Breaking out of the cocoon
Chapter 595 Breaking out of the cocoon
Before participating in the Triwizard Tournament, Professor Flitwick told Wade to keep a low profile, so as to ensure that he would not be targeted by others too early. Only by hiding his strength could he have a chance of winning in the end.
Grindelwald wanted him to show his strength. Of course, winning the championship is the most important goal, and the process is not important.
Wade originally wanted to keep a low profile and get to the end smoothly. For the winner, "hiding" in the middle can be called "strategic wisdom."
But from the time he was the first to pass the fire dragon, to the time he saw the performance of the others in the secret room, one word kept floating in his mind:
—That's it? That's it? Are you serious? That's it?
Genius wizards from all magic schools! 33 of them gathered together to compete for the title. It sounds like a gathering of the best and most talented.
In Wade's imagination, at least half of the contestants were at the level of the four former plunderers or the young Snape.
There are even young versions of wizards like Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Voldemort hidden among them.
——Otherwise how can you be called a genius?
Not only are they talented, they are also very hardworking. Before coming to Hogwarts, they have all undergone special training provided by the school, and they will definitely master some very powerful magic.
If a spell like [Flame God] was cast by someone else, Vader had no confidence that he would be able to survive.
From the perspective of study time, although Wade worked hard, he started too late. Students at the Institute of Magic entered school at the age of seven.
Not to mention the children of pure-blood families, some of them will unconsciously use magic during the breastfeeding stage. If the parents are willing, they can teach them all kinds of magic knowledge from a young age.
For example, Professor Snape was said to have mastered more spells than some fifth-year students before he entered school.
So when he decided to participate in the competition, Wade was very confident in himself on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was cautious, cautious, and cautious again.
For a month, he had been patiently observing his opponent; after entering the secret room, he immediately found the best hiding place.
But watching the performance of others, Wade gradually realized that his opponent this time was not as powerful as he had imagined in his mind.
In other words, the performance of these students proves why there has only been one Grindelwald who started a war around the world in all these years;
And why... a twisted, arrogant and cruel dark wizard like Voldemort could make the entire British wizarding world tremble and dare not even mention his name.
Therefore, when Voldemort made a comeback, the British wizarding world could only rely on Dumbledore, who was over a hundred years old; and after Grindelwald escaped from prison, he carried out various activities in a swaggering manner and recruited members of the Wiccan Party in many countries, and the wizarding world in various countries was as quiet as a chicken.
It turns out... not only in Britain, but most wizards in the world are at this level...
These are the "excellent students" who have undergone special training. One can imagine the level of those contestants who were not selected.
Wade's thoughts suddenly became clear, and the fog that had been tangled in his mind for a long time dissipated at this moment. He was surprised and even found it a little funny.
He realized that he had always been in contact with the most powerful people in the entire magical world. This had invisibly raised his cognition and caused significant errors in his judgment of his own and others' strengths.
He had witnessed the battle between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, and had also seen the combat effectiveness of the Witch Party during the attack. He inadvertently equated this game with the past, and treated it with caution, fearing that he would fail.
But it is very rare for such people to appear in a few decades or hundreds of years. How could they appear in large numbers in one game?
What's more, the students in these magic schools have all grown up in peacetime. They have never experienced war and are not under the pressure of dying if they don't fight hard. For most of them, passing exams is more important than being familiar with combat, and falling in love is more important than writing a thesis.
Wade exhaled slowly and quietly adjusted his game strategy.
The trump cards still need to be hidden, such as Animagus, Apparition, Flame God, etc., which still cannot be used in front of the camera; the silent spell, the Patronus Charm and other powerful spells can be gradually brought out in the subsequent projects. But he also needs to prove that his victory is not a fluke or relying on the advantages of alchemy, nor is it because he used any dishonorable means, but there is no doubt that he is better than others!
Wade wiped the wand in his hand to make sure he wouldn't accidentally drop it due to sweaty palms or something, then raised his eyes and looked towards the passage where footsteps and voices were gradually coming from.
……
Even for the wizards in Graycastle, the Flow Mirror is one of their few sources of happiness.
Grindelwald was always very generous to his own people. He set up huge streaming mirrors in all the places where the Witch Party liked to gather, whether it was a restaurant, an auditorium, a tavern, or the lawn outside.
A grand event like the Magic School League was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. As soon as the live broadcast began, someone holding a bottle of wine hurriedly chose a good seat and sat down.
"I didn't miss the shot of Furong, did I?" the man asked the people around him anxiously.
"What's so good about that little girl?" another person shouted, "Cut the screen to Krum!"
"I'd rather see what that English guy is going to do. It would be a waste of time if he loses his golden egg!"
"Hey, isn't it more interesting to see a warrior fighting a dragon? I want to see the dragon roast the warrior!"
"Stop dreaming, the British Ministry of Magic is not just for show!"
Then the control over what images the streaming camera broadcasts lies with the British company FMC. No matter how much people here shout, they cannot influence the outcome.
Grindelwald was also watching the live broadcast in his room. He sat in an armchair with his chin supported by one hand. Long strips of pine wood were burning in the fireplace beside him, making crackling sounds from time to time.
Seeing that the glass in his hand was almost empty, Delain did not use magic, but stood up and poured a glass of gin himself. When he put down the bottle, he heard Grindelwald suddenly laugh.
Delain first glanced at the flow mirror. The picture had shifted from the dim chamber to the surface arena. An angry dragon was spitting fire crazily. Harry Potter was holding his wand high, and a broom was flying towards him with a sound of breaking through the air.
He looked at Grindelwald again. The old man had an expectant smile on his face, and there was little emotion in his gray-blue eyes.
Delain thought for a moment and commented, "This kid is planning to fly past the dragon? It's a smart idea... but it's a little dangerous."
The fire dragon must be more interested in the objects moving at high speed in front of it, and the flying speed of the Hungarian Horntail is not slow, and the fire-breathing distance is very long.
Grindelwald sneered disdainfully: "After all, he is Dumbledore's beloved little savior. Like him... he is full of the so-called adventurous spirit."
——Didn’t you laugh about this just now?
Delain pondered it subconsciously in his mind, but did not delve into it. Instead, he waved his wand, added two more sticks of firewood to the fireplace, and continued to watch the scene in the mirror.
Harry Potter was riding a broom in the air to provoke a Horntail, and the dragon chased after him... Harry suddenly dropped down quickly and passed under the dragon in a very thrilling move. The Horntail turned its head angrily and spewed flames, and Harry narrowly avoided it...
A minute and a half later, Bagman's excited voice echoed throughout the arena:
"Look! Harry Potter passed through the dragon's obstacle at the fastest speed! It's amazing! It's hard to believe that Viktor Krum didn't think of this method and was even injured when passing through the dragon... Oh, Merlin! What are they going to do?!"
The scene with flashing fire suddenly changed and returned to the dim underground secret room. Several warriors and a man met on a narrow road, and a conflict was about to break out!
