Levin even had a plan,
To help her learn to fly more effectively, he needed to act as her safety officer, riding alongside her on a broomstick and sitting behind her as she flew.
If she has any issues with control, Levin can step in and take control of the situation at any time.
Of course, during this process, there will inevitably be intimate contact such as holding hands and putting arms around each other's waists.
These are all normal bumps and bruises during exercise, nothing to worry about.
However, because of Cirira's existence
His plan was half-collapsed from the very beginning.
When she heard that they were going to ride flying broomsticks, Ciri volunteered to be their sparring partner.
Now, Levin's flight lessons are less effective than half.
With Ciri watching closely from the sidelines, not only Levin, but even Hermione herself was somewhat hesitant and timid.
They would pull their hands back at the slightest touch, let alone anything romantic.
Fortunately, although the course lost half of its ambiguity,
However, the part that belongs to the teaching itself is remarkably effective.
With Ciri making sarcastic remarks from the side, Hermione trained hard almost out of spite, just so she wouldn't lose face in front of Ciri.
On just the first day of 633, she was able to sit steadily on the broom and fly slowly.
At the current pace, Levin believes that Hermione will be able to ride a broomstick and speed through the air in less than a week.
Besides learning how to use brooms, Hermione and Ciri were given their own daily lessons.
Specifically, it's a practical magic class.
Although Levin had no idea that his butterfly effect would lead to some unsuspecting Ginny opening the secret room next semester,
But at least he understood one thing.
With Harry Potter enrolled in school, Voldemort's resurgence was inevitable.
The entire wizarding world is gradually descending into chaos.
Therefore, whether for self-preservation or for future career prospects,
They all need to study practical combat spells carefully.
To this end, Levin used magic to expand the basement by a large area, using it as a training ground for spells.
That afternoon, Levin brought them here.
Hermione and Ciri are at different levels in terms of practical magical skills, so their courses are naturally different as well.
In this respect, Ciri, who has mastered the skills of a Witcher, is far superior.
In addition, for the past four years, in order to make money, he has been imitating his adoptive father's "Witcher missions".
She has no shortage of practical skills and experience.
What's lacking is effective combat tactics.
So Levin taught her two decent spells and let her practice on her own:
【Dragon's Breath: A cone-shaped burst of flame erupts in front of you. This spell can be cast instantly, but there is a cooldown period.】
[Elemental Shout: When the caster is attacked, a counterattack can be instinctively triggered, surrounding the enemy with elements.]
Both spells—one requiring no preparation and the other a counter-attack spell—are among the most practical spells in intense battles.
Ciri was very satisfied, so she went to the other side and practiced extensively by herself.
Hermione, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to receive personal instruction from Levin.
“Battles between wizards can be broadly divided into two types: prepared battles and unprepared battles.”
"A prepared battle means scouting the enemy's identity, location, fighting style, and preferred spells in advance, then preparing defenses, potions, and countermeasures against them, then ambushing them on their likely route, and when they appear, chanting powerful spells beforehand, and then launching a sneak attack!"
"Prepared battles are actually the battles wizards like best, because wizards can learn a wide variety of spells and have a wealth of methods. As long as they prepare in advance, they can deal with almost any kind of enemy."
"For example, when facing a fire dragon, you need to prepare fire-resistant agents, flying vehicles, binding items, and eye-damaging spells in advance;"
"To deal with the basilisk, you need to prepare early warning items, sensory items, antidotes, petrification removers, live roosters, etc..."
"A well-prepared battle depends on the wizard's knowledge, resources, breadth of knowledge of spells, and so on."
"But in most cases, we will encounter battles we are unprepared for. Being ambushed, encountering each other by chance, impromptu duels, and unexpected encounters with magical creatures are all scenarios we will face in battles we are unprepared for."
"In this situation, it's useless for you to learn more magic, because the outcome is decided by a hair's breadth. The only spell that can be used is the one you can cast the fastest."
“In this respect, Shirella has done a very good job.”
