The Admiral of Hogwarts

It has to be said that Harry's quick victory put a lot of pressure on Krum. As a famous Quidditch superstar, he had an image to maintain. With Harry's brilliance preceding him, even a clear victory wouldn't be enough; his score would still look bad in comparison.

At the start, Krum considered using some special magic to make his victory more impressive, but in the end, he decided to abandon the idea.

As the star player who could decisively catch the Golden Snitch in the World Cup even when his team was destined to lose, Krum knew that the most important thing for him now was to complete the task. Taking risks and complicating things was obviously not worthwhile.

So, in the subsequent match, Krum followed his original plan, using the Conjunctivitis Curse to blind the dragon, and then seized the golden egg while the dragon was in chaos.

However, the dragon handlers who came to clean up the mess looked very unhappy, because the dragon had crushed half of the dragon eggs while struggling.

"It seems that Krum's score won't be high," Hermione said, looking at the dragon handlers who were using various tools to collect the remaining egg liquid and shells. "Destroying dragon eggs will definitely result in deductions."

Krum was clearly aware of this as well, so he looked equally unhappy as he left the arena with the golden egg, looking rather dejected.

"Alright, let's welcome the last champion!" After the arena was rearranged, Bagman cleared his throat and said loudly.

The audience on the field all looked towards the entrance of the enclosure, where a silver-haired little witch wearing Hogwarts school uniform was walking in.

Unlike the other champions, the witch's expression was very calm, seemingly unaffected by the roaring Hungarian Horntail in front of her.

In an instant, applause and cheers rang out in the arena. Compared to Harry Potter, Veneto's previous feat of shattering the ground with a punch had left a deep impression on everyone. Many firmly believed that she was the true champion of Hogwarts.

After entering the arena, Veneto first waved to the audience as a greeting. Then, using her wand, she cut a palm-sized piece of cloth from the peach tree, turned it into a red handkerchief, and wrapped a stone she picked up from the ground inside.

"—The fourth champion's opponent is a Hungarian Horntail, the largest and most terrifying of these dragons. Let's see how our smallest champion will face this fearsome dragon."

At this moment, Bagman began the pre-match introduction as usual, but he didn't see Veneto suddenly turn her head to look at the garrulous Bagman standing on the podium when he said the word "smallest."

Because the ship girls' birthdays are often their launch dates, Veneto's birthday is July 25th, while Harry's birthday is July 31st. That is to say, Harry is the smallest one.

The reason Bagman said Veneto was the smallest contestant was probably because he thought Veneto looked more—petite and cute. But this sentence obviously touched on Veneto's sensitive point.

Fortunately, Bagman was just making a habitual slip of the tongue, which could barely be considered unintentional. So Veneto just glared at him and then looked at the dragon in the arena.

"—Alright, let the competition begin now." Bagman, unaware of what had just happened, felt a chill run down his back, so he subconsciously stopped his explanation and announced the start of the competition.

"Now, let the games begin!" Just after the starting whistle sounded, Veneto said in a doll-like voice devoid of any emotion, and then threw the handkerchief holding a stone in the middle into the sky.

The handkerchief flew straight into the sky, and then grew larger and larger. In an instant, both the audience in the arena and the dragon focused their attention on the handkerchief.

"A clever move," Bagman shouted from the stands. "Using a handkerchief to distract the dragon is a very good idea, but the time it can buy won't be—what, what is that?"

Bagman's voice changed, because he saw that in just a few seconds, the petite silver-haired girl had rushed to the dragon's side, wielding an iron rod that had just been conjured.

"90mm high-explosive cannon barrel." Looking at the steel rod that was more than 4 meters long, Hugo instantly recognized what Veneto had created. This cannon barrel probably weighed more than a ton, but in Veneto's hands, it looked as light as a toothpick.

He saw her grab the muzzle and swing it with all her might, and the thicker part of the cannon at the rear happened to smash into the Hungarian Horntail's face, which had just reacted and was about to stick its head out to see what was going on.

After taking such a heavy blow, even the dragon was momentarily stunned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Veneto grabbed the cannon barrel and swung it hard in the opposite direction, hitting the Hungarian Horntail on the neck.

This blow was even more damaging to the dragon than the previous one, because the Horntail was just about to breathe fire at the little bug in its eyes, but Veneto's blow caused a mouthful of dragon fire to explode directly in its throat.

After being blasted by its own dragon fire, the Hungarian Horntail suddenly woke up from its previous rage, and immediately felt the extremely dangerous aura emanating from Veneto.

Realizing this, the Hungarian Horntail's brain, already dizzy from the beating, was filled with fear, and it frantically opened its wings, trying to escape.

But this action immediately became a symbol of the opponent's desire to continue fighting in Veneto's eyes.

So, Veneto, looking a little impatient, quickly jumped up and swung the cannon barrel, repeatedly striking the place where the dragon's neck and body connected.

After quickly striking the same spot three times in two seconds, a terrible sound of bone breaking came from the dragon's neck, and at the same time, the skin of the entire neck collapsed.

A broken cervical vertebra is also a devastating injury for a dragon, because its throat had been severely damaged by the backfire of the unreleased flames, so the Hungarian Horntail fell to the ground without a sound.

This behemoth leaned crookedly against the protective wall, lying there motionless with its abdomen facing the sky. Blood was constantly seeping out from its wounds, nostrils, corners of its mouth, and eyes, making the hideous dragon head look like it had turned red.

At this moment, Veneto walked gracefully to the temporary nest, took out the golden dragon egg from among the gray dragon eggs that looked like rocks, and held it high.

Cheers and applause rang out in the arena at this moment, because Veneto's movements were so fast that the audience only realized that the competition was over.

"Look, our 14-year-old contestant has completed the competition with absolute overwhelming power. She succeeded," Bagman's excited voice echoed throughout the arena.

"And Miss Veneto also broke the fastest victory record in the first match of the Triwizard Tournament just set by Harry. Interestingly, the fastest to complete the competition are now the two youngest contestants—"

The moment Veneto knocked down the dragon, Hugo pulled his sister down the stairs on the side of the stands to welcome Veneto, who had completed the competition.
