Study Days at Hogwarts

After the first two rounds of eliminations, from the original eight schools and 23 contestants, only four contestants remained until the final round.

Many school leaders expressed confusion about the so-called third round of the Potions Championship.

There have been only two rounds in the potion championships in the past. The first round is used to select the top players, and the second round is used to test the players' comprehensive abilities.

Whoever has the higher score wins the championship.

However, this year's potion championship has changed. Not only has a third round been added, but the selection of the champion has become the total score of the three rounds.

Not long ago, after everyone learned about the content of the third round of the Potion Championship, they all realized the reason for changing the rules.

The contestants need to write down the ingredients needed to brew the potion in the third round within half an hour, which means those who are prepared in advance have an advantage.

As for the so-called allowing contestants to display their talents, it is just a nice excuse, and everyone understands the reason.

This round of competition has a huge advantage for Guy Bernard. Maybe that bastard was preparing for it a few months ago?

And, who knows if there will be other pitfalls in the third round.

The hidden traps in the second round have deceived most of the contestants, and Guy Bernard will undoubtedly be able to use the first two rounds to open up a huge score gap with other players, plus the third player who has already prepared In a round of competition, it is absolutely possible to win the Potion Championship with a crushing score.

It is not wrong to say that he is the designated champion.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. How could President Bernard, who had made so many preparations, expect that his grandson Guy Bernard would be eliminated in the second round? Made a wedding dress for someone else.

No wonder he was so angry and caused a lot of trouble. As a result, the murderer of Guy Bernard was not caught yet.

I believe that President Bernard will be the source of laughter in the potions circle in recent years.

"Mr. Anderson, is there something wrong with your ingredient list?"

After reading the parchment that Albert handed to him, Professor Slughorn couldn't help but speak in a higher voice. He looked up at the genius in front of him, frowned and asked, "Are you really planning to compete in the third round?" When you are ready to brew the Bafa brain-refreshing potion?"

Although there were some changes in the ingredients of Bafe's Brain Refreshing Potion on the parchment, Professor Slughorn, as an expert in the field of potions, could naturally tell from the materials what potion Albert was going to brew.

No wonder he was so excited. There are several potions in the magic world that most potion masters are unwilling to touch. Bafei Brain Refreshing Potion is one of them. This thing is just like the Felixir. With just a little mistake, it will The potion will be completely useless.

Moreover, the raw materials of Bafa Brain Refresher are as expensive and rare as the raw materials of Fuling Elixir, so there are not many pharmacists who want to challenge this thing, even if they are rich.

You know, although the Fuling Elixir is difficult to endure, you can at least buy some if you have money. However, the Bafa Brain Refreshing Potion, which is famous for burning other people's heads, is basically not available in the market in a perfect and harmless finished product. All that can be bought on the black market are Toxic and inferior product, drink it without water, and you can book a permanent bed on the fourth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.

Albert actually planned to cook this thing during the competition. In Professor Slughorn's opinion, he planned to abstain directly.

Before Albert could answer, Professor Slughorn persuaded again: "I believe you have the ability to brew a perfect Buffy brain-refreshing potion, but there is also a chance of failure. I don't think you need to take risks at all. Not even a potions master would try something like Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion."

In Professor Slughorn's view, Albert was just risking his own future, and there was really no need for it!

"I'm telling you, don't always think about innovation. That's a trap. Most students can't do that. Your current score is far ahead of others. As long as you can brew the potion smoothly, you can It is not difficult to win the competition." Professor Slughorn continued to persuade, and it would be his dereliction of duty if he did not persuade Albert at this time.

This is almost a losing bet.

The golden crucible is already in front of you, why not just reach out and take it?

"Ahem, are you okay over there?"

President Bernard naturally heard their conversation and discovered that Albert was stupid enough to brew Baffy's brain-reviving potion. Naturally, he was not prepared to give Professor Slughorn time to persuade him to change his mind.

"alright."

After Albert submitted the list of ingredients, the referee's bench also exploded.

"I remember that Bafei Awakening Potion has long been listed as a dangerous potion that is prohibited from drinking or trading, right?"

No one thought that Albert could brew Baffy's brain-refreshing potion, let alone improve it.

If he can really achieve this level, then what does it matter to a group of people sitting here? Should he give up his position to the other party?

"This looks more like a farce."

"Maybe we can give him a chance."

"It's not fair to the other players."

"We should check with him again." Damocles glanced at President Bernard and said calmly: "To be honest, I'm curious to what extent he can improve the Bafei brain-reviving agent."

"You think he'll succeed?"

"Do you know some inside information?" Damocles' words immediately aroused the curiosity of others.

"Well, I know a little bit. Hutok asked me to study this thing together. Unfortunately, I was busy improving the Wolfsbane potion at that time." Damocles recalled, and he did not expect Hutok to succeed.

"So, this thing is Mr. Hutok's improvement?"

"Mr. Anderson should also be involved."

"Are you sure he's not working for Mr. Hutok?"

"Albert often provides us with suggestions and ideas for improving potions. Didn't I mention that Mr. Anderson also provided a lot of useful suggestions for the improvement of Wolfsbane potions?"

Suddenly, the referee's bench exploded.

They seemed to have heard some big news just now.

"Why doesn't he do it himself?"

Some people expressed doubts about this, and even more disbelief. Would anyone be willing to give up their achievements to others?

Anyway, they don’t believe it.

"Probably because he has to go to school and has no time or raw materials to try it." Damocles said quietly, "Anyway, he doesn't seem to care much. Maybe he just looks for a chance to try it?"

"But doesn't he want to be the champion?"

Of all the people present, probably only Katherine guessed the reason, and her expression was extremely complicated.

Buffy Brain Refresher is a collaboration between both parties.

They provided him with the raw materials of Baffy Brain Refreshing Potion for him to practice. Albert dared to use Baffy Brain Refreshing Potion to participate in the last round of the competition, which meant that he was already very skilled in this aspect.

This is also an explanation for them.

I just don’t know how effective this improved version is.

"Mr. Anderson, are you sure you need the ingredients on this list?"

"That's right."

"Are you going to make a Bafe brain-rejuvenating potion?"

"Is there a problem?"

After a short silence.

"No, we are just curious." The female referee said: "I think you should know very well what Bafei's brain-reviving agent is."

"Yes, I know very well." Albert said calmly.

"Have you ever cooked it?"

"Is this related to the competition?" Albert asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"No, we're just a little... curious. If you don't want to answer, forget it."

"Since it was his choice, I think we should respect his choice." President Bernard's lips curled up slightly, "Maybe Mr. Anderson can bring us unexpected surprises."

President Bernard was very willing to see Albert's regret and dejection as he lost the Potions Championship due to his own stupidity.

Katherine glanced at President Bernard and couldn't help but sympathize with him.

We found the wrong opponent!

In the past few days, she thought about it carefully and felt that Guy Bernard's incident was probably caused by Albert.

Everyone knows that he is a genius, but they don't know how talented he is. It is purely an error in information.

Is wandless magic really difficult?

Yes, it's really difficult, most wizards can't do it.

That’s why they didn’t suspect Albert.

But in Kathleen's view, if Wagadu's students can do it, there is no reason why Albert can't.

Moreover, would a guy like that be unaware of being attacked?

It feels suspicious just thinking about it.

"Williams, don't put pressure on yourself, and don't leave yourself with regrets." Kathleen said to her player.

Williams: "..."

Is this considered comfort in advance?

The game hasn't even started yet, why do you think I will lose?
