Settle at Hogwarts
Chapter 138 Combat Training
"Okay, Professor, what do I need to do?"
Dumbledore knew that Tubo had agreed, and couldn't help but feel relieved.Although Newt and the others had their own specialties and destroyed Grindelwald's plans time and time again, in the end no one could confront him head-on.
"Your magic power is growing very fast. According to this growth rate, by the time you graduate, your magic power will be almost the same as mine, and Grindelwald's will most likely be at the same level. And your physical fitness is better than ours. The only deficiency is more serious. It’s about combat experience and the use of magic spells.”
Tubo sat on the ground and listened carefully to Professor Dumbledore's analysis.
"Grindelwald is undoubtedly a genius, and he knows as many spells as you do. So you need to learn to use spells flexibly, and seize every opportunity carefully and accurately. If you want to improve these, the most effective way is, It’s just fighting.”
Tabor had a feeling that he was not surprised.
"Come on, start now." Dumbledore said and waved his wand, turning all the surrounding items into soft cushions.
Tabor suddenly had a bad premonition: "Professor, there's no need to be so anxious about that, and I'll fight you?"
Dumbledore twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Yes, I know Grindelwald. When your fighting level reaches a certain level, I will imitate his fighting style."
Tabor pulled out his wand with some resignation. He knew that Dumbledore would never be able to wait until he could crush it with his magic power.
"Professor, do I need to think of you as Grindelwald?"
"Of course, it would be great if we could do it." Dumbledore took the wand and turned it in circles.
Tabor did not salute like he did during the duel, but directly used the technique of silent spell casting and cast a petrification spell.
It's just that Dumbledore was obviously prepared, and with just a wave of his wand, the light of the Petrification Curse bounced back.
Tabor nimbly ducked to the side, the light from the tip of the wand flashed slightly, and Dumbledore's clothes immediately shrank and clung tightly to his skin.
Just when it was about to break apart, Dumbledore lifted the deformation imposed on the clothes.
At this time, Tabor had already rushed to Dumbledore's side. He was preparing a petrification spell on the tip of his wand, and was preparing to throw it over his shoulder with his other hand.
However, just a second before Tubbo met Dumbledore, he apparated directly behind Tubbo.
"you lose."
Tabor: "Professor, that's not necessarily the case."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tabor suddenly turned around, squatted down, swept his legs, and threw the prepared petrification spell directly on Dumbledore.
However, what made him feel a little regretful was that his double attacks did not have the desired effect. Dumbledore was like a ghost, always able to dodge attacks at critical moments.
"Professor, I can't hit you at all. I also want to practice apparation. This magic is really powerful when used in battle." Tabor spoke, but did not relax his vigilance.
As expected, Dumbledore had no intention of stopping. Instead, he used several spells in succession, which made Tubo feel a little overwhelmed and unable to fight back.
"Call God for protection."
Tubo recited the spell for the first time, and after resisting an attack by Dumbledore with the defensive magic on his bracelet, he finally had a chance to breathe.
"Except your weapons."
"It's all petrified."
Tubo used these two spells as quickly as possible and without reservation, but they were blocked by the stone wall that suddenly rose in front of Dumbledore.
After a few more tentative attacks, Tabor discovered that Dumbledore always seemed to be able to predict his own magic. Even if he suddenly cast a small curse that he didn't know the use of, he could react quickly. And respond promptly.
"Huh," Tabor lay back directly, falling on a soft cushion, and didn't want to struggle at all.
"Professor, I give up!"
Dumbledore smiled helplessly: "So, if I really are Grindelwald, are you going to lie down like this?"
"First, Professor, you are not. Second, there is a saying that as long as the green hills remain, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. I don't see any hope of victory in this battle. If you are really facing an enemy, show your enemy first. Being weak is not a problem."
Tubo stroked his wand, and suddenly, as if by accident, a full-body binding spell flew towards Dumbledore beside him.
Dumbledore didn't make much movement, and as if inadvertently, he waved the arm binding spell and it bounced back at a faster speed, landing on Tabor before he could turn over to avoid it.
"After showing the enemy weakness, are we still going to take the opportunity to make a sneak attack?"
Tabor couldn't move his whole body at this time and could only blink.He could feel that the magic power restraining him was getting less and less, but it would still take a long time to completely free himself from this state.
"Tubo, I understand Grindelwald. If you don't defeat him head-on, it will be difficult to make him give up his ideas." Dumbledore sat next to Tubo.
"Actually, I had a hunch very early on that I was the one who made him have these thoughts, and I might be the only one who forced him to give up."
So, do you want others to defeat him and then "persuade" him with your own words?
Tubber was speechless, but his eyes drifted to Dumbledore's eyes.
"Maybe. Although the blood pact has been lifted, the thought of taking action against him still makes me feel uncomfortable." Dumbledore said, touching Tubo's still soft black hair.
"Tub, it's time for you to wash your hair."
The only movable eye in Tabor's body suddenly rolled upward.
If you hadn't called me out so late at night, I would have taken a shower and gone to bed by now, right? !
Also, can't you untie the binding spell on me first?
As if sensing Tabor's thoughts, Dumbledore smiled and lifted the spell: "Remember, sneak attacks are not a good habit."
"Got it." Although Tubo felt that he should use all possible means to deal with the enemy and try any available means, he still had to be a little more cautious in front of Dumbledore.
However, Tubo's thoughts changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that Grindelwald might not be a complete enemy.People say that if a couple quarrels at the end of the bed, they might become their masters if they have the slightest opportunity.
So Grindelwald is not an enemy, and there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
"Tub, Tab, are you listening?"
Tabor was sitting very upright, with a well-behaved expression on his face, but the confusion in his eyes for a moment made Dumbledore see clearly.
Dumbledore knew that Tubo had agreed, and couldn't help but feel relieved.Although Newt and the others had their own specialties and destroyed Grindelwald's plans time and time again, in the end no one could confront him head-on.
