Lisa Dupin touched the slight peck on her neck, but the Mage Armor on her body was still in effect. She snapped out of her daze and knew she was safe.
"These two defensive spells are actually far inferior to the defensive power of the Iron Armor. As you can see, except for the Shield Spell, which is a counterspell against magic missiles, its defensive power against other magic spells is equivalent to that of a tower shield made of muggles. Just like the Mage's Armor, it's about the same as the Muggles' Plate Armor." He pointed at the feathers on Lisa's neck and the reddish peck marks on her neck. "In addition, because the spell components of these two curses don't have any elements that can be dispelled, the only help they can provide is in the physical form of a force field. Against curses that are directly produced by magic power, their usefulness is limited … Although they will increase a little because of your strength, this increase is more in other aspects than the defensive effect. If you happen to encounter a curse that is deflected away due to the angle, it is inevitable that some of them will pass through the armor and slip through the net … Therefore, the Armor Protection Curse is a protective curse that can defend against most magical effects. It is a skill that all of you must continue to master."
The excited wizards below the stage were disappointed. They did not understand why Allen wanted to teach them this defensive spell that was not as good as the one they already knew.
"Why? Are you curious why I asked you to learn these two defensive spells that have limited uses? " Alan smiled at the wizards and extended a finger. "Don't forget the hint I gave you just now and the reason why I taught you these spells in the first place …"
Some of the quick-witted students had already recalled the key to the problem. This satisfied Alan and he nodded approvingly at the students in the Ravenclaw area. "
"Because this spell requires a lot of focus and vigilance in battle to cast successfully. It is different from the Iron Armor Spell that only lasts for a short period of time. Its duration and automatic properties help the wizards maintain a certain level of defense at all times." Allen waved his wand again, this time casting the Wadi Vasi Spell.
Naturally, the fragments that had returned to their chalk form shot towards Lisa. This time, they were successfully deflected by the Mage Armor Spell.
"The duration of these defensive spells, as I said just now, will increase according to the wizard's strength … According to my estimation, if a little wizard who just entered the school in the first year has enough talent and wisdom to control the shield spell, this spell will be able to last for a minute. However, if a seventh year student is to cast this spell, other than a few little wizards whose talent is not in casting spells, I estimate that the duration should be more than ten minutes …" Alan said the number that made the little wizards exclaim in surprise. Then, he smiled mischievously, "As for the mage's armor … it's almost the same as the shield spell based on the number, but the unit of duration will be in hours. After they cast it, they don't need your continuous focus to maintain it. You can cast other spells that you want to cast normally without any hindrance."
This caused an uproar among the young wizards. Although the defensive power of these two spells was far inferior to the Mage Armor Spell, and its range was not as wide as the Mage Armor Spell, but the duration of time it lasted made these two spells very valuable.
A magic shield that lasted for a few minutes wasn't a big deal, but it could be cast before the start of the battle. After all, magic spells rarely lasted for too long in a battle. On the other hand, a mage's armor was a life-saving tool that didn't cost much. If one cast it on oneself, it could last for half a day … This would make it easier for the wizards to survive when they were ambushed.
"Although the Mage Armor Spell I cast on Miss Dope this time has been suppressed by the practice wand, it can only last for ten to twenty hours, not three to four days …" Allen smiled gently at Lisa. "But I don't intend to dispel it. When the other Western witches go to the bathroom today, you can observe Miss Dope's shower. I'm afraid she won't be able to wet herself … But the hot water should be able to make the Mage Armor visible … If you want to take a bath, remember to soak in it … Of course, if the male wizards dare to peep, I think Mr. Filch will be more than happy to punish you …"
This caused the wizards who were still shocked by the effects of the spell to burst into laughter. Lisa Dope, a girl who was not considered pretty, was now blushing. She had already decided that she would only clean herself up today and not go to the bathroom. Even if she were to be watched by the same sex, it would not be a problem.
Allen, who was so pleased with himself that he made a joke, his smile froze. He noticed the murderous look in Hermione's eyes, as if her eyes could directly release those angry canaries.
"Cough … Alright, Mr. Malfoy and Miss Dope can leave the stage first. Draco, I will return your practice wand to you after class." Allen's face immediately became sanctimonious. He coughed dryly and kept a straight face. "Next, the remaining two spells are not defensive spells. Instead, they will form a perfect defense against physical attacks together with the Mage Armor Spell and the Mage Shield Spell …"
"Ah? Why is that? "
"Yeah, why do we have to strengthen the defense against non-magic spells?"
"Headmaster Harris, I'm begging you. Can you invent some Magic Spells that can counter Magic Spells? I think they will be more useful in a duel … I seem to have been easily defeated by anyone in the past few weeks …"
Allen's joke made the atmosphere more relaxed. The young people in the audience had almost forgotten the rules that Penello had set for them not long ago.
"I do have some similar defensive spells that can be used against magic for a long period of time. A few basic spells that can be converted into the casting method of ordinary wizards. For example, the Lesser Spell Nullification Barrier can resist low-level transformation spells, ordinary magic spells, and evil curses … Also, like the Mage Marriage, it also has a more advanced version that can resist poison curses and even curse-type black magic." Alan was not angry. Instead, he gently explained, "However, because most of them are defensive spells, the difficulty of casting them is not the same. Now that you have mastered the level of armor protection … Although it is not like a few years ago when you could not even cast it, there is still a gap between it and Draco's. It is even more difficult to learn these spells. Therefore, I foresee that in the future, after I tactfully convert them, they will be placed in the university and the Ravenclaw Temple for wizards who are one step closer to the path of magic to learn."
The wizards had different reactions. Some of the more talented young wizards were ambitious and planned to go to universities after graduation. However, the young wizards who felt that the spells they were learning were not very smooth were disappointed. They knew that it was difficult for them to master many difficult spells, and it was only because of the high concentration of magic on the floating city that made it easier for them to cast spells. It seemed that these spells, which were more difficult than the Mage Armor Spell, were not fated to be with them.
"Don't be so disappointed, my students … Don't forget that the magic power of us wizards will grow as we age. This is the reason why I put them in the temple other than the university … Perhaps all of you are still short of breath when you graduate, but after living in the magic world for a few years, if you are still diligent enough and have the desire to explore knowledge … Going to the temple is a good choice. This is the promotion channel that I left for all of you …" Alan's voice was very gentle, penetrating into the ears of those disappointed students. After that, he straightened his body, "As for why I want all of you to learn these protective magic against physical properties …"
Allen's pause successfully diverted the attention of the young wizards from the previous topic to him.
"As everyone knows, our cooperation with the Muggle is getting closer and closer. Many wizards who are not Muggle have also started to move around in the Muggle world. It's true that the Muggles do not have magic, but just like the military documentaries shown on the wizard TV, they also have their own weapons … With the increasing activity of wizards in the Muggle world, I think it is necessary to teach you some ways to ensure your safety when you move around in the Muggle world …" Allen said solemnly. "Although the British Muggle government passed a law this year to prohibit private ownership of guns and one after another confiscated and destroyed civilian guns through redemption … But considering that the British Muggle has the same hobby of hunting as us, hunting guns are not included in the list … In the forest, it is not rare for wizards to be shot by Muggles as animals. Although we wizards can heal ourselves immediately as long as the shot is not fatal, I think in the current situation, it is my responsibility as your principal and the leader of the cooperation with the Muggle to give you more protection. That's why I want to teach you the next two defensive spells that were popular during the ancient war-torn Middle Ages but later became useless because wizards isolated themselves from the Muggle world."
