Chapter 164: Jealousy
Filch wore his best clothes, excitedly held the box, and walked all the way to the center of the auditorium.
"Each school will select a Warrior and the judges will score their performance." Dumbledore patted the box in the center of the Great Hall, "It's up to this magic item, the Goblet of Fire, to choose." ”
Dumbledore tapped the lid of the box three times with his wand, and pulled out a rough carved wooden goblet with blue flames dancing inside.
"Any student who wishes to participate in the competition can throw a parchment with their name written on it into the Goblet of Fire, and it will be screened fairly."
"Once you put your name into it, you're signing an ancient contract that the chosen warriors have to compete."
"But I must state again that even if all the projects have been reviewed by many parties, there may still be accidents during the competition, and I hope everyone must think twice and do what they can."
Dumbledore said solemnly, and the blue-white flames in the Goblet of Fire shone on every excited face.
"It's going to stay here for twenty-four hours, and I'm going to put an age line around it, and anyone under the age of seventeen won't be able to get through."
Kano saw a lot of people winking at him, and Fred and George shook the age booster in their hands.
"We're only a few months away, and one drop is enough." Fred said excitedly.
Dumbledore seemed to curl the corners of his mouth, pretending not to hear.
"You're not short of money right now, why are you participating?" Kano asked curiously.
"Because of the excitement, it's still very showy!" Joe replied as a matter of course.
Yes, pranks are essentially an act of wanting to get someone's attention, and the twins certainly have no resistance to high-profile thrilling scenes.
Today's event is over, and it's time for the break. The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students followed their principals back to their transport, and Fleur boldly kissed Kano on the cheek, and several of the boys had fire in their eyes.
"At least let me get a good night's sleep, I have a feeling they're going to come to trouble me tonight." Kano said with a smile.
"Our curfew is very strict, otherwise I should be the first to run out to find you tonight." Fleur finished with a grin and pulled a somewhat sleepy Gabrielle away.
Kano didn't go back to the break room, he held the map of the living spots in the dark, and stared at the Goblet of Fire covertly for the whole night.
Dumbledore was older, and let him keep an eye during the day, and Carnot worked the night shift.
Many students who were afraid of embarrassment sneaked over to drop the parchment at night, and Filch also turned a blind eye at Dumbledore's behest.
But Carnot found no trace of Crouch Jr.
The next morning, Kano went to his morning workout first, and when he returned to the hall to prepare for breakfast, he was blocked by a group of people.
"You're Canopus. Black? ”
The male students of Beauxbatons at the head had a bad face, and a few behind him were also menacing.
"It's me, what's the matter?" Kano yawned, "Seriously, I haven't had breakfast yet, so hurry up if there's anything to bother you." ”
"Will you compete in the Triwizard Tournament?"
"Of course not, I'm only in the fourth grade, not even seventeen."
The boy on the opposite side snorted coldly: "I was looking forward to competing with you in the arena, since you can't participate in the selection, then let's duel here." ”
Fleur pulled Gabrielle over from the crowd and stood beside Kano.
"François, you can't win, and I don't like you either." Fleur spoke indifferently, then turned to Kano.
But before she could speak, Ms. Maxim's voice came first.
"Canopus, watch your proportions."
The students on either side gave way to the tall lady, and she took Fleur and Gabrielle aside, and several other Beauxbatons male students also moved out of the way under her gaze.
Lady Maxime knew what was hidden beneath Kano's handsome exterior, and that he had more lives at his disposal than Beauxbatons could now have.
Of course, Kano would not admit that it was "human" who died at his hands.
He smiled slightly at Madam Maxim and said yes.
Kano wasn't going to be heavy-handed either, and it's not surprising that children's hormones are on the rise. But if this François used a spell that could cause serious damage, Carnot would not mind breaking his limbs and causing him to ache for a while.
François took a white glove from his coat pocket and threw it at Carnot. Kano caught it and held it in his right hand.
"Listen to my command, the two of them turn their backs and walk fifteen steps each." "Now turn around and wait for me... Wait until I count to three. ”
François held his wand upright to his chest, while Carnot didn't even take it out, still holding a white glove in his hand.
François's face contorted, and his hand holding his wand trembled.
"One, two, three."
"Faint!"
François's spell flew out of the tip of the staff, and Carnot dodged it with a slight side.
"Faint! Faint! ”
Kano pressed forward unhurriedly, his feet moving as he dodged the spell fired by his opponent.
As the distance increased, the time available to dodge became shorter and shorter, but Carnot continued to move at an even pace with his face unchanged, and large beads of sweat broke out on François's forehead.
He didn't have any extra brain power, but the little wizards watching the battle below had already opened their mouths in surprise.
"Is Kano so strong?"
"All I know is that he has good grades and always exercises." Ron replied sluggishly, "He's so strong?" ”
François gave up his intention of winning with one blow, took out two alchemical devices and threw them.
Two small objects exploded in the air, sending up a puff of white mist, and François fired a stun spell at it, but he did not hear the sound of falling to the ground.
"It's over, Monsieur François."
Carno's voice appeared behind him, and François immediately turned to fire the spell, but after a moment's moment, the wand in his hand disappeared.
"That's it, Canopus. Blake, got the undoubted victory. ”
Ms. Maxim announced the results, and the young wizards fell silent.
"I don't agree, I still have a few pieces of alchemy equipment," François began, blushing.
Kano scoffed and spread his hands.
In his right hand was François's white gloves and wand, and in his left hand was Beauxbatons' badge that had just been removed from his chest.
"Come out for exchange activities, and your words and deeds represent your school." Kano's voice was not loud, but the whole audience could hear it, "Don't think that you can become famous by defeating anyone, respect is mutual, isn't it?" ”
Kano slipped his wand and white gloves into his pocket and put the school badge back on his chest for him.
"You'd better get it and the kids around you, because I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do it every time."
Kano whispered the last word, turned his head and smiled at Ms. Maxim.
"Ma'am, these alchemy devices are really interesting, but we don't teach alchemy at Hogwarts, so I wonder if we will have a chance to learn them this year?"
"Of course, no problem, we are here for friendly exchanges this year."
Ms. Maxim replied with a smile.
The atmosphere in the foyer relaxed, and the little wizards left one after another to enjoy the good time of the weekend.
