Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 291, Page 289: A Genius Among Geniuses

According to the Type-Moon universe, magic is equivalent to life force, and Ripple is the ultimate development of one's own life force.

In fact, the system is right in many ways; a strong body is indeed key to becoming a spellcaster.

Dudley's ability to unleash spells stems from this specially crafted wand, which can channel the magic power (Type-Moon) within his body. The magic crystals embedded in the wand also serve as an aid.

In addition, there are attribute enhancements after three meditation sessions.

Full stack of buffs

It's not surprising that a thunderous explosion injured the fire dragon; it would be absurd if he couldn't even damage the fire dragon.

"So strong."

The audience members all swallowed hard.

"Is this the power of the chief wizard? No wonder he is the head of the discipline group."

"It looks like a Hogwarts student exclaimed."

"The chief wizard?"

The unsuspecting onlookers, grasping the key words in his words, rushed forward to ask him questions.

The title of Chief Wizard only appears in Wizengamot. For example, Dumbledore was the Chief Wizard of Wizengamot. Wizards with this title are destined to be rising stars.

With the young wizard's explanation, they finally understood the origin of the chief wizard's name.

Given Dudley's prestige at Hogwarts, no wizard from the first to the seventh year dared to disobey him. So the young wizards secretly gave Dudley the title of Hogwarts' Head Wizard.

Of course, this title is a non-governmental designation and has not been officially recognized.

Even so, it's already quite remarkable.

The wizards around who had learned the whole story nodded in agreement. He was just a fourth-year student, yet he had managed to impress even the seventh-year students. In addition, there was the Dragon Speaker (Dragon Mandarin) and the little trick he had just shown.

My opinion of Dali has risen even higher.

At this moment, the situation on the field changed again, and Dali took out a vial of medicine from his pocket.

Bagman, who had been staring at Dudley through his panoramic binoculars, immediately shouted excitedly, "Potion! It's a potion! Dursley has taken a potion!"

"What kind of magic potion would that be?"

Before Bagman could give the other wizards any room for imagination, he continued to shout.

"Good heavens, Dursley actually put away his wand and charged towards the Hungarian Hornet Dragon! How can he be so fast?"

"How can he be so agile? The fire dragon's breath can't even touch him."

"That's amazing! Dursley seems to have eyes in the back of his head, dodging the fire dragon's tail attack."

"Look, he's climbed onto the Hungarian hornet's back. He's raised his fist. What's he going to do?"

Dali punched the Hungarian Tree Bee Dragon hard on the head. The latter trembled as if struck by a heavy blow and became dizzy. It tried to throw Dali off, but was met with blow after blow, as if it were being slammed with a giant iron hammer while shouting "Eighty!" After letting out a mournful cry, it staggered and fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up clouds of dust.

"How...how...how did he do that?"

Bagman was completely stunned. He never expected that the Hungarian Hornet Dragon, known for its ferocity, would be beaten down by a minor wizard with his fists. What kind of fists were those?

There's no reason for that; the head of the Hungarian Tree Bee Dragon is extremely hard, and even steel can't damage it in the slightest.

Why are many dragons in medieval novels invulnerable to weapons? Because the prototypes of these dragons are the Hungarian hornets.

That's a fist that a human can have?

Looking at Dudley on the field, Dumbledore calmly said, "I think I know why, Mr. Bagman."

Without hesitation, Bagman handed him the megaphone.

"Our Dursley is not only outstanding in Charms and Transfiguration, but he is actually best at Potions."

"What?! You mean he's actually good at potions?"

Dumbledore paused here, and Bagman, quite knowingly, took on the role of the straight man. The two of them, speaking in unison, successfully attracted the attention of the audience, who all listened attentively.

"He was the only designated successor of Professor Snape, the Potions Master of Hogwarts. He not only inherited his teacher's true skills, but also developed a potion to enhance his physical abilities through his own tireless efforts."

Snape's status as a Potions Master is extremely high; he is the youngest Potions Master in the wizarding world.

"I never expected that Professor Snape, with his reclusive personality, would take on a disciple," Karkaroff said, his eyes gleaming.

His relationship with Snape was rather complicated. Although both were former Death Eaters, Karkaroff escaped Azkaban by betraying his comrades. Incidentally, the list of Death Eaters he revealed included both Snape and Lucius. Lucius paid a high price to escape Azkaban, so Lucius's attitude towards him was neither intimate nor friendly, as if he were a stranger.

Snape was different. He was a Potions Master, Dumbledore vouched for him, and the Aurors found no evidence of any crime against him, so he was unharmed.

"What is that? What is it used for?" Bagman swallowed hard and asked.

Karkaroff was focused on Snape's disciple, while Bagman was focused on the potion itself—what kind of potion could have such a powerful effect, capable of defeating a dragon?

He thought if he could.

"Oh, that's a brilliant idea!"

Dumbledore's slow and deliberate way of speaking piqued the audience's interest and also aroused the curiosity of the other judges.

He blinked and said in a slightly cheeky tone, "Please forgive an old man over a hundred years old; sometimes I think I'm a bit long-winded. Where were we? Oh, right, that potion is called Braystar Potion, and it can grant wizards the abilities of several animals."

"Animals? How many kinds?"

Bagman stammered, his heart completely focused on the potion, and the other judges seemed to feel the same way.

"Let me think. It's the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, and the strength of a bear."

Dumbledore listed out the effects of Braystar Potion in detail.

"So that's why his movements were so fast and agile? That's why his strength was so exaggerated?"

"This is absolutely amazing."

The audience was filled with nothing but amazement, while the judges on the panel displayed a variety of expressions. Madam Maxim looked bitter; facing such an excellent wizard, the chances of her student Fleur winning this competition were too slim. Karkaroff's face was terribly gloomy, while Lucius remained calm and composed, as if nothing could sway him. A glimmer of longing flashed in Bagman's eyes.

The period of biding their time is almost over; it's time to step into the limelight and make their mark. Of course, this also applies to Mr. Potter, the Dark Wizard.
