Irina looked at Ginny not far away with confusion, her face turned red from the cold, and didn't understand what she was talking about.
A certain uneasy feeling began to fill the air, and Irina was familiar with this strange feeling - it was usually like this whenever Ginny wanted to play a prank.
"It's almost time to finish, Ginny - sorry, you're going to catch a cold if you keep this up."
Irina shook her head and calmly raised the wand in her hand to point at Ginny. The effect of the exhibition match should be considered perfect.
As the little witch with the most proficiency in magic among the three and the intern captain's secretary of the Hyperion, she must not lose to anyone in front of Elena - even if the other person is the best person she has met since arriving at Hogwarts.
Good friends, but deliberately delaying in this situation is a bad behavior that hurts and bullies friends.
At most... find some time at night to secretly catch a few fish in the Black Lake as a reconciliation gift, right?
"Yeah, so we should try and warm up-"
Before Irina could utter the curse, Ginny Weasley made a face at her and suddenly threw the small bag in her hand forward.
At the same time, Ginny's right wand moved forward suddenly, and she read quickly again in a clear voice.
"Super-Bat-Spell!"
"It's useless, Ginny. Don't forget, we both developed this magic together."
Irina waved the wand calmly, not even dodging, and dealt with it just like the first time.
"Incendio!"
Different from the fire spell recorded in the Hogwarts Charms textbook, the improved flaming blazing will erupt into a flame vortex at the end of the spell.
According to Danilova's optimization model, the center of the vortex that forms a vacuum and low-pressure area in an instant will pull the surrounding objects at the moment the flame breaks out, causing a small-scale gathering effect.
This vacuum pressure based on magic is even more powerful than most binding spells.
No matter what Ginny threw, it could only stop in place under this counter-spell, unable to break through to her side.
But as her subconscious curse counterattacked, the uneasiness that had been lingering in her heart suddenly turned into pebbles and fell down.
The next moment, Irina immediately understood the source of this uneasiness.
Some huge fire dragons made of gold and green sparks roared out of the bag engulfed in flames!
The sky was filled with gorgeous fiery red stars spraying everywhere, making huge explosions, followed by brightly colored pink Catherine wheel fireworks!
Those fireworks were at least five feet in diameter and made a terrifying whooshing sound like rapidly rotating "flaming flying saucers";
And at the end of all the "firework monsters", dozens of bundles of firework sticks turned into eyes of fire, dragging a shining long tail made of silver stars, turning into comets in a few seconds, easily covering the entire area.
site……
"Irina, your biggest shortcoming is that you don't listen carefully to what others say."
Ginny looked at the fireworks that were "irritated" by the fire spell, and looked seriously at her best friend in front of her who seemed to be frightened.
"If you can be more curious, you should seriously ask me now what kind of magic is this-"
"Collapse!"
Irina had a cold face and pointed out the wand without any hesitation.
A burst of red light suddenly shot out from the tip of her wand, hitting the firework dragon charging towards her head on.
Boom! Crackling——
The firework dragon did not stop. Instead, it exploded violently like a pack of dynamite, scattering into countless small firecrackers and throwing them towards her.
"Oh, don't cast a Stunning Charm on them, they're not living things - they're magical alchemy items, well, magical fireworks."
Ginny spread her hands helplessly and watched Irina explain seriously. She took out a second small cloth bag from her arms and took out a set of magic fireworks that had not yet been activated.
"Each Weasley firework is made up of dozens of magic firework sticks. If you use offensive spells to counter them, there is a high probability that they will be scattered directly. As for extinguishing the burning explosion of the firework...
…These are not achieved by relying on low temperature and water spray, they are fireworks set off by magic, and they cannot be extinguished even if you scatter them."
"By the way, as a friend, I suggest you eliminate the option of 'disappearance curse' directly——"
Before Ginny could finish her words, Irina waved her wand again with a cold expression.
"Disappear without a trace!"
Hogwarts textbooks count the Vanishing Curse as part of the fifth and sixth grade curriculum, but the regular curriculum obviously does not apply to Irina.
