Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 179 Victory (2 in 1)

What does hypoxia feel like?
I believe that when most people see this question, they will think of extremely painful symptoms such as drowning and asthma.

But in fact, the hypoxic state caused by the thin oxygen outside is a very 'special' feeling.

For example, in an environment of thin air at an altitude of [-] meters, the first thing a person feels is warmth and dizziness, followed by an inexplicable sense of excitement, and at the same time, he becomes extremely confident without any pain at all.

Most pilots have experienced this feeling. Similarly, smokers will also feel this feeling, but the symptoms are much milder than the former.

Because a large number of smoke particles flood into the lungs when smoking, the body's oxygen intake is reduced, which causes slight brain hypoxia.

This dizzy, buoyant feeling is also known as smoke sickness.

The ridiculous thing is that many people who have just started smoking even feel that this feeling is very comfortable, but they don’t know that this is actually a warning from the body, asking you to stop this behavior that will cause damage to the body immediately.

At this moment, Willy's hypoxia is much more serious than the above-mentioned ones.

"Am I going to die?"

Looking at the continuously swirling flames in front of him, Willie murmured.

"No! I will not die! I am protected by the Ring of Ptekt! I am invincible!"

A sudden rush of excitement came over him, and Willie was happier than he'd been for the first time in his life.

I saw him struggling to get up from the ground, standing in the center of the flame and laughing loudly at the endless flames around him.

The vision is becoming blurred, and the surrounding flames have turned into an orange-red light wall in Willy's vision, and those flames that are constantly licking the transparent shield have turned into evil-shaped monsters. A flame monster.

Willy turned a blind eye to the ever-expanding cracks on the transparent shield and the ring of Putekt, raised his wand up high and laughed wildly, firing spells at the monsters.

A large number of barrages composed of spells dispersed large areas of flames. Although more flames would soon fill up the previous vacancies, Willy was still extremely excited. In his eyes, those 'horrifying flame monsters' They have all been turned into nothingness under their own attack.

The little bat on Willy's shoulder desperately scratched Willy's cheek, trying to wake up his mad master, but it was futile.The hallucinations caused by the lack of oxygen in the brain have completely made Willy lose his mind.

Through magic perception, Mike has a panoramic view of what happened in the fire tornado.

To be honest, the power of this fire tornado has exceeded Mike's estimation.

Once the fire tornado with a height of more than ten meters is generated, the oxygen in the center of the fire tornado will be swept away in an instant, and the enemies in the center will be in this almost zero-oxygen environment in just a few minutes. Death due to lack of oxygen.

Of course, ordinary enemies would not be able to survive that time. After all, in addition to the lack of oxygen, the temperature in the center of the fire tornado is also terribly high, and ordinary people will be burned to ashes in an instant after entering.

In addition, despite the fact that Willie is so energetic now, he can even release the spell.

But this is entirely due to the fact that he drank a large amount of potions before the start of the game, resulting in enhanced physical fitness. Normal people simply have no ability to move in a state of hypoxia.

Thinking of this, Mike was also secretly anxious.

Why hasn't the referee declared himself victorious until now?Why haven't those professors on the sidelines come up to forcefully terminate the game?

You must know that if this continues, Willy will become a fool even if he does not die. You must know that if the oxygen deficiency is too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain. Mike did not think that he would not get the bet.

And at this moment, outside the arena, Snape and a group of professors were staring at the flame tornado rising from the arena.

Naturally, they couldn't hide the scene in the fire tornado, but they didn't know the danger of hypoxia, and they were already deceived by Willie's lively state at this moment.

Wizards, especially those who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood, are dismissive of the science of the Muggle world. In their view, magic is everything.

Because of this concept, they even reject anything in the Muggle world, so many wizards are lacking in logical thinking, reverse thinking, and common sense.

So why not eat minced meat is common in the wizarding world, and there are even many pure-blood wizards who stubbornly believe that the earth is in the shape of a checkerboard.

