My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 271
"Can we score now? I remember that there was diving in the Muggle Games."

On the rostrum in the middle of the auditorium, Dumbledore picked up the score card at hand, fanned it around his face like a fan, and joked, "Just for this splash, I am willing to give her [-] points."

"I suggest that you add a diving competition. In the future, you can send three fish to dive in the Triwizard Tournament." Constance said angrily, "Do the easy contact work by yourself, and let the lady here do the miscellaneous work of setting up the venue. , you are too ungentlemanly, Albus."

"He did it to avoid suspicion. After all, you were the one who suspected that we would cheat before the game." Sigmund shook his head, "Besides, Constance, you are not a lady."

Listening to the three headmasters telling each other, and even quarreling, Nobby Rich, the British Minister of Magic who is no longer young, can't wait to stuff himself under the seat. So this is the friendship of famous wizards?Nobby couldn't help but miss the time when he was a small employee.

In contrast, the commissioners sent by the German and French Ministry of Magic sitting in the corner are more professional. The hairy German commissioner is talking with the French witch with a strong Bulgarian flavor. The main content of the chat is Focus on telling how unfamiliar you are with English.

"Riddle has stepped onto the platform guarded by Newt Scamander!" The passionate words of the commentary attracted the attention of the judges and the audience, "It is worth mentioning that Newt Scamander once studied at Gwartz's Hufflepuff College was expelled for some reason, but he became a world-renowned expert on magical animals after leaving school, and his challenger, Riddle, who was excellent in campus education, could Can he defeat his former senior? Can he justify his teaching level through his performance at Hogwarts? Let us wait and see!"

"Is there such a link during rehearsal?"

An embarrassing expression quickly appeared on Dumbledore's face. Constance and Sigmund beside him were amused. Constance patted Dumbledore's back and teased, "Hogwarts! Every wizard expelled here is quite a character, which at least proves that you have laid a solid foundation for the students in the lower grades of education."

"Didn't Hogwarts only fire one person?"

Under the control of the staff, the water polo playing Tom's figure quickly spread out and turned into a "big pie". The field of view it can display also expanded rapidly, and the picture became more detailed.

"Wow!"

When they saw the scene where Tom was in, the audience present let out an exclamation in unison.

Newt's platform is bigger than it looks from a distance, and Tom's back is facing the camera, his thin and slender back is in stark contrast to the scene of dancing demons in front of him.

Compared with the giant beasts in front of Tom, Newt's platform seemed a bit narrow and cramped, and even the sky above his head was squeezed airtight. Standing in the front row was not the beautiful Zou that Tom was familiar with. I, but a leopard as huge as an elephant. Its appearance is similar to that of a common jaguar. Its yellow hair is covered with black spots, and thick black venom is constantly dripping from each black spot. , the venom evaporates quickly during the fall, and with each drop, the surrounding air will become more gloomy, and the venom that falls on the ground by chance will corrode the platform under the feet like a strong acid, despite the protection of magic, but The ground where the giant leopards are entrenched has also been eroded and pitted.

"Panther." Tom's face became serious, and the screen that was divided into two quickly showed his expression.

"My God! What Contestant Riddle is facing is—" The commentator paused for a while, then took the note from the assistant on the side without changing his expression, cleared his throat, and continued, "This is the world famous The most dangerous animal in the world, the poison leopard, its body fluid is the most corrosive natural strong acid, it will spit out hundreds of millions of germs every time it breathes, and the person who inhales it will experience more than [-] seconds of pain and get Relief, Newt Scamander is indeed the person who knows the most about magical animals in the world, how did he regain this beast that requires hundreds of wizards to work together?"

The commentator expressed the feelings of everyone present, but Tom's face remained calm. He never thought that Newt's test would be to play games with cute magical animals like Bowtruckles, but the vanguard sent by Newt had already It exceeded his expectations.

"Although Riddle only needs to obtain three gems to pass the level, he can completely avoid the poisonous leopard, but fighting in an environment already full of poison is a life-threatening challenge for anyone. "The commentator made suggestions, "Riddle's best choice is to find a route as far away from the poison leopard as possible, and get the gems by playing with those cumbersome big guys! Let's see what he will do?"

Tom also heard what he said, but he didn't really want to deal with this flamboyant guy. It is true that it is a good idea to avoid the poisonous leopard, but the magical animals behind the poisonous leopard are not vegetarian. Leaving aside the destructive magical animals such as worms, witches, birds and snakes, the "cute" behind them is enough to cause headaches for most wizards.

Tom saw a few chubby chicken-like birds walking on the edge of the platform, each with a shining gemstone hanging around its neck, but he knew that these guys called ball squirrels had read through "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" They just look cute. As a kind of bird population that does not have the ability to fly and can only swing and move on the ground like a penguin, it can continue to this day entirely because they have a suffocating unique skill-teleportation.

"It seems that Hogwarts' defense is not invincible. Many magical animals can break through the restriction of apparation with their own abilities, and not only the precious phoenix," Newt also specifically mentioned at the dinner table a few days ago They: "The Muggles call them the 'dodo' and they think they've made the bird extinct, but the truth is, they're still alive and well where they live, they're just out of sight for the Muggles. "

Tom shook his head and gave up the plan to steal the chicken from the flank. The exit of the arena was opposite him. There were three grooves on a stone slab connected to the iron chain leading to the next level. It should be the place where Newt was going to let the warriors place the gems. If you want to attack from the middle, you will inevitably be besieged by many magical animals.

