The second task of the Triwizard Tournament had been revealed.

🧜‍♂️"Come seek us where our voices sound..."

Most champions werestressing outabout how to breathe underwater for an hour. But not Raja. Oh no.

Raja wassipping butterbeer, watching asHarry struggledwith the golden egg.

Harry:"It's just screaming! What kind of clue is this?!"

Raja:"Try listening to it underwater, mate."

Harry:"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT SOONER?!"

Harry finally got the clue. Meanwhile, Raja was busy designinga next-gen magical Maskfor hisbig entrance.

The night before the task,Dobby arrivedin dramatic fashion, carrying agolden box.

💥Inside: The Ocean Conqueror Potion—Raja's latest invention.

Dobby (proudly):"My lord's potion makes youAquaman for an hour! Swim like a shark! Breathe like a fish! Talk to sea creatures!"

Harry (in awe):"He INVENTED this?"

Dobby (smirking):"Yes, and before you ask, no, you may not sell it."

The champions gathered at the lake.

🏊‍♂️ Viktor Krum waspartially transfiguredinto ashark hybrid.

🧙‍♀️ Fleurattempted a charm(which didn't seem to work).

⚡ Harrygulped Raja's potionanddove in like an Olympic swimmer.

💥 And Rajastood there.

🔥🔥In nothing but shorts, a sleek black mask, and his rippling abs on full display.🔥🔥

Studentsgawked.

Parvati (whispering to Padma):"Is it legal to look that good?!"

Padma:"It shouldn't be."

Dobby, who had somehowhijacked the magical speakers,introduced Rajalike aboxing announcer.

💥💥"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PREPARE TO WITNESS THE FUTURE KING OF WIZARDS! RUDRA D. RAJA KUMARA, THE SAVIOR OF THE DEEP, THE BRINGER OF CHAOS, THE HANDSOME MENACE!"💥💥

Then—Raja performed a perfect professional diving technique, cutting through the airlike a missile.

🚀SPLASH!🚀

Underwater, theOcean Conqueror Potion activated instantly, and Raja couldbreathe normally, see clearly, and even hear underwater conversations.

Rajaslowly navigated through the lake, reaching theMerpeople's village.

The hostages floated, tied in seaweed:

Ron Weasley(Harry's best mate)

Astoria Greengrass(Daphne's little sister)

Gabrielle Delacour(Fleur's little sister)

Hermione Granger(Krum's date)

Krum rescued Hermione first, and there is no sign of Fleur.

Harry came and saw his friend in a helpless situation.

The Merpeople, led by their chiefMerchieftainess Murcus, warn Harry that only one hostage per champion may be taken. However, Fleur does not arrive in time, and Harry, unwilling to leaveGabrielle behind, then Raja arrives and gestures to him that he will take care of them. Harry was so happy that he saw Raja, rescued Ron, and left.

The merpeoplegestured at Raja.

🧜‍♂️"You may takeonly onehostage."

Raja:"Hah! Cute rule. I'll be taking both girls, thanks."

🧜‍♂️"No, you will not—"

Raja cast spells on the ladies that created a protective magic bubble on them, and they woke up and got panicked, but Raja, using his magical mask, communicated with them and calmed them down.

When Raja readied themselves to go up the lake, the Grindylows surrounded them. Raja could understand what they were talking about: group attack—and decided to cast a flash grenade spell on them and run.

💀Grindylow #1:"Look at this human with his ugly mask!"

💀Grindylow #2:"Why does it cover only half his face?!"

💀Grindylow King:"Humans have terrible fashion sense."

💥Raja's brain short-circuited.💥

🔥🔥🔥"EXCUSE ME?!"🔥🔥🔥

👑Raja:"Did you just INSULT my mask? This is a custom-made, enchanted, next-gen aquatic battle mask!"

💀Grindylow #1:"Looks like a cheap Halloween costume."

💀Grindylow #2:"I've seen seaweed that looks better."

🔥🔥🔥"OH, IT'S ON, YOU UGLY SEA GREMLINS."🔥🔥🔥

And thus beganthe dumbestandmost heatedargument in underwater history:

👑Raja:"WHO'S MORE HANDSOME? A HUMAN OR A MERMAN?!"

🧜‍♂️Merpeople:"Uh—"

💀Grindylows:"Merpeople! Humans look weird!"

👑Raja:"EXCUSE YOU. Have you SEEN my jawline?!"

🧜‍♂️"Why does this human talk so much?!"

🔥🔥🔥"WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT?!"🔥🔥🔥

Thisnonsensicalargument went onfor five full minuteswhile Astoria and Gabriellestared in pure horror.

Finally—

💀Grindylow King:"Enough! Without magic, you are NOTHING in the water!"

👑Raja (grinning):"Bet."

💥💥💥Raja summoned an iron pole from his inventory.💥💥💥

👑Raja:"Come at me, you ugly fish sticks."

💀Grindylows swarmedRaja,but he countered with pure underwater martial arts.

🥋Spinning kicks.

💥Pole vault strikes.

🐠He dodged attacks like a ninja fish.

👑Raja:"I TOLD YOU never underestimate humans, FISH BOYS!"

Afterfive minutesof pureweapon combat, Rajastood victorious, bruised butundefeated.

👑Raja:"YOU LOSE! NOW MOVE ASIDE!"

The Grindylowsretreated in defeat.

🔥🔥🔥The Legend of Ugly Mask Man was born;Grindylows tell these legends for their kids to scare them.🔥🔥🔥
