Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 582 You, Keep Going! (Second Update)

When Jerry's name was called out, everyone's eyes dimmed for a moment, but then they all stood up, applauded, and cheered loudly.

The slight disappointment I felt was because I wasn't selected.

The reason they stood up to applaud and cheer was because all the young wizards felt that Jerry's selection as a champion of Hogwarts was truly well-deserved.

It's not just about ability; if it weren't for Jerry, many young wizards wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the election.

Furthermore, apart from Jerry, any junior wizard chosen to become a warrior would only receive applause and cheers from the wizards of their own academy, and would find it extremely difficult to gain the approval of all the junior wizards from the other three academies.

Amid cheers from everyone, Jerry gracefully rose from the Slytherin table and walked into a small room next to the Great Hall.

"Viktor Krum, the warrior of Durmstrang!"

After Jerry entered the small room, the second parchment was also sent out of the Goblet of Fire by the red flames.

Before the young wizards could even clap, Durmstrang's headmaster, Karkaroff, roared and stood up first:

"That's fantastic, Viktor! I knew you were destined to be a warrior!"

Krum stood up somewhat awkwardly, then quickly crossed the corridor and arrived at the cabin where Jerry was.

After the applause ended, the last note appeared in Snape's hand.

"The Warrior of Beauxbatons—Flori Delacour!"

Immediately, all the male wizards in the hall stood up and applauded the stunningly charming Fleur.

However, the other little witches from Beauxbatons were not so happy. Some of the little witches who were not chosen buried their heads in their arms and cried sadly.

Meanwhile, inside the small room next to the auditorium.

Krum, with a serious expression, was uttering harsh words to Jerry, who was leisurely sipping red tea by the fireplace:

"Jerry, I lost the Quidditch World Cup last time, and I accepted it wholeheartedly. But I'll definitely avenge myself in the Quidditch World Cup four years from now!"

As the former strongest and youngest Quidditch Seeker, losing to Jerry, who was even younger than him, at the Quidditch World Cup has always been a source of resentment for him.

He also knew that only by defeating Jerry again in the next World Cup Earth Championship could he reclaim the glory that belonged to him.

"Oh, you probably don't know, but I've already voluntarily withdrawn from the England Quidditch team and will no longer play Quidditch. I feel that Quidditch isn't for me; studying magic is much more interesting."

Jerry wasn't angry at Krum's harsh words; he simply gave a brief explanation.

He joined the English Quidditch team initially for Galleons, but now that he has no shortage of Galleons, there's no need to waste time on such a boring thing.

Upon hearing Jerry's words, Krum was instantly stunned.

A world-class Quidditch Seeker, a Seeker who caught the Golden Snitch in fifteen seconds with incredible skill and broke the Quidditch World Cup record, actually said Quidditch wasn't for him.

Is this...is this even human language?!

After watching that final match, he set Jerry as his goal and made up his mind to train hard for the next four years so that he could challenge Jerry again in four years.

As a result, the other person retired because they felt they were not suited for the sport.

In other words, no matter how hard he tries in the future, he will never be able to redeem himself.

After calming down, Krum gritted his teeth and looked up at Jerry again:

"Since you're no longer playing Quidditch, then I'll beat you in this Triwizard Tournament!"

Since Quidditch has no chance to avenge his previous defeat, he might as well let his opponent lose to him in magic, which would be a different kind of revenge.

He was confident about this three-way battle. After all, Durmstrang was famous for his dark magic, and his dark magic was the best in the entire school. Even Karkaroff praised him as a rare dark magic genius.

Although Jerry improved flying techniques and invented teleportation magic, seemingly possessing strong theoretical knowledge of magic, he is only a fourth-year student after all. How much practical experience could he possibly have?

Besides, black magic is recognized as the most destructive magic, and the opponent's flight and teleportation spells are just auxiliary spells.

Oh, and there's also a rumor that when Jerry started third grade, he used the Patronus Charm to drive away more than a dozen Dementors and defeat more than a dozen Aurors.

He didn't believe in such obviously exaggerated and baseless rumors at all.

He felt that any wizard with a sound mind would not believe that a third-year wizard could do the things that were rumored.

It's estimated that he was so frightened by the Dementor's inspection that he barely managed to use the Patronus Charm. Then, because the Dementor couldn't find Sirius, he was called back by the Auror.

The reporters at the Daily Prophet just love to use exaggeration to grab attention.

"Then good luck!"

Seeing Krum's serious expression, Jerry put down his teacup and gave him a thumbs-up.

Krum wasn't a bad person, he was just very competitive, so Jerry didn't bother arguing with him.

Krum looked at Jerry, who had a gentle smile on his face and was encouraging him, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He could no longer tell whether the other person genuinely disregarded him or was just that nice-natured.

Just then, Fleur entered the room, tossing her cascading silver hair, and with light steps, she bypassed Krum and stood before Jerry, extending her hand:

"I haven't formally introduced you yet, Fleur Delacour, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

However, she also has the right to be proud. In terms of beauty, she is the school beauty of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and because of her Veela bloodline, she has been sought after since childhood.

It's safe to say that few male wizards of similar age wouldn't become infatuated with her after meeting her.

Every year, she receives enough love letters to fill a whole box.

In terms of strength, since she was chosen as a warrior of Beauxbatons, she is naturally the most outstanding wizard in Beauxbatons at present.

Therefore, there are very few male wizards she can find acceptable.

This is why, even though she's in seventh grade and has so many suitors, she's still single.

Jerry Carmen, a handsome, elegant, and legendary wizard, was one of the few she felt was worthy of her.

Although Jerry is a few years younger than her, he doesn't look like a child.

As for Krum, who is also very outstanding, he is quite good, but unfortunately his appearance is not quite a good match for hers. Therefore, she has never had the opportunity to get to know Jerry. That's why she took the initiative to greet Jerry as soon as she entered the room.
