Chapter 38: Curses and Jinxes

Coven, who was pointed at by Professor David with his wand, was slightly stunned. He did not raise his hand. He turned around and wanted to see if the professor referred to his classmates behind him.

"Mr. Quinn." Professor David directly named him. "You answer my question."

"Yes, professor." Seeing this, Coven could only answer directly. "As far as I know, the basic spell of the control type also has 'Full Body Bind Curse', 'Leg Locking Curse', 'Containment Charm*', and some jinxes. Enchantments can also achieve control effects, such as.."

[*TL Note: The Full Body-Bind Curse (Petrificus Totalus), also known as the Body Freezing Spell, was a curse that temporarily paralyzed the opponent. Inexperienced or young wizards often used it in dueling.]

[*TL Note: The Leg-Locker Curse (Locomotor Mortis), also known as the Leg Locking Spell as a curse that bound the legs of the victim together.]

[*TL Note: Containment Charms (incantation unknown) were charms that were cast with the intention of containing an entity within something or an area.]

"That's enough." Professor David interrupted Coven and nodded with satisfaction. "Good answer."

This time, Professor David did not give Coven any extra points. Instead, he glanced at the students and said, "Mr. Quinn, for example, these spells are all basic control-type spells. Have you taken note of them?"

"Yes, Professor."

The students responded.

"Very good." Professor David continued, "In the face of different dangers, you have to use the most suitable spell to protect yourselves, such as this spider."

Professor David used his wand to control the big spider to float in the air. He said to the students, "This is Austrian jumping spiders. Because they have strong eight feet, they basically move in a jumping way. If you provoke them in the wild, their attack routes will be full of uncertainty."

"And facing this multi-legged magical creature, the most effective and most suitable spell..." Professor David glanced at everyone and asked, "Mr. Quinn's example just now, tell me, which spell is the most suitable to deal with them?"

"Obstacle Spell."

"Leg Locking Spell."

The students responded differently.

"Alright." Professor David interrupted the students and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Some people may not have a good brain. It is already so obvious. Someone actually answered the curse outside of the 'Leg Locking Spell'!"

The students who answered the other curses all shyly avoided the sight of the surroundings.

Professor David did not care about the emotions of the students and continued, "I have already reminded you very clearly. The multi-legged creatures naturally apply the corresponding curse based on their characteristics. Therefore, I will teach you the correct usage of the 'Leg Locking Curse' during this lesson."

"Locomotor Mortis!" Professor David read out the standard spell aloud. "Read it with me! Locomotor Mortis!"

"Locomotor Mortis..." The students began to read again.

After a few times, Professor David continued, "Remember the key points of waving the wand! Remember! Use the wand to draw circles. The circle is not too big. Otherwise, it will reduce the intensity of the spell."

He glanced at all the students again. Seeing that no one had slipped away, Professor David continued, "It is not advisable to practice magic spells in a rigid manner. Therefore, you have to try to activate the spell successfully under the threat of this jumping spider. Now..."

Professor David looked in the direction of Slytherin House, but after a moment of hesitation, he turned his eyes to House, Gryffindor.

"Gryffindor is the first."

Hearing this, Benedict Shark, standing first in the row, couldn't help but look frightened. He raised his wand and pointed it at the big spider on the ground.

Professor David didn't pay attention to Benedict Shark's expression. He didn't expect the other party to cast the spell in one go successfully. In Professor David's heart, he just wanted to let Coven, who performed well in the last class, as soon as possible, hoping that Coven could perform well again like in the last class.

Therefore, when he saw that Benedict Shark was alert enough, Professor David immediately released the control of the spell on the big spider.

The next moment, the big spider moved its eight legs slightly and suddenly jumped toward the students.

"The legs and legs are frozen!" Benedict Shark shouted nervously.

However, Benedict Shark misquoted the incantation due to stuttering, but his wand also did not draw circles. Instead, he stabbed the wand directly into the big spider in the air, as if he could release sword qi.

The result was self-evident. The big spider jumped to a distance of half a field After landing, it jumped again and could not breathe. It was already attracted by Benedict Shark's voice and pounced on the head of the other party. It was about to fall.

In the face of Benedict Shark's collapsing expression, Professor David used a spell in time to control the big spider in the air.

"Mom -" Benedict Shark was slow to react and looked into the eyes of the big spider suspended in the air for a long time. Then he broke down and shouted, tears filling his eyes.

Looking at Benedict Shark's retreating and dodging movements, as well as his terrified expression, the surrounding students couldn't help but burst into laughter. The students who were laughing at him seemed to have forgotten that they were previously part of the ranks of cowards.

At this time, Coven was helplessly dodging Benedict Shark in front of him. Because the other side was constantly retreating, his feet continuously stepped on Coven's shoes.

"Enough!" Professor David suddenly shouted, causing the classroom to quiet down instantly.

"If I hear your mocking laughter again, I will deduct ten points from each of you!" Professor David said sternly, "Remember, not everyone has seen magical creatures! Think about the first time you were attacked by magical creatures! You are not qualified to laugh at others!"

"Go to the side and calm down!" Professor David looked at Benedict Shark without any comfort. Then he looked at Coven and said, "Mr. Quinn, come forward."

Coven used his hand to block Benedict Shark's body and gently pushed him aside. Then he stepped forward and stood in front of the column.

While Professor David controlled the spider to float back, Coven felt helpless again. He didn't want to experience the feeling of a spider pouncing on his face. After all, his performance in the last class was outstanding enough. Who knew if Professor David had enough confidence in him and would not 'help' him?

He didn't want to face this uncertainty, so he could only successfully cast the spell, but in this way, Slytherin and the other children would probably be even more hostile to him.

Silently sighing, Coven collected his thoughts.

At this time, Professor David also pulled the spider back in front of him and then released the control without warning.

The next moment, the big spider pounced on the students again.

"His legs are paralyzed."

Coven did not use the 'Silent Casting' technique. Instead, he recited the spell with a straight face. At the same time, he remembered that he should not be too conspicuous. Therefore, he deliberately followed the professor's instructions and quickly drew a small circle on the wand.

As the tip of the wand emitted a glimmer, the spell quickly shot towards the spider in the air.

At the same time, the wand in Professor David's hand moved slightly...
