Chapter 175 Semi-Finals

In the circular arena of the duel competition, Cedric was fighting with Bruno. As the two fought, the giant lion and the giant badger in the air were also making many provocative movements to each other.

The stands of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were already boiling at this moment. Everyone was shouting the names of their own college players, and many people made various flags to cheer for the players.

In this atmosphere, the students of the other two colleges were also cheering for the two players fighting in the audience. Even the Slytherins, who were always very self-respecting and cold, fell into madness at this moment.

In fact, this can't be blamed on them, because anyone who has been to a large stadium to watch sports games or concerts should have experienced that when everyone around is cheering and screaming, you will unconsciously be driven by them.

The voices cheering for Cedric were obviously much more than Bruno's. This was partly because Hufflepuff had the largest number of people, but the most important reason was that Bruno's strength was much worse than Cedric's.

At this moment, Bruno's originally clean and tidy robe had already turned into a holey one covered with dust. These were the price he paid for avoiding Cedric's attack.

Fortunately, although he looked very embarrassed now, he still had a lot of magic power and his body was not seriously injured, which meant that he still had the strength to fight. Maybe he could win if he tried harder.

But Mike didn't think highly of him.

At this moment, Mike was sitting on the high throne with Slytherin's contestant Willy, watching the game on the field. The temperature was a bit low today, and the location of the high platform was also quite windy. Fortunately, the throne Mike was sitting on had an automatic heat preservation function, otherwise Mike would have to go to Madam Pomfrey to ask for some cold medicine that could make people spray white air from their nostrils and ears like a train.

Watching the game between Cedric and Bruno below the stage, Mike was so bored that he almost wanted to sleep.

Bruno didn't act like a brave lion at all, but more like a wretched mouse.

Bruno dodged Cedric's attack whenever he could, and if he couldn't, he relied on the Armor Protection Charm for defense. The way Bruno used the Armor Protection Charm was different from most wizards Mike had seen.

Mike had to admit that this guy did have a set of research on the Armor Protection Charm. Whenever Cedric's spell hit Bruno's armor, the spell he cast would change direction in an instant, thus passing by Bruno.

This led to Bruno's Armor Protection Charm's protective ability breaking through the sky. You should know that when a general armor protects against a spell, it is hard to resist it head-on and bear its full force.

However, Bruno's armor only needs to withstand less than one-third of the force, which makes his Armor Protection Charm at least three times stronger than others.

After some observation, Mike finally discovered the secret. It turned out that every time Bruno released the Armor Protection Charm, the transparent shield created was skewed, and the skewed angle seemed to have been precisely calculated, very accurate, which even Mike himself could not do.

Mike noticed this and his impression of Bruno changed greatly. Sure enough, the guys who could reach the semi-finals all had their own strengths.

But apart from that, Bruno had no other outstanding features. It was obvious that Bruno had not come up with any good tactics against Cedric in the quarter-finals.

Or, in other words, Bruno's solution was to rely on his turtle shell-like defense to drag down Cedric.

Mike on the high throne shook his head.

Except for the time when Cedric transformed into two giant wolves at the beginning of the game, Cedric had not used Transfiguration again, but only used ordinary attack spells to attack Bruno.

This was obviously letting him win.

You should know that Cedric, who practiced the family secret technique, has the strongest attack method of Transfiguration, but now he is using ordinary spells to compete. If this is not letting him win, then what is it?

The reason why Cedric let him win is still unknown. Perhaps it was to save face for Bruno, or perhaps he simply did not want to reveal too much strength.

"Mike, who do you think will win between the two of them?"

Willy's hoarse voice, which had just ended his voice change period, suddenly came to my ears.

"Need I say more?" Mike said without turning his head, "Of course it's Cedric."

"So who do you think will be the winner of the match between you and me?"

As soon as he said this, Mike turned his head and stared at Willy next to him with sharp eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Excuse me, you are not my opponent yet."

Willy, who was sitting on a throne next to him, was not affected by Mike's momentum at all. He just sat there with a smile on his face. Compared with Mike, his sitting posture was very formal, and his every move exuded an elegant temperament belonging to the nobility.

"Oh? So confident? How about we gamble?"

"It sounds interesting, so what's the prize? How can a 'gambler' not have a prize?"

Hearing what Mike said, Willy's face showed an expression of success, and he said along with Mike's words.

"If you lose, you have to promise me one thing. And if I lose, you can get my friendship."

Mike rolled his eyes. Willy's words revealed his character. Under his elegant and peaceful disguise, he was an extremely proud heart.

"Your friendship is worth more than that much money. If you lose, you can give me 10,000 gold Galleons."

Mike stared into Willy's eyes and said this.

Although Mike had been discussing tactics against Cedric with Flitwick these days, so he didn't study Willy too much, but Mike thought that no one would be his opponent except Cedric. So no matter how excessive the bet was, Mike would agree without hesitation, because in his opinion, it was like giving him money.

The reason why he only asked for 10,000 gold Galleons was because he was afraid that Willy would default on the debt. After all, even if Willy's family was rich, he had not inherited the family property, so he certainly couldn't afford too much money. If he asked for too much, he might not only not get the money, but also cause unnecessary trouble.

Willy on the other side obviously didn't think so much. When he heard that Mike was asking for only gold Galleons, Willy looked at Mike with a little bit of imperceptible disdain.

"Great! It's settled, Mike. I hope you won't deny your debt when

the time comes." "You are the one. Don't cry if you lose."

The two men's eyes, full of fighting spirit, met each other, and sparks seemed to appear in the air.

At this moment, there was a thunderous applause from the stands. Cedric finally defeated Bruno and ended this boring battle.
