Chapter 18 New Rules

In the evening, Brian came to that room again, and the warriors of Boothbaton were already waiting there. The flames in the fireplace made the surroundings warm.

Ms. Maxim stood by the fire and cast a huge shadow on the ground.

Furong shook her long silver hair and smiled and said, "Brian Foley? Are you in the fourth grade? And Harry Potter too." The two girls beside her also looked at Brian with interest.

"Yes, I'm glad to be a competitor with you." Brian smiled.

"It's amazing to be able to bypass the age line set by Dumbledore." Furong smiled at him.

At this time, Kakarov led three warriors in. Kakarov's expression was very smelly, and he obviously didn't like the other two warriors very much. Wiktor Krum was still listless and seemed to be not interested in anything.

Then Cedric walked in, followed by Harry, who came to Bryan and nodded to each other.

Harry was not very good at spirit. Compared to Brian, who had always shown excellent talents, he was obviously questioned more, and even Ron and the others were not on his side this time.

Furong's eyes swept lightly over Harry, then looked at Cedric and Crum with a burning look, treating them as their biggest competitors.

The sound of messy footsteps came from outside the door, and a group of people walked in. Dumbledore looked calm, Bagman jumped and his expression was very excited. Then came Mr. Crouch and Hogwarts professors.

However, Hagrid was exaggerating. He was wearing a furry brown suit with a plaid tie, his hair was combed into two balsamic bunches, with a lot of lubricating oil and other things on it, and a pungent cologne perfume smell on his body.

Brian heard Harry moaning in slightest sense, and Ms. Maxim frowned in disgust and turned her head aside.

"Good evening, my dear warriors!" After the judges and professors arrived, Bagman jumped out, "We discussed it all night last night, of course, today we discussed it for a long time, and finally decided on the next event!"

"As we all know, the Trio Championship has always been a stage of personal heroism. The Warriors compete on behalf of their respective schools and win honors for the school." Bagman said, "But this time the Goblet of Fire gave us an unexpected surprise, yes, I think it was a surprise! It reveals another possibility for us!"

Bagman continued: "We know that in the past, there was only one Warrior in each school. Now, it doesn't reflect the overall strength of each school. And this time, the Goblet of Fire still fairly chose three Warriors for each school. I have to say that this is fairer to some extent!"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, Ms. Maxim picked up her shoulders, Kakarov's nose wings fluttered, obviously suppressing his anger.

"Team match!" Ludo Bagman announced with a bright smile, "Yes, you are the best students in every school. In this triple tournament, the three Warriors in each school will participate as a team! This may change the rules of the future championship."

The warriors looked at each other and frowned. Brian blinked, looking very interesting.

"This means that you must not only exert your own strength, but also take into account the team's cooperation and complete three projects together. We will rate them based on your overall performance and results of the game." Bagman said with a smile, "Of course, if you think you are strong enough, you can show your bravery regardless of your teammates. But..."

"What I want to say is that because this time it will be a three-person competition, the difficulty of each of your events will become...a little bit greater..." Bagman smiled so sly with his little finger.

"Of course, there is a small rule..." Bagman's smile became stronger, "On the basis of collaborating through each project, we should also express ourselves to the fullest!"

"We add a small reward of 1,000 Gallons to the winning group." Bagman said happily, "A enthusiastic crowd who did not want to be named sponsored 1,000 Gallons for this triple-triple tournament, so the winning group will receive a total of 2,000 Gallons..."

Bagman blinked at Brian mysteriously, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch.

"However, I said before, show yourself to your heart's content." Bagman's smile became even stronger. "We decided to give another overall score to the three Warriors in the winning group. The Warrior who performed the most will receive a bonus of 1,000 Gallons, and the remaining two Warriors, unfortunately, you can only share the remaining 1,000 Gallons evenly!"

Brian narrowed his eyes and felt the strong malice of this triple competition.

The difficulty of the game increases, and the Warriors must cooperate to pass the level. In the end, the best performing Warriors must be selected in the victory group, which makes everyone have to find a way to show it. But in the game, this may be the seed of contradictions, allowing the three Warriors in the same group to maintain a cooperative and competitive relationship.

Sure enough, as Bagman finished speaking, the three warriors from each school looked at each other, and their expressions seemed eager to try.

"Do you have to win cooperation and compete with each other?" Brian laughed, "The good situation is to unite and work together, and the bad situation is to lead two pitfalls..." He has to be said, and he became a little excited.

"Very good, the rules have been announced. Do you have any opinions?" Bagman said with a smile.

Ms. Maxim nodded first and said, "I have no objection."

Kakarov opened his mouth and glanced at a man beside Krum with a face, saying, "I have no objection."

Dumbledore nodded, "Interesting rules."

"Since everyone has no objection, then it's decided!" Bagman smiled even brighter, "Okay, next is the Warriors' coach, right? Batty, let's talk about it."

Mr. Crouch stepped forward a few steps and walked into the range of the fire. He looked a little haggard, with a deep shadow under his eyes, but he was still dressed meticulously, straightened his waist and stiff.

He said, "The first project is to test your courage, so you won't know what that is in advance. Being brave enough to face unknown things is an important quality of a wizard."

"The first event will be held on November 24th, in front of other classmates and referee teams." Mr. Crouch said without ups and downs, "When completing the event, the Warriors are not allowed to request or accept help from other teachers. When facing the first round of challenges, the only weapon in your hands is your wand."

"Of course, because this is a team match, the difficulty of the game has increased a lot. You will get twenty minutes of discussion before playing, and use it to formulate your tactics... You must not ask for help from others."

"You will only learn about the second event after the first event. Because the competition is very demanding and lasting for a long time, the Warriors will not take the school year exam."

After saying that, Mr. Crouch turned to look at Dumbledore and said, "I think that's all, Albus?"

"Yes," Dumbledore said, "look forward to your outstanding performance."

Soon, the people in the room left one by one, and Brian said to the other two warriors: "So, if you have time, get together?"

"Of course, I think, how about 7pm next Tuesday?" Cedric nodded, "Find an empty classroom, I think, which empty classroom at the end of the corridor on the far right of the third floor?"

"Yes." Brian agreed. Harry nodded.

They each separated.

Harry seemed very depressed, and he knew he was going to be the one who was dragging him down. Cedric was a seventh-grade student. He had seen Bryan's strength at the end of last semester, and how could he have a few useful spells? He might not be able to help at all, maybe he should be hiding in the corner honestly.

Harry thought forgiving himself, but he was very unwilling to accept it. But what could he do? Ron was still complaining about him, but he didn't know that he would rather give this place to Ron, if possible.

Maybe he should ask Hermione, she has always known everything and is a true master of everything.

Harry sighed, feeling very tired.