And Snape is already considered a genius in the wizarding world, at least his level of logical thinking is quite high.

The puzzles he posed in the plot of the original Philosopher's Stone are nightmare-level problems for most wizards, because wizards have not received logic education, so their brains can't turn around.

But for Muggles who have received a complete education since childhood, this kind of puzzle is not very difficult, at least Hermione, a top student who graduated from elementary school, can solve it.

Unfortunately, even though Snape was already a genius among wizards, he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation in front of him.

----------------

Seeing the nonchalant expressions of the professors in front of him, Professor Flitwick frowned.

Mike had discussed this fire tornado curse with him, so he also knew the concept of hypoxia from Mike, but the group of colleagues in front of him obviously didn't know it.

After hesitating again and again, Flitwick is still ready to forcibly terminate the match. Although doing so may be said to favor his own students, it is nothing compared to letting Willie die on the field.

But some people don't want him to do that.

"Are you trying to favor your own students?"

As if he had noticed Flitwick's actions, Snape said coldly.

"Severus, the overall situation is settled, let's end the game."

"I don't think so, Felius. Willy is protected by the Ring of Putekt, and Mike can't hurt him in a short time. With Mike's magic power, how long can he last such a massive fire tornado?"

Looking at the cheerful Snape in front of him, Flitwick couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, he really had the urge to ignore this matter, but thinking of the possible impact on Mike after Willy's accident still made him I endured this thought.

"Listen to me, Severus. Mike and I have studied this curse. Its real function has never been to kill the enemy with high temperature, but the lack of oxygen!" Flitwick explained with dancing, "The flame Combustion consumes oxygen, and now Willie is in a state of hypoxia. Oxygen depletion! Suffocation, you know?"

Snape's smile froze at the words.

He is a mixed race who has lived in Muggle society since he was a child. He still understands oxygen and suffocation, although he doesn't quite understand that flames will consume oxygen because he didn't learn Muggle knowledge after graduating from elementary school. Principle, but this does not affect his understanding of the seriousness of the matter.

"Are you serious? Felius!"

"Of course, there is no time, hurry up!"

Seeing Professor Flitwick's serious expression, Snape no longer hesitated, and directly announced the result of the competition.

"Mr. Townley, please stop your behavior, you have won this game!"

Because of the Loud Voice Curse, everyone at the scene, including Mike, heard Snape's somewhat anxious voice.

Mike breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, the magic power and spiritual power consumed to maintain the fire tornado are quite terrifying, and now his magic power and mental power are almost bottomed out.

Hastily put down the wand, interrupting the supply of magic power to the fire tornado.

The fire tornado that lost its magic power supply became water without a source and a tree without roots, and turned into sparks in an instant and dissipated in mid-air.

Willy in the fire tornado appeared in front of everyone, only to see that the transparent shield covering his body was full of cracks at the moment, and it seemed that it would collapse in the next moment.And at this moment, he himself also had a grim expression, with saliva running down his face all over his face.

The sudden disappearance of the flame obviously made Willy a little uncomfortable. He looked around blankly while greedily breathing in the oxygen-rich air. The air full of burnt smell could not be sweeter to him at the moment. .

Suddenly, his eyes fell on Mike not far away, and the memory lost due to lack of oxygen finally began to slowly recover.

Willie raised his wand tremblingly, as if he wanted to continue fighting.

However, Mike didn't give him this chance, and knocked him unconscious as soon as he raised his hand. What he needs now is treatment, not fighting.

"Um, I don't know why, but Professor Snape announced the result of the competition, and Mr. Townley successfully advanced to the final!" Lockhart said in embarrassment in the hanging attic, "It's a pity for Willy, I hope he doesn't something."

After Lockhart officially announced the result of the game, the stands finally boiled over. Ravenclaw and the little wizards of Gryffindor stood up and applauded like crazy. The former was happy for Mike, while the latter was indeed gloating. They were very happy that Slytherin missed the final as did they.

