The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Partners?

Scott watched the flying horses.

They might also be here to cause trouble.

Perhaps realizing the impact they were having, the three clever horses flew a little further.

As Scott rose on the cube beneath his feet, he soon reached the same height as the spectators sitting in the stands.

"Go Scott! You can do it!"

"You're the best!"

The Hogwarts crowd was shouting in unison as they watched him.

Scott smiled and waved at them again, making a victory sign.

Soon, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students, not to be outdone, also started shouting.

With an overwhelming numerical advantage, the students of Beauxbatons quickly drowned out the others by chanting Fleur's name.

As the altitude increased, those sounds became farther and farther away.

Scott looked up.

"Watch out, you're about to speed up!"

Mr. Jolly, who was taking off with them, shouted loudly.

Scott sensed a magical barrier rising around the edges of the cube beneath his feet, enveloping his entire body and fixing him to the cube.

"This kind of reassuring feeling is only available now!"

Mr. Jolly still didn't forget to speak.

Immediately afterwards, Scott felt a strong push from beneath his feet, and he felt as if he were riding a rocket and rising rapidly.

Before long, they approached the white clouds high in the sky.

Once inside the clouds, Scott lost his sight; all around him was a vast expanse of white, and he could only faintly hear Fleur's screams.

But soon, he passed through the clouds and arrived above the sea of ​​clouds.

The thrust beneath their feet lessened until it stopped, and they arrived at the high-altitude track.

The cubes stopped rising and began to move horizontally, bringing them to their respective tracks.

Chapter 474 Scott Easily Takes First Place

Alright, everyone!

Mr. Jolly spoke loudly into the air.

"We are now at an altitude of over 10,000 meters..."

Scott looked at him with interest, then spread his magical perception to observe the surroundings.

Scott was very curious about how Beauxbatons' "live streaming system" worked.

But for a moment, he did not perceive the existence of the "camera".

Scott then focused his perception on the track ahead.

I didn't notice it when I saw it on the live stream, but now that I'm looking at it up close, the distance between each cube on the track is quite far, about 200 meters.

There are 15 cubes in total, plus the finish line loop, making the entire track approximately 3000 meters long.

Without tools, a distance of 3000 meters would take them several minutes to cover.

However, for the Divine Horse, which can fly and is enormous, this time should be much shorter.

From this perspective, the competition was less difficult than he had imagined.

Normally, what participants need to pay attention to is how to allocate their time reasonably, as they can stay on the Divine Horse for 10 seconds.

With these 10 seconds, combined with a foothold every 200 meters and their respective magical abilities, they can indeed reach the finish line without any unexpected events.

Of course, the three traps hidden among the 15 landing points also need to be considered, as they may affect the game.

Triggering the trap will imprison you for 5 seconds.

Fortunately, the conditions are fair; everyone will face three traps unless someone manages to overcome them.

Scott tried to pinpoint the traps hidden in the cubes, but he couldn't detect anything unusual in the cubes that were closer to him.

"Great, our horses have arrived too!"

With a few neighs, the three divine steeds that they had just left behind broke through the clouds and flew behind them.

"Attention, warriors, the safety measures will be removed soon..."

As soon as Mr. Jolly finished speaking, the magical barrier surrounding Scott's body disappeared.

Scott turned his upper body and reached out his hand directly.

“Pegasus,” he said to the horse, “you can ignore me and fly across the finish line as fast as you can.”

Pegasus blinked his bright red eyes.

Scott wasn't sure if it understood what he meant.

Everyone else looked at him with surprise.

Even Mr. Jolly stopped talking.

"Are you kidding me?" Hibiscus couldn't help but ask.

“I must remind you, Mr. Trolop,” Mr. Jolly added, “Animagus is banned in this round of matches.”

“Flying brooms are also prohibited,” Krum said.

“I know the restrictions of the competition.” Scott pulled out his wand and waved it. “I won’t use any tools except my wand.”

Mr. Jolly smiled and said to him, "It seems you didn't miss anything, so I'm relieved."

He glanced at Fleur and Krum.

"And you too, Miss Delacour and Mr. Krum."

"If you have any questions, ask me now."

"Once the competition begins, everyone on the referee team, including myself who is closest to you, will carefully observe your performance."

"This is the basis for our scoring of you."

Scott and the other two shook their heads, indicating that they had no questions.

"Very good, then the competition is about to officially begin."

Mr. Joley said with great pleasure.

"Now, please, the three warriors, step onto the starting point of the track!"

Scott and his two companions exchanged glances.

At this moment, although the cube beneath their feet was bringing them closer to the track, it was still about 10 meters away from the starting landing point.

This distance is absolutely impossible to reach by standing jump alone without a running start.

That depends on their respective methods this time.

“Mr. Jolly, will it take less than 10 seconds for Chrysaor to take me there now?” Krum asked immediately.

“Oh, no,” Mr. Jolly said, “because the competition hasn’t officially started yet.”

"That's good." Furong smiled.

Just then, Krum took the initiative.

He glanced back at Chrysaor, crouched slightly, and then jumped forward.

Chrysaor hissed and took flight.

It flew right below Krum as he fell.

Krum ran a few steps forward on Chrysaor's broad back, then leaped up again, finally landing steadily on the cube that served as his starting point.

Then, Furong also began to take action.

"Yugadimurleviosa!"

She cast a levitation spell on her robe, and then, using the robe's levitation power, lightly leaped forward.

Unlike Krum, she landed lightly at the starting point without relying on Hippodrine's power.

Hippocrates followed behind her and flew to her side.

At this point, only Scott remained motionless.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Pegasus seemed to grow anxious as well, and hissed.

"Don't worry, Pegasus, the match hasn't started yet." Scott turned to him and smiled reassuringly.

"Yugadimurleviosa".

He waved his wand and, using the same method as Fleur, arrived at the starting point.

"Yugadimurleviosa".

The next second, Krum also cast a levitation spell on his robe.

Perhaps worried that he was too big, he cast several levitation spells on the rest of his clothes.

"I must remind you!"

Furong was clearly unhappy that the two of them had copied her homework.

“It is difficult to control where you land using this method.”

"I've been practicing for a long time ever since I found out the competition would be high in the sky!"

Neither Scott nor Krum made a sound; neither of them seemed worried about not being able to jump accurately to their landing spots on the track.

Seeing that they didn't react, Furong snorted coldly and stopped talking.
