Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 167 Vulnerability
"Yunkai, what kind of book is this?"

"Oh, a book that records all kinds of deceitful magic."

Lu Yunkai answered casually.

Daphne, who was sitting beside him, nodded with a vague understanding.

It's already afternoon.

Lu Yunkai couldn't figure it out either. After such a long time, there were only two people standing in to sign up. What is it that keeps this group of people watching the fun here...

Well, maybe it's just waiting for the two pre-selected contestants.

Krum and Cedric.

And at last, Cedric Diggory came.

His appearance aroused huge applause from around.As the most anticipated player in the host country, this kind of treatment is naturally justified.

However, Cedric didn't have much communication with the audience around him. He just laughed and laughed with the two friends around him, while being pushed to the Goblet of Fire.

Then a note is thrown in.

disappear.

Registration ends.

Just leave.

It doesn't feel like a main character at all.

Lu Yunkai watched and complained silently in his heart.

Had this Cedric made a mistake?This Triwizard Tournament is a scoring game. Do you know what is the most important thing in this kind of game?

Audience! !

The audience will help you put pressure on the referee!At that time, even if your actual performance is so poor, as long as you can get applause and cheers from the audience during the game, how dare the referee give you a low score? ?
How can you not take the audience seriously!
Just this is the top ten of NEWTS?It really looks like Eileen...

Lu Yunkai complained about that poor witch in his heart again.

"Yunkai, do you still want to try?"

Just when Lu Yun was complaining to Cedric happily, someone patted him on the shoulder suddenly.

Lu Yunkai turned his head and saw Parvati sitting behind him.

"what happened?"

"If you don't plan to try it, I'll go back to rest and wait for the night." Parvati glanced at Daphne who was beside Lu Yunkai with a strange expression, but continued: "If you want to try it, I'll wait a little longer .”

"... I do have the idea of ​​trying, but there is no specific plan yet. You... are you waiting for me here?" Lu Yunkai suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a bit.

He secretly glanced at Daphne out of the corner of his eye.

Daphne laughed hard.

"Well, I'm curious what you'll do. Then I'll wait a little longer!" Parvati smiled and nodded as if she didn't realize Daphne's weirdness.

"……Oh."

Lu Yunkai turned his head and read a book.

"Then I'll go back to the dormitory first." Daphne said suddenly.

"...What are you doing?" Lu Yunkai quickly turned his head and glanced at Daphne.

"There's nothing to see. What, who are you waiting for? Krum?"

Daphne narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Yunkai.

The meaning is actually quite obvious: you are not allowed to stay here any longer.

"I always want to try it! Such a fun thing..." Lu Yunkai muttered, "Forget it, then I'll try it now, if it doesn't work, let's go back to the dormitory together!"

"Why go back to the dormitory together!!" Daphne blushed.

Then she realized that she was the only one who was wrong...

cough cough.

Lu Yunkai really didn't.

He simply stood up and bought a bottle of powerful confusion potion from the system. Then, he pulled Daphne around the benches and came to the center of the venue.

"What are you doing?" Daphne was a little bit shy and a little bit excited after being noticed by the people around who started to get lively again.

"Here is this bottle of potion for you." Lu Yunkai took out another bottle of potion and stuffed it into Daphne's hand, "After I come out of the circle in a while, pour it down immediately. Otherwise, God knows what I will do."

"……dangerous?"

"Not really, but I might make a fool of myself." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "You don't want to see me make a fool of myself, do you?"

"Oh." Daphne took the potion in a daze, but nodded firmly.

"...Don't hold it so tightly, be careful not to break it." Lu Yun smiled and patted Daphne's face, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

After speaking, he took out the parchment from the space bag, tore off a small piece, and wrote a line on it.

then.

"Clean up!"

"Waterproof and moisture-proof!"

"Quick appearance!"

"Fade without a trace!"

……

Facing the parchment, the magic wand in Lu Yunkai's hand fired magic spells one after another as if he didn't need money (indeed he didn't need money).

