Chapter 507 507. Leaving Beauxbatons

As Scott made his choice, the writing on the parchment slowly faded, and then two new lines of writing emerged.

[Selection completed.

The virtual alchemy experimental bench is on! ]

Kaka...

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical rotation, the huge experimental platform in front of Scott was instantly divided into several pieces, twisting like a Rubik's Cube.

Soon, the experimental bench was reorganized and reappeared in front of him.

Scott found that the surface of the experimental bench had changed drastically.

The original reddish-brown countertop turned into pure black, and the utensils and stone slabs placed on the countertop were gone.

[Please select the alchemy array]

A line of prompts appears on the black countertop.

Scott stretched his fingers across the table and selected one from the dazzling array of alchemy arrays.

As he made his selection, the alchemy formation instantly expanded, moved to the center of the table, and began to rotate slowly.

[Please select alchemy materials]

Scott then selected a few more items from the available materials.

Soon, the material he selected appeared directly on the table.

Scott tried to reach out and touch the material, but found that it was just a phantom.

It's like a holographic projection.

"I see."

Scott knew what the so-called virtual alchemy experiment was about.

He followed the prompts and moved his fingers on the countertop to move the materials into the alchemical formation.

After that, start setting the temperature of the virtual flame according to the prompts.

The alchemical experiments began immediately.

After several tests, Scott was delighted to find that the hint on the parchment did not lie.

The virtual alchemy test bench can indeed simulate most alchemical reactions 100% and can also accelerate the reaction process.

This made Scott jealous.

If you can have such an experimental bench, you can save a lot of materials and time when practicing alchemy.

No need to be tempted like that fake magic stone, Scott already wanted to move the experimental bench in front of him home!

This feeling of arbitrarily squandering all kinds of precious materials and testing all kinds of conjectures is really... so exciting!

It's a pity that he can't do this.

Scott, who was very sensible, sighed.

Since you can’t get it, make good use of this time that you can use to your heart’s content!

Scott quickly eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the alchemy experiment.

Until a crisp bell rang.

Scott glanced at the watch on his hand. Two hours had passed.

"The last warrior has completed the challenge." Professor Russell's voice sounded, "Come out."

The door to the alchemy laboratory opened.

Scott reluctantly left the alchemy experiment table and walked out of the laboratory.

He found two more doors on one side of the wall, and Fleur and Krum came out of them.

Seeing that the two doors had exactly the same door number with [Lemay Alchemy Laboratory] written on them, Scott was already sure that he had been deceived.

What he entered was not the real [Lemay Laboratory] at all.

In the living room, Professor Russell had stood up from the sofa.

"follow me."

He turned around and walked to the other side, reaching out to open the heavy curtains.

What is exposed behind the curtain is an elevator.

"test……"

A mechanical female voice sounded.

A portrait of Professor Russell is outlined on the metal door of the blue light elevator.

"Auguste Russell."

"Identification confirmed."

"Adopted."

The elevator door slowly opened and Professor Russell walked in.

The three Scotts followed him and also entered the elevator.

"Start rising."

The lift began to move, but then stopped again.

As the door opened, Scott found that they had returned to the lobby of the Alchemy Museum where the audience was.

What greeted them was deafening applause and cheers.

Scott waved towards where the Hogwarts delegation was.

"Let us welcome the three warriors! And the facilitator of this round, Professor Russell!"

Mr. Jolly's voice sounded a little hoarse, but he still kept shouting.

"This round is over!"

"The next step is the most exciting part!"

"The five members of the referee panel, including me, will rate the performance of the three warriors in this round!"

"After the scoring is completed, the winner of this Triwizard Tournament will soon appear!"

"The champion will not only add honor to his school, but he himself will also receive a cash reward of up to one thousand gold galleons!"

With Qiao Lixian's passionate shouting, the cheering voice of the audience suddenly rose to a higher level.

After a while, the scoring process officially began.