Considering that there might not have been a magic school to accommodate her before, she learned most of the upper-level spells by herself at home, and she would not miss such important spells as the Vanishing Curse.
You know, when faced with alchemical props, the disappearing spell is undoubtedly the most effective solution - this is common sense that every wizard who has passed O.W.L.s knows.
As Irina's spell hit the roaring and exploding magic fireworks, the sky above the venue seemed to freeze for half a second.
Just when she thought the spell was taking effect, the magic fireworks frozen in mid-air suddenly roared like a lion.
Boom! Boom! Roar——
Under everyone's gaze, those ferocious "fireworks dragons" shook their heads and roared, rapidly growing to ten times their original number in a series of explosive roars.
Splashes of golden red and green magic sparks instantly filled the sky above the duel venue. The dazzling crimson fireworks dragged their long flame tails across the sights of the surrounding onlookers, like meteors raining down towards the people below.
Irina and Ginny swooped away, and amid the explosion of firecrackers and flames, Ginny's voice came faintly from the broadcast on the screen.
"-Otherwise, they will grow tenfold."
Irina raised her head in confusion, looking at the fire that filled the sky.
A few months ago, she had seen a somewhat similar meteor shower aboard the Hyperion.
However, she was not standing on the ground at that time, but standing in the sky watching the "rain of fire" falling towards the earth.
There may be many differences between the two, but when she saw those gorgeous and dangerous magic fireworks, the first reaction in her mind was...
--so beautiful.
as well as……
Some kind of helpless and panic hesitation.
She knew that she might lose this duel.
"Hey! Are you stupid?! Where is your own magic?!"
Just when Irina was distracted, Ginny's angry voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
She turned her head and saw Ginny appearing next to her at some point, with a shallow magic shield appearing above her head.
Firecrackers exploded like thunder everywhere, and Ginny had to work hard to hold up a small barrier to resist the dangerous falling sparks.
"Hurry up and admit defeat, idiot - otherwise we will both get hurt!" Ginny said angrily, looking at Irina who was still stunned.
In little Ginny's original thoughts, after she showed her twin brother's "sure-win", Irina would still resist a few times, at least open some kind of magic shield, or use some magic shield that she didn't know.
Strange magic came to counterattack, but who knew that after trying it twice, this guy just stared up at him and "waited to die".
"...Ginny? Why are you running here?" Irina came back to her senses and quickly waved the wand in her hand upwards.
Silver-white magical light beams shot upward from her wand, forming a barrier like an eggshell.
【Impregnable】
"Of course I'll take the opportunity to sneak up on you—"
Ginny said angrily, glancing at her best friend who had just reacted now.
"Anyway, this is such a rare opportunity, and my body moved unconsciously. Can you admit defeat now?"
"...If I give up now, can you make those magic fireworks stop?"
"It doesn't seem possible -" Ginny was stunned for half a second and said honestly.
In fact, when George and Fred secretly handed those "Weasley fireworks" to her before, they specifically asked her to throw them away little by little.
At first, she thought those fireworks were less dangerous things like exploding rotten eggs.
At most, it was just to scare Irina and create an opportunity for her to take advantage of the chaos to make a comeback. Who knew that under the catalysis of a few magic spells, those fireworks would suddenly become so terrifying.
Besides, she didn’t expect Fred and George to stuff so much into their bags…
"So, you actually got into trouble, right? Ginny."
Irina raised her eyebrows, and she saw a look on Ginny's face that was even more panicked than her own.
"These magic fireworks of yours... have never been tested before, right? If I knock you out and throw you out, will I win?"
"you--"
"I lied to you, I give up. Sister Kaslana, help me!"
A hint of cunning suddenly appeared on Irina's face, which had never been troubled.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to admit defeat, she got a better reward. As for whether Elena would lower her rating because of this, Irina didn't plan to think about it.
If that doesn't work out, the best she can do is for Ginny to become her superior, and there's nothing wrong with that.
…………
"This, this is - how many magic fireworks did she just light at once?!"
"The first year of Hogwarts is so scary, can you use these in a duel?!"
"Didn't you hear that it was an indiscriminate magic confrontation? Elena didn't stop it, which means this is within the scope of the rules."
