As I said before, ever since he was a child, Thomas didn't think he was anything special.
Even later, he suddenly came to his senses and wanted to try harder while he still had a little bit of momentum. But the ambition he showed was nothing more than a certificate as a senior breeder and a better job.
But now, Thomas is no longer so sure about whether he is so special.
Maybe... maybe he really has some special points that are beyond ordinary people, and even he himself has never discovered them.
For example, he actually has the unexpected talent of "being able to cast a powerful disarming spell when facing enemies"
"laugh-"
While thinking this, Thomas ran out of the alley and smiled bitterly to himself - what kind of special ability is this? It sounds so stupid!
However, it happened that it was such a seemingly stupid guess that he had to believe.
Because just now, he accidentally cast a super powerful disarming spell in an emergency. For some reason, he had an impulse and waved his wand again before leaving the corner of the alley.
That's no accident! It's really not an accident!
At that moment, he actually successfully cast a dazzling crimson arc of magic light again, knocking the enemy who had just climbed up away again!
Why? How did you do it? Thomas didn't know.
He only knew that his life might really be about to undergo a huge change.
"But... why did I want to try again so impulsively just now? Why was I still able to wave my staff and recite the spell so calmly when I saw the crazy wizard getting up from the ground?"
If that impulse happened to others - such as those brave Gryffindors and proud and confident Slytherins, Thomas would definitely not feel any surprise.
But just now, the person who cast the second disarming spell so calmly was the one who was always timid and reluctant to make decisions.
Where did that confidence come from
I don't know why, but Thomas only felt that it was particularly weird even though he had cast powerful spells twice in a row that were beyond his expectation. It was as if... I suddenly no longer was myself, but was possessed by something else.
Wu Zi shook his head. He stopped thinking about it for the time being. It was better to run away first. Although the two disarming spells just were powerful, they only knocked the crazy wizard away. At the moment, it was best for him to run far away and avoid that guy before thinking about other things later.
Before he knew it, Thomas had run a long distance and completely escaped the terrifying mad wizard.
However, as the saying goes, it goes down after one wave and rises again after another.
Just when Thomas was trying to find a place to hide, take a breath, and find a Muggle to ask for directions, an exclamation suddenly sounded from behind a house on the street, which made his heart tremble immediately.
Is trouble coming again
With Thomas' temperament, the first reaction at this moment should be to turn around and run away - the low voice sounded like a woman's voice. Maybe a Muggle woman was attacked, but this meant that he had to save him. person
No, he doesn't want to die either!
After finally escaping near-death situations again and again, he wanted to return home safely to be with his wife and children.
Thomas is not a cold-blooded person, but his kindness can only be shown to some abandoned, cold and hungry kittens and puppies.
At this time, all he could do was leave in silence... Yes, that's how things should be.
However, just when Thomas gritted his teeth and turned around, intending to stay away from this place of right and wrong, another impulse that came from nowhere suddenly "gushed out" from the bottom of his heart.
Why should I run? I am no longer the person I used to be, and there is no need for me to run away!
Inexplicable emotions swelled in Thomas's heart, driving him step by step around the Muggle house and into the small yard behind the house.
Then, he saw a scene that he had almost expected.
It can be seen that in the messy yard, potted flowers that should be in full bloom are scattered all over the ground, and a low wooden fence is crooked on the lawn. A figure was standing silently in the middle of the lawn, the wand in his hand already ripples with the permeating green.
And in the corner of the yard near the house, a young woman about the same age as Thomas's wife sat on the ground and kept walking backwards.
The wet mud and dust on the ground had stained her skirt and palms a dirty mottled brown.
What's more worth mentioning is that, right between the mad wizard and the woman, a man was lying on his back on the grass. He had lost all strength, his chest and abdomen were stained red with blood, and the broken ribs could even be vaguely seen in the wound.
Even if his chest was still floating slightly, it was obvious that he wouldn't live long.
"... Don't come here! You... help..."
Perhaps because of excessive fear, even the woman's cry for help seemed a bit muffled and she couldn't scream at all. If it weren't for the relative quiet here, Thomas might not have been able to hear what was going on here just now.
