Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 73 The Colosseum

Godric Gryffindor used the skill "Words" on you, and your will will be weakened for a short time.

Godric Gryffindor has used the skill "Changing Face" on you, and the faction has changed to "Hostile". The character has a red name and can attack.

Godric Gryffindor used the skill "Deterrence" on you, you suffered a little mental damage, and you were blessed with the "Cowardly" effect...

If Connor had a system bar, he might have seen this kind of prompt message, reminding him that he had been given a strange buff, but Connor Goose didn't have such a thing, so he felt a bit bad now...

Connor felt inexplicably scared, afraid of the red-haired monster in front of him, afraid of failing the challenge due to his lack of strength, afraid of being punished and unable to leave here... All kinds of "fear" thoughts came to his mind, making Connor turn around and run away impulse.

Fortunately, it was just a physical impulse. I don’t know whether it was due to Occlumency or the effect of the Far East Alchemy. At this time, there was a "divergence" between Connor's mind and body. Connor could feel the sense of confusion in his body. Ideas have a gap.

In fact, it was: Connor didn't feel how scared he was, but his body was trembling dishonestly.

According to the three theorems of "when things go wrong, there must be demons", "whatever the enemy opposes, we will support", "if you stop and stop, you will be subject to chaos", under the gaze of the evil forces, Connor did not have too much Thinking, blurted out:

"I accept!"

-

Gryffindor's aura receded like a tide, and a smile appeared on the sculpture-like angular face:

"Very well, boy, you are very nice, I am starting to like you a little bit."

At this moment, Connor's "state" seemed to have returned to normal, his face was expressionless, and he was thinking about what just happened in his heart.

Apparently, Connor had that abnormal "scared" thought just now when he was hit by a spell like the "Fear Curse".

But... Not to mention that Connor has never heard of the fear spell, is Gryffindor the kind of person who would use spells like fear spells on students?Gryffindor should be the wizard mouth on the good side...

"I just cast a little spell on you..."

... Ba... Are you going to admit it shamelessly? !I misread you!

"...It is a small spell that can amplify emotions and test your instinctive reactions. You can make a choice immediately. It seems that you are much braver than you look on the outside, not bad."

"..." So it's this kind of spell? In other words, it turns out that you like the kind of students who are only rushing.

Connor scratched his head, so am I... cheating?

And I... did I subconsciously feel fear when faced with that choice?
If the effect of this spell is to amplify emotions, what was I thinking when I started?Am I afraid of failing?Still... afraid of not being able to get out of here...

After a moment of confusion, Connor quickly came back to his senses, planning to stick to the character set he had inadvertently built in Gryffindor's heart.

Connor said in a serious tone, with a passionate tone in the second class: "I believe I will succeed!"

"Papa papa" Gryffindor laughed and clapped his hands: "Okay, yes, this is the aura that a man should have, Connor, I am optimistic about you."

"However, the consequences of failure will not change..." Gryffindor adjusted his medieval aristocratic dress that looked very ancient (chi) old (ou), and stretched out his left hand to Connor, he said :

"Then, next, we have to make a contract."

"contract?"

"That's right, this is not only a proof of your identity, but also a ticket for admission. You can only accept my test if you sign a contract."

"Then, the content of the contract..."

"It's just to prove that you are qualified to participate, kid, don't be a mother-in-law, I'm tired of holding it!"

Seeing that Gryffindor looked a little impatient, Connor reluctantly handed out his little hand, and held his wand tightly behind his back with the other hand, thinking that if he heard something wrong with the "terms" Immediately chopped off my own hand...

Gryffindor held Connor's hand and chanted loudly: "I, Godric Gryffindor, hereby testify that Connor Lake is qualified to inherit my legacy." let go.

……

That's it?

Connor stared blankly at Gryffindor, his hands still in place.

"Hey, what are you thinking? It's that simple, and it's just an admission ticket, you haven't passed my test yet!"

"Oh oh oh." Connor came back to his senses with a sigh of relief, what, I was startled, I thought he would sign some kind of "female contract", "slave contract" and other messy things...

"Okay, the contract is complete, so, are you ready to accept my test?" Gryffindor crossed his hands on his chest and asked with his head raised slightly.

"Of course, anytime." Connor replied, since it was just a test, Connor still had confidence in himself.Anyway, Connor had never seen a young wizard of the same age who was better than him. Excellent people never lacked self-confidence.

Then Connor took back the cube in the air and blacked out the live broadcast.

Connor still needs to make two-handed preparations. If he really fails the test, the twins will go to the office to find Dumbledore in half an hour at the latest. At that time, it will be up to the old headmaster to find someone. Won't beat Gryffindor... right...

