At this moment, somewhere on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Albert was adjusting his mentality and making final preparations. The next victory or defeat was very important to him.
As long as he defeated Professor Flitwick and completed the previously triggered task, he wouldn't have to worry about fighting dark wizards in the future.
Mission: Challenge the champion.

Besides that, there is another task that I would like to complete.

Reward: 20,000 experience points, 2 skill points, skill gained: Flitwick Dueling Technique.
"Mr. Anderson, are you ready?"
Professor Flitwick looked at his favorite student and was looking forward to the upcoming duel. He was well aware of Albert's potential and growth rate, and believed that it would not take long for him to become an excellent dueling master.
"I'm ready professor."
The two men walked towards the area they had cleared, and neither side intended to use the etiquette of wizard duel from the beginning.
If the enemy they were dealing with was a dark wizard, neither side would have the opportunity to do so.
The duel began without warning.
If it were anyone else, they might be knocked down by the sudden stun spell or be put in a terrible state by a sneak attack.
However, Albert used the Armor Charm skillfully and gently deflected the oncoming spell. He looked so nonchalant, as if he had just waved his hand to drive away a mosquito.
While fending off the stunning spell, Albert did not forget to attack Professor Flitwick. It would not be enough to just focus on defense. He had to attack to disrupt the opponent's rhythm so as not to be suppressed and to get a chance to win.
A fireball flew towards Professor Flitwick. This was one of the most basic uses of the explosive spell, but Albert's magical power greatly enhanced its power.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous magic.
Before the fireball reached Professor Flitwick, he swung his wand and blew it away. A large tree on the right was blown in half by the spell and was the first to suffer the disaster.
Amid the sound of falling trees, the broken tree was suddenly pulled away by Albert using magic and fell directly towards Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick did not divert his attention, but simply waved his wand. The big tree that was coming at him suddenly stopped in mid-air, then flew in the opposite direction, breaking several small trees.
For a moment, dead leaves flew everywhere, and under the control of Professor Flitwick, they flew towards Albert, blocking his vision. Three spells were cast towards Albert under the cover of the flying leaves.
After his vision was blocked, Albert waved his wand to condense a thin shield in front of him to block the subsequent sneak attack.
He would do the same.
If you only use the Iron Armor Spell for defense, you will likely suffer a great loss.
Albert waved his wand and created a gust of wind, blowing the flying leaves in his field of vision towards Professor Flitwick, and used Professor Flitwick's method.
This should be considered as giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
Professor Flitwick waved his hand gently, and the strong wind suddenly stopped. Albert's spell was blocked by the flying leaves, and he staggered and suffered a small loss.
However, the counterattack came soon, and the flying leaves flew towards Albert from all directions like darts.
Albert raised his wand, like holding a torch high up, and a large ring of blazing fire leaped out from the tip of the wand, instantly engulfing the surrounding fallen leaves. Under Albert's control, the blazing flames rushed towards Professor Flitwick, and were about to completely engulf him.
The next moment, Professor Flitwick swung his wand like a sword, splitting the rolling flames in half, and controlled the formation of a fire shield in front of him to block Albert's attack from behind.
After a series of exciting attacks and defenses, the two men were unharmed, but all the surrounding trees were in trouble.
"Okay, Mr. Anderson, show us your true abilities!" Professor Flitwick kindly reminded, "If your opponent is a dark wizard, don't show mercy when dealing with him."
From the previous round of confrontation, it is not difficult to see that the two did not use their full strength. Perhaps they are just learning from each other's duel skills.
There was no other way, Albert had to delay, otherwise how could he complete the first task.
Sometimes wizard duels are very fast and may be over in a flash, but sometimes it is not easy to last even five minutes.
Albert adjusted his slightly rapid breathing rhythm, raised his wand and launched a new round of intensive attacks.
The explosive spell was not aimed at Professor Flitwick, but at his feet. Leaves fell everywhere and almost made Professor Flitwick stagger.
Albert took the opportunity to launch a new round of attacks, just as Professor Flitwick had taught him, fast, accurate, and ruthless, and each time more oppressive than the last. The continuous attacks put a lot of pressure on Professor Flitwick, and when he held his breath to hold on, he was almost blown away by the explosive spell again.
