209. Professor Shafiq’s Black Magic Course (5)
The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short. Who asked me to use this body?
After taking a few minutes to adjust her mentality, Elaine began to think about a solution. She quickly figured it out - as long as she kneels down and apologizes, at least half of the problem can be solved.
Even if it doesn't work out, at least she can be happy and the world will be a better place.
Yes, everything is the fault of the split soul
After finding a place to be alone and soundproof, Elaine directly made a request to Adair in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.
Damn it, the anchor is really a man, no, the anchor is really a woman
You actually have to kneel down and apologize. Who gave you the courage? Anchor
Anchor, are you out of your mind or are you suffering from the sequelae of a half-finished miracle?
As you can imagine, Adair ignored her, which reminded Elaine of the time in the first grade when she yelled about the system in an empty classroom.
"Don't threaten me with suicide, you don't want to die at all." Perhaps after reading Elaine's next thought, Adair no longer remained silent, but frowned. "I don't think my behavior is wrong, why should I apologize? This is how you treat your savior."
"Let's do it one by one." Elaine sighed, "Let's first talk about you saving me and causing the audience to fall into coma. What happened to them?"
"I just fell down after using up all my magic power. What's the explanation?"
"But the other party has great opinions"
"It'll be fine if you block all the opinions if you have big opinions." Adair snorted coldly, "You are just too easy to talk to, and those people will ride on you. I have been studying live these days, and they don't dare to complain to me. Besides, , the magic knowledge I provided is not enough."
"To be fair, that's right." Elaine nodded first, then sighed. "But it's emotionally unacceptable. Not only do I, the audience, and your body think this way, I can't tolerate your actions of absolute benefit."
"So what"
"When you abandoned emotions, did you also forget about humanity?" Elaine said, looking at the phantom in front of her with pity, "What drives human beings is usually emotion. Yes, your plan gave the Shafiq family the greatest benefit. benefits, but have you ever thought about what the people around you think and why the reaction is so big?"
"Isn't it just a matter of getting emotional? That's what you should deal with," Adair replied immediately without hesitation. "How could I, who lacks emotion, care about that?"
"Yes, I'm dealing with it." Elaine said calmly. "So, I think you should apologize to yourself, to the audience, to everyone anyway. Apologizing will not make the Shafiq family lose a hair."
"You're right." Phantom smiled disdainfully and said indifferently. "It's just a word, okay, I apologize, if it makes you feel better."
"No sincerity" Elaine frowned, this was not what she thought.
"Of course, because sincerity is also a kind of emotion." Adair smiled sarcastically, "Relax, if you weren't here, I might do something even more hateful. You should be proud. If you really can't stand this, If you want me, kill Voldemort as soon as possible, or fuse with me to free me."
"I have said many times that I hate your thoughts and I don't want to be contaminated by your thoughts."
"Oh, so what"
"Forget it." Elaine tiredly lifted the soundproofing magic, indicating that the conversation was over. "That's it, I'll figure out the rest myself."
***
Leaving aside the real bodies of Hermione, Daphne and Adair, at least the insincere apology of the split soul stopped the audience's resentment. Now most people began to sympathize with Elaine, and no one envied her time travel.
If time travel is going to be such a big trouble, it's better not to wear it at all.
But that was enough to settle the audience. Hermione and Daphne still refused to talk to Elaine, and Elaine had no idea how to deal with the original body.
Although she had lost her soul family tree, the deceptive split soul in her body was so disgusting that Elaine always felt that the real body might still be angry with her.
Finally, Adair's Defense Against the Dark Arts class came again.
Due to Adair's instructions, everyone went into battle lightly this time with only their wands and the reports to be handed in. The black magic classroom was also different from usual. The desks and chairs had disappeared, leaving only an empty room.
Many students were too nervous to eat lunch, and Neville was the most exaggerated. He had been nervous since the morning because his performance in the previous class was extremely poor. He couldn't stun people with the Stunning Curse, couldn't cast the Shadow Curse, and could only use the Armor Charm. Reach the passing mark.
Although Adair didn't make sarcastic remarks like Snape, and only gave him more homework to go back and strengthen, his stern and cold eyes were scarier than Professor McGonagall. Neville cried immediately after leaving the classroom, so frightened that he cried .
"I've brought all the reports." Adair swept across the crowd coldly and stayed on Elaine for a few seconds. "The person whose name was called comes forward to hand in the report. At the same time, we will have a real battle with the opponent mentioned in your report. I want to watch." Let’s see how different it is from what you wrote, Potter.”
Harry swallowed, it had already been deduced that Adair would let them and report their opponents for actual combat.
Of course, he couldn't just choose an opponent randomly. Although he wanted to write Malfoy, it was better to play it safe, so he chose Ron.
Of course, Ron also wrote about him, as most students do. He conservatively chose the closest and most familiar friends. The fight also looked like a turn-based set of tricks. There was nothing to see in the back and forth, which made what was supposed to be a very good friend. The fun lessons became a bit dull.
Only the showdown between Hermione and Daphne was more exciting. Hermione wrote two entire volumes of parchment about her guesses and responses. Every Gryffindor student thought she was crazy. Daphne's report was as long as Hermione's, and the following one The duel made the little wizards dumbfounded.
This was the first time Harry saw the two fighting. Usually Hermione and Daphne teamed up to attack Elaine.
The two cast a stunning spell on each other without hesitation, with almost the same movement and speed, but neither side succeeded in attacking. The beams of light staggered in the classroom, one passing by Daphne who was dodging sideways, and the other hitting Hermione's armor charm.
Harry was surprised at how quickly Hermione cast spells. He found that Hermione's speed and gestures were much faster than them. She must have calculated which moves she was going to use and practiced a lot, because her wand The gestures never stop, each spell is connected, which requires familiarity with many spells and much practice.
Daphne relied on her own reflexes to dodge and counterattack. Her dodge posture was as smooth as if she was dancing. She stared closely at the tip of Hermione's wand and was ready to dodge when Hermione cast the spell, so she could easily do so. Avoiding the curse and taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack forced Hermione to stay on the defensive.
Harry really couldn't tell which side had the advantage, and he always felt that the two of them were very aware of and accustomed to each other's movements.
If this continues, it depends on whether Hermione will run out of magic first or Daphne will make a mistake first.
"Stop." Adair looked at it for a few minutes, then shook his head and said, "It's much better than the one just now, but that's it. What I want to see is not this kind of Shafiq. It's you."
Elaine stepped forward expressionlessly and handed over the report, but Adair did not open it.
Flames burst out from his hands and he burned the report.
"It's fun to bully your own classmates." Adair snorted, "Your opponent is me."
