Simulation: Start with one person

'You can ask Erza for her opinion when setting up a trap. '

'I see, I didn't expect that at all. '

Hearing this, Irene was a little annoyed. She was busy completing the task and didn't think about anything else at all.

'It's not a big problem, there are still two venues to arrange, you have to seize the opportunity. '

'Thank you. '

Erin said that for some reasons, her relationship with her daughter was very ordinary, and it would take time and opportunity to get harmonious.

At the same time, Erza wielded a variety of weapons, destroying the terrain.

That is to say, what Fang Rui and Irene set up is that the trap will be triggered only when someone steps on or touches it, otherwise all the traps and props will have been triggered.

"Erza, it's okay, let's go to the second venue."

Erza stopped and headed to the Black Lake with the two of them. Fang Rui threw out three energy bubbles to cover the three of them, and then floated towards the Black Lake.

"Competing in the water? It's very interesting..." Erin said.

"Fighting in the water..." Erza looked serious. She had almost never fought in the water.

'After I go back, I need to exercise my relevant abilities. '

After all, some tasks are to defeat monsters in the sea and enhance the ability to fight in the water, which is a reasonable thing.

'Armor for underwater operations and combat? '

After pondering, the three of them have arrived at the center of the black lake. The huge squid is lying at the bottom of the black lake. The mermaids are clearly visible in the center of the lake. Other magical animals are also wandering in the lake...

"Isn't it dangerous to have so many monsters near the school?"

Erza muttered softly, and even though she was in the water, the other two could also hear her.

"Additional telepathy." But Erza couldn't hear Fang Rui and Irene's voices, so Irene added a conversation ability to Erza.

"These magical animals are well-behaved and will not harm students."

Fang Rui's words of explanation echoed in Erza's mind. She nodded slightly to show her understanding, and then said, "I can't help in the water."

"It's okay, you can give me and Irene advice. After all, setting up the competition venue requires brainstorming."

"I understand."

Chapter 410 Qualifiers

After saying that, Fang Rui floated to the side, away from Erza and Irene, and began to work seriously.

There was nothing arranged in the lake. Dumbledore only talked to the mermaid tribe about the competition and asked them to act according to the rules. As for the magical animals in the lake, they would be driven out of the venue during the competition.

That is, with the mermaid tribe as the center and a radius of several hundred meters.

"Let's... start too!"

Erin looked at Erza and asked softly.

Erza's eyes turned to Fang Rui, watching him move away while spreading the light ball. After a moment of silence, she turned to look at Irene, nodded gently and said, "Okay."

"How to arrange traps and other props, Erza, do you have any suggestions?"

Erin asked, her tone slightly stiff.

"Any suggestions? I think 'props' to improve your strength should be quite popular."

Erza thought carefully for a while and gave her advice.

Irene didn't say anything. She arranged the place as Erza said and tried to find a topic to chat with Erza.

When Fang Rui was setting up the venue, he paid attention to the situation of the other two people. When he saw the two people talking, he nodded slightly to express his satisfaction.

The second arena was quickly set up, and the three of them headed to the third arena.

The competition venue for the third event is not near Hogwarts Castle, but in another open field with flat ground, green grass, and complex mazes moving...

"The moving maze..." Erza seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

"What needs to be added to the maze?" Erin asked.

"Some monsters, 'props' and traps." Fang Rui said, "You two are still in a group, and I am in a group. As for the distribution of traps and 'props', there is no need to follow any rules. Monsters must Keep wandering..."

"No problem." Fang Rui's request was very simple for Irene.

Thanks to the hard work of the three, the layout of the third arena was quickly completed. The short time they got together did not bring any obvious changes to the relationship between Erza and Irene.

Fang Rui didn't have any extra thoughts about this. A person's thoughts can be easily changed or difficult to change. Before he provided help, the two of them had been getting along for a while, but their relationship is still the same today. That embarrassment is enough to explain certain problems.

After the work was over, the three of them separated, and Fang Rui returned to the castle.

At this time, registration for various schools has ended. Professor McGonagall is counting all registered wizards. As for Snape, he is instructing some people to install live broadcast devices.

Some wizards gathered around Snape and others, looking at the live broadcast device they had never seen before, with extremely serious expressions.

"Some of them look like Muggle creations." A wizard said, and the other wizards on the side nodded in agreement with someone's words.

"It is indeed very similar, especially the shape, the silvery metallic texture and the gaps."

A certain wizard who was familiar with Muggle technological creations told this story.

After hearing this, Snape explained: "These things are not Muggle creations, but alchemy items."