If Albert's attack had followed, Professor Flitwick would most likely have been defeated directly.
Unfortunately, Professor Flitwick was also an experienced duelling master and would naturally not give Albert such an opportunity.
The tree trunk that was originally broken into two pieces seemed to have long legs and suddenly stretched towards Albert. Its menacing appearance gave Albert, who was about to attack, a strong sense of oppression and directly disrupted his fighting rhythm.
Albert had never considered what would happen if he was hit by a big tree, and he didn't intend to try it himself. After using the Freezing Spell to freeze the tree, he threw it towards Professor Flitwick, and in the process blocked the spell flying towards him.
Looking at the big tree flying towards him, Professor Flitwick frowned and waved his wand to blow the trunk into pieces. The flying wood chips flew towards Albert like countless flying knives.
Albert took advantage of the situation and pulled, and all the wood chips that were originally flying towards him changed direction and flew towards the forest not far away, causing serious damage to the trees there.
Before he had time to look over there any longer, he felt danger approaching and had to dodge to the side.
The spell flew past Albert, and the big tree that was originally hit by Professor Flitwick's spell seemed to come alive, and its lush branches slapped towards Albert like a big hand.
"This looks like a Transfiguration spell no matter how you look at it!"
Albert was startled and pulled up the defensive barrier to cover himself in time. Looking at the branches outside hitting the barrier, Albert suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Although Professor Flitwick is the Charms professor, it doesn't mean that he only uses spells.
I almost got tricked.
I really can't be distracted at all!
Unfortunately, five minutes haven’t passed yet.
Albert planned to fight Professor Flitwick again after completing the first task. By then, he would have an extra skill and the chances of defeating Professor Flitwick would be higher.
The big tree was beating hard and was unable to do anything with the defensive barrier, but that didn't mean Professor Flitwick had no way to deal with the barrier.
He didn't know what spell he used, but he almost broke the defensive barrier.
If the spell falls on a person, that person will probably die on the spot.
Albert Apparated outside the attack range of the tree and used a crushing spell to blast the branch that was swinging towards him into powder.
Flitwick narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene, and became more and more confused about his student.
Of course, he recognized that it was the Shattering Spell, but the power of the spell seemed a bit too great. This was undoubtedly an advanced application of the Shattering Spell.
However, it does look exaggerated. Being able to achieve this level shows how powerful Albert's magical power is.
Albert waved his wand, and the powder condensed into several spears, stabbing at Professor Flitwick.
The half of the tree that had fallen to the side suddenly grew legs and blocked the spear. Professor Flitwick used the half of the trunk as a shield and fired magic at Albert, but it was easily blocked.
However, his attacks became increasingly fierce and heavy, forcing Albert to only be able to hold on temporarily.
The next moment, the two people's spells collided with each other, and they began the popular competition of magical powers.
There is no doubt that Albert's magical power is much stronger than Professor Flitwick's.
Flitwick didn't want to face his opponent's advantage, so he let the half tree trunk in front of him fly towards Albert, intending to interrupt the confrontation between the two directly.
The two men interrupted the confrontation at the same time, and Albert pushed the annoying tree away while gathering his strength to fire a spell at Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick seemed to sense the danger and formed a very thin shield in front of him. The spell hit the shield with a low sound and the shield cracked.
"Is this a cutting spell?"
Professor Flitwick recognized the spell for what it was, some advanced use of the Cutting Charm.
A normal Cutting Spell could accurately cut a cursed object according to the will of the caster, but no one had ever used the Cutting Spell to this extent.
This thing is no longer a cutting spell, but another very dangerous attack spell.
If an ordinary wizard was hit, his fate would probably be terrible. Just look at the cracks on the shield. If Albert had shouted a spell just now, the shield might have been broken.
"I dare say that most of the guys who call themselves spell masters would be so ashamed if they knew you could use these simple spells like this that they would find a way to hide in them."
Professor Flitwick temporarily repelled Albert and did not give him a chance to chase him, otherwise who knows what more dangerous spells would come out. He suspected that Albert had developed many spells in depth, otherwise it would not be easy to use silent spells so skillfully.
