Chapter 292
"At this time, Mr. Lockhart came to interview for the position of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but I think, as required, we may need to do some magic skills first Test."
Dumbledore got up from behind his desk and waved wand.
The space in the headmaster room suddenly grew a lot, almost the size of a duel table.
Obviously it was in preparation for Lockhart's magic interview.
"Then, the content of this assessment is a magic contest. Of course, it’s not me, but Professor Snape."
Dumbledore said that it’s not What a joke is so funny, only Jon laughed in agreement.
"Go up, Mr. Lockhart, Professor Snape."
Today's Dumbledore is a bit too polite. Jon has never seen Dumbledore use this kind of so polite and embarrassing. Speaking in a tone of voice, Snape's face also showed an unexpected look.
Obviously, I am not used to it.
"In fact, Professor Snape has always wanted to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, so Mr. Lockhart, you will face a very powerful opponent."
Dumbledore finished, Jon and Lockhart looked at each other, his meaning was very clear, that is to let Lockhart ask for more blessings.
Jon is not very clear about the strength of Snape, but he also knows a thing or two, at least much better than Lockhart.
Able to be highly appreciated by Helga, no matter how you think about it, it won’t be bad.
But relatively speaking, Lockhart is much worse. Although his actual combat ability is quite good, he is not suitable for this kind of just and honorable duel.
A person who usually wins by shooting cold arrows or black hands can hardly adapt quickly to one-on-one frontal combat.
If Jon were Lockhart, he would probably choose to give up at this time. He knew very well that Snape would not succeed as a professor in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Dumbledore would not agree that Snape would become Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor.
So no matter how you play, Lockhart will succeed in the end.
But obviously Jon couldn't say these words now. He stood by Dumbledore's side, and said these words, which meant that he would tear down Dumbledore face to face.
He wouldn't be so stupid.
And after he and Lockhart looked at each other, the latter stepped onto the duel stage.
The first thing that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class must teach is the students' defensive ability. Under the attack of dark magic, they can survive smoothly before they can get the chance to fight back.
So, what they have to face is how to resist each other's offense.
Two wizards stood on the duel stage, one on the left and one on the right, none of them acted first.
They are waiting for Dumbledore to give the order to start.
And as Dumbledore clicked nodded, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became anxious.
Snape’s magical strength is undoubtedly the power that naked eye can see, one after another magic flew out of his wand, and then was barely resisted by Lockhart.
Although Jon's strength has not yet reached the level where he can arbitrarily intervene in such a battle, his eyesight is enough to make a judgment on such a battle.
From the very beginning, Snape is unilaterally crushing Lockhart.
Jon glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing next to him, the headmaster who temporarily became the referee, watching the matchup in the court unperturbed, silently.
But even if he didn't speak, Jon could tell, his eyes revealed his appreciation for Lockhart.
What is there to appreciate about this?
Shouldn't it mean to appreciate the powerful combat capabilities of Snape?
The battle on the field soon ended. After Snape used a Sectumsempra spell to pierce Lockhart's collar, the battle was over.
Dumbledore waved the wand to put the dueling table away, and the headmaster room was restored to its previous size.
"A very exciting battle."
He nodded at Snape, then looked towards Lockhart.
"But if you want to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I think, Mr. Lockhart, you should be a little weaker."
"What? "
Lockhart said suspiciously, but Snape, who was standing next to him and coming down with him, had no expression on his face, as if he had already known the result.
"I think what the headmaster said is very clear," the Slytherin head explained to Dumbledore, "you need to be a little weaker, it's better to be something that will not Degree."
This is really an unacceptable request.
Jon has actually guessed what Dumbledore means, but these words can only be said by two people when there are no outsiders, and they must not be said now.
"I mean, I think you understand it," Dumbledore blinked and looked at Lockhart. "If you don't understand, I think you can think about it here."
p>"Then can I leave now?"
Snape looked towards Dumbledore and stuffed wand into the robe.
Anyway, he is also a tool man. The tool man needs to use it for a long time, so he can't use everything.
Furthermore-Snape pointed to Jon-isn't there another ready-made tool man?
"Also."
After Snape and himself frowned, Dumbledore nodded: "You can leave first. If there is anything, we will Say."
I hope not.
Snape gave Lockhart a cold look, then turned his head out of the headmaster room.
"Then Mr. Lockhart, we can talk about the position now."
Lockhart was confused by Dumbledore. If he behaves like this, he still If you can be a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, then what are the assessments just for?
"Probably I want you to find the feeling."
Jon's voice sounded quietly in Lockhart's ear: "Didn’t Dumbledore just say it? You need to behave It’s better to be weaker."
"But what good is this? As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I need to teach students throughout the school. It’s not a good thing for the students in the whole school."
"Oh, of course not."
Dumbledore shook the head.
"Jon highly recommends you to me, saying that you are very suitable for this candidate, I think you can meet this requirement."
"This...Of course you can do it. "I have arrived," Lockhart said tentatively: "I just show my own shortcomings. I don't care about my reputation. I even came here for this purpose. But I don't think it is a good thing to delay the study of all students."
