Chapter 148 Representatives Will Arrive at Six O'clock
At the beginning of the game, Fred cast a spell similar to the Disillusionment spell on himself. This was the Chameleon spell he and George had figured out, which could blend himself into the background. However, the disadvantage of this magic was also obvious - the recipient had to stick to the wall for it to work, and it could only be cast on himself.
Then, he took the first and second graders to the fourth floor and approached the Transfiguration classroom, which served as a safe spot. They stopped at a corner less than ten meters away from the entrance. Fred asked the first and second graders to drink a little bit of Polyjuice Potion, which transformed them into the seventh-grade vase and Fred.
This was easy. The real Fred sneaked along the wall towards the seventh-grade opponent guarding the door, and then successfully attacked him with a Stunning Spell. At the moment he fell to the ground, the fake vase and the fake Fred rushed out from the corner at the same time, shouting "Avada Kedavra" to the remaining sixth-grade opponent, and rushed into the classroom.
The sixth grader knew he had been tricked the moment he tried to evade, but the two fakes had already turned back into their original little ones and waved at him in the safe zone.
No one could tell at first glance whether the fake's school uniform was suitable for him.
Fred knew that he could not defeat the sixth grade bully, so he asked the fake to shout "Avada Kedavra" to attract attention, while he fled to the next floor and gave the signal to attack: "Cock-a-doodle-doo--"
The sudden crowing of the rooster just sounded, and all the players hiding in the dark places on the third floor came out and launched the Tian Ji horse racing tactics - seventh grade vase vs fifth grader, sixth grade Fred vs fourth grader, fifth grade Quidditch player vs third grader, fourth grade vice president vs second grader, third grade Luna vs first grader.
Except for the vase senior who was killed by the fifth grader, everyone else easily defeated their opponents, and then worked together to kill the fifth grade opponent.
The seventh-grade opponent upstairs was rescued by his sixth-grade companion, but the game was already a foregone conclusion. Fred brought two assistants to ambush the seventh-grade opponent, and the fourth-grade vice president brought Quidditch players to face the sixth-grade academic bully head-on.
The opponent needed to take on five people with two, and Fred, this bitch, wanted to sneak attack, so there was really no suspense.
In the end, Fred's team reached the safety point at the cost of one death and six people, and wiped out the opponent with overwhelming and cheap tricks. Some gossip after the game said that it was not that Fred couldn't wake up the vase, but that she had rejected Fred's pursuit.
Abbot Fred was also very stingy.
Except for scum like Fred and George who fought with tricks, the rest of the teams generally relied on personal strength and teamwork to win. In other words, the harder the students work in practical clubs, the more dazzling they will be in battle.
Every night, students who returned victoriously would be warmly cheered by their classmates in the common room. The losers were treated differently according to the style of each college - Slytherin was mocked, Ravenclaw was given immediate counseling, Hufflepuff was comforted, and Gryffindor was dragged around the dormitory while singing booing songs.
As the intensive simulation war unfolded, students began to crowd into various practical clubs, including the "Potions Study Club". Who told Fred that his record in using potions was too dazzling? No matter how stinky Snape's face was, how boring the development of potions was, and how cold and gloomy the dungeon was, the students endured it!
That's right, if you want to practice potion making, you must find Snape in the dungeon. The activity room can't stand the potential explosion...
Gradually, the students' practical level and tactical literacy are also improving rapidly. In addition to the more intense cross-level melee, the melee between good and evil is no longer a one-sided abuse of the professors, and they are often counterattacked by students in groups. In the classroom assault and defense battle, some professors who pretended to be invaders even died in several consecutive battles.
In the end, Filch became the most popular staff member in the invasion team because he returned to Muggle society during the summer vacation to receive formal firearms training and basic military training. When he was firing his magic rifle, he was invincible because professors usually didn't interrupt his interest.
In addition, Chen Bin provided bags of student-version magic bullets for free, which made it easier for him to kill.
You know, those bags of bullets were packed in traceless stretch bags! ! ! !
Now, after two years of mass production, the cost of these magic bullets has been reduced to lower than the copper bullets in the Muggle world. Its raw materials are wood, half wool, clay and 0.3 carats of diamonds.
In short, Chen Bin doesn't mind wasting magic to please Filch.
From then on, Filch became Chen Bin's die-hard supporter, and anyone who said bad things about Chen Bin in the corridor would be punished by him.
Once again, Abbot Chen is very petty.
╰(◣﹏◢)╯
This crazy fighting atmosphere continued until the morning of October 30th. Everyone still changed their clothes, ready to be bullied by professors and seventh-year students in the "Infinite Battle of Good and Evil" or to take revenge on them.
