At the end of October, the much-anticipated Halloween is coming this Saturday.

However, little wizards at Hogwarts have something more to look forward to this year than Halloween - Friday's Dueling Club!

Harry, Ron and Hermione ran to the large classroom on the first floor after eating.In fact, Harry found that most of the students were running in the same direction, from the first to the seventh grades, Colin, Ginny, the Weasley twins, Wood, Malfoy...even Neville were there!

Everyone can't wait to see what Serra's dueling club will look like!

After entering the door, Harry saw that Selah was standing on the table in the middle of the classroom, and the little wizards rushed in. Fortunately, this is really a very big classroom, and everyone can still stand if they squeeze together.

The interior has obviously been remodeled. Among the four walls of the classroom, two large mirrors have been installed on the left and right sides, and tapestries have been hung on the front and rear walls.Beneath the tapestry at one end was a huge metal display stand - now empty, Harry guessed it was used for trophies.Harry looked up and saw that there were also six huge flags planted on the six pillars of the classroom-now they were gray.The ceiling here is also enchanted, allowing a view of the sky outside, and there are candles floating on top for lighting.

The most obvious and curious thing in the classroom is the two gorgeous doors standing abruptly in the middle of the classroom.Harry had never seen such a door before, they were all air in front and back, and there was no wall to support them, as if opening could lead to another world.Serra was standing between the two doors now.

The students were curiously discussing their guesses, and all of them were attracted by the strange layout of the room.

Finally, when the bell struck seven o'clock, more than 200 people in the room fell silent, and Serra spoke.

"Students, I am Serra Green, welcome to my dueling club." Serra's voice was not loud, but it caught everyone's ears and made everyone listen intently, "First of all, I would like to thank Professor Dumbledore, Hogwarts castle magic, and house elves, they helped me complete the classroom layout, which is what you see now—let me introduce these two doors first."

"Students who understand the rules of wizard duels may find that there is no dedicated duel field in this classroom. Yes, you may have guessed it - the real duel field is behind these two doors!"

"We have designed a special duel field. A field can accommodate two or four people, corresponding to one-on-one duels and two-on-two duels. Among them, if you want to play two-on-two, you must first find you Teammates." Following her reminder, everyone found that "1v1" and "2v2" were written on the front frames of the two doors respectively, "Attention, the most wonderful thing is that two hundred duels can be held here at the same time! It’s okay for people to go in together! If there is no space, the door can only enter but not exit.”

"This is really awesome..." "I love magic!" Two hundred dueling arenas!Hearing this, the students burst into surprise.

"After you enter, you will first pass through a corridor, during which you can tell your choice, whether to fight a duel with a privately agreed opponent or let the magic choose a random opponent for you - it will try to be as fair as possible, by the way , The former is called a practice match—it may also be a challenge match, which I will talk about later; while the latter is a qualifying match. Then, magic will guide you to your duel room.

"After the game, you also need to walk through a corridor - this is so that you can line up and get out from behind this door." Sera pointed to the back of the door.

"About the outcome of a duel, contrary to popular opinion, I don't think a duel should end with just dropping the wand - you can pick up the wand and continue fighting, or you can just punch your fists. Of course, you can have different opinions. Idea. Within 1 minute before the start of each duel, the dueling parties need to negotiate the format of the outcome decision. I have provided three modes-the wand is out of hand, surrender, and crystal-the crystal mode means that the dueling parties need to protect a levitating The crystal on one's own side of the court, and smashing the opponent's crystal is the victory condition. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, the number of games will not be counted and each person will deduct one point of personal points."

"The dueling field has the function of monitoring and disabling spells. Most of the known black magic is forbidden. This is to avoid irreversible damage."

"Of course, the magic we usually touch is also very dangerous, so if the venue thinks that you have suffered too much damage—for example, you will not be blocked if you just lose your limbs, but if you lose too much blood, it may lead to death. Otherwise, the duel will be forcibly stopped, and the two sides can no longer attack. At this time, there will also be a simple healing magic to heal the wounded, so that you can at least walk to the medical wing alive. Of course, the behavior of healing the opponent after the game is encouraged Yes, you get one point for personal points - I'll get to that in a minute about the point system."

