After the first two rounds of elimination, only four contestants from the original eight schools and twenty-three contestants remained in the final round.
Many school leaders expressed confusion about the so-called third round of the Potions Championship.
The Potions Championships of all generations have only two rounds. The first round is used to select the top contestants, and the second round is used to test the contestants' comprehensive abilities.
Whoever gets the highest score will be the champion.
However, this year's Potions Championship has undergone changes. Not only has a third round been added, but the selection of the champion has also become based on the total score of the three rounds.
Not long ago, after everyone knew the content of the third round of the Potions 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 that those who are well prepared have an advantage.
As for the so-called allowing contestants to display their talents, it is just a nice excuse and everyone knows the reason.
This round of competition has a huge advantage for Guy Bernard. Maybe that bastard has been preparing for it months ago
Besides, God knows if there will be other traps in the third round.
The hidden traps in the second round had already trapped most of the contestants, but Guy Bernard was undoubtedly able to create a huge score gap with other contestants with the help of the first two rounds. Coupled with the third round that he had already prepared for, he was able to win the Potions Championship with a crushing score.
It is absolutely correct to say that he is the designated champion.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. President Bernard, who had made so many preparations, could never have expected that his grandson Guy Bernard would be eliminated directly in the second round of the competition. All his preparations went to waste.
No wonder he was so angry and caused so much trouble, but the murderer who attacked Guy Bernard has not been caught yet.
I believe that in the next few years, President Bernard will become the source of jokes in the potion circle.
"Mr. Anderson, is there something wrong with your list of ingredients?"
After reading the parchment that Albert handed him, Professor Slughorn couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches. He looked up at the genius in front of him, frowned and asked, "Are you really planning to brew the Buffy Brain Stimulant during the third round?"
Although there were some changes in the ingredients of the Buffy Brain-Refresher 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.
It's no wonder that he was so excited. There are several potions in the magical world that most potion masters are reluctant to touch. Bafe's Brain Refresher is one of them. This thing is just like the Felixir. As long as there is the slightest mistake, the potion will be completely scrapped.
Moreover, the raw materials of Bafe's brain stimulant are as expensive and scarce as those of the Felixir, so few pharmacists would want to challenge this thing, even if they are rich.
You know, although the Felixir Potion is hard to swallow, you can at least buy some if you have money, but the Bafe's Brain Waking Potion, which is famous for burning people's heads, is basically not available in perfect and harmless products on the market. What can be bought on the black market are all poisonous and inferior products. If you drink it directly without mixing it with water, you can book a permanent bed on the fourth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Albert actually planned to brew this stuff during the competition. In Professor Slughorn's opinion, he was planning to give up directly.
Before Albert could answer, Professor Slughorn advised again: "I believe you have the ability to brew a perfect Bafe Brain Stimulant, but there is also a chance of failure. I don't think you need to take the risk. Even a potion master would not try something like Bafe Brain Stimulant."
In Professor Slughorn's opinion, Albert was simply gambling with his own future, which was really unnecessary!
"I'm telling you, don't keep thinking about innovation. It's basically a trap. Most students can't do it to that level. Your current score is far ahead of others. As long as you can successfully brew the potion, it won't be difficult to win the championship." Professor Slughorn continued to persuade. If he didn't persuade Albert at this time, it would be his dereliction of duty.
It's almost a losing bet.
The golden crucible is already in front of you, why not just reach out and take it
"Ahem, are you guys okay over there?"
President Bernard naturally heard their conversation and found that Albert was stupid enough to make the Buffy brain stimulant. Naturally, he was not going to give Professor Slughorn time to persuade him to change his mind.
"alright."
After Albert submitted the list of ingredients, the referee's seat was also shocked.
"I remember that the Bafey Brain-Stimulating Potion has long been listed as a dangerous potion that is prohibited from drinking and trading, right?"
No one thought Albert could make the Bafe Brain Stimulant, let alone improve it.
If he can really do this, then what does it matter to the group of people sitting here? Shouldn't they give up their seats to him
“This looks more like a farce.”
"Maybe, we can give him a chance."
“It’s not fair to the other players.”
"We should go find him to confirm again." Damocles glanced at President Bernard and said calmly, "To be honest, I'm curious to what extent he can improve the Bafe Brain Awakening Agent."
"Do you think he will succeed?"
"Do you know some inside information?" Damocles' words immediately aroused the curiosity of others.
"Well, I know a little bit. At the beginning, Hetok asked me to study this thing together, but unfortunately I was busy improving the wolfsbane potion at that time." Damocles recalled. He did not expect that Hetok would succeed.
"So, this thing is Mr. Hertok's improvement?"
"Mr. Anderson should also be involved."
"Are you sure he's not working for Mr. Hertock?"
"Albert often provides us with suggestions and ideas for improving potions. Didn't I tell you that Mr. Anderson also provided a lot of useful suggestions for improving the wolfsbane potion?"
Suddenly, the referee's seat exploded.
They seemed to have heard some important news just now.
"Why doesn't he do it himself?"
Some people expressed doubts about this, and more people did not believe it. Would anyone be willing to give up their achievements to others
Anyway, they don't believe it.
"Maybe he has to go to school and doesn't have the time or materials to try it." Damocles said quietly, "Anyway, he doesn't seem to care much. Maybe he's just looking for an opportunity to try it?"
"But doesn't he want to be the champion?"
Of all the people present, probably only Catherine guessed the reason, and her expression was extremely complicated.
Bafe Brain Refresher is the result of cooperation between the two parties.
They provided him with a lot of raw materials for Bafe's brain stimulant for practice. Albert dared to use Bafe's brain stimulant to participate in the last round of the competition, which meant that he was already very skilled in this area.
This can be considered as an explanation to them.
I just don't know how effective this improved version will be.
"Mr. Anderson, are you sure you need the ingredients on this list?"
"That's right."
"Are you going to make some Bafey brain stimulant?"
"Any questions?"
After a brief silence.
"No, we are just curious." The female referee said, "I think you should know what Bafe Brain Stimulant is."
"Yes, I know very well." Albert said calmly.
“Have you ever brewed it?”
"Is this related to the competition?" Albert asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"No, we're just a little... curious. If you don't want to answer, forget it."
"Since that is his choice, I think we should respect his choice." President Bernard raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Maybe Mr. Anderson can bring us unexpected surprises."
President Bernard was very happy to see Albert's regretful and miserable look after losing the Potions Championship due to his own stupidity.
Catherine glanced at President Bernard and couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for him.
You chose the wrong opponent!
These days, she thought about it carefully and felt that the Guy Bernard incident was most likely Albert's doing.
Everyone knows that he is a genius, but no one knows how talented he is. It is purely a mismatch in information.
Is wandless magic really that difficult
Yes, it is really difficult and most wizards cannot do it.
That's why they didn't suspect Albert.
But in Catherine's opinion, if Vagadou's students can do it, there is no reason why Albert can't do it.
Besides, would a guy like that be attacked without being on guard
It feels suspicious just thinking about it.
"Williams, don't put pressure on yourself and don't leave any regrets for yourself," Kathryn said to her players.
Williams: “…”
Is this considered advance consolation
The game hasn't even started yet, how can you be sure I will lose
