Chapter 223 “The title was thrown away by the workers”
The rules of the arena competition are the same as last year, but there is an additional challenge event in the second round. Of course, the only person who can be challenged is Kerry. Before that, the challenger still had to pass the first event of the magical creature defense challenge.
The first and second graders will basically challenge the mutant Acromantula Lucali, while the third graders will basically challenge Chengfeng from the Chenghuang clan in the East. Students in the fourth grade and above will choose to challenge the mutant Acromantula Lucali based on their own abilities. Challenging the giant monster Winpi, the dementor Sass, and the hippogriff Orlando, all the seventh graders chose the strongest boss, the basilisk Gilman.
The first-year students, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students were not aware of the events of last year's Arena Tournament. They only knew that it was this year's forced challenger Kerry who promoted the first Arena Tournament. The winner of last year's championship was a Slytherin student, but the rest are not very clear.
Colin Creevey's younger brother, Dennis Creevey, heard about the achievements of the seniors from his brother last year. Now he is bragging about it with his friends, attracting many first-year students. Students came to listen, and even a few Durmstrang students heard the news.
The most passionate thing that the students in Durmstrang heard was Neville's battle. Because their school also worships melee combat, Neville has become their most anticipated opponent.
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically on the lawn who they should face in the first round and what tactics they should use. They took out the battles of the challengers from the previous year for analysis.
The most unhappy and least expected person in Hogwarts right now is Kerry. Originally, he could lie down under the stage and eat snacks while watching the monkeys in the ring like he did last year. Bah, they are handsome guys and beautiful girls. They had a wonderful battle on the stage, but now that he has become a member of the stage, his leisurely days disappeared, and his life suddenly turned gray.
"Kerry, what's wrong? You look very sad!" Draco said sarcastically, looking at Kerry's crying face.
"Don't mess with me, or if you meet me in the ring, I will make you cry." Kerry glared.
"It's impossible. I've made great progress. Although I may not be as good as you, but you can't easily defeat me." Draco raised his fist.
"Don't think about whether you can win or not. Just pray that you don't meet me before the finals. If I shoot out two wands at the same time, you won't be able to last more than a few seconds." Ron's arrogant voice sounded.
Over the past year or so, his ability to cast magic with two wands has greatly increased his confidence. However, he does have arrogance. Now his rapid spell-casting attack with two wands is not comparable to that of the same level. Seniors can withstand it. There are not many people living there, but his shortcomings are also obvious. He cannot last long. The two wands consume the magic power too quickly. Once blocked by the opponent for a certain period of time, he will definitely lose.
"It's hard to say, Ron!" Harry said loudly, "We know you too well. It's hard to say whether you defeat us faster or your magic power is consumed faster!"
"Really? Let's not wait for the competition, let's go on stage and have one now? Harry!"
"I can't ask for it!"
"Don't let it go! The first round is tomorrow, save your energy and pass the first event first!" Neville advised in a panic. Without a sword, he is just a silly little fat man. If he does not act calmly, he will not be decisive.
Hermione, who was reading a book seriously, was so noisy that she couldn't calm down. She rolled her eyes at a few people. "childish!"
The next day, the first round of the competition officially began. The first-year students were very nervous. They had only learned magic for less than a year and had never used it in actual combat. Fortunately, their opponent was the kind and lovely Luca. Li, Lucali will give them some water more or less.
This year's hot contestants still have a place for our two Cedric and Neville, as well as our two brave men from outside schools, Fleur and Krum. As for Kerry, bah, he is already the public enemy of boys, and Most girls would not approach him easily because of Hermione's presence.
The game was going on very enthusiastically, and our commentator Mr. Jordan was also enthusiastic about the commentary.
The first ones to come on stage were all very confident. For example, our Ron held two magic wands and faced Orlando directly. Although he was still a little embarrassed in the end, he passed the first round easily.
Among the magical creatures, the least popular ones are Gilman and Sass. One of them is too powerful, and the other is special. Only students who have mastered the Patronus Charm can effectively attack him. So the two of them spent most of their time on the stage watching the show.
The first round of competition was completed in two days. There were many more people who passed this year than last year. That’s because everyone gained a lot of practical experience after last year’s arena competition and became more proficient in the use of magic. , so the probability of passing is much higher.
On the high platform, Dumbledore, the three referees and a group of professors were all discussing the first round of the competition that had just ended. Of course, snacks in hand were still essential, but it was all because Kerry led them away - look They have to eat snacks to play, so they now carry more or less snacks with them, and when they encounter something interesting, they will stop to eat and watch.
"These children of ours are all pretty good, right! Our practical abilities are much better than those of the previous students." He said while eating candies in equal proportions.
"Well, it's indeed very good. Our school also needs to hold this kind of competition, but we don't have magical creatures, which is a troublesome thing." Mrs. Maxim said.
"What's the matter? I can help you. Although I can't communicate with magical creatures, I can still train them not to be ruthless when fighting with children." Hagrid looked at her and said.
"Oh! My dear, you are really reliable!"
"Of course!"
Professors: "Uh..."
I was just watching a game, but ended up being fed dog food.
"This project is really good. If there was not only one druid in the magic world, Kerry, I would really promote this project." Bagman said with a smile.
"Even if there are no magical creatures, we can still hold similar competitions. Don't we in Durmstrang have no such magical creatures? But look at our Krum and Lake." Karkaroff said loudly, When it comes to face, he never lags behind others.
"That's right. Even if there are no magical creatures, we should still recommend children to participate in such competitions. This will help increase everyone's understanding and application of magic. Although it may also make some children hostile to each other, I believe that as long as there are outstanding Professor, this kind of thing can be avoided completely." Dumbledore looked at the professors behind him.
The professors straightened their backs and showed off their outstanding figures to Dumbledore.
