After reaching the shore, Kyle turned over and jumped off the horse, which caused another cheer in the stands. Everyone looked at the horse-shaped water monster with excitement and curiosity, and talked about it.
"Oh, he's really impressive, isn't he?" Ron said enviously, "He can actually ride a horse in the water, just like a knight. If it were me..."
"Don't be silly, Ron. You don't think it's some docile herbivorous animal." Hermione interrupted his imagination and said, "It's a Kelpie, a dangerous carnivorous magical animal. Even adult wizards can't deal with it without professional knowledge."
"What? It eats meat?" Ron picked up the panoramic telescope hanging around his neck and looked at the horse-shaped sea monster floating on the water. Only then did he discover that it had two rows of saw-like sharp teeth in its mouth.
"I take it back." Ron frowned and said, "I would never ride a monster like this anyway.
On the other side, Kyle had already helped Connor and Gabrielle down. He took out his wand and waved it, and the wet clothes on the three of them immediately dried.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Kanna suddenly thought of something, "You brought Gabrielle out, what about Furong?"
"The mermen will tell her."
Kyle said, “In fact, when the warriors arrived at the tribe, the second task had already been completed. The so-called saving of the treasure was just a formality. The mermaids would not attack at all.
So when the time comes, she just needs to get out of the water, and it will be considered a success."
"But what if the referee gives her a low score because of this?" Kanna was still a little worried.
"No." Kyle shook his head. "After all, I'm the one who broke the rules. If there's any deduction, it's only my points... Besides, Ms. Maxime won't let that happen."
Kyle and Kanna looked in the direction of the referee at the same time. The five people there were discussing something, and then they saw a satisfied look on Ms. Maxime's face.
"See, I was right," Kyle whispered, "They will definitely not let their school suffer any loss."
As she spoke, Madam Pomfrey ran over from the crowd in a fuss.
Even though their clothes were dry, she wrapped each of them in a thick blanket and pumped them with a fiery potion.
Kyle felt a warm current flowing through his body, and then hot air came out of his ears.
"That's great, Kyle. I'm glad you weren't misled."
Professor McGonagall also came over and whispered, "As a wizard, the wand in our hands is what we should trust the most."
"Okay, come over here," she said. "You need to wait a while until all the warriors come out before we start scoring."
"Oh well."
Kyle followed Professor McGonagall to where the judges were.
As soon as Kyle climbed the stairs, he saw Dumbledore walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Excellent judgment and decisive action." He said with a smile, "Although it's not time for the scoring yet, I can reveal a piece of news in advance... Maybe this will allow you to sit here and wait for the other two warriors with peace of mind.
"Just when you came up, an hour had passed, so there is no doubt that you also received the highest score in this project."
"Congratulations, kid," Ludo Bagman said as he came over.
But Kyle could see that his smile was somewhat forced... and the same was true for Karkaroff and Maxim.
Next, Kyle was arranged to sit in the first row of the teachers' seats. Originally, Connor was supposed to go with him, but before she could sit down, Snape came over and dragged her away, giving Kyle a murderous look.
Kyle was speechless. It wasn't him who asked Connor to go into the water. It was arranged by Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. If you have the ability, go find them. Do you really only pick on the weak?
Of course, he just thought so in his mind and didn't dare say it out loud.
As for Gabrielle, she was taken away by Ms. Maxime.
"You're the first one out."
After Kyle sat down, Sirius next to him couldn't help but say, "I knew you could do it."
"How are they?" Kyle asked quietly, "How are the other two warriors?"
"They were all later than you," said Sirius. "The girl from Beauxbatons was fine, she was only ten minutes later than you. As for the one from Durmstrang, he just came out of the Forbidden Forest five minutes ago."
Kyle nodded.
It seems that this second project is about to be completed.
Then, Kyle sat in the stands for twenty minutes.
There is no way, there is nothing to see here, I can only sit there... I have to say, the person who designed this project is really a genius.
Finally, after sitting for half an hour, there was movement again on the calm lake surface.
Everyone looked over there.
This time it was Furong who came out...but unlike Kyle, she was sent to the shore by a group of mermaids, and she was already unconscious when she came up.
The judges hurried over, and Maxime took out a wand that was... at least twenty inches long, and tapped it on Fleur.
The unconscious Furong immediately spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water, and then slowly opened her eyes.
"Madam Maxime...Gabrielle..." After seeing Madam Maxime and the people around her, she immediately said anxiously: "My bubble head spell was broken by Grindylow, hurry, Gabrielle...she's still there..."
"Sister, I'm fine." The little girl quickly stood up.
Furong was stunned for a moment, then hugged her tightly in her arms, "Gabrielle... Thank God, I thought... I thought..."
A few minutes later, Krum also came out.

He used a Transfiguration spell on himself, transforming his upper body into a shark's head. He bit the Durmstrang boy's clothes roughly and threw him onto the shore.
Judging from his actions, it didn't look like he was treating a treasure at all. Instead, it looked more like he was throwing a Quaffle.
But the audience still gave him warm applause.
Dumbledore came to the water's edge and talked to the mermaids. A sharp sound came out of his mouth. Obviously, he could speak the language of the mermaids.
Finally he stood up and turned to the other referees, "Let's have a meeting first."
Several referees gathered together to discuss the matter.
While Madam Pomfrey was treating Krum's wounds, Fleur ran straight to the stand where Kyle was.
"I heard it all from Gabrielle..." She was so excited that she could hardly breathe, "You saved her again. This is the second time."
"Not really." Kyle said with a smile, "Professor Dumbledore will not let her be in danger. Even without me, the mermaids will bring her up."
"Thank you. She must have been very scared..."
Maybe it was because she was too excited, but Furong didn’t seem to hear what he said and subconsciously moved her head closer.
For a moment, Kyle felt his head buzzing, as if some kind of alarm had sounded, and the hair on his neck stood up.
He instinctively moved back and blurted out, "It's nothing. I was just worried that you might not be able to get there, so I brought her up with me."
Furong's movements came to an abrupt halt.
She looked at Kyle and asked word by word: "What do you mean...I may not be able to make it..."
"It was just like that." Kyle said calmly, "Weren't you sent up here by the mermaids? This just proves that my guess was correct, right?"
Furong's eye twitched.
"So you thought from the beginning that I would never be able to complete the second project, right?"
"Well... I can't say that." Kyle considered it for a moment, "Just in case."
Fleur took a sharp breath, then turned and walked away without saying anything, her long silver hair brushing Kyle's nose.
"Hey, you should be more gentlemanly." Sirius frowned, as if he was disappointed in someone.
How can you talk to a girl like this, and she's such a pretty girl... This boy looks smart, but why is he such a fool?
"You don't understand." Kyle shook his head.
Although he didn't know whether Furong wanted to express her gratitude with a kiss on the cheek, he didn't dare to bet.
Kyle glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Connor talking to Snape.
But Sirius was not happy.
"I don't understand?" He seemed to feel that he was being looked down upon, and raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't know how popular I was when I was in Hogwarts..."