He used almost all the spells he knew, except the one that would destroy the parchment.

In the end, the poor piece of parchment was like a small piece of broken stone, and there was no way to see that Lu Yunkai had written his name on it.

And this action of his earned the curiosity of almost everyone around him.

There are many people laughing.

Is this kid crazy?
"Well, it should be almost there." Lu Yunkai looked at the parchment that was no longer parchment, took it back in his hand with satisfaction, and then pulled Daphne by the side several times to stop him, but after all, Daphne, who did not speak, came to the age on the edge of the circle.

Open the potion in your hand and pour it down.

Strange things happened.

It seemed that Lu Yunkai's eyes suddenly became empty, and then his appearance seemed to start to change.

For a moment...why do you look so much like Dumbledore?
Just when the audience stopped laughing because Lu Yunkai drank the potion, and then began to be amazed at his changes, Lu Yun started.

He stepped into the age circle, and then threw the piece of paper in his hand into the Goblet of Fire.

The piece of paper, which was more like a stone, popped, burned, and disappeared.

Quiet.

Didn't launch like its twin brother.

But in the age group, Lu Yunkai stood blankly for ten seconds, then with a bang, he fell backwards and fell to the ground.

"Yunkai!! Are you okay??" Daphne, who was stunned watching Lu Yunkai's movements, came back to her senses, squatted beside him, helped him up, poured the medicine in her hand into Lu Yunkai's mouth.

Soon.

"Huh... Did the name strip fly out?"

Lu Yunkai spoke again.

With a smile on his face.

"...No." Daphne's face was full of worry, "What happened to you just now?"

"Oh, I just lied to the age circle and the Goblet of Fire...Of course, I also lied to myself." Lu Yun explained with a smile, "If the name strip doesn't fly out, then it's a success?"

"...Mmm." Daphne reached out to help Lu Yunkai stand up.

"No need! It's not that empty!" Lu Yun smiled and stood up on his own support, and patted the dirt behind him.

at this time.

There was a thunderstorm of applause and cheers all around.

"Ah!" Daphne came back to her senses.

Just now she was only worried about Lu Yunkai, and she forgot about it!
"Thank you everyone!" Lu Yun smiled and said to the standing and applauding audience, "Although I am unlikely to be selected, if the Goblet of Fire is blind..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the broken wooden cup.

"... I hope everyone will support me more! My name is Lu Yunkai, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts Slytherin House!"

"Lu Yunkai! Lu Yunkai! Lu Yunkai!!"

The group of Slytherin students who were familiar with Lu Yunkai in the crowd started to call out his name one by one.

"Okay! Have you gotten enough of the limelight? Let's go!" Daphne said to Lu Yunkai angrily with a blushing face.

She is really not used to this kind of scene surrounded by people.

"Oh! Then I'm leaving! Thank you everyone!" Lu Yunkai smiled and put his arms around Daphne's shoulders, and ran away from the hall.

Only the applause and whistles behind him remained.

……

"Yunkai! Can you sell me two bottles of the potion you drank?"

"...Draco, it's really not that I don't sell you, I'm afraid that I will sell you, and your father will come back to settle accounts with me."

"how come!!"

"You are different from me! If you sign up, you may be selected by the Goblet of Fire..."

"Then I'm going to sign up!"

"But you forgot that the Triwizard Tournament was suspended because of the many deaths! Your life may not be in danger, but what if you are injured?" Lu Yun said seriously, "For the Malfoy family, no matter how many A three-strong cup is nothing more than that, but your parents will never allow you to be injured. It will be a ghost if he doesn't trouble me by then!"

"……Fine."

Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Malfoy sighed and left.

Lu Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're getting better at flattering." Daphne beside her, whose red face still hasn't faded, teased Lu Yun.

The scene where she was returned to the lounge with her arms around her shoulders by Lu Yunkai just now had an impact on her, but it was not at all less than that group of people clapping their hands and whistling wildly there.

