Chapter 176： Victory (two in one)

What is the feeling of hypoxia?

I believe most people will think of drowning, asthma and other extremely painful symptoms when they see this problem.

But in fact, the hypoxic state caused by the thin outside oxygen is a very special feeling.

For example, in an environment where the air is thin at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the first thing people feel is warmth and dizziness, and then there will be an inexplicable sense of excitement, and at the same time they become extremely confident, without any pain at all.

Most pilots have experienced this feeling personally. The same is true for smokers, but the symptoms are much milder than the former.

Because a large number of smoke particles rush into the lungs during smoking, the body's oxygen intake is reduced, which causes a slight brain hypoxia.

This feeling of dizziness and airiness is also called fainting.

What's ridiculous is that many people who have just started smoking even find this feeling very comfortable, but they don't know that this is actually the body warning you to stop this harmful behavior immediately.

At this moment, Willie's hypoxia is much more serious than the aforementioned.

"Am I going to die?"

Looking at the flames swirling in front of him, Willie murmured.

"No! I won't die! I have the protection of the Putekte ring! I am invincible!"

A sudden excitement surged in my heart, and Willie was so happy for the first time since he grew up.

I saw it struggling to get up from the ground, standing in the center of the flame and laughing loudly at the endless flames around him.

The sight is getting blurred, the surrounding flames have turned into an orange-red light wall in Willie’s field of vision, and those flames that constantly lick the transparent shield have turned into evil spirits. Flame-like monster.

Willie turned a blind eye to the expanding cracks on the transparent shield and the Ring of Putek, holding up his wand laughing wildly and firing spells at the beasts.

The barrage composed of a large number of spells smashed the large flames away. Although more flames will fill the previous vacancies soon, Willie is still very excited. In his eyes, those "horrible flame monsters" They have all turned into nothingness under their own attack.

The little bat on Willie's shoulder desperately scratched Willie's cheek, trying to awaken his mad master, but this was just useless. The hallucinations caused by hypoxia in the brain have completely made Willie lose his mind.

Through magical perception, Mike has a panoramic view of what happened in the fire tornado.

To be honest, the power of this fire tornado has exceeded Mike's estimate.

Once a fire tornado tens of meters high is generated, the oxygen in the center of the fire tornado will be swept away in an instant, and the enemy in the center will be affected by the brain in just a few minutes in this almost zero oxygen environment. Death due to lack of oxygen.

Of course, ordinary enemies can't survive that time. After all, in addition to lack of oxygen, the temperature in the center of the fire tornado is also terribly high, and ordinary people will be burned to ashes as soon as they enter.

In addition, even if Willie is so energetic now, he can even release the spell.

But this is entirely due to the fact that he drank a lot of potions before the start of the game, which led to an increase in physical fitness. Normal people have no ability to move at all under hypoxia.

Thinking like this, Mike was also secretly anxious.

Why hasn't the referee declared his victory until the game? Why haven't those professors on the sidelines come up and forcefully terminate the game?

You must know that if this continues, Willie will become a fool even if he doesn't die. If you don't have enough oxygen for too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain. Mike doesn't want to bet at that time.

And outside the field at this moment, Snape and a group of professors were staring at the flame tornado rising into the sky on the arena.

Naturally, the scene in the fire tornado can't hide them, but they have been deceived by Willie's vigorous state at this moment where they understand the harm of hypoxia.

Wizards, especially those who have lived in the wizarding world since their childhood, dismiss the science of the Muggle world. In their opinion, magic is everything.

Because of this concept, they even reject anything in the Muggle world, so many wizards lack logical thinking, reverse thinking, and common sense.

So why not eat meat is ubiquitous in the wizarding world, and there are even many pure-blooded wizards who still stubbornly think that the earth is a chessboard.

And Snape was actually a ghost in the wizarding world, at least his level of logical thinking was quite high.

The puzzles he created in the plot of the original Philosopher's Stone are nightmare-level puzzles for most wizards. Because wizards have not received logic education, their brains cannot be turned around.

But for Muggles who have received a complete education since childhood, this puzzle is not very difficult, at least a top student like Hermione who graduated from elementary school can solve it.

Unfortunately, even though Snape was already a genius among wizards, he did not realize the seriousness of the situation before him.

————————————————

Seeing the nonchalant professors in front of him, Professor Flivy's brows were all furrowed together.

Mike had discussed this fire tornado curse with him, so he also learned about the concept of hypoxia from Mike, but the group of colleagues in front of him obviously didn't know it.

After hesitating again and again, Flivy is still preparing to forcefully terminate the game. Although this may be said to favor his own students, it is nothing compared to letting Willie die on the field.

However, some people don't want him to do this.

"Are you a student who wants to favor yourself?"

Seems to have discovered Flitwick's actions, Snape said coldly.

"Severus, the overall situation is set, let's end the game."

"I don't think so, Filius. Willie is protected by the Ring of Putek, and Mike can't hurt him in a short time. With Mike's magic power, how long can he last such a mighty fire tornado?"

Looking at the cheerful Snape in front of him, Flivy was a bit bitter to laugh. At this moment, he really had the urge to ignore the matter, but after thinking of Willie's accident, it might affect Mike. Pressed down on this thought.

"Listen to me, Severus. This magic spell Mike used to study with me. Its real effect is never to kill the enemy with high temperature, but to lack of oxygen!" Flivy explained happily, "Flame Burning consumes oxygen, and Willie is in a state of hypoxia. Hypoxia! Asphyxiation, you know?"

Snape's smile froze on his face when he said this.

He is a mixed race who has lived in Muggle society since he was a child. He still understands oxygen and suffocation, although he didn't understand that flame burning would consume oxygen because he didn't learn about Muggle after graduating from primary school The principle, but this does not affect his understanding of the seriousness of the matter.

