Hogwarts: Starting as a Card Maker from a Failed Art Student

Chapter 295, Second Boss Appears! The Giant Squid—Kraken!!!

Chapter 296: The Second Boss Appears! The Giant Squid—Kraken!!!

"Oops! Too many people!"

Neville exclaimed.

His eyes widened, and a grim expression appeared on his face.

In the stands.

The students murmured in confusion, "What is he doing?"

"Oh my god, half of the other teams have already left!"

"Hurry up! Use the Reveal Charm or the Freeze Charm—huh?!"

Sudden.

A gasp of surprise!

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a sudden burst of green!

Huge vines burst forth from the earth!

It spread into the lake at an unbelievable speed!

Mutant Devil Vine!

Neville: "Quick, quick, grab the leaf! Ahhhhhh!"

—

His shouts, carried away by the rapidly spreading stems, faded into the distance over the lake.

Neville didn't need to say it.

Cedric swiftly grabbed a vine and leaped away with a whoosh!

Luna, too, sat on a thick leaf that had been unfurled for her.

After thanking him, he leisurely moved towards the center of the lake.

A golden staff that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

This is a thick stem formed by countless gnarled vines.

With unstoppable momentum, it leaped over the other two small teams that were struggling to find their way!

In the blink of an eye, it had spread to the middle of the lake!

Krum, Fleur, and the others were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded!

"Merlin, are they using cheat codes?"

One of Durmstrang's warriors murmured, dumbfounded.

A glass bridge is too difficult to walk on? Then don't walk on it!

They crossed the lake directly using the thick and tough stems of the vines!

The time wasted on the shore just now.

We're looking for the most suitable planting site!

"Oh ho."

Not far away.

Ethan looked down at the scene and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"This is such a novel way to pass the level; even I didn't expect it..."

""

"As expected of a member of my Enlightenment Society, a warrior chosen by the Goblet of Fire."

Ethan nodded in approval.

Their gazes fell on Neville, who was screaming in agony as the vines, which were growing wildly due to the excessive use of the growth potion, had been dripped with too much.

Who would have thought of this Gryffindor disgrace who "doesn't know anything"?

How could it possess such great power?

"Magic is not just about casting spells; herbalism, alchemy, potion-making, and even painting can all become unique powers."

Just as one should not categorize people by the symbols of the four colleges.

Even the Gryffindor crybaby might one day wield a sword against evil.

Even Ravenclaw's best students can succumb to the dark forces—this refers to Quirrell.

"Hehe~ Now, everyone's jaws are going to drop."

Ethan's eyes crinkled.

"However, the main event is yet to come."

in the audience.

Even the students at Hogwarts were dumbfounded.

"Blood Mother Hell..."

'

Ron was dumbfounded.

His mouth gaped open, big enough to swallow an orange: "I've never seen a plant that big—it could practically pierce Merlin's floorboards!"

What was originally thought to be a losing situation.

They overtook them in an instant!

Instantly.

Ron looked at Neville on the vine, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It's like your best buddies are already driving Maybachs while you're still pedaling a bicycle.

the other side.

Mandy pushed up her glasses again, looking as if she had expected this: "I knew it!"

"In Ethan's Beacon Society, there are no weaklings."

Even what is universally considered "worthless rock" can shine brightly.

This is the miracle of Ethan Vincent, their leader in Ravenclaw!

After a brief silence.

A stunned cheer erupted from the stands!

"—Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!!"

Commentator Lee Jordan jumped onto the table, his eyes shining brightly!

So excited I was jumping up and down!

Holding the microphone, he looked like he wanted to pounce on her!

"Navie Longbottom used an extraordinary plant to instantly traverse most of Black Lake!"

"As Durmstrang and Beausbatton began their return journey along the winding glass bridge..."

"Hogwarts team has taken the lead!"

"Navie, you're awesome!!!"

Now.

Even Professor McGonagall would no longer reprimand Lee Jordan for his rude language.

