The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Chapter 507 Leaving Beauxbatons

As Scott made his choice, the writing on the parchment slowly faded, and then two new lines of writing appeared.

[Selection complete.]

Virtual Alchemy Experiment Station, activated!

Click click...

With the sound of machinery turning, the huge experimental table in front of Scott instantly split into several pieces, twisting like a Rubik's Cube.

Soon, the experimental table was reassembled and reappeared before his eyes.

Scott discovered that the surface of the experimental table had been drastically changed.

The original reddish-brown tabletop has turned pure black, and the utensils and stone slabs that were placed on it are gone.

[Please select an alchemy array]

A message appeared on the black surface.

Scott ran his finger across the table, selecting one from the dazzling array of alchemical arrays.

As soon as he made his selection, the alchemical array instantly expanded, moved to the very center of the platform, and began to slowly rotate.

[Please select alchemy materials]

Scott then selected a few more items from the wide range of materials available.

Soon, the materials he had selected appeared directly on the table.

Scott tried to reach out and touch the material, only to find that it was just a phantom.

It's like a holographic projection.

"I see."

Scott now knew what the so-called virtual alchemy experiments were all about.

Following the instructions, he used his fingers to move the materials onto the tabletop into the alchemy array.

Then, I started setting the temperature of the virtual flame as prompted.

The alchemical experiments began immediately.

After several trials, Scott was delighted to discover that the clue on the parchment was not lying.

The virtual alchemy testing platform can indeed simulate most alchemical reactions with 100% accuracy, and can also accelerate the reaction process.

This made Scott extremely envious.

If I had such an experimental table, I could save a lot of materials and time when practicing alchemy.

Unlike the fake Philosopher's Stone, Scott was already tempted to take the experimental table in front of him home!

The feeling of freely using all sorts of precious materials and recklessly verifying all kinds of conjectures is just... amazing!

Unfortunately, he cannot do that.

The very rational Scott sighed.

Since we can't have it, let's make the most of this time we have!

Scott quickly cleared his mind of distractions and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his alchemical experiments.

Until a clear bell rang.

Scott glanced at his watch; two hours had passed.

"The last warrior has completed the challenge," Professor Rosell's voice rang out. "Come out, all of you."

The door to the alchemy laboratory opened.

Scott reluctantly left the alchemy lab bench and walked out of the laboratory.

He noticed two more doors on one side of the wall, and Fleur and Krum came out of them.

Seeing the two doors with identical signs that read "[Flame Alchemy Laboratory]", Scott was certain he had been tricked.

He didn't enter the real [Lemay Laboratory] at all.

In the living room, Professor Russell had already stood up from the sofa.

"Come with me."

He turned and walked to the other side, reaching out to pull back the heavy curtains.

Behind the curtains was an elevator.

"test……"

A mechanical female voice rang out.

A portrait of Professor Russell was outlined on the metal door of the blue-lit elevator.

"Auguste Russell".

"Identity confirmed."

"Approved."

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Professor Russell stepped inside.

Scott and his two companions followed him into the elevator.

"It's starting to rise."

The elevator started moving, but soon stopped again.

As the door opened, Scott found that they had returned to the lobby of the Alchemy Museum where the audience was.

They were greeted with deafening applause and cheers.

Scott waved toward the location of the Hogwarts delegation.

"Let us welcome our three warriors! And Professor Rosell, our facilitator for this round of the competition!"

Mr. Jolly's voice sounded a little hoarse, but he kept shouting.

"This round of matches is now over!"

"Now, here comes the most exciting part!"

"The five members of the referee panel, including myself, will score the performance of the three warriors in this round of the competition!"

"After the scoring is complete, the champion of this three-way battle will soon be determined!"

"Not only will the champion bring honor to their school, but they will also receive a cash prize of up to one thousand Galleons!"

As Qiao Lixian shouted passionately, the cheers from the audience immediately rose to another level.

After quite a while, the scoring process officially began.

"First, we will score the last warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"She is Fleur Delacour, a warrior from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

As Mr. Jolly explained, he was the first to raise his wand.

A huge number [8] rises.

Next up is Mr. Lefebühler.

He also gave it 8 points.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Maxim gave it a score of 8.

Professor Hartman gave it a score of 7.

Dumbledore gave it an 8.

Mr. Jolly announced loudly, "Miss Delacour's score for this round is 39 points!"

On the leaderboard, Furong's total score has increased to 128 points, temporarily putting her in first place.

"Next, let's score the second warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"He is none other than Viktor Krum, the warrior from Durmstrang School of Magic!"

Mr. Jolly gave Krum a score of 9.

Mr. Lefebler also gets 9 points.

Mrs. Maxim glanced at Professor Hartmann and gave him a score of 7, which drew boos from the Durmstrang delegation.

Dumbledore raised his wand and revealed the number [9].

Finally, Professor Hartmann gave it a perfect score of 10.

Of course, he was met with a chorus of boos from the audience.

"Mr. Krum's score for this round: 44 points!"

The standings have changed again. Krum's total points have reached 129, surpassing Furong by one point to temporarily take the lead.

"Oh……"

The students of Beauxbatons all sighed in frustration.

"Next, we will score the first warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"He is Scott Troop, the hero from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Mr. Jolly gave Scott a perfect score of 10.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lefebvre, Mrs. Maxim, and Dumbledore all gave it a score of 10.

Only Professor Hartman hasn't given his score yet.

He raised his wand, seemingly hesitant.

Just then, a unified shout came from the audience.

"10 points!"

"champion!"
