54 Chapter 54 Win-Gardi-Um-Le-Viosa-!

"To attempt to be brave is certainly a choice that one will never regret."

Slughorn praised as he raised his wand as well, and he looked pleased with Jon's choice, without the slightest hint of faked delight.

"If Hogwarts is still the same Hogwarts, I'm still the same Slytherin Head, then regardless of what, I would have taught you especially when you entered Slytherin House."

"Would such a pureblood house accept a student with a mudblood like me?" Jon scoffed in a low voice.

Slughorn said with undeniable seriousness.

"A true Slytherin is never judged by bloodline as an absolute standard, as long as the heart is noble, visionary, and willing to take absolutely daring action for their goals and ambitions, that is a perfect Slytherin."

"And then? Now in that Hogwarts castle with the snake as the school crest, is there a person who can be called a perfect Slytherin like this?"

"I'm sorry, actually, after leaving my position as Head of Slytherin, I never went back to that castle, but after I leave from here, I might visit there." Slughorn said with a relaxed tone.

He had completely run out of patience to continue chatting with Jon, and the tip of the wand in his hand aimed precisely at Jon's body.

"That's all for today, Jon. Don't worry, I'm looking forward to what you can grow into when we next meet, so no matter what choice you make, whether you stop me in the end or not, I won't hurt you."

As soon as his words fell, the tip of his wand glowed bright red!

"Stupefy."

Jon's voice also sounded almost at the same second!

"Wingardium-Leviosa!"

The wand he held in his left hand didn't swing, but the moment the spell showed its effect, he dodged the stunning spell flying towards him with a speed far beyond that of a normal human, and charged straight towards the fat walrus!

Jon knows very well about the gap between himself and a veteran magic professor, whether it is the number of spells learned or the strength of the spell, even if he learns another decade he may not be able to catch up with the current level of accumulation Slughorn has.

If he wants to get a chance to win, he can only find another way, although the ring casting was taught to him by Slughorn, but because of the special nature of this kind of magic, other than the party who learned it, others can hardly find a way to target such a spell casting method.

Just an ordinary general counter-spell is enough to neutralize the levitation charm, but a levitation charm that takes effect inside Jon's body, how can a common counter-spell affect the wizard's body?

Since there is no way to make any counter on the magical level, it is the simplest and purest way to make an attempt.

The levitation charm used on the body can only reduce Jon's weight but not strengthen his physical capabilities, so if it comes to physical combat, in fact, he only has the strength of an ordinary 11-year-old boy, but Slughorn is also a hundred-year-old man, and still extremely addicted to sweets and lack exercise, so a little walk would make him tired from too much sweating.

If you want to make a comparison between both of their physical strength, they are equally balanced, but they both still only have half a man's strength, even so, compared to a wand-to-wand fight, Jon has a much higher chance to succeed in this method!

At first, Jon's actions went extremely swiftly, and Slughorn did not react to his extraordinary speed, and when he realized that the stunning spell had failed and raised his wand again, Jon had already arrived in front of him.

Jon, whose breathing had obviously become much more rapid, jumped and raised his fist high in the air!

"Wake up! Teacher! If the dark lord really respects you and wants to welcome you, then why did he corner you like that during the second attack! If your reaction had been half a second slower, then you would have really let his men blow you up!"

"Bang!"

His fist didn't hit Slughorn's face, a slight ripple rippled up, and a transparent light shield shielded the fat walrus' body.

Slughorn looked at Jon, who had got close at hand, and smiled without changing his face.

"I'm more sober than anyone else in the world, Jon, and it's because he has that kind of character that he can actually do what he wants to do. This is similarly your biggest drawback, if you can refrain from putting so much weight on your feelings in your future, then I am sure that your future achievements will not be low."

He said softly, his hand did not swing the wand, and his mouth did not recite the incantation, but the wooden boxes scattered around the store room soundlessly changed dramatically.

These dead things were given life by magic, they became flexible and slender, and finally turned into countless bright green vipers that sprang towards Jon's direction!

Jon did not back up or choose to dodge, it can also be said that he could not evade it now, the entire floor of the storage room has already been occupied by the vipers, except for the space where he and Slughorn stood on their feet!

He raised the wand in his hand and recited the only offensive spell he knew at the transparent light shield.

"Petrificus-Totalus!"

The bright red spell shot out from the tip of his wand, so close that the spell itself had no chance of being shot out of line, and retained the fullest possible impact!

The shield charm protecting Slughorn's body was tainted red by the full body-bind curse!

But even so, the gap between the quality of the magic spell between the two still did not allow Jon's spell to break through the layer of protection, and it did not even manage to break a little, simply leaving some fine cracks like a spider web on the surface of the shield charm.

Even this was enough to bring an expression of surprise to Slughorn's face.

"A very satisfactory full body-bind curse, first-year students should not be taught about this in their classes at all, you have already surpassed the vast majority of your peers by being able to reach this level just by self-study."

During the time he was speaking, the vipers that littered the ground had already reached Jon's feet.

Jon's face did not show much disappointment when he failed to land a blow, and his eyes stared at Slughorn's eyes through the cracked gap of the shield charm that appeared as he calmly said.

"I originally intended to give you a surprise the day I saw you brewing the polyjuice potion, teacher. But now it's not too late to let you know."

He didn't swing his wand, didn't even bother to raise the wand in his hand again, and simply uttered softly through his lips, the incantation that is used by most wizards when they first learn magic.

"Win-Gardi-Um-Le-Viosa-!"

The next moment, the "Levitation Charm", which had never been shown to the world besides Neville, showed its effect!

Just when the fastest viper had touched his shoes, the earth's gravity suddenly lost its pull on Jon, and a strange force made him float in mid-air!
