Chapter 184 Both sides suffer losses

Next, the staff on the field cooperated with the professor to quickly mobilize, and worked together to drag the seriously injured Mike and Cedric back to the infirmary for treatment.

Mike was a little better, after all, he only suffered simple physical injuries.

Although it is relatively serious, with almost the entire chest being cut open and several ribs broken, this kind of simple physical injury is actually not too difficult to cure in the wizarding world. As long as the magic medicine treatment is combined with rest and lying down. It will take a while to get back to its original state without leaving even a single scar.

Cedric's was even more serious.

Mike used all his strength in the final blow, which caused extremely serious injuries to his body, with almost half of his body being broken.

This kind of injury is absolutely hopeless for a simple human being, but fortunately he was in the form of a honey badger at the time. With the amazing survival ability of the honey badger and Professor Sprout, he drank a lot of it at the first time. Healing potion, so he survived.

But his body transformation technique is a bit tricky.

After examining Cedric's body, Professor McGonagall concluded that she could not immediately restore Cedric to his human form.

When faced with Sprout’s question, she explained as follows:

First.

The main reason why Cedric is still alive now is because his survivability in honey badger form has been greatly improved. If he were to return to his human form rashly, Cedric would die immediately from his current injuries, and Merlin would not be able to survive. return.

second.

Cedric's attainments in transfiguration are not as exaggerated as everyone thinks. Although the family secret technique directly gives him the ability to be close to the master of transfiguration, this ability is also flawed, and it is not really possible to master all kinds of transformations. Transfiguration.

This caused Cedric to make a slight mistake when he released the Human Transfiguration Technique, causing his sanity to be affected by the honey badger's bestiality and unable to recover on his own.

Although Professor McGonagall is a master of transfiguration, she cannot immediately restore a person who has lost control of human body transfiguration to their original state. She needs time to reverse the steps of Cedric's transfiguration.

Finally, Professor McGonagall also said that the impact of the honey badger’s bestiality on Cedric’s sanity is likely to be permanent.

This means that even if Cedric is rescued in the end, he will most likely turn into a beast in human skin, instead of being the good student he was in arts and sports.

After listening to Professor McGonagall's conclusion, Professor Sprout couldn't believe his ears. Mr. Diggory, who came later, sat down on the ground and looked at the couple who were being treated with dull eyes. The staff used a levitating spell to transport Cedric away.

But when someone is sad, someone must be happy. Lockhart and Ludo in the hanging attic were so happy that they almost went crazy.

They had already set up "belly sentences" to attract everyone to place bets before the start of this competition, and this duel competition did not disappoint them. Just from the "blocking" in the school, they received nearly a Tens of thousands of gold galleons, and the handicap outside the school directly received tens of thousands of gold galleons.

Don’t underestimate these gold galleons. Although Mike earned 10,000 gold galleons for casually punching Willy in the stomach, Willy is a well-known noble son in the wizarding world, a rich second generation, at this level In the eyes of the rich, money is really just a number. For them, resources are the real wealth.

In the lives of ordinary wizards, these ten thousand gold galleons are probably money they will never earn in their lifetime.

Back to Lockhart and Ludo, these two people not only opened "Belly Ju", but also joined it themselves. Of course, they voted not for Mike but for Cedric, which was also the choice of most people. .

After all, Mike is only in his second grade this year, while Cedric is in his fourth grade. The gap between these two years is already quite huge in the eyes of outsiders.

Moreover, Cedric's performance in the game was much better than that of Mike. He basically reached the finals every second. This was much better than Mike. You must know that Mike was almost eliminated in the semi-finals. Willie's ability to use money was defeated.

With the help of a Muggle-born wizard, they set the odds extremely cleverly, so that no matter who wins, they will make money, the difference is just how much.

Of course, they will gain the most if Cedric wins, because they not only set the ratio of Mike very high to attract greedy people to enter, but also set the ratio of Cedric very low.

