The unanimous answers, coupled with their expectant eyes, made Hermione feel completely overwhelmed.

"Yi Shuihan is the most handsome."

After quickly reciting that sentence, Hermione looked up at the sky and remained silent.

"Tell us the spell!"

Ron and Hermione were puzzled as to why Hermione would praise Yi Shuihan at this moment, and were slightly surprised, but they did not think that this was the curse they had imagined.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"When did you say that? You didn't say it just now!"

"No, she said one thing."

"Could that be...?"

Chapter 570, Confirmation of Participating Teams

Harry and Ron understood what Hermione had felt before, and the three fell into a brief silence.

"Haha, well, I've heard that some powerful wizards even have names that contain great power. Look at the mysterious man's name, isn't that why no one dares to speak of it? Maybe Yi Shuihan is one of them."

Ron spoke somewhat reluctantly.

"Yes!"

Harry seemed relieved and nodded.

If Yi Shuihan were here, he would definitely give Ron a thumbs up; what a talent!

Hermione looked at Harry and Ron speechlessly. This understanding was really good and powerful. Anyone with a brain could tell that this was definitely a prank!

"Are we really going to write this sentence a hundred times?"

"But how can we write it down?"

"Just take a large sheet of paper."

"But wouldn't that be too strange, what if someone found out..."

"I know a spell that can be used to disguise oneself."

“Great, choosing you as a teammate was absolutely the right decision, Hermione.”

"I'll handle the magic; you can write this sentence."

"..."

Finally, Ron and Harry played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would write it. Unfortunately, under Harry's protagonist halo, Ron could only lose and numb himself with Galleons, writing the profound saying "Yi Shuihan is the most handsome".

Even with the magic applied, the three were still worried, so they simply threw the registration form into the Goblet of Fire when there were the fewest people around.

If you ask why, given the circumstances, I didn't choose a quiet time when no one was around, the answer is that I simply couldn't do it.

This tournament has become incredibly popular, with almost every student participating, so there are always people signing up in front of the Goblet of Fire.

Originally, Yi Shuihan only gave one day for registration, but Dumbledore, the Queen, and others insisted that one day was not enough, so they extended it to three days.

Then Yi Shuihan saw that, apart from Hogwarts, the teams from other schools had grown considerably in the two days that followed, and the auras around them had also changed.

What made Yi Shuihan both amused and exasperated was that some people who weren't students also signed up, seemingly hoping to be selected in the hopes of being chosen.

The expansion of the teams from various academies is not hard to guess; it's simply that some powerful figures didn't come initially, but only came after learning about the generous rewards.

Of course, some people had their own agendas, but no one thought of directly robbing these things from the Multiverse Research Institute. Even though they knew that if they succeeded, their gains would be a hundred times greater than the rewards from the tournament, it was impossible for the Multiverse Research Institute, which could offer these things as rewards, to only have this much.

But would they dare to do that? Go against the Myriad Realms Research Institute and Yi Shuihan?

Didn't you see that even Voldemort obediently became a commentator? They genuinely don't have the guts to go looking for trouble with someone more powerful than Voldemort.

It must be said that Yi Shuihan's act of having Voldemort appear and demonstrate his abilities had a significant effect. At least many people in the magical world gave up the idea of ​​forcibly taking it. As for the Queen and others outside the magical world, they had witnessed Yi Shuihan's ability to make the Queen younger with a mere flick of his wrist, so naturally they wouldn't risk losing more than they gained. Besides, even if they wanted to, they would need the ability to bring an army over. Would Yi Shuihan be unaware of such a large commotion?

In short, for various reasons, everyone simply ignored the idea of ​​forcing their way in; it was just a matter of using some tricks within the established rules.

"After three days of registration, I think no one has missed this rare opportunity. So now let's see who the real protagonists are, and who our warrior team consists of?"

Burning with blue flames, like a goblet of fire that would never go out, the flames began to change as Yi Shuihan spoke. The calm flames began to intensify, and then a piece of paper with some scorch marks was ejected.

Yi Shuihan stretched out his hand, and the paper floated lightly into the center of his palm.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and pricked up their ears, waiting for Yi Shuihan to announce the results with the anticipation of buying a lottery ticket.

At this moment, knowing everyone's feelings, Yi Shuihan didn't hesitate and announced, "Congratulations to the Hibiscus Squad, where Hibiscus Delacour of Beauxbatons is located."

In the Beauxbatons College area, Fleur and the two equally beautiful girls beside her looked up in surprise and stood up excitedly.

"Hibiscus, hibiscus..."

Amid cheers from the students of Beauxbatons College, three young women walked shyly onto the stage.

At this moment, countless people couldn't help but look on with envy and jealousy.