The Hufflepuff students were also applauding. They were always neutral, but now they were just applauding for Mike out of politeness.

In contrast, the reaction of the Slytherin students was very interesting. They first fell into a strange silence, and then they seemed to have reacted suddenly, and began to breathe out fragrance.

They didn't understand why Snape declared Mike victorious, and they didn't care about Willy's life or death, all they cared about was honor.

Willy failed, lost to Mike, a second-year student, and lost the qualification to advance to the finals. This also meant that Slytherin's honor was discredited, which they could not accept.

But whether they accept it or not, the fact is that Mike has won.

The giant light blue eagle above the Ravenclaw stand raised its head to the sky and screamed, and let out a sharp eagle cry.Immediately afterwards, the giant eagle flapped its wings and rushed towards the opposite Slytherin stand.

The huge wings covered the sky, and the Slytherin students in the stands couldn't help but close their eyes when they saw the giant eagle rushing towards them.

However, the giant eagle's target is not them.

A pair of giant claws grabbed the giant snake above the Slytherin stand, and the sharp claws on the giant claws easily broke through the scale defense of the giant snake and penetrated into the flesh.

"hiss!"

The giant snake let out a cry of pain, turned its head and bit the giant eagle.However, a fierce gleam flashed in the giant eagle's eyes, and the flickering eagle's beak pecked down like lightning, hitting the giant snake's eyes accurately.

The long eagle's beak pierced the brain from the giant snake's eyes, and large streams of light mist gushed out from the wound, and the giant snake disappeared from people's eyes in an instant.

And after absorbing the overflowing mist of light, the giant eagle's entire body swelled up, and it was confronting the giant badger that had also swollen a lot.

"Today's competition is finally over, and the winners are Ravenclaw's Mike and Hufflepuff's Cedric!" Lockhart announced excitedly, "I want to know who is stronger between the two of them." Do you? Stay tuned for next week’s duel contest finals! By the way, Bruno and Willie will also compete for the third place in the finals next week.”

Amidst the cheers like a tsunami, Mike walked up the platform step by step with firm eyes.

A golden throne on a high platform awaits him.

"I knew you could do it."

Cedric, who was sitting on another throne, stood up and applauded when he saw Mike walking towards him.

"Of course, we made an appointment to fight again, didn't we?"

After all, both of them laughed. The two of them didn't know each other. In the first grade, Mike and Cedric even had some conflicts because of Dolphin, but now, the two have become friends.

Cedric stepped forward with open arms and gave Mike a hug.

"congratulations!"

The scene of the two embracing was projected to all the audience present through the magic projection on the spot. Seeing the harmonious relationship between the two, all the professors present also smiled.

If the relationship between Mike and Cedric is tense, it will inevitably cause confrontation between Ravenclaw College and Hufflepuff College, which will have a great negative impact on the order of Hogwarts.

It's no joke that the college sees hatred and confrontation, just look at Gryffindor and Slytherin.

These two colleges have been feuding with each other for so many years. Not only do their students often fight and violate school rules in school, but they even hate each other when they meet outside the school.

In addition, this kind of college hatred has even been brought after graduation. Many people who graduated from Gryffindor and those who graduated from Slytherin have disliked each other all their lives, and they will find opportunities to trip each other up whenever they have the opportunity .

But now, the harmonious relationship between Cedric and Mike means that the relationship between Ravenclaw College and Hufflepuff College will not become tense because of the duel competition, but may even get better because of it. That's what professors want to see.

Mike and Cedric on the other side of the high platform obviously didn't think so much, they walked down the high platform together, and Cedric asked with a smile:

"I feel a little hungry now after a fight. Would you like to go to the kitchen with me to eat later?"

"No." Mike rubbed the raven pendant around his neck, and said meaningfully, "I have more important things to deal with."