It's one thing to be confident, but that doesn't stop Conor from doing more preparation.

Actually... Connor regretted it a little bit. Under normal circumstances, he would not accept this kind of thing impulsively. Connor suspected that the little mage of Gryffindor was not simply amplifying his emotions, but that he was too irrational just now.

"Very good." Gryffindor smiled evilly, took a few steps back, and then transformed back into a huge stone lion in front of Connor, and the blood plate opened and closed in front of Connor:
"Ready, Challenger?"

The breath blowing towards his face was a bit hot, and the stone lion in front of him seemed to have a real life. Is this the real Gryffindor?
Connor couldn't even tell if it was Transfiguration or not. It is theoretically impossible for Transfiguration to become so big...

Connor feels that what happened today is a bit out of common sense, but there is no way out now, so he should play his own character well and take a step at a time.

"Yes."

"Hahaha! Then welcome to my arena! In front of you is the legendary mage Godric Gryffindor! Young warrior, sign up!"

Flames ignited in the lion's eyes, and a body a hundred times larger than Connor pressed towards Connor with a heavy aura. Stimulated by this aura, Connor felt that he had become a real second.

"Yes! I, Connor Xu Devin Lake, a first-year Hogwarts student, challenge you!"

After saying this, Connor's face flushed, even his neck and ears were a little red, not because of excitement, but because of embarrassment, how embarrassing.

But Gryffindor didn't feel ashamed, instead he seemed excited: "Did the young eagle challenge the lion? Hahaha, very good, very good, I accept!"

The flames in the eyes of Gryffindor's transformed lion suddenly became hot, and Connor felt that the space became hot and bright, and this was not an illusion——

A large number of flames burned, one after another, lighting up the entire underground space. Only then did Connor finally see his surroundings clearly——

— This is a gladiatorial arena.

Clusters of torches were ignited in the intervals of the surrounding audience seats. After careful observation, Connor discovered that they were lion stone sculptures, their eyes were lit with bright red flames like Gryffindor, hundreds of them Stone-carved flames illuminate this subterranean arena.

In the arena, there was only Connor, and his opponent—the giant lion of a hundred feet, Gryffindor. This place was more like a colosseum than an arena.

"..." Connor swallowed hard, and weakly raised his left hand: "Principal Gryffindor, is it too late for me to quit now?"

My challenge is not meant to challenge you!I just made a slip of the tongue!Don't take it seriously, old man!You are such a big one, why don't I hit you with my head?
"Huh?!" The lion's eyes turned red, he lowered his head and glared at Connor fiercely, then seemed to understand something, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, your trial is certainly not to defeat me, after all, I am not a devil. I won't do anything, don't worry about it."

Connor breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to fight this big lion, he would run as far as he could, and he would be gone as soon as he pawed down.

"I'll pick an opponent for you, but before that..." Connor didn't know if it was an illusion, but Connor saw a... evil smile on the face of the lion...

"Don't you think our stage still lacks something..."

few?What's missing?Connor feels a little bad...like...something terrible is going to happen...

Suddenly, the lion raised its head and roared, as if chanting some spell that Connor couldn't understand. The ancient and mysterious syllables echoed underground, and as the sound fell, the surroundings began to vibrate.

From the slight shaking at the beginning, to the violent shaking, and then the entire Colosseum vibrated crazily. Later, Connor couldn't even stand still, and he could clearly feel that he was going up!

Connor raised his head and looked at the lion's head suspiciously. The lion also finished reciting the spell at this time, and he smiled maliciously at Connor:
"How can my Gryffindor test be carried out in obscurity in the dark underground space!? I'm not that gloomy old fellow of Salazar! And how can there be no spectators in the battle! Hahahaha!"

Gryffindor's laughter mixed into the rumbling earthquake, and the madness shocked Connor's sanity, the audience?Why an audience?What is an audience?Where do you find an audience? ?
Then, when everything returned to calm, Connor looked up and saw the half-moon hanging high in the night sky. After meeting the auditorium, he saw the dark castle, the spire of the Astronomy Tower, and the tower of Ravenclaw Gryffindor...

The entire "Colosseum" has risen to the side of Hogwarts Castle!
Connor cracked open, mouth wide open, shocking me.

?Ning is chaos and funny?Are you trying to mess with me?Are you going to have a concert? ?Want to find an audience and then blow up the entire Hogwarts grounds?
Is this the real Gryffindor?I'm stunned, no wonder Gryffindors are a bunch of idiots.

　I’ve taken the time to code these few days. I originally wanted to post it yesterday, but I always thought it was weird. I changed it when I had time to post it today (because the next exam is a week away). I’ll be free in about a month. , when the time comes, two more updates will be resumed.
