Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 392: No Close Combat

Grawp was in a bad mood when he woke up. He let out a deafening roar when his sleep was disturbed.

Hagrid didn't care and still shouted at him, "Grawp, I'm Hagrid, I brought you a friend!"

After being poked awake by Hagrid with a stick, the giant supported himself on the ground with one hand and struggled to stand up in a daze. His movement made the ground shake.

"Hey! Don't do that!" Hagrid's voice revealed a hint of helplessness. "That tree isn't getting in your way."

Grawp did not follow Hagrid's instructions and pulled out a large tree anyway. Other trees that he failed to pull out were broken or pushed down by him.

After getting rid of his morning grumpiness, Grawp stood up. As a purebred giant, he was much taller than Hagrid, and much broader and stronger than him. His estimated height was between 6.5 and 7 meters.

"Hey, Grawp," Hagrid called out cheerfully, throwing back his head. "Look, I've brought a new friend."

The giant then noticed Hagrid and the tiny guy standing next to him. He lowered his rock-like head. Compared to his huge head, his green-brown eyes were not very big and there was a cloudy light in them. It was obvious that he was not very intelligent.

Thick ropes were tied to the giant's hands and feet on one side, and he tried to get rid of them irritably.

Seeing Sainz's eyes move to the rope, Hagrid quickly explained, "I had no choice. He didn't want to come with me, but I couldn't abandon him. Giants often kill each other, and he would be killed by them."

"Then how did he grow so big?"

"That was... that was his luck. When I found him, he was fighting." Hagrid avoided the question. "Don't worry about those ropes, you big clown. Look over here!"

The giant's attention was drawn to him, and his other free hand reached out towards Hagrid and the other man.

When Sainz saw the giant, he was evaluating the results of his "magic infusion", and the result was that there was still a big gap between him and the giant.

Just to pull up the tree he just casually pulled up, a rough estimate is that it took at least ten tons of force.

Taking into account that Grawp did not use his full strength, and considering the force with which he easily pushed down the tree, the force he could output with one hand should be around 20 tons.

Sai sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, innate talent is very important. The magic power that Sai dared not stop infusing into his body is still not as good as the natural growth of these giants. Of course, it is discouraging."

Looking at the giant who accidentally swept Hagrid to the ground, he laughed at himself again, "I'm too greedy. If the price of being physically strong is to become mentally retarded, I would definitely not be willing to do that."

Hagrid stood up, holding his chest, and explained awkwardly, "He...he's not like this usually. He's just too excited to see his new friends. Ahem, he doesn't know that his strength is a bit too great..."

Well, you actually have the nerve to talk about him. You and your brother are the same kind of people.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't grab people with your hands!" Hagrid shouted anxiously, breaking off a large branch and trying to hit the hand that was reaching out to Sainz, "Sainz, get out of the way!"

Without him shouting, Sai had already retreated to a safe distance. After realizing that his strength was still far behind that of the giant, he certainly would not be careless.

He assessed the degree of danger posed by the giants in his mind and felt that it was not that bad. With his current physical condition, he could still be no less dangerous than them even without using magic.

A fight is not a mechanical test of physical fitness. Sai can't stand the giant's slap, and the giant can't stand the weak attack of Sai's fist. If it is combined with a sharp sword, the threat of the giant will be even smaller.

Although Sai is physically strong, he has never thought about close combat. A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. He can easily kill the enemy from a distance but insists on close combat. How stupid he is.

Hagrid imitated Grawp's pounce and moved him to another forest with difficulty. "He doesn't like to stay in one place for too long. After a long time, he will push down all the surrounding trees. I have to find a rock big enough to fix the rope every time.

Sainz, let's go back and introduce you to each other later," Hagrid wiped the blood from his nose, "I'm teaching him to speak. He already knows my name is Hagrid, but he can't pronounce it clearly yet."

"You can see that he should be able to recognize you," Sainz said. "Like you said, he doesn't know how powerful he is. You have to teach him this, otherwise you will suffer."

"Hey, it's much better now," Hagrid seemed full of confidence in the future, "I believe in him, he will do it sooner or later. Well, that's all for today, let's go."

"Okay, do you want me to treat you?"

"Okay, thank you." Hagrid stood up quickly.

Sainz used his magic wand to heal his wounds, and the two walked back together.

"How often do you visit him?"

"Usually three or two days, if it's longer, maybe a week."

"Then you probably won't need me. I can always find some free time in a week."

"Just in case."

"You didn't bring him any food?"

"No, he can find food on his own, birds, wild boars, forest deer, etc. I'm just worried that he'll be lonely and often needs someone to chat with him."

"Look for it yourself?"

"Yeah, they can have cooked food or not," said Hagrid matter-of-factly. "They get their own food, they always do."

Damn, Hagrid, you are so smart!

No wonder your big brother is so irritable when he wakes up. He always beats you up. You tied him up and didn't give him food. It's already very kind of him not to catch you and eat you.

Pointing to the animals that have stumbled into their activity range, that's called relying on fate for your livelihood.

No wonder they have to change places frequently. I guess all the food in that area has been eaten up.

I discovered another strength of the giants: they can tolerate hunger!

They should have the ability similar to some animals that can sustain themselves for a week, a month or even longer with one meal.

Grawp's strength in hitting people gradually decreased, and it was hard to say whether it was not because he had not eaten enough for a long time.

"Hagrid, here's a suggestion for you. Bring a couple of pigs with you next time you visit him. Maybe he'll be able to pronounce your name more clearly."

Hagrid thought about it for a moment, "Okay, I'll try next time."

After returning to the castle, Hagrid had something to do, so Sainz returned to the Forbidden Forest.

"Glop, I have a lot of beef here, come and try it!"

Grawp obviously didn't listen at all. He stood up suddenly and reached out to grab it.

It’s certain that he was hungry and he regarded Sai as food.

"This is not right. There will be no rewards for naughty children!" Sainz waved his ebony wand, and several thick iron chains sprang out from the tall trees around him.

If children are disobedient, it is probably because they are spoiled, and a spanking will do the trick.

"Come, let Sai teach you what it means to respect those who are stronger than you."

Grawp's huge body was hung upside down in the air, and no matter how great your strength is, you can't use it.

His mouth was blocked by a thick iron chain, and Sai didn't like to hear the noise.

Since the giants have a leader, it proves that they know how to respect the strong!

Isn't it just animal taming? A slap and a sweet treat. He is familiar with this business. The three-headed dog Maomao was tamed in this way.

No matter what, everyone, listen up and beat me!
