Three-Dragon Tournament
Hermione single-handedly confronted a Romanian Longhorn and nearly killed it... This astonished countless wizards.
This was the first time everyone truly witnessed her abilities.
Those wizards who had been questioning her finally realized... that the reports were not exaggerated.
No wonder he's one of the two genius stars of Hogwarts.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Hermione's strength has actually reached the point where she could slay a dragon.
Of all the magic she possesses, there are almost none that can penetrate dragon scales and cause serious damage.
The Goblin- made sword, however, could pierce dragon scales, causing continuous damage.
This is more powerful than any magic.
But then again, isn't the weapon itself part of strength?
Does being a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases) mean you're not a whale?
Nobody forbids you from spending money on in-game purchases. Spend tens of thousands of Galleon to buy a Goblin- crafted sword.
Moreover, in a sense, a wand is a weapon, just like a sword.
Furthermore, the properties of different wands are also different. The same spell, when used by different wands, will have vastly different destructive power.
Some wands are naturally suited for casting Dark Magic, or even for combat.
For example, the legendary Elder Wand.
So, all things considered, whether it's relying on the sword in one's hand or other factors, one thing must be acknowledged:
Hermione, under William's careful tutelage, has now become incredibly skilled.
Whether it's combat skills, various forms of magic, or even mental fortitude.
What she lacked was the same as what William lacked when he first left the time loop: magic.
Her magic power is too low, which has severely limited her combat ability.
Even so, she was no longer comparable to the students at the school.
So, seeing such a wild scene, all the students excitedly stood up, trying to see clearly... whether she had really killed the fire dragon.
Hermione certainly didn't kill the Romanian Longhorn. The dragon's damage tolerance was higher than expected.
Unless you plunge the sword directly into its head, a longsword is unlikely to kill it instantly.
But the sword, stuck in its back, kept tearing at the wound, causing the Romanian Longhorn immense pain.
It spread its wings again and flew towards another dragon, trying to get it to kill Hermione.
Then, everyone witnessed a thrilling scene:
The fire dragon, as if it were a plane crash, wobbled and crashed into another fire dragon.
Two of Durmstrang's students were squatting on the spot, chewing on foxtail grass they had pulled from the ground.
Otherwise, what can they do?
They lost their Golden Egg within the first three minutes. Now, besides squatting on the ground eating grass, what else can they do?
Reclaim the Golden Egg?
The fact that the fire dragon didn't attack them, but simply guarded the Golden Egg they had retrieved... was already a very good thing.
How could they possibly dare to try and provoke the fire dragon?
"Or should we just admit defeat?" the dark-skinned witch suggested.
"Wait a little longer, hold on for another half hour..." the male wizard objected.
"This kind of fire dragon... it's completely incapable of protecting the Golden Egg. Believe it or not, everyone will be eliminated."
The longer we persist, the higher our score will be.
The wizard believed this was a contest of patience, not of strength, and certainly not about protecting the so-called Golden Egg.
In other words... this is definitely the school testing everyone's mental fortitude.
Even assuming that's not the case, they've been there for a full half hour... Shouldn't the referee give them extra points for neatness?
Just then, a roar came from overhead.
Both of them looked up abruptly, stunned. It turned out to be another fire dragon, soaring through the sky.
The fire dragon on the ground noticed it too. It raised its wings and gently sent the two Golden Egg out, then spread its wings and flew away, dodging the charging Romanian Longhorn.
The ground shook violently and cracked, tearing open a pattern resembling a spider web.
The air seemed to freeze suddenly.
Enraged by the sudden attack, the fire dragon in mid-air plummeted downwards, its back to the sky.
The poor Romanian Longhorn was first slashed by Hermione's sword, and then fell to the ground twice.
At this moment, he was attacked by his companions.
It was hit by a ferocious shoulder strike and sent flying a great distance.
But it finally realized that the longsword on its back was gone, and its ferocity was aroused. It tore at the fire dragon in mid-air.
