With Gemma Lifa's voice, the entire Slytherin House fell into a stumbling discussion.

In Slytherin House, unless a Year 7 student is the Student Council President, the Year 6 Prefect is the highest ranking member of the student body by default, and this year it was Gemma Lifa's turn.

It's just that, compared with previous sessions, this postponement is not so convincing.

Over the past academic year, Slytherin House has suffered its worst defeat in seven years.

If the House Cup and Quidditch Cup defeats can be attributed to Elena Kaslana's genius, then the Hufflepuff near-breach of the Common Room and the fiasco at the end of the semester were their own problems.

"Shadow Chief......

Irina Ivanovich read softly.

Shadow Prefect, a privilege outside of Hogwarts and only within Slytherin.

Compared to the official prefects of Hogwarts, the shadow prefect has only one place, and does not distinguish between men and women, and the meaning it represents is very simple - in Slytherin house, the wizard with the strongest magical combat ability under the fifth year.

As the Shadow Prefect progresses through the grades, they usually default to being the status leader among the Prefects of the same grade.

According to the information revealed from the discussions among the Slytherin students in the upper grades around her, Gemma Lifa, the sixth-year female prefect who is now standing in the center of the hall, has successfully challenged in her third year and is a very powerful shadow prefect.

In fact, this is quite an achievement.

After all, in most cases, Slytherin's young wizards usually only participate in the competition for shadow prefects when they are in their fourth year, and before that, whether it is the amount of spells or mana, their disadvantages are too great.

Because of this, even the boys of the Malfoy family, who performed extremely well last year, did not choose to stand up at this time.

You know, there's more to failing than just physical pain – in Slytherin, underage shadow prefects aren't usually so generous as not to make things difficult for their peers who dare to go against them.

However, Elena Kaslana's mission is ......

"So, is anyone planning to participate in this year's Shadow Prefect Challenge?"

In front of the fireplace in the lounge, Gemma Lifa glanced at the students who had come forward, a look of disappointment in her eyes.

She had expected Draco Malfoy to step up and try to challenge the Shadow Prefect, after all, this little guy from the Malfoy family had performed well last year, both in Quidditch, grades, and dueling strength.

It's just that, perhaps, as the elders of the same family say about the Malfoy family, they are too shrewd businessmen.

Gemma Lifa shook her head, drew her wand and waved it in the air, ready to announce the start of the challenge.

Hopefully, by this time next year, the Malfoy boy can give her some surprises, as for this year's shadow prefect challenge, it is estimated that it will be just a formality, and the final winner will probably be born from the team's few people.

At this moment, a strange and nice voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Miss Lifa, the ...... According to this rule, I should be able to participate, right?"

"Huh, there are still challengers in the fourth grade?"

Gemma Lifa looked up, looking with some curiosity in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw that the freshman from Russia, who had spoken to Professor McGonagall when he was in the Sorting House, slowly walked out of the crowd, drew an old wand with a very solemn expression, and performed the etiquette of a pure-blood wizard family with great grace.

"The Ivanovich family, Irina Ivanovich, Slytherin House, first-year student. ”

Irina took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

In the modern wizarding world, the (ordinary wizard level exam) is undoubtedly a very clear dividing line, which is like the high school leaving exam in the non-wizarding world, which divides whether a student can be called a wizard or not.

At this point, whether it is Codos Doretz in Russia, Beauxbatons in France, Durmstrang in Scandinavia, Ilvermorny in the United States...... Most of them refer to the academic system of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and choose to conduct a large-scale grading assessment in the fifth year of their respective students.

Prior to this, students were exposed to more general knowledge and simple magical techniques.

In a relatively peaceful era, even Durmstrang would not teach his students too many combat spells until fifth grade, just as the non-magical world would not teach middle school students to use hot weapons in peacetime.

For this reason, it is common in the wizarding world to divide grades 1 to 4 into the same stage.

Because of these factors, there is only one Shadow Prefect in Slytherin per class, and her jurisdiction covers all students up to the fifth year, rather than two in each year as in the official Hogwarts Prefect.

Of course, in general, people don't see the first year as one of the challengers.

"Interesting—"

Gemma Lifa glanced at Irina with interest and nodded noncommittally.

Slytherin House doesn't respect unscrupulous courage, if this little girl is a lion who has been misplaced in the snake group, then this opportunity is just the right opportunity for her to understand the rules of survival in Slytherin House, and if she really shows her strength-

Well, even in the worst-case scenario, that's a good thing for Slytherin.

You know, unlike Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe...... These students have long been marked with Elena, a potential stock that does not belong to Elena's Moonlight Kaslana camp.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to temporarily verify whether she is worth cultivating and supporting.

Gemma Lifa waited another three or four seconds, glanced at Malfoy at the edge of the crowd with some contempt, and shook her head again.

As for some people, after this challenge, they almost know the limits of their small ambitions.

Gemma Lifa didn't hesitate any longer, drawing her wand and waving her arm in an exaggerated arc through the air, a shallow notch appearing on the floor in the center of the Slytherin common room as she moved.

"The rules are simple - within this range, spell confrontation, with a five-minute limit, you can use all the spells you know, and the last person left is the new Shadow Prefect of Slytherin House. ”

Immediately afterwards, Gemma Lifa waved her hand casually, glanced at the junior students who walked into the venue, and said softly.

"By the way, I'd suggest you better not think about moving around, let's get started!"

As Lifa's words fell, the fourth-graders in the venue were slightly stunned.