"First of all, points are given to the last warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"She is, the warrior from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Fleur Delacour!"

Mr. Jolly explained and took the lead in raising the wand in his hand.

A huge number [8] rises.

Next came Mr. Lefebre.

He also gave it 8 points.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Maxim gave 8 points.

Professor Hartmann gave it a score of 7.

Dumbledore gave 8 points.

Mr. Jolly announced loudly, "Miss Delacour scores this round, 39 points!"

In the standings, Furong's total points have become 128 points, temporarily ranking first.

"Next, let's rate the second warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"He is, the warrior from Durmstrang Magic School, Viktor Krum!"

Mr. Jolly gave Croom a 9.

Mr. Lefebre, also 9 points.

Madame Maxime glanced at Professor Hartmann and gave him a score of 7, triggering boos from the Durmstrang delegation.

Dumbledore raised his wand and showed the number [9].

In the end, Professor Hartman directly gave 10 points.

Of course, he received boos from the audience.

"Mr. Krum scored this round, 44 points!"

The standings changed again, and Krum's total points became 129 points, surpassing Furong by one point and temporarily ranking first.

"oh……"

The Beauxbatons students all sighed in annoyance.

"Next, we will rate the first warrior to complete the challenge in this round."

"He is, Scott Trollope, the warrior from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Mr. Jolly gave Scott a straight 10.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lefebler, Mrs. Maxim, and Dumbledore all gave 10 points.

Only Professor Hartmann has yet to give a grade.

He raised his wand, seeming hesitant.

At this moment, a uniform shout came from the audience.

"10 points!"

"champion!"

"10 points!"

"champion!"

"10 points!"

"champion!"

They are Scott's classmates.

They shouted and shook their fists at Professor Hartmann.

In fact, Scott's championship was already secured at this time.

Even if Professor Hartman gives 0 points, he is still the overall winner of the three rounds.

But apparently, Scott's companions didn't think so.

They had long been dissatisfied with Professor Hartman, who had always given unfair grades.

[10]

Perhaps because he understood that his score could no longer influence the ranking, Professor Hartman finally gave 10 points amidst the shouts of everyone.

"Congratulations!"

Mr. Jolly led the applause.

"Congratulations to Mr. Trollope for getting a perfect score of 50 points in this round!"

"I guess it's not what anyone expected."

"Mr. Trollope's excellence is obvious to all!"

"Congratulations to him!"

"Congratulations Hogwarts!"

Amid continuous applause, Scott topped the standings with a total of 144 points.

"Congratulations, Scott."

"Congratulations."

Fleur and Krum both politely and generously gave Scott a hug.

Next is the award ceremony.

Behind Scott and the others, the elevator sank into the ground and a stone platform rose.

Exciting music sounded, and countless colorful ribbons and flowers fell from above.

Mr. Joly and Madame Maxime came down from the jury.

They respectively represented the two organizers, the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and handed a trophy and a Gringotts check to Scott.

"Congratulations, Mr. Trollope!"

Mr. Jolly hugged Scott warmly.

"You are the best young wizard I have ever seen!"

He made no secret of his admiration for Scott and took photos with him in front of reporters' cameras.

"Congratulations."

Mrs. Maxim also bent down and hugged Scott gently.

"What a shame, Mr. Trollope."

She said in a sincere tone.

"I noticed that you have a strong talent for alchemy. You really should have come to Beauxbatons to study."

"Thank you." Scott replied politely, "Hogwarts is also very good."

"Of course, I don't mean to disparage Hogwarts."

Madame Maxime straightened up gracefully.

"But as far as I know, there is no alchemy class at Hogwarts, is there?"

"You're right." Scott said helplessly.

Hogwarts really lacks this course.

Madame Maxime smiled slightly, "You are still in the sixth grade. If you want, you can transfer to Beauxbatons for your final year."

"ah?"

Scott looked up at her in surprise.

