I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 167 Participating Colleges

After reading the competition system, the next page of information is the information that Ives is most concerned about – the contestants.

In this restarted duel competition, a total of eight magic schools from around the world, including Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, have signed up to participate in the youth group.

The other seven major magic schools are Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France, Durmstrang Academy in Northern Europe, Ilvermorny School of Magic in the United States, Castello Bruxo in Brazil, Wagado in Uganda, and The Magic Institute and Kunlun of the Celestial Dynasty.

The contestant at Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry is Fleur Delacour, a person Ives has met once before.

Although she is only in the fifth grade now, judging from the fact that she was brought to the Medal of Merlin award ceremony by Beauxbatons’ principal Madame Maxime, she is undoubtedly Madam Maxime’s most proud student.

Durmstrang’s contestant was also a man whom Elvis was familiar with, Viktor Krum, who was the same age as Fleur and was in fifth grade this year.

When he came into contact with Quidditch, Ives would occasionally pay attention to the major Quidditch competitions.

The reason why Krum’s name is familiar to him is not only because of his previous life, but also because Krum was selected by the Bulgarian national Quidditch team last month and became a professional seeker.

As soon as the news was published in the newspaper, it attracted widespread attention. Being able to be selected by the national team when he was just in fifth grade shows Krum’s ability.

None of the remaining contestants, Ives, had ever heard of it.

The contestant in Ilvermorny is a sixth-grade witch named Elizabeth Smachlin, who should be Cone’s disciple.

Castello Bruxo’s contestant is a sixth-year wizard named Tavares Clay.

Wagadu’s contestant is Nasai Onai, a sixth-year wizard.

The contestant of the magic house is a sixth-grade wizard named Itou Shuichi.

The Celestial Kunlun contestant that Ives is most concerned about is a seventeen-year-old wizard named Lu Chaoyang.

The brief information only contains basic information such as the ages of several contestants.

The strange thing is that Avis didn’t find his information.

Professor Flitwick explained:”In fact, the school directors are opposed to letting you represent Hogwarts in the competition. They think it would be safer to replace you with a senior wizard. However, the principal has always insisted on his own ideas, so Hogwarts The contestants for Ci have not yet been decided.”

“We came to the United States a few days in advance to submit your registration information.”

It’s a good move to kill first and then tell the story. The principal finally figured it out. Ives sighed in his heart.

Now that the deal is done, what else can the school directors do except stare? As long as Dumbledore didn’t make a big mistake, they can’t. Impeach the principal from power.

Except for Ives, most of the contestants are young wizards in the fifth and sixth grades. Judging from their age alone, the older wizards will undoubtedly have a great advantage – they learn magic. It takes a long time, and the total amount of magic power in the body is much more than that of a younger wizard.

However, those who can be sent by the school to compete will not be ordinary people. At least Ives believes that he has a high probability of winning, even if He was only in the second grade.

After taking a few minutes to read all the information in his hand, Professor Flitwick asked:”Nubakt, how will we be divided into groups then?”

“We won’t know until the first day of the game,” Cone shrugged, and then said:”Okay, let me take you to where I live first.”

As he said that, he took them out of the office and took the elevator to a corridor in the lobby on the first floor.

“An anti-Apparition spell was deployed in the Congress headquarters, and only a specific small area could disapparate.”Cone explained as he walked.

Bang bang!

This corridor was filled with the sound of apparating through the air. Many wizards wearing pointed hats and robes appeared here, and then rushed towards the elevator without stopping.

“Hold on to me.”

The three of them stopped under the sign that said”Apparition only.” Cone reminded him, and Professor Ives and Flitwick obediently put their hands on his shoulders.

With a burst of spinning, waiting for Ives When they came to their senses again, they were already standing in a strange place.

In front of them was a slanted house standing on a hillside. Its roof had completely fallen to one side, like a beret. Only From the appearance, it is as strange as the Burrow.

But Ives is used to it. Most wizards’ houses are in this style.

The house is surrounded by some dilapidated fences, forming a circle. The courtyard. On the right hand side, there is a winding stream that passes through the courtyard and merges into the river at the foot of the hillside.

Cone led the two people towards the thick mahogany door, and the three of them walked in the white snow one after another. There were footprints left on the ground.

The leader, Cone, reached out and knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, and a slender, blonde girl came out.

“Mr. Cone,” she called sweetly after seeing the person outside the door.

“Elizabeth,” Cone smiled and touched the girl’s head with his big hand. It wasn’t until the girl showed some impatience that he turned sideways and introduced her:”Elizabeth, I invited these two. of guests.

They are the ones I mentioned to you, my good friend Filius Flivi, and his disciple Ivis Evans.”

“Hello.”Elizabeth said hello politely.

“Hello,” Ives and the others replied at the same time.

Let the three of them get to know each other briefly, Cone suddenly raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said:”Okay, I have to go, I have another person next. Important meetings to attend.”

Without waiting for everyone to say goodbye, he waved his magic wand and disappeared.

“Please come in.”

After Cone left, Elizabeth made a gesture to invite Ives and the others into the house.

As soon as they stepped into the door, a large feather duster flew over by itself. It spun around the two of them several times, gently Clean the dust off their bodies.

While waiting for the feather duster to finish its work, two pairs of fluffy cotton slippers jumped off the shoe cabinet and walked up to the two of them.

Ives and Foley Professor Wei put on clean slippers and then walked into the living room.

In the living room, a roaring fire was burning in the fireplace, filling the whole room with a deep warmth. There was a blanket piled messily on the sofa near the fireplace. There are also several magazines pressed on it:”Witch’s Companion”》、《Transfiguration Today” and Wizards Weekly. There is also a cup of fragrant coffee on the white marble coffee table next to the sofa.

