As the end of the month approaches, the wizard card competition organized by Albert is about to begin.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan have not had time to do anything lately, so they were all drafted by Albert to help make improved wizard cards.
The three of them have invested a lot of effort in this card game, and naturally hope that The Wizard Card Game can be promoted and popular with everyone.
On the weekend, Albert was woken up early in the morning by his excited roommates. He covered his yawns with sleepy eyes and couldn't help complaining, "I don't know what you are so excited about. Aren't you cold?"
Although the weather has shown a trend of warming up, the snow outside the castle shows no signs of melting. What is the point of jumping around in thin pajamas
"Do you think everyone still remembers the wizard card game?"
On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Lee Jordan couldn't help but ask again. This was the third time.
Although he had experience as a Quidditch commentator, he still looked very nervous, probably worried that no one would come to participate in the wizard card game, making the four of them the laughing stock of the entire school.
"If no one comes, won't we have earned the registration fee in vain?" George said greedily.
Albert could see that George was also very nervous, probably afraid that no one would come to participate in the competition in the end.
In fact, everyone understands that the popularity of Wizard Cards is decreasing with the passage of time. Most students participate out of temporary interest, and when the craze subsides, there are really not many people left. The problem can be seen from the fact that the number of people joining the Wizard Card Club is decreasing every month.
"It's just a preliminary attempt. Even if you mess up, it doesn't matter. You will always encounter failures a few times in life." Albert sat at the dining table, poured himself a cup of hot milk, took a sip and said to his roommate, "Also, you should have confidence in our wizard card game."
"I don't want to hear you talking nonsense."
Fred said unhappily that he didn't quite understand where Albert's confidence came from.
"Well, if you paid the two Sickles registration fee, would you not come to the competition?"
Albert couldn't help but shake his head. He took out a Sickle from his pocket, turned it on his fingertips, and said softly, "If the registration was free, they wouldn't come if they didn't want to come. But now they have paid to register. Even if they regret not wanting to participate in the competition, we will not refund the registration fee. You can't let your Sickle go to waste, right? You will definitely grit your teeth and come to the competition."
“No one likes to suffer losses!”
"Since you've made the effort, few people would give up halfway. Besides, the champion gets ten Galleons."
Although British parents will give their children pocket money, it will never be too much. People like Albert who have a lot of Galleons in their pockets are definitely exceptions.
"I see!"
The three of them suddenly understood. No wonder Albert collected the registration fee at the beginning and solemnly asked everyone to reconsider it again and again, because once the registration was confirmed, it could not be refunded.
This is the reason why feelings exist!
What a cunning and sly fellow.
"You are quite clever."
Shanna walked over here and happened to hear this conversation. She smiled and asked, "When does the wizard card game start?"
"We'll start at 10 o'clock with the first round of eliminations. There are only 32 people, so it won't take much time."
Albert had thought about everything related to the wizard card competition a long time ago.
"Will the champion be decided today?" Shanna asked again.
"Of course not. There are only four of us referees at once." Albert raised his hand and pointed at Fred, George and Lee Jordan, then pointed at himself, "Four games at a time, plus those who don't want to participate, we should be able to select the top 16 before twelve o'clock." Albert estimated the time and continued, "If there is still enough time, we will select the top 8 and then wait until next month to decide the champion."
"You seem to be very familiar with the competition process!" Angelina and Alia came together, and they were also preparing to participate in the wizard card competition.
"I heard that you have prepared new wizard cards?" Angelina asked curiously.
"Who told you that?" Albert looked at his three roommates, and the two of them raised their fingers and pointed at Fred.
"Hehe, it's not a secret anyway. The new cards are ready." Fred pointed at Albert, indicating that the new wizard cards were with him.
"You're the only one who talks too much."
"We have to give everyone something to look forward to, otherwise no one will come to participate in the competition." Fred has already thought of an excuse.
Albert took the card out of the exquisite box and handed it to Angelina.
Angelina carefully examined the new wizard cards, which were completely different from the rough ones before. The wizard cards in their hands looked more refined and standardized, and even the effects of the wizard cards were written in beautiful cursive script.
Shanna picked up a spell card, which had the wand swinging motion, the name of the spell, and the effect drawn on it.
"When can we have our own cards?" Truman originally came to inquire about the specific time of the competition. After seeing the wizard cards in Angelina's hand, he was immediately attracted by these new cards.
"It's not the right time yet."
"These wizard cards take a lot of time and need to be improved. This time I'm just showing you what future wizard cards will look like."
At present, Albert has no plans to popularize wizard cards, at least not until he can mass-produce them.
"Before, I was worried that the wizard cards would not be popular, but now I'm not worried anymore." Truman looked at the new wizard cards carefully and couldn't help but sigh.
"Do I have to pay to buy wizard cards in the future?"
"It will probably take some time before they are officially put on sale." Albert never intended to provide wizard cards to others for free.
The new Wizard cards have indeed attracted a lot of people's attention. Compared with the original Wizard cards, they are simply not on the same level. Many supporters of Wizard cards can't wait to snatch the cards from them right now.
“Can you make a deck of cards the champion of this competition
"We can consider it next year. This year's prizes will not be changed." Albert took out his pocket watch, checked the time, cleared a space at the end of the dining table, took out the registered contestants and began to call out their names.
There were two students who did not plan to participate in the wizard card competition. Albert directly announced that they had lost the competition. Angelina and another lucky person were the first to enter the next round of elimination before the competition began.
"Now, I declare the first Wizard Card Competition officially open!"
Albert picked up his magic wand and created sparks, making the effect of a fireworks explosion, which stunned everyone.
