"First, let's announce the contestants of the Witches' Union." Dumbledore caught the piece of paper floating out of the Goblet of Fire and read out the names one by one.
"Xing Henxue, Chihiro Nakamura, Hiro, Yan Yuan, Wei Shufen."
"Next are the contestants from Xavier House, Raven, Nina, Little Rainbow, Oppai Bus, and Kunal."
"Xiaoxia! You have been chosen!" Zoe jumped up excitedly for the first time.
"With so many mages and warlocks, how is it possible..." Sherlock was confused when Zoe pushed him onto the stage.
"Sherlock, I didn't expect your magic skills to be so high." Raven joked as soon as she saw him coming up.
For a moment, the other thirteen people also looked over.
Among everyone, the most famous players are of course Gui Li, Ruiwen, Xing Henxue, and Sherlock, who are among the top ten players in the combat power rankings.
However, the other three are all mages, and only Sherlock is a druid, or a druid who specializes in transformation. His appearance is somewhat inconsistent.
"Sister Ruiwen, stop joking, don't say you don't see the fishiness here." Sherlock said helplessly.
Ruiwen chuckled: "It's indeed a bit too fake. All fifteen players are players."
"Our players are already stronger than NPCs of the same level, so it's normal to select all of us." Hiro from the Witch Union said proudly, obviously very confident in his own strength: "That's right, Xue'er!"
Xing Henxue, who was called 'Xue'er', frowned slightly and said indifferently: "I am, but you are not."
"Xue'er..." Hiro, who was originally domineering, was instantly embarrassed by these words.
The key is that she can't refute yet, and she doesn't dare to fall out with the first successor to the Supreme Witch in public. She can only tremble and force a smile, and whisper: "We are teammates now..."
Sherlock and Raven also heard about the competition for the inheritance of the Supreme Witch in the Witch Union. They looked at each other and said nothing, but quietly waited for the results of the draw.
Soon, as the last person drew his number, the entire schedule was projected into the mid-air of the auditorium.
Elemental mage No. 1 Ruiwen, she will fight against Necromancer Guili No. 2 tomorrow morning.
Witch Star Henxue No. 3 will play against Contestant No. 4 Sherlock in the morning the day after tomorrow.
…
In this schedule, it would be too fake to say that there is no manipulation. The four of them, who are obviously the strongest, get together directly.
"Here, I want to emphasize the rules of the competition again." Dumbledore said loudly: "You cannot use skills other than spells, and you cannot use magic props and potions that are not made by yourself. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."
After drawing lots, the fifteen of them walked away amidst the cheers of students from their respective schools.
As soon as Sherlock sat down, Zoe noticed something unusual about him: "Xiaoxia, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
"I don't like shouldering other people's hopes, especially so many people." Feeling the warm gazes around him, Sherlock couldn't help but sigh: "And I'm really not sure I can win this game, or I almost can't.
Maybe you can win."
"So you're worried about this." Zoe said nonchalantly: "Just throw away the hopes of some strangers. They have a lot of hopes anyway."
"What about you? If I lose badly, wouldn't we lose face?"
"Yes! So if you lose, you have to accompany me to explore the depths of the Forbidden Forest."
"That's it, then do you want me to win or do you want me to lose?"
"I wish you could stay with me."
Sherlock was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Zoe concentrating on eating the ice cream in her hand, completely unaware of the lethality of this sentence to a single person: "Zoe..."
"What's wrong?" There was still a circle of white ice cream on the corner of Zoe's mouth.
"Winning or losing, I will accompany you to explore the Forbidden Forest."
"Can't go back on your word!" Zoe stretched out a palm
Sherlock smiled and patted him: "I will never regret it!"
…
After the meal, Sherlock did not accept Zoe's proposal to play a game of wizard chess, but instead found Professor Lockhart.
Although there is little chance of winning, now that he has participated in the competition, Sherlock will definitely go all out.
Moreover, if you want to get Slytherin's pendant of glory, winning the Triwizard Tournament is currently the only feasible way.
He had studied the game carefully, and he didn't have no chance.
First of all, in terms of the competition system, the Triwizard Tournament does not mean that the strongest person will win, but it depends on how many points each player accumulates in the end.
The individual challenge requires a 1v1 battle with 10 players from other schools. The winner will receive 5 points and the loser will receive 2 points.
Sherlock couldn't beat Ruiwen, Gui Li and Xing Henxue at the same level, but the others were still capable of fighting.
In other words, after the first round, the gap between his points and the first tier will not be very big.
Then in the following team competition, first, second and third place will get 20, 10 and 5 points respectively.
Sherlock analyzed the overall strength of the three parties and found that there was not much of a gap. As long as he was not in third place, he still had hope of overtaking them.
This hope lies in the final individual adventure competition. After the adventure, the three judges will give a score ranging from 0 to 50 based on everyone's performance.
In the last round of the competition, there are no restrictions on the use of skills, and it is an outdoor adventure mode. Sherlock, an all-round player, has an absolute advantage in this scenario.
If you perform well enough, it is entirely possible to regain all the points you were behind in one game.
"My student was actually selected to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. If you win, maybe I can publish another autobiography."
Lockhart said excitedly: "What do you think of "My Magic Apprentice and I - Champion of the Triwizard Tournament"?"
"Professor, I haven't even played a game yet?"
"With my guidance, it is not difficult to win. It's a pity that this competition was suspended when I was in school. Otherwise, the news that we all won the competition would definitely be on the front page of the Daily Prophet."
"Um..." Sherlock suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake by asking Lockhart for advice on natural spells.
…
More than a quarter of an hour later, Lockhart, who was addicted to talking, finally became serious: "Tell me about the natural spells you have mastered first, and I will help you analyze them."
"Tree Transformation Technique, Tree Escape Technique, Entanglement Technique, Black Silk Crosswalk, Golden Shuriken."
"Well, what else?"
"there is none left."
"You..." Lockhart was shocked and speechless for a moment. You are participating in a shitty Triwizard Tournament with only four natural spells.
"The equipment also comes with a freezing touch and ice mist spell."
"You, a druid, don't learn lunar eclipse, forget about offensive spells like Sun Flame Slash, how come you don't know spells like catalytic plants, activated plants, and diamond wood?" Lockhart was also a little unbelievable.
"There are too few skill points, so I have all the skill points for transformation." Sherlock said awkwardly.
Ordinary druids usually learn a few skills about plants, otherwise why would you protect the natural environment.
It's just that their players don't have any demand in this regard, so they naturally learn whatever skills are easy to use.
Especially since he is a transformation druid, he will not touch the skills of the magic system.
