My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 491, Section 488: The First Project

Now that the scepter was right there, Lynn immediately created a server and established a connection with the scepter. After bringing Hermione in, he recruited a few more people from the student council to help out. Once he confirmed that the server could handle more than 10 people, Lynn stopped the experiment.

The problem does indeed lie with the [Scepter]. As long as the [Scepter] is added to a server, it can add an unlimited number of people without any limit on the number of users. This would allow the creation of a truly meaningful magical forum.

After confirming the effect, Lynn disbanded the forum he had created. Since the idea was first conceived by Umaru and she was the one who created it, even if Umaru learned magic from him, the scepter belonged to him, and Lynn had no intention of taking away her hard-earned achievements.

But in certain aspects of managing the forum, he would have to get involved.

If she's already running betting platforms on forums at such a young age, what will she be like when she grows up?

Moreover, Lynn saw that she actually posted on the forum calling on students to boycott morning and evening self-study sessions and give Hogwarts students a bright and clear world!

She usually pretended to be a good girl in front of him, but I never expected that Xiaomai was a born rebel who revealed her true colors online.

Once Lynn catches her, she'll definitely have to teach her a lesson.

He also scolded the scepter, telling it to stop leading Umaru astray. It didn't teach her anything good and only taught her to insult people online. It was not setting a good example at all. He said if it found out again, it wouldn't be allowed to play with Umaru during the summer vacation.

Faced with Lynn's reprimand, the scepter could only obediently agree.

But Lynn didn't have time to cause trouble for Umaru, because the first event of the Triwizard Tournament was about to begin.

On the afternoon of November 23, while the young wizard was having dinner, the entire grounds of Hogwarts suddenly trembled violently.

A tremendous roar echoed outside the castle, as if some enormous creature had fallen from the sky and crashed to the ground.

And indeed, after discovering that no professors were stopping them, some daring students went out of the castle and looked around. Sure enough, they saw a huge head in the Forbidden Forest!

"I can't believe it, how could there be such a huge thing?"

Cedric, standing beside Lin, spoke with a pale face. Not only him, but all the students who saw the giant object also gasped in surprise.

It was a humanoid creature with a bald head, an ugly big nose, and a face as big as a stone. Its upper body was exposed to the air, and its lower body, which was sitting cross-legged, could be vaguely seen wearing a leather skirt made of some kind of animal skin, hidden by the trees.

It is highly likely to be dragon skin, because such a large piece of skin could not be peeled off from other animals.

This is a giant!

However, the height of a normal giant is generally no more than 10 meters. For example, Hagrid's half-brother Gargup, even though he is considered short among giants, is 5 meters tall. A height of more than 8 meters is enough to be called a warrior among giants and to hold the position of leader in the tribe.

The giant who appeared at Hogwarts was already over 10 meters tall when he was visible from the Forbidden Forest; if he were to stand up, he would definitely be over 20 meters tall.

Dozens of wizards riding flying broomsticks were slowly descending beside the giant. Clearly, bringing such a colossal creature to Hogwarts had taken them a great deal of effort, even with magic.

The giant who had attracted everyone's attention was now hanging his head and dozing off with his eyes closed, as if the commotion he had just witnessed was nothing to him.

The students didn't even need the professors to explain why such a giant would appear in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts; they could guess the reason themselves.

Tomorrow marks the start of the first event of the Triwizard Tournament, and if nothing unexpected happens, the giant who appeared today will definitely be a match for the warriors from the four schools.

Most of the young wizards' faces were filled with fear; they couldn't imagine how a normal wizard could possibly fight against such a giant.

"Will they let you fight this giant tomorrow?"

Seamus, a Gryffindor student, asked Lynn in front of a group of young wizards.

Although Lynn had learned about his opponent in the first competition from Crouch beforehand, his face was still full of amazement, but he didn't show much fear. When he heard Seamus's question, he shook his head and said...

"It's unlikely that we'll be able to fight giants. Giants are creatures with extremely high magic resistance, even higher than dragons. Normal wizards' magic is like tickling them. If this is the first competition event, I think the warriors should buy train tickets and run away overnight."

His final joke put the students around him at ease, but one of the young wizards remained convinced.

"If it's Lynn, then it'll definitely work. This giant isn't much bigger than that basilisk monster from back then."

Those around him nodded in agreement when they heard what he said, but Lynn did not have the same confidence as them.

He knew very well that the reason the basilisk had grown so large was because of the enhancement effect of the potion brought by Fontana. Although its size was large, its strength had not yet increased to a level commensurate with its size.

The giant before them was different. If he could grow to this size solely through his own talent without any external aids, he would definitely be someone who could tear apart dragons with his bare hands and trample giants underfoot.

Lynn's current physique is not yet capable of such a terrifying level.

However, defeating them is not impossible, since the Titans' weaknesses are also obvious. The larger the Titans are, the more their weaknesses will be magnified. It's just that it would take more effort and be quite troublesome.

The warriors from the other three schools, Krum, Fleur, and Aniston from Ilfamoni, also witnessed the giant's fall.

They weren't as calm as Lynn had appeared; everyone was pale-faced, unable to imagine how they would fight such a behemoth the next day.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the students, especially the chosen warriors.

Of course, the principals of each school were also busy. Karkarov and Mrs. Maxim would help their students by giving advice and explaining the specific competition rules and how to deal with them in advance.

But Pikeli seemed to have completely left their Iphamoni warriors to their own devices. There were no hints or instructions whatsoever.

The same was true for Lynn, but not because Dumbledore left him to his own devices, but because he completely trusted him.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the warriors were taken separately to a small tent near the Forbidden Forest, where Balman, the Director of Sports at the Ministry of Magic, explained the rules of the competition to them.

The rules were not to make them fight the giant, but to make them retrieve the golden apple from the apple tree behind the giant while under his protection!