It seemed that Elizabeth had been nestled in a war

m blanket while reading a magazine and drinking coffee.

The decoration of the entire room is not luxurious, but is full of life because of magic.

On a clothes drying rack in the corner, an iron is working hard to smooth out the wrinkles on a coat; there are also several pots of green plants placed at the door of the living room. Even though it is already winter, these plants are still not withered, with lush green leaves. Adding some life to the whole room; a few pairs of scissors are floating in the air, pruning the leaves of these plants.

Elizabeth blushed when she saw the pages of magazines spread out on the sofa, and hurriedly packed them away along with the blanket.

Her hand speed was so fast that Avis didn’t even see the content clearly.

Done���After all, she asked the two guests to sit down.

After pouring a cup of tea for Professor Ives and Flitwick respectively, Elizabeth introduced herself:”Two distinguished guests, my name is Elizabeth Smachlin, and I am a disciple of Mr. Cone.” Another introduction to each other. , Elizabeth looked at the young man sitting opposite her curiously.

The little wizard who will come to the United States with the school professor at this time is almost certainly a contestant in the duel competition to be held in a few days.

But if she guessed correctly, the little wizard in front of her should only be in the second or third grade, right?

A question mark slowly appeared on Elizabeth’s head. Could it be that the young wizard in his second or third year was here to make up the numbers?

But the girl felt that Avis’s name was very familiar, so she looked up and saw”Today’s Transfiguration” on the table.

On the cover of this magazine, Ives is standing with Professor Marchban and Professor McGonagall, smiling in front of the camera.

Elizabeth pointed to the magazine cover in disbelief and then to Ives.

“At your age, you have actually learned Animagus transformation?”Her tone was filled with shock.

“Yes. Ives nodded humbly. He did not expect that Elizabeth would be a reader of”Transformation Today”.

It seems that she must be very talented in Transfiguration, otherwise she would not pay attention to this highly academic book. magazine. Of course, although most wizards are not readers of”Transfiguration Today”, they have more or less heard of the name of this magazine. Not everyone is like Lockhart, an uneducated person. After in – depth exchanges, Elizabeth was more and more shocked by the talent of the little wizard in front of her.

She did not expect that a second-year wizard already had a second-level Merlin Medal, and even learned the Animag What was she doing in the second grade? Elizabeth looked up at the sky. She seemed to have just been exposed to the transformation of dead things into living things at that time.

Then she couldn’t help asking Avis her doubts – she had read Avis There were many questions about the paper Weiss submitted.

Originally, she wanted to wait until her teacher Cone got off work before asking him, but now that the author of the paper is here, who else could she ask besides him? ?

Ives organized his language and answered Elizabeth’s questions one by one.

Elizabeth’s shock has turned into deep admiration. Ives’ knowledge reserve and magic level are much higher than she imagined.

She originally She was still determined to win this duel competition, but now she was a little unsure. If Avis’s total magic power was larger, who else would be his opponent?

Fortunately, she turned a little lucky. Fortunately, Avis Si is only 12 years old now, and the total amount of magic power must not be as good as hers. Otherwise, there is no need to compete, just send the championship trophy directly to Ives’s room. After chatting for a while,

Professor Flitwick raised his tea cup and took a sip, and said :”By the way, Elizabeth…can I call you that?””

“Of course,” Elizabeth smiled and nodded,”You are my teacher’s best friend, of course you can call me that.

She looked at Avis again,”Aves, you too.””

Although they will be opponents in the duel competition in a few days, but other than that, the two of them have nothing to do with each other. It is better to maintain a good relationship with a genius than to become enemies.

“Elizabeth, has Nubakt explained your opponent to you in detail? The girl shook her head,”

Not yet.””

“That’s just right. Let me tell you about the situation of several other schools.”

Hearing this, Ives and Elizabeth put on serious expressions, and Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction.

“Let’s start with Durmstrang.” After thinking about it, he decided to skip Hogwarts and Ilvermorny. After a duel between Ivis and Elizabeth, they would have a better understanding of each other’s strength. As you know.

Durmstrang Academy is one of the three largest magic schools in Europe. After the second principal took office, he established a tradition of focusing on duels and combat magic, both of which are still indispensable to Durmstrang today. Durmstrang has been criticized for accepting the existence of black magic. In recent years, its international reputation has plummeted due to the emergence of a notorious former student.

“Although the use of dark magic is expressly prohibited in dueling competitions, this academy cannot be underestimated because of this,” Professor Flitwick continued to introduce other academies.

France’s Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry does not have the same level of expertise in magic as Durmstrang. There is a bias in teaching. It has always been���The beautiful campus environment and the romantic nature of the French are famous internationally.

It should be noted that the ancient wizarding school’s stunning castle and grounds were partly funded by the alchemists Nicolas and Perenal Flamel when they visited Beauxbatons in their youth..

Therefore, Flamel’s alchemy notes are likely to be left on the Beauxbatons campus, and Avis and the others need to pay attention to the alchemy techniques used by Beauxbatons contestants.

Castello Bruxo in Brazil is located deep in the rainforest of Brazil, and given the location of this school, their students receive the best education in Herbology and Magizoology

“Castro Bruxo has always maintained contact with Hogwarts,” Professor Flitwick looked at Ives, who was sitting beside him.”Every three years, the school sends interested exchange students to Brazil.”

“If you are interested in magical zoology, potion making or herbalism, you can sign up and after screening, you can study at Castello Bruxo for a semester, but this exchange program is expensive.”

Professor Flitwick paused and then continued:”The next exchange meeting will be held next year. Ives, if you are interested, I can pay for it for you. Ives shook his head, but he did not explicitly reject his kindness,”Professor, I will think about it carefully.””
