I have to say that the wizards are indeed very convenient in building buildings. While Mike was sitting on the throne, the staff had restored the arena to its original state, which also meant that the next game was about to begin.

Mike also turned his attention from the Giant Eagle to the field. The next game was Cedric's game. As the most powerful contender for the championship, Mike had to watch his game.

Cedric's opponent is a Slytherin player named Silpa, who can be considered an inspirational figure.

In fact, he is very similar to Professor Snape. They are both mixed-blood, their fathers are both Muggles, and they both have a tendency of domestic violence after marriage.

The difference was that Snape's mother, Eileen Prince, who came from a family of potion masters, chose to endure and persevere, while Silpa's mother chose to resist.

After Silpa's mother got rid of the man who would beat her when she was drunk, she brought little Silpa back to the family and was accepted by the family.

But because she married a Muggle and gave birth to Silpa, a half-blood, both mother and son were regarded as a shame to the family. Although the family accepted them, their lives were also very difficult.

Especially little Silpa, who grew up surrounded by endless bullying from his peers.

This harsh environment not only did not make Silpa go astray, but instead inspired his rebellious psychology. He vowed to become a big shot and make those who looked down on him pay the price.

So he began to study the magic spell day and night.

Silpa is not a genius, his talent can only be said to be average, but hard work can make up for his shortcomings. He relied on his hard work to become one of the top people in Hogwarts, while many people with better talents than him are far less powerful.

Not as strong as him.

This proves that many people don't work hard enough to compete for their talent.

But even though Silpa works hard and is very strong, that's all.

Without the support of the family's resources, he would be no match for Cedric.

Cedric's transformation technique was not only used for defense. Silpa only lasted ten minutes when Cedric summoned a large number of jackals, tigers and leopards to attack him.

Silpa was deeply influenced by Snape's ideas and surrendered very decisively when she saw that there was nothing she could do.

Facing his failed student, Snape looked a little ugly but didn't say anything. After all, the difference in strength was too big.

The throne next to Mike finally had its own owner. Just like when Mike sat on it, when Cedric sat on the throne, a huge British badger made of yellow light also rose into the air and walked through the air.

, and finally stopped at the top of the Hufflepuff Stand.

Compared to Mike's Fire Feast and Cedric's Beast Frenzy, the next two games are a bit boring.

There is no suspense in Slytherin's civil war at all. The Slytherin player who is playing against Willy, the seed player of Slytherin, has replaced Percy in the quarterfinals. There is no chance of winning against Willy. Just a face-to-face meeting will suffice.

Defeated by Willy with a powerful bone-shattering curse.

The Gryffindor civil war was a bit interesting. Bruno, the student body president and Gryffindor seed player, actually fell into a disadvantage in the competition with his opponent. Seeing this, Professor McGonagall on the edge of the field turned black.

You must know that he, the seed player, was selected by Professor McGonagall. If Bruno loses to a player from the same school in the competition, it will show to everyone at Hogwarts that Professor McGonagall does not know people well.

There are even remarks like "Bruno may have paid Professor McGonagall a bribe to become a seed player".

This will deal a big blow to Professor McGonagall, who has always been upright.

Fortunately, Bruno did not disappoint Professor McGonagall in the end, nor did he give those with ulterior motives a chance. After a hard battle, he finally defeated his opponent.

At this point, all the semi-finalists of the first Hogwarts Duel Competition have appeared, and the semi-finals are all made up of seeded players from the four major colleges. This also proves to everyone that the deans have a vicious vision.

The golden lion and the green python also appeared in the amphitheater. Representative creatures from the four major colleges each occupied a corner of the arena, watching the other three giant beasts warily.

"Okay everyone! Now our top four have all been born!" Lockhart was so excited that his voice was hoarse. "But there is one most important thing we haven't done today, which is to draw lots for the semi-finals! Yes.

Invite our most respected headmaster, Dumbledore!"

As soon as these words came out, the little wizards who were already preparing to leave sat back in their seats. Mike on the high platform was also a little surprised.

But when he thought about it carefully, he understood Lockhart's purpose of doing this.

Lockhart did indeed cheat in the last draw ceremony. If the eighth place reaches the fourth place and the entire academy is wiped out, it will definitely affect the influence of the semi-finals.

But this kind of cheating has also greatly reduced the credibility of the organizers of the duel competition. After all, everyone is not a fool. Everyone can see what Lockhart is thinking. Now everyone is wondering whether Lockhart will draw lots in the semi-finals.

Also do some little tricks.

Faced with this situation, Lockhart directly invited Dumbledore, which was undoubtedly a good move.

The students at Hogwarts don't trust him Lockhart, don't they still trust their headmaster Dumbledore?

Under everyone's gaze, Dumbledore in the stands put his hand on Fawkes, the phoenix. The next moment, with a flash of fire, Dumbledore appeared in the suspended attic.

Several good-looking female staff members brought a brand new lottery box to Dumbledore.

Lockhart simply did not allow any contestants to participate in the draw this time, choosing to let Dumbledore complete all the draws alone.

As Dumbledore put his hand into the lottery box, Bruno on the high platform was already sweating nervously. He knew his strength well, and he was lucky to advance to the semi-finals today. If he wanted to go further,

In the finals, you must not encounter these two monsters, Cedric and Mike.

However, Bruno is obviously not the chosen one.

"The first game of the semi-finals, Mike versus Willy!" Dumbledore's old voice spread throughout the arena, "The second game of the semi-finals, Cedric versus Bruno!"

The moment the lottery results were announced, the four beasts above the amphitheater roared, the giant eagle versus the giant python, the giant lion against the giant badger. The giant beasts representing the four major colleges all found their opponents and tore them apart.
Chapter completed!
