Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse...

Chapter 313 The Summoning of Goshak

"Ludo Bagman's 'Resurrection' - The Most Creative Three-Way Battle!"

"[With the first event of the Triwizard Tournament at Durmstrang coming to a close, the details have finally been revealed. The organizers of this tournament—the Durmstrang School administration, the headmasters of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, and the Department of Magical Sports and the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the British Ministry of Magic—jointly designed an ingenious challenge for us, and the performances of the three warriors—Mr. Ken from Hogwarts, Miss Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, and Mr. Viktor Krum from Durmstrang—were nothing short of spectacular…]"

Inside Nobiridge University, Kru Impree, controlled by Avada, was leisurely lounging on a sofa, holding a copy of the Daily Prophet that had just been delivered that day, flipping through the newly opened "Triple Throne Special Section".

Even with so many hidden and heavy missions, Norwich University remains fundamentally a university responsible for teaching and nurturing students. Both students and professors need to find some enjoyment in this oppressive building hidden in another dimension amidst their daily high-intensity studies or research. Therefore, the popularity of this three-way competition within the university is surprisingly high, even surpassing the attention from the outside world...

At least in the past few classes today, almost all of Avada's students have been discussing the Triwizard Tournament. So even though he had witnessed the match firsthand and knew far more details than what was in the newspapers, Avada couldn't resist asking for a copy of the Daily Prophet to see how "Ludo Bagman," now a mini-Barty, would describe the match to the outside world…

"We all agree that a person's true abilities and qualities are only revealed when facing the unknown."

[Durmstrang Principal Igor Karkaroff stated in an interview: "However, this is, after all, an officially organized competition—and as such, it naturally has rules, regulations, and corresponding security measures… Therefore, no matter how much the details of the events are concealed or the mystery is increased, the warriors will at most only approach the test with the mindset of facing a competition. They know in their hearts that these things will not truly threaten their lives, and winning or losing only involves the school's honor and the 1,000 Galleons prize… This is not enough to unleash a person's true potential."]

"Therefore, after discussing with the other four judges, I decided to add something unique to this tournament that has been restarted after a century—that is, to maximize the concept of the 'unknown,' to the point that it transcends the competition itself."

"Ultimately, we decided to hold the first event of the competition outside of the actual competition, as a 'sudden event.' To ensure the event was realistic enough and wouldn't be easily exposed, we added a lot of real elements, as well as some marketable rumors and conspiracy theories, with the consent of the parties involved..."

"Rumors and conspiracy theories... ha."

Avada rolled his eyes: "Are they really planning to use this competition as an opportunity to clear their name?"

"But to bring up something that hardly anyone cared about anymore...aren't they afraid of backfiring? Crouch is one thing, but what makes Karkaroff so confident?"

"According to Krum, he was already the most unpopular 'worst principal,' and if his past as a high-ranking criminal is confirmed, he'll have a hard time keeping his position as principal, right?"

"But then again... at least during the time Hogwarts and Beauxbatons visited Durmstrang, Karkaroff's performance wasn't nearly as bad as Krum described. Although his mental abilities certainly had an element of acting, to be honest, it wasn't that much... What's going on here?"

After slightly gathering his scattered thoughts, Avada continued to focus on the newspaper in his hands.

According to Mr. Bagman's account, our reporter learned that the first event of this tournament followed this script: Mr. Ludo Bagman, a gambling addict, owed money to the goblins and, unable to repay it, harbored rebellious intentions, planning to make a fortune through the betting on the Triwizard Tournament. To this end, he claimed to possess irrefutable evidence that Durmstrang Principal Karkaroff was suspected of being a Death Eater, and used this as leverage to obtain the judge's position…

Originally, the organizers had laid numerous clues throughout the school, and several professors were even posing as "guides," hoping the warriors would demonstrate their wisdom, perseverance, magical abilities, and social skills under the pressure of martial law and surveillance to gradually gather clues and uncover the truth. However, to everyone's surprise, the three warriors, within just two days, collected only a very limited number of clues and completely solved this "murder case" that the production team had meticulously planned for nearly a year.

"If I had to pinpoint the reason... it's probably because Mr. Ken's talent was simply too overwhelming."

Mr. Barty Crouch, who was in charge of this challenge, said: "He cracked this challenge with almost absolute dominance. Whether it was uniting the warriors, collecting and sorting out clues, deriving the last two most difficult conclusions one by one, or making arrangements in advance and revealing the truth while ensuring his own safety... he led almost everything. When he finally stood up to explain his methods, I felt like I was seeing those seasoned Aurors I used to work with..."

It is said that the mysterious "Mr. Ken" actually had experience solving a case before – back in 1992, when he was attending Hogwarts, the school he attended was secretly invaded by a mysterious person's artifacts and some unscrupulous individuals, even causing Headmaster Dumbledore to temporarily resign… And it was Mr. Ken who was the first to discover the truth that time, making a great contribution to saving Hogwarts, which is one of the reasons why he has become the most favored warrior this year…

Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office in the UK, stated that he is considering recruiting Mr. Ken into the Auror team after his graduation, hoping that he can use his talents to make British society safer and more prosperous...

"The Aurors noticed my performance?"

Seeing the effusive praise in the Daily Prophet, Avada couldn't help but feel pleased and decided to see how much more they could exaggerate his abilities...

dong dong dong.

"Professor Impree?"

After Avada waved the door open, a young face peeked in—it was one of his former students: "Principal Goshak wants you to go to her office."
