The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 402: The Winner's Calmness and Grace
The purpose of starting with "Mist and Clouds" is to block the view, so that when the audience sees the fire dragon being subdued, they will feel more shocked and feel awe-inspiring.

Another thing is that Ada also wanted to hide her skills and didn't want her entire spellcasting process to be exposed to everyone.

But it was indeed a bit dangerous just now. As soon as the clouds and mist rose, the fireball dragon flapped its wings and wanted to attack Ada from above. Fortunately, Ada's hand speed was fast enough, and a large number of plant vines were born, which quickly pulled the fireball dragon down from mid-air.

Seeing that its feet were entangled, the fire dragon immediately began to struggle, turning back to bite the vines, or burning the vines with scorching flames. This is why the audience can still see the fire when the view is blocked by clouds.

Aida naturally took advantage of the opportunity of the fire dragon's attack and fused and deformed the huge rocks arranged in the enclosure to form one giant lock after another.

Giant stone locks flew up one after another and smashed into the fireball dragon. The huge body of the fire dragon became a living target at this moment. The vines that were not completely burned were also restraining the fire dragon, preventing it from dodging the attack of the huge rocks.

With the help of vines and boulders, the fire dragon was gradually pinned to the ground. The vines took the opportunity to wrap around the fire dragon's body and bind it.

The boulders no longer bombarded the fire dragon at random, but fell on the fire dragon's neck, limb joints, tail and wings. By controlling the joints, the fire dragon was unable to struggle.

Although Ada was a weakling in her previous life, she was a sports enthusiast. She not only loved watching ice hockey, but also boxing, MMA, and even WWE.

In fighting competitions, KO is certainly refreshing and exciting, but when it is impossible to KO the opponent directly, TKO is also a good choice.

So when Dumbledore did not allow Ada to seriously injure or kill the dragon, Ada had to choose technical knockout and subdue the dragon with stone locks and vines.

Otherwise, the fire dragon's head would have been smashed by the boulder by now.

Fire dragons have high resistance to both attacks and magic, and are not afraid of swords and axes, just like they are wearing good armor. But fire dragons are still made of flesh, just surrounded by a hard shell.

In the era of cold weapons, facing the iron cans of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, blunt instruments and heavy weapons became the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and the huge impact force was enough to cause serious internal injuries.

A hundred boulders smashed heavily on the dragon's head. Ida didn't believe that the dragon's hard skull couldn't be smashed. Even if it didn't break, it would cause a serious concussion. If it still didn't work, and there wasn't even a concussion, then another hundred boulders would be thrown at it!

Besides, if the fire dragon really cannot be killed by wizards, where do the dragon's nerves, blood, skin, liver, and horns come from? You can't just wait for the fire dragon to die of old age!
Only a few people on the sidelines saw everything that happened on the field, such as Dumbledore and Moody with his magic eye. Most people were confused, they only knew that the dragon was really subdued by Ada, and it looked very easy.

Ada raised her magic wand again and pointed it toward the sky. A huge stone slowly formed in the air. The stone floated higher and higher, and the people in the audience could only raise their heads and stretch their necks to watch.

Suddenly, Ada's right hand holding the magic wand chopped down quickly, like swinging a giant axe, and the huge rock in the sky suddenly fell down and hit the fire dragon's head at high speed.

It turns out that she is not just talking, it turns out that she is not young and ignorant, not arrogant, she really has the ability to kill the fire dragon! Now, is she really going to kill the fireball dragon?
This question arose in the minds of all the audience.

As the boulder flew, the fire dragon roared unwillingly and spurted out a ball of flame from its mouth. However, the fire dragon's struggle was in vain. The ball of flame was defeated by Ada's wave of the magic wand. The vines and the stone locks on the ground still bound the fire dragon tightly.

The falling boulder was getting closer and closer to the dragon's head. Everyone in the audience gasped and covered their mouths with their hands. They seemed to see the dragon's head being smashed into a bloody mess. The wizards at the edge of the enclosure were also stunned. They forgot to stop Ada and forgot to protect the dragon. They let the boulder fall rapidly from the sky.

There was a loud bang and dust flew up!

When the smoke slowly dissipated, some brave people opened their eyes and looked at the fire dragon in the enclosure. The expected blood and flesh did not splatter, and the boulder fell beside the fireball dragon and did not hit it directly.

No one would think that Ada missed the target. How could she miss such a big target? She did it on purpose, deliberately sending a huge rock flying towards the dragon, deliberately missing the target to scare everyone!

Drizzt has a very bad heart!

The wizards at the edge of the field finally reacted, and they quickly ran to the field to stop Ada. But they only saw Ada's back, and saw her slowly walking out of the competition field holding the golden egg.

Silence, no applause, no discussion, Ludo Bagman also forgot his duties, the world seemed to have been muted. Everyone on the sidelines stared at the small figure, the long golden hair looked particularly dazzling in this afternoon.

Karkaroff rubbed his eyes and cursed a bunch of obscenities in his mind, all of which had to be muted and all beeped.

Karkaroff didn't understand, what the hell is this? Why don't you be the headmaster of Durmstrang! Drug test, must be drug test! You told me this is a 17-year-old witch, burning newspapers at the grave, you are fooling the devil!

Ms. Maxime couldn't believe it either. She also felt that this was not the strength a seventeen-year-old witch should have.

Madam Maxime was even more jealous than Karkaroff. This girl could be a student of Beauxbatons. She could be her own student! Are all the Rosier family members stupid?
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Dumbledore stood up and led the applause. The stunned crowd finally came to their senses and started to applaud. The world had sound again.

Excitement, shock, disbelief, all kinds of emotions were expressed in the audience. The Slytherin students were even more grateful that they didn't besiege Ada in the common room at the beginning of the semester. It was a blessing!

In the Gryffindor crowd, Fred and George hugged each other tightly, and the two brothers were thinking the same thing in their hearts: Brothers, now we are going to be rich!

It was only a few steps from the paddock to the exit where the warriors left, but Ada walked these few steps slowly with the momentum of "I'm the best in the world".

It wasn't that Ada was deliberately showing off, but she was adjusting her own state. The torrential rain of attacks did shock everyone present, but this short-term, high-frequency output still made Ada's heart beat faster.

In fact, Ada could have chosen not to do this, and could have slowed down the pace of attack and completed the current arrangement bit by bit. But in order to pursue perfection and shock everyone, Ada naturally accelerated the process again and again.

Although Ada completed the task very well and almost perfectly, she still needed to calm down and adjust. So Ada chose to go on slowly. After winning, it was also necessary to maintain the elegance of a winner.

Today is just the beginning, the beginning of making the entire European magical world remember the name Esmeralda Drizzt.
