and learned this spell to restrain the fierce fire.
Grindelwald's fire required a dozen wizards to work together to extinguish it, but Tom's didn't require so much effort. Hermione could handle it alone.
I saw golden light rising from the ground, wrapping up Tom's flame. Then, the blue fire and the golden light dissipated together.
At this time, Padma was also knocked out by Tom and fell to the side unconscious.
"Now we can have a fair fight." Tom accelerated his offensive, knocked Padma unconscious, and then slightly adjusted his wizard robe to make himself look less embarrassed, and at the same time adjusted his condition.
…
"It's over." Hermione said breathlessly. In front of her lay Tom who was tied up with ropes. After Padma was knocked unconscious, she fought with Tom for a while, and finally outplayed him and defeated him.
Tied up.
