Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 339 The Birth of a Dust Storm

After two rounds of elimination.

There are 10 players left in the competition.

However, not everyone looked at the boulder with the same relaxed expression as Moon.

Especially Furong, who came from France, looked very unnatural.

"Did the organizers increase the difficulty of the competition?"

Fleur muttered something to herself, and Percy, standing behind her, nodded solemnly.

"That must be it. I've never heard of using boulders as props in the third event before."

"That's right, and you can only use [Thunder Explosion], which increases the difficulty by more than double."

Several Hogwarts students also looked very grim.

They had not received any prior training.

I don't know if my spell can break through such a hard stone.

Actually, if all that's needed is to destroy the boulder...

Hogwarts students have many methods.

For example, you can first use the [Softening Spell] to completely soften the texture of the boulder.

Then, by using other powerful [Thunder Explosion] and [Splitter] attacks, the boulder can be easily broken apart.

Alternatively, you can use the Levitation Spell.

Allowing the boulder to free-fall from the air can also increase the success rate.

You can also use the [Freeze Spell] or [Fire Spell] to treat the boulder in advance, which can easily meet the requirements of the competition.

In a short period of time, several Hogwarts students came up with several methods.

Moon listened from the side, nodding frequently.

It must be said that Hogwarts students do have a real advantage when it comes to using their brains.

However, the organizers stipulated that only the "Thunder Explosion" could be used.

While this deviated from their expectations, it did indeed align with the purpose of the event.

That means only considering the power of the wizard's spells.

The two students from Durmstrang, on the other hand, looked quite relaxed.

"A magic spell shatters a boulder? So violent! I love it."

"That's right, the first two levels are not interesting at all; they're only for weak players."

Although neither of these two contestants achieved very good results in the first two rounds.

But when they saw the third challenge, they were still very confident.

The other contestants also knew that Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was very good at teaching dark magic.

This kind of violent competition perfectly targets their strengths.

Game start.

The first Hogwarts student to take the stage.

After making thorough preparations, he unleashed the [Thunder Explosion] with all his might.

Although the curse made quite a commotion, it only left a white shadow on the boulder.

Then two more shots were fired in succession, leaving only two white marks on the boulder.

After the second wizard took the stage, he summarized the pattern of the first wizard.

While maintaining its power, it improved the accuracy of the spell.

Three [Thunderbolt Explosions] struck the same spot.

Then a pit the size of a thumb appeared on the boulder.

Percy also simply left a deep hole in the boulder.

After taking the stage, Fu Rong still used the special spellcasting technique from the previous match.

After casting three consecutive spells, the boulder was pierced straight through.

She also received only a few scattered applause from the audience.

Durmstrang's students are indeed very talented in offensive spells.

After the three [Thunder Explosions] struck the rock, they split the boulder in two.

The most powerful curse belonged to the student named Fergus Krum.

The magic spell was used to split the boulder into seven or eight pieces.

"It must be said that Durmstrang's teaching methods are quite distinctive."

The referees sitting nearby discussed in hushed tones.

"Indeed, the power of this spell alone is greater than that of many adult wizards."

While the referees were whispering among themselves, Moon walked to the center of the field.

Several judges also noticed the youngest contestant and shook their heads.

"It's a pity, this player should have had the shortest recovery time."

"Yes, and he didn't hold back at all in the last game, so it's already quite good that he managed to get a white mark this time."

Moon's outstanding performance in the first two matches attracted the attention of many wizards.

Similarly, most people do not believe that Moon will achieve good results in this match.

Moon looked at the solid boulder not far away and shook his head.

"This material is not even as good as the one I use to repair the school."

After making a helpless complaint, Moon adjusted his mindset.

The wand was raised, and the spell shot out instantly!
"Thunderbolt explosion!"

boom!
As the words fell.

A loud bang echoed across the field.

Immediately afterwards, the area around the boulder was enveloped in fine smoke.

"Wasn't it a thunderous explosion? Where did the smoke come from?"

The spectators in the stands had no idea what was happening.

Everyone stared curiously at the situation on the field.

"Are you stupid? This isn't smoke, it's dust from a boulder explosion."

"You're the idiot! This isn't a Shattering Curse, how could it be?"

The wizard, who had initially intended to argue, fell silent.

Because at this moment, the dust that was originally surrounding the boulder had fallen to the ground due to gravity.

The situation on the field was also clearly visible.

"It really exploded!"

"This isn't broken up, it's been fried into powder!"

The referee on the field hadn't yet come to his senses.

