While Speaker Tom Riddle was talking to reporters, the drawing of lots was also going on nervously on the stage.
As the first girl who looked very handsome walked up to the stage and drew out a wooden sign with the number 36 while everyone was hesitating, Professor McGonagall waved her wand and tapped it lightly towards the middle of the auditorium.
A narrow duel platform measuring 15 feet (about 4.6 meters) and 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide suddenly popped out.
The duel table seemed to be squeezed and bounced away, pushing everything around it aside, making it appear extremely strange.
Everyone's eyes were dazzled as they looked at the dueling platform in amazement, but they seemed to feel that it should be right here.
The Traceless Stretching Spell is a high-end magic spell, and it is also an extremely sophisticated high-end transformation technique.
One duel stage after another appeared in the auditorium as the warriors drew lots, causing the four oversized long tables that were originally side by side to be pushed further and further away, and eventually turned into a circle surrounding these duel stages.
In the sky above the duel platform, there are three burning flame characters floating in the sky.
——Channel 36.
——Vanessa Baldini (17 years old) from the folk alchemy hut (registered for: spells, alchemy, ancient runes, history of magic)
——Draco Malfoy (14 years old) from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Registered to be good at: Charms, Alchemy, Quidditch, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Ancient Runes)
These flame characters are dark green, and the three characters they signed up for that are good at the same items, namely "spells, alchemy and ancient magic texts", have turned into dark red.
When the competition started, the host Lockhart could no longer pester Voldemort and walked quickly towards this side.
When the other reporters saw that Lockhart was not there to support him, and they were facing this terrifying Dark Lord alone, they involuntarily began to tremble with fear from their hearts, and they fled one after another.
They spread out and wandered around every corner, trying to find the most reportable focus.
The Top 100 Tournament has been going on for several months. As the "Wizard Tournament Report" intensively dug out the stories behind each warrior, many young wizards became famous, and many famous players gradually emerged.
Draco Malfoy is one of them.
It will even be more popular than the savior Harry Potter that everyone talked about before.
It is said that the Malfoy family followed the Dark Lord Voldemort to America. Draco's father, Mr. Malfoy, first served as the Director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures at the Magical Congress, and later became the principal of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It is said that the angry Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, who believed that the Malfoy family had betrayed them, jointly seized all the assets of the Malfoy family in Europe and released all the goblin slaves in his factory to freedom.
It is said that the bold Lucius actually appeared in Europe again, running around in order to release their director of the International Magical Cooperation Department, Barty Crouch Jr.
At such a moment, Draco Malfoy was not taken away to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but continued to stay at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There were rumors that Draco was taken away by Dumbledore.
The professor seized it.
Of course, some people say that it is also possible that Anthony Weasley, who reached the top wizard level in a short period of time, detained Draco.
But in any case, Draco Malfoy is an extremely interesting microcosm of the game between major forces.
A small stone that has been crushed and rubbed in the torrent of time.
As for those face powders...
There are quite a few. After all, Master Malfoy is so handsome and has the ill-fated melancholy filter, which makes many boys and girls obsessed with him.
all above……
Of course Draco knew.
After all, he is so beautiful, so of course he especially wants to know how he is evaluated in newspapers and periodicals.
In this era before the Internet existed in the magical world, he already knew how to search for all his information on a high frequency.
Draco also had his own thoughts about everything that happened to the Malfoy family.
Yes, unlike his sad and caring mother who advised him to be cautious, and his father telling him to concentrate on his studies, Draco actually had many, many thoughts.
he thinks……
If he can be as good as the core members of the hut, so useful, and even play a vital role in the hut, he can protect his parents.
This is why he is so keen to participate in the promotion of Muggle-turned-Wizards.
If he wants to have more say, he must be better, and reach the level of ordinary school professors!
This is obviously a huge ambition, but in fact, he observed that in the cabin, Hannah was actually as good as Professor Sprout in the direction of cultivating magical plants. Neville's research on the medicinal properties of herbal medicine was even at the forefront.
On the road. Draco didn't know the level of George and Fred's magic props and alchemy skills, but their products that were popular in the wizarding world did not have any imitations. They were obviously top-notch, not to mention magical animals.
The technology has been cultivated.
None of these core members participated in the Top 100 Competition, and they have already reached the level of school professors!
These are all the influences brought by Anton, and he can feel them.
He believed that he was as talented as Hannah, Neville, George and Fred, he just needed more learning.
As long as he can reach this level and play an indispensable role in the affairs of the cabin, the Dark Lord Voldemort and those Death Eaters may have to turn around and seize his parents as pawns to check and balance themselves.
Very ambitious, if he can achieve it.
Can it be done?
Draco has this confidence, after all, Anton is so amazed at his talent in compound spellcasting.
As an Auror referee finished explaining the rules on the stage, Draco withdrew his eyes from his father's concerned figure in the distance and looked at the opponent in front of him seriously.
Vanessa Baldini, he knew the information about this opponent. She was a witch living in the Amazon rainforest. In addition to the alchemy she learned from her master, she had extremely keen spell-casting and combat instincts.
In fact, he has studied the information of all his opponents, and he knows clearly the areas in which every top 100 player is good at.
Amazon rainforest…
So, you must have seen an extremely huge snake, right?
Following the referee's order, the two performed the etiquette of a wizard's duel and each pulled out their wands.
Draco took a slow breath, waved his wand with a serious face, and chanted the incantation, "Oolong!"
Anton once told him in detail the key to this magic, which was both a transformation and a summoning.
There are two ways to interpret this magic.
Looking at it from a modern magic system, the high-end magic techniques should be tried in the direction of the transformation spells 'Stone Deployment' and 'Guardian Knight Spell', focusing on control to make its attacks more varied.