Mrs. Maxim still smiled friendly and continued to persuade Scott.

"You have already experienced it, the virtual alchemy test bench of Lemay Alchemy Laboratory."

"If you transfer here, I can make the decision and be open to you."

"One year is enough for you to take a big step forward in alchemy."

"In addition, there is no need to worry about the N.E.W.T. exam. The certificate issued by the French Ministry of Magic is also used in magical societies around the world."

At this point, she lowered her voice.

"You should understand that coming to France will also allow you to avoid the chaos in England."

Scott felt Mrs. Maxim's sincerity.

He smiled and said: "Thank you for the invitation. To be honest, I am indeed a little tempted, but..."

He still shook his head.

"As you said, Britain is in chaos now, and I should contribute to this instead of escaping."

Mrs. Maxim was stunned when she heard this, raised her huge palm and patted his shoulder gently.

"Oh, you're a good boy."

She said quite movedly.

"In that case, I won't say any more."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Scott thanked again.

"My invitation will remain valid as long as I am the headmaster of Beauxbatons."

Madame Maxime said again.

"Even if you have graduated from Hogwarts in the future, you can choose to come to Beauxbatons to exchange and further study alchemy."

"I will consider it carefully." Scott said solemnly.

Madam Maxime nodded.

After the noisy award ceremony, Scott finally got rid of the annoying flash and reporters and walked with his classmates.

Everyone was very excited, congratulating Scott tirelessly, and taking turns to hold the huge trophy.

"I guess it will be placed in the trophy display room on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle!"

Fred held the [magic mirror] in his hand to shoot the trophy, and said loudly to Scott.

"In the future, students who are punished to do labor service will be responsible for cleaning it and then look at your name!"

Scott didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No need to look at it, I'm still alive."

"I think it should be placed in the common room of Ravenclaw." Roger said.

But his statement was opposed by everyone.

Ethan kept patting Scott's shoulders.

"This is an honor for Hogwarts, and of course, for Ravenclaw!"

He was so happy that he kept grinning.

Everyone surrounded Scott and the trophy and walked out of Beauxbatons Castle and returned to the Hogwarts Tower on the lawn.

Fred shouted, "When are we going back to Hogwarts? I can't wait!"

"Don't worry, we'll go back now."

Dumbledore suddenly walked in from the gate of the tower.

"Can we go back now?" Fred asked in surprise, "No goodbyes, no farewells?"

"Oh, they're already here."

Dumbledore motioned them to look outside the gate.

At this time, Madame Maxime had led the students of Beauxbatons to the lawn.

Scott also saw Lucio waving at this side.

On the other side, the Durmstrang delegation also boarded the ghost ship docked by the lake.

In this way, with the farewell of the teachers and students of Beauxbatons, the members of the Hogwarts and Durmstrang delegations each took magical transportation to leave the beautiful Beauxbatons.

In the tower that was lifted into the air, Scott and his friends stood in front of the window of the hall, looking at the Pyrenees Mountains that were gradually moving away.

"Oh, I will miss this place."

"Me too."

"This is a perfect journey."

"You are right."

The girls were all a little sad.

The tower rose above the clouds and flew towards Britain under the traction of the Thestrals.

In the following time, Scott and his friends began to hold an aerial banquet in the hall on the first floor of the tower to celebrate the victory of the Triwizard Tournament.

The hardworking house elves enthusiastically served a variety of delicacies.

The atmosphere in the tower became joyful again.

Until Ethan's sudden words broke the joyful atmosphere.

"I want to remind you." He said, "When we go back, the N.E.W.T. exam is waiting for us in the seventh grade."

Cedric followed, "The sixth grade will also take the Apparition Qualification Exam, oh, of course, there is also the end-of-year exam."

The hall became quiet.

A few seconds later, everyone screamed again.

"Oh!"

"No!"

"It's over!"

"Damn it, why did you remind me!"

"This isn't true..."