Anos Finkley, who was sitting on the referee's bench, slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Did he cheat? The rules of the competition prohibit the use of spells other than Thunder Explosion."

The referee sitting nearby was startled by Anos Finkley's actions. "Mr. Finkley, we all saw it clearly. If Mr. Scarlett had indeed used other spells, we would have given him a warning beforehand."

"That's right, and this player still has two chances left, right? Let him try again and we'll see."

Professor Flitwick seemed to have known the outcome all along.

He sat comfortably in the chair, showing no signs of nervousness whatsoever.

Standing not far away, Moon naturally heard the conversation on the referee's bench.

After seeing the look Professor Flitwick gave me.

Moon didn't waste any more words.

He raised his wand and aimed it at the two boulders next to Percy and Fleur.

boom!
boom!
The two explosions almost overlapped.

The entire playing field experienced a slight tremor.

What followed was a dust storm caused by the explosion.

"Ahem~ Ahem~, didn't your event organizers make any contingency plans?"

"Let us breathe this dust here!"

"Yes, and all my food has been contaminated!"

Many spectators protested from the stands.

The five security personnel surrounding the arena immediately took out their magic wands.

After unleashing several [Whirlwind Sweep] attacks, the dust that had been spreading everywhere finally quieted down.

"Professor, did you do this on purpose...cough cough cough~?"

Anos Finkley took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

"Did you deliberately send this little monster to cause trouble?"

That's right, right after the boulder exploded.

Anos Finkley had already recognized Moon as a unique little monster.

Because he knew that no other wizard at that age could achieve such success in spells.

Even if it were him personally taking the stage now.

It would be impossible to achieve such results.

“How can this be considered disruptive? Mr. Finkley, Moon has strictly adhered to the rules of the game throughout the entire event.”

Looking at the effect in the arena, Professor Flitwick leaned back in his chair with satisfaction and nodded.

“Professor, don’t forget that the Finkley family can provide Hogwarts with a lot of jobs. What you’re doing is completely undermining our cooperation.”

"How can this be considered undermining cooperation?"

Upon hearing Anos Finkley's words, Professor Flitwick finally sat up straight.

"Besides, Mr. Finkley, according to the rules of the competition, the last event is the key to victory or defeat, and everything is still uncertain."

Hearing the tone of Flitwick's voice.

Anos Finkley has developed immunity.

He was now vaguely certain that the professor in front of him was just using this opportunity to cause trouble.

But now, with everyone watching, he has no way to stop it.

However, Flitwick's words reminded him.

According to the rules of the spellcasting competition.

The first three events were all tested indoors, and the scores only accounted for half of the total score.

The last item requires going to the field.

The complex environment puts the contestants to the ultimate test of their comprehensive abilities, which is why it accounts for the remaining 50 points.

Realizing this was the only place he could exploit, Anos Fincliffe gave Moon a cold look in the arena.

He now feels that this little lion is very dangerous.

He had to find a way to defeat this little wizard.

Otherwise, the family's reputation might be ruined.

Moon's score was quickly tallied.

Although Anos Finkley deliberately gave it a low score.

But that still couldn't stop Moon from becoming number one in the top three categories.

"How could this referee do this! This is clearly a rigged match."

The audience members were all criticizing it.

Even many wizards booed wildly.

"It's okay. At least Moon has a total score of 45 points. As long as he performs well in the last event, he will definitely have a chance to win the championship."

Hermione had already taken out some paper from her bag and started calculating.

According to the tournament points system...

Moon is in first place with 45 points.

Second place went to Fergus Krum from Durmstrang, with 25 points.

The third place went to Furong, with 23 points.

4th place, 22 points.

"The last game must be very difficult."

Ron looked at Moon with concern.

He no longer cares about Percy's specific ranking.

"That's right, the last event is a battle in the wild, and the organizers will set up various obstacles in advance, making it the most dangerous event."

Hermione understood the danger as merely an obstacle within the project itself.

Besides these difficulties, Moon also has to face his fellow competitors.

After Moon completely dominated the three giants on the field.

Every contestant looked at him with a completely different gaze.

The initial scrutiny has now given way to a sense of solemnity and fear.

Some contestants have even started to secretly team up behind the scenes.

They plan to team up and eliminate Moon before the next match begins.

"I never expected that such a small competition could be so interesting."

When the boulder exploded.

Lucius, standing in the VIP viewing area, was speechless with astonishment.

Meanwhile, Bokin Burke, who was standing next to Moon, kept his eyes fixed on him and let out a heartfelt exclamation of admiration.

Previously, he had simply followed Voldemort's instructions in his letter to keep an eye on Moon.