Behind the defense line composed of several giant beasts, there are groups of small magical animals, and the flickering silver hidden monsters form a group. When they disappear collectively, there seems to be an open space; a half-human tall The big spider is covered with small spiders, and the surrounding magical animals don't want to get close to them; the South American Sniff, which looks similar to Sniff, has the same name, but it's a big mistake to think of them as those little guys who like gold coins. They have the ability to shape the soil. They mainly live in the Atacama Desert in South America. Their favorite way of hunting is to dig a large pit under the feet of their prey, and then lock them with soil when they fall into the pit. After completely losing the ability to resist, they gnawed from the bottom of the feet; there is also a group of fairies, they are not harmful, and they are even used by Newt to decorate the castle, but as a light source, they will become untouchable when attacked , it is helpless...

"Are those sniffs? If it were me, I would use gold coins—" The narrator who was interrupted by the assistant wanted to show his professionalism, but quickly fell silent, because Newt these various magical animals, He could only name some of them.

"Honestly, that's the downside of over-secrecy," Constance commented. "The casters don't know what to say."

"It doesn't matter," Dumbledore waved his hand, and a piece of parchment full of words dangled and flew towards the commentary booth, while commenting, "The best choice for Tom is to surprise those big guys, if he wants to Bullying the small animals around may soon lead to a protracted war and wait for the big guys to come back."

"Scamander probably wouldn't command these magical animals himself?" Sigmund said, "If that's the case, just cut off the iron chain."

"You also know that there is a problem with your competition system?" Constance looked for the opportunity to make up the knife.

"I think it's very good. After all, even we can't see who is winning and who is winning."

"Hush." ​​Dumbledore suddenly put his index finger to his lips, motioning to the other two headmasters, and Tom moved.

I saw Tom stepping forward,
"Tom, I didn't expect you to choose me as the first opponent."

Newt's voice came from the group of magical animals. With a dull rumbling noise, a huge horned camel squeezed through the group of animals and walked out slowly. Every step made the platform under its feet dusty.

"Don't worry, I have the antidote for all poisons, if you—"

He was halfway through his words when Tom moved suddenly.

From nowhere, he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face. The sunglasses quickly unfolded into a translucent black mask. Immediately afterwards, Tom appeared in front of the birds and snakes on the edge of the herd of giant beasts.

As Dumbledore had guessed, after weighing the danger of giant beasts and the nausea of ​​small animals, Tom chose the middle path of surprise attack, but he chose a faster path.

The bird snake looks a bit like the feathered snake god in the Aztec mythology of Central America. It is a snake with two wings. It is said that the birth of the first feathered snake came from a failed transfiguration experiment. The snakes fused together, eventually giving birth to the bird-snake with the ability to fly.

The bird snake is most praised for its eggs made of pure silver. Its appearance like a work of art and its habit of preying on insects make it easy to ignore its danger, but no one has ever thought that since the eggs of bird snakes are so Expensive, why so few people take advantage of this to make a profit, why are the wizards who sell bird and snake eggs on the black market either missing arms and legs, or full of scars.

In addition to the physical fitness that is far above the average line, the bird snake also has a special ability. It can freely change its body shape according to the size of the space it is in. In the outdoor environment, Newt’s bird snake even for The companions made room to coil themselves up, but its height still surpassed the tallest horned camel present.

Tom stood in front of the snake, and Parseltongue blurted out.

"Hiss... hiss!" (Swallow me!)

Parseltongue is such a kind of magic, as long as it is a snake, no matter it is a rooster, snake, goat or snake, it can communicate, and the Parseltongue with magic power has the ability to control the actions of snakes.

"It seems that the legend about the origin of the cockatrice is true." Tom smiled contentedly when he was swallowed by the suddenly mad cockatrice.

A big question mark was written on Newt's face. Before the game, he deliberately set a path starting from the sac leopard.

This will be a comprehensive test of courage, love, understanding of magical animals, patience, actual combat ability and physical fitness. As long as you choose to face this poisonous leopard that weakens its own poison, the perfect test will be given to the warrior.

At least Newt thinks so, his "bronze wall" can almost stop most wizards in the world, including opponents like Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but how could Tom choose such a "skip class" method? style of play.

After swallowing Tom, the calmest bird and snake suddenly went berserk. It raised its thick tail and slammed it heavily on the ground. Big circle.

The bird snake opened its bloody mouth wide, roared and rushed towards the South American sniffing group behind it, and took away more than half of them in one bite.

Although Newt reacted quickly, he turned around and pointed at the stone slab where the gemstone was placed with his wand, and a huge rope net aimed at the wings of the bird and snake used it as a hood.

But the enlarged bird and snake had already completed the acceleration, and it rushed towards the stone slab regardless of the pain and the wings roped by the rope net. The magical animals on the way were hit everywhere. Newt had no choice but to enlarge the rope net, but At the same time, the pores of the rope net became larger, and the pores were taut enough to allow a person to slip through.

A person?

When it was two meters away from the stone slab, the forward momentum of the bird and snake finally disappeared. It opened its mouth, and a black shadow rushed out of its mouth. Newt blinked. Tom was already standing by the stone slab, holding a handful of gems. He picked out three at random and put them in the slate, and put the others in his pocket.

"boom--"

Four tongues of red flames shot out from the four corners of the platform, and Tom stepped on the cableway to the next level.

"Sorry, Newt, I wanted to fight you fairly, but I'm in a hurry."

"The youngest warrior from Hogwarts, Tom Riddle!" The voice of the commentary sounded at the right time, "He passed the first level first in an unimaginable way!"

Ludwig, who had just walked into the Flitwick dueling arena, was a little confused. Why did it end there before I started?

He raised his head and had a choice for his next level.

"Do you think my level is easy?" Newt, who happened to meet Ludwig's eyes, rubbed his hair in frustration, "I hope you choose me for the next level."
