As Headmaster Dumbledore gave the order, students from each house on the field began to line up and enter the Map of Mountains and Seas. There were a total of 154 Champion participating this time, with only the Mahoutokoro having the fewest, with only 14 students remaining.

When Su Yu stepped into the Map of Mountains and Seas, he felt a strange suction force coming from him, and then everyone around him disappeared, leaving only himself. Of course, Kurama had already returned to his body, so he was still with Su Yu.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a high mountain range, with towering peaks stretching as far as the eye could see, and strange trees Sand Peach growing in abundance, their branches laden with yellow flowers and red fruits.

Mountain streams meander and rush, clear spring water flows into deep pools along ravines, birds and animals fly back and forth in the forest, clouds and mist linger around the steep mountain peaks all year round, sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, and the grass and trees are covered with moist moisture.

He looked around and realized that this was not any of the places described in the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas. It seemed to be a small, isolated space, probably for the convenience of the competition.

A streak of light flashed, and Kurama jumped out of Su Yu's body, chasing after several butterflies in the mountains.

"Looks like it was a random teleportation, separating everyone," Su Yu sensed his surroundings, activating his Tenseigan to its maximum, but still couldn't find a single person. He turned back and waved to Kurama, "Let's go, let's speed things up and see if there's anyone else around."

In the blink of an eye, following the map, they carried the Kurama and moved around the mountains.

"Did you recognize it? Kurama?"

After traveling for half a day, Su Yu, carrying Kurama, asked the little guy in his arms.

"Hmm, something's not right. This isn't the Classic of Mountains and Seas. These monsters alone don't seem to be from it. They're like they were artificially bred. They don't have intelligence; they only have primal instincts."

"Then I can kill anyone I want without any guilt." Su Yu was just saying it; who had he ever felt guilty about killing?

"How about we accumulate some points first? There's no rush to find them anyway; they all have my badges and won't be in any danger." Kurama snuggled closer to Su Yu.

The entire afternoon was like a disaster at the competition venue, with traces of Tailed Beast Bomb damage everywhere. Su Yu clasped his hands together, activated Kurama Mode, and hit wherever he pointed. In just one afternoon, Su Yu's score reached more than 300 points.

Killing a monster only earns 1 point, but the treasure in the last circle can reach a terrifying 10,000 points. So, that night, Su Yu and Kurama sat around the fire, eating roasted meat, and also considering that they couldn't just kill monsters to earn points, as that was too slow. They also had to rely on the final treasure to compete for points.

Harry fared pretty well too. He seemed to have exceptionally good luck today. He walked all the way without encountering a single monster. His feet were a little sore from exhaustion, and he didn't earn any points, but nothing bad happened, right? The only problem is that he'll have to eat dry rations for dinner tonight because he didn't catch a single animal.

Eating the hard, dry rations, he missed the days when Su Yu was around. At least then, he wouldn't have to suffer from hunger, and he ate quite well along the way. Unlike now, it was late at night, and he was a little scared, so he simply slept wearing the Invisibility Cloak.

At that moment, young Malfoy was drinking lemonade and eating roasted lamb leg with Blaise. Yes, he was incredibly lucky; he had only been inside for a short while when he ran into Blaise. The two of them sat together by the fire, eating roast meat and chatting happily.

The most dangerous one was Phoebe. She had only been gone a short while this afternoon when she encountered a huge eagle, which toyed with her like a child, waiting to eat her when she was exhausted.

Phoebe tried casting spells at it, but the eagle was too fast and its defense was terrifyingly strong. The few times she managed to hit it, it did little damage and instead provoked its ferocity, causing it to pounce on Phoebe even more fiercely.

Phoebe didn't know how many times she had used Apparition. In this unfamiliar place, she didn't dare to teleport too far, only to the place within sight. But even so, she couldn't escape the pursuit of the eagles in the Sky Void. She ran all the way from day to night, and she was already a little exhausted.

But she couldn't give up. As the captain of Beauxbatons, how could she be eliminated on her very first day? Her pride couldn't accept such humiliation, so even though she was already in a sorry state, she gritted her teeth and persevered. So what if she was training with eagles? She could do it!

Su Yu had just finished dinner and lay down when he heard the Kurama, who was on guard outside, say that she seemed to sense someone rushing towards them at high speed not far away.

Without saying a word, Su Yu activated his Tenseigan, which emitted a blue light in the darkness. Based on the energy flow he saw, he quickly deduced that the one constantly using Apparition towards him was Phoebe. However, it seemed that she wasn't there specifically for him, but rather that something was attacking her from high above.

"Is Phoebe trying to escape?" Su Yu said.

"Possibly. I smelled a strong malice, but it wasn't from Phoebe."

Kurama Sniffed, then asked, "What should we do? Should we intervene?"

"Let's wait and see. What if they're just luring us in?"

"Oh, you mean the old man was catching lobsters?"

And so, the two sat together and watched for a full half hour.

"Why hasn't she killed that eagle yet? She's been running around for half an hour, I'm getting tired of watching her..."

Kurama complained in Su Yu; she was getting sleepy.

"Who knows? Maybe she wants a big one?"

Su Yu analyzed the scene before him.

"Hey! Phoebe, do you need help?"

Su Yu shouted at Phoebe, who was panting heavily.

Just as Phoebe Apparition to a large tree, she heard Su Yu's shout and trembled in fright, almost falling off the tree. But then the eagle in the sky seized the opportunity to swoop down on her. She didn't have time to reply and could only Apparition away again. Her magic power was almost depleted. She was panting heavily, her lungs felt like they were about to burst, and she couldn't even speak loudly.

"She's probably hawking, right?" Su Yu said uncertainly. It was late at night, and his Tenseigan weren't clairvoyant, capable of seeing every detail of every expression. In a live broadcast, Su Yu could only see the outline of energy flow in the distance.

"How would I know? She won't answer you either. Is she afraid you'll steal her prey? Who does she think she is? It's just a matter of one point. She's so stingy." Kurama Fox pouted.

"Phoebe, are you alright? Do you need any help?"

Su Yu called out again, still worried.

This amused the students who stayed up all night watching the game. Phoebe was almost dead, and Su Yu still thought the other party was just playing the hawk. Phoebe was really tough; even in this situation, she didn't say a word.
