Chapter 133 Hermione Clears the Game! Luna's Unique Choice

"roar!!!"

With a low, terrifying roar, Hermione felt a weight on his body.

"Hmm!"

She struggled to turn over and met three pairs of orange-yellow eyes.

He was looking down at her greedily and with amusement, like a cat that had caught its prey and was thinking about how to torture it.

For some reason, Hermione saw a resemblance to Ethan in him.

No way! What time is it? You're still thinking about Ethan!

Hermione shook her head vigorously and tried to lift her wand, but found that she couldn't move her hand at all!

The three-headed monster pinned her firmly to the ground with just one front paw, rendering her unable to move.

A string of saliva dripped down, sticking to her clothes.

Watching the sharp dental prosthesis in front of me slowly zoom in.

At this moment, even Hermione, who was incredibly brave and had faced trolls before, was no match for them.

My mind went completely blank.

My body is stiff, my hands and feet are cold, and I can't move.

No, no, please. "Okay, time's up."

A clear, melodious voice, like a spring, rang out.

It is so gentle and so peaceful.

It's out of place with the current atmosphere.

however.

It's like pressing the pause button.

Cerberus abruptly stopped, a hint of regret in its eyes.

Then, perhaps the departure was a little slow.

The three-headed dog's head was hit on the side without any politeness.

Only then did it resolutely remove its claws from Hermione.

The darkness that had been blocking the view above dissipated.

As the light returned, Hermione squinted.

In her field of vision, a figure leaned down and reached out a hand towards her, backlit by the light.

A handsome boy with curly black hair and a pale face.

Her eyes curved upwards like stars slowly turning in the night sky.

Clear and deep cobalt blue eyes.

laughed:

"Hermione, congratulations on passing the test."

"To become the second member of the Enlightenment Society."

+

Bang the ground.

Hermione felt her cheeks burning hot, like a boiling kettle.

An indescribable joy swelled within her, even bringing tears to her eyes.

Finally, finally!

Her efforts paid off; she proved herself!

Even though she came from a Muggle family who had never been exposed to magic, she was in no way inferior to anyone!

Hermione sniffed and reached out to take Ethan's hand.

He stood up, grinned broadly, and said loudly:

"Thank you, Ethan!"

Even now, the little girl was covered in dirt.

Even that couldn't hide the dazzling radiance emanating from her face.

You have gained a loyal follower with your superb skills!

The spread of the "Lamp" doctrine is increasing!

The progress of the painting "Hatching from the Shell" has increased by 2%!

[15%→17%]

[When the progress bar is full, a powerful boost will be generated.]

Seeing the system notification, Ethan smiled with satisfaction.

"Completely cleaned up."

Ethan gracefully waved his wand, and an invisible stream of water enveloped Hermione from bottom to top.

It washed away the dirt and the sticky drool from the three-headed dog.

"Thank you..."

Hermione whispered.

Ethan: "Haha, I didn't do anything. You got here on your own merit."

Now, the little girl buried her head even deeper.

Her still messy brown curly hair hung down, obscuring her face.

Ethan didn't notice these small details.

He hummed a cheerful tune as he opened the portal.

He waved his wand and lifted Harry, who was sitting on the ground in a daze.

Together with Hermione and Cerberus, they passed through the portal and arrived at the starting point.

Hali breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so great that we don't have to travel 360 miles back the same way anymore.

The portal is absolutely the greatest invention of this century!

At this moment, Hermione, immersed in joy, suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said:

"Ethan! I destroyed quite a few buildings along the way... um...."

Seeing the little girl's troubled expression, Ethan laughed heartily:

"It's alright, don't worry."

"I had already engraved the words 'Restored to its original state' inside this building, which can be restored repeatedly."

"If you look closely, you'll find similar spells on the plates in the Hogwarts Great Hall."

"Otherwise, the little wizards would probably break twenty plates a day."

Hermione paused, then exclaimed, "Oh yeah! I've seen that spell before!"

I had read it before, and even memorized it.

But I never thought that it could be integrated and applied in practice.

Hermione felt a little ashamed.

Like an apprentice facing a master, he couldn't keep up with Ethan's train of thought.

Fortunately, Ethan didn't seem to mind.

Ethan: "Well then, congratulations on the completion of the first group's assessment! The selected candidate is Miss Hermione Granger from Gryffindor."

