Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 583 The First Competition Event (First Update)

"Hello, Jerry Carmen!"

However, faced with Hibiscus's initiative, Jerry simply shook her hand politely and replied with a word before continuing to sip his black tea, showing no intention of getting to know her better.

This surprised the proud Furong, who then walked away angrily to the other side.

She had feelings for Jerry, but she was also very proud and didn't think she was inferior to him. She believed that since she had taken the initiative, he should take the initiative even more.

Jerry, however, continued to leisurely sip his tea. He wasn't playing hard to get; he genuinely didn't want anything to happen between him and Hibiscus, so he made his stance clear from the start.

On one hand, it was because of Hermione, and on the other hand, it was because he knew that Fleur was Ron's future sister-in-law.

If this really gives the other party any ideas, it will cause a lot of trouble later.

According to his view on love, if he has no feelings for someone of the opposite sex who is attracted to him, he should let the other person know this as soon as possible. Otherwise, keeping the other person hanging on without being together is really a bad thing.

However, this method is not always effective.

For example, Miss Daphne, who was in the same grade.

Fortunately, his wizard's shielding spell was very effective, preventing him from falling into various awkward situations.

Shortly after Fleur entered the room, Jerry heard Snape outside instructing the prefects to lead the students from the four houses back to their dormitories.

Then, about five minutes later, Headmaster Snape, Vice-Headmaster McGonagall, and five referees including Dumbledore also came into the small room.

Seeing this, Jerry also got up from the chair in the room and stood with Fleur and Krum, who had also gotten up.

First, the three headmasters each offered a few words of encouragement, and then Dumbledore spoke:

"Alright, now our two directors will guide the three warriors through the first project, since only you know the specifics of this year's Triwizard Tournament."

Although the Triwizard Tournament is a competition held by three schools together, in order to ensure fairness, the specific details of the competition are all handled by the Ministry of Magic.

This is why the Director of the Ministry of Magic serves as the referee.

So, apart from Ludo and Barty, the three headmasters and Dumbledore, like the students, did not know what the first project was specifically about.

"Mr. Crouch, you may speak!"

Ludo wisely stepped back.

Batistuta nodded and stepped forward:

"My three warriors, I will now guide you through your first project."

So he began to speak in a very formal and methodical manner.

"The first project is to test your courage, so we're not going to tell you what it is. Daring to face the unknown is an important quality of a wizard... extremely important..."

What I can tell you is that the first project will begin on November 24th. What you will face is extremely dangerous; one wrong move and you could lose your life.

"You may not bring any magical items other than your own wands, nor may you ask anyone for help; you must complete this task independently."

After a barrage of threats and intimidation, he noticed that Krum and Fleur both had very serious expressions on their faces, while Jerry seemed to be somewhat distracted!

However, as the Director of the Department of International Exchange and Cooperation, he did know something about Jerry, regardless of whether the rumors from a year ago were true or false.

Two months ago, Jerry used a spell to rescue more than a dozen Muggles from a group of people suspected to be Death Eaters, and this is indeed a documented fact.

Furthermore, he was certain that Jerry's guardian deity was a giant.

"I have good news for you. Because the three-way competition is quite long, to relieve your stress, the three of you will not need to take any exams this year."

Hibiscus and Krum's eyes lit up at the news, while Jerry seemed to be lost in thought.

It wasn't that he did it on purpose, but while drinking the red tea, he suddenly had an insight into a certain law and was now concentrating all his energy on deducing it, so he naturally appeared to be a little distracted.

After quickly giving instructions on the competition, Barty didn't linger and went to borrow Hogwarts' fireplace from Snape to return to the Ministry of Magic.

"Barty, at least stay for a drink before you leave, okay?"

Dumbledore tried to persuade him to stay.

Barty shook his head upon hearing this:

"I'm sorry, Dumbledore, it really won't work. The ministry is still very busy right now, although I've put young Mr. Percy Weasley in charge temporarily... He's very enthusiastic... to be honest, a little too enthusiastic."

At this point, Buddy glanced at Jerry with a slightly resentful look.

"We have to thank our Mr. Carmen for inventing the portal magic, which allows our ministry to now exchange and cooperate with magic ministry personnel from more than a hundred countries."

Originally, the International Cooperation and Exchange Division didn't have this much work to do; it was considered a relatively relaxed department within the Ministry of Magic.

However, they've been extremely busy lately because of Jerry's teleportation magic.

Because portal magic allows unrestricted access to all countries on Earth, and Jerry is a British wizard, many magic ministry personnel from various countries voluntarily gathered at the British Ministry of Magic for the sake of future security and trade.

They need to discuss how to formulate relevant laws, how to restrict illegal dark wizards from using portals at will, and how to legally use portals to facilitate cooperation and communication among wizards worldwide, etc.

As the only wizard in the entire Ministry of Magic who is fluent in all languages, without him, it would be impossible to continue some of the planned work.

That's why he was in such a hurry to get back to the department after finishing the project here.

Despite Buddy's resentful gaze, Jerry was still lost in thought.

Krum and Fleur, who were standing next to him, looked at Jerry with some surprise.

The two initially thought that while Jerry's invention of the portal magic was impressive, they didn't really think it was that amazing. After all, it was just the invention of one spell; countless wizards invent countless new spells every day throughout the wizarding world.

Besides, they had been at school the whole time and hadn't noticed any changes.

Only now did they realize that a spell invented by Jerry had actually affected the Ministry of Magic, and indeed all the Ministries of Magic in the world.

After Barty left, Dumbledore, along with the remaining headmasters and referees, went to the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade for drinks, while Krum and Fleur returned to their respective Ghost Ship and Runecargo Carriage.

Only Jerry, still trying to comprehend the laws, used his last bit of spirit to lead him back to the Slytherin dormitory.
