Chapter 398 396. Landing

After being completely covered by the lake, he could no longer chant spells. The body-drenching spell was a magic that he had mastered in the last few months. He could use it normally, but he had no way to cast it silently.

Jon knew what choice he should make immediately.

Anyway, he had already completed the original mission to enter the Black Lake. The results were not important to him who had already won the first place in the first project. Now he could only go back and consider it a success.

Because he did not stop at all, he started to swim upstream after making up his mind, and more and more venomous snakes kept approaching him, constantly exploding and filling the surroundings with a dark green liquid!

These snakes were not only targeting Jon. In addition to the group that was specifically biting him, there were more magic snakes pouring out of the Slytherin common room and rushing towards all directions of the Black Lake.

During the process of floating up, Jon also tried to use the universal antispell on the ring, but it still had no effect on these snakes.

Fortunately, he was proficient in the Armor Spell and had no problem casting spells silently, so he could continue to reinforce himself under the constant destruction of the magic snakes around him, giving him enough time to rush out of the Black Lake.

Jon was very fast. He drowned in the water in his previous life, so he would not die so easily in the water in this life.

When he saw the thick ice above his head, he raised his wand with both hands again.

Casting spells silently, a huge explosion instantly made the surrounding lake water boil, and even the magic snakes that had always been entangled around Jon were broken into dark green liquid under the explosion.

But soon these dark green liquids reorganized into the form of snakes, but at this time Jon had already rushed out of the water!

The place where he rushed out of the Black Lake was close to the lawn where the Hogwarts Castle was located. The lawn was full of students from the castle, and many of them had already started betting on who would be the first person to come out of the Black Lake.

Among them, the most people bet on Draco, followed by Daisy, then Emil, and finally Jon.

Many people thought that Jon would do the same as he did in the Forbidden Forest this time, and would still focus on getting points, and the speed of completing the race would be secondary, so basically no one thought that he would be the first to finish the race.

Draco had the most people betting on him, because some people thought that he would most likely be eliminated first.

However, when the ice on the shore exploded, no one could have predicted it in advance. Many students were hit by the splashing ice and screamed while retreating in a hurry.

Jon jumped out of the lake, climbed onto the ice, and then gasped.

He looked back behind him, and the magic snakes were not rampant enough to follow him ashore, but the originally dark lake water turned dark green at this time, and it seemed that the turmoil in it did not end because of his departure.

Of course, the students did not see that Jon was actually chased out by someone, and everyone's first reaction was why did he come back so soon?

Could it be that he had found more than five pearls to confirm his first score?

The referees waiting by the lake certainly noticed that Jon had returned to the shore. They walked over quickly. Jon cast a spell on his wet robe, which was not too cold because of the protection of the soft shell of the fire ash snake, and looked up at Dumbledore.

There was no special look, everything was self-evident.

"Are you going to end the game, Mr. Green?" Matthew asked loudly.

Jon also took out the only pearl he had knocked from Draco's hand from his pocket.

"I've already landed on the shore. I definitely don't have the chance to continue the competition. Of course, I have to end the game."

The scene became a little quiet. Everyone present looked at the pearl in Jon's hand with a strange expression. Soon the students on the shore reacted and burst into quite enthusiastic cheers.

Although they all felt that if there were no accidents at the beginning, Jon would most likely still be the first in this game, but after all, Jon and they were not on the same side. As long as they were enemies, they would naturally not have a good face.

Now even if he finished the game first, he only got one pearl back, so the score would not be high. Doesn't that mean Draco and Emil can get a high ranking?

In the face of their cheers, Jon didn't care. Neither he nor Dumbledore thought about how good the second project was. As long as they won the last project, it would be fine. The key was that they had to complete the tasks in the plan and get more benefits and advantages. What's more, these students were happy too early.

Snape, the referee, still had that face without any emotion, and people couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment. But Bulstrode couldn't hold back his inner joy. He didn't know whether Jon was careless or did it on purpose, but this time was undoubtedly an opportunity for Emil.

As long as Jon's score in the second project was 10 points for the last place, and 40 points for the first place to finish the game, there would be only 50 points in total. Such a score would probably be the second to last or the last place.

If Emil had fought hard and finished the game second, he would have the highest score. 70 plus 30 is 100, and the scores of the two are basically the same.

That is to say, Jon's advantage in the first event is gone, and they are standing on the same starting line at the beginning of the third round!

This certainly made Boster excited.

But soon, Jon's next words to Matthew cooled his heart.

"For some reason, there was a riot in the Black Lake. There were strange snakes that attacked people when they saw them. If they couldn't be killed, they would explode. I suspect that the castle wanted to cheat!"

Jon turned the tables without saying anything.

Anyway, Voldemort himself was not here. Who would have known that there would be such magic words in the Slytherin common room before?

Since no one knew, and this Black Lake was under the jurisdiction of the castle before, it was his turn to throw dirty water as he wanted?

His words made the scene quiet again, and the students around heard it and were spreading the news privately.

Soon, there were whispers on the lawn. Many people did not believe Jon's accusation at all, thinking that he was making excuses for his mistakes in the game.

But in fact, Jon really didn't care how many points he could get in this game, because no matter what, his ranking would not be low.

There is one thing that many people have forgotten, but he has not forgotten it.