"With so many magic fireworks, something big will happen if they fall on them! This is a bit too much!"
Many wizards present stood up instantly and nervously looked down at the venue completely obscured by the flames of fireworks.
Maybe a few individual magic fireworks were just a prank, but when they saw hundreds of magic fireworks blooming from the small bag thrown by Ginny, no one would think that this thing was a harmless joke——
Even from a distance of tens of meters, many people could vaguely feel the terrifying oppressive force brought by those flames and roaring fireworks.
"Professor McGonagall, is the duel venue down below...perhaps this should be the end of it?"
Professor Sprout said with some concern that under such an unmanned bombing, she was worried that Elena alone might not be able to protect those children.
"Don't worry." Minerva McGonagall shook her head calmly.
"Miss Kaslana is not afraid of fire." Snape sat calmly in his seat with his usual indifferent expression.
"Not afraid of...fire?" Professor Sprout looked at Snape in confusion.
At this moment, the flames that filled the sky finally roared and merged into a huge dragon head, rushing towards the field below.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
Without any warning, strong explosions and flames instantly filled the space.
Layer after layer of fire waves rolled and spread in all directions with the "Fireworks Fire Dragon" falling center as the center.
Hot tongues of fire flew wildly.
Dazzling golden red light, rolling heat waves.
Even the air trembled horribly in that impact, sweeping towards the surroundings with unrivaled momentum.
Poof. A thin curtain of light flashed around the duel venue.
That was the magical protection that Professor Flitwick had previously set up around the dueling venue.
It only supported the shock wave for less than half a second, and then dissipated like broken gold foil.
The next moment, a powerful shock wave and deafening explosion swept across the entire Quidditch pitch.
Fortunately, there is a layer of magical protection around the stands.
The light golden light curtain lights up in time.
Countless ripples rippled in front of everyone's eyes.
Gulu——
Although they did not face the impact directly, everyone still swallowed unconsciously.
This was a duel between first-year students at Hogwarts. If we could say that the previous spell battles had reached the level of ordinary Aurors.
Then the "strange magic" at the end is simply beyond the understanding of most wizards.
Dust and gravel were thrown into the sky like toys.
Rather than saying it was an explosion caused by magic fireworks, it was more like a meteor falling to the ground.
This level of danger has obviously once again set the upper limit of this field - before this, the most dangerous thing here was just the Bludgers.
There was a deathly silence in the stands.
The tinnitus caused by the deafening roar still echoes in the ears of many people, making everything seem like a dream.
This time, even the professors in the stands lost their original calm and calm expressions.
OMG!
What kind of magic fireworks are here!
Secondary detonation, serial fire wave, chain blasting...
This is a composite magic prop that is extremely crazy and extremely genius at the same time!
In the magical wars of the Middle Ages a few centuries ago, people were more accustomed to calling this kind of "anti-army" magic tool.
However, before everyone could gradually recover from the shock, there seemed to be some monster inhaling in the center of the smoke. Countless flames soared into the air as if they were pulled by invisible threads, and gathered upside down towards the core area where the "Fireworks and Fire Dragon" hit.
.
After the dust in the sky was still for half a second, it seemed as if it was suddenly stained by raindrops and fallen leaves fell rustling.
In the middle of a messy field, two little witches were holding hands and cuddling nervously.
Not far in front of the two of them, a silver-haired witch gently raised her fingers.
Endless flames merged into the light at her fingertips.
"call--"
Elena breathed lightly.
It was as easy as extinguishing a candle to blow out the flame of hundreds of magic fireworks.
Since she mastered the flame runes and inspired the Veela bloodline, ordinary flames pose no danger to her.
If it weren't for the fact that the taste of Weasley's fireworks wasn't really delicious and her image in front of the whole school, she could even just swallow them in one go... In front of the real top wizards, magical fireworks are not that advanced and difficult to understand.
Coping skills.
"In the first round, Ginny Weasley wins."
Elena looked around, as if she had just finished guessing, and said in a relaxed tone.
"In addition, this competition has temporarily added a prohibited prop -"
