A Competition Heading Toward Hell Mode

"Very well, Dracula of Beauxbatons has jumped onto the stone platform."

Will she be able to find the key to break the magic trap when the fire dragon flies to the next stone platform?

Oh, it seems that Castelobruxo's Ilvas has given another command to the fire dragon beneath him.

The speed has slowed down.

Is it to conserve energy before reaching the magic trap?

Phoebe ignored the explanation.

To outsiders, she may look down on other Champion, but in reality, she is very competitive and cares a lot about winning.

Even when they have the advantage, they only appear to underestimate their opponents.

Her mind was completely focused on those keys.

Would it be feasible to destroy them with a direct, Confringo?

Perhaps we could use other control spells to take all these keys with us?

So, in that one second when she appeared to be in a daze, she had already considered several options.

Considering the match only lasts one hour.

There are so many more stone platforms behind them.

Direct destruction or taking all the keys might be feasible.

But considering that there were three people following behind her.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for her to use her own unique methods to crack it.

Furthermore, it could lead to misunderstandings later on. Why not just destroy everything directly? Could it be that she made some discovery?

This can also delay the latter's time.

"Look! What kind of magic is that?"

"Why didn't you use a magic wand?"

Amidst the gasps of the crowd in the stands, Phoebe began to dance.

The Winky golden hair scattered as it spun, along with the keys that shone like jewels.

They surrounded the Phoebe, like butterflies fluttering around a flower.

However, they, imbued with a false spirituality by magic, seem to have been bewitched as well.

Phoebe stopped dancing, raised her fair right hand high, and a blue key flew out from the key cluster and landed on it.

The instant the key touches the fingertip.

The stone platform stopped moving.

The Veela inside the glass dome also stopped dancing.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and admiration for Phoebe Magic.

At the same time, the speed at which Opaleye were freed from restraint increased dramatically.

However, the very next second after it charged forward, it folded its wings and began to turn back.

Phoebe jumped back onto the dragon's back and flew towards the next stone platform.

Meanwhile, Ilvas, who is currently ranked second, is also approaching the first stone platform.

Unlike Phoebe's performance.

When the Peruvian Vipertooth approached the 'swamp', it almost stopped in place.

This caused the stone platform, which should have moved along with it, to remain motionless in place.

However, instead of Ilvas onto the stone platform, he quickly drew his wand and pointed it at himself.

Just as everyone was finding his behavior strange, the Peruvian Vipertooth raised its neck high, and Ilvas was thrown directly out.

The students on stage gasped in surprise.

The students in Castelobruxo even stood up.

Madame Vokanova, a member of the judging panel, gripped the armrests tightly, her fingers turning white.

However, Ilvas did not fall vertically.

He swayed in the air like a willow leaf falling from a book.

"Beautiful! Castelobruxo's Ilvas noticed the fire dragon beneath him in advance and cast Slowing Charm on himself."

He issued another instruction.

This instruction sounds complicated.

The Peruvian Vipertooth has made a move!

Its head was down, and then it opened its eyes.

That was brilliant!

The Peruvian Vipertooth caught Ilvas.

Then she closed her eyes again.

Now Krum, no, Harry is second!

He also approached the first stone platform.

Miss Dracula, who is in first place, is almost at second place.

Harry and Hungarian Horntail also quickly approached the 'swamp'.

However, they were faced with a viscous wall of air that pushed them backward.

The speed of the Hungarian Horntail, however, was hardly diminished.

"Confringo!" Harry aimed at the keys and cast an Exploding Charm.

Before the match even started, he could tell from Professor Flitwick's expression that...

These familiar winged keys originated from Professor Flitwick.

From the magical traps in the restricted area on the fourth floor when he was in first grade, he learned the most important thing: everything has its priorities.

The purpose at the time was to allow Voldemort, who was possessed by Quirrell, to successfully enter the final Chamber of Secrets.

They trapped him there and suspended him with Philosopher's Stone.

This gives Dumbledore a possible opportunity to save Quirrell.

This was something Dumbledore told him when Ron asked him about it during a meeting at the manor house at Number 10, Rose during the previous summer vacation.

Therefore, as a secondary magical trap, it will be deliberately made very simple.

In order to allow Quirrell, who was possessed, to break in even though his intelligence had been reduced.

This time, the master guided the dragon through the entire track with its eyes closed.

As a low-level magical trap, it shouldn't be too difficult.

It might be better to be more direct.

Sure enough, after the Exploding Charm took effect with a series of crackling sounds and the smoke dissipated...

The stagnant feeling in the air had completely disappeared.

The Veela in the stone platform also stopped dancing.

Returning to the dragon,

Ilvas guided the fire dragon to prepare to return to the track using commands.

Krum was also close behind and almost reached the first stone platform, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, these keys and magical traps are no longer obstacles.

Their dragons being the smallest in size is no longer a disadvantage.

Instead, it can be directly translated into an advantage in speed.

Moreover, each time you pass a stone platform...

The Veela on the stone platform will then stop dancing.

In the end, their fire dragons were even able to stop closing their eyes.

The only difference between them and Harry and Phoebe is gone.

That was their best time to sprint ahead.

"Merlin's beard! Harry's too hasty!" Draco slapped his thigh hard from the stands.

"Explain in detail?"

"Didn't he save time?"

"Faster than my goddess!"

Faced with questions from the students around him.

Draco sighed and explained, "If I were Harry..."

I have no chance of fixing those stone platforms on 'my' track.

My fire dragon is not afraid of magical barriers at all.

Each time a stone platform is completed, it means that the group of Veela on that platform stop dancing.

That means that when the dragon reaches the longest distance at the end, it can open its eyes.

At that time, the two fastest dragons Krum and Ilvas, will likely catch up.

And even if Harry were to break the magical trap...

Don't make it that simple!

Dracula, the first, used her unique magic to get the key.

This is probably also to prevent the Champion from having a solution later on.

Incidentally, it could be misleading.

Harry, on the other hand, simply used a simple Exploding Charm.

Now, even traps specifically designed for small Charmanders are ineffective against Ilvas and Krum.

Harry single-handedly turned this game into an easier format.

It led them to hell.
