Chapter 231 Grindelwald’s Reward
After Professor Goodman announced the news, Sean didn't know what to think.
His own body was actually a competition item, and the organizer turned into himself to help him win the championship - it was still the dragon language that the two cheated, not even a pretense duel.
Ha——I suddenly felt worthless for the players who were knocked unconscious by me.
The Hungarian Horntail looked up at the sky, let out one last dragon roar, and then returned to the cave.
‘Sean’ waved to the students in the stands who were only in awe and had no time to applaud, and followed him into the cave.
One by one, the dragon walked deep into the cave. Sean looked back and found that Grindelwald had changed back to his original appearance.
"Well done, Sean. The intensity control is very good. That means you have completely understood your new body. You have only mastered the Animagus for just a week. It is really an amazing talent." Grindelwald changed again. It became that look with the hands behind the waist and the head slightly raised.
Sean returned to his human form. He straightened his wrinkled wizard robe and said helplessly: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Don't always act like a little adult. You're only in the second grade, aren't you?" Grindelwald blinked at him, "Even if you don't consider other factors, today's experience is so wonderful that it makes people sing a song. .”
"But other players probably won't find it amazing..." Sean shrugged.
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "I thought they could do more, but in the end, no one even discovered that this fire dragon's thinking mode was different from that of normal fire dragons. In the end, I educated the elites for several years It’s disappointing to be deceived by a disguise spell——”
"Sir, you can't blame them..." Sean originally wanted to say something nice to those unlucky people, but he asked himself, if he was in that situation, he might not be able to do better.
Moreover, it’s not like you didn’t want to give out the reward in the first place…
However, Grindelwald's brows raised higher and higher, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Sean had been getting along with the other party for a while, and he knew that this was a sign that Grindelwald was a little angry.
It's none of my business anyway... Sean shut his mouth obediently and stopped trying to get into trouble.
Grindelwald snorted through his nostrils: "Advancement, recklessness, and even internal strife in danger... I have always admitted that my educational philosophy is very radical. How many friendships can a wizard have in his life that are worth entrusting to him? In the end, the most trustworthy thing is still your own strength.”
He paced slowly on the spot: "So, their competition and their selfishness are all within my expectation. In a sense, this is what I taught them - but I You didn’t teach them stupidity.”
Grindelwald sighed in disappointment and said quietly: "Sean, don't do a job like principal in the future - stupid and reckless children will always make your good mentality that has been resting for decades suddenly turn bad. "
But I am only in the second grade, and I am also one of those stupid and reckless kids you call...
"Okay, now it's time to distribute rewards to the winners," Grindelwald's mood changed like the weather in the Scottish Highlands, and he turned into his amiable look again, "You can go out with the rewards yourself. , I have to go back and think about how to train those little bastards."
Sean looked at the wooden box in confusion. Wasn't there any reward inside? The golden egg was put in by myself, but there was nothing in it.
He walked over and opened the wooden box, picked up the largest golden egg and opened it. As he expected, it was empty inside.
Grindelwald's voice became smaller and smaller as he left: "That's the reward, use your little brain."
Sean looked down at the huge golden egg in his hand. He had to hold it with both hands to get it.
Do you have to sink into the water like the golden egg in the Goblet of Fire to discover the secret? However, there was no extremely harsh scream when I opened it just now...
It's strange... I can only go back and study it slowly. Now I have to go out first...
Sean slowly walked out of the cave with the golden egg in his arms.
As soon as he appeared in the sun, warm applause and cheers came like a tsunami.
The students at Hogwarts were particularly excited. In a competition that was almost equivalent to the school anniversary of the enemy school, a student from their own school won the final victory. This was simply more refreshing than ice-cold pumpkin juice on a hot summer day.
The applause from Nurmengard was not that exciting, but it was also sincere.
Although Sean did not defeat the Fire Dragon head-on, and the Dragon Whisperer took a tricky approach, it was still a display of Sean's strength. You must know that being born with Magus is extremely rare, and Dragon Language Magus is a talent that has not appeared in centuries.
Sean squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and a sense of emptiness suddenly came to his mind: "Weird..."
If only these people knew that Sean Wallop just now was Grindelwald pretending... and that the so-called Dragon Whisperer was just a poor imitation. He just called himself an idiot...
It’s unimaginable...
Sean accepted the cheers and applause calmly. After spending time with Grindelwald for a long time, his face became much thicker.
As he walked out of the field and back into the crowd, the Weasley twins cheered and rushed over to hug him.
"Don't, Fred, George, don't..." Before Sean could finish his words, the Weasley brothers picked him up and threw him high into the sky.
Other Hogwarts students also came forward enthusiastically.
Sean, who was up and down in the air, could only reluctantly accept this way of celebration. Winning the prize as the main subject of the competition seemed to be a weird experience once in a lifetime...
The celebration lasted for a long time. Hermione and Daisy tried to squeeze in and said a few words but had no chance. The students finally surrounded Sean and walked back. Along the way, the golden eggs were touched all over by excited people.
When they reached the entrance of the castle, the crowd suddenly parted a path, and a girl was looking at Sean in the center with curiosity and embarrassment.
She is a pretty girl wearing the uniform of a fifth-grade student in Nurmengard. She has platinum-blonde silky long hair.
Only Sean was confused. He didn't know the girl in front of him at all. Why did the crowd make way for her? Fred and George also acted like "I knew it".
Does that mean what Grindelwald did when he turned into a fire dragon underground?
"Who is she..." Sean bumped into Fred beside him and asked quietly.
