Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

At this moment, Hermione, seeing her two friends, also came over and explained to them.

"Then they recruited several more young wizards—including those from other grades, but all of them were good at different fields... such as magical plants, magical animals, and a young wizard who was good at architecture. It was said that his father was a Muggle architect..."

"Architect? What's the use of that?"*3

Harry, Ron, and Neville looked at each other and asked in unison.

"Build defenses!"

Hermione said as a matter of course.

"He combined his Transfiguration skills with his architectural skills to create a triple-reinforced wall, which even withstood an attack from a Hippogriff..."

"Cool!"

So, the three of them sighed almost at the same time.

Expedition team, is there such a way to play maze test?

Looking at the agile little wizards on the magic light screen.

And when they think about themselves who are still doing their own tasks, or even being eliminated for saving their enemies.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Don't be discouraged."

At this moment, Cedric also came over.

He smiled and said, "The ones you see are the ones who are still in the maze. They are considered the most outstanding among all the young wizards who participated in the assessment."

"They are generally older, and Ryan said that the assessment standards will be different depending on the individual. For example, the magic power required to solidify the badge varies for each grade."

"You're only in second grade, and you still have a long future of growing up."

He explained this, but he was obviously a little excited.

If he had not been allowed to join the club early, he would also really want to explore this interesting maze.

He was confident that he was no worse than anyone else—except Ryan, of course.

After hearing Cedric's words, Harry and the others felt a little comforted.

"But...it's probably going to be difficult for them this time."

At this moment, looking at the team of young wizards in the light curtain, Cedric also added.

"How to say?"

Harry was curious.

"Ryan said that as the time spent in the maze increases, the difficulty of the tests and the strength of the magical beasts will increase. According to him, he will enhance their vitality."

"That frost boar is already a powerful magical beast, and now it should be experiencing further strengthening... This team doesn't have anyone who can master the powerful fire spell that is most effective against it. I think it will be wiped out."

Cedric explained, "They can't even run away—the frost pigs, though large and seemingly unwieldy, are actually very fast and clever..."

As if to prove his words.

Harry really saw that at this moment, a young wizard on the light curtain was directly knocked away by the huge, blue wild boar.

His figure was enveloped by a magical power in the air and teleported away.

And Harry heard a cry of 'Ouch' from the treatment room behind him - obviously, the little wizard was eliminated!

His elimination obviously became the key to pushing down the dominoes.

Without his support, the other little wizards were quickly eliminated one by one by the frost boar.

"..."

At this moment, Harry and the other two looked at each other, feeling even more awkward.

Well... from the moment they entered the maze, they didn't fight many magical creatures from beginning to end - Neville's main source of magic points was Herbology, Ron's was from playing chess, and Harry's was from flying.

So much so that they didn't even realize that the creatures in the maze would become stronger over time.

"It's so ugly. How did Ryan come up with such an idea?"

Ron couldn't help but complain.

Cedric shook his head. "I heard he referenced some Muggle stuff—something called 'online games'. He said he saw the husband of the caregiver at the orphanage playing it..."

Hearing this, the remaining few people naturally looked at each other in confusion.

No one had ever heard of this stuff - including Harry, who grew up in the Muggle world... His uncle and aunt would never give him the opportunity to come into contact with something that sounded interesting at first glance.

During the discussion among several people, it seemed that the enhancements obtained by the magical beasts in the maze had reached a certain "threshold".

The remaining little wizards in the maze began to be eliminated quickly.

In just less than ten minutes.

All the light screens in the maze dimmed, replaced by the noisy and lively atmosphere of the healers sighing, "Just a little bit" and "I almost killed it."

And at the same time...

"Boom!"

Everyone saw that after the last little wizard was eliminated, the huge Forbidden Forest maze began to disappear rapidly accompanied by the roar and tremors of the entire earth.

The walls of the maze began to transform back into the plants of the Forbidden Forest, and the cries of the magical beasts began to fade away - they were sent back to their own territory.

Just a moment.

The Forbidden Forest turned back into the Forbidden Forest that the young wizards were familiar with.

This made almost all the young wizards present look regretful.

no doubt.

For the wizarding world, which is severely lacking in entertainment options, the maze created by Ryan is an extremely novel experience.

Especially for young wizards who are already energetic and love adventure.

All the novel experiences in this maze made them more interested than ever before.

So at this moment, they would naturally feel regretful about the disappearance of the maze.

Especially some little wizards who had not played in it for long and were sent out due to various accidents and carelessness.

At this moment, he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.

But it is at this moment...

"My fellow students."

Ryan's voice rang out again.

Regardless of whether they are the little wizards inside the treatment room or the little wizards who have come outside.

At this moment, his voice can be heard clearly.

"The entrance examination for the Pavatu Club is over."

“I am honored to have witnessed your outstanding performance and talents with the professors. Many of your talents have surprised the professors.”

"And I can also tell you about the 'Hogwarts Maze'..."

Ryan didn't hesitate and directly told Professor McGonagall what he had just said about the solution to the maze.

After hearing that the maze would not disappear but would reopen every weekend, members of the Pavatu Club would be given additional entry rights.

The little wizards' eyes all lit up.

"That's right! That's right Elias - I'm definitely going to go through that flying track next time..."

For example, at this moment, Oliver Wood, who was eliminated because he fell from a high place during the flight test, was trembling with excitement.

There's no way you can pass. I'll secretly modify the track.

Ryan muttered to himself without blinking.

And he continued speaking.

"Then, I will announce the list of those who passed the test and what they did in the maze. As I said before the test, they will become members of the Pavatu Club."

He stopped here.

The originally bustling and noisy scene of young wizards suddenly became quiet.

They looked at Ryan nervously - until now, Ryan still had not announced the standards for passing the Pavatu Club's assessment.

Therefore, even a young wizard who has obtained a large number of magic points is not sure whether he has passed the test.

And obviously, Ryan did not keep it a secret at this time.

He simply said, "Well, let's start announcing the results."

Ryan waved as he spoke.

Then the young wizards saw that the light curtain that had disappeared from the audience seats reappeared.

At this moment, the light screen was showing scenes of some little wizards casting spells in the maze.

"Mr. Romya Otto, a fourth-year student at Ravenclaw, performed a brilliant combination of the Exploding Curse and the Levitation Curse, allowing him to successfully pass the spell power test and earn himself 30 magic points. After unanimous deliberation, the professors decided to give him an additional 25 points for this spell."

“That was certainly enough to get him through the Pavatu Club test.”

Ryan spoke and announced the name of the first young wizard who passed the test.

Then Harry heard cheers coming from the Ravenclaw crowd.

A young blond wizard smiled and bowed to everyone - it was obvious that he was Romya Otto, who was named by Ryan.

At this moment, Harry saw that the illusory 'Pavatu Club' badge he was wearing suddenly solidified.

It turned into a real badge with a pattern of four giants holding up the world.

And then...

"Miss Ella Caruso, a third-year Hufflepuff student, your use of magical plants and life magic is commendable. Using life magic to accelerate the growth of the stench-smelling grass to conceal your presence allowed you to successfully evade the Shadow Leopard's pursuit and also earned you an additional 15 magic points."

"Gryffindor fifth year, Mr. Oliver Wood, your flying skills..."

Ryan kept reading out the list of young wizards who passed the test, and each name was accompanied by cheers from the corresponding academy.

But gradually, even the least perceptive little wizards discovered a problem.
