New Professor at Hogwarts

200 Force points? !

Xia Ran was startled, then overjoyed. Without hesitation, she even said in her heart: "Absorb!"

Then a curtain of light appeared on his pupils.

…

[Force points: 0~10~15~20~~].

…

The number of Force points is beating violently, and Xia Ran's heart is also burning. With these 200 Force points, his magic power has been promoted to level 6, and there is no obstacle.

"Maybe I can jump to level 6 (medium)..." Xia Ran secretly thought, her joy almost beyond words.

He still controlled himself and didn't show it too obviously.

200 Force points, which is several times more powerful than the ancient magic items he has absorbed before, such as Ravenclaw's crown, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Resurrection Stone, etc. Points.

Xia Ran whispered in her heart: "Could it be...that the Goblet of Fire was related to the exchanges between European magic schools for centuries before? This is far more than a purely legendary thing, but it has little interference in reality and has not promoted anything. Several ancient magic items have far-reaching significance, so the number of Force points has increased several times?"

He didn't know the reason, but he roughly had his own guess.

…

[Force points: 200 points].

…

Xia Ran exhaled slowly, and finally absorbed all the 200 force points contained in the Goblet of Fire. However, it was not a good time now. He would not start to improve his magic power here. He would definitely wait until he returned to the office.

"There should be nothing wrong with the Goblet of Fire, right?" Xia Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyes to stare at the wooden goblet, only to see that the blue-white flame was a little dim. Compared with the brightness of the flame just now, it was like the sun at noon. The gap between the setting sun at sunset.

"It should be fine... right?" Xia Ran whispered and scratched his head. The Goblet of Fire only serves to select warriors. Some minor injuries probably won't affect the overall situation... right? !

He carefully put the Goblet of Fire into the box again.

At this time, the auditorium suddenly became quiet for a while, without the previous clinking of knives, forks, plates, and wine glasses. It was obvious that everyone had finished dinner and had begun to make the final announcement.

Xia Ran stood by the door of the auditorium, looking at Dumbledore who stood up and walked to the staff table to speak.

"The moment has finally arrived." Dumbledore said, smiling at the upturned faces. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I want to explain a few words first, and then bring the box in..."

He saw Xia Ran standing at the door and the old wooden box he was holding in his hand. He was slightly startled, why was it Xia Ran? Not Administrator Filch?

Dumbledore quickly put it behind him and continued: "I want to explain our activity procedures for this school year, but before that, please allow me to introduce two guests, because there are still people who don't know them. This is Jack Mr Rom Barton, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Ministry of Magic."

There was sparse applause in the auditorium.

"This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore continued.

The applause given to Bagman was much louder than that given to Button, perhaps because he had made a name for himself as a batsman, or perhaps just because he was much more relatable in appearance.

Bagman waved his thanks cheerfully, but when Jerome Barton's name had been introduced, Barton had neither smiled nor waved.

While Xia Ran was absorbing Force points outside, these two senior officials from the Ministry of Magic entered the auditorium from another side door and sat next to Dumbledore.

"Over the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Barton have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said with a smile. "They will be working with me, Karkaroff and Maxim Together, the ladies will form a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors.”

As soon as they heard the word warrior, the students seemed to be more attentive, all staring at Dumbledore eagerly.

Dumbledore seemed to have noticed their sudden silence. He smiled slightly and said, "Professor Frémont, please bring up the box."

No one noticed that Xia Ran had just walked out of the auditorium and was now staying in the shadows next to the auditorium door.

They all turned around and saw Xia Ran walking towards Dumbledore, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewelry. The box looked very old.

The students watched with fascination and discussed with interest. Many students who were short or underdeveloped simply stood on their chairs and peered around in order to see more clearly.

It's just that they are too short after all. Even if they stand, their heads are not much higher than others.

Xia Ran placed the box on the table in front of Dumbledore. Without looking away, she calmly walked to her seat behind the staff table and sat down. She was even in the mood to take a sip of wine.

"Mr. Barton and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for this year's Warriors competition." Dumbledore said. "They have also made many necessary arrangements for each event. There are three events in total, one in Taking place at different times throughout the school year, they will test the warriors in many different ways...testing their talents in magic, their courage and their ability to reason, and of course, their ability to overcome danger!"

After hearing the last sentence, the auditorium became silent, and it seemed that everyone stopped breathing.

"As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition." Dumbledore said calmly, "The three warriors each represent a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event. After three events, Finally, the warrior with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. The person responsible for selecting the warriors is a fair selector, and it is... the Goblet of Fire!"

Having said this, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped the lid of the box three times. The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached in and took out the wooden goblet.

The cup itself was not eye-catching at all, but there was a blue-white flame dancing inside. However, the brightness and concentration of the flame seemed a bit unexpected, and it seemed dim and dull, as if it would be extinguished soon.

"This..." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and looked sideways at Xia Ran.

Xia Ran's face was calm, mixed with a bit of confusion, as if he knew nothing about the situation. He felt that there was no one who was better at acting than himself.

He secretly praised himself in his heart.

"Ahem..." Dumbledore coughed lightly, looked away, and placed the Goblet of Fire on the lid so that everyone in the auditorium could clearly see it.
