The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Stop!" Seeing the girl approaching him, Hugo immediately aimed his pistol and fired a shot in the direction she was moving, then warned, "Otherwise, the next shot will hit you."

"I don't have any malicious intent—" Looking at the pit created by the bullet on the ground, the Beauxbatons girl immediately slowed down, raising her hands to show she wasn't hostile.

"Alright, tell me what happened." Hugo steadily held his pistol, asking the girl opposite him, "I don't think a sixth-year elite student from Beauxbatons would be scared like this by a magical creature."

Hugo himself was one of the youngest participants in the entire competition, and after the previous two matches eliminated a few slightly younger apprentices, everyone on the field except him was a sixth-year student.

"A group of bugs that look like centipedes, spitting out large amounts of acid," the girl said quickly in French. "They are rushing towards here."

"Are you looking for me now hoping to use my strength to escape?" Hugo asked in French. "If so, what price are you willing to pay in exchange for my help?"

"No, that's not the case now." Hearing Hugo say this, the girl immediately showed an extremely nervous expression. "When I couldn't hold on just now, I tried to send an alarm as stipulated in advance, but I didn't wait for rescue."

"So, as a last resort, I could only draw my wand and try to break out of the siege of those monsters, and I happened to run into you."

"What did you say!" Hearing what the girl said, Hugo also showed a nervous expression.

Before the competition, the organizers specially gave each of them an alchemical item for help, saying that they could use this device to call for reinforcements when encountering unsolvable dangers.

After all, what everyone is doing now is just a competition, so it is a wise choice to give up the competition when encountering problems that cannot be solved.

But if these items fail, then the problem is serious. This means that someone doesn't want the competition to proceed smoothly, and even hopes to achieve certain goals through deaths and injuries in the competition.

"Then try using mine." As Hugo spoke, he pointed at the other person with one hand holding the gun, and with the other hand, he took off a brass disc that was previously hanging on his waist and threw it to the girl.

"No problem." Subconsciously glancing at the direction she had just fled from, the Beauxbatons girl activated the disc according to the method taught by the organizers before.

In theory, after correct operation, this disc should first emit a red light, and then emit a red spark from the red agate inlaid in the center of the disc.

But now, the disc only lit up, but did not emit sparks into the sky, but vibrated for a while before completely calming down.

"Let's leave here first." Because he had been strengthened by multiple avatars, Hugo heard a rustling sound getting closer and closer in the distance.

Thinking of what the girl had just said, he immediately realized that these sounds were likely the sound of those bugs catching up.

After continuing to run eastward for several hundred meters and shaking off the pursuers behind him, Hugo began to check the brass disc in his hand. With the unreserved remote support of Enterprise, Hugo quickly discovered the problem with the disc.

It turned out that in several key places inside the disc, the manufacturer replaced the original materials with a magical material with a relatively low magic load capacity.

This material is not much different from the genuine product in terms of appearance and daily magic flow, and can even cope with daily inspections, but when it is really activated, it will quickly fail and block the spread of magic.

However, because the appearance of the failure remains unchanged, unless a comprehensive inspection is carried out, it is impossible to find the problem here.

"Enterprise, how is the situation on your side now?" After discovering the problem with the thing in his hand, Hugo immediately contacted Enterprise.

"The situation here looks very normal now." Enterprise said while holding a wine glass, because it was lunchtime, a buffet was being held in the tent.

Whether it was the local Japanese wizards or those from Europe, they were all wearing formal dresses, walking elegantly among the long tables, and taking this opportunity to conduct some social and diplomatic activities.

"But this kind of normalcy is the biggest abnormality." Enterprise said while gently shaking the champagne glass in her hand, "The thing on you should be able to monitor your actions, but now, there is no message received here."

"Theoretically speaking, there should be a patrol team to check the participants. The problem you just encountered should have been reported here. So I will go to the organizer to ask about it later."

"Okay, if you find anything abnormal on your side, just notify me directly."

After ending the contact, Hugo began to walk towards the seaside with the French senior named Emma. Because the witch from Beauxbatons was really frightened by the previous attack, she chose to act with Hugo.

Unlike the Triwizard Tournament, the wizards participating in the Alchemy Competition are not necessarily good at this kind of competition related to wilderness survival and combat. This is why Emma is willing to sign a magic contract with Hugo to form an alliance in the competition.

Because although Hugo is very young, he is far superior to her in terms of combat level. At least in the battles encountered along the way, Emma felt that many enemies that she might need to spend a lot of effort to defeat were easily solved by Hugo.

Along the way, Enterprise contacted Hugo every once in a while. However, just like the worst situation everyone had expected before, the conclusion Enterprise got was always that everything was normal.

Because it is now in the competition, coupled with some other considerations. Therefore, after getting such an answer, Enterprise did not urge the competition organizers too much out of confidentiality considerations.

But this does not mean that she did nothing. Just half an hour after Hugo talked to him. The two outer ship girl formations simultaneously received orders and all entered the highest state of alert.

With the shrill alarm, the two ship girl formations completed their preparations in the first time, and prepared to launch attacks on all possible targets on the island and surrounding sea areas at any time.

When it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the two stopped advancing and began to look for a campsite. At first, everything went smoothly, but just as the sky darkened and Hugo and the others were preparing to eat lunch around the campfire, Enterprise suddenly issued an alarm.

"A part of the Japanese Ministry of Magic suddenly attacked us." Against the background of bursts of combat noise, Enterprise said to Hugo through the Admiral Network. "They put poison in the food and wine, and then attacked us."

"Are you okay now?" Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo asked nervously.

"Don't worry, this is just a small scene for me." Enterprise said while releasing magic towards her back. "Two guys who didn't have long eyes tried to stop me, and they have now been killed."

At this time, she had already ran to the edge of the camp area, and in front of her was a pool of green lake water.