Professor Sprout, who taught herbalism, wiped his reddened eyes and said emotionally, "That was a student Ethan discovered. Before him, who could have supported his seemingly far-fetched ideas?"

Even the professor himself initially thought things like "mutation" and "hybridization."

Everyone thought it was very strange and impossible to succeed.

did not expect.

Neville actually made it.

The judges exchanged glances.

They both saw surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.

They all wrote it down on paper.

"I heard that all the champions selected for Hogwarts this year are from Mr. Vincent's club. I think it's called..."

"A guiding light?"

"Rumor has it that they all underwent secret training under Ethan's guidance."

"Now it seems, she does have some skill."

In the middle of the lake.

Neville struggled to emerge from the branches and leaves.

Then, from the distant shore, came a deafening roar of cheers.

He was stunned and stood there.

"Did you hear that? They're all coming for you."

Cedric laughed.

Neville: "Me...?"

Cedric: "Yeah. Who would have thought of using plants to beat the game?"

"Even if I could think of it, it would be impossible to conjure up such a powerful plant."

"This is all thanks to you."

"

'

Neville was stunned.

He has almost never been praised since birth.

When he was a child, his family worried that he might be a Muggle.

Even if he was assigned to Gryffindor, a school known for its courage.

He seems to be an oddball too.

Over time, Neville also came to believe that he was just an incompetent coward.

Until they adopted the mindset of "it's worth a try."

I went to take Ethan's entrance exam.

And was unexpectedly selected.

From then on.

Life is changed.

at this time.

Hearing the boisterous cheers and applause from ahead, Neville felt a lump in his throat and quickly lowered his head.

The redness started from his neck and burned all the way down to his ears.

"I...I will never let Ethan down..."

Neville rubbed his eyes and said hoarsely.

His usually unpredictable gaze revealed an unprecedented firmness.

Turning to Cedric and Luna, she said shyly, "Let's... let's win this match together!"

"Let the other schools see the power of Hogwarts and the Beacon of Enlightenment!"

Cedric grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "That's the power I'm looking for—huh?"

He stopped talking.

He looked down as if sensing something.

The lake surface, which had been calm just moments before, was now visible.

Now, it suddenly begins to surge slowly!

"Boom—!"

It was as if someone was stirring up the lake with a giant spatula.

The waves are rolling.

Gradually, they converged into a huge vortex!

It felt like being in the middle of a storm.

The powerful suction caused one of Beauxbatons' warriors to fall into the lake without warning!

A short scream was heard.

The slender arm that had extended out of the lake suddenly sank.

Swept along by countless undercurrents in the lake.

They vanished in an instant.

Furong's eyes widened, a chill running down her spine: "Quickly, quickly cast a barrier!"

She stared in astonishment at the terrifying, enormous vortex.

A thought surfaced in my mind—

'

"The monster is coming."

Krum said in a deep voice, gripping his wand tightly.

Under the gaze of many.

There was a loud "whoosh".

From within that vortex, a single—

tentacle?

The bottom is grayish-white, and the top is dark.

It can bend and stretch freely, and is flexible and elastic.

It also has round suction cups.

That's right.

It is the tentacles of a squid.

It's just that it's a bit too big.

This single tentacle alone is tens of meters long!

A single suction cup can be almost half the size of a person!

"Boom—!"

Lake water overflowed.

To the astonishment of the warriors.

A colossal monster, as large as a mountain range, slowly rose from the lake.

A giant oval head with yellow eyes whose pupils are indistinguishable.

And then there are those tentacles, like the Doomsday Judge, one after another, countless tentacles coiled around him!

This is the monster giant squid Kraken from the second match!

With a "click".

Rita, the reporter, dropped her stenographer's pen.

however.

At this moment, the female reporter, who was so shocked that she was petrified, could neither hear nor see anything.

Seriously... there can be monsters that are just as thrilling...

Mid-air.

Ethan looked down at the screams and chaos below.

A pleased smile curled at the corners of her lips: "The real show is about to begin!"