"But what if someone takes advantage of the opportunity to cast a curse? I mean, if there can only be two duels in the arena, how can anyone be held accountable if someone takes advantage of the loophole? Will the professors believe us?" At this time, a asked the Gryffindor student suddenly.

Sera glanced at him, then looked at everyone's faces - there are still many people who are worried about this, so she nodded, pointed to the mirrors on both sides and said: "Then I will explain this first. First, the duel field There is a spell monitoring function. If you are worried that some small actions cannot be recorded, these two mirrors are provided for everyone to watch the battle. The mirror will randomly display the ongoing duel screen. After you confirm that you want to join the duel club, everyone will get There is a small mirror, which can be used to watch any match freely, and it will automatically record individual match images, so every duel is fully public and recorded."

Next, Sierra introduced the specific scoring rules to the students.

Duels are divided into qualifying matches, practice matches and challenge matches.There is a set of points system in the qualifying competition—called individual points. After the duel, each student is given a score based on his duel performance, so that the ranking can be obtained based on the individual points.

At the beginning of each school year, all members will be equally divided into two camps according to the number and ability, and it will be re-divided every year.Every half school year is counted as a season, and a winning camp will be selected every season. All current members of this camp can get souvenir rewards and a one-month exclusive right to use a new magic spell invented by Sera. It is open to all club members (the banning spell is set by the duel venue here, and it is not forbidden to spread it).

The opponents in the qualifying match are random, regardless of the camp.That is to say, in 1v1 ranking, you may meet your own camp standing opposite you, and in 2v2, you can also form a team with the opponent's camp, and then randomly match with your own camp's opponent.

Challenges are the main means of faction competition.If an opposing faction with a similar ranking challenges you, you must fight, unless there are no times.In this mode, there are no extra points except for extra points (such as winning streaks, healing opponents), and the winner will take the appropriate amount of points for the loser according to the size of the advantage.Each person has three challenge opportunities and six challenge times per day.In 2v2 battles, the players are required to be in the same camp and have the corresponding number of times-the number of times is not shared with 1v1.

The tapestry at the front of the classroom (the end of the display stand) will display the ranking of everyone in the 1v1 battle in real time. The information in each line is: ranking, points, and name. There will be a black or white diamond mark behind the name to indicate the camp; The tapestry at the back of the classroom shows the 2v2 ranking.

The specific rules for camp competition are as follows: the ranking starts from the first to the seventh, and every seven people is a segment, and whichever camp has the most people in this segment will count as one point for that camp—but the first seven segments, that is, include the first to the seventh. In this part of the No.40 nine, if the number of people is superior, two points can be scored.For the convenience of distinction, it is called camp points here.The faction points for the two rankings and the color of the flag in the classroom are refreshed once a month; the score at the end of the season is the only criterion for selecting the faction cup.

Of course, still taken from the old rules of the Academy Cup, the winning team can get a trophy and the attribution of the theme color of the club's decoration - in their case, black or white.And because the club camp is variable, the above rewards will all be marked with the year of the season.Each member of the winning camp of the season will get a commemorative coin marked with the name of the season and the owner and the camp they belonged to at that time. It will be a magic item. The specific function is different every season, and it can be to resist a curse or the like.

Sierra had finally stopped after a long spout, and she was always very chatty about what she was researching.

Although these rules are complicated and unheard of, the students are very excited to hear them!

"I can't wait to join in! Let's sign that tapestry, Sierra!" someone said excitedly.

"Are there any conditions for joining the club? Are there any requirements for grades?" A little wizard asked worriedly.

"Don't worry—there are two things I haven't said yet." Sela waved her hand to calm everyone down.

"First, a few dueling club rules."

"One, duelists can only carry your wand, potions, broomsticks, etc. are not allowed to enter the arena;

Second, it is not allowed to play fake games, please go all out in every game;

Three, conduct at least one duel per event.

"If you can't do these three things, then the Dueling Club will refuse you to join."

Hearing this, many little wizards showed hesitation, some struggled and made up their minds, while others left silently.

"Very good. Everyone is very courageous. Then let me finally introduce the names of the black and white camps, for the convenience of calling them in the future." Sera turned around and found that not many people cared about the names of the camps. , the little wizards who stayed behind were discussing who they would fight first, and they were all gearing up to sign their names.

