Chapter 90: Triwizard Tournament

Dumbledore's loud voice echoed through the Great Hall, and while the news was indeed powerful, it was so strong that no one in the Great Hall responded, and they were all still immersed in surprise before they came to their senses.

Ios already knew about it, and now he was leisurely watching the reactions of the people around him. For him, the Triwizard Tournament is just an appetizer, and there will be a big meal like Voldemort's resurrection later.

However, there are always people who react quickly, not that they are more agile or anything, but the focus is different, such as the Weasley twins, Fred Weasley yells, "You're kidding! ”

Everyone who was still surprised by the news from Dumbledore's mouth immediately came back to their senses, and they all chuckled in unison, not knowing whether they thought it was really just a joke, or whether it was to soothe the excitement and tension in their hearts.

Dumbledore laughed too, and he winked at Fred, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley. But when it comes to jokes, I've heard a funny joke about a troll, a dominatrix, and a leprechaun, and they ......."

Before Dumbledore could finish, Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.

"Well, it's not appropriate to say that now. Continuing with our theme, Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago and is a kind of friendship competition between three major schools of magic and wizardry in Europe: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrand.

Each school selects a champion, and then three warriors compete in three magical projects. Held every five years, the Triwizard Tournament is hosted by three schools in turn, and it was agreed that it was a great way for young wizards from different countries to forge friendships - but it was interrupted due to the sheer number of deaths. ”

But everyone is not interested in the so-called death toll at all, what does it matter to me who died in the past? They were so interested in the event that they ignored the dangers involved.

At the tables in each house, the students were either looking at Dumbledore feverishly or whispering to the people around them, in short, everyone's emotions were aroused.

"There have been attempts to revive the tournament for centuries, but none of them have succeeded. However, we at the Ministry of Magic's National Department of Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports and Sports believe that the time is ripe for another attempt, and we have done a lot to ensure the safety of the warriors.

In October, the headmasters of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will bring their chosen best students to Hogwarts, and on Halloween a ceremony will be held to select the Champions, where an impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to compete, winning honor for the school and a prize of one thousand Galleons for individuals. ”

As soon as Dumbledore's words fell, the Great Hall was in an uproar. If before students were only interested in this ancient competition, now almost everyone wants to participate.

Come to think of it, being a Warrior is a huge honor in itself, it symbolizes that you are the best student at Hogwarts, not to mention the prize money of a thousand Galleons, which is a treasure that cannot be ignored by all.

Looking at the fiery gazes of the students below, Dumbledore had already guessed that such a situation would occur, and he knew that his next words would definitely disappoint many people, but these were necessary and could not be avoided.

"I know you're all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament trophy for Hogwarts, however, the school and the Ministry of Magic agree that only students over the age of seventeen are allowed to sign up."

Seeing that the students below immediately became commotion, Dumbledore raised his voice, "This is a necessary measure!" Triwizard Tournament programs are dangerous, and despite all the measures we have taken, it is impossible for students in grades 6 or 7 to cope with these challenges!

I myself will ensure that no student of my age will be able to fool our impartial judges into becoming a Hogwarts Warrior. So, if you're not over seventeen, I hope you don't have to waste time applying. ”

As he said the last sentence, his gaze skimmed over the Weasley twins, who had a rebellious look on their faces, and there was a meaningful glint in his eyes.

Of course, it's fair and impartial, but the Goblet of Fire is just a powerful magic item after all, and it doesn't even have its own consciousness, so if a wizard is strong enough, it can actually fool it.

However, whether wizards under the age of seventeen have this ability, Ios thought about it and thought, not to mention deceiving the Goblet of Fire, they probably couldn't even pass the age line set by Dumbledore.

Ios could have done it in his lower grades, but not that he was about to graduate, and he himself had little interest in the game.

Dumbledore then continued, but Ios and the others were no longer listening. Ios didn't care, while the others were already fantasizing about themselves being chosen as warriors.

On the way to the dormitory, some of Ios' acquaintances came up one after another.

"Ios, are you ready to compete in the Triwizard Tournament?" These people all know Ios's ability, and it can be said that they have been pressed by Ios alone for seven years, and they have not been unconvinced for a long time.

They also knew that if Ios participated, it would be basically none of their business, so they hurried up to find out the information.

"I'm not going to participate, it's just a boring game that doesn't have any difficulty for me, it's not challenging at all." With that, he quickened his pace and left.

A group of people who stay in place, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say, boring game? Still, they were relieved to hear that Ios wasn't going to participate.

They glanced at each other, full of fighting spirit. The next step is to rely on your own abilities, and everyone here is your own competitor.

For the time being, everyone only noticed the honor and the prize, and as for the risk, it was not that no one thought about it, but didn't Professor Dumbledore say that a lot of measures were taken? Presumably, even if there is danger, there will be no fatal accidents like before, right?

They still don't have a clear understanding of the Triwizard Tournament program, and subconsciously compare it to the final exam or something. However, I believe that when the first project of the fire dragon appears, it will shatter their beautiful illusions.

And tonight, Harry Potter, who was already lying down, had a fantasy - he fooled the honest old referee, became a Hogwarts warrior, and even became a champion after passing three events, lifted the trophy, and everyone was cheering for him.

Thinking of this, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