This way of fighting reminded him of Dumbledore.
A lot of magic becomes quite ingenious in Dumbledore's hands, because the headmaster of Hogwarts has mastered many advanced uses of magic.
However, Professor Flitwick was not angry about this. Instead, he was a little excited, as if the feeling of his youth had returned.
"Show me your true level, don't let me down." Professor Flitwick murmured.
The duel is still going on, and seems to be stuck in a long tug-of-war.
Professor Flitwick pushed very hard, as if he wanted to squeeze out all of Albert's potential and let Albert understand his own fighting style.
Of course, it was not enough for Albert to learn everything from the previous few classes, and now was a good opportunity.
Of course, Professor Flitwick actually enjoyed this feeling of blood boiling. He hadn't felt this way for many years, and he felt like he had become younger.
Albert had already learned the wizard duel skill, but unfortunately he had no time to upgrade it, and now he could only barely withstand Professor Flitwick's attack.
Although from the outside, the two may seem evenly matched, Albert knows very well in his heart that he is just fighting with all his might. Once he lets go of his breath, he will probably lose.
Just look at the surrounding trees that were destroyed due to the fight between the two people and you will know that the situation was completely out of control.
The commotion here eventually attracted Porter and his gang over.
To be honest, it was just because of the prolonged time and the loud noise, otherwise the group of people who were tricked by Albert would not be able to find their location at all.
“Oh my God!”
Looking at the two people casting spells against each other, Harry, Hermione and Ron were all stunned.
They had never imagined that a wizard duel would be like this, no wonder Fred, George and Lee Jordan wanted to come and be spectators.
If you don’t know, you might think the two are fighting to the death.
The two wands shot out bright lights, and the spells collided with each other. All the surrounding trees were in bad luck, and many of them were unlucky because of the rebound of the spells. Even the dead leaves on the ground showed signs of being ignited again.
"There is no doubt that their magic is from completely different worlds from the magic we use." Fred said as he looked at Albert who was fighting against Professor Flitwick.
A huge explosion blew up all the trees that were surrounding Albert. In the explosion, Professor Flitwick was completely fine. He was protected by a translucent protective barrier, but there were some cracks on the barrier.
"This power is terrifying. Isn't he afraid of killing himself?" Ron couldn't help swallowing.
"It's an Exploding Spell," Sirius muttered. "More powerful than when Peter faked his death."
Before everyone could recover from the explosion, the remaining flames on the ground suddenly grew larger and instantly rushed towards Professor Flitwick's protective barrier. Before the flames exploded, Professor Flitwick disappeared without warning.
Then Albert felt something strange under his feet, as if he had stepped into a swamp, and his feet actually sank directly into the ground.
Albert immediately waved his wand, erecting a protective barrier, and taking advantage of Professor Flitwick's attack to buy time to pull his general out of the ground.
"Oh my God, Professor Flitwick is really merciless." Ron whispered as he looked at Albert who was engulfed by the explosion.
"He's all right," said Lupin.
"How did he do that?"
"Apparate."
"What an amazing guy." Sirius doubted whether he could stand up to Professor Flitwick.
The intense battle was still going on, but the situation was becoming increasingly favorable for Albert, because he was young enough and had stronger magical powers, and he would definitely be able to last longer than Professor Flitwick.
Win by attrition.
It's a bit shameless, but it's for the sake of victory.
"Expelliarmus!"
Albert seized Professor Flitwick's weakness and successfully used the Disarming Charm. Professor Flitwick flew out along with his wand and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
“Win!”
Albert was in a good mood when he saw the task panel light up, but just as he was about to take a breath, he felt like something hit his body and flew backwards.
"this… "
The eight people in the sky were all staring at this scene in amazement.
So, Professor Flitwick finally turned the tables
"Even if you remove the opponent's weapons, don't let your guard down. Some wizards can still pose a threat to you even without wands, unless you completely subdue them." Professor Flitwick waved his hand to recall the disarmed wand, slowly walked towards Albert, and gave his final advice, "When dealing with an enemy, never let your guard down."
