Chapter 511: This Isn’t What Was Promised
Chapter 511 - 511: This Isn’t What Was PromisedKanna spent most of Sunday buried in the library, tirelessly flipping through books to help Kyle prepare for the upcoming Dragon challenge. Despite Kyle's repeated reassurances that she didn't need to go through the trouble, she remained undeterred.
"I'm so nervous; I have to keep myself busy," Kanna said firmly, plopping a hefty book on the table. Its cover displayed a fierce Hungarian Horntail, its wings spread wide above a line of gilt script.
She pored over the text, flipping through the pages with focused determination,
"Well... that's about it!" Bagman said cheerfully. "Take a few minutes to calm yourselves down." He moved to distribute the quills. "Hold onto these carefully. If you miss the start time and fail to enter the arena, you'll be disqualified..."
"Wait a minute," Fleur interrupted suddenly, her voice cutting through the room's quiet tension.
Bagman turned toward her, his brow furrowing slightly. "What is it?"
"Don't we need to draw lots?" Fleur asked, her tone a mix of confusion and unease.
"Draw lots?" Bagman repeated, puzzled. "There's no need for that. All the events are identical; the only difference is each Champion's starting position... But if you'd prefer to draw lots..."
He quickly retrieved a cloth bag, placed the three identical quills inside, and handed it to each of them in turn.
Fleur drew first, her fingers hesitating slightly before pulling out one of the quills. She stared at it, her expression uncertain as she glanced between it and the others.
What's going on? she wondered. There's no Dragon, no bypass task... This isn't what Madame Maxime described to me.