"What are you flattering? This is coaxing a child!" Lu Yun gave Daphne a blank look, "I bet all my wealth is that this loophole was left by Dumbledore. There are only a few dozen Hogwarts who are eligible to sign up, Dumbledore Lido only needs to set the possible applicants, there is no need to set any age group. He does this magic, and he does not send people to watch, it is special. I guess in his opinion, breaking through this age group is regarded as One of the conditions for being entitled to participate in this competition! If Draco buys medicine directly from me, believe it or not, before he can throw his name slip into the Goblet of Fire, Filch rushes out of nowhere dragged away?"

"I don't believe it." Daphne argued with Lu Yun instinctively, "Why don't you give me a bottle and I'll sign up for a try too?"

"Don't make trouble!! This competition may really be dangerous..."

"They won't choose me!" Daphne gave Lu Yun a blank look, "The Goblet of Fire is not stupid. It's not you, an idiot."

"What's wrong with me? I'm stupid! I beat Dumbledore for the second time..."

"If you don't earn money, do you think you're stupid?" Daphne interrupted Lu Yunkai's self-praise, "Even if Draco can sign up, the Goblet of Fire will choose him? Do you really think that the Goblet of Fire chooses people based on their surnames? And even if Being stopped by Filch, how can he ask you to refund the money you paid for the medicine? You are not stupid, who is stupid!"

"It's true if you say that." Lu Yunkai rubbed his chin, "But how much do you think I should sell him for these two bottles of medicine? He can't come up with much cash..."

"Do you still have medicine?"

"There is but there is..."

"Give it to me, don't worry about it! I'll sell it for you!"

"...You? Forget it! You know how to bargain better than me!"

"That depends on whom! I'm not going to sell to Draco, I'm going to sell to...Pancy." Daphne suddenly smirked.

"...I leave it to you. Remember, when you drink the potion, you must say it silently in your heart. I am really not Dumbledore."

Lu Yunkai simply took out two bottles of medicine from the system.

****
"Lu Yunkai just signed up successfully, do you know?"

"What he drank should be a powerful confusion potion, convincing himself and the age group that he is you, and then successfully threw his name into the Goblet of Fire. As for how he deceived the Goblet of Fire, I don't know much Don't worry, I didn't give him the powerful confounding potion."

"Of course! A person who can concoct the Skyfire potion and the powerful anti-curse potion should be able to use the powerful confusion potion. But there is one thing you said wrong. He didn't cheat the Goblet of Fire because it was unnecessary. After all, the Goblet of Fire It is a magical item that has been passed down for so long, and it is impossible for me to modify its origin... He must have thought of a way to modify the Goblet of Fire itself, so he made a corresponding countermeasure. Of course, it is a bit redundant."

"...Your Excellency, I don't think this is something that can be said with a smile."

Snape's face darkened.

Dumbledore, who was sitting opposite him, had a playful smile on his face.

"Severus, you really have a good student. Tom is not even as thoughtful as he is at his age! I suddenly began to think that maybe the Ministry of Magic's one-size-fits-all approach to 17 years old might not really be a reasonable one." suggestion."

"...you wish to elect him as Hogwarts representative?"

"It's not my choice, it's the Goblet of Fire. Just like the Sorting Hat has the right to send students to any college it wants, this is something I can't interfere with. So I think the Ministry of Magic probably shouldn't interfere either." Dumbledore shook Shaking his head, "Although Cedric is really a very, very good kid..."

"Digory is the best of all the students at Hogwarts right now."

"But in your eyes, it is definitely not as good as Lu Yunkai, right?" Dumbledore still smiled, "I just want to remind you that if he is really selected to participate in the competition, you should do him a favor. I always feel that This year's game is kind of weird."

"...You don't need to tell me, I understand." Snape nodded expressionlessly.

Just then, there was a knock on the principal's office door.

"Minister Bagman should be here. I think he might want me to explain the registration." Dumbledore had a smile on his face.

"Then please explain to him slowly." Snape nodded and left the room.
