Chapter 353 Rules of Item 3
The coordination between Leno's two magics was remarkable, and all the teammates at Hogwarts were sweating for Sean.
"It doesn't matter, you still have higher points." Fu Rong comforted her.
"I can afford to lose. I'm just worried that if there is a similar solo event again, who can stop him." Leno said.
However, as soon as Leno finished worrying, Thickness brought him good news.
"Now I will announce the personal points after the two competitions." Thickness said while looking at the parchment in his hand.
In fact, everyone can calculate the points of each player by paying a little attention.
Thicknesse ranked the points from high to low.
8 points in the first tier, Paul, Watson, Leno.
The second tier has 6 points, Joseph, Sissi, Ogudo, Marton, as well as 2 Durmstrang players and 1 Babston player.
The third tier has 5 points, Sean, Fleur, Krum, Dusana, as well as 1 player from Durmstrang and 1 player from Babston.
The fourth tier has 4 points, 2 players from Durmstrang and 2 players from Babston.
The fifth tier has 3 points, 2 players from Durmstrang, 1 player from Babston, and Harry Potter.
2 points for the sixth tier, Penelo, 3 Babston players
1 point for the seventh tier, Chrissy and Cedric.
"The above is the score of the 30 players." Thicknesse said in the tent, and the projection in mid-air outside also announced the score ranking.
The expressions of several people at Hogwarts were not very good, especially those at the end of the crane who only got 1 and 2 points.
"Now, let me explain the rules of the third game. The third game is called Ghosts and Hunters."
The players were all surprised. In the previous two competitions, the content and rules were announced before the start, but now they were announced in advance.
"It feels a little bad."
"I never told you in advance."
"What should we do? We are at the bottom in points."
"Quiet! Quiet!" Thicknesse shouted at the top of his voice, "The third event is the team competition."
This is good news for Leno and Dusana. No one can control Sean in one-on-one. At least they can think of some strategies to target him in the team competition.
This news is barely comforting for Chrissy, Cedric, Penelo, and Harry, who are at the bottom of the standings.
However, they were all happy too soon, as Thicknesse began to explain the rules of "Ghosts and Hunters".
"The grouping of the teams is determined by points. There are 6 people in each group, a total of five groups. Each group takes turns to be ghosts, and the remaining 4 groups act as hunters to catch the prey arranged by the organizing committee."
Some people became uneasy after hearing this, especially the first sentence, what is meant by grouping is determined by points.
"Excuse me, how did the grouping come about?" Penello asked.
"The organizing committee will divide the groups into balanced groups based on points. The list will be announced before the competition, but I can tell you that the group members may not be your alumni."
"What do you mean? You want us to form a team with those guys?" Joseph said frankly as he looked at the players from Durmstrang and Babston.
"What did you say? Be careful what you say, do you think we want to team up with you?" a boy from Babston shot back.
Seeing the players quarreling below, Thickness stopped him and said, "Quiet!"
"This is a test for you. Is the warrior who finally lifts the Goblet of Fire a coward who can only stay in his comfort zone? Are you afraid of teaming up with opponents and strangers? You are not even willing to challenge it, and why? Talk about the Goblet of Fire."
"Do you know that in previous Goblet of Fire tournaments, the warriors who participated had to face the danger of death?"
The players were speechless after being scolded by Thicknesse. Of course, it is the most comfortable and reassuring to stay with one's own people. Whether it is the level of trust or tacit understanding, it is impossible for a random stranger to compare. .
But the Goblet of Fire ultimately selects a warrior to hold it. As Thicknesse said, a warrior should face the challenge head on.
"Each ghost has 8 casting opportunities to attack the hunter. The hunter who is hit must stop moving in place for 15 minutes. Only when the time is up can he continue to move."
"If a teammate touches you, you can lift the ban in advance, but if you are caught by a ghost for the second time, you will be given a red card in this round. One round lasts for 1 hour, with a total of 5 rounds. When the time is up, you will switch to the next group as ghosts. "
"If you don't want to be caught by ghosts, you can hide in the safe area. After catching the prey, you need to put it in the hunting box."
Thicknesse basically explained the rules of the game, and also wrote some details on the rule description, which was sent to every player.
"This ghost's spell seems to be a warning." Sean said while looking at the rules.
Because "ghosts" can only use the petrification spell, and this level of magic is basically 100% resistant to top students, and they will not be petrified if hit.
But the rules say that if you are caught by a ghost, you must stop moving in place. So what if you don’t admit that you were hit and ran away? Some players raised this question.
"This situation will not exist. We will prepare before the game starts." Thickness said.
"There is something very important to be announced now." Thicknesse stared at the players below with a serious expression, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"There are a total of 6 competitions in this Cup of Fire. After the third event, 6 people will not be able to participate in the Cup of Fire. This means that the 6 players with the lowest points will be eliminated."
As soon as these words came out, the hairs on the hairs of those at the bottom of the ranking stood up instantly, and Cedric tugged on Chris with a wry smile.
"We are the last two, and the third game may be our last game in the Goblet of Fire."
Harry and Penelo were also anxious to death, which made Sean feel a little guilty. If the first competition hadn't been targeted, they wouldn't have gotten the lowest initial points.
"I said, don't be so frustrated, the final groupings haven't come out yet." Sean said.
"But Thicknesse said that the groups must be mixed with other schools. If the group members deliberately let the water fall apart, we would be dead," Harry said.
Sean patted Harry and comforted him, "Although we are teaming up with them, but if we are with Watson or Leno, these two guys are not easy. As for letting go, unless they don't want points anymore."
Now the players all know the importance of individual points, and those at the bottom are in danger of being eliminated.
"Before the group list comes out, I suggest you get to know each other about the players from other schools, so that you won't be able to recognize your teammates when you are grouped together," Thicknesse reminded.
Players from Babston and Durmstrang all complained, and a few of them made it very clear that they did not want to form a team with the Hogwarts team.
"Isn't this cheating us? Their points are so low, don't deliberately hold them back when the time comes. You are going to be eliminated anyway, and you will have to drag a few back up."
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about? People also have ambitions, okay? Why are you deliberately holding back? I think it's just that your abilities are limited."
"That is, don't think so bad of the weak. It's not what they think if they are not strong enough."
The contestants from the other two schools talked about Hogwarts in a weird way, and their harsh words made Harry and the others feel ashamed and angry.
"Have you said enough? You like to say, come and have a private chat with me." Sean stood up and faced the players from the two schools.