Some wizards hate technology very much. If they don't explain it clearly, someone will secretly destroy it.

"The functionality is better than technological items."

Snape said in a positive tone. He was not telling lies. After all, the difference between the two products was close to 30 to [-] years.

"Really?" Some wizards didn't believe Snape's words.

Snape didn't say anything about this, but decided to find someone to help him and add some defensive spells to the live broadcast equipment to prevent it from being destroyed by certain people.

The installation of the live broadcast equipment went smoothly, and the process of finding help was also smooth. Many people were willing to help, and the reinforcement of the live broadcast equipment was easily completed.

Half a day later, the qualifiers officially started.

The various forces that were invited were watching the live broadcast in the guest house. Some people were near the qualifying venue. All professors from other schools were on site. Some students who did not participate were on site and some were watching the live broadcast in the cafeteria.

"The game has begun!"

Fang Rui did not go to watch it live, but watched the live broadcast in the entertainment venue he built. The method he used was not conventional live broadcast equipment, but a magic technique to project the scene of the competition venue five meters away in front of him.

Large screen, coupled with high definition, is better than live broadcast equipment.

"Let me take a look, who are the people playing in the first round? Well, I don't know them all..."

A bunch of unknown people stood at the starting line, holding broomsticks between their legs and clasping their hands.

"Start!" Professor McGonagall, as the referee, gave the order, and the group of people rushed out, flying at a low altitude and shuttling through the track at high speed.

"Speaking of which, can water enter a broomstick?"

There were noisy sounds coming from the projection screen. It was the audience discussing. After hearing a certain sentence, Fang Rui nodded thoughtfully. He should be able to touch water... right?

The brief doubt was thrown away by him, and then he began to watch the game seriously.

In the track, a group of people shuttled quickly. After leaving the area without traps and props, several people began to suffer...

"What's going on?" Someone hit a light group and immediately hovered in the air. It took five seconds before he could continue to move.

At this time, the others had already rushed out a few hundred meters, and of course they were the ones who had not encountered the trap.

The rest either hit the trap and returned directly to the starting point, or were entangled in vines and fell off their broomsticks, disqualifying them from the competition.

"Wow! You fell hard, are you okay?"

Many people watching the live broadcast turned their backs when they saw someone rolling on the ground, indicating that they were scared.

"The chest is rising and falling, but he is still alive."

"Someone went to save him."

"I have to say that the level of danger in this game is quite high."

After seeing the tragic situation of the first batch of contestants, the subsequent contestants were somewhat prepared and said they should be careful of traps.

There were not many traps on the land track, but the little wizard who was unprepared was caught in a series of traps, and only two people successfully crossed the track.

Seeing three light groups floating at the entrance of the water track, the two people, worried that it was a trap, immediately raised their altitude in an attempt to avoid the light groups.

"Excellent!" Fang Rui smiled and clapped gently, praising the two people's actions.

As soon as the two flew above the lake, the broomstick lost control.

"Huh?!" The two of them exclaimed and fell towards the lake.

It is forbidden to fly over the water track.

Unprepared, the two fell into the water and were immediately disqualified after a few seconds.

"Interesting." Greenwald, who was watching the live broadcast, said it was very interesting.

Dumbledore on the side didn't say anything. The game was full of fun and interesting.

"Oh!" The non-competitors and spectators all made surprised sounds. It was a track full of traps, so interesting!

None of the first batch of contestants passed, which was beyond most people’s expectations.

The second group of runners stood at the starting line. Different from the excitement of the previous group, these people were full of vigilance, looking at the rocks, bushes and light groups.

"start!"

With another command, a group of people rushed out of the starting line, riding broomsticks and moving at high speed. With the experience of the previous group of people, they avoided obstacles one after another and approached the water track...

Before arriving at the water track, the contestants cast a magic spell on themselves, the Head Bubble Charm, so that they could breathe underwater.

After entering the water track, the live broadcast screen also changed, showing the underwater situation. The light groups floating in the water made many people raise their eyebrows slightly.

Moreover, the resistance in the water is quite strong, and the contestants do not move very fast.

"I thought there was a monster waiting for them in the water, but there wasn't? What a surprise!"

A certain audience member said this with a somewhat regretful tone.

Next to him, another audience member looked at him in surprise and complained: "No, no, no, you are more surprising. You arrange monsters in the water to block the way. Are you a devil?"

Originally, in water, the movement speed would be much slower, but if a few more monsters attacked, the elimination rate would suddenly increase.
