Southern France, Pyrenees.

The Busbaton Magic School is hidden among the mountains and valleys, surrounded by majestic magic gardens and unfreezing fountains, and has stood here for more than seven hundred years.

‘The British Ministry of Magic has not responded to the riots at the Quidditch World Cup and has not yet given a satisfactory reply, which makes us wonder whether they can shoulder the heavy responsibility and host a crucial ancient event…

This newspaper reprinted some of the views of the British "Prophet Daily": The Ministry of Magic (Note: refers to Britain, not France) is addicted to the assumption of peace and cannot extricate himself, loses enough vigilance, and has been relaxed for many years, and the black wizard is away from justice. The Ministry of Magic (Note: simultaneous) has long become fragile, just like a staggering old man, step by step towards the grave, we urgently need the addition of fresh blood...

...

It is not difficult to see that British wizards have also lost confidence in their country's Ministry of Magic. Perhaps, in this year's competition, they will see the charm from France.

It is worth mentioning that the wizard Felix Hepp, who shined in this crisis, was in the pride of France, at this time, he had a close relationship with the principal, Ms. Olim Maxim, and accepted an invitation to visit the school. He is also one of the school directors of Boothbaton and is reported to be involved in the selection of Warrior candidates...'

Felix closed the French Magic Daily and muttered, "It's all nonsense, school is not yet open." He put the newspaper aside and focused on his breakfast - French croissants, orange juice, fruit platters and cookies.

As the newspaper said, on the day the Quidditch World Cup ended, he accepted the invitation from Mrs. Maxim and visited the Busbaton School. Although the school has not yet started, there is not a single student. Some students who are interested in running for the Warriors applied to stay in school.

The news in France is relatively open, not as hard as the UK keeps the news so hard that these students have mastered the truth or false information.

There are rumors that the number of warriors in each school may change, not one, but four. The students were discussing at the square dining table as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and a little girl retorted seriously that each school would send three people to form a team to participate in the project.

But no matter what, many people are full of thoughts. If there is only one candidate, most students will give up. However, as long as there is a second possibility, many people feel that their hope will be increased tenfold in an instant.

So every student Felix sees of Boothbaton now is a Warrior seedling in the Championship and a real elite.

There are also reports that the principal of Ifamoni suggested that a five-school exhibition match should be held before putting the candidate's name into the Goblet of Fire, so that others will not be in vain. This proposal was strongly supported by Vagado - there were too many students in their school, and it is said that the number of people who signed up on the school alone exceeded one thousand!

The students in Vagado are more than the students in all three magic schools in Europe.

Among these three schools, Hogwarts has the least number of students, because it mainly recruits qualified students in the UK. Other places do not accept them, but basically will not send invitations. Most of the students in Boothbaton come from France, and a small number of students from Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. As for Demstrong, located in Northern Europe, the students also span more than one country, such as Germany and Bulgaria.

But when it comes to the most famous school in Europe, the first thing that comes to mind internationally is Hogwarts. Especially for nearly half a century, Albus Dumbledore, who served as the principal of Hogwarts, has single-handedly deterred two generations of Dark Kings, defeated and imprisoned one of them, and pushed this prestige to a new high.

...

The dining table in Boothbaton Auditorium is very distinctive, with a square dining table, each side can accommodate five or six students to sit. The dining table is decorated with exquisite golden and blue patterns, and the center of the dining table is like a candlestick with a vertical decoration hanging from clusters of flowers.

Not far from the square dining table, opposite Felix, two Boothbaton students kept looking at him quietly.

They whispered in French, "... so young, they became school directors..."

"I heard that he is the heir to Mr. Nick Lemay."

"Why is his hair black?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Mr. Nick Lemay's hair was brown when he was young, and I've seen his portrait... the last name doesn't match. Could it be his distant nephew?"

"Or relatives from Ms. Perenal?" They chattered, talking louder and louder.

"Slowly!" said one of them, and they looked around for a while, and saw that Felix had no reaction to the conversation between them. He was studying the various fruit jams on the table, spreading them one by one on the bread to try the taste, and he was relieved, "Maybe he doesn't understand French."

