“Eh? Is it… finally over…”

As the Hogwarts' end-of-class bell rang, Grindelwald and Professor Dumbledore successively announced the end of the lesson.

The students, immersed in the dueling, slowly stopped, dazedly picked up their wands from the ground, and walked out of the classroom holding textbooks they hadn't even opened, like soulless shells.

However…

As the wind in the corridor brushed across their faces, the young wizards finally came back to their senses.

Immediately, various discussions erupted like a dam breaking. Most students excitedly talked about the rounds of duels that had just occurred, each eagerly sharing their unforgettable experiences.

"Did you see? I knocked down at least ten people just now!"

"Heh, all I know is that you were immediately taken down by Big Sister!"

"I, I actually shot at Professor Dumbledore so many times… Oh my god!"

"Big Sister is really strong! Her spells are already at a professor level, right?!"

"Speaking of which, didn't you guys notice Luna? She could almost always last until the end."

"Actually, I admire Hannah more… I accidentally got hit by one of Professor Apocalyps's spells, that kind of pain really goes deep into the bones. Hannah was able to withstand so many, and even sang to provoke the professor."

Looks like…

This year's little wizards have quite a high mental resilience. There's no need to consider PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) for the time being. Perhaps some of the upcoming training and courses can be made a little more difficult by Grindelwald?

Elena silently picked up her wand from the ground, not joining the discussion of the students ahead.

However, before that, she might have to re-evaluate the combat power of Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

Although from the results, it seemed that she and the two old wizards had fought to a draw, Elena did not feel that she had really reached a position of equality with the top combat power of the wizarding world.

In fact, through this lesson, she had seen the gap between herself and those two Dark Lords more clearly.

For example, the mass Disarming Charm that Grindelwald released at the end of the class – she didn't even have time to react, and her wand flew out directly. If it had been a lethal spell, the effect would have been mostly the same.

Not to mention, whether it was the silver shield that Dumbledore showed later, or the light curtain that Grindelwald used to "format" the effectiveness of spells when setting up this "game," they were both top-notch super magic.

Undoubtedly, she had a long way to go before she reached the level of the top wizards in the magical world—she finally understood the meaning of Grindelwald's reprimand by the campfire. If she was careless, she might really be rubbed on the ground by Voldemort.

But come to think of it, Old Spud seemed very angry in this class, but he didn't really show too much strength.

Every time their persistence time improved, it was just a few seconds difference…

It was as if with a little more effort, they could reach the goal…

If nothing went wrong, she was still being played by these two old Dark Lords…

As if sensing the disappointment in the white-haired ball's heart, Hannah, Luna, Hermione, and others standing around Elena couldn't help but fall silent, stop walking, and look at Elena with some concern.

"Are you okay, Elena?"

Hermione looked at Elena nervously and asked in a low voice.

"It's just writing a paper. We can go to the library to find information together later. Next time we can definitely beat Professor Dumbledore and them—and we only lost half of it anyway…"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Elena shook her head and pointed to the headmaster who was arguing with Grindelwald in the classroom.

"It's just that I'm sure Professor Dumbledore will definitely not come in to listen next time. So our goal is just Professor Apocalyps alone—this time he won, but… there's still so much time, no rush."

Luna glanced at Elena with a slightly uneasy expression. She always felt that something was wrong.

"Elena-jie, do you and Professor Apocalyps have—?"

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from behind them.

The girls subconsciously stopped their discussion and turned around, only to see Professor Dumbledore and Grindelwald had ended their argument, and the two were walking quickly towards them, looking like they had something important to say.

The four girls looked at each other, their eyes filled with some fear—after all, just a few minutes ago, they were bombarding these two old men with spells, and Hannah looked like she was almost completely hiding in Hermione's shadow.

However, unless she cast a Disillusionment Charm on herself, it was impossible to disappear from Grindelwald's sight.

"Amazing. I must admit, you are more talented than I imagined."

Grindelwald smiled, unexpectedly not looking at Elena, but turning his gaze to [Hannah · Iron-Headed · MT · Abbott] who was shrinking at the back, and said softly and gently.

"Miss Abbott, could you come to my office later? It's in Professor Quirrell's old office. I have something I want to talk to you about alone… Don't worry, it's not bad…"

Long ago, Grindelwald knew that Elena was different from most lone dark wizards; she had many friends.

But only after today's series of confrontations did Grindelwald finally shift his attention from Elena to the little guys gathered around the girl.

Unknowingly, Elena had gathered many wizards with excellent potential around her.

Compared to the somewhat clever Hermione, and Luna, who he couldn't quite see through, from Grindelwald's point of view, he appreciated Hannah Abbott more for her strong resilience and extremely high execution ability—anyway, the first Dark Lord would never admit that he would be angry at a girl's nonsense.

Hannah shuddered, quietly tugged on Elena's sleeve, and let out a plea like a mosquito's buzz.

"Elena, what should I do…"

Iron-headed doesn't equal silly. She's just a little slow to react.

After this period of time, Hannah finally realized what she had done before. Although she didn't understand what was wrong with the sentences Elena had taught her, it was clear that they were all things that made Professor Apocalyps very angry.

"Don't be afraid, it's not a big problem, I'll accompany…"

Elena subconsciously held Hannah's hand and squeezed it, comforting her in a low voice.

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, noncommittally, as he watched the girls holding hands.

"Sorry, Miss Kaslana, can I talk to Hannah alone?"

The first Dark Lord turned to look at Elena and said meaningfully,

"Don't worry, I'm not going to bother with a little one's unintentional offense… But you must admit that she has a high probability of being dragged into certain things by you. I think, at least she needs to understand something… just in case…"