The eliminated wizards sat on the ground, their bodies covered in grime, while some lay still upright on the ground.

They all applauded with envy and admiration.

That's amazing!

And he's only in second grade.

I'm afraid there's no way any wizard younger than Hermione could pass the test. Hmph~

Hermione raised her chin shyly and proudly.

Now she can say to others that she is a member of Hogwarts' great talent development program!

At this time.

Amidst the commotion, Hermione spotted Luna standing apart from the crowd.

Compared to other students who started to band together and discuss strategies.

This girl with long, light blonde hair always had a dreamy, dazed expression.

She was tilting her little face up, looking towards the sky.

Ok?

What is she looking at?

Hermione wondered.

Following Luna's gaze, I looked up...

Within sight, apart from the outer walls of the ancient city and the protruding small platform, there was nothing else.

Hermione frowned.

Unable to resist, I stepped forward and instructed them:

"You're in the second group, right? The second group is about to go on stage."

"Instead of wasting your time standing here, I think you should go and discuss solutions with your classmates."

Luna listened patiently as Hermione finished speaking.

Then bring your finger up to your lips:

"Shh one"

Her bright, clear blue eyes were fixed on the outside of the ancient city, and she smiled softly, saying:

"You'll scare those little elves."

"They love to relay messages; they're telling us the words written down by our predecessors."

Hermione's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

I can't understand it at all.

What little elves, what words from our predecessors.

That's utter nonsense.

Seeing that Luna wouldn't listen to her, Hermione turned and left.

I thought:

I thought that because he often hung out with Ethan, he must be some kind of amazing person.

As a result, the sensory nerves were not functioning properly.

He's not a threat at all... not to mention he's just a first-year wizard.

Even though I learned some spells beforehand.

It is also impossible to pass the test without the help of others.

Thinking of this.

Hermione couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

In the end, only I can keep up with Ethan's pace!

the other side.

Ethan didn't see the little argument that was going on between the two of them.

Like a kind old father, he handed out bottles of green invigorating potions that could restore physical strength and spirit.

Distributed to those who were not selected.

My heart is bleeding.

Although it was generously sponsored by Malfoy, it's still our asset!

We're all buddies, why distinguish between yours and mine?

When will I be able to amass a fortune and have as much of anything I want that I can buy with money?

Ethan smacked his lips, waking up from his sweet dream.

Turn around, ready for the second group to begin the assessment.

At that moment, Ethan also saw Luna standing alone to the side.

But he didn't have any thoughts or feel any anxiety.

Just as Luna would unconditionally believe that he would win the championship in a highly competitive tournament.

at this time.

Ethan also believed that Luna would definitely pass the test.

"Alright, second group, get ready!"

Ethan raised his wand and watched as the second group of students hurriedly stood on the starting line.

Only Luna walked over calmly.

When Luna met Ethan's gaze, she slightly curved her eyes into a smile.

Then, he took off his black cloak and held it in his hand.

Seeing her strange behavior, the people around her quickly moved away.

Do whatever you want, but don't involve them.

"Second group, ready! One, three, two, one, go!"

"Bang!"

A burst of sparks erupted from the tip of Ethan's wand.

Instantly.

Several spells flew out simultaneously, and the students sprinted forward!

"Obstacles are numerous!"

"They'll all be petrified!"

"With feet like the wind!"

Some people worked together seamlessly, with one person casting a speed-boosting spell on themselves and their teammates, while the other threw a series of obstacles behind them.

Ethan nodded.

Indeed, humans are a species capable of thinking and of making rapid progress in times of crisis.

This is not.

They started to coordinate well in just the second group.

however.

Among them, there was one figure that stood out from the crowd!

Just like Cedric before her, Luna didn't run away, but stayed where she was!

"Is she insane?!"

Hermione blurted out:

"Cerberus is invincible! Hasn't she learned anything from the last round?!"

She anxiously raised her wand, wanting to come to her rescue.

However, Luna had no intention of confronting Cerberus.

She quickly and crisply chanted a spell, then swiftly tossed her cloak upwards!

next moment.

The cloak stretched out, transforming into a long rope that, under the control of the wand, wrapped around the outside of the castle, protruding from the wall on the platform!

Everyone was stunned, and Hermione's eyes widened as well.

Everyone had only one thought in their mind: What exactly is she trying to do?!

Only Ethan's eyes lit up when he saw this.

As expected of Luna, what a clever plan!
