The second level of the Top 100 Tournament is an extremely difficult level. Not only do you have to defeat monsters in the 'Monster Maze', but you also have to protect the Muggles around you.
In fact, some young wizards chose to give up the opportunity to bring a Muggle to the arena just to be on the safe side.
But even so, more than half of the 1,080 contestants were eliminated.
When the tournament host announced this data, everyone called it cruel even if they looked at it.
Only 498 people passed the test!
This is a game that extremely tests comprehensive strength. Combat literacy, wisdom, courage, luck, perseverance, etc. are all indispensable.
Prime Minister Jim Harker, whom many people expected, had bad luck.
The young wizard in his group was originally a famous and outstanding seventh grade student in Beauxbatons, and he had always performed well in the Duel Club. Unfortunately, he seemed to be too adapted to the fighting style of the Duel Club and did not notice the complex terrain of the forest.
With an extremely funny gesture, he caught a tree root and fell to the ground. Not only did he break his wand, he was almost trampled to death by the huge 'monster' in the level.
Of course, Jim Harker was not without gains. From the corner of his vision, he saw the security personnel rushing towards him waving wands, so he rushed towards the child crazily, protected the little wizard in his arms, and harvested him fiercely.
The favor of a large portion of wizards.
In this game, there is a wonderful story behind every successful winner.
Every story makes these warriors more popular.
To paraphrase the words of the Dark Lord Tom Riddle, who died unexpectedly in the magic-rendered light - these little wizards will be the future of the wizarding world!
Yes, if we look at combat alone, these young wizards who have passed the second level can even reach the entry level of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic in various countries.
For example, classmate Hermione Granger, who seemed to be playing it safe but didn't have many bright spots in battle, first cast the 'Arrow Deflection', 'Iron Armor Curse', and 'Bone Shield Curse' on the Muggle mother she was protecting.
Protective magic, and then blocked the basilisk's vision with 'water mist', and 'slowed down and stopped shock' with one hand to lure the monster into the deep pit created by the transformation technique little by little.
Such spell-casting abilities and magical combat qualities are enough to amaze most adult wizards.
Even Professor McGonagall praised him greatly, claiming that even she herself could not achieve this level when she finished her studies at the magic school and first came out of the society.
In this way, the second level of the Top 100 Competition came to an end.
Information about the third level will also be announced.
"The third level, 'Hogwarts in the Sky,' will be held in one month."
"In this level, the warriors can complete the game using the methods they are good at, such as potions, protection of magical animals, spells, transformation, etc."
When Lockhart told this, he looked mysterious. In fact, he didn't know how the third level was compared, but he was thick-skinned and could act like "I know it very well" at any time.
He is such a talented person, he can come up with a lot of seemingly awesome interpretations of any topic.
"A wizard's life is not limited to using magic to fight, unless you are an Auror who captures bad guys, or a bad guy who does evil."
"Maybe we should think like this, what exactly does magic bring us?"
"Is it just a means of fighting?"
"Throw a high-temperature fireball like in the novel?"
Lockhart showed his standard bright smile to the camera, "No, it shouldn't be like this. Magic should have more and better use scenarios. We can make broken mirrors reunite, we can make bones grow flesh, and we can grow things that satisfy the whole family."
Edible extra-large potatoes.”
"I think this is the most beautiful part of magic."
"From the moment we come into contact with magic, it has been completely integrated into every aspect of our lives and has become an indispensable part of our lives."
"It can be a piece of candy that beats, a sofa that is always soft, a hat that sings, a promise that makes each other..."
Lockhart was talking eloquently on the podium, and the brilliance in his eyes was not even inferior to that of Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Anton, Newt, Akinbard... these magic masters sitting next to him.
"There is a student club at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry called the Hut. They were collecting a lot of information in order to prepare for the 'Azkaban Academy'. I was fortunate to be one of the important information providers about Muggles.
knowledge.”
"Gentlemen, I know that many people are watching the Muggle Prime Minister participate in this grand event in our wizarding world. I know that many Muggle organizations are carefully observing the wizarding world. Everyone will be proud of all this and look forward to Muggles.
What kind of exclamations the melons will make."
"But I want to say..."
"Perhaps this 'new era' is also a good opportunity for us to take a broader look at the world."
"Muggle technology is a very magical thing. Every research breakthrough it makes will bring about completely different changes in the entire society."
"I was walking in Muggle society and standing in front of the tall bookshelves in the Muggle library, and I couldn't help but think like this..."
"Our magic is more convenient, more powerful, and more attuned to our wishes than Muggle technology."
"So, can our magic be like Muggle technology?" Lockhart looked at the lens of the magic mirror seriously and sincerely. "Every breakthrough in magic will bring more benefits to our wizarding society.
What’s the difference?”
He smiled slightly and said, "The answer Mr. Anthony Weiss gave me was - of course."
"He very much agrees with my ideas. For example, our floo network has become as clean, tidy and beautiful as the Muggle King's Cross Station. For example, clothes with a cooling charm or a warming charm allow us to easily survive the hot summer and cold winter..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I once asked Mr. Anthony Weiss, if Muggles and wizards enter a new era at some time in the future, what will we wizards do?
Will they be regarded as crazy by Muggles, will they not be welcomed, will they not be able to get along together because of cultural barriers..."
"He gave me this answer - indispensable."
"He said that when a wizard can set up a floo network between the earth and the moon, when a wizard can solve all kinds of diseases that plague mankind, when a wizard can cultivate extremely high-yielding plants that can feed everyone..."
"Wizards will become an integral part of humanity."
"He also said..."
"At that time, wizards will lose their mystery and gain greatness."
"Mr. Anthony Weasley believes that this is the new era of wizards. He said that in the underlying operating logic of magic, the collective consciousness of mankind will affect everything. Wizards are born from mystery and are stronger than mystery. That is all human beings' understanding of mystery.
eager."
“But if you want to go one step further, it involves ‘greatness’.”
"Humanity's desire for mystery is ultimately illusory, but the desire for greatness is the key to moving to a higher level."
Lockhart raised his eyebrows slightly, "I think this is the future we can look forward to, where wizards are not only the 'mysterious' part of humanity, but also the 'great' part of humanity."
"Of course, all of this must start from our most basic things, starting from our Potions, Transfiguration, Magical Zoology, Herbalism, Charms, and a series of other disciplines."
"This is what the third game is about, let's see each other in a month."
Lockhart is as good at bullshit as ever.
Anton shouted from the side that he was awesome.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seemed that he was gradually affecting everyone around him.
When Lockhart was teaching himself to write, he once mentioned that he would 'investigate' the Muggle world. In fact, you don't need to go far. The Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley is located on the street of Muggle bookstores.
Turn left and you're there.
But at that time, Lockhart was not pursuing the direction of 'Muggle Studies' or 'Wizard Future Research'. He just wanted to find some creative 'material'.
But now, as I explain my research to the people around me, these people begin to change.
Will Lockhart, a "cultural man" in the wizarding society, also move in the direction of a "philosopher" and provide more guidance for the new era?
Anton doesn't know, but he is also looking forward to such a future.
Look forward to……
That world has become more splendid and wonderful because of his arrival.