Unexpectedly, breakfast on this day appeared normally on four long tables. There was no expected alarm, and no masked black-robed man suddenly attacked them.
All faculty members also sat in the faculty seats on the stage, waiting for the headmaster to say something.
"Everyone, be quiet." Old Dumbledore interrupted the buzzing conversation of the students and announced in a loud voice: "Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 6 pm this evening. The afternoon classes will be cancelled and replaced by collective cleaning of the castle, and then go back to the dormitory to organize their clothes. The Triwizard Tournament is about to take place."
After a pause, he swept his threatening eyes towards the troublemakers of each grade, and his eyes stayed on George and Fred.
"In order to let friends who have come from afar feel our friendly atmosphere, students are strictly prohibited from doing inappropriate behavior during this period. Also, before they have adapted to our atmosphere, the three mock battles will be temporarily suspended until further notice. Therefore, please return to the dormitory after breakfast and take off your protective gear and goggles."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden cry of grief from the audience. They were used to this kind of fierce competition, and they also discussed tactical arrangements before going to bed every night, but the competition was suddenly suspended indefinitely today.
At this time, some students remembered that the school had posted a notice a week ago to inform students that there would be guests coming today, which might affect the holding of the mock battle. At that time, everyone didn't take it seriously. Their minds were full of tactics and strategies. After dinner, they also practiced practical skills in the activity room. No one thought that the impact would be suspension!
The school has long had a vicious policy that any student who failed to submit homework or had poor papers would be prohibited from participating in the mock battle. Although not every student likes fighting, those who are not eligible to participate are isolated after all their friends have participated.
Therefore, almost all students also try their best to hand in beautiful papers and homework. As for the method? As a student, you will understand. When students who were not interested in it become active, it would be strange if they are not frustrated if Dumbledore said to stop it!
Katerina noticed that the students were not looking forward to the Triwizard Tournament as much as when the school started.
"Why is it like this?" She told Chen Bin about this confusion, and the latter smiled and said, "This is the result I want. The Triwizard Tournament is a large-scale event, but only three student representatives can play. This is just a stand-alone game. The audience on the stage is like the cloud players on the video website. Where is the sense of involvement? Simulation battle is a large, medium and small team network game. The configuration may not be as high as the former, but players are very addicted, and the entry threshold is still very low!"
Although Kate didn't understand what stand-alone and networked were, she probably understood Chen Bin's metaphor, so Hogwarts students preferred simulation battles. This is exactly the portrayal of the endless joy of fighting with others - no matter how exquisite the single-player levels are, they are not as powerful as online games and mobile games.
In the following breakfast and lunch, except for George and Fred who were still thinking about the prize money of the tournament, other students were still discussing the impact of suspending the mock battle.
"Why do we have to hold the Triwizard Tournament this year?"
Chen Bin just passed by the Hufflepuff table after eating, and unexpectedly found this familiar voice complaining.
"No way? Cedric, didn't you want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament before?" Chen Bin flashed behind Diggory and asked curiously.
Draco, who was sitting diagonally opposite, said, "This competition only selects one Hogwarts student to participate, but it takes up a lot of time. Cedric just said that the competitions a century and a half ago were all in the form of passing levels. There is no sense of accomplishment in winning. It is better to defeat the professor in the battle between good and evil."
"Don't talk nonsense." Diggory said nervously, "It does not include defeating you. You are our most respected Professor Namar, who wants to defeat you?"
Chen Fangzhang's reputation as a petty person has spread throughout the school, but he did not pay attention to what Diggory said at this time, because he felt that the plot had changed again. The real warrior of Hogwarts now dislikes this kind of competition. He is obviously the man chosen by the Goblet of Fire!
Unknowingly, Hogwarts has been changed beyond recognition by Chen Bin and Old Dumbledore.
Ernie Macmillan no longer encouraged Diggory to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, but instead suggested that he lobby Professor Namar to persuade Dumbledore to resume the mock battle.
Ron no longer teased Hermione for liking Diggory or Lockhart, but instead teased her about having a crush on Chen Bin.
Harry didn't just peek at Qiu Zhang from afar, but also taught girls including her how to get better results in mock battles in the activity room.
It turned out that the fourth grade would have increasing homework and exam pressure, but the courses in this time and space were not too strenuous for students. Club activities and mock battles solved most of the practical problems, and many students took the initiative to study boring theories for better results.
Without a solid theoretical foundation, you will always lose to others in practice.
Professor Katerina is the best example.