"As expected of the magical little prince of Hogwarts, Sean, as expected of you!" Fred exclaimed.
The Magical Little Prince, this was a temporary nickname given to him by the Weasley twins. Sean rejected it thirteen times, but these two bastards have repeated this nickname more than twenty times.
"Wallup," the girl blinked, "it was just an accident. I didn't take good care of Myron. I came here to tell you that you don't need to pay me a new toad." —”
compensation? toad?
The corner of Sean's mouth twitched. What did Grindelwald do when he turned into himself? !
After fooling the girl named Iluka Ultramarin, Sean finally got away from the others and came to the underground training room.
Sure enough, Hermione and Daisy were already waiting inside.
"Hey, today, um, is the weather nice?" Sean panted slightly and said hello while adjusting his wrinkled robe.
The eyes of the two girls in front of them clearly revealed that the Hungarian Horntail was themselves.
"Sean—" Hermione used her usual interrogating tone.
"What's wrong..." Sean tried to pretend to be innocent, but the only way seemed to be to refuse to admit it.
After struggling for a moment, Sean chose to confess and be lenient: "Okay, I said -"
Hiding some details and the secret that Grindelwald can transform, Sean told the two about his help.
"No wonder you didn't participate in the last round... That was the illusion spell that Mr. Grindelwald helped... God, Sean, you are so bold..." Hermione looked amazed.
"Let me tell you, there's something annoying about that Hungarian tree peak, it must be Sean." Little white Daisy raised her head proudly.
"Hey, girl, since you said I'm annoying, I won't praise your sensitivity." Sean flicked Daisy's smooth forehead.
Daisy stuck out her tongue and got behind Hermione with a smile.
"So, just because the prizes are not enough, I need to ask you to cheat? Mr. Grindelwald really, really -" Hermione held it in for a long time, and finally said, "You really do whatever you want..."
"Obviously he is this kind of person, but I still have to pay back the favors I owed him," Sean shrugged and raised the golden egg. "And there is a reward, although it's not clear what it is..."
Hermione and Daisy also gathered around curiously. The three of them opened the golden egg again and again and looked at it carefully, but they still didn't discover the mystery inside.
After that, Sean took the golden egg to the bathroom, but no matter whether he sank the golden egg into the bottom of the water or used the fire spell, the thing didn't change at all.
Sean was almost dazzled, and he didn't notice any writing or symbols on it.
Sean, helpless with the golden egg, could only throw it in the ring and go to the auditorium for today's dinner.
However, since all the students in the school were wiped out and many people were still lying in the infirmary receiving treatment, the atmosphere in the auditorium was not very high.
This situation became a little more serious when the expressionless Grindelwald took the first seat.
"The dinner begins."
He just said these words, and the food on the long table appeared, but in the mouths of the Nurmengard students, the food was not so delicious.
"Oh, Mr. Grindelwald doesn't look happy?" Hermione looked carefully at the teacher's table while cutting the steak.
Grindelwald in the center was talking to Professor Rozier and Professor Goodman.
Sean, who had consumed a lot of energy, was trying his best to maintain an elegant storm while inhaling the food.
"...&*...*%*%¥%"
"What did you say?"
Sean swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "I said, he is really not happy. Obviously, the performance of the Nurmengard students did not meet his expectations."
"But," Hermione looked around quietly and lowered her voice automatically, "Isn't that a trap set by the two of you?"
"That's what I say, but Mr. Grindelwald is very demanding, and-" Sean shrugged, "He has never been a reasonable person."
"But he usually looks like Professor Dumbledore..."
"Well, maybe it just looks like..."
"Why do you say that?"
Hermione's suspicions were soon confirmed.
After the dinner, the students ate a few bites of pudding and cake in a hurry, and the desserts on the table quickly disappeared.
Then, Grindelwald slowly stood up.
His opening remarks made all the Nurmengard students hang their heads.
"Embarrassing, I'm really embarrassed for you."
Grindelwald's voice was filled with regret and anger.
"Look at you, Nurmengard students, look at the badges on your chests, look at the wands in your hands, with this kind of performance, how dare you call yourself an elite?"
"You guys have disappointed me so much." Grindelwald's words were undisguised, straightforward and stinging.
"I don't like to talk nonsense. Every Nurmengard student here listened to me, memorized it, and then conveyed it to the guys lying in the hospital verbatim," he leaned forward slightly. , with stern eyes, "Every choice you make is difficult for me to understand, and every mistake you make is frowning. Everyone must write a paper about the habits and methods of fire dragons. Two feet, the spell mentioned in it is Must be mastered.”
"Then," he stood up straight and looked at everyone, "starting today, I will only have a half-day break on Sunday afternoon every week, and I will study the rest of the time!"
Grindelwald's powerful eyes swept across the entire auditorium, and everyone he saw lowered their heads.
"The dinner is over," he suddenly smiled and looked at the students at Hogwarts, his tone became soft and steady, "Guests who have come from afar are worthy of appreciation. You can choose whether to participate in the tutoring on the rest day, and the winner By--"
He spoke in a longer tone: "Shaun Wallop, your personal score will be increased by fifty, and you will get a classroom that belongs exclusively to you. I authorize you to hold your own magic club. Everyone can apply to join, and admission You set the standards yourself."
“Hopefully we can improve by learning from each other.”
Grindelwald finished his speech and strode out of the auditorium.
The students quietly looked at Sean, who looked confused.
I'm happy to get extra points, but why is there another magic club——
Sean looked towards the direction Grindelwald left, and he could already feel the slightly hot gazes of the people around him.
Now, many students from Nurmengard can come to contact him openly, right?
