"This time, Mr Lohat is here to interview for the position of professor for the Defense Against Black Magic class. But I think, according to the requirements, we may have to do some magic ability tests first."
Dumbledore stood up from behind his desk and waved his magic wand.
The space in the Principal's office suddenly became much bigger, almost the size of a duel arena.
Obviously, it was in preparation for Lohat's magic interview.
"Then, the content of the test this time will be a magic duel. Of course, it will not be me, but Professor Snape."
Dumbledore said a joke that was not very funny, and only Jon laughed along.
"Please go up, Mr Lohat, Professor Snape."
Dumbledore's politeness today was a little too much. Chown had never seen Dumbledore speak in such a polite yet awkward tone. Snape also looked surprised at this.
He was obviously not used to it.
"Actually, Professor Snape has always wanted to be the professor for the Defense Against Black Magic class, so Mr Lohat, you will be facing a very strong opponent."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, Jon and Lohat exchanged glances. His meaning was clear, it was for Lohat to fend for himself.
Although Jon was not very clear about Snape's abilities, but he knew that he was much stronger than Lohat.
To be able to receive such high praise from Helga, he would not be too bad.
But comparatively, Lohat was much worse. Although his actual combat abilities were not bad, he was not suitable for such an open duel.
A person who usually relied on sneak attacks or underhanded tactics to win would not be able to quickly adapt to a one on one duel.
If Jon was Lohat, he would most likely choose to give up at this time. He was very clear that Snape would not succeed in becoming the professor for the Defense Against Black Magic class, and Dumbledore would not agree to Snape becoming the professor for the Defense Against Black Magic class.
Therefore, no matter how they fought, Lohat would win in the end.
But Jon obviously couldn't say this right now. He was standing beside Dumbledore, and if he said this, it would be tantamount to undermining Dumbledore.
He wasn't that stupid.
After he exchanged glances with Lohat, the latter stepped onto the dueling platform.
In the Defense Against Black Magic class, the first thing to be taught was the students' defensive abilities. Only by successfully surviving the attacks of Black Magic would they have a chance to counterattack.
Therefore, what they had to face was how to defend against each other's attacks.
The two Wizard stood on the dueling platform, one on the left and one on the right. Neither of them made the first move.
They were waiting for Dumbledore to give the order to begin.
As Dumbledore nodded his head, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
There was no doubt that Snape's magic power was so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye. Streaks and streaks of magic flew out from his magic wand and were then blocked by Lockhart.
Although Jon's abilities had not reached the level where he could freely interfere in such a battle, but his judgment was enough to judge such a battle.
Right from the start, Snape was one-sidedly suppressing Lohat.
Chown glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing next to him. The headmaster, who had temporarily become the referee, was watching the duel in the field calmly without saying a word.
But even if he didn't say anything, Jon could see that his eyes revealed his admiration for Lohat.
What was there to admire?
Shouldn't he be admiring Snape's powerful battle abilities?
The duel ended very quickly. After Snape used a Shadowless Divine Blade Spell to cut Lohat's collar, the duel was declared over.
Dumbledore waved his magic wand and kept the dueling platform. The Headmaster's office once again returned to its original size.
"A very exciting battle."
He nodded at Snape, then looked at Lohat.
"But if you want to become the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I think, Mr Lohat, you, should appear a little weaker."
"What?"
Lockhart asked in confusion. However, Snape, who had come down together with him, was expressionless, as if he had already expected this result.
"I think the Headmaster has already made it very clear," This Head of Slythrin explained on behalf of Dumbledore, "You need to appear a little weaker, to the extent where you don't know anything at all."
This was really a request that was hard to accept.
Jon had actually already guessed what Dumbledore meant, but these words could only be said between the two of them when there was no one else around, and definitely could not be said now.
"I think you should already understand what I mean," Dumbledore blinked and looked at Lohat, "If you don't understand, I think you can think about it here."
"Then can I leave now?"
Snape looked at Dumbledore and stuffed his magic wand into his long robe.
Anyway, he was just a tool, and a tool needed to be used for a long time, he could not be used for everything.
Furthermore, "Snape pointed at Jon," Isn't there another tool here? "
"That's fine too."
After Snape exchanged glances with himself, Dumbledore nodded, "You can leave first, if there's anything else, we can talk about it in detail."
Hopefully not.
Snape looked coldly at Lohat, then turned and left the Principal's office.
"Then Mr Lohat, we can talk about the position now."
Lohat was confused by Dumbledore, if he could still be the Defence Against Black Magic professor after performing like this, then what was the purpose of the assessment just now?
"Probably to let you feel it."
"Didn't Dumbledore say that just now?" Jon's voice rang in Lockhart's ears, "Didn't Dumbledore just say that? You need to perform even more weakly. "
"But what's the benefit of that? As the Defence Against Black Magic professor, I need to teach the entire school's students, if I perform even slightly worse, it will not be a good thing for the entire school's students. "
"Oh, of course not."
Dumbledore shook his head.
"Jon strongly recommended you, saying that you are very suitable for this position, I thought you could fulfill this requirement."
"This … Of course, I can do that," Lockhart said tentatively. "I just want to show my inferiority. I don't care about my reputation. In fact, I came here for this purpose in the first place. However, I don't think that delaying the learning of all the students is a good thing."
