Allen looked toward the sound and recognized the wizard at the front of the surge, the one closest to him. It was Vasily, who had once studied at Durmstrang. Compared with how he had looked when Allen first saw him at Durmstrang, there was no question that his build had grown even more bear-like.
"Sorry, may I ask who you are?" Allen raised an eyebrow, deliberately acting as if he had not recognized him.
Being slighted like this by Allen made rage surge into Vasily's heart, for he had long regarded Allen as an enemy. Provoked, he waved his wand and shouted, "Maybe this will make you remember me!"
It was similar to the spell Vasily had once used back when Allen had been an exchange student at Durmstrang and fought the students of the other school, but now it was clearly an advanced version the other party had honed through hard practice. Thick, far denser black-green acid liquefied like Fiendfyre, and not long after it was released, it transformed into three massive brown bears that charged ferociously at Allen.
These masses of acid not only hissed and smoked, but also gave off a powerful sour, rotten stench. Wherever they ran, even the lightest contact corroded the ground and made it wither in an instant, and those corroded portions in turn swelled and strengthened the acid itself. This vicious-looking spell drew cries of alarm not only from the audience in the stands, but also made the contestants begin dodging in fear.