The two Durmstrang wizards were so terrified they ran away in a panic.
They had only run a dozen meters when they saw two Golden Egg in the grass.
The two rushed over, but then stopped.
With a snap, a witch covered in blood appeared.
Hermione wiped the dragon blood from her face, bent down to pick up the two Golden Egg, and put them into the Safety Watch.
Just as she was about to leave, the female student from Durmstrang suddenly called out, "Wait!"
Hermione turned her head, her left thumb lightly pressing on the hilt of her sword, and whispered, "Is there something you need?"
The girl blushed, as if she had used up all her courage, and whispered, "That's... our Golden Egg!"
Hermione gave an "oh," raised her pointed chin, and smiled, "Not anymore... Any objections?"
The girl, her voice trembling with tears, cried out, "No!"
"Well then... goodbye."
Hermione touched the ground with her toes, spun lightly, and with a snap, Apparition and disappeared from the spot.
The wizard slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
Whew... that was scary. Luckily, he didn't say anything and maintained his dignity.
I wonder if he'll get a little extra points for his neat handwriting.
The battle between the two fire dragons also affected Phoebe.
She and another Beauxbatons student decisively threw out the Golden Egg.
After the dragon obtained the Golden Egg, she secretly approached it and used magic to put it into a hypnotic state.
Just as Phoebe picked up the two Golden Egg and was about to leave, two fire dragons lunged at her, tearing at her flesh.
The hypnotized Romanian Longhorn instantly awoke from its slumber. It stared with its yellow eyes and unleashed its dragon breath at the Phoebe.
She raised her wand, forming a huge semicircle in front of her to block the flames.
Just as she was about to step back, Hermione appeared to her side, tapped her wand lightly, and two spells struck the dragon's eyes.
The fire dragon, in pain, raised its head, spraying flames into the air.
The two fire dragons that were fighting were also affected by the flames.
"Walk!"
Hermione ran over, grabbed Phoebe's hand, Apparition away.
The match took an unexpected turn: three fire dragons clashed!
They tore at each other and trembled in mid-air, spewing flames everywhere.
This isn't Xwizard Tournament, it's clearly Triwizard Tournament of the three dragons.
In dire circumstances, the dragon trainer has no choice but to appear at the arena and subdue the three-headed dragon.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Apart from Hermione and Phoebe, no one else had Golden Egg.
In other words, everyone else was eliminated.
The Golden Egg were all in the hands of the two people.
The two women, however, showed no intention of fighting. Instead, they conjured up tables and chairs, sat in a corner of the arena, and leisurely drank hot tea.
The two chatted as they watched the spectacular battle of fire dragons in the sky.
After more than ten minutes, the three-headed Romanian Longhorn was finally taken down. The audience erupted in cheers, shouts, applause, and applause, the sound deafening.
"Look!" Li shouted, "Look! Our Champion has taken out desserts again!"
How much stuff did Hermione bring?
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were having afternoon tea.
Merlin, this is perhaps something that has never happened before!
I'd rather leave the commentary booth, walk over, and ask, "Hey, would I have the pleasure of sharing tea with you?"
The crowd hissed at Li, cursing him for being delusional.
"Okay, stop cursing, stop cursing, you're making people stupid. I was just kidding," Li said speechlessly.
"However, I'll reveal something that will make you sad."
At least one of the two Champion already has a boyfriend. Maybe both of them do.
So, just give up on that idea.
Forget about your family's toad-like genes!
Many people took off their shoes and threw them at Li.
Li lowered his head to avoid the question, then continued, "The referee is about to give scores to all the Champion."
According to the competition rules, this event is worth 100 points.
Only those who hold the Golden Egg and survive to the end can obtain the basic fifty points.
Those who didn't get the Golden Egg all scored below fifty.
Furthermore, the more Golden Egg you have, the higher your score. Granger has four Golden Egg, giving her a significant advantage.
Everyone was waiting for the referee's score.
However, the five judges on the referee's table argued among themselves and failed to make a decision for a long time.
