Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

One hour after the start of the Black Lake Championship.

All the contestants were swimming towards the mermaid tribe. Even if some warriors deviated from the route occasionally, they would quickly adjust back.

"Ms. Sophine of Beauxbatons has entered the outskirts of the mermaid tribe—

She will choose one of the two hostages in Beauxbatons and take him away from the bottom of the lake..."

Anriel walked on the mirror-smooth surface of the Black Lake as if taking a stroll, and spoke to the audience gathered by the lake.

“This design fully takes into account the psychological pressure of the contestants at the bottom of the lake, and can test their ability to respond to emergencies and their ability to judge the overall situation to a great extent.”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and opinions on this competition system were not unanimous.

But generally speaking, there are still more people who agree with it... because there are some guys who just want to watch the fun and make trouble.

Anriel didn't stop the audience from discussing, because the contestants couldn't hear it anyway...

Uh……

"Are you feeling better, Mr. Potter?"

Anriel turned back to Harry who had already stood up and asked in a concerned tone.

"Uh... no... no, I mean, can we still continue the game?"

He looked a little unconvinced, and also a little angry...

After all, regardless of the difference in strength, anyone who is knocked unconscious by a surprise attack and loses a large part of the initiative will not be in a good mood.

"Of course - you can always continue your game."

Anriel thought for a moment and added:

"You already knew the only two ways to exit this Triwizard Tournament in the last round."

Well... not only do people know this, but many people have also experienced it -

Loss of mobility or active application.

Other than that, you can continue to participate as long as the competition has not ended.

Anriel signaled Harry to adjust his condition and leave from a place a little closer to the mermaid tribe...

This is not favoritism.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other contestants were almost reaching the mermaid tribe. Even Carmen, who was the farthest away, had already swam more than half the distance.

At this time, let Harry meet these people faster...

How do you think these warriors, in their tired state, will deal with the youngest warrior in order to win a quick victory?

......

With a sound of "falling into water", Harry, who had just stuffed something into his mouth, dived into the water.

Anriel was slightly disappointed...

It seems that Crouch Jr. has not been able to come up with a better solution...

But that's right.

The underwater breathing potion takes time to brew, and Harry needs to learn advanced magic by himself.

Crouch Jr. didn't have enough time, secondly, Snape had strict protection, and thirdly... Harry himself was not up to the task and had no ability.

Anriel felt that Crouch Jr.'s life was not easy...

But no matter what, Harry, who has taken Gillyweed, theoretically has the capital to compete with others -

At least the Bubble Head Curse like that of Cedric and Sophenny has too low a tolerance rate compared to the Gillyweed.

After all, you can cast a Bubblehead spell underwater, but it will only stir up a bubble of water...

No, so how does this spell allow a bubble of non-compressed air to last for an hour???

The power of my thinking?

......

Anriel didn't want to delve into this issue. It was too profound and involved the nature of magic. It would take several years or even decades for him to study it when he was bored and wanted to die.

The more I study, the more I want to die...

"Very good. Now all our contestants have sunk into the lake... No, I mean into the water."

Anriel made a joke to ease the tense atmosphere.

"The warrior who has made the fastest progress so far is Miss Sophonie from Beauxbatons School.

But she only has a chance of getting ten points.

Mr. Carmen from Durmstrang School has already got five points in his hands... From this point of view, Durmstrang is ahead."

That's right, Sophanni has rescued a hostage.

Without even a moment's hesitation, she chose Furong's cute little sister over her boyfriend.

Gabrielle is so cute!

The rules of this competition are still not perfect. They do not take into account the closeness between the "hostages" and the warriors, nor do they take into account the relationship between a warrior's hostage and other warriors...

Mistakes, mistakes...but there won't be a next time anyway.

Anriel took a step forward, disappeared from the spot, and appeared right above the mermaid tribe.

"Okay... this game is about to enter the second stage..."

The audience was in bewilderment.

"Um... this game is called Battle Royale, right?"

The audience echoed.

"Have you seen the escape part yet?"

"Uh……"

The audience actually wanted to say yes, but if they thought about it carefully, even if they said "yes", would Anriel suspend his prepared behavior?

Obviously that is impossible.

Then let him be.

Seeing that there were no objections from the audience, Anriel nodded with satisfaction.

"So, let's welcome my...little pets?"

It's not the huge, ferocious beast that Hagrid raised, with more physical damage-inducing types.

Anriel stamped his foot, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

A large cloud of thick, inky black smoke spread out in the lake... Wait, the Black Lake itself is black, so the audience couldn’t actually see such a shocking scene.

The dead soul beasts released this time are different from the previous ones...

This time, the type is more inclined to the area fear aura effect. It will not attack actively, and it does not have a wisdom core, so its defense is naturally high...

It depends on whether Sophanni can discover this in time.

Anyway, Anriel felt that this young lady should not be able to stop and fight this thing to the death.

"and many more……"

Anriel raised his head and looked at the screen of the island in the middle of the lake in surprise.

"Where did this kid go?"

......

Anriel was really shocked.

Harry, this boy, always comes up with something new for him——

he looks like……

Swimming the other way around...

No, buddy?

I put you in the middle range so that you can run into others faster and even fight directly, right?

What's the matter with you going in reverse?

What's even more outrageous is that Harry not only drove in the wrong direction, he also "changed lanes".

How do you change lanes?

If we pull the Black Lake into a flat surface and ignore its depth...

The starting point for all warriors is the southwest side of the lake.

The mermaid tribe is at the bottom of the lake in the northernmost part.

Anriel's dead soul beast is placed on the southernmost side, and the best "viewing seat" on the big screen above the island in the middle of the lake, that is, the judges' seat is also here.

All obstacle races are held on the west side...

As for what's in the east...

You should be able to guess it, right?
