Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#339 - Chapter 339 Triwizard Tournament

The little wizards all turned their gazes towards the entrance of the Great Hall, even the professors were no exception.

Standing at the entrance of the hall was a wizard wearing a dark black cloak, leaning on a long cane. Seeing everyone looking at him, he directly took off his hood, revealing a head of gray-white hair and a face full of scars.

Hiss—

The little wizards all gasped, becoming tense.

What kind of face was that!

Not only was it covered in scars, but his mouth was also crooked, and a piece of his nose was missing. Of course, the most frightening thing was his eyes.

One eye was intact, revealing a sharp gaze, while the other eye was a magical eye that kept spinning.

That round, slightly blue, fake eye kept turning, able to see in any direction, even the back of his head.

The little wizards shrank their necks, some even lowered their bodies slightly, afraid of being stared at by that magical eye.

Their frightened and disgusted gazes were very obvious, but Moody, leaning on his cane, didn't care at all. He brazenly scanned the entire hall with his magical eye, then limped towards the professors' table.

Watching Moody's approaching figure, Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Interesting!

The school's alarm didn't go off.

Then Moody's identity is very interesting.

Sebastian remembered very clearly that when the vacation had just started, Dumbledore had taken advantage of the opportunity to send Moody the teaching syllabus and personally processed the teacher's certificate for him.

With the existence of the magic contract, in theory, if Barty Crouch Jr. replaced Moody, then he should have triggered the alarm when he entered the school.

Could it be that Voldemort saw some clues from the teacher's certificate, and then personally took action to help Barty Crouch Jr. shield Hogwarts' magic contract?

After all, although the strength of this kind of magic contract is not bad, it is completely incomparable to magic contracts of the level of the Fidelius Charm and the Unbreakable Vow.

Although Voldemort's strength is not there, he still has the vision, and he now has two subordinates who can do it for him.

Facing the strongest dark wizard of the time, Sebastian couldn't guarantee that the other party would not be able to crack this magic contract.

In addition to this, there is also the possibility that this Moody is real, and Voldemort did not let Barty Crouch Jr. pretend to be Moody, but adopted other methods.

In short, Moody's identity is suspicious and needs to be further identified in the future.

Under the gaze of everyone, Moody shook hands with Dumbledore, who stood up, and then sat down in the empty seat at the professors' table, eating the food specially reserved for him.

Even so, his fake eye was still turning around non-stop, looking at everything around him.

Dumbledore seemed to be used to Moody's neurotic appearance. He faced everyone and enthusiastically introduced that this was this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—Alastor Moody.

Scattered applause rang out from the audience, appearing lonely in the silent hall. Obviously, everyone was stunned by Moody's appearance and behavior.

Only for a moment, the little wizards began to whisper to each other.

"So he is Mad-Eye Moody!" Ron said with a shocked expression, lowering his voice, "It's my first time seeing him in person, he is indeed a bit unusual."

Mad-Eye?

Harry and Hermione quickly looked at Ron: "Who is he?"

"Moody is a legendary Auror from the Ministry of Magic," Ron's voice was full of awe, "He has been fighting with dark wizards all his life, and the scars on his body and face were left behind when fighting with dark wizards."

"During the last wizarding war, he was always active on the battlefield, fighting with the Death Eaters."

"He is the sharpest knife in the Ministry of Magic. It is said that he filled half of Azkaban."

"Of course, after this summer vacation, his record has been surpassed by Professor Swann. You all know about the current Azkaban."

Legendary Auror!

Always fighting against Death Eaters.

Listening to Ron's evaluation, Harry turned his head to look at Moody, and immediately felt that the other party's actions were much more pleasing to the eye.

This is a respectable warrior, and the other party's actions can be accepted no matter how strange they are.

Sebastian cleared his throat with a smile, attracting the students' attention.

"As I just said, in the coming year, our Hogwarts will host a very exciting event—the Triwizard Tournament!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly boiled over, with waves of sound seeming to lift the ceiling of the hall.

"Professor Swann, you're not kidding us, are you!"

"This competition hasn't been held for centuries!"

"Who can explain to me what the Triwizard Tournament is?"

Sebastian raised his hands and pressed down, and after the students calmed down, he continued.

"Given that some students are not clear about the Triwizard Tournament, I will explain it briefly here."

"This competition was jointly created by Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang magic schools more than seven hundred years ago, with the aim of enhancing friendship and exchange between the major magic schools."

"It is held every five years, with the three schools taking turns to host it. However, later, due to the excessive number of deaths, the most dangerous time even professors and referees were seriously injured, and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."

The little wizards didn't care about the dangers that happened hundreds of years ago, they just wanted the professor to talk about some details of this competition.

"Of course," Sebastian said with a smile, "This time it can't be called the Triwizard Tournament, but the Five-Wizard Tournament."

"Ilvermorny in the United States and Uagadou in Africa will also join this grand competition."

"We will select champions before Halloween. At that time, the champions from the five schools will compete on the same stage to win glory for their schools."

"In addition, the final winner will also receive a prize of one thousand galleons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall boiled again, with the little wizards' eyes shining, extremely excited.

Everyone wants to be the champion who wins glory for the school, and then gain both fame and fortune.

"After discussion between the Ministry of Magic and the various schools," Sebastian's voice made the little wizards quiet down again, "For safety reasons, only students who are seventeen years old or older can sign up to participate."

"Unfair!"

"We also want to participate in the selection, we can't be restricted by age."

The students became agitated, and this selection method obviously buried the possibility of many people participating.

They protested loudly, trying to bargain with the school.

"But!"

Sebastian's voice drowned out all the noise, he smiled and scanned all the little wizards, and said words that made them smile.

"After my professor's reasonable argument, all the schools have agreed to take strength as the new selection criterion."

"Students whose magic level reaches the first stage of an adult wizard can sign up to participate. At that time, a fair judge will select the best among you."

First stage of an adult wizard!

Hearing this, the students who had already met the standard smiled, and the twins even started flattering Sebastian.

This condition can be said to be much looser. You must know that after the past two years of practice in the dueling hall, the magic power of many fifth-grade students has reached the level of the first stage of an adult wizard.

Even some outstanding fourth-graders have reached this requirement.

Moreover, everyone is convinced by using strength as the judging standard.

Of course, there are also crying existences among the students, they are still a little short of reaching this selection standard.

Ron looked sad: "I'm still a little short of reaching the fifth stage of a wizard apprentice, and I'm still far from the standard."

Before Harry and Hermione could comfort Ron, they heard Sebastian say.

"Let me tell you quietly, the theme of this Five-Wizard Tournament is [Unity], so each school will have more than one contestant, and everyone's chances of becoming a champion are much higher."

"There are still two months before the selection of champions."

"So, students who want to give it a try, work hard during this time!"