This means that they will make a lot of money if Cedric wins, and they will also make a small amount of money if Mike wins.

However, things developed in a completely unexpected direction. Mike and Cedric actually ended up in a draw!

Ludo and Lockhart were about to burst with joy. Although they also set the option of a draw, not many people voted at all. Although the ratio was set very high, the number of people was small after all, so they lost the money. Compared with the overall funds of tens of thousands, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

"Spectators! Now there is an unexpected situation in our game. Both Mike and Cedric have lost their ability to fight!" Lockhart explained happily, "Our staff just came up to report that these two players have lost their ability to fight!" The injuries of each player are very serious and require long-term treatment. However, according to the original plan, we will leave the next two months to all students to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

So due to this situation, we decided... not to hold extra games! Player Mike and Player Cedric tied! Together they become the champions of this duel competition! "

As soon as these words came out, earth-shattering curses broke out in the stands. Most of the people present also placed bets. Of course, most of them were poor students. They were just a few Nats who bet. Support the players from your own academy.

Those who bet with silver coins are already considered rich. If you bet with a gold galleon, congratulations, you will definitely be looked up to as a rich man by the classmates around you.

These people are still blocked by mosquito legs. The main contributors to the huge sum of nearly 10,000 gold galleons are the students from the old nobles. Compared with the people mentioned before, these students from the nobles are much more generous. Yes, the guarantee is three-digit gold galleons.

And now the people who shout the loudest are also those students with noble backgrounds. These people are very involved in blocking, and some even pretend to be fat and force money to be loaded, so they can only jump out and curse Lockhart together. Yiqiu can use the pressure of public opinion to force Lockhart to submit.

In contrast, those students who only invested a few copper nats did not react much. Although for some of them, the few copper nats were not too small, but seeing those who invested hundreds or thousands of gold galleons, People have lost so miserably, but they feel much better in their hearts, and even the joy of schadenfreude overwhelms the depression of losing money.

It really corresponds to that sentence, a small amount of pleasure can cause great harm to the body.

However, no matter how these people cursed Lockhart and Ludo, they remained unmoved. Under the temptation of huge profits, they had ignored the possible impact of this matter.

As Lockhart announced that the final was officially over, the giant badgers and giant eagles above the amphitheater also flew towards each other, but this time they did not attack each other, but rubbed each other in a friendly manner, and They all flew to the podium representing honors.

At this time, the representative creatures of the other two major colleges, the giant snake and the giant lion, also appeared together, chasing the figures of the eagle and badger to the medal podium, but their bodies were smaller than the latter two. A full circle.

The staff also came to the backstage to inform Bruno and Willy to come on stage to receive the award. However, just when the staff happily informed Willy and Bruno of the news, something embarrassing happened.

Willy actually snorted and walked away, leaving Bruno at a loss.

Bruno was originally not eligible to go on stage to receive the award because he lost to Willy, who had money ability, in the previous third-place match. However, since Mike and Cedric tied for first place, his ranking also changed. Became third.

When Bruno came to his senses, he ignored the staff's dissuasion and left the amphitheater. As the current president of the male student union of Hogwarts, he was not a fool, so he naturally understood that he would go to award the award alone as a "lucky jin". Accepting the award in Taiwan will definitely be regarded as a laughing stock by everyone in the school.

As a result, the beasts representing the four major colleges, who had not been waiting for their true master for a long time, seemed to be a little impatient after hovering over the podium for a while. They directly began to transform, entangled with each other in mid-air, and formed a Hogwarts image. Shield-shaped school emblem.

However, this should have been the most solemn scene in the duel competition, but now it has become the funniest moment, because none of the four award-winning contestants came to the stage to receive the award. This made people standing at the podium holding trophies and flowers ready to give Lockhart and Ludo were sweating profusely in embarrassment as the contestants presented the awards.

In the end, he had to leave the field hastily amid roars of laughter from everyone in the stands.

