Chapter 102 is supposed to be a three-way battle for supremacy, so why are there so many fire dragons...?
The castle has seen an increase in outsiders, adding a new attraction to the castle.
But to outsiders, Hogwarts has even more to offer!
Instead of sleeping early in the morning, some students were shoveling soil and others were cutting down trees. There wasn't a single student in the entire school who was idle. Moreover, the students were very hygienic. Before entering the castle, they would clean themselves up thoroughly, ensuring they entered without a speck of dust.
Durmstrang students' favorite place is the Quidditch pitch, and they are all amazed when they see that all the Quidditch players from the four houses have a brand new rocket crossbow!
There is competition between various magic schools. Students and parents are not stupid. Only those who are really inconvenient to move will choose a school nearby. But those who are rich, who wouldn't want their children to go to a good school?
So what kind of school is considered a good school by parents?
Is it a ranking?
Of course not. Hogwarts ranks near the bottom among magic schools worldwide, but it has never lacked students. The reasons are threefold: first, its history; second, the world's largest and most comprehensive library; and third, the presence of Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world.
With more students comes more parents. Wealthy parents can help the school, secure many benefits, protect against external sabotage, and obtain some unspoken, hidden benefits.
So, when the students saw that the rocket crossbows were being used by the students—a type of weapon not even widely used in the national team—the Durmstrang students felt a pang of envy.
The female students at Beauxbatons, however, had a different focus. They were there to compete, but also to learn, and they were more concerned with the quality of Hogwarts' teaching.
It was through this attention that they discovered that Hogwarts' professors were actually graded.
Some professors teach only the first three years and below, while others are responsible for teaching the fourth year and above. This division allows professors to concentrate their energy more effectively, and the teaching quality will naturally be better.
Another important finding is that professors teaching grades below three years old adhered closely to the textbook, while professors teaching grades four and above were more imaginative and their personal experiences dominated the curriculum.
"The first to third years are the time to build a foundation. Students need solid magical knowledge and to develop their own spellcasting habits. After the fourth year, students with a solid foundation need to open their minds and embrace the freedom of magic completely. Only in this way can they create their own miracles."
Irving was teaching a class, but the audience wasn't students, but the principal. After discovering this teaching method, Ms. Maxim specifically sought him out and asked him why he had designed the course this way.
Irving had nothing to hide from this person; he just told the truth.
Ms. Maxim was accompanied by Fleur, a girl who didn't attend classes. She spent her days either wandering around the school with her principal or following Owen around like a shadow. When she was learning from him, she was very unreserved, asking questions whenever she didn't understand something, like asking a million "whys."
The girl finally calmed down after Molly returned; she was less likely to stick close to Owen in front of the big cat.
"Irving, the date for your first game is set for the 24th of next month."
After receiving Dumbledore's note, Owen quietly left Hogwarts, flew to Nigeria, and then used magic to reach the Dragon Sanctuary after landing.
The news of the Triwizard Tournament couldn't be kept secret. The Fire Dragon Reserve had already received the notification, but to their surprise, the notification didn't require them to send the fire dragon to England; it only said that someone would come to pick it up.
When the people in the reserve saw Irving, their expressions immediately soured: Why did they send this guy?
Finished!
Logically, the Triwizard Tournament only requires three fire dragons, but Owen spent three days wandering around the center of the reserve and brought out thirteen fire dragons.
"Isn't this much unnecessary? Isn't this a three-way battle for supremacy?"
Irving chuckled. "These are all old friends of mine. As soon as I mentioned it, they all wanted to come. I'm not good at saying no, so this is how it is. By the way, since I'm taking these friends with me, should I write them an IOU?"
The reserve's manager was speechless. This was the first time someone had taken so many fire dragons from the reserve and even had to sign an IOU.
"No, no need, just sign this document—"
Actually, he wanted to object, really, he really wanted to object, but there were thirteen fire dragons and twenty-six big eyes staring at him. If he said no, the little wizard's mouth would twist, and these fire dragons wouldn't reason with him.
Irving signed the document without hesitation. This was a public matter, and he didn't want these fire dragons himself, so there was nothing to hide. He could just be open about it.
"Alright, Mr. Owen, how do you plan to bring these dozen or so of your friends to England?"
"Easy!"
Owen pulled out a suitcase, and the head of the reserve's eyelids twitched. Watching Owen open the suitcase and then the fire dragons line up to walk in, it looked so damn familiar!
If it weren't for the fact that he looked different, he would have thought it was that man who came!
But then I thought, this little wizard seems to be someone's disciple, doesn't he?
Okay, everything makes sense now. I just hope that these fire dragons won't cause any major trouble outside.
The dragons were already in place, and since they were out, there was no need to rush back. Owen carried his suitcase and went to Newt's house first. The old couple were there, and they were pleasantly surprised to see Owen. When Newt learned that there were thirteen dragons in the little wizard's suitcase, he was incredibly excited and insisted on keeping Owen in the suitcase for two days and two nights.
When they came out, Tina was furious and locked their suitcases. Even though a simple lock-picking spell could open them, Newt and Owen sat upright at the dining table with their backs straight, while Tina was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"Mr. Newt, I feel like you need a house-elf here."
Newt chuckled softly: "Tina said she doesn't need it—"
Owen sighed: "Teachers, you are both 95 years old this year, not young anymore. Alright, leave this to me. I'll find you someone during the holidays this year. Don't refuse."
"Okay, as long as you can convince Tina."
Newt didn't really care. After all, he hadn't been in charge at home since getting married; his wife always made the decisions.
After resting for two days at Newt's house, and with both agreeing to attend the game, Irving went to Nicole's ranch, only to find that the two hadn't returned yet.
With no other options, Owen had to rush to Hogwarts, where all thirteen dragons were stationed deep within the Forbidden Forest.
"Everyone, this place is all wood, so you can't breathe fire here—" Owen reminded them again and again. Finally, he was still worried, so he simply set up a tent and lived with a dozen or so fire dragons. Anyway, there were only a few days left before the competition started, so he could just bear with it. After the first competition, the fire dragons could appear openly at Hogwarts.
He wanted to know what kind of expression those who were planning to cause trouble would have when they found out that there were thirteen adult fire dragons in the castle!