"In unprepared combat, it all comes down to three words: speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness!"
"Whoever can strike the opponent the fastest, most accurately, and most ruthlessly will win the victory."
"The word 'ruthless' mainly depends on your mastery of magic and the amount of magic power you have, which I won't elaborate on here."
"What I need you to practice today is 'speed' and 'accuracy'."
"The speed naturally stems from the proficiency with spells."
"Therefore, I will not teach you any new spells today. You only need to practice one spell that you have already learned: the Disarming Charm."
"This is the simplest and fastest-cast of the ordinary combat spells."
"As long as you can use the Disarming Charm quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly in battle, you'll be able to handle 80% of dark wizards."
Levin spoke eloquently to Hermione, who listened attentively. Beside her, a pen was continuously taking notes using the [Copying Technique].
Levin didn't expect to raise Hermione to be like Ciri.
Wielding a sword while using magic—perhaps only Godric Gryffindor himself in the entire Harry Potter universe could do that.
In comparison, Hermione is probably better suited for "prepared battles".
Levin trained her this way simply to increase her ability to survive.
"Your next goal is to accurately hit the red dots on these targets."
Levin waved his wand, and four or five scarecrows rose up more than twenty meters away before falling down again.
These scarecrows have red dots drawn on their wrists, chests, and foreheads, making them the best targets.
"Alright, let's begin now."
Hermione held her breath and focused intently ahead.
Suddenly the scarecrow on the far left stood up. Hermione immediately waved her wand, and a red beam shot out, but it went straight over the scarecrow's shoulder and hit the wall.
By the time she wanted to fire again, the scarecrow had already fallen over once more.
Levin shook his head.
No matter how powerful a spell is, it has no effect if it doesn't hit the target.
Hermione was quick enough to react to the suddenly appearing scarecrow, but her aim was a bit off.
There are no shortcuts in combat; it requires constant training.
The practice lasted a full hour, leaving Hermione breathless and exhausted, before she finally stopped.
Levin helped Hermione to sit on the sofa next to him, handed her a cup of blue magic potion, and then leisurely went to Ciri.
Then he saw the girl trying to use the [Dragon Breath Technique] in the intervals between rolling and dodging.
Upon seeing Levin, Ciri stood up, wiped her sweat, and walked over.
"Well, is the little girl finished teaching?"
Levin nodded: "Let me see how your training is going, and if you've encountered any problems."
Ciri tilted her head and replied, "I've practiced Dragon Breath quite well; I can now guarantee I'll use it flawlessly every time. It's just that Elemental Shout is a bit troublesome. It's not easy for me to practice this kind of counterattack spell on my own."
As she spoke, she looked at Levin with anticipation.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Levin understood the unspoken meaning.
"Of course!"
Ciri happily handed Levin a practice sword, clearly having prepared in advance.
"Since you put it that way, how about you practice your swordsmanship with me?"
Levin had never specifically practiced using weapons before, so sparring with an expert like her would just be asking for trouble.
But since Ciri had said so, it wouldn't be right for him, as a man, to refuse.
"alright."
Levin took the practice bladeless sword, swung it casually, and tested its feel.
"Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll spar with you for a bit."
Chapter 85 The Power of the Demon Warrior
"Ding!"
"when!"
"Ding!"
In the training grounds of the tower's basement,
Hermione, her magic depleted, sat on a sofa at the edge of the training field, staring in disbelief at the two people in the center.
Wielding steel swords, they launched continuous attacks on each other while dodging and weaving.
Thrust, slash, diagonal slash, parry, block, dodge.
Whether with their hands or feet, the movements of both sides revealed that she had never witnessed such a dangerous and exciting melee combat before; even professional fencers could not achieve such an effect.
Even in such a high-speed battle, both of them maintained caution.
Because every successful attack attempt, whether by the attacker or the victim, comes at a cost.
The sword used for practice is an unsharpened, blunt sword, but the person who is cut by it still has to endure intense pain.
But successfully hitting the enemy also comes at a price.