Sela quietly evoked a troublesome smile.

"The black camp - that's my side, although I don't participate in the ranking - only the highest ranking player can challenge me - but since I have worked so hard to come up with ideas, you probably don't mind if I choose a camp name according to my personal preference Bar."

… Some little wizards instinctively sensed something bad, but Sera was right, they liked the club she created very much, Sera contributed a lot to this, and she was indeed qualified to add a little personal preferences.So everyone nodded blankly.

"—Very good! Then everyone can call me the Green Lord (TheGreenLord) from now on! Or Lord Sera (Lord Sera)! The students in our camp are my followers! You are called Pumpkin Devourers ( Pumpkin Eaters)!"

"..."

The name made the little wizards immediately have bad associations, and the whole classroom fell silent.

—— Sera cheered up and observed everyone's expressions.

Fear?No, most people are still at a loss.They are struggling, can this matter be used as a joke?

No one has ever done this before, but...

So what?

"I'm familiar with this! It's nothing. I used to play it a lot. We pretended to be countries from World War II and fought around." A Muggle-born first-year wizard was comforting his friend, "This is the game! Fighting on horseback!"

"That's right. This is the game," Sera said gently. "Let's not be afraid."

The students looked at each other.Few have seen Sierra like this.

When she stopped teasing them, she was unexpectedly reassuring, as unfathomable and trustworthy as Headmaster Dumbledore.

Most of the students are still children, and a name can't stop their curiosity about qualifying and camp battles.

The little wizards who grew up in the Muggle world were not very afraid, and even thought the name was cool, and some had already said "I like pumpkins, I hope I can be assigned to the Devourer!"... And Driven by the overall atmosphere, some little wizards who were a little scared at first also relaxed.

The reactions of the senior students were different. Some of them blended in with the little wizards, some of them were smart enough to understand Sera’s intentions and were thinking silently; Embarrassed - but attracted by the cool duel mode, at this moment the front is tangled.

In short, everyone accepted this fact. "But it's not fair," said a Slytherin at this moment, hesitantly, "You-Know-Who teaches magic to his Death Eaters, if you're going to be the Green Lord, why don't you just give your followers What about teaching them?" It seems that he has assumed the role.

As soon as these words came out, although some students showed dissatisfaction, many students looked at Sera curiously.

Serra would have liked the discussion: "Good question. But the price the Death Eaters get for their magic is that they become slaves to the Dark Lord—what, do you want to be my slave? The professors will hold me back later." How about transferring points to you?"

The third year Slytherin shook his head hastily, his flustered appearance amused many people around him, among which Draco's shaking little golden head was particularly obvious.

Sera also found it funny: "——you can't help it if you want to. After all, I'm not the Dark Lord, I'm the Green Lord!"

"Sierra, we have one more question," said one of the Weasley twins at this moment, "can't we really choose our side?"

"We want to be on your side!" So cool!Very much in line with the positioning of Gemini!Just to eat you little pumpkins!

"Me too!" Seeing this, Draco quickly expressed his loyalty!

Dad came to visit him last weekend, and it seemed that he was going to scold him, but in the end he just told him to get along with Sera-Draco realized that what Sera said had been done, that is to say, their family If he returns to the Dark Lord now, there is an [-]% chance that he will be tortured and retaliated by the Dark Lord.

I'm a little sorry for Dad, but things are already like this!And, Draco thought, he's just a baby to his parents, so what can he do?He couldn't have been more helpful.

The current situation is much simpler, anyway, just follow Sierra.Serra is so powerful, the savior Potter is also a younger brother in front of her, no one can steal Serra's limelight.

Just be her number one little brother!He won't be in the spotlight!

"—No. Especially you, Draco." However, Sera ruthlessly refused him.

What is "especially"? !

Sierra looked at the twins, "Thank you for your likes, but for fairness, the grouping must be random." Fred and George shrugged in exactly the same way. "As for you, Draco—"

"Is no one curious about the name of the white camp?" Sera smiled maliciously, "Yes, the white camp is called - The Order of the Draco. Members, you can call yourself the Carrots. Draco Co will be the mascot for this camp, so you'll only be on the white side."

Draco is stupid! "Why!!" This meant that he would never be able to go to her side!

