Chapter 643: Triwizard Tournament
"Are you here to see me?" Zoe asked expectantly.
"Of course." Sherlock's face didn't blush, his heart didn't beat.
"I knew it!" Zoe said excitedly, "Won't we be able to be together every day from now on?" ”
"Well, I'm supposed to be staying here for quite a long time this time." Sherlock wasn't ready to go out and take any more adventures until he completed the mission for the Book of Truth.
"Great, we might be able to find some time to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest together, I've been wanting to ride the unicorn in it for a long time."
"Uh......" Sherlock just said to be steady.
"Quiet!" Dumbledore's voice spread through the magic throughout the Great Hall, "Now that everyone is seated, I want to announce something. “
"This year, the castle will not only be your home, but will also welcome some special guests."
"Tillanders is hosting a traditional event in the Eastern Regions – the Triwizard Tournament!"
The Triwizard Tournament is a series of magical competitions between three mage organizations in the Desperate Eastern Regions.
Five students from each school will be selected to compete in the Individual Challenge, House Team Competition, and Individual Adventure Competition, with the student with the most points winning and being rewarded by the three houses.
"I would like to remind you that these competitions are very dangerous and not for cowards......"
Dumbledore's expression changed suddenly, "But after all these days, now join us in welcoming the beautiful witches from Lesserman, and their headmaster, the Supreme Witch, Lady Fiona." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the auditorium was opened, and a group of girls in blue robes walked in slowly, led by a middle-aged woman.
"Dear Lady Fiona, welcome to Tillandus." Dumbledore stepped forward to welcome.
"Dumbledore, don't come unharmed, right?" Fiona's voice was very vicissitudes, and she didn't seem to be as young as she looked.
"If you don't count the hair being all white, it's pretty good." Dumbledore joked.
"Has Charles arrived?" Fiona said.
"I seem to have heard the wheelchair turning, why don't you sit down first?"
Fiona nodded, and with the girls behind her, she made it to the front row on the left side of the auditorium.
Dumbledore stepped up to the podium and continued, "And friends from Sesk, let's welcome the wizards of Xavier's House. “
This time it was an old man in a wheelchair who walked through the door, or rather, it was an old man in a wheelchair, and then more than a dozen witches and wizards of all shapes and sizes followed.
"Albus!"
"Charles!" Dumbledore leaned down, and the two embraced.
"Fiona, long time no see, you're still so young." Charles said hello to the left.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to not only have a lame leg, but now you even have your hair falling out." Fiona teased.
"After all, it's too much trouble to wash your hair in a wheelchair." Charles was not angry either, and took the person to the front row on the right.
Next, Dumbledore announced the specific rules of the match.
First of all, the contestants.
In charge of the screening is a magic item - the Goblet of Fire!
Anyone who has reached level 50 and wants to participate in the tournament can throw a piece of parchment with their name written on it into the flames of the Goblet of Fire.
Eventually, the Goblet of Fire will pick the right contestants this Friday, four days later.
Then there's the race schedule.
The Triwizard Tournament will span an entire school year.
The first Individual Challenge will take place on the weekend of the second week after the selection of participants.
At the end of the challenge cycle, the House Team Tournament will take place in the middle of the term, around Midwinter (December).
The Individual Adventure will take place at the end of the season, around the following year's Greengrass Festival (April Storm Claw).
Finally, there are the rules of the game.
Because it is a battle between mages, the contestant cannot use skills other than spells, but can use the rest of the combat methods that still and do not involve skills.
In other words, if Sherlock is competing, he can directly use the dragon slayer to slash hard, or he can use the natural transformation to open the holy dragon form, but he can't use skills such as the Flame Burst Punch in that form.
"How about it, Xiaoxia, do you want to participate, let's sign up together." Zoe egged.
"I'm a druid, how can I fight with you." A whole school year is too long, and Sherlock's main focus is still on practicing life skills.
Hearing his concerns, Zoe immediately said, "If I have a way to make you upgrade your life skills quickly, are you willing to accompany me to the competition?" “
"Do you have a way?" Sherlock was pleasantly surprised.
"You promise me to participate in the competition first."
"No problem!" This kind of temptation, Sherlock naturally can't resist, honestly practice life skills, if you want to brush up on three grandmasters, a year may not be enough.
"Great, we're going to win." Zoe took the parchment with their names on it and signed up.
Although Dumbledore said that the competition was very dangerous, there were not a few people who came forward to sign up, and even many mages under level 50 tried to throw their names into it.
I don't know what the principle of this goblet of fire is based on to select the contestants, and how to judge the strength of the applicants.
……
After registering and having lunch, the class officially begins.
Sherlock looked at his schedule, and the first lesson of the afternoon was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration.
There is still a big difference between the natural transformation of the druid and the transformation spell of the prophecy method, but the transformation spell also has the ability to change its own form when it is practiced at a certain stage.
The stones of other mountains may be able to attack jade
Drawing on the metamorphosis theory in the Transfiguration Spell, he may be able to refine his understanding of natural transfiguration.
"Sherlock, don't go to class, come with me to the Forbidden Forest." Zoe tugged at Sherlock's sleeve and reluctantly entered the Transfiguration class.
"I don't dare skip Professor McGonagall's class." Sherlock said.
"Then you dare to skip the rest of the class?" A serious voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"Professor McGonagall!" Sherlock hurriedly expressed his determination: "Of course not! “
"What about you, Zoe!" McGonagall looked to the other side, "I think you're supposed to be in Professor Sprout's contract class right now. “
"Uh......" Zoe, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, said timidly for the first time: "Sherlock doesn't know where the Transfiguration classroom is, so I brought him here." “
"Now that he's here, aren't you leaving?"
"I'll leave right away!" Without hesitation, Zoe turned to leave.
McGonagall stared at Zoe before turning her head and leading Sherlock into the classroom.
