Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 167: Top Four Battle (Part )
Mike and the staff member walked one after the other in the long corridor. Since the overall design of the amphitheater was modeled after the ancient Roman Colosseum, the lighting in the corridor where Mike was now was not very good. It was completely dim, relying entirely on some scattered magic lamps along the way.

Surprisingly, this bespectacled staff member was a chatterbox. He kept telling Mike about the precautions in the game, such as both sides must salute each other before the game starts, they cannot continue chasing after the referee announces the result of the game, surrender is allowed, etc.

Mike, who was following behind him, turned a deaf ear to them. He listened to the chattering of the staff next to him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and the white teeth that were exposed flashed coldly under the white light of the magic lamp.

Just now in the lounge, Cedric comforted Mike not to be nervous, and everyone regarded Mike's subsequent answer as a child's bravado. After all, Mike was facing a wizard who was nearly 5 years older than him. At their age, age is almost equivalent to strength.

However, Mike really wasn't nervous at all.

To be honest, Mike really didn't take Carol seriously. In fact, after thinking about it last night, Mike was ready to conserve his strength today.

The only thing that Carol is better than Mike is her magic capacity. In other aspects, whether it is practical experience or spell control, she is completely crushed by Mike. In this case, it is almost impossible for Carol to win, unless Carol still has a trump card that she has not used.

But judging from the last match, Animagus transformation should have been Carol's trump card. When all the trump cards are used up, Mike is sure to win.

Just as he was thinking about it, a light gate emitting dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of Mike, and the cheers became closer and closer as the two moved forward.

Mike knew that this was the end of the road, and quickly restrained the smile on his face. Just kidding, Mike knew without thinking that the smile on his face must be very arrogant and evil. This kind of YY smile is fine if he shows it in private, but if it is seen in public, Mike's image will be completely ruined.

Mike walked out of the passage slowly and arrived at the competition venue. Then he realized how enthusiastic the cheers and applause were, because even the ground was vibrating slightly under the cheers of the audience.

Looking across, Carol had already arrived.

"Okay! Contestant Mike has finally arrived at the competition venue, so let's officially start the first game of the day!" Lockhart seemed to be infected by Dumbledore's straightforward personality, and he announced the start of the game directly.

The two people on the field slowly approached and bowed. When they got closer, Mike realized that Carol's face was pale and there were some tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. She was obviously extremely nervous.

Both parties were silent during the entire ceremony. Carol really didn't have the mood to say anything harsh, and Mike certainly wasn't that bored either.

After the ceremony, both sides quickly separated and returned to their respective competition positions waiting for Lockhart to announce the start.

Following Lockhart's order, the two men moved quickly.

Mike started running to the side of the court, whispering a spell, and his wand quickly drew mysterious symbols in the air. As the runes flashed in the air, Mike's speed suddenly increased a lot, and his figure gradually became illusory.

It was not until then that Carol's first spell was fired. It can be seen that the spell releasing speeds of Mike and Carol were not at the same level at all. Mike could cast two spells in the time it took Carol to cast one.

Facing the spell that Carol had predicted, Mike didn't even dodge and started brewing the next spell. Because his movement speed increased significantly after casting the wind speed spell, Carol's spell failed just by relying on the sudden increase in speed.

On the other side, Carol felt something was wrong when she found that her spell did not hit the invisible Mike. She shouted "Oh no" and jumped over.

Carol had already studied Mike when he and Cedric had their first duel, and she knew his fighting style like the back of her hand. Now that Mike had entered stealth mode, the next round of attack would definitely not be a fire spell that would expose his position, but would be...

With a "puff", a thin, blunt-headed spike shot out from where Carol was standing, passing by Carol who was lying on the ground. Looking at the spike that missed, Carol's face, which was stained with dust, showed a little joy.

"It's just as I expected." Carol thought to herself.

Mike, who was invisible, also noticed the change in Carol's expression and whispered, "Isn't it too early to be happy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another spike emerged from the ground. This time it was much thicker than the previous one, and the spike on the top was also deliberately removed by Mike. It can be said that this was a stone pillar.

Carol, immersed in joy, obviously did not expect that Mike would have a second round of attack. She was hit hard on the lower abdomen by the stone pillar. She screamed and flew out.

"Oh my god, this is a serious blow. Mike is too unkind to women."

"Come on, he has already shown mercy. Otherwise, it would have been better to just use those sharp spikes from before, one of which would have pierced his chest directly."

"Mike is awesome! I've been fed up with Carol for a long time!" (This is the inner voice of a Ravenclaw senior who has been oppressed by girls for a long time. Sorry, he didn't dare to yell it out loud.)
The audience on the stage exclaimed in surprise when they saw Carol being knocked out less than a minute into the match.

"Admit defeat."

Mike lifted the Disillusionment Spell at some point and appeared not far from Carol, whispering advice.

Carol fell to the ground, holding her stomach and rolling over, making a "divine seal" in her mouth while spitting out vomit. From the faintly visible blood in the vomit, it can be seen that Mike's attack just now still caused Carol to suffer serious internal injuries.

Hearing Mike's whisper, Carol stiffened and used her willpower to stretch her body that was almost bent into a crayfish shape. Her strong self-esteem would not allow her to do such a shameful thing in front of her opponent.

"I've already let it go, you know. So... admit defeat."

As if stimulated by these words, Carol struggled to raise her head. Looking at Mike's expressionless face, Carol felt a force surging from her body.

"what!"

Following the roar, Carol slowly stood up. Although her body was still twitching slightly unconsciously, she still stood up and pointed the wand at Mike again.

Seeing this, the expression on Mike's face finally changed. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and after saying a few words, he activated the Disillusionment Spell again.

"Why are you doing this?"

I am such a big idiot. I frantically updated the chapters in the free public chapters in the past two days. Now, my full attendance is gone. I feel like I have lost out!