Everyone else had mixed reactions, even the opposite: some felt it was too insulting to 'listen to Draco' - despite the fact that they didn't have to take orders from a mascot, the faction name was annoying; Some people thought it was a good way to make fun of Draco's name, especially from his own pale little face - everyone was entertained.

"Quiet. Quiet," Serra said. "Okay, then I'll explain. First of all, I noticed that little Mr. Malfoy's hair was very shiny—"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd. "Indeed!" "It's so reasonable!" "A genius discovery."...

Draco got the attention he could only dream of, but blushed with embarrassment.Frustrated, Draco took a peek at Harry Potter, his deadly enemy, to see if he was making fun of him with his companions, but he found that Harry was also looking at him—Harry squinted his eyes and grinned, Showing the neat eight teeth - is a simple, good-natured smile.

As we all know, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. It is difficult for your enemy to show a normal expression in front of you - and the expression has a great impact on the image of a person. Under the diametrically opposite expression, everyone will feel that this is not at all. the same person.

Draco, who hadn't seen the normal version of Harry, was momentarily stunned.

"—At the same time, Hogwarts' school motto is Sleeping Dragon, so I think dragons can be used as a symbol for our students." Serra added.

This reason is more serious.Draco breathed a sigh of relief with less eyes on his forehead.

So why did she say the dishonest one first! !

"And last but not least, Draco's father, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, made a huge investment in the possible consumption of this club - of course, you don't need to suspect that the name is Malfoy I brought it up myself - and Draco can attest to that - but I don't mind everyone applauding Mr Malfoy right now."

This time, everyone needs a little time to react.

Draco was also at a loss, his father hadn't told him about it beforehand.

Scattered applause erupted in the classroom - those young wizards who were not familiar with Lucius's past applauded at first - then, the applause grew louder, and even a few Weasleys started to cheer from the twins palm.

Father is father, son is son.It would be impossible for them to applaud Lucius for whatever good he did to save the world, but it would be passable for young Malfoy.

"I think Lucius must have been pushed by Serra," Fred said.

"It's definitely going to make his wallet bleed, I'm about to laugh just thinking about his face!" George said.

Draco once again stood in the center of everyone's attention, he was in a daze, and the development of the matter was completely beyond his imagination.He was frozen speechless - even Colin Creevey was still taking pictures of him!

Is this how it feels for Potter to be watched?

Draco was at a loss, and instinctively looked at Harry again - Harry clapped and threw him a schadenfreude look.

Facing the cameras and the crowd's support, Draco could only forcefully smile - he felt very strange, those people who usually hated him were applauding him at this moment, and they were not forced to do so. It's hard to raise your chin triumphantly like usual, but there is a feeling that you should bow and thank you at this time.

Harry looked at Draco, who was trying to run away but didn't dare, and thought it was so funny that it was finally his turn to go through it all - and he clapped harder and harder.

"That's all!" Sera announced loudly, "Now, everyone, like me, write your name on this tapestry with a magic wand! After everyone has signed and divided into camps, the event can officially begin !” She made a demonstration.

At this time, only about twenty minutes had passed. As soon as Serra finished speaking, everyone quickly picked up their wands and signed. There is still time to play a few games today!

During the signing period of the little wizards, Serra added: "You can gradually explore the specific points addition and subtraction rules in the duel. New spells that have not been detected before will also get bonus points."

The eyes of a small group of young wizards who like to study spells but rarely get rewards for them lit up. Ron patted Hermione on the shoulder and gave her a "It's your turn to perform" look; Hermione was obviously eager to try, I couldn't close my mouth with joy.

"The faction is just a formality, and I think being the devil king is just out of personal preference. In fact, our game doesn't need a real faction leader to formulate strategies for everyone-I won't do it anyway. However, you guys privately Meetings can also be held - as you may have noticed, following my rules, there is skill in trying to get your side to win. I encourage everyone to climb the ladder on strength, but you can also implement appropriate strategies."

"This large classroom can be used for you to communicate. I hope that everyone here will not think about the difference between the colleges. It is more important to find the most compatible teammates, exchange experience and win the victory."

Sierra was so happy to see everyone responding so enthusiastically to her that she couldn't help but want to remind them that they could get a little dirty.

