"You were too impulsive just now."
Professor Slughorn's words were full of reproach. "If you offend the judges, they will definitely deliberately lower your score. It will also be detrimental to your future development."
"Impulsive? No, I've always been calm." Albert said calmly, "Some things cannot be compromised, otherwise you will only face more severe oppression. Besides, do you think they won't do that if I compromise? No, they will, at least the president will. I don't plan to become a pharmacist in the future."
Professor Slughorn was speechless. He suddenly couldn't understand the boy in front of him.
Albert can obtain the Golden Crucible based on his own strength, but the Potions Championship is never a fair competition. He obviously understands this, so he is so angry.
After resting for a while, Albert went to process the potion raw materials he had just collected. Most of the potion raw materials used by wizards have undergone preliminary processing.
For Albert, the biggest problem in making the shrinking potion was how to obtain the mouse spleen. Dissecting a mouse was a technical job. One had to find the spleen in the mouse and then take it out intact, rather than just taking an organ at random.
After washing the daisy roots, drying and chopping them, and peeling the shrunken figs, Albert quickly prepared the ingredients needed for the shrinking potion, laid them out neatly on the table, and slowly and methodically brewed the potion. During the process, he needed to be careful not to put too much leech juice and mouse spleen.
It took him more than an hour to successfully brew a perfect pot of shrinking potion, but perhaps due to the aftereffects of his confrontation with the jury, he only got 73 points in the end.
Of course, everyone is watching
Even if the referees were dissatisfied with Albert, they would not dare to give him too high a score. Besides, there were only a few fair and impartial referees.
However, as the other contestants returned, the judges who had deliberately lowered Albert's score soon found themselves in an awkward situation.
In particular, Daniela's shrinking potion score was much higher than Albert's, which made the principal of Castrobus look unhappy.
When it comes to processing potion ingredients, Daniela is not as skilled as Albert, which directly leads to the fact that the quality of the potion she brews is far inferior to that of Albert.
If the difference between the two potions was not that big and they were not the same kind of potion, no one would say anything. But now anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two potions.
Not to mention that Albert came back earlier than the others, which should have given him some bonus points.
However, the excellent potion had a lower score, which embarrassed the headmaster of Castrobushe.
Such a result is simply pushing Castrobus School into the fire pit.
Telling others clearly that the Castrobuse contestant cheated
Even if they want to cheat, it can't be too obvious. If they lose, they lose. If people think they can't afford to lose, then where will the face of Castrobus School be
Even if Castrobus School really won the Potions Championship, it would only become a laughing stock.
Therefore, facing the judging panel that was planning to cheat him, the principal of Castrobuse expressed his dissatisfaction with the scores of his own players without giving them face. This behavior directly made some of the judges look very upset.
All right!
This was a direct slap in the face of the referee.
Castrobushe is not the only one who has a problem.
Everyone has opinions.
The leader of Kodosdoriz sounded sarcastic.
There was nothing they could do, since their contestants were eliminated directly. These Russians, who already had bad tempers, were so angry that they had no place to vent.
They no longer blame Vagadu, but instead join everyone in causing trouble for the event organizers.
Durmstrang, who originally planned to watch from the sidelines, never looked normal again after Headmaster Igor Karkaroff discovered that his players were tricked by the tournament organizers.
The organizers of the competition no longer provided the contestants with a type of potion raw material as they did before, which directly led to the Durmstrang girl's intelligence error, and she was unable to brew the potion and was eliminated.
So, Karkaroff also joined everyone in causing trouble for the event organizers.
Another contestant from Ilvermorny Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a similar experience. Fortunately, this red-haired Scottish descendant collected enough magical ingredients and successfully brewed a very simple potion. He barely escaped the disaster and avoided following in Durmstrang's footsteps, but his score also caused him to be at the bottom.
What frustrated the judges the most was that the contestant from the Magic Institute who came back last also chose to make a shrinking potion after discovering that the organizer did not provide one of the raw materials. However, due to being in such a hurry, the finished product was even worse than Daniela's.
Even Olympe Maxime's expression looked unhappy, because she had no idea about President Bernard's arrangement, and no matter how you looked at it, this matter was all trouble caused by Guy Bernard, and Guy Bernard was a contestant of Beauxbatons School of Magic, so Beauxbatons School of Magic had to share the blame.
Anyway, most of the contestants from other schools were very dissatisfied with the judges' approach. They had worked so hard to collect the ingredients for the potion.
As a result, when he just came back, he found that he was trapped by the rules and was suspected by the organizers of attacking other players.
It's really hell, no one would be happy about it.
Later, after learning about Albert's situation, the contestants looked at the referee's seat with even more unfriendly eyes.
yes!
They are contestants, not prisoners, and should not be treated so rudely. Moreover, Albert was attacked in front of your patrol members. Is it appropriate for you to treat him like this
The biggest problem is that after checking the wands of all the contestants, the organizers still couldn't find the murderer who attacked Guy Bernard.
All right.
Now that everyone knows that Guy Bernard is the grandson of President Bernard, it is clear why Albert was targeted, because he is the most likely winner of the championship.
The judges' partiality made the contestants extremely angry.
Isn't this obvious cheating, trying to directly decide the champion of the competition
Since you have already chosen the champion, there is no point in competing. Just give up and give the Golden Crucible directly to Guy Bernard.
Guy Bernard was tricked, which turned out to be the most popular thing for the contestants.
After all, people are more willing to accept a champion who defeats them by strength than a guy who uses despicable means to win the championship, especially for these students who are still in school.
Everyone is blaming the tournament organizers and the referees.
It's all their fault anyway.
However, the organizers of the event were actually helpless as the Magic School Potion Championship was a competition jointly organized by the Magic Garden and the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association.
Now everyone has opinions about the Potions Championship. The Magic Garden, which only provided the venue, naturally does not want to take the blame. This matter is really not their problem.
The Magic Garden also has a lot of opinions about President Bernard's actions, not that he violated the fairness principle of the Potions Championship.
Even though the Magic Garden later realized after seeing the list of contestants that President Bernard was trying to cheat his grandson to win the Potions Championship, it was actually nothing, as cheating was common in the Potions Championship. But President Bernard messed it up and made it known to everyone, thus pulling off the fig leaf.