"Wait a minute, Lifa, it doesn't seem like the same as before......"

Lucian Pol frowned, ready to question.

As a batsman for the Slytherin Quidditch team, the burly Lucian Bol is arguably the strongest contender for the Shadow Prefect, especially when his only rival, Perikin Derrick, has dropped out of the race.

In Lucien Pol's mind, the Shadow Prefect challenge should be a one-on-one duel in a group. Moxue Literature Network

In the end, a winner will be decided, not as random as it is now, like a big brawl-

"Faint!"

However, before he could finish his sentence, a crimson spell cut through the silence and slammed into his chest.

"W-"

Lucien struggled to turn his head, struggling to look in the direction the spell had been issued.

In the last seconds before his consciousness sank into darkness, he seemed to see the witch named "Kaslana" reappear in the halls of Slytherin House, waving her wand and reaping the spoils of war unhurriedly.

"The first. Whew......"

Irina whispered, her wand spun around quickly, deftly picking out a spell that flew towards her.

"Is this Hogwarts, the reaction is slower than I thought - faint!"

Immediately after, the girl's wrist shook rapidly, and she tapped in the direction where the spell was flying, and another dazzling pillar of red light blasted out, hitting the unknown senior girl's lower abdomen, knocking her unconscious.

On the other side of her, four or five meters away, the other three senior boys subconsciously gathered together, looking at Irina who had made a brazen attack as if they were about to be a great enemy, as if they had seen some kind of devouring beast, and their eyes were full of fear.

Since last year, the new students of the little people at Hogwarts are all monsters?!

"Want to rely on the numerical advantage and join forces to eliminate competitors?"

Irina smiled slightly, looked at the boys gathered together, and shook her head in disappointment.

"It's never the numbers that determine the winner, it's the faith—that's what magic is all about!"

Irina still vividly remembers what she saw on the Hyperion that day.

Compared to Elena and those of the Destiny Group, this group of Slytherin students is really too weak, even if they temporarily formed an offensive and defensive system in a panic, but both combat experience and combat awareness are too poor.

"Armor protection!"

Looking at the oncoming spell, Irina raised her eyebrows and waved her wand nonchalantly.

The next moment, the invisible magic barrier flashed through the air, and the two menacing spells bounced back faster than they had come, landing straight on the two seniors whose smiles had not faded.

This is, the perfect release of the Iron Armor Spell?!

As for the two red lights just now, they were obviously the most standard stun spells.

Gemma Lifa was slightly stunned, and looked at the freshman who was invincible to three with a serious expression, and her heart was full of shock—whether it was the Iron Armor Spell or the Stun Charm, these were all things. Spells that LS will only ask for.

In fact, a significant number of students are not able to perform the Iron Charm proficiently until they graduate.

And when these appear in a freshman who has only been in school for a few hours and has not even started Charms class, it seems very magical, even Elena Kaslana could not do this when she entered the school.

Needless to say, behind this foreign girl, there must be a pure-blood family supported by powerful wizards.

Hmm-Ivanovic?

Perhaps, tomorrow I can write to my parents and ask them?

Gemma Lifa thought as she watched as Irina deftly commanded her wand, lit the robes of the last two fourth-year Slytherin students, and then applied a stun spell to each of them while they were busy putting out the fire.

Cold, powerful, eager to prove himself, ambitious...... The kid was a natural Slytherin.

Gemma Lifa nodded secretly and glanced at Irina with a little jealousy.

Thankfully, as a sixth-year prefect, the new Slytherin shadow prefect wasn't yet possible to challenge her for the spot, and by this time in her second year, it was no longer something she had to worry about.

However, apart from this selection of shadow prefects, nothing happened in the future.

As Gemma Lifa had predicted, Marcus Flint didn't choose to challenge her, but instead took the initiative to help her stop another challenge from the fifth-grade prefect, which saved her a lot of energy.

"Alright, now you all go back to your dorm. ”

As the last challenger fell into a coma, Gemma Lifa clapped her palms and glanced at Irina and said.

"As for Miss Ivanovich, I'll explain your situation to Professor Snape to-morrow—if you have any special needs, you can sort them out tonight and give them to me tomorrow morning. Now you can pick your own room. ”

After saying that, Gemma Lifa's eyes moved, and she glared at Malfoy who was stunned next to her with some hatred.

Alas-

Tomorrow I have to write a letter that my father can take to Mr. Lucius Malfoy.

Regarding the shadow prefect this year, it was not that she didn't want to help, but it was that Draco Malfoy, the little guy, was so unambitious and ambitious that he didn't even have the most basic movements throughout the night, as if he were an ordinary student.

And with the strength shown by Irina, even if Draco Malfoy participates, the result is probably the same.

"I see, it's terrible......"

Draco Malfoy swallowed as he looked at the senior student lying on the ground.

He finally understood why, when he was on the train, the eldest sister would ask Bill Weasley to convey to him the request not to participate in the Shadow Prefect Challenge this year - in the face of such a monster rebirth, it was the most correct choice not to make a move.

Not to mention......

Draco Malfoy glanced at Irina Ivanovich, who was surrounded by the crowd, and gently pinched the angular metal badge in his pocket with his left hand, and couldn't help but think of Bill Weasley's advice.

"Draco, if you want to be the shadow of the eldest lady, then you need to understand that the most perfect shadow will always show its value when necessary, not like a peacock, showing off its presence all the time. ”

"As your guide, the first task I give you is to make yourself look less conspicuous. ”