"Are you serious? Felius!"

"Of course, there is no time, act fast!"

Seeing Professor Flitwick's serious expression, Snape no longer hesitated and directly announced the result of the game.

"Mr. Tangley, please stop your behavior, you won this game!"

Because of the vocal curse, everyone on the scene including Mike heard Snape's somewhat anxious voice.

Hearing this, Mike breathed a sigh of relief, and the magic and mental power consumed to maintain the fire tornado was quite terrifying, and now his magic and mental power were about to bottom out.

Hastily put down the magic wand, interrupting the supply of magic power to the fire tornado.

The fire tornado that had lost the supply of magic power became a sourceless water without roots, and in a flash, it turned into a little spark and dissipated in the air.

Willie in the fire tornado appeared in front of everyone, and saw that the transparent shield covering the whole body was already full of cracks at this moment, and it seemed that it would collapse in the next moment. And at the moment, he is also stubborn, with drool and nose all over his face.

The sudden disappearance of the flame obviously made Willie a little uncomfortable. While looking around blankly, he greedily breathed the oxygen-rich air. The scorched air seemed to him to be sweeter at this moment. .

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Mike's body not far away, and the memory lost due to lack of oxygen finally began to slowly recover.

Willie raised his wand tremblingly, as if he wanted to continue fighting.

However, Mike didn't give him this chance, and knocked him out as soon as he raised his hand and passed out. What he needs now is treatment instead of fighting.

"Um, although I don't know why, Professor Snape announced the result of the game, and Mr. Townley successfully advanced to the final!" Lockhart in the suspended attic said embarrassingly, "It's a pity the player Willie, I hope he won't Something."

After Lockhart officially announced the result of the game, the stands finally boiled up. Ravenclaw and the little wizards of Gryffindor stood up and applauded like crazy. The former was happy for Mike, and the latter was indeed gloating. Slytherin missed the final just like them, making them very happy.

Hufflepuff’s students are also applauding. They have always been neutral. Now they are just being polite and applauding for Mike.

In contrast, the reactions of the Slytherin students were very interesting. They fell into a strange silence, and then seemed to react suddenly and began to breathe fragrance.

They didn't understand why Snape wanted to announce Mike's victory. They didn't care about Willie's life or death. All they cared about was honor.

Willie failed, lost to Mike, a second-year student, and lost the qualification to advance to the finals. This also represented the sweeping honor of Slytherin, which they could not accept.

But whether they can accept it or not, the fact is that Mike won.

The light blue giant eagle above the Ravenclaw stand screamed up to the sky and let out a sharp eagle. Then the giant eagle fluttered its wings and rushed towards the Slytherin stand opposite.

The huge wings obscured the sky, and the Slytherin students in the stands couldn't help closing their eyes as they watched the giant eagle rushing towards them.

However, the target of the Great Eagle is not them.

A pair of giant claws grabbed the giant snake above the Slytherin stand, and the sharp claws on the giant claws easily broke through the giant snake's scaly defenses and got into the flesh.

"hiss!"

The giant snake let out a painful cry, turned to bite towards the giant eagle. However, there was a fierce glow in the eyes of the giant eagle, and the eagle's beak shining with cold light pecked down like lightning, accurately hitting the eye of the giant snake.

The long eagle's beak pierced the brain from the eyes of the giant snake, a large cloud of light and mist gushed out from the wound, and the giant snake disappeared from people's eyes in an instant.

And after absorbing the floating light and mist, the entire body of the giant eagle swelled in a circle, and now it was facing the giant badger, which had also swelled a lot.

"Today's game is finally over. The winners are Ravenclaw's Mike and Hufflepuff's Cedric!" Lockhart announced excitedly, "I want to know who is stronger between them. Is it? Stay tuned for next week’s duel contest finals! By the way, Bruno and Willie will also compete for third place in the finals next week."

Amid the cheers like a mountain whistling and a tsunami, Mike's eyes were firm, and he slowly walked up the platform step by step.

A golden throne on the high platform was waiting for him.

"I knew you could."

Cedric, sitting on the other throne, saw Mike walking towards him, and stood up and applauded.

"Of course, we have made an appointment to fight again, right?"

After that, the two of them laughed, and they are not acquainted with each other Even in the first grade, Mike still had some conflicts with Cedric because of Dolphin's affairs, but now, the two People have become friends.

Cedric walked up with open hands and gave Mike a hug.

"Congratulations!"

The scene where the two embraced was shown to all the audience through the magic projection on the scene, and all the professors present smiled when the relationship between the two was so harmonious.

If the relationship between Mike and Cedric is tense, it will inevitably cause a confrontation between Ravenclaw College and Hufflepuff College, which will have a great negative impact on the order of Hogwarts.

The academy's hatred opposition is no joke, just look at Gryffindor and Slytherin.

These two colleges have been fighting each other for so many years. Not only do their students often fight and violate school rules in the school, but they also fight when they meet outside the school.

In addition, this kind of academy hatred has even been brought after graduation. Many people who graduated from Gryffindor and those who graduated from Slytherin look at each other for their entire lives and look for opportunities to stumble upon each other. .

And now it’s better. The harmonious relationship between Cedric and Mike means that the relationship between Ravenclaw College and Hufflepuff College will not become tense because of the duel competition, but may become better because of it. This is what the professors want to see.

Mike and Cedric on the high platform on the other side obviously did not expect so much. They walked down the high platform together, and Cedric smiled and asked:

"After a fight, I feel a little hungry now. Would you like to go to the kitchen with me to eat later?"

"No." Mike said while rubbing the raven pendant between his neck, "I have more important things to deal with."