The flames of the Goblet of Fire stirred again, the noisy sounds disappeared, and the scene repeated itself. A piece of paper flew into Yi Shuihan's hand once more.

"Please come to the stage, the Flying Eagle Squad, which includes Payne from the Royal Magic Academy of England."

Three handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed guys walked up to the stage, heads held high, amidst cheers from their classmates.

"The national team of Durmstrang's Viktor Krum is here."

Another chorus of shouts for Krum rang out as Krum approached with two tall, strong, and aloof companions who were clearly powerful figures.

Six teams have been formed, half of them have been decided. Half of the students present are heartbroken, as they had hoped to receive a reward, but now that hope is gone.

"What a coincidence, there are actually two of them among the participants."

Yi Shuihan could swear that he absolutely did not cheat, but Furong and Krum still became contestants.

"Is it the power of the supreme god, or is it fate manipulating all of this?"

After a moment of reflection, he continued to announce the selected teams.

"The fourth one, it's finally our Hogwarts' turn. The team favored by our Goblet of Fire is our main characters, Harry Potter. Bring your friends up here."

Because of their different relationship, they naturally had to talk more. Yi Shuihan's involvement was no small matter, and Harry and his group were sure to win. Therefore, the three who were prepared appeared relatively calm, but that was all they were really doing.

"Well, I feel a little bad for Cedric Diggory, but in the original story he died because of this, so I guess you could say I saved him."

Chapter 571, First Challenge: Hatching Magical Creature Eggs

Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, walked onto the stage amidst the envious gazes of many Hogwarts students, especially Slytherin's Malfoy, whose resentment was almost palpable.

As Hermione passed by Yi Shuihan, she gave him a knowing look, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Yi Shuihan hadn't lied to her about this.

"It's actually three kids, which makes the pressure of competing for the championship much less."

People from other schools were overjoyed to see Harry and his two companions become contestants. After all, on the surface, Harry and his friends were younger than the others, which meant they weren't stronger. A weak opponent was definitely more welcome than a strong one.

Things proceeded smoothly thereafter, with the Cambridge Magic Academy's doctoral team and the Oxford high-energy team both making it into the top six of the final competition.

The six teams that will compete in the final six tournament have now been finalized. The official competition will begin in three days, with each team having one day for interviews and one day to prepare for the first round.

"Speaking of which, Harry, you really dare to name it that 'Protagonist Squad'." Hermione and her two companions had just finished confirming the cast members when they approached Yi Shuihan, seemingly wanting to ask him for a favor.

Harry scratched his head, a little embarrassed by Yi Shuihan's teasing. To be honest, he would never have chosen such a flashy team name if Ron hadn't encouraged him.

Objectively speaking, the team's name is perfectly appropriate; on the contrary, it is very realistic.

"We're going to win the championship, so of course we're the main characters," Ron said shamelessly from the side. He was clearly a drag on the team, but he spoke so confidently that Yi Shuihan had to admire his courage.

"Speak, what do you want from me? If it's to thank me, then there's no need. As a friend, I can help with this little thing."

Hermione and Ron both looked at Harry upon hearing this, clearly expecting him to speak.

Under the watchful eyes of his two friends, Harry reluctantly said to Yi Shuihan, "Um, could you tell us in advance what the first challenge is? You know we're the weakest of the six teams. If we don't have any other advantages, we'll really just be bystanders."

"The weakest?" Yi Shuihan glanced at Hermione subconsciously and, finding nothing amiss, realized that Hermione probably hadn't told Harry her true strength.

Contrary to Harry's claim that they were the weakest, the main character team with Hermione was actually the main character team, and their overall strength was the best among the six teams.

However, since Hermione herself didn't say anything, Yi Shuihan wouldn't say anything either.

"For the first hurdle, there's not much difference between one day and two days of preparation time, but since you've come to me for help, there's no harm in telling you."

Harry and the other two were excited by Yi Shuihan's answer, and they pricked up their ears, staring intently at him.

The next moment, Harry and his two companions looked surprised, because Yi Shuihan in front of them did not speak, but his voice rang in their minds.

"Hatching is the first challenge. We will provide six common pet eggs, and then draw lots to determine who gets which one. You will then have one hour to hatch them. Your score will be determined by whether you succeed and the time it takes to hatch them."

The content of the first challenge completely baffled Harry and Ron. They had absolutely no knowledge of this subject and were practically blind to it.

"This is incredibly difficult. Anyone who doesn't particularly love magical creatures probably couldn't do it!"

Ron complained, feeling like he couldn't be of any help at all.

Harry was taken aback by the sight of something grand and impressive right from the start, while Hermione, though surprised, remained calm.

