Chapter 440 Which Is the Best House in Hogwarts?
One hundred points? Really?
Not only the contestants were shocked, but also the principals were extremely surprised.
Among a group of contestants who were mostly in their early 90s and generally scored around 70 or 80 points, the number of one hundred points was too eye-catching.
But the shocking thing was still to come. Hogwarts had several contestants who were close to full marks, which made the faces of the principals and contestants of other schools suddenly solemn.
Hogwarts, you are here with bad intentions!
(Hogwarts: You are the ones who are here!)
With so many high-scoring contestants, if it weren't for the previous rule that high-scoring contestants would suffer losses, they would have suspected that Hogwarts had tampered with the scoring.
Rice: It was indeed tampered, and I can be a tainted witness.
"Miss Ekaterina, it's time for you to go up and take the test." After all the contestants from the eight major magic schools had gone through the test, Dumbledore looked at Ekaterina, the vice-president of Kodosdorez Magic School, who was standing behind him, and signaled that since she wanted to participate as a contestant, she had to go up and take the test.
Ekaterina didn't say much, and went straight to the front and put on the Sorting Hat.
She was quite curious about this hat that had been passed down for thousands of years. I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good exchange with the Sorting Hat, but the Sorting Hat didn't bother to pay attention to this outsider, and just shouted loudly: "One hundred points!"
Now, everyone looked at him sideways.
This is the score that only the monster-like student at Hogwarts got! It can only be said that he is worthy of being the vice-president of Kodosdorez.
In the test just now, except for the monsters at Hogwarts, this vice-president scored high. The other contestants scored only a little over 90 points.
Helga, who was sitting on the stage, raised her eyebrows and turned her head to whisper to Rowena.
"Isn't this score too high..."
"I told the Sorting Hat to be more emotionally intelligent and give a few high scores to students from other schools." Rowena smiled, "Otherwise the scene would not be very good. But being able to give 100 points shows that this vice-president is also a bit good."
"Then will she..." Helga began to doubt whether the other party had the power to control the domain.
"Maybe after participating in the competition." Rowena didn't think anyone could awaken the domain in such a modern environment.
If Kodosdoriz had that foundation, why didn't the average score of the elites in the whole school exceed 80 points?
After Ekaterina, it was the turn of the independent contestants.
As soon as they came on stage, everyone immediately realized that the eight major magic schools were still the top in the world, because even Kodosdoriz, who was at the bottom, performed much better than those independent contestants.
Some organizations have very scary names, such as "Heraklion-Patra United School of Magic", which sounds very domineering and has a lot of background, but the contestants were scared when they put on the Sorting Hat.
But the independent contestants are not all rookies. An Indian man with a turban and a black-haired young man in a long gown stood out from the crowd.
When the two people touched the crystal ball, the color of the crystal ball was different. The color of the Indian man was a bit like the color of curry, and the black-haired young man made the crystal ball show a lightning, which attracted a lot of attention.
Both of them scored very high, one was ninety-three and the other was ninety-four. Even if they were placed in the eight major magic schools except Hogwarts, they were among the best masters.
The monks of the Secret Order were still the last to go on stage.
At this time, most people's minds were no longer on this - the whole process had taken more than two hours, and everyone was already at the end of their strength.
As a result, when the Sorting Hat reported the score, everyone was stunned.
"Eighty-eight points!"
"Ninety-one points!"
"Ninety-five points!"
"..."
None of the seven young monks of the Secret Society scored less than eighty-five points, and the highest one even reached ninety-eight points.
"Is this also your instruction?" Helga asked in a low voice.
Rowena shook her head with a solemn expression: the Secret Society was coming aggressively, fortunately she had made two preparations.
Helga and Rowena were still able to remain calm, but it was difficult for the principals of other magic schools to hold back.
What is this organization called the Secret Society? Why are all the students so strong?
Their eyes could not help but drift to Godric Gryffindor who was sitting in his seat calmly, and they had a little understanding in their hearts: it was probably the work of this legendary wizard.
But understanding this point would not help the matter at all. The seven people of the Secret Society were so powerful that they might get a good ranking in the end, which would be too bad.
Just imagine, if a secret order that came out of nowhere sneaked into the final ranking of the eight major magic schools, where would they put their faces?
It would be fine if they ranked higher than the Secret Order, but it would be devastating if they ranked lower than it.
But what else can they do? They have already participated in the competition...
'We can only hope that people from Hogwarts will have a conflict with them! 'The principals thought so, and at the same time, they were going to go back tonight to warn their students.
It would be great if Hogwarts and the Secret Order could both suffer losses.
Looking at the young monks of the Secret Order who scored high, Dumbledore also lowered his eyes.
Even after learning that the Secret Order was an organization run by Gryffindor seniors, he still had a very bad impression of this organization. The reason is also very simple, this organization has tried to invade Hogwarts more than once.
Although at the banquet just now, the Gryffindor seniors explained to him that this was a misunderstanding and that the people below were walking alone. When he heard about it, he immediately stopped this behavior and took advantage of the opportunity to hold the competition. Explain it yourself. But Dumbledore's inner dissatisfaction could not be resolved after all.
The behavior of the Secret Order monks shows that Gryffindor is Gryffindor, the Secret Order is the Secret Order, and the Secret Order and Hogwarts do not even have the slightest kinship left.
More importantly, Dumbledore still had doubts about the identity of Godric in front of him. What was said at the welcome meeting just now was just a temporary decision made for Professor White's sake.
There are too many doubts about this person. Although his explanations for why he could live for thousands of years, why he left Hogwarts to form the Secret Order, and why he had no contact with Hogwarts at all for so long were reasonable, it was still difficult to gain Dumbledore's true trust. .
