In the minds of most wizards, Rubeus Hagrid's most conspicuous labels are naturally "the big fool" and "the giant with strange strength".
Especially some Hogwarts professors or Death Eaters who know some inside information. They will not doubt Hagrid's loyalty, but they will also look down upon Hagrid's magical ability.
In fact, it is too obvious that Hagrid is a half-giant.
It is impossible for a normal person to grow to a huge size of nearly four meters, not to mention his incomprehensible strange power and super defense against magic. Any wizard with corresponding magic knowledge can carry out the most reasonable reasoning...
There are many mixed-race wizards in the magic world, which is not difficult to guess.
Perhaps half-blood goblins, half-blood Veela, half-blood elves... these are very easy to associate with super magical abilities, but giants are obviously not among them.
Not to mention, Hagrid is still a half-blood giant who dropped out of school. In the past few decades, he did not even have a complete wand.
Therefore, even Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape would subconsciously think that Hagrid has no magical ability.
With Rubeus Hagrid temporarily replacing him, what they were thinking most about was physical attacks to end the game.
However, Elena, who is also a mixed-blood wizard, doesn't think so.
From her "prophet" perspective, Hagrid is definitely one of the most underestimated wizards, and can even be ranked among the top most underestimated wizards.
Compared with other members of the Order of the Phoenix, due to the rigid thinking of the magic world, this powerful hybrid giant has not actually fully demonstrated his due strength.
The first is giant blood, which may not have a side effect on whether a person has magical abilities that reach the level of an ordinary wizard.
You must know that Hagrid is not the only wizard with giant blood in the wizarding world today. Another hybrid giant, Madame Maxime, is the principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As the level of development of the magic bloodline gradually increases, Elena can clearly feel the increase in the magic bloodline.
The most powerful thing about mixed-blood wizards is that on the one hand, they can use the magic power of the magic blood in their bodies as their base value, and on the other hand, they can also enjoy the high magic growth coefficient unique to human wizards, although it varies slightly depending on each person's physique.
, but in the case of dual reinforcement of the initial panel and growth, mixed-blood wizards rarely fall below the average level of ordinary wizards.
As for dropping out of school, if it is just some simple spells, young wizards from ordinary magical families who do not go to school can use their parents' wands to try to cast them.
And young wizards who are not from the magic world can also learn some simple magic by themselves after receiving the teaching materials. After one or two years of study, even the evil spells that are not included in the teaching materials can be used.
Dropping out of a magic school does not mean that there is no room for improvement. Gellert Grindelwald and Newt Scamander also dropped out of school, but this does not prevent them from becoming the top wizards of this century. In fact
In addition to these two powerful men who don't seem to have much reference value, many pure-blood wizards also choose to teach their children at home.
Especially some magic families in Europe and Asia, even if they do not choose a magic school, they can still learn magic completely and systematically based on various textbooks and literature.
Not to mention, Hagrid has been staying at Hogwarts for the past few decades. Even if he has not been studying in the classroom, he is definitely not bad in the field of applied magic.
After the Ministry of Magic forcibly broke Hagrid's wand, Dumbledore's secret struggle was not only to keep him in Hogwarts.
As the current owner of the Elder Wand, he secretly repaired Hagrid's wand and "hinted" Hagrid to use it secretly while hiding it in his umbrella.
After Ollivander, Grindelwald, Nico Flamel and others joined forces to strengthen and refine it, today's "Umbrella Wand" surpasses almost 99% of all wands.
According to the evaluation of Ollivander and others, it is no longer just a wand, it is more like a magic guide loaded with wand function modules - after all, the effect of a conventional wand is to increase and stabilize the release of magic spells.
, but the "amplification" effect of the "Umbrella Wand" can qualitatively change some spells, such as... the huge magic shield that appears in front of everyone.
Under Elena's visual inspection, the enhanced "armor protection" almost reached magic immunity in terms of magic defense capabilities.
However, the more important point is that this spell also has physical resistance and a certain collision volume.
"This, this can be...can this be considered magic?"
"Cheating! It's definitely cheating, he even pushed them down directly!"
In the stands of Slytherin House, as Hagrid easily swept down his opponent with the magic shield, the little wizards who were watching the whole process instantly exploded.
If those previous spells were just ineffective, then when the light blue hexagonal honeycomb structure light shield appeared, all the magic turned into a silent beam of light.
Rubeus Hagrid didn't even use a second magic spell or any attack action. He just held the umbrella and pushed forward slowly with easy steps. However, no one could do such a mediocre horizontal push.
Resisting, the two Slytherin students were pushed off the ring without any resistance, like foam people being beaten by the waves, as if they didn't exist at all.
In the stands of Hogwarts faculty and staff, the professors looked particularly strange.
To be fair, if they were in the duel field below, they wouldn't be able to think of any countermeasures for a while.
The more critical point is that Hagrid has never used any offensive spells. No one knows how terrifying it will be if he switches from defense to offense.
