"Mahoutokoro School of Magic"

*DING DING DING*

The trio were silent upon their seat, the huge noisy crowd shut their self up, fixing their improper positions, some sitting on the tables, quickly sitting themselves to the long bench behind them.

Coincidently, the large bell ringed as Justin was explaining what he's reading for a while. The large Great Hall gates opened magnificently for some reason.., showing the professors in their own businesses walking upon the middle lane as they observe each students, now sitted in their own houses. Justin and Tasia was quick to jump to their tables surprisingly.

Elliot looked at the professors who entered hall, along with some guest that he haven't seen before. With strange outfits, two middle aged men with one elderly woman that can be possibly already their mother. One man was wearing a fur of a certain animal, with his large viking word in the back, with brown thick beard as well as his broad eyebrows. He looks like a total viking guy. The other one looks proper. A wizard robe with his belt holster in his slender waist, with a round glasses, his looks were normal. The elder one totally looks grand. Everything she wears yells 'wealth'.

They were all lined up behind the Headmaster Dumbledore, who was smiling a bit, along with the three professor Snape, McGonagall, and Flitwick.

The atmosphere turned grim in a bit, the tension was real and no one dared to even move nor speak. The steps of the walking wizards were only the sound within the Great Hall.

Elliot carefully tried to remember anything that can relate to the guests, who are definitely in another race.

They don't look British at all. Asian... Korean..Indian? Or something?

He didn't really study that much outside the borders of Europe so he wouldn't know. He just shut himself up helpless unfamiliar with the guests. But that wasn't the matter here. Recalling back... there wasn't a scene like this back then. This didn't happened. But he isn't really sure about it. Maybe he just forgot it or anything. If not, then... is the butterfly effect kicking in now?

He just gulped the pumpkin juice that was lingering in his throat for a while, staring still as the professional wizards sat at the grand table supposedly for them.

"Hey, who's the weird guy over there?"

"Are we getting a new professor soon?"

"Look at them, you can feel they're strong right?"

As the silence was gone, the students started gossiping to themselves as Dumbledore stared at them helpless. Picking a spoon that he always uses, he hit the glass of water repeatedly as everyone stopped, gathered by him for attention. First blink, second blink....

"Everyone," The low elderly voice of the man echoed throughout the hall with a bit eerie tension. Elliot looked at Justin who was totally nonchalant while Tasia there who isnt paying attention continously annoying her seatmate.

"Here we have our esteemed guest from far away land. Please give them the right manner and treatment like how would you treat your professors." Dumbledore pointed his palms to the three guest who smiled slightly, not genuinely though, except for the elder woman.

"This three are one of the high ranking workers of the Bureau of Magic Affairs. Here... to give some advance notice of the event our fellow wizarding school, Mahoutokoro School of Magic."

It was quiet. Rarely someone knows what's going on at all. But hearing the last words, many students got their nonchalant attention piqued, as the very magical Japanese school is one of the best magic schools out there aside from Hogwarts itself. Many eyes now stared at the three guests.

But Elliot had his eyebrows arch. Is it really what Justin just read? If he remember right, Mahoutokoro stood at the top as the Battle Of Hogwarts met its end.

Because of the economic losses of the battle, the second ranked Japanese School made its way to the top. But Hogwarts soon change to a better condition once again defeating the Japanese.

"Hello," all of a sudden, the viking guy spoke up inviting himself to the front, smiling as he waves his hands directed to us. Surprisingly, his voice was light, funny like actually. Not what would you expect from a viking eh?

"My name is Phil, Deputy Chief of the Magic Affairs. I know, it's a surprise for us to have a sudden visit like this." The man, Phil, smiled widely, even with his big beard covering it up. Elliot rolled his eyes, yeah, surprise. A big surprise that is his fault since he came to this world bringing the butterfly effect.

"There, that four eye gentleman is Rayne and our first in command, is Chief Delhi. And our main cause of going here is the upcoming tournament that the Asian Ministry of Magic had created, Wizarding Olympian Games."

Elliot crunched his mouth inwards. What the fuck is that? Is that some mythology shite or something?

Many howled in confuse amusement. It sounds interesting but they don't really understand what it is. The seventh years are the one who got their curiosity at the top. They're usually the one who always participate in such tournaments. None of them have been on one yet, but that's small matter if you're strong.

('So it is indeed the one Justin read..') Elliot hunch is really right. Problem is, he doesn't know anything about such thing. It was never studied in the past, nor even happened. He mostly have read about things in Europe, so coming to Asians, the only thing he knows is that they always eat rice.

He looked to the crowd where they were all having some expectation smile.

"Anyway, we have a lot of matters to settle back in our work. We will make this short as there's your Headmaster to explain it again. So here we go," Phil backed off the front, inviting the glasses guy, Rayne, to come for the explanation probably.

The 'guy' Rayne adjusted his glasses, looking like some smarty who has superiority complex. Letting a cough or two, he started with his very grungy voice, stern like McGonagall and silent yet strict like Snape.

"The Wizarding Olympian Games is an event that comes every after 10 years. It's not a tournament that only has few participants from one continent like Triwizard or so. It's a highly anticipated tournament that gathers hundred of student wizards from all of the selected schools every event. It's been 80 years since Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry had been picked to join such thing."

There was a bit of distaste in his voice, like Hogwarts was never supposed to be pick, a forced pick perhaps.

"That's why we expect great candidates to be joining for the tournament. "

He cleared his throat once again, taking out a piece of parchment that is rolled, opening it as he reads.

"There are 20 schools from all over the world that is expected to participate in the event. With 6 student candidates being taken from each. That means, even if youre from the same school, you could still be their enemies. The tournament details will be explained at the very day of the event," he looked at the audience that was eagerly and attentively listening to him surprisingly. He snorted as everyone didn't even bother to notice. Their heart was excited for such thing.

"Now... how will be the 6 candidates from this school will be picked?" " Rayne creepily smile at the crowd, the parchment suddenly burning into ashes, falling onto the floor as the student body exclaimed in flabberglast and disbelief.

" Easy. 3 students will be from any year of 1st to 4th. While the other 3, from 5th to 7th," as he ended his explanation, he, Rayne, stood proudly, dropping his arms to the side of his chest as he bowed professionally, turning around to his back as he goes close to his company.

"Ehem. Hm, excuse me?"

Out of nowhere, a voice pop up midst the silent hall. Justin. It was Justin who stood up, his hands in the air as he uninterestedly unafraid of the "esteemed" guests. Everyone cup their mouth, finding it hard to see a daring kid from ravenclaw.

The four eyed Rayne seems in displease tone as he ask turning again. "Hm?"

"Does that mean everyone can, and have to participate?"

Rayne smirked, pushing his glasses up, "Can, yes, have, no. And your indeed right. As we, the Bureau of Magic Affairs believe that if you have the right talents and hardwork, you can defeat the impossible itself. And those people can just exist everywhere."

Gulping, everyone turned around to Harry who was obviously the one being directed by that statement, being the young one that saved the Wizarding World.

Pity they don't realize they're looking at the wrong person.