But everyone in the Hogwarts School's infirmary knew nothing about what was happening in the amphitheater at this moment. In fact, they were so anxious at this moment that they had no intention to care about what was going on in the arena.

In Cedric's ward, a nauseatingly strong smell of burnt meat and barbecue filled the entire ward. Cedric, who still maintained the form of a giant honey badger, was lying on a huge bed. Small streams of dark red blood were constantly seeping out of his body, and soon the entire snow-white state was dyed dark red.

Large areas of burnt black burns and countless wounds caused by explosions and shattering spells were all over Cedric's body, leaving almost no good flesh on his body. As for his fur, it had already been burned away in Mike's sea of ​​​​fire.

Mrs. Ponfleur is anxiously discussing treatment plans with Professor McGonagall and others, but they have been unable to come up with any effective method.

As mentioned before, physical injuries are not really a big deal in the wizarding world. What doctors in the wizarding world are most afraid of encountering are the weird curses and mental injuries. These strange illnesses cannot even be mastered. The wizards who have mastered magical magic are helpless.

The complex injuries caused by Cedric's out-of-control human transfiguration and severe physical damage are no easier to treat than lifting an unknown and powerful curse.

In Mike's ward, Soraka, a girl with freckles and huge black-rimmed glasses, was leaning over Mike's bed and observing the wound on Mike's chest.

I don’t know how long it took, but Soraka seemed to have finally decided on the treatment plan. A flash of light suddenly flashed on her thick glasses, and then she saw her slender hands reaching directly towards the huge breasts on Mike’s chest. Wound, grab the edge of the wound and pull hard!

There was only a soft pop as the wound was opened, and almost the entire chest of Mike was exposed to the air.

At this moment, Soraka was completely immersed in her work. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned into a creepy arc. Her eyes covered by thick glasses were full of fanaticism, and her little hands stained with blood moved from With a twitch in his waist, he pulled out the wand and pointed it at Mike's chest.

"Clean up!"

As the curse was uttered, a small gust of wind blew up in Mike's chest, sweeping away all foreign objects including broken bones.

What does it feel like to have a miniature tornado raging inside your chest?

No one can tell clearly, after all, this kind of thing is too magical.

But one thing everyone can be sure of is that it must hurt!

Ever since, under the stimulation of this level of severe pain, our Mike couldn't stop the cold sweat from sliding down his temples, and the eyes under his eyelids were also turning crazily, and he was about to wake up.

However, our Miss Soraka still didn't notice this. She kept moving her hands and quickly took out a bottle of dark green strange potion from the cabinet beside the bed and poured it directly into Mike's chest.

"Bah~"

As soon as the dark green potion was poured into Mike's chest, it reacted violently, making a strange sound similar to cold water being poured on magma.

This time, Mike finally woke up and opened his eyes weakly. The first thing that caught his eye was a face covered with freckles and wearing a pair of thick black glasses.

However, he had no intention of thinking about the identity of this girl at this moment, because at this moment, there was an unimaginable pain in his chest.

Mike forced his weak body to raise his head and look at his chest. It was okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, Mike was stunned.

Because his chest had been completely opened at this moment, he could even see his heart beating slowly inside.

This is not the scariest thing. The most bizarre thing is that the broken ribs and damaged organs in his chest are growing rapidly at this moment, and the white and blood-red granulation and bone buds are twisting wantonly. This bizarre scene makes Mike's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Soraka, who was still concentrating on studying Mike's chest, finally noticed Mike's suddenly accelerated heartbeat, turned her head to look in the direction of Mike's head, and met Mike's gaze.

The two of them stared at each other in silence. After a few seconds, a red cloud floated onto Soraka's cheeks, and an indescribable shame surged into her heart. Then Soraka screamed and slapped her. Threw it in Mike's face.

Poor Mike was slapped again by Soraka before he could react from the shock of seeing the scene inside his chest, and he fainted again with tears in his eyes.
