The second task of the Triwizard Tournament had been revealed.

🧜‍♂️

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

Most champions were

stressing out

about how to breathe underwater for an hour. But not Raja. Oh no.

Raja was

sipping butterbeer

, watching as

Harry struggled

with 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 designing

a next-gen magical Mask

for his

big entrance

.

The night before the task,

Dobby arrived

in dramatic fashion, carrying a

golden box

.

💥

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

Dobby (proudly):

"My lord's potion makes you

Aquaman 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 was

partially transfigured

into a

shark hybrid

.

🧙‍♀️ Fleur

attempted a charm

(which didn't seem to work).

⚡ Harry

gulped Raja's potion

and

dove in like an Olympic swimmer

.

💥 And Raja

stood there.

🔥🔥

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

🔥🔥

Students

gawked

.

Parvati (whispering to Padma):

"Is it legal to look that good?!"

Padma:

"It shouldn't be."

Dobby, who had somehow

hijacked the magical speakers

,

introduced Raja

like a

boxing 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 air

like a missile

.

🚀

SPLASH!

🚀

Underwater, the

Ocean Conqueror Potion activated instantly

, and Raja could

breathe normally, see clearly, and even hear underwater conversations.

Raja

slowly navigated through the lake

, reaching the

Merpeople'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 chief

Merchieftainess Murcus

, warn Harry that only one hostage per champion may be taken. However, Fleur does not arrive in time, and Harry, unwilling to leave

Gabrielle 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 merpeople

gestured at Raja

.

🧜‍♂️

"You may take

only one

hostage."

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 began

the dumbest

and

most heated

argument 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?!"

🔥🔥🔥

This

nonsensical

argument went on

for five full minutes

while Astoria and Gabrielle

stared 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 swarmed

Raja,

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!"

After

five minutes

of pure

weapon combat

, Raja

stood victorious

, bruised but

undefeated

.

👑

Raja:

"YOU LOSE! NOW MOVE ASIDE!"

The Grindylows

retreated in defeat.

🔥🔥🔥

The Legend of Ugly Mask Man was born;

Grindylows tell these legends for their kids to scare them

.

🔥🔥🔥

With the clock

running out

, Raja grabbed

Astoria and Gabrielle

and

BLASTED OUT OF THE WATER LIKE SUPERMAN.

💥💥

SPLASH!

💥💥

🔥🔥🔥

LANDS IN A HERO POSE.

🔥🔥🔥

👀

Students: Jaw dropped.

👀

Professors: Speechless.

👀

Dumbledore: Clapping like a proud grandpa.

💋

Fleur and Daphne ran to Raja, kissing him on both cheeks in gratitude.

Little

Astoria and Gabrielle

recounted Raja's fight, causing

absolute CHAOS

in the stands.

The final scores:

🏆

Raja—50 points (1st place)

⚡

Harry—40 points (3rd place)

🦈

Krum—45 points (2nd place)

🧜‍♀️

Fleur—25 points (4th place)

Dumbledore

praised Raja

for his

selflessness

and

stupidity and bravery

.

💥💥

Madam Pomfrey DRAGGED Raja to the infirmary.

💥💥

👀

Raja on the stretcher (smirking):

"Totally worth it."

🔥🔥🔥

THE CHAOS LORD STRIKES AGAIN.

🔥🔥🔥
