Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 170 Top Four
On the ground, except for a little heavy breathing, Mike's reaction was similar to Snape's.

The concentrated fireball he just fired had directly used up 70% of his magic power, and then controlling the flames after the explosion to spread across the entire stadium had taken up most of his mental power. Even though Mike was used to the situation of overdrawing his magic power and mental power, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a moving sound of birdsong came from the stadium. The singing continued and gradually formed a beautiful piece of music, a song of warriors.

Listening to this warrior song, Mike felt infinite courage surging from the bottom of his heart, and the slight discomfort caused by the massive consumption of magic power and mental power disappeared. Turning his head to look at the stands, as expected, the spectators who were originally terrified in the stands had returned to normal, and some of the guys who were overwhelmed by this courage even wanted to jump off the stands to fight Mike to the death.

Along with beautiful singing, a swan-sized bird with golden tail feathers appeared in the sea of ​​fire. Its bright red feathers echoed with the flames in the sky, as if it was a bird of fire.

At this moment, Carol was flying in the air while being held by the bird's shoulders.

I don't know how much time had passed before the warrior's song came to an abrupt end. Just when everyone was feeling a little lonely because of the sudden loss of courage, the bird once again opened its sharp beak and began to sing.

"?"

A cry that is difficult to describe in words was heard, and the flames on the field seemed to have heard the call of the Lord of Fire, twisting and gradually going out.

"This is the phoenix." Mike looked up at the phoenix circling in the air with longing on his face, and murmured, "It is indeed a 4X-level magical creature. The fire I set with great effort was extinguished with just one cry."

Mike wasn't surprised at all that Phoenix saved Carol.

The magical creature phoenix is ​​also called the phoenix. It has the ability to be immortal and can be reborn even if it is hit by the killing curse. Its tears have the effect of healing and detoxification. Its tail feathers are also powerful wand cores. It also has the ability to teleport, similar to Apparition, and this ability can be used normally within the scope of Hogwarts, just like the house elves, so it is not difficult for the phoenix to teleport to save Carol.

It is also rumored that the phoenix's song can bring courage to those with pure hearts and release fear to those with evil hearts.

Mike didn't know whether the latter was true or not, but he was sure of the former.

The audience in the stands came to their senses and saw Carol held by the phoenix. They knew that it was Dumbledore who sent his own phoenix to save Carol, and they all cheered.

The phoenix hovering above the stadium extinguished the flames and then gently handed the unconscious Carol to Snape. Snape, with a sullen face, threw Carol to the makeshift medical team on the scene.

That's right, just throw it.

Professor Snape never had a good impression of students with troll brains.

"Wow! Looks like our first contestant to advance to the semi-finals has finally appeared, and that's Mike! Let's give him the warmest applause!" Lockhart's voice came at the right time, "We also have to thank our Miss Carol, who, together with Mike, presented us with this wonderful game. Although it's a pity that we lost to Mike, we are all impressed by your courage! God, you really should go to Gryffindor!"

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the stands became more heated. Most people were shouting Mike's name, but there were also many people cheering for Carol. After all, as Lockhart said, Carol had proved her courage, and today she was defeated with honor.

On the other side, Mike was led by a beautiful girl to a platform at the highest point of the arena. As soon as Mike left the arena, a large number of staff entered the arena to repair it. The damage Mike caused to the arena was too great, causing the ground to be almost completely scorched, and a deep pit was left in the center of the arena. There were four huge chairs on this platform. These thrones were silver-white and decorated with a large number of gems, which looked very magnificent.

Mike looked at the girl leading the way with some confusion. He didn't understand what Lockhart was doing.

Just as the staff member was about to explain, Lockhart's voice came again:

"Audience, what you see now are the four finalists' thrones that I specially made for this competition. Only the four strongest students in Hogwarts are qualified to sit on them. There will also be an unexpected surprise after the four finalists take their seats."

Mike rubbed his temple helplessly. He was really speechless about Lockhart. Lockhart had no real strength, but he had a lot of fancy and showy moves.

After silently complaining in his mind, Mike walked towards the four thrones without the girl beside him reminding him.

Mike picked a seat and felt a little surprised as soon as he sat down.

Mike thought it would be a bit cold to sit on these seats because they were shining with metallic luster. After all, although it was spring, the temperature was still cold. Moreover, these seats were placed on such a high open-air platform with cold wind blowing on them. It would be strange if they were not cold.

However, when he sat on it, he felt that the seat was not cold at all, but rather emitted waves of warmth, which dispelled some of the chillness that originally came from his body.

The top four position brought more surprises to Mike. When Mike's "drum" just touched the throne, the whole chair flashed with dazzling blue light.

These blue lights gradually gathered together and formed a huge eagle made entirely of blue light behind Mike. This was the symbol of Ravenclaw!
The Ravenclaw eagle let out a long cry and then flapped its wings and began to circle over the amphitheater.

The terrifying eagle's cry resounded through the sky. All the Ravenclaw students were excited as they looked at the Ravenclaw eagle flying in the sky.

"Long live Ravenclaw!"

Following the lead of an unknown student, shouts of "Hail!" could be heard from the stands belonging to Ravenclaw.

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the eagle representing Ravenclaw circled for a while before finally landing above the Ravenclaw stands, looking down at everyone in the amphitheater.

Mike, who was sitting on the throne of the top four, was also startled by this sudden situation. After reacting and looking at the giant eagle flashing with blue light, Mike decided to take back what he had said to Lockhart in his heart.

"I was wrong, really. At least you have the skills to do this kind of fancy stuff!"
