Diana stayed for a few days so that Zhao Mai could teach her to use magic, but it turned out that she could not learn any magic. The wand had no response to her, and the same was true for the flying broom. Even drinking the potion would be ineffective because of her strong physical resistance. Diana envied others for the first time, including Ado, who could easily use magic.

She found that all her abilities were basically given by the gods, but there was almost nothing that really belonged to her. Zhao Mai comforted her, "Your strong fighting determination and your will qualities belong to you, and these are the most important parts of a person. You just regard other combat abilities as tools."

But even with Zhao Mai's comfort, she would still be sad. So she stayed for less than half a month and left for Greece to see the "Pacas Magic School". "Since it was a task assigned by the gods, it was necessary to do its best. Maybe there would be some way there." Diana said this when she left. She did not say goodbye in a lingering way, nor did she reluctantly give up. She smiled and waved her hand and then flew away.

The short winter vacation has finally ended, and the first thing to do in the new semester is to select players. Since this "New Era Wizard Youth Competition" is held on the basis of the "Witcher Triumph Championship", in order to reflect a longer sense of history, the Goblet of Fire is still used to select players according to tradition. However, this time, the Goblet of Fire will go to each school in turn, each school will only stay for half a day, and finally select the participating players together. Because a global trip is too time-consuming, the Goblet of Fire will only travel around the European continent. Schools in the Americas, Africa and Asia need to send people to Europe to cast the list.

Zhao Mai was the first to go to the school hall early to see the Goblet of Fire. After all, it was a powerful magic item that was famous for a long time. The British Ministry of Magic sent two Aurors, and the countries at the previous and next stops also sent an elite Auror to protect the Goblet of Fire and prevent anyone from cheating. There was news that some radical wizards in the Allied Germany and Turkey were unwilling to fail and be excluded, and were ready to destroy this conference. Although this news was not so reliable, the wizards of the Allied Powers must not want to have an accident because of relaxing their vigilance and embarrassment.

"You should take the initiative to attend this event." Dumbledore's ten fingertips were paired with each other, hanging in front of his waist. His sharp dark blue eyes looked at Zhao Mai: "This is a very rare opportunity, and it is probably the only chance you will participate in the competition at Hogwarts."

"Professor, do you think I should participate?" Zhao Mai smiled and took out a note: "Since you think so, then my choice should be correct."

"That's great, I've been thinking about how to convince you." Dumbledore's eyes were curved and he smiled happily: "I found that you are a student who doesn't like to show off and is often too conservative. Of course, this may also be related to your age and experience, but since you are in Hogwarts and going to school with young people, you should be young!"

"Thank you for your concern, but I was not like them when I was as old as them, and now I don't know how to look young."

"Don't young people do something brave, frivolous, but funny and relaxed? For example, shave off all your eyebrows and hair?" Dumbledore touched his beard and shook his head: "I have to say that you are better than me. Even when I was young, I didn't have such courage."

"You can try it, it's really cool." Zhao Mai himself couldn't help but touch the top of his head. When he was bald, he felt very different from his usual touch. He felt a novel and unfamiliar feeling. Sometimes he even mistakenly thought that it was not his head.

This is very strange. Zhao Mai used his natural transformation into other creatures and would not feel unfamiliar with him. However, he would be like this if he lost his hair.

"Go and throw your name in," Dumbledore said with a smile.

Zhao Mai walked forward, and the four Aurors glared at him silently, then made a gap. Zhao Mai stretched out his arms and threw the note with his name and school into the goblet of flame. The blue flame gently wrapped the note and slowly swallowed it into the mouth of the golden cup.

"Are you the eighth grader?" One of the Aurors guarding the Goblet of Fire held his glasses and suddenly spoke: "I know your name, but this is the first time I have seen you. You should have graduated, not stayed in Hogwarts."

Zhao Mai looked at him, and the true intention of his words could not be seen from his cold and serious face. Is it that the Ministry of Magic's handling method was unfair, or did he think that Zhao Mai's decision was a mistake when he represented Hogwarts in the game? The other three Aurors blinked and the corners of their mouths shook slightly.

"What you said really makes sense." Zhao Mai choked hard and then walked back to Dumbledore. "Professor, do you have any inside information about this competition?"

"Of course not." Dumbledore said with confidence. "I've been busy adjusting the Goblet of Fire with a group of magicians to allow it to accommodate more schools and students, rather than just three. How could I have time to listen to the venue and project of the competition? It's impossible."

"What is impossible?" Zhao Mai and Dumbledore slowly left the hall where the Goblet of Fire was placed, and away from the four guards.

"Of course I can't know that the venue of the game is located in Atlantis, nor do I know that the game will invite dragons and Titans." Dumbledore held his glasses and said softly: "There are too many things I don't know."

After they walked away, students came to the Goblet of Fire one after another. The lower-grade students looked at the upper-grade students with curiosity and envy, and everyone who threw their names would get everyone's applause. Barbara ran over panting, complaining that Suzy's speed had severely slowed her down. She grabbed the Gryffindor student beside her and asked with her eyes wide open: "Did Mike Longhou throw his name in?"

"I didn't see it." The student said to her.

Barbara asked several people, and they all had the same answer. "No, he said he would participate?"

"Has he changed his mind temporarily?" Susie was also a little surprised.

"No, he is a person who keeps his word." Barbara waited for a long time, and it was almost time for class, and she had to leave. Barbara made a fuss in her heart, wrote Mike's name on the note, and threw it in under Auror's gaze.
