The Admiral of Hogwarts

After the ship girls took turns explaining, along with various videos transmitted through the Admiral Network, Hugo finally understood why Hood said that Veneto had only used a small portion of her power in today's battle.

As the spirits of battleships, the ship girls' power is equivalent to the power of the battleships. Taking Veneto as an example, the power of her full-strength strike is equivalent to pushing a 42,000-ton ship at 34 knots, which is roughly equivalent to 140,000 horsepower. Considering that all the power of that huge battleship was condensed into a human body, her current combat power can be said to far exceed the state of the warship back then.

If she were to swing her fist and strike that giant troll with all her might, it is estimated that either every punch would directly pierce the troll's body, or the troll would be directly plastered against the wall, impossible to peel off.

After the lecture, Hugo and the ship girls discussed why the giant troll didn't appear in the corridor on the third floor as in the original story, but instead appeared among the Ravenclaw students in the common room. The conclusion was that trolls are living things after all, so their location is unpredictable.

Now that three new students have suddenly been added to the school, it is not strange that the troll changed its route due to some butterfly effect. According to Victory, as time goes on, these small changes will become more and more numerous, and may even gradually affect the big picture. So now everyone should be prepared.

After the late-night talk, Hugo quickly fell into a dream, after all, he was already very tired after experiencing so much today. The next morning, after learning about what had happened last night, Veneto suddenly became a celebrity in the school, along with Hugo and Penelope, who bravely rushed out to save people at the time.

"You two should have been sorted into Gryffindor," Fred said suddenly when Hugo and the Weasley twins were studying several new joke products together. "When it comes to courage, I think very few students in our house can compare to you two."

"Courage is not exclusive to you Gryffindors," Hugo said, then asked casually, "By the way, I heard you guys made Harry a Seeker this time, how is his level?"

"I can only tell you that his level is very good, I can't say more," George said after carefully pouring the purple potion in the pot into a beaker, "Although we think Wood's approach of completely hiding Harry is stupid, we still have to keep some things secret."

"Understood, I can understand." Hugo stopped asking after hearing this, after all, he was a Ravenclaw student, and it was not appropriate to keep asking about this. After a few dozen seconds of silence, Fred suddenly asked: "By the way, Hugo, are you planning to bet a little on the Quidditch match?"

"Bet?" Hugo raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that someone is setting up bets for small events like school games? Or is there a place for sports betting in the school now?"

"Neither," Fred shook his head and said. "This matter actually originated after Harry joined our Quidditch team. We always thought Harry should be good at flying, but the Slytherin students think Harry will fall from the sky directly during the game."

"Then this argument slowly turned into quarrels and some friction between the two houses."

Looking at the words that Fred stammered out at the end, Hugo felt that their so-called friction had probably already escalated into a fight. Judging from the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin, this was not impossible.

"You need to know that although we two houses have a tradition of friction, we will also try to control this friction to an acceptable level. Otherwise, both the angry Professor McGonagall and the insidious Professor Snape will give us enough lessons," George added at this time.

"So after some conflicts, some senior students from both sides made a decision through negotiations. That is, everyone directly bets on the outcome of the first game and Harry's performance."

For the wizarding world, which is completely a society of acquaintances, this kind of compromise is not unacceptable. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Hugo became interested in this bet.

You need to know that learning skills from the ship girls requires gold Galleons. But because of Hugo's background, he only has 12 Galleons in total, and even with the money in the hands of the two ship girls, there are only about 30 Galleons. And because of his current student status, it is difficult to get money.

Therefore, he was quite interested in this bet, because now it seems that if there are no accidents, this bet may be the way for him to obtain a large amount of money from the wizarding world in a short period of time. However, he was still a little worried about the integrity of the Slytherin side.

"You said, what if I win, will the Slytherin students not give me the money?" Hugo looked at the Weasley twins and asked, "As far as I know, Slytherin has always been very cunning, for example, the last time Malfoy and Harry made an appointment to duel, not only did they not go, but they also ran directly to tell the professor."

"This time it shouldn't be," Fred said after the Weasley brothers looked at each other. "After all, this time it is a duel between the two houses, and the Slytherin students have all sworn in the name of their families. Under this circumstance, they will not damage the reputation of their families for a little bit of gold coins."

"Yes, Fred is right. The Slytherins are indeed more cunning, but on the other hand, they will also weigh the pros and cons," George said, "For example, if you want them to not abide by the rules, there must be enough benefits, and a few hundred Galleons are not worth them going back on their word."

After listening to the Weasley twins' explanation, Hugo was finally relieved. After all, the Weasley family is also an ancient pure-blood family, and they have dealt with those Slytherins for a long time. Therefore, their guarantee is still credible.

"If that's the case, I'll bet," Hugo said, took out his wallet, took out 12 Galleons from it, and then thought about it and put two back. "Anyway, you don't have to pay for food or anything in the school, I might as well just put in all the pocket money for this year. No matter what, Malfoy really screwed us over last time."

In fact, Hugo originally planned to bet everything. But later, he thought that doing so was a bit too suspicious. So he took back two Galleons.

"Me too," Veneto said and also took out her wallet and took out ten Galleons. "I hope you Gryffindors can be a little more reliable this time. That feeling of brushing shoulders with death when facing the three-headed dog last time was really terrible."

"Thank you very much for your trust," Fred took the money and recorded it in his notebook before raising his head and saying, "By the way, what do you plan to bet on?"
