Chapter 586: Jerry's Appearance (First Update)

The Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon is not only covered in pitch-black scales but also bristles with bronze spikes, including on its tail.

While being hit by the tail of other Fire Dragons might result in severe injuries, being struck by the spiked tail of a Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon is a death sentence.

The body would be riddled with holes.

In addition to its formidable close combat abilities, the Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon has the longest flame range of any Fire Dragon, second only to the Chinese Fireball Dragon, exceeding fifteen meters.

The Chinese Fireball Dragon spits fireballs, a single-target attack that can be dodged if one is quick enough.

However, the Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon’s flame attack is a wide-area assault. If you’re within fifteen meters, you’re as good as cooked.

Moreover, the Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon has the sharpest eyesight of all Fire Dragons, capable of clearly seeing an ant from hundreds of meters away.

Trying to approach it undetected is virtually impossible.

And it has a particular taste for human flesh.

"The Hungarian Tree Horned Dragon, such a little cutie!"

Jerry pulled out a small model from a cloth bag. Unlike the other two, who were breaking out in cold sweats, Jerry smiled and playfully poked the palm-sized Fire Dragon model in his hand.

In his eyes, whether it was the model in his hand or the real Fire Dragons outside, they were indeed little cuties.

Upon hearing Jerry’s words, Krum and Fleur both frowned.

Cute? They doubted they would still find it cute when they faced the real, adult Fire Dragons outside.

Now, they felt they might have misjudged Jerry. He wasn’t just brave; he might just be a foolhardy and brainless idiot.

"Alright, you’ve all chosen your Fire Dragons. When you hear the whistle, enter in the designated order. I need to leave to provide commentary for the audience."

After giving final instructions, Ludo turned and left the tent.

Krum and Fleur, holding their Fire Dragon models, grew even more tense.

Less than two minutes after Ludo left, a whistle sounded outside. Krum took a deep breath, grabbed his wand, and walked out.

Instantly, various sounds filled the air: the audience’s screams, shouts, and gasps, Ludo’s excited commentary, and the terrifying roars of the dragons.

Hearing these sounds, Fleur became even more nervous and began pacing back and forth in the tent.

Finally, a deafening cheer erupted outside, clearly indicating that Krum had completed his task and secured the golden egg.

A few moments later, the whistle sounded again, and Fleur, trembling all over, slowly walked out with her wand in hand.

"Oh, I’m not sure this is a wise move!"

"Oh… just a little more! Be careful… oh my, I thought she had it!"

Ludo’s commentary followed.

Ten minutes later, the audience erupted in cheers once more, clearly showing that Fleur had also successfully retrieved the dragon egg.

At this point, Jerry retracted the clone he had sent out to watch the competition.

Bored with waiting in the tent, Jerry had created a clone to invisibly follow Krum when he left.

Thus, he had witnessed the entire competition involving Krum and Fleur.

Krum’s approach to dealing with the Chinese Fireball Dragon involved a Blinding Charm, a technique often used by dragon tamers and taught to him in advance by Karkaroff.

This is one of the few Magics that can affect Fire Dragons. Although it can't harm them, it can temporarily blind them.

However, an unexpected incident occurred. The Chinese Fireball Dragon, unable to see, became agitated and thrashed about, crushing half of the dragon eggs used for the competition.

This led the referee to deduct some points from him.

The total score was fifty points, and he scored thirty-eight. Karkaroff, shamelessly, gave a perfect ten.

Maxime gave six points, Dumbledore gave eight, and Ludo and Bagman each gave seven.

It was quite normal. Ludo and Bagman gave fair scores, Dumbledore's was a bit higher, Karkaroff was clearly biased, and Maxime, adhering to the principle of competition, gave a lower score.

Jerry thought that if Snape had been the referee representing Hogwarts, he would have given a four or five.

From the time Snape was the Head of Slytherin, it was clear that he wasn't a fair person. Regardless of right or wrong, it was never Slytherin's fault, and he wouldn't have deducted points from Slytherin.

Similarly, now that he was the Headmaster, he wouldn't let his school suffer.

For the witches of Hogwarts, this might not be a bad thing. At least they wouldn't feel cheated.

After all, the competition wasn't very fair to begin with. If you didn't show favoritism, the other two school heads certainly wouldn't hold back.

If the three champions were evenly matched, or even if Hogwarts' students were stronger and could have won, but lost due to such reasons, it would be unfair to the warriors who had given their all for their school.

But sometimes Jerry could understand Dumbledore's choice. Because he was Dumbledore, he couldn't act like the other two heads.

Fleur faced the Welsh Green Dragon next. Relying on the Welsh Green Dragon's aversion to trouble, she approached it stealthily and, taking advantage of its distraction, cast a hypnotic spell.

Fleur has Veela blood, and Veelas are naturally endowed with enchanting and hypnotic Magic. Therefore, when Fleur cast a hypnotic spell, it had a significant enhancement effect.

She successfully hypnotized the Welsh Green Dragon, causing it to slowly close its eyes.

Unfortunately, as she hurried to steal the dragon egg, her nervousness led her to neglect proper protection. She was burned by the flames the sleeping Welsh Green Dragon emitted while snoring.

In the end, she managed to extinguish the flames with a water jet spell, but she was left in a rather disheveled state.

Thus, her final score was thirty-six points.

Maxime gave nine points, Dumbledore gave nine points, Ludo gave seven, Bagman gave seven, and Karkaroff gave four.

Currently, Krum leads with two more points than Fleur, placing first.

It's not that Krum performed better than Fleur, but rather that Karkaroff is clearly less concerned about his reputation than Maxime.

"Now, let's welcome our final champion, Mr. Carmen!"

As the whistle blew, the outside erupted in the loudest cheers.

It couldn't be helped; this was Hogwarts. Apart from the twenty-odd students from the other two schools, a few journalists, and some Hogsmeade residents, the majority of the audience were young wizards from Hogwarts, giving them a home-field advantage.

Amid the cheers, Jerry walked out of the tent and, guided by Ministry of Magic staff, passed through the iron gate to the Fire Dragons' enclosure.