From the perspective of ancient witchcraft, we should be more inclined to interpret it in the direction of 'summoning'. Summoning is a spellcasting instinct in which a wizard prays for a powerful force to come to protect him when he treats his opponent. It should be interpreted in the direction of 'patron spell'.
Study the 'Spirit of Fear', 'Corpse Shield Curse', and 'Bone Shield'. What is important is to explore the deepest emotions and even will in the heart.
In view of the fact that he had learned all the above magics and his talent in compound spellcasting, Anton also gave him a special class to explain the spellcasting techniques and keys.
Therefore, as he used the magic of 'Oolong coming out of the hole', the effect was completely different from what he had used before!
A huge anaconda snake with a platinum golden color and a diameter of 4 feet (1.2 meters) snaked out from behind him. Its huge body was coiled up, and even the duel platform could not fit in it. Its huge tail was moving sideways.
Falling down from the stage.
The reporters beside the stands were so frightened that they staggered back with exclaims.
The giant anaconda slowly raised its neck and looked down at the little witch on the other side of the duel stage. It swallowed the shiny letter and its huge vertical pupils reflected her figure.
Then, the anaconda slowly opened its mouth, so wide that it could easily swallow the little witch whole.
"Merlin's beard!"
When such a huge summoned object appeared on the playing field, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around it.
Everyone was exclaiming at the effect of this terrible magic.
Several nearby magic masters who were security personnel changed their expressions, drew out their wands and rushed over quickly to prevent the deformed summon from getting out of control and causing some irreversible consequences.
As Draco released this 'unexpected escape', his opponent, the little witch Vanessa, immediately cast a spell and released a 'repelling spell' in an attempt to knock Draco off the duel stage.
However, when this magic spell hit the huge anaconda, it only caused its scaly abdomen to shake a few times and had no effect at all.
The little witch Vanessa looked at such a huge monster helplessly, shook her brown ponytail tied high on the back of her head, and shook her head at the nervous-looking referee beside her, "I admit defeat."
The referee looked a little frightened. He raised his wand and turned to look at Vanessa in panic, "Wha... what?"
It was pitiful that even as an Auror, an elite wizard, he was not completely sure of escaping from the mouth of such a huge anaconda snake.
He was even thinking in his mind whether only the Death Curse would be effective.
And if he casts the Unforgivable Curse illegally in front of so many people, he is not Anthony Weasley and will definitely be caught in prison.
But if he didn't use the life-killing curse, he would have no way to save his life!
He began to imagine the scene where he was holding on to the bars of the prison, crying bitterly, and looking at his beautiful wife who came to visit him from outside the cell.
"I said, give in, this is obviously beyond my ability to cope."
The little witch Vanessa looked at such a huge anaconda opposite and clicked her tongue, "I should have listened to my mother and went to a magic school to study. The magic they can learn is simply too powerful."
The Auror wanted to say, dear little baby, this kind of curse should not be like this. The little python created by the magic of Oolong Chudong can be crushed to death with one kick...
Unfortunately, Vanessa didn't have the chance to talk at this time. She just looked at him and said, "According to the rules, as the loser, I can choose one of the two areas of expertise in the same field for the second level, right? I choose alchemy."
After saying that, the little witch Vanessa turned to look at Draco, "I also have an anaconda as a pet at home, although it's not as big as the one you transformed. Maybe we can talk about it after the game.
There is something wrong with the technique. Its shape is a bit deformed and does not conform to the laws of nature. It will definitely lose the spirituality naturally endowed by the transformed object itself."
Draco nodded silently and waved his wand gently, causing the anaconda to turn into a shadow and disappear.
This move was originally intended to be used as a trump card against Harry Potter. His first move was to use the most powerful magic he could to frighten his opponent.
This is a tactic intended to influence the opponent's performance in the second game.
Unfortunately, the other party's psychological quality far exceeded his imagination.
Origin of Alchemy Hut?
Upon hearing this, one can imagine that the other party must have great attainments in alchemy.
Draco only felt full of pressure.
This is only the first game, and there will be a game every day after that! Obviously, no one who can go through three knockout rounds to become a top 100 player is easy.
"I like this magic!" Voldemort looked at Draco with great satisfaction, smiled and said to Lucius Malfoy beside him, "Let him transfer to another school after the game. Maybe I can give him some advice."
Lucius twitched the corners of his lips and nodded slowly under Voldemort's vague gaze with some difficulty.
Sure enough, the two-pronged approach would not be recognized by any big boss at all. He had to make a choice, a choice that he could not refuse, and let himself bet everything on Voldemort, with no way out.
"Quack quack..."
"How's it going? How's it going?" Anton pulled Lucius away, came over, smiled brightly at Voldemort, raised his thumbs up and gestured to himself vigorously, "I taught you! I taught him
~taught!”
The corners of Voldemort's lips raised slightly, "It's very good."
"Right!" Anton rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Draco from a distance, "So, he won't go anywhere. I still have a lot of things to teach him. He will definitely blind everyone.
Eye!"
Voldemort's eyes became cold, staring coldly at the back of Anton's head, and the hands in his sleeves clenched.
Never!
No one can ever refuse him!
In such a public place, such behavior is simply humiliating!
However, he finally slowly let go of his hand, with a smile on his face, and pretended to sneer nonchalantly, "Okay, I want to see what he can become in your hands."
Not yet!
Everything in the Magical Congress was still on track. He couldn't let this abnormal-minded student come out to cause trouble when he was targeting the European wizarding world and Dumbledore at the same time.
Tolerate!
Wait, wait, everything will be paid back with interest!