But just when Thomas appeared here and saw the green light looming in the hand of the mad wizard, he subconsciously raised his wand and waved it.
"Expelliarmus—"
"Bang!"
The red arc of light cut through the air, spanning most of the yard from the stone road where he was, and quickly fell towards the crazy wizard with his back turned to him.
Last time I was able to knock the enemy away twice in a row just because the two sides were too close, but this time it was obviously different.
As if he had eyes on his back, he suddenly rolled to the side and narrowly escaped the powerful disarming spell.
The green light that lingered from the tip of the wand was forced to dissipate as he moved, but then a ray of fire came straight towards Thomas.
The opponent's counterattack came surprisingly quickly.
"Damn... what kind of curse?"
While Thomas tried his best to dodge to the side, he secretly complained about his student self - even if his talent was not good, he shouldn't have given up like that!
If he could listen well in class and stop copying other people's answers when doing homework, he should at least be able to identify what the curse is now, and he wouldn't be blinded like he is now.
"boom!"
The next second, Thomas, who was running away in embarrassment, heard a violent explosion from where he was standing. The gravel and soil thrown up by the powerful impact splashed all over him.
Damn it, why are you trying to show off by running all over the place? Just two disarming spells, and you are so crazy that you can't even remember how much you are capable of
Seeing the green light on the opponent's wand light up again, Thomas just wanted to run away, as far as possible... Although, he wasn't even sure whether he could run away.
But at this moment...
"Avadazo—" "Bang."
An insignificant crash suddenly interrupted the spell that the other party was about to complete, causing Thomas, who had just gotten up from the ground, to look up in a hurry.
Then, he saw that the young woman who was so scared that she could barely cry out for help actually held a stone in her hand and threw herself on the crazy wizard.
"Kill him! Quick... I hit him! Please, avenge my husband and children-"
"Flying sand and flying rocks!"
Just as the woman was pressing the other party hard and shouting loudly, the mad wizard turned his wand and cast a blowing spell with his backhand. Immediately, she was hit by the powerful impact and flew into the air, and then landed heavily on the messy lawn.
Fortunately, it was moist and soft grass. If it had been a brick floor not far away, this heavy fall would have been enough to take away half of her life.
However, it was probably the woman's desperate attitude that stimulated Thomas's heart, and some inexplicable emotion ignited his anger.
The next moment, he waved his magic wand vigorously and ran forward while roaring:
"Expelliarmus!"
It's still a disarming spell, and it's still a spell cast without missing a single syllable - no way, he doesn't know the skills of silent spells. This clumsy and ordinary way of casting spells represents the mediocre half of his life.
However, the mediocrity of the spell was in sharp contrast to the dazzling arc of light that burst out from the tip of the staff.
I could only see the arc-like red magic beam sweeping across the grass, causing the dirt and turf to fly left and right. When the mad wizard decisively chose to dodge, Thomas imitated the action demonstrated by the professor in his memory and swung his wand, and saw the light arc slanting into the opponent's dodging position as he moved.
I remember Professor Flitwick once said that this technique is not clever, but it requires a strong enough mental will to support it. Only a wizard who can fully control the spell can do this.
But somehow, at this moment, Thomas felt that it was natural for him to be able to do it.
"Bang!"
The impact was even more powerful than the previous ones, knocking the opponent away in an instant, and the wand in the opponent's hand also spun in the air and flew towards Thomas.
He raised his head and glanced at the wand, and then reached out to catch it, but who knew that when he raised his arm halfway, the wand hit his forehead with a "snap".
"oh!"
Thomas covered his forehead and screamed in pain.
Of course, now is not the time to relax. Although the disarming spell just now was more powerful than ever, judging from the performance of those crazy wizards, it was not enough to defeat the opponent.
But now that guy has no wand, let’s see what else he can use to fight with himself! No matter how crazy you are, a toothless beast is nothing to be afraid of, right
"...Uh, isn't it?"
Thomas was stunned when he saw the other person running towards him with his mouth open and drooling.