Then they talked about the topic of the competition-

"How is your magic practice?"

"Sloppy, the professors found the spell that was the most frequent appearance in previous competitions, and let us use it for reference. I only mastered one-third..."

"That's not bad, Professor Sanchez said that my reaction was always half a beat slower than others, and there was little hope of being selected." The girl said sadly.

At this time, a girl walked towards Felix lightly and said in French: "Mr. Hepp, Mrs. Maxim invites you to the professors' afternoon tea party."

"Thank you," Felix said in standard French, and he stood up and bowed slightly to the two stunned girls beside him. "For your previous questions, the answer is: Nick and I are not related to blood, I just inherited his alchemy."

...

"Hello, my name is Furong, Furong Delakur." The girl who led the way walked in front and turned around and said that she had long silver hair like a waterfall.

"Hello, Miss Dragul, I've heard your name a lot these days."

"I hope it's not a bad reputation. I can't get along with those girls. They complain that I stole their limelight!" Furong shook her long hair, and the surface of her silver hair was jumping with a bright arc of light.

"They think you are the number one candidate for the Warriors."

"Oh, this is the truth." Furong said confidently, "I will definitely become a warrior."

Busbaton was like a palace group, and the two walked through the exquisite suites, between the promenade and the side hall. Felix stopped for a moment at the talisman horse raised in the garden.

They have beautiful silver manes, each of them as big as an elephant.

"This is a talisman horse with beautiful lines, especially their manes. I think it is the most beautiful of the four types of Pegasus. They are very strong and will pull the school carriage across the straits and mountains at that time." Furong said showing off.

Felix nodded slightly, "Mrs. Maxim introduced me to me, and she said that there were many kinds of spells on the carriage, especially concealing spells and floating spells."

Madame Maxim was waiting in a French aristocratic reception room. When Felix appeared, she stood up to welcome him, and more than a dozen French professors stood up.

"Mr. Haipu, sit here - my dear, thank you." She said to Furong, who left with brisk steps.

Madame Maxim introduced Felix: "This is Professor Sanchez, responsible for the summer spell training for students. This is Lemel, she is responsible for the potions, this is Boyer, who is very good at herbs and alchemy... To be honest, I don't know if the use of alchemy items is allowed, but it's better to prepare in advance."

Felix nodded and smiled at them, "I have communicated with Professor Boyer, and his achievements in alchemy are amazing."

Boyer - an old professor with white hair and thin body, said tremblingly: "This sentence should be transferred to Professor Happ intact. I can't imagine that although he is young, he has learned all kinds of ancient magical creations and solved many problems for me."

The professor named Sanchez couldn't wait to ask: "Professor Hepp, what do you think of the students of Boothbaton? I heard that Hogwarts is not preparing for summer training. Is it possible that he will win?"

"There is a bit of confidence, but-" Felix looked at the others, "This class is different from the past. With a new school joining, I guess the difficulty of the game will increase a lot."

"That's right," Sanchez nodded and scratched his big red beard. As a professor in charge of students' summer training, the subject he was responsible for was similar to Hogwarts's black magic defense, deliberately collecting relevant information.

At this moment, he said with confidence: "The difficulty will definitely be adjusted. After all, we have to consider the performance of other schools. It is hard to say whether it is to improve or decrease. The first time we probably don't have much experience. Unlike before, there were only three schools, we are all familiar with each other..."

He asked tentatively: "Ifamoni and Vagado are coming in full force. Is there any countermeasures for Hogwarts?"

The other professors were stunned for a moment, then stared at Felix intently. Felix shook his head: "I don't know much about other schools. The only thing I can do is to improve the abilities of students in our school. I am more optimistic about some people, and they have huge potential..."

"That's right..." Sanchez was a little unwilling, "But you can't be the first five-time champion, and the championship was taken away by outsiders, right?"

The other professors nodded secretly. Although this was a bit xenophobic, the three schools belonged to Europe after all, and were vaguely considered as an alliance. Although there was competition between them, the relationship was actually good.

But if Ifamoni or Vagado win the championship in the end, it will undoubtedly be a very shameful thing for the wizards in Europe. They will be scolded so much that they can't raise their heads.