But no one paid any attention to her. Everyone was excitedly signing their names. After signing their names, they discussed with their friends whether to rank directly or practice first, play doubles or singles, which mode to choose, and how to ensure that they are in the game. Admit defeat before being beaten into tears, what magic spell is there to win by surprise...

About another 10 minutes later, everyone's name appeared on the front and back tapestry—a total of 180 people.After confirming that everyone signed, Sera recited a series of incantations, and all the names had a format. Now they are still ranking "/", points "0", followed by a diamond-shaped camp imprint.

Careful students found that not only the grades were balanced on both sides of the camp, but even the number of students in each college was roughly even.

Indeed, here, the school distinction is less important.Little wizards are thoughtful, especially in 2v2 battles, in order to find the most compatible partner, they may have to look for their classmates from other colleges.

Then, Sera distributed the small mirror hidden in the table under her feet to everyone: "This mirror allows you to watch any duel in real time, and it has a playback function. You can watch the duels you have watched and The duels I participated in for analysis and summary."

"I can only look back at what I have seen. That is to say, if we want to challenge the Pumpkin Devourer who has not seen it, we have to borrow a mirror from the carrot that has his video." "What is the video?"... the little wizards whispered .

The students who received the mirror looked at it curiously: the style of the mirror is a makeup mirror commonly used by girls, but the design is very simple; the mirror surface is about the size of a palm, round in shape, and the frame and handle are silver; everyone gets the mirror Finally, his name appeared under the mirror, and patterns appeared on the back of the mirror—"Pumpkin Devourer" with a black background and a cool classic Halloween pumpkin, "Dragon Society" with a white background and an Aussie holding a carrot. Opaline Dragon.

"It's so cute." Hermione lightly touched the cartoon-style radish in the picture—the radish was about the same size as the little white dragon.Both she and Ron were assigned to the "Little Dragon Club", and they would be the glorious radishes from now on.

"I still want pumpkins better," said Ron, how cool pumpkins are! "And I don't want to listen to Malfoy..."

"I don't think he even wants to." Harry got the little pumpkin mirror, and he looked at Draco, who was particularly conspicuous among the Slytherins because of his hair color, and who was obviously aggrieved silently at the moment.

"Well, that's not bad." Ron poked the little dragon in the picture, "Look! This dragon can breathe fire!" He raised his burned finger to look left and right—there was no wound. "Cool!"

"The mirror can be put away when not in use, just touch the protrusion under the mirror handle." Sera demonstrated, turning her black mirror into a badge and pinning it on the cloak—the pattern on the badge is one It will be a Halloween pumpkin, and then it will become "LordSera" in silver letters on a black background. "Only wearing a badge can enter the duel gate, everyone pay attention."

Most of the people followed her example and put away the mirror—they were going to have a fight right away.

Another image of the members' badges is not Serra's exclusive symbol, but a pattern showing the highest rank in their two combat modes-now all of them are two crossed brown wands, representing that they are ordinary duelists, The top 49 will be orange duelists, and the top seven will be purple duelists.There is also a black or white patterned decoration on this side to indicate the alignment.

"Okay, now—the duel begins!"

Sierra jumped off the table nimbly and made it disappear, opened two doors with a wave of her wand, and made an inviting gesture to the little wizards with a smile.

The students entered the door with a whimper, and Sela felt a little itchy looking at it, but she could only watch from the sidelines throughout the day, and she had to observe whether there would be any problems—although she had tested it with the professors before, but this This is the first time that the duel field has hosted so many students.

——Professors of course have the right to use the duel arena, but they only have the "practice" mode, and they don't have the fun of playing ranked.

So in fact, the magic in these small rooms in the duel arena is very powerful, allowing the professors to fight freely.

However, all this is not very difficult to do.As we all know, the founder of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, loves duels. Hogwarts Castle originally contained such a duel room and the corresponding field magic. Serra and Dumbledore just doubled them Just copied.

Sera happily took out a small mirror and began to think about what permission to secretly grant Snape. Then she saw that there were some junior wizards around who were still staying where they were, and they probably planned to watch the battle before entering. She thought for a while , turned the tables and chairs that had been taken away back into the classroom, and changed them into small cushions.

—the little wizards look like they almost want to call mommy.

It's a good buy.Serra returned them a friendly smile.
