"I choose … the latter, Professor."
Jon's gaze was firm and his voice was low.
"A wise choice. But since you have chosen the option of suffering, you have to understand one thing, Mr Smith."
Snape said softly, "The most difficult part is not controlling, but … applying!"
With that, Jon's vision blurred and he fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
He almost fell flat on his face.
Her roommates were completely right about that.
"I'm sorry, Mr Smith, I just ambushed you."
When Jon got up from the ground, Snape was still standing at the same spot calmly. He waved his magic wand and showed Jon the water vapor that was slowly dissipating. He shook his head slowly.
"But I have to say, your alertness is too poor, Mr Smith."
Jon looked at him expressionlessly, but his gaze gradually became dangerous. Although he knew he could not win, how could he admit defeat without a fight?
And in his heart, Snape had already started to regain his detestable image.
"Professor, do you want to compete? Although I know you are trying to provoke me, but I will still be very angry. Also, Professor, you can just call me Jon. "
Jon wiped the dust off his face. He held his magic wand tightly in one hand and cracked his knuckles with the other. "And Jon is not someone who can be bullied by others."
"Is that so?"
Snape laughed coldly. A blinding light shot out from the tip of his magic wand without any warning. He did not even chant a spell and Jon's vision blurred.
Then, he felt a strong force crash into his chest.
Then, the young man's body fell to the ground and dust flew up.
— — This was a one-sided suppression.
But the moment he fell to the ground, Jon waved his hand and an icy blue light shot out from the tip of his magic wand. Along with Jon's low voice that was hidden in the dust, he chanted a spell.
"Petrify all of you!"
But Snape did not defend himself. He only took a step to the side and leaped away, as if he had predicted the trajectory of Jon's spell and narrowly avoided Jon's spell.
But before he could stabilize himself, Jon had already rolled on the ground and threw out a second spell.
"Chaotic Bourbon!"
He was not a kid who could be bullied by others. After being trained by Helga for so long, he had trained himself to adapt to the situation in battle.
Being hit by the strengthened version of a confusion spell would definitely not be a good feeling.
But the moment his spell left his hand, he bounced up.
Jon's eyes widened as he watched the spell that he was about to throw at Snape fall into the ground.
"Obviously, Smith … Jon, you're not good at fighting wizards at all. A wizard duel of this level is like child's play."
A child's play is nothing more than a child's play, "Snape said as he walked to Jon's side and looked at Jon, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
Of course, he was giving pointers. Following Snape's footsteps, Jon gradually calmed down.
Something was not right … Even if he was being suppressed, he had to have a target. He did not see Snape at all.
It was as if Snape already knew what he would do in advance.
"It's not foresight, it's feeling. Look at me."
Jon's eyes lit up and he raised his head slightly.
Under the bright moonlight, Snape did not appear to be abnormal. But if one looked closely, one would see that there were over ten blurry water lines floating around him and slowly dissipating …
And the traces left behind by the water lines in the air — actually covered the entire field!
He suddenly understood.
Just like how he was able to use the water lines to block Stephen's "Clear Water Like Spring", the water lines were mainly used to sense and capture. As long as they were used well, even magic could be captured.
"Not bad, you are very smart. You have already sensed this after only two rounds, but this is not enough."
Snape raised his wand and said, "Everything I know comes from you. Then guess, how did I know? "
The next moment, Snape waved his magic wand and the water lines that were gradually dissipating around him became clear again. This time, Jon saw that most of the water lines around Snape were mainly distributed around him. There were even a few that were entangled around his limbs.
— It was just that he had not noticed it all along.
"There is a lot of water vapor in the air. It is not bad that you can make the water vapor appear, but …" Snape said coldly, "The real use of the water vapor is not to make it appear. What you need to do is to turn the water lines that appear into nothingness. This will not only allow you to control magic and strengthen the stability of your foundation, it will also increase your control and detection ability of the water lines."
"Is that so?"
Jon was deep in thought. "Like this?"
It was like water coming in from the outside and then going out. Although it was still water, there was already a difference in nature.
The water vapor was the same. After it disappeared into nothingness, the perception ability brought by the clear water lines did not disappear.
He lowered his magic wand and controlled the pitiful amount of water vapor around his body to completely dissipate.
But in the formless air, his perception ability was greatly enhanced until he touched Snape's body.
To defeat magic with magic, he had to use [Poseidon] to defeat [Poseidon].
It was like touching Snape's body with his own hands. He could actually feel Snape's heartbeat, and …
Jon was suddenly stunned.
He actually … felt the flow of Snape's magic?
"Is it very strange?"
Snape laughed coldly. "This is the real use of [Poseidon]. In the Age of Darkness, there were dangers everywhere. The support brought by [Poseidon], the strengthening of those formless water lines, is not the Wizard's sense of touch, but the Wizard's perception.
It allows the dangers in the dark to be seen clearly. It allows the opponent's every move and even the ripples of magic to be seen clearly.
Since you have understood this, then I have to congratulate you. You have already mastered it. "
In the next second, there was a soft sound.
Snape raised his magic wand and released a spell without warning.
Petrification Spell!
Jon's expression changed and he almost did not react in time. But it was too late and he naturally fell for it.
It should not be, he could clearly feel Snape's magical ripples. Even when Snape was completely defenseless, he could clearly see the flow of magic. But in the feedback, it was the flow of magic and Snape did not move at all.
"Silent incantations and stable casting are essential skills for a mature Wizard. It is normal that there is no flow of magic, because any graduated Wizard can use very little magic to activate magic. To deal with this situation, you need to learn — Deconstruction."
"Deconstruction?"
