Chapter 41: Scoring
Xingzhe walked out of the venue indifferently, his face barely changing, just like he had before. He saw Madam Pomfrey standing at the entrance of the second tent www.biquge.info look anxious.
"Fire Dragon!" She said in a disgusted tone, and pulled Xingzhe inside. The tent was divided into cubicles, and he recognized Cedric through the canvas. It seems that Cedric is not seriously injured, at least he has sat up.
Madam Pomfrey scrutinized Xingzhe's body and breathed as she breathed. "Last year it was the Dementors, this year it was the Fire Dragon, what are they going to bring into this school next? Hey? You're lucky...... I didn't get hurt at all......"
"All right, sit quietly for a minute—sit down! Then you can go and see your score. She walked out of the tent quickly, walked next door, and said, "How are you feeling, Diggory?" ”
Xingzhe didn't want to wait too long, he planned to leave the tent early, he wasn't injured at all, why bother going through these processes?
"Owen!" At this time, two more people came in the tent, Luna and Penelo!
"Congratulations on passing the first level.... Actually, I think you did it with ease! ”
"Let's go out and talk." Xingzhe didn't want the injured Cedric to hear anything, so he took them out, and then he said, "It's really easy, and the difficulty is very low. ”
"I really don't know how the other two warriors in the competition felt when they heard this."
"Haha, I don't care."
Xingzhe picked up the golden egg, his face was still very indifferent, he was in this mood an hour ago, and he is still in this mood now. He walked out of the tent with his head bowed, and Penelope and Luna walked beside him, Penelope said excitedly.
"You know what, you're the best, no one can compare to you. Cedric did a strange thing by casting a Transfiguration Charm on a rock on the ground...... Turned it into a dog...... He wanted to distract the dragon from chasing the dog. Ah, it was a great transfiguration spell, and it worked, Cedric got the golden egg, but he was still burned—the dragon changed his mind halfway through, and felt that he would rather catch him than the Newfoundland hound; He almost couldn't escape. The girl named Fleur cast a spell, and I think she was trying to put the dragon into a hypnotic state - yes, it almost worked, and the dragon fell asleep at once, but then it snorted and spewed out a great flame that set Fleur's dress on fire - and she conjured water out of her wand and doused the fire. And Krum - you can't believe it, he didn't even think of flying! But he's also great, probably second only to you. He used a spell to hit the dragon in the eye. Unfortunately, the dragon struggled in pain, stomping his feet tossed and shattered the real eggs in half - they were going to deduct points, and he shouldn't have broken them. ”
By this time they had come to the edge of the field. The treebee had been removed, and Xingzhe could see where the five referees were sitting - just to the right, sitting in a raised golden chair.
"The maximum rating for each person is no more than 10."
Seung-cheol squinted his eyes at the arena and saw the first referee, Madame Maxim, raise her wand into the air. A long silver ribbon-like thing erupted from the wand, twisting to form a large "9".
"It's okay!" Xingzhe thought to himself.
Next up is Mr. Crouch. He spewed a "9" into the air.
He gave nine points. The cheers of the audience were even louder.
Ludo Bagman - 10 points.
"Ten points." Xingzhe thought about it, this score.... How much does Bagman want to praise him?
At this time, Karkaroff raised his wand. He pauses for a moment, and then a number erupts from his wand - "6".
"Hehe," Penelope said coldly, "six points? He gave Krum ten points! And Krum isn't as good as you did! ”
"Calm, calm!" Xingzhe said: "It's just a competition, there's no need to care too much..."
"Owen." Luna, who had never spoken, said, "I think you're so peculiar, as if you don't even care..."
"Calm, when everyone is nervous, I am calm, when everyone is calm, I cheer, I glorify!"
“...... It's silly. ”
Xingzhe had long expected that even if Karkaroff gave him zero points, he would not care. This was obviously a particularly subjective score, and when he turned to leave the field, he felt that his mood was lighter than air. Because, he found ...... It wasn't just the Ravenclaw first-graders who cheered him on. When it came to the end, when they saw Seong-cheol's near-invincible performance, most of the school's classmates began to support him, just like Cedric .......
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Xingzhe walked into the tent again, and now the tent felt completely different: the tension in the air was gone.
Fleur, Cedric, and Krum entered. Cedric had a thick patch of orange on half of his face, presumably to heal his burns. He grinned when he saw Xingzhe.
"You're amazing, Owen, well done."
"So are you." Xingzhe said, smiling at him as well.
"You've all done a good job!" Ludo Bagman said he jumped briskly into the tent with a beaming look as if he had just successfully crossed a fire dragon. "Well, I only have a few words to say. The second project will start at 9:30 a.m. on February 24 next year, and you will have a long break before that – but we'll leave you with some questions to consider! If you look down at the golden eggs you are holding, you will see that they can be opened...... See the seams there? You have to unravel the clues provided in the egg - that will tell you what the second project is, and you can get ready! It's all clear, right? No problem? Alright, let's go! ”
Seong-cheol leaves the tent and finds Luna and Penelope, and together they walk back around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, chatting non-stop along the way. Seungzhe didn't speak, he kept listening to them, and he wanted to know more about how the other warriors did it. Later, as soon as they had rounded the bush, it was behind this bush that Xingzhe first heard the roar of the fire dragon when a witch suddenly jumped out from behind the bush.
It's Rita Skeeter. She was wearing a bright green robe today, and the shorthand pen in her hand matched the color of the robe.
"Congratulations, Owen!" She said, looking at Xingzhe with a smile on her face, "I wonder if you can say a word to me?" How do you feel when you face the dragon? How do you feel right now, and do you think the judges' scoring is fair? ”
"Okay, I can tell you a word," Seongzhe said with a blank face as he secretly cast a spell on Rita's pen with his wand, "goodbye." ”
After saying that, he, Penelo and Luna ran directly towards the castle, leaving no chance for Rita at all.