He felt that he had to have a good chat with Professor White and Professor Arius.
After the monks of the Secret Order also completed the test, the entire auditorium was filled with buzzing sound.
The performance of these monks blinded the eyes of the young wizards and made them extremely shocked: it would be fine if this happened to several other magic schools, but the Secret Order was an organization they had never heard of before!
It wasn't until Dumbledore spoke again that the little wizards became quiet.
"The test for the contestants has been completed, and many rewards prepared by the magic school will be placed in the competition venue starting from today - the purpose of this competition is still to promote the common progress of everyone!"
At this point, Dumbledore's expression suddenly became serious: "But I must warn all contestants before the game begins that the Global Young Wizards Championship is a very dangerous competitive game, and the lives of participating students may even be in danger. Until this time At this moment, you still have the chance to give up.”
Dumbledore's eyes swept over the faces of the players, and their expressions became serious.
Life-threatening? Real or fake?
Rice knew very well that Dumbledore was not lying, because most of the items in this competition were written by Rowena. She is not a kind person. If there is no special preparation for this competition, the casualty rate among the players may be quite alarming.
It might directly become the last competition.
But the players who survive will definitely benefit a lot. Rice can guarantee this.
Although they have said that the competition is very dangerous and their lives may be in danger, no one has come forward to give up - how can they give up when they have reached this point?
"The contestants have the final decision, so if you change your mind, just come to me or Mr. Henry before the start of the competition tomorrow, and you can give up your qualifications without notifying the principal. Everyone is the first person in their own life. One person in charge," Dumbledore said seriously.
The principals behind him had mixed reactions. Some people agreed, some were confident, and some frowned: If a student gives up, it is equivalent to getting zero points, which will have a very negative impact on the school's final ranking.
"Okay, it's getting late, and it's time for everyone to go back to the dormitory to rest. Dear guests from other schools and organizations, Hogwarts has prepared comfortable dormitories for you. Of course, if you want to solve the accommodation problem on your own, We have no objection either.”
Although Hogwarts has prepared dormitories, the other seven magic schools declined Hogwarts's kindness and chose to live in dormitories brought by their own schools.
After all, they are a famous magic school, and it would be too shameful to use someone else's Hogwarts dormitory.
Those who chose to stay in the accommodation arranged by Hogwarts were all independent contestants.
After Dumbledore announced the disbandment, the auditorium became chaotic. The principals stepped down from the staff benches, gathered the students from their schools, and lined up at the entrance of the auditorium waiting to leave.
"Hogwarts has become a lot more lively." Gryffindor's voice sounded in Dumbledore's ears.
"This is the joint efforts of teachers and students of all generations. Rome was not built in a day, and the same goes for Hogwarts." When he mentioned Hogwarts, a rare tenderness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.
He devoted almost everything to this school.
Gryffindor said nothing, and after a few seconds he said to Dumbledore: "Where will we stay tonight?"
The other party's thinking was so fast that Dumbledore almost didn't react.
"Eh? Can I live in Gryffindor Tower?" Gryffindor asked excitedly.
"That won't work. You will be so disturbed by the children that you won't be able to sleep." Dumbledore responded humorously, "We have a really well-prepared dormitory. I'll ask Minerva to take you there."
"Okay." Gryffindor sighed, the expression on his face looked like he was really sorry.
Dumbledore turned to look at Professor McGonagall and winked at her. Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and said to the independent contestants still in the auditorium: "Please follow me."
Although he was speaking to all the independent contestants, Professor McGonagall's eyes kept drifting towards Gryffindor.
That's Godric Gryffindor!
The excited Professor McGonagall led the team out of the side door of the auditorium and moved them to the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor of the castle.
After opening the door, the whole corridor has been renovated and is full of cubicles for accommodation - better than the accommodation for students at Hogwarts, because these cubicles are single rooms, and even have separate toilets and washrooms.
…
After Rice followed the crowd out of the hall, he did not return to the common room, but went straight to Helga's office.
When he arrived at the door of the office, Rice pushed the door and found that the door did not move. After a closer look, he found that the door handle of the office was replaced with a badger head.
Rice: …
It seems that Helga got a lot of new technology from Rowena.
He reached out and scratched the badger's forehead, and the badger's door handle moved and made a gentle voice: "Which one do you think is the best college in Hogwarts?"
Rice:...
"Slytherin College."
"Wrong answer. Hint, the students of this college are very united, so which one is the best college in Hogwarts?"
"Slytherin College."
"Wrong answer." The badger's head seemed to have several blue veins popping out: "I'll ask again, which one is the best college in Hogwarts? Just say its name and I'll let you in. Hint, the symbol of this college is-"
"Slytherin College." Rice answered decisively, and took out his wand at the same time.
"Oh? Do you want to fight me?" Facing Rice's threat, the badger head was not afraid at all, and even a little eager to try.
"The best college in Hogwarts is Hufflepuff College." Just as Rice was preparing a spell to smash this annoying door handle, Helga's voice rang out.
The doorknob cheered, repeated Helga's words loudly, and then bounced the door open.
Les:...
He walked into Helga's office without saying a word, and when Helga closed the door of the office, he said to Helga: "Helga, don't you think this question is childish?"
"Not really." The smile on Helga's face never faded.
"Okay, the small talk is over, it's time to talk business." Rowena interrupted the conversation between the two and took out the resurrection stone ring.
"Don't use that yet." Les interrupted Rowena's next move.
"This is too dangerous, I can't predict what will happen."
"Makes sense." Rowena nodded and put the resurrection stone ring back into her pocket.
"It seems that the three of us have the same idea?" She looked at the two old friends playfully and said lightly.
"Of course." Les and Helga answered in unison.
