Chapter 663: Scoring and Tearful Hibiscus

At the same time as the four warriors returned in turn, several judges in the audience also gathered to discuss, arguing for about five minutes, before Bagman, as the commentator, stepped to the front of the stage, cleared his throat and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after careful review by the judges, we will reveal the final score of each warrior ......"

"First up is Mr. Victor Krum, who overcame the problem of underwater breathing using an incomplete transfiguration.

But it's a pity that Mr. Krum was unfortunately knocked out by the mermaid after the start of the game and failed to complete the rescue mission, so I can only give Mr. Krum a single evaluation! ”

As he spoke, Bagman shot a beam of light into the air, which exploded after half a sound, and the "one" on it was very eye-catching.

Crouch, Dumbledore and Maxim next to him didn't do as much as Bagman, but gave a friendship score - four points!

Karkarov's face was terrifyingly dark, but he quickly raised the sign - seven points!

"It's cheating!" Hermione scolded angrily.

Not only her, but the other students on the field spoke out to accuse Karkaroff of shameless cheating.

Even several referees frowned.

"I think Krum's transfiguration is very good, far beyond the level of his peers! Although he was knocked out by a large number of merfolk during the game, it was just an accident and does not mean that we should erase his efforts! Karkaroff defended Krum with great dismay, deaf to the doubts of the crowd, as if he had not heard them.

Considering that Krum's score was already low, Bagman didn't bother to argue with Karkaroff, and directly announced Krum's final score - a total of twenty points.

Bagman then turned his attention to Fleur and began to talk about her experience in the game. "Alright, next up is Lady Fleur Delacul, the warrior of Beauxbatons! She showed us how well she used the Bubble Head Charm during the tournament and managed to escape the merfolk's pursuit......"

"Wait, Mr. Bagman!" Fleur interrupted Bagman's words with a sudden remark.

"What's wrong? Do you have anything to say? Ms. Delacour? Bagman looked at her in amazement.

Fleur took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Ivan on the side, and said in a hoarse voice. "I don't think you noticed that I promised Mr. Ivan Hals to give up the second game when I was at the bottom of the lake, and you don't need to score for me."

Bagman's brows furrowed, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, so he quietly discussed it with Dumbledore and the others.

The little wizards sitting in the audience were also whispering.

In particular, the Beauxbatons students glared at Fleur with dissatisfaction, they thought that Fleur's initiative to give up the second game did not consider the consequences at all, which would make Beauxbatons lose face and completely lose the chance to win the championship!

In the face of all kinds of doubts and insults, Fleur pursed her lips, her expression was a little gloomy, but she still insisted on her thoughts.

Ivan, who finally got rid of Gabrielle, was also looking at Fleur, he didn't expect that the other party would be able to keep his promise and take the initiative to cancel the evaluation of the score.

However, Ivan didn't carry this pot, he didn't want tomorrow's Daily Prophet to have an extra report, saying that he took advantage of the danger to force Fleur to withdraw from the competition on the condition of rescuing Gabrielle, so he said loudly.

"Miss Delacour, I'm afraid you've forgotten that I never agreed to your request, so strictly speaking, that's not counting, and you didn't give up the game!"

"Also, if you have to score zero, what does Mr. Krum do? Doesn't he have to be like you? So even if you don't mind, you have to take into account Mr. Krum's feelings, right? Ivan said eloquently, and motioned for Fleur to look at Krum, who had been unconscious until now.

Ivan's words surprised everyone present, and the entire paddock fell into silence for a moment, and after a few moments, more and more people applauded Ivan's tolerance and generosity.

Only Durmstrang's cadets looked ugly—they always felt that Ivan was taking advantage of the opportunity to discredit Krum.

"Mr. Hals is right, and the principals agree that the competition is too difficult, and even the Warriors who failed to finish the game have a very good performance, so we are still willing to rate Ms. Delacour's performance on the field!" Bagman said with a smile.

"Also, I need to emphasize that the Goblet of Fire will not allow the Warriors to give up the game in the middle of the game! No matter what happens, you have to fight to the end! Dumbledore also looked at Fleur solemnly at this time, and said in that bell-like voice.

Dumbledore's words undoubtedly completely vetoed the possibility of Fleur's withdrawal, and then entered the normal scoring process.

Since Fleur spent more time underwater than Krum and had some great performances against the mermaids, the score was a bit higher than Krum's, with a total of 27 points!

"Thank you... Thank you! Fleur said excitedly, she looked at the judges in the stands, then at Ivan, tears streaming down her face.

Bagman didn't wait for Fleur to calm down, but went on to announce Harry's score.

As the only two Warriors to clear the game, Harry's score should not be low.

But by the time he returned with Ginny, it had run out of time, and the second half of the game relied on Ivan to get through the dangerous Aquatic Jungle and Mermaid Square, which Karkaroff grabbed to push Harry's score to thirty-nine.

When Bagman read out the scores, Hermione, Ron, and the others in the audience all looked very angry, they thought that Harry should be able to get more than forty points!

However, Harry himself was satisfied, as his score was more than ten points higher than that of Fleur and Krum!

"Finally, let's reveal the final score of the Warriors Ivan Hals!" Bagman smacked his mouth, stretched out his hand to Ivan on the shore of the lake, and continued impassionedly.

"Mr. Hals completed the race perfectly, in fifty-seven minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and showed us his high moral demeanor by saving Miss Delacour and her hostage Gabrielle!"

"After discussion, the judges unanimously agreed that Mr. Hals's performance was impeccable, and the final score was 50 points!"

Bagman shouted hoarsely, because he was worried that Karkarov would make trouble, he didn't give the judges a chance to vote at all this time, but directly announced that Ivan had cleared the level with a perfect score!

(PS: Here I recommend a new book "I'm really not her apprentice", the protagonist is at the end of the mountain, apprenticed to the first fairy Bai Zirou, the author is a serious person, and does not step on the brakes.) )