"Hey, what's with that expression? Since you signed up for this tournament, you should be prepared to face difficulties. This time, because I'm the organizer, the danger has been reduced quite a bit. This level of difficulty was actually considered easy before. In the past, if several people didn't die in the top three tournaments, it wouldn't be considered a battle of the strong."

Yi Shuihan pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded Harry and Ron, making them lower their heads in embarrassment.

In fact, neither of them knew what the previous championship was like, and they hadn't thought that far ahead. They were only after the incredible rewards, thinking that as long as they were selected, it wouldn't matter if they came in last place.

However! Now that they've actually been selected, that thought has disappeared. The pressure from their classmates makes them realize that if they really get last place, they probably won't be able to hold their heads up in school anymore, which would be really pathetic. That's why they have the idea of ​​being proactive and striving for a good ranking.

"Could you tell us what those six creatures are?"

Hermione asked, although she had dabbled in the hatching of magical creatures, she was not an expert. Of course, with two days to prepare, she could grasp the basics and be confident in dealing with this challenge, but that was just theory. It would be difficult to actually put it into practice. If she could learn the specifics of the six creatures from Yi Shuihan, she could conduct targeted research and be more confident.

Hermione's words made Harry and Ron realize that if the range was narrowed down to six, memorizing them would still be effective.

"Well, I don't really know either."

"Liar? How could you not know?"

Harry and the other two looked at Yi Shuihan with disbelief.

"Okay, actually it's like this. Although we will be bringing out 6 magical creature eggs, there are actually 6 plans in total. One plan will be drawn before the competition starts, which means there are a total of 36 creatures."

"..."

Harry and Ron fell silent. They could barely master the hatching techniques for six species in two days, but for 36 species, it was truly a matter of luck.

Incubating a magical creature egg takes an hour. Even if you know how to do it, you still need to practice magic because of the special nature of hatching magical creatures. You must master some corresponding magic.

Chapter 572, I'm optimistic about the protagonist's team, after all, they are the protagonists.

"36 kinds?" Even Hermione frowned slightly. As a top student, she knew more about the process and the difficulty than Harry and Ron. However, compared to Harry and Ron, she was still very confident that she could successfully master the hatching details of 36 creatures and the magic that might be needed within two days.

"It's a bit much, but it's not entirely impossible."

The whispered words sounded like heavenly music to Ron's ears. He looked up at Hermione with a look of surprise and reverence, as if he were looking at his savior.

“Great, Hermione, I believe you can succeed. Our fate is in your hands.”

To be honest, Ron is completely lacking in any redeeming qualities right now, and Yi Shuihan simply can't understand why he married Hermione in the original story.

"We'll help too."

Harry remarked from the side, "He's much more self-aware than Ron."

After Yi Shuihan told Hermione which 36 magical creatures they were, they rushed to the library, seemingly determined not to waste any time preparing.

Time quickly came to the day of the official start of the competition. There were about 20,000 people, including students and faculty from the six schools, reporters from the outside world, and some onlookers who came specifically to watch the excitement. In the magical world, such a large number of people was unprecedented.

The arena for the championship was the plaza where the Myriad Realms Research Institute conducted its test that day. It was fortunate that Yi Shuihan had built it to be very large, otherwise, it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

This time, Voldemort once again took the stage as the commentator, while Yi Shuihan sat on the judging panel with six headmasters. The seven people sat in a row, with Yi Shuihan in the very center. To his left were Dumbledore and two other headmasters from traditional magic schools, and to his right were the Queen and the others.

"I wonder what Mr. Yi thinks of these six teams?" the Queen said casually, but she was actually very interested in Yi Shuihan's answer.

After seeing the Empress, although she still looked charming and was considered a favorite by some, Yi Shuihan, who had seen her aged face, had no interest in her, even though he was probably older than her.

What are your thoughts on the main characters' team?

Yi Shuihan asked a question in return.

"Oh!" The Queen looked somewhat surprised. "Does that mean you have a higher opinion of them? However, they seem to be the youngest team in the competition. If I may be so bold, I don't think they are the strongest."

The Queen's words were rather tactful, only because she was speaking to Yi Shuihan. If it were anyone else, she probably would have directly said that Harry and his group were the weakest team.

"Well, as you all know, I first stayed at Hogwarts and knew some people there. Coincidentally, I was quite familiar with these three. Speaking of which, the first time I stepped into the wizarding world was when I met Harry. At that time, he was a freshman and he went to the platform under my guidance."

A flash of recollection crossed Yi Shuihan's eyes as she continued, "You should all know Harry's identity by now, right? Although his claim of being the savior is a bit dubious, he might actually create a miracle."

"Harry Potter?"
