Standing on the shore, Hao Yun sighed helplessly.
Why would I participate in such a stupid competition? What's the difference between letting me participate and cheating?
Hao Yun cast a water-repelling spell and jumped into the water.
The three people who entered the water earlier have already swum out of sight.
Hao Yun, who was last to enter the water, calmly and leisurely swam towards the bottom of the lake.
"I wonder who got kidnapped. The only people I'm close to are Fred and George. Am I going to end up rescuing two of them?"
With doubts in his mind, Hao Yun quickened his pace, wanting to see who he was going to save.
Diving into the weedy area, Hao Yun saw a large group of octopus-like creatures not far away, dragging a person down to the bottom of the water.
"Who's so unlucky? It can't be Harry, can it?"
Hao Yun stopped in place and casually cast a spell to dispel the octopus.
The octopus dispersed, leaving behind Hibiscus, who had fallen into a coma.
"It wasn't Harry, tsk tsk!"
Hao Yun was surprised; he thought Harry was surrounded by octopuses.
Swimming to Furong's side, Hao Yun helped her send a distress signal, then turned and swam into the depths of the water plants.
Using his divine sense, Hao Yun quickly located the hostages' location.
Bound to the chains were Ron, Hermione, Fleur's sister, and Fred.
Just as Hao Yun was about to rescue the person, a shark rushed over, seemingly intending to knock him aside.
Hao Yun turned and delivered a side kick, narrowing his eyes.
How dare they cause me trouble? They really aren't afraid of death!
This shark was none other than Viktor. After being kicked away, he didn't linger, but just glared fiercely at Hao Yun before rescuing Hermione and floating to the surface.
Harry arrived late from a short distance away. He gestured to Hao Yun, indicating that they should hurry up and rescue the person.
Hao Yun nodded, then grabbed Fred and floated to the surface.
Overwhelmed with compassion, Harry noticed there was still one person left unrescued, so he decided to rescue them as well.
The mermaid, who had been hiding in the shadows, rushed out at that moment and stopped Harry's foul play.
Chapter 337 The Last Match
Hao Yun, who had just left, saw Harry fighting with the mermaid and being beaten underwater, so he had no choice but to go back to save him.
A bolt of lightning was unleashed, instantly stunning the mermaid. Of course, Harry was also stunned.
Hao Yun scratched his head, feeling like he had gotten himself into trouble.
Grabbing the four men by the collar, Hao Yun began to rise to the surface.
On the high platform surrounding Black Lake, everyone waited anxiously.
Currently, only students from the Demstrom Strong College have completed the second stage.
The hibiscus project in Beauxbatons has been declared a failure.
With the match time about to end, the two Hogwarts contestants still hadn't shown up, making everyone anxious.
With three minutes remaining in the match, the water surface rippled. Hao Yun, riding a flying sword, grabbed four people by the collars and returned to the shore.
"It's a success!"
The spectators began to cheer; this was the second match, but it determined the order of entry for the third match.
The third competition is a maze. The winner of the second competition will enter the maze ahead of time.
Getting in early increases your chances of winning, so everyone is vying for a higher ranking.
Currently, Demold Strong School is ranked first, Hao Yun second, Harry third, and Fleur fourth.
Although Harry was unconscious, he did manage to save him, no matter what.
"Thank you for saving my sister!"
Furong rushed up and gave Hao Yun a hug, and also kissed his cheek.
The people on the platform started to jeer, and the scene became lively.
After the second competition, there will be a celebration party that everyone must attend and invite a dance partner.
As soon as the news was announced, the boys got busy, trying to invite their crushes over, lest they miss their chance if they were too late.
"The competition was really exciting, but unfortunately I was knocked unconscious after I went into the water. I don't know how you saved me."
After the competition ended, Fred, who had indirectly participated in the competition, was extremely excited.
"You're kidding me. Getting caught by the professor and thrown into the Black Lake? What's so exciting about that?"
George snorted in dissatisfaction.
Hao Yun, sitting to the side, rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
These two guys have been arguing about this for a week.
Have you invited dance partners?
Fred and George chuckled and gestured towards a pair of twins not far away.
"It's already been settled, it's just the two of them."
"Sixth grade?"
"yes."
Hao Yun gave a thumbs up. These two guys really know how to have fun, they actually invited an upperclassman.
Who are you planning to invite?
Fred glanced at the note in front of Hao Yun and then looked at the Ravenclaw students.
"I don't know, I haven't decided yet."
In fact, Hao Yun didn't want to attend the dance at all, but he was a warrior and had to participate.
"Let me ask you something: can warriors invite each other?"
George looked at Hibiscus not far away and suddenly had a bold idea.
"It should be fine."
Hao Yun wasn't entirely sure either, since Dean McGonagall hadn't said anything about it.
"That makes things easier."
George wrote a note and suddenly threw it at Hibiscus.
Furong, who was doing her homework, glanced at the note on the table and turned her head to look at it.
George quickly raised his hand, and when he saw Fleur looking over, he pointed to Hao Yun and showed her the note.
Furong opened the note with a puzzled look, glanced at it, and nodded.
"It's done!"
George chuckled and put his arm around Hao Yun as he spoke.
"I've invited Hibiscus for you, now you're her dance partner!"
"Well done!"
Fred laughed heartily. Recently, many people had invited Fleur to be their dance partner, but she hadn't even chosen one yet.
"You two are really something!"
Hao Yun patted George on the shoulder heavily and rolled his eyes.
The ball was held as scheduled, and Hao Yun, who partnered with Fu Rong, successfully attracted a wave of hatred.
Those who had tried to invite Furong but failed looked at Hao Yun from below the stage, wishing they could devour him.
After finishing the first dance of the ball, Hao Yun decisively stepped off the stage, and Fu Rong followed suit.
Are you having trouble adjusting?
In response to Furong's question, Hao Yun smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I'm not quite used to it either. Let's go outside for some fresh air."
The two left the dance floor and stood by the window, looking down at the night view of Hogwarts.
"Look, that frozen bird over there is moving! It's so beautiful!"
Furong pointed to the frozen bird on the tower in the center of Black Lake, a pure smile on her face.
"I think you're really amazing; you managed to create such a beautiful creature."
"well enough."
Hao Yun replied casually.
Don't you like college life?
Furong leaned on the railing, curiously observing Hao Yun. She felt that Hao Yun was out of place in this academy.
"It's alright, maybe I'm just being too dramatic."
Hao Yun smiled slightly. In truth, he didn't feel much belonging to this world; to put it simply, he was filled with confusion.
As an avatar of the original body, Hao Yun often felt that he was not a person.
A clone is ultimately just a clone; once it leaves this world, its mission may end.
"Pretentious?"
This word was new to Furong, and she didn't quite understand its meaning.
The two stood quietly by the window. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Furong couldn't help but shiver.