"Apocalis Magic Shield - actual combat test results: resists 63 magic spells, and the loss is negligible."
Elena took out her wand and tapped on her magic book, recording the data this time.
In the magical world, the birth of any powerful "magic device" is accompanied by dangers. Before these things are officially put into production, they have to conduct a series of experiments.
There is no doubt that the rough-skinned and fleshy Rubeus Hagrid is obviously the most suitable one to serve as the chief tester.
If it weren't for the fact that this was Hogwarts, she would have even wanted Hagrid to try Apparition.
In the "entrance assessment" a few months ago, she made a detailed count of the "list of spells" held by Hagrid, and the results were much better than she expected.
Judging from the "enchantment list", this hybrid giant is equivalent to the O.W.L.s qualifying standard and can be used as an average strength parameter in the magic world - if Rubeus Hagrid can use the magic device normally, then in terms of safety,
After the inspection is completed, it can definitely be moved to the assembly line and promoted to every wizard. This is her ideal new era of magic tools.
As for why Hagrid was not used to using magic to solve problems before, and why most of the battles in the original work were hand-to-hand combat, Elena was not surprised.
After all, compared to his physical strength level, the magical abilities he could exert before were slow to cast and did low damage.
However, things are different now.
"Mr. Hagrid, try using magic shock this time."
Elena said softly as she watched the second-round contestants of the Slytherin Academy Arena take their stance on the duel field.
"By the way, remember to unfold the umbrella, but... this time, why don't you try pointing the umbrella handle in the direction of the 'enemy'?"
As the founder of "Dual Rewind Structure Transformation Magic", her ability to control sounds has long been the same as when she was young.
Although in her original plan, Hagrid's trial target was supposed to be Dolores Umbridge, who had not yet returned to school, the current situation seemed to be not bad.
She was not optimistic about Professor Snape's potion offensive from the beginning. They should be truly suitable for large-scale legion operations, or fortifications in confined spaces.
On this kind of open terrain, whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is the magical world or the non-magical world, what determines the outcome has always been the most unpretentious heavy shields and long-range heavy artillery.
In the first round of two-person magic confrontation just now, the "Apocalis Magic Shield" perfectly withstood the attacks of two fourth-year wizards for several minutes.
So, now...
Magic blast?
Try pointing the umbrella handle forward?
Rubeus Hagrid frowned in confusion. To his knowledge, he had never held the tip of a wand to cast a spell.
However, he still chose to believe in the little angel above.
He turned the umbrella around, held the tip of the umbrella, and turned the handle outward like an upside-down mushroom.
After all, over the years, besides Albus Dumbledore, Elena was the second wizard who really wanted and took serious action to help him.
"Wait, wait...what is Mr. Hagrid doing?"
"Is he planning to hit himself?! Mr. Hagrid, don't!"
"Could it be that Slytherin College lost some mind-psyching potion again?!"
At the same time, there was a burst of shouts from the Gryffindor stands.
People looked nervously at the giant who turned the tip of his staff to point at them, wondering what he wanted to do.
"Magic... impact."
Hagrid muttered in a deep voice, holding the somewhat hot tip of the magic umbrella with both hands.
The bright white magical light lit up from Hagrid's hand, starting from the tip of the umbrella and spreading towards the surrounding ribs. Finally, it converged like a spider web to the outermost umbrella handle, where the light like the bright sun gradually lit up.
And it's getting brighter and brighter.
etc--
There's something wrong with this power!
At the same time, Elena's originally relaxed look suddenly changed.
"Valkyrja Operational—"
"Oops!"
"There's danger! Get out of the way!"
On the Hogwarts faculty and staff viewing platform, Severus Snape's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up and drew out his wand.
Before anyone else could figure out what he was talking about, the next second, a dazzling giant beam of light penetrated everyone's field of vision and flashed across the center of the field.
boom!
Accompanied by a huge roar, the sand and gravel in half of the site seemed to be lifted up by some strange creature.
A trace of scorching heat appeared in the center of the field, spreading from Hagrid's feet to the area where the Slytherin players were.
"call……"
"Gryffindor House wins!"
"It hurts a little. It seems like I was careless. It's much stronger than I thought -"
In the smoke and dust, a petite and graceful figure loomed in the dust.
Elena gently rubbed her wrist, her lake-blue eyes swept across the smoke, and she whispered in a cold voice.
"gravity--"
The dust in the sky was frozen in an instant, falling vertically like a quicksand waterfall that suddenly appeared.
Elena hovers lightly in the air, her streamlined blue-white armor outlines her slender waist and "straight and slender" legs, like a mythical Valkyrie.
The blade-like tail spreads back like a skirt, just in time to protect the two fifth-year Slytherin students who were frightened like clay figures in the back. The waterfall-like silver hair was divided into twin ponytails fluttering behind in the wind, and the pure white chest
The armor outlines two graceful arcs on the girl's chest.
And directly in front of her, a familiar light blue hexagonal honeycomb shield was gradually disappearing...
"I declare that this morning's competition... is over."
