Chapter 598
: The First Passer
Chapter 598 The First Person to Pass the Level
The screen of the streaming mirror was divided into three parts. One part was the warrior who was trying to lure the fire dragon away with a transformation spell, one part was Krum who was intercepted, and Vader, who was sitting alone in the secret room, occupied half of the screen.
Ms. Fujiwara of the Institute of Magic had no interest in discussing the encounter between Karkaroff's students. Her eyes were still lingering on Vader, and she closed her paper fan with a "snap".
"What a beautiful tactic..."
She glanced at Dumbledore meaningfully and said, "That child's Luminescent Charm, at first glance, I thought it was a Daylight Charm!"
"The Daylight Charm is a variation of the Luminescence Charm, so it's normal that they are similar."
Antoine held his chin up to his hand, smiled at Vader in the mirror, and said, "But it's really rare to be able to use an ordinary illumination spell to this extent!"
"Yes, the spells he used were all common spells, but they were all of astonishing quality. I originally thought that this guy was only good at the Armor Spell!"
Principal Adeso of Uagadou showed a playful smile on his face: "After the game, I will send him a thank-you letter - that little girl finally knows what it means that there are always people better than you!"
Fortunately, Amina is still in a coma. If she knew that her principal said that, she would probably be so angry that she would cry.
Adso's eyes passed over Vader in the mirror and then looked at another person.
Among the warriors confronting Krum, there was a student who was particularly tall, almost twice as big as Harry Potter next to him.
That was his student Papua, who was as big as a polar bear and looked very powerful, but in fact he had a gentle and calm personality and was very protective of his companions.
Just like the animals he transformed into.
Vagado is extremely skilled in self-transfiguration. Senior students can transform themselves into animals such as elephants, cheetahs or gerbils at will. They can also cast spells using hand gestures without the aid of a wand. This is well-known throughout the wizarding world.
But Papua's transformed form is that of an elephant, which is of little use in narrow passages. Only a few relatively spacious secret rooms give him room to maneuver.
Adso tapped his thigh with his fingers, feeling a little worried, but when he saw his other student Jabari, the anxiety in his eyes calmed down.
No matter what others said, Dumbledore always smiled, with a bright light shining in his eyes, and said:
"Ah... Vader is indeed good at studying various spells in depth. He also selflessly shares his experience with other students... Um, would you like a piece of chocolate? This is my treasure."
However, except for Antoine and Gilbert who took a piece with a smile, the others were nervous and had no intention of eating the chocolate.
Karkaroff's lips moved slightly, and he muttered silently: "Old madman..."
But he didn't dare say it out loud.
He rolled his eyes, his gaze suddenly fixed on a corner of the mirror, and shouted: "Dumbledore, what else does your student want to do?"
The eyes of the entire audience were all looking towards the corner of the flowing mirror, and they saw the insect puppets rubbing against Wade Grey's feet one by one, and then leaving the secret room in a heroic and arrogant manner.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in everyone's heart, especially when they saw the scorpion puppet rushing in the front, they almost wanted to yell to the others in the secret room:
"Quick! Don't worry about the others, just burn those things! Burn them!!"
However, whether shouted out or not, the sound from the stands could not reach the players' ears.
At this moment, Karkaroff suddenly laughed happily: "Hahahaha, Viktor is out! I knew he would be the first! Great, Viktor!"
With a loud "bang", Krum's figure suddenly appeared on the platform.
The students of Durmstrang immediately erupted in thunderous roars. They pounded the railings of the stands with their fists and shouted, "Viktor Krum! Viktor Krum!"
Then, applause came from all directions like a wave.
Michael curled his lips and said to the person next to him: "Krum doesn't count as number one! If Wade wanted to, he would have taken the first place long ago!"
Daphne nodded in agreement, clapping her hands reservedly.
On the high platform, Krum staggered a step and subconsciously raised his hand to block the suddenly stronger sunlight.
His black hair was messy, his clothes were still stained with moss from the secret room, and there were a few drops of blood on his face. "Viktor Krum! Viktor Krum! Viktor Krum..."
The cheers were deafening. After a moment of confusion, Krum raised his arms high, and a golden egg gleamed in his palm.
Bagman's loud commentary echoed throughout the venue: "What a wonderful retreat! Viktor Krum successfully broke through and was the first to bring back the golden egg..."
With a "bang", another contestant suddenly appeared next to Krum. He sat down on the ground, and his face changed drastically after seeing the surrounding environment. He shouted quickly: "Let me go back! I accidentally touched the door key! Let me go back quickly!"
After a brief silence, Bagman said in a teasing voice: "Oh, Mr. Priya Patel didn't get the golden egg? Although I'm sorry, I can only announce that he has been eliminated..."
……
"what!"
Harry screamed, a deep wound on his calf was cut open, but he didn't bother to stop and check, he reacted very quickly and fell to the ground, holding his head and rolling to the corner.
Although chasing and fighting with Dudley and his followers since childhood was not a good memory, it did give Harry rich experience in protecting himself in melee.
His fingers were scraped and the skin was broken, but he still held the wand tightly, twisted his upper body suddenly, waved the wand towards the center of the melee, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Faint!"
Rahma was hit by two stun spells at the same time and fainted directly. In this situation, even the awakening spell would not work, and this Aketim contestant would definitely be eliminated.
Then Harry managed to prop himself up and took a look, and saw that the Mando warrior who came in with him and took the initiative to stir up chaos fell down and touched the golden compass. His figure flashed and he was sent out directly.
That guy...if I remember correctly, his name seems to be Priya?
Victor also disappeared...only he and Papua of Ouagadou were left at the scene.
The two looked at each other, saw the idea of living in peace in each other's eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"What was that Mando guy trying to do?" Papua panted, "He had to pick a fight with Krum, and ended up getting himself eliminated."
"Who knows?" Harry got up from the ground, holding his wound and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Papua glanced at Harry and saw that this Hogwarts contestant was genuinely worried about him. His eyes curved and there was a hint of smile in them.
He also stood up by holding onto the wall and said, "Then... shall we do as we discussed before and each go one side?"
His voice was deep and produced a slight echo in the secret room.
Before Krum showed up, the four people who arrived at the secret room had reached a fragile consensus. But when Krum came out of the passage with the golden egg, Priya suddenly started to make trouble, not knowing whether she wanted to steal his golden egg or didn't want Krum to take the first place.
He probably felt that the three people around him were his temporary teammates. They would pursue victory like him and respond immediately, so he would never lose in a four-on-one situation.
But Priya didn't expect that the other three people might not all have the same ideas as him.
Harry, in particular, didn't want to lose, but he also didn't want to snatch the golden egg that someone had found with great difficulty from their hands - this was not the way to win he wanted.
Harry shook his head. He didn't want to recall the chaotic process that followed. He was just a little worried: "If we run into other people again..."
"I lost." Papua laughed heartily, his white teeth gleaming in the dark. He said, "But I don't want to wait until I find the golden eggs to fight you again."
"Well, good luck to you."
Hearing this, Harry also felt that this was better, and nodded with a smile.
Papua randomly chose a passage that was closer to him, and staggered in while holding onto the wall. Harry spent two minutes bandaging the wound on his leg before walking to the other side.
Blood dripped onto the moss along the way, and soon a scorpion puppet, shaking its claws, pushed up the dead leaves on its head and crawled in the direction Harry had left.
Behind it, seven or eight puppets followed rustlingly, some of them dropping stones from their bodies as they crawled.
