Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 972: Dark Horse

The suburbs at night were eerily quiet, as if everything had fallen silent, and even the houses on both sides of the street had their lights turned off.

However, some figures are faintly visible on the side of the road.

A closer look reveals several Spanish police officers. If an unsuspecting Muggle passed by, they thought something was going on here.

However, the sticks in the hands of this group of "policemen" have revealed their identities.

The employees of the Spanish Ministry of Magic are on a mission to patrol the building. Although the surrounding area has been released to expel Muggles, it is impossible to avoid possible accidents.

Albert had just Apparated into an open space near the gym when he saw someone approaching him, a male employee of the Spanish Ministry of Magic, who came to look for him to register his identity.

After he directly identified himself as a contestant and took out his contestant card, the wizard said formulaically: "Contestants, please go to entrance No. 9. From there, go to the contestant waiting hall. There are specially registered personnel at the entrance. ."

Albert walked in the direction of the wizard's finger, and soon saw a "road sign" written in many languages ​​telling the contestants where the number nine entryway was.

As soon as I got to the entrance, a loud noise hit my face.

There is a table at the entrance. There is a box similar to a lottery on the table. There are four grids next to the box, which are also marked with 1, 2, 3, and 4. According to the waiting room for players, it is divided into 4 areas.

The wizard took out a card from the box with the number 1 on it, then threw it back into the box, signaling Albert to draw it himself.

Albert took a random card from the box, marked "3", that card was placed in Sector 3, and Albert was instructed to go to Sector 3.

The area in the passage is very large, there are about two or three Hogwarts halls, which are divided into four areas, each area has a lot of small round tables, a bit like a coffee shop.

Actually, you can actually order drinks here, just not for free.

As soon as he arrived in Sector 3, Albert saw several Aurors who were maintaining order, dressed in very serious robes, a bit like civil servants.

The existence of these guys should be more of a deterrent.

He doesn't think these Aurors have a way of maintaining order if there is unrest here!

Before entering Zone 3, another draw is required, this time in the order of draw.

The Spanish Ministry of Magic obviously has a lot of experience in organizing dueling competitions, and has arranged the entire competition process properly without any confusion.

Albert glanced at the round number in his hand. The number on it was: 17.

After he put the number plate in his pocket, he found an empty seat and sat down. There were many people around him who cast curious glances at him, obviously surprised by Albert's youth.

Of course, no one really takes him seriously, young wizards like Albert are the favorite opponents of other contestants because they can easily advance.

Albert took out a chocolate-flavored toffee from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. According to Bud, only after the round of 16 would the tournament test players for whether they were taking Fuling drugs, or cheating in other ways.

Well, the test method is also very simple, which is to drink a little diluted Veritaserum under the watchful eyes of the judges.

Then, someone will ask you if you have cheated.

As for cheating in the previous knockout rounds, it doesn't really matter.

Also, don't think that you won't be able to see it if you drink the elixir.

If you jump up and down during a game, it's easy to be suspected of taking phlegm.

Finally, he was taken to the test, and once he was found to be taking Fuling, he would be banned from participating in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament, and other events may also be permanently banned from participating.

Time passed, and after midnight, countless fireworks exploded over the stadium, kicking off the International Wizarding Duel Competition.

The players also entered the field in order. The football field is large enough to accommodate four games at the same time. The top sixteen of each district will be quickly screened tonight.

Albert waited a quarter of an hour in Sector 3 when it was his turn to play.

His opponent is a middle-aged brunette wizard.

This guy seemed to be in a good mood when he found out that his opponent was a young wizard, and when Albert smiled and greeted him in English, he replied in German, but it was not a friendly greeting.

Albert didn't care, smiled slightly at the opponent, and took the lead through the passage to enter the arena.

The original lawn of the football field has completely disappeared, replaced by a duel stage paved with marble. The scope of the stage is not very large, but it is enough for people to move. The rest of the duel arenas are far apart to ensure that other players are not affected in the duel.

The referee is a middle-aged wizard with a pointed hat and a blue flag just off the stage.

After the two entered the arena, the referee briefly explained the rules to them and let the two contestants take their places.

After Albert took the stage, his young and handsome appearance quickly attracted a lot of attention, especially after the photo of him wearing a dragon suit was published in Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, more people knew Albert. .

What girl doesn't like a handsome and powerful man?

Of course, Albert didn't care about this. He focused all his attention on the opponent in front of him, raised his wand to his chest like a sword, bowed slightly towards the opponent, and listened to the countdown of the referee

"Three, two, one...start!"

The two raised their wands sharply at the same time, ready to cast magic on each other, but Albert was clearly faster than the middle-aged wizard.

At least, Albert didn't recite the spell, and almost as soon as he raised his wand, the spell flew directly at the opponent.

The middle-aged wizard was taken aback by Albert's quick spell casting. He gave up the half-recited black magic and raised his wand to block the oncoming red light.

However, Albert did not allow time for his opponent to react, and the second spell was already approaching. Unprepared, the wizard was directly knocked out by a huge force, and the third spell was again Hit the fallen target and directly disarm the opponent's wand.

I have to say that Professor Flitwick's "three-pronged axe" is still very useful.

An opponent who loses his wand is disqualified from the competition.

"You lose," Albert said in German.

The middle-aged wizard struggled to get up from the ground and looked at Albert with astonishment. He originally thought that the opponent was a soft persimmon, but he encountered a hard stubble, and this guy actually knew German. When he was talking before, this guy could obviously understand, and he was still smiling there.

"Definitely intentional, what a sinister guy." The middle-aged wizard was very depressed, he couldn't understand why the guy in front of him cast the spell so fast, of course he could do the silent spell, but... that kind of spell casting speed , the power of that magic spell is not at all like what he can master at his age, it's like cheating.

Yes, it's cheating.

Is that guy taking a phlegm?

It's absolutely like this~IndoMTL.com~ When the referee raised the flag and was about to declare Albert's victory, the middle-aged wizard went directly to the referee to protest against the opponent's suspected use of Flux.

Albert looked at the wizard in front of him with a strange expression, and asked the referee, "Do you need to check?"

"No, I know you, and I saw you win the championship with my own eyes last year. Let's do our best this time." After finishing speaking, the referee glanced at the guy in front of him who couldn't afford to lose, and said casually, "I don't think there is a problem, he has the strength."

The expression on the middle-aged wizard's face froze immediately after hearing this.

"It seems that someone has a meaningful stake in the outcome of the contest."

The young wizard in charge of interpreting the duel competition said loudly, "Let's hear what our referee has to say."

"That young gentleman won the Gold Medal for Spellcasting last year, and I remember his award was published in the newspapers." The referee said flatly, "I don't think he showed an extraordinary duel. It is a slander to think that he might be cheating.”

"Alright alright, maybe we've encountered a dark horse, let's see how far this young player can go!"

"He seems to be famous?"

Katrina listened to the people around her discussing about Albert, and turned to look at Isobel, who was not very happy. "What's the matter, you don't seem very happy?"

"This is not good news." Isobel shook his head.

Albert has been targeted by the Mysterious Man and Death Eaters, and a great reputation also means being too ostentatious, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

If the newspapers ran the news that Albert was coming to the International Wizarding Duel Tournament, God knows what big troubles would be waiting for him.
