The Final Round (I) (Thanks to Wandu Tinglan for the Three Love-Powered Gifts!)

"Why didn't you call for help sooner? I thought you were training a hawk..."

At the foot of the mountain, in an open space, Su Yu was grilling eagle meat skewers for Phoebe by the fire, and asked Phoebe, who was changing clothes and washing up in the tent behind him.

"I... I didn't have the strength to shout back then..." Phoebe had just changed her clothes, her face still a little flushed. She was actually a little afraid of Su Yu. This bad guy, on the surface he looked amiable and had an aristocratic air, but he would attack without warning. His ruthless appearance had left a deep shadow on Phoebe, so she spoke cautiously, afraid of angering this great demon king.

Watching the refreshed Phoebe gracefully emerge from the tent, Su Yu first handed a skewer of grilled meat to Kurama, then placed the rest on a plate on the table beside him.

"Have something to eat first, I just grilled it. By the way, have you met anyone else on your journey?"

"Thank you," Phoebe, still a little reserved. She carefully straightened her dress, sat down on a stool not far from Su Yu, picked up the eagle meat that had been chasing her all afternoon, and began to eat it in small bites.

"Mmm, so delicious! Your cooking is amazing, Sue Fuli. I've been running all this way and I don't have the energy to look around. I hope I haven't run into anyone?"

"Just call me by my name, no need to be so polite."

Hearing that she hadn't encountered anyone else, Su Yu stopped paying attention to Phoebe. After all, they weren't very familiar with each other. He figured she should just eat and go to sleep, or get up early tomorrow and continue searching. After all, fighting monsters wouldn't add many points, so it was better to reunite with everyone first.

Kurama devoured a piece of grilled meat, his mouth dripping with oil—it was so satisfying! This girl is so kind, bringing late-night snacks!

Harry woke up and rummaged through his Storage Ring to see if he could find anything to eat. He had been eating dry bread all day yesterday, and his cheeks were swollen this morning.

"Huh, I'm so stupid. I clearly had a flying broom with me, so why did I have to walk yesterday?"

Harry slapped his forehead, cursing himself for being an idiot. How could he not have thought of that when there was a means of transportation available?

After saying that, he went to the river to wash his face briefly, mounted his Firebolt, and flew up to search for traces of the others.

Outside the examination hall, Rita Skeeter had also arrived at the stands early this morning to interview parents from various colleges.

"I cast a spell on the Hogwarts Academy Champion before the competition even started. Yes, you heard me right, but I didn't curse them to get injured during the competition. I just cast a spell to prevent them from performing at their best. I swear, they won't get a good ranking."

A parent from Uagadou spoke at length to Rita Skeeter, recounting how she cast the spell.

"Oh, Merlin's beard! That wicked wizard Wagadu has cast a vicious curse on our children, swearing that they will suffer terribly, and shamelessly declaring that he will also unleash these curses upon all United Kingdom wizards. We will all meet a terrible end! This is no longer just a matter for the Hogwarts Academy; it is a matter for all of us. We must stand up to protect our children! Will this wicked wizard ultimately succeed?"

Rita Skeeter, with her floating Quick-Quotes Quill, embellished the story and quickly left, rushing back to finish the article.

Principal Mochizuki Seigen of the Mahoutokoro writhed incessantly, as if he had hemorrhoids, and occasionally glanced towards the principal of Uagadou.

"Mochizuki Seigen, if you're covered in hemorrhoids, go get them checked out. Don't just sit here like a maggot, giving me a headache," Grindelwald mocked the trash. He never took anyone seriously, let alone the headmaster of a small Mahoutokoro. Even if the Minister for Magic came, so what?

Upon hearing this, Principal Mochizuki Seigen dared not move. He lowered his head, not daring to even refute, only his sinister eyes hidden under the brim of his hat seemed to be enduring something.

"It'll be here soon, almost there, you all just wait..." Principal Mochizuki Seigen muttered softly.

"Cho Chang, are you finished washing up? Could you get me the eggs?"

On the other side, Daphne got up early in the morning and was making breakfast in her tent. She turned to Cho Chang had just finished washing up, and said...

Not far away, Ka-jie was holding a Quirrell, looking at a map, and analyzing which direction she should go today.

This was all thanks to Ka-jie's telepathic abilities. As soon as she entered, she used her telepathic abilities to sense Daphne and Cho Chang, who were not far from her, and established a remote communication connection in her mind. Soon, the three women were together.

"Phoebe, are you not done with your makeup yet?"

A light mist drifted in the air, and a stream babbled at the foot of the mountain. Early in the morning, Su Yu, having washed up, had already fried eggs, bacon, and sausages. Sliced toast was also laid out on the table. Kurama gulped down his milk, letting out a "ha" sound after finishing.

"If Daphne were here, she'd say you don't have a ladylike image."

Su Yu picked up some bacon with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, Nan Nan said.

"Tch, you talk like you're so elegant. You practically swallowed the plate whole. Can I borrow your clothes to wipe my mouth?" Kurama glanced at Su Yu disdainfully, then jumped into his arms and used his clothes to wipe his mouth. Of course, he received a playful punch from Su Yu in return.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Su Yu, I wasted your time." Just as Su Yu and Kurama were playing around, Phoebe also came out of the tent. She was too tired yesterday and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. Perhaps because she felt that Yousu Yu was a powerful companion to protect her, she overslept. Now she was sitting next to Su Yu with a red face.

"It's alright, let's eat quickly, and we'll set off after we finish eating."

Su Yu stopped playing around with Kurama and continued eating breakfast.

"Huh? You agree to let me follow you? Thank you so much, Su Yu."

When Phoebe heard Su Yu say "Let's go," she looked up with delight, as if she were seeing a Winky Joan of Arc, albeit with a somewhat grotesque Hell twist.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether there's one more person or one less. We just happened to run into each other, so let's walk together and see if we can meet anyone else along the way."

Su Yu shrugged indifferently. This wasn't some life-or-death battle. He wasn't going to kill all the opponents he encountered. Beauxbatons had always had a good relationship with the Hogwarts Academy, unlike with the other schools. So, logically and emotionally, he couldn't do something like that.
