Chapter 156 12 to 8
After searching for a long time on the Marauder's Map, Mike finally found Percy's name in the Transfiguration Classroom. Unlike the young wizards like Mike, senior students like Percy obviously have a much heavier workload. Just like now, Mike and others are all resting, but Percy is taking a Transfiguration class.
Although Mike decided to monitor Percy as soon as he got the Marauder's Map, it does not mean that he must keep staring at the Marauder's Map. He is a wizard.
After casting a spell on Percy's name, Mike closed the Marauder's Map and went to the Room of Requirement to start today's training.
Because Mike has been studying Transfiguration during this period, he has also conducted some research on alchemy, which is the same origin as Transfiguration, and the spell he just cast is one of the results of his research.
This spell is actually a collection of multiple spells. It can automatically monitor the marked Percy, and as long as Percy makes any unusual movements (such as night wandering), it will alert Mike.
Although it sounds simple, this is actually the first original spell developed by Mike himself, and Mike's inspiration comes from the automatic shorthand quill pen that can write homework by itself.
In Mike's imagination, if Percy is really the heir, he will definitely choose a secret place to communicate with Tom's soul in the diary.
The Gryffindor boys' dormitory is not a single room like Ravenclaw, so Percy must go out at night.
Once Percy chooses to go out at night, Mike will be able to catch his pigtail.
However, reality gave Mike a big slap in the face. After monitoring, Percy's behavior in the next few days was normal.
...
"Is he really not the heir?"
Mike sat on the sofa chair next to the fireplace and pondered. Percy's normal behavior in the past few days made Mike have to start doubting whether his initial judgment was wrong.
"Mike, why are you still here? The game is about to start." Franklin suddenly appeared in front of Mike and said.
Mike, whose train of thought was interrupted, sighed and decided not to think about it anymore. After responding to Franklin, he followed him out of the Ravenclaw common room.
Today is the day for the 12-to-8 competition of the duel competition. The 8 selected contestants will compete today to select 4 strong players to be ranked among the top 8 with Mike and other seeded players.
As soon as Mike arrived at the former practical training ground that was used as the duel competition venue, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum appeared on the competition field that was an empty space a few weeks ago. Although this "Colosseum" is several times smaller than the real ancient Roman Colosseum, it is enough to surprise Mike that the wizards have built such a huge building in just a few weeks.
"If wizards change their careers to become construction workers, wouldn't they be invincible?"
Mike thought so, and his thoughts gradually diverged.
Since the magic can be so efficient in construction, what about other aspects?
For example, planting, breeding, and transforming the Sahara Desert with springs... The
more Mike thought about it, the more excited he became. In the past, all his attention was focused on improving his own strength, and he had never paid attention to those spells that did not increase his strength at all. But from what he had just imagined, using spells to farm seemed to be very promising!
Just as Mike was thinking about it, the audience around him all cheered.
Mike came to his senses and subconsciously looked down at the huge duel arena below, and saw that Percy had entered the arena at some point, and was now confronting a Slytherin player.
Percy, wearing a plain robe, seemed to have a kind of magic, and his every move could cause cheers from the audience.
The Slytherin player who was confronting Percy was a little embarrassed by comparison.
Not only were there not many people willing to cheer for him, but he was also tied with a lot of bandages, looking like he was seriously injured but still insisted on fighting.
Mike had read the information of this Slytherin player in the file given by Lockhart. He fought with his opponent for nearly half an hour in the last round of the game, and finally he was defeated by the opponent's crushing curse.
Although he won the victory in the end, he was also seriously injured, and it seems that he has not recovered until now.
In the most conspicuous hanging attic above the duel field, Lockhart, wearing a duel robe and a few feathers on his head, was excitedly introducing the two contestants below.
Originally, this job should have been given to Quidditch commentator Lee Jordan, but Lockhart felt that he must not miss such a good opportunity to show his face, so he grabbed it.
After Lockhart in the hanging attic stopped his long-winded speech and announced the official start of the game, the two people in the center of the duel field also moved.
The Slytherin player took the lead and used Transfiguration to transform two giant pythons to attack Percy from the left and right.
However, Percy, who was opposite him, was not in a hurry to face the giant python. His mouth moved slightly. Before he could hear what he was muttering, two lights flashed from his wand. Then, before everyone present could react, the two giant pythons exploded as if they were hit by a rocket launcher.
The giant python he transformed was destroyed so easily. The Slytherin player seemed to be unable to believe what he saw and stood there in a daze.
Seeing that his opponent was actually in a daze during the game, Percy showed a mocking smile on his face and tapped his wand lightly.
Still, he could not hear the spell, and still only saw the flash but not the trajectory of the spell. The only difference from before was that the object of the explosion this time was changed from the giant python to the robe of the Slytherin player... on his body.
"Rip!"
Everyone only heard a crisp sound of cloth tearing, and all the clothes on the Slytherin player's body exploded, even his underwear.
Amid the laughter of the crowd in the stands, the Slytherin contestant fled the duel field, covering his vital parts. There was no point in continuing the duel, as anyone could see that Percy was much stronger than him.
And if Percy had not shown mercy, it would not just be his clothes that would have exploded.
Thinking of this, the naked Slytherin contestant quickened his pace, leaving only a white back to the crowd. Seeing this,
the audience laughed even harder, and some looked like they were almost out of breath.
However, Mike in the crowd narrowed his eyes slightly, with a serious expression.
This is not right! There must be something wrong with Percy!
