"Honestly, I've never seen such solidarity among the contestants at the Magic School Potions Championship."
Behind the bar, Selina looked up at the young wizards gathered together, poured a glass of mead for her old friend Slughorn, and said with emotion.
Albert has become the absolute core of the crowd, and only he can gather the contestants together. However, not everyone can be as proficient in various languages as he is and can communicate with students from all schools without obstacles.
"I suddenly understand why Dumbledore asked Mr. Anderson to participate in the competition."
There was an undisguised gloating in Professor Slughorn's words. There are some things you can do secretly, but you can't say them out loud, let alone let them be seen in the light of day or put on the table.
All schools know that there have been cheating contestants in the Potions Championship throughout the ages. It can be said that cheating is a tradition of the Potions Championship, but no one will tell others about it, and no one can tell it. It's enough to just know it in your heart.
As a result, now things are different.
This mess was directly revealed by Albert, which completely exposed the dark side of the Potions Championship to the contestants and completely detonated their anger.
If no one stands up, other contestants may choose to swallow their anger and keep all their frustration and dissatisfaction in their hearts. After all, only a few people dare to challenge authority.
Albert's actions caught the other party off guard, and even President Bernard did not expect things to turn out like this.
Because someone stood up to express dissatisfaction, others naturally decided not to tolerate it anymore, especially when they knew that the champion of this competition had already been chosen by President Bernard for his grandson.
Make them even more unbearable.
They are all the best of the same age, so how can they not be a little arrogant
Who doesn't want to be played like a monkey by others
The event organizers are even worse!
Since you have all secured the title, there's no point in competing for anything. Just go back.
Students who can come to participate in the Magic School Potions Championship all have some connections. There are actually not many true geniuses. Moreover, potions are something that requires not only talent but also sufficient training.
Now that they have a common enemy, the contestants have become more united than expected.
We can definitely become friends.
No one is stupid now.
They are all contestants from the same class, and will go on to work in the potion field, while the other contestants are just connections.
After all, everyone is scattered all over the world and there is no conflict in any way.
The contestants drank and cursed the organizers and judges of the Potions Championship. Bernard and his grandson became the objects of disgust and scorn of the contestants.
Two Beauxbatons students even started digging up gossip about their own contestants.
Fortunately, Guy Bernard secretly followed President Bernard out of the Magic Garden after the second round of the game, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have died.
As for the black guy from Ouagadou who attacked others in the second round, he has been accepted by everyone again. After the game, the guy immediately apologized to Albert and Valeria with a very sincere attitude.
Albert once asked him why he attacked the patrolman. The black guy said that he didn't want to be eliminated. There would be no problem if he erased the other party's memory. He just didn't expect that he would fall into his own hands in the end.
Albert didn't care too much about the other party. He attacked him by surprise, and he made him take the blame. In the end, he still won. There was nothing to complain about. In fact, when it comes down to it, he might even have to thank him.
However, Valeria has always been brooding over her elimination and has not forgiven the other party.
The black guy was not angry. He did not expect to be forgiven by the other party, but it was still necessary to correct his attitude and make his position clear.
He just didn't want to be accused of attacking Guy Bernard and stuffing alioth leaves into his mouth.
If he didn't do it, he didn't do it. You can't put the blame on him.
He really doesn't want to take the blame for this.
Who exactly attacked Guy Bernard remains an unsolved mystery.
The attackers were not widespread, and must have been among the other seven contestants, or the eight patrol members.
All the contestants' wands have been thoroughly checked, and they believe that it might have been done secretly by a patrolman who disliked President Bernard.
Finally, at Albert's suggestion, everyone raised their glasses and toasted the unsung hero.
Isobel had guessed who had done it.
What patrol team? That's complete nonsense. Adults rarely act on impulse and do such irrational things.
No matter how she looked at it, Isobel felt that this was very much Albert's style.
It was secretive and efficient, leaving no traces behind and no one knew who did it.
More importantly, the contestant from the Uagadou School of Magic did not lie.
Everyone thought that apart from the players from the Uagadou School of Magic, it would be difficult to find players who knew how to use wandless magic.
This is a loophole.
Albert was undoubtedly the most suspicious. Although Isobel was not sure whether he could cast spells without a wand, she felt that with Albert's ability, it would not be difficult to achieve this level. No one knew where his limit was.
Only Albert, who likes to tell the truth as lies, can tell the truth with open eyes and deceive everyone.
"How does it feel to be the center of attention?" After closing the door, Isobel looked at Albert who was hugging her with a smile.
"I don't really like crowds, nor do I like being the center of attention, but getting them all on board is better than being alone."
Albert did not deny it and was not surprised that Isobel guessed that he did it.
Isobel knew Albert very well. When she heard that he was ambushed by a player from Vagadou, she must have started to doubt him.
"You are such a bad guy."
"There's nothing wrong with being a bad guy."
Albert certainly didn't attack Bernard and his grandson out of interest or because he couldn't stand the shady dealings. He wasn't that bored.
To put it bluntly, it’s still a question of interests.
Albert is determined to win the Potions Championship, but Bernard and his grandson stand in his way.
If there is a stone blocking the way, just kick it away.
However, after Albert had done something bad to Bernard, he discovered that there was a new task on the task panel called "Uncover the Dark Side of the Potion Championship" with extremely generous rewards. Albert would not let go of such a good thing easily, so he completed the task and directly lifted the fig leaf of the Potion Championship.
The other players would not be able to bear it.
As I said, geniuses are always a bit arrogant.
Now that someone is rushing to the front, the people behind naturally have no worries at all, not to mention that they have been tricked by the other party. In this case, if they can still bear it, they are not called young people.
The so-called jury is just that after losing that awe-inspiring aura of authority.
"The only game left is the third round the day after tomorrow. Do you already know the details of the third round?" Isobel felt that this was very likely.
"Well, the content is to brew a magic potion, and the ingredients are provided by the event organizer."
“It always feels like something is wrong,” Isobel said.
“This round of competition places more emphasis on innovation.”
"So that guy was kicked out directly?"
"He has such a huge advantage. He probably started preparing during the summer vacation."
Although Albert was very confident in himself, considering that the judges might give him low points, he simply eliminated his biggest competitor.
"What potion are you going to brew?"
"Buffy's Brain Stimulant." Albert said without hesitation
“It’s a risk.”
Isobel naturally understood what the Bafey Brain Waking Agent was, and was also well aware of the difficulty of brewing this kind of potion, which was in no way inferior to the Felicity Potion. No mistakes could be made during the brewing process, otherwise the pot of precious potion would turn into a pile of poison.
"I won't fail." Albert said confidently. He planned to use the Bafe brain stimulant modified by Hertok.
As he said, the third round actually focuses more on potion innovation rather than brewing potions.
Albert contributed a lot to the improvement of Bafe's brain stimulant.
The danger of the improved Bafe brain stimulant will be greatly reduced. He believes that the high difficulty + innovation will be enough to shut up all the referees.
Of course, this is also the carrot he dangles in front of the donkey.
