Wright looked at the division of teams on the field. The two teams present were pretty much what he expected.
Most of Ravenclaw and most of Slytherin were together, and most of Gryffindor and most of Hufflepuff were together. But at the same time, because Hufflepuff has the largest number of people among the four houses, the number of people on the opposite side greatly exceeds the number of people on Wright's side. The comparison of the number of people on both sides is about one hundred to one hundred and fifty. .
Since Wright had been paying attention to the changes on the platform, he did not notice the changing expressions of Chang Chu standing next to him. The two of them had been standing in the Ravenclaw square since Professor Derwent announced the start of the grouping.
"Wright?" Chang Chu suddenly leaned into Wright's ear and said.
"Huh?" Wright withdrew his attention from the field and looked at Chang Chu in confusion.
"What do you think Professor Derwent wants us to do in groups?" Chang Chu asked in a low voice.
"... Didn't he just say that? The name of the first game is 'Group Confrontation'. As the name suggests, we have to fight against each other." Wright said speechlessly, Chang Chu, aren't you always serious? Do you want to listen to the lecture? Could it be that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also betrayed the revolution
"Oh." Chang Chu replied in a long voice, "Then do you think we can beat the opponent? There are nearly half more people on the opponent than us."
"I think there shouldn't be a big problem." Wright thought for a while and said, "Professor Devont also said that we were grouped together based on our knowledge and quality."
"We and the students across from us are all in first and second grade. According to common sense, at this age, no one will be exposed to any powerful and profound magic." Wright added, "Professor Devonte only taught us There are three magic spells: the Stunning Curse, the Iron Armor Curse and the Disarming Curse, so I believe that the second-year students will not make much progress compared to us, which means that everyone is almost at the same starting point."
"I think as long as the difference in numbers is not such a huge difference, then if the strategy is right, we can still win." Wright finally said as if he had made the final decision.
Chang Chu was initially confused by Wright's previous words, but when she heard Wright's last sentence of "you can win", for some reason, her eyes suddenly burst out with an extremely captivating brilliance. : "In other words, are you sure you can beat the opponent?"
"Yes, but I also said that it must be done with a proper strategy." Wright nodded first and then said.
But looking at the look on Chang Chu's face, Wright asked with some uncertainty: "Chang Chu, what do you think? No way? Don't..."
"I think you guessed it right! Wright, I have decided!" Chang Chu simply shook her long hair and left the Ravenclaw square. "I have decided not to be with you this time. I’m going to have a fight with you!”
As he spoke, Chang Chu walked towards the opposite team of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff without looking back. I don't know if they were affected by Chang Chu's words, but several people followed her and left the team here.
The current ratio of the number of people on the field is roughly 90 to 160. There will be slight changes later, but the ratio of the number of people still remains roughly the same.
Wright stood alone and messy among the Ravenclaws and Slytherins, looking confused and at a loss.
Chang Chu, didn’t you promise me to reconcile before? Why are you walking to the other side now? What does it mean to fight with me? What else does it mean to not be with me "this time"? Why did the others leave with him? Can’t you see that there are almost twice as many people over there as we are
…
Half an hour passed quickly, and Professor Derwent immediately opened his eyes when the timer on the lecture table rang.
"Very good, I'm very happy to see that you have now completed the grouping." Professor Derwent looked around the platform and did not express any other opinions. It seemed that he did not care at all about the huge number of people between the two student squares. Gap, "We now start the second part of the first game, the boss."
"It can be roughly judged from your clothes that Slytherin and Ravenclaw are grouped together, and Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are grouped together." Professor Derwent said, "Now each of you Each team can elect a captain and a vice-captain.”
"The rules for selecting a leader are also very simple. You can decide by voting or by force. If you need other positions, you can also decide in this way." Professor Derwent said, "There is only one restriction. If you use If it is determined by force, the use of death curses is not allowed. Although I don't want to mention your death curse, it will probably only make others nosebleed. "
"From now on, you still have thirty minutes to determine your position in the team."
After saying that, Professor Derwent once again began to close his eyes and meditate.
Another five minutes of silence passed.
Choosing a captain is different from collaborating with the academy. As expected, the captain and deputy captain are almost equivalent to the top decision-making officers of the two teams, even though they are only first- and second-year students in charge of less than 300 people.
Among the student phalanx of Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
The second-year Snake House student who had just led Slytherin House to join the phalanx here walked towards Wright after discussing with his classmates for a while, and the crowd consciously made way for him.
"Paz, no one here wants to compete with you for the position of captain," the second-year student from the Snake House pursed his lips, "But no matter what, the position of vice-captain should belong to us in Slytherin House."
Wright looked at the classmates around him, only to find that everyone was looking at him, including the second graders.
This tacitly assumes that I am a representative of Ravenclaw, right? Wright was speechless. But it didn't make sense to leave others alone, so he had no choice but to nod his head and agree to what the second-year student said.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the captains of the two teams were selected.
On the Ravenclaw and Slytherin teams, the captain is naturally Wright, while the vice-captain is the second-year student from the Snake House who just came over. If this matter had been brought up before Wright boarded the Chocolate Frog, maybe someone would have come out to argue with him. But since his name appeared on the chocolate frog picture, there was not even a voice of doubt.
Wright didn't know how the opposing teams negotiated. Anyway, Cedric from the Badger Court became the captain, while the Weasley twins from the Lion Court became the vice-captains.
The timer rang again. Since the end of get out of class was approaching, Professor Derwent did not say any nonsense and directly explained the relevant matters of the third link.
"Next, we start the third part of the first game."
"And this link is called: kill half, keep half."
"Those who are eliminated can continue to join future games, but I will rate each person's final score based on their game performance at each stage. That is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, people who are eliminated in the first session will Those who are eliminated may perform well in subsequent games, but they are destined to not get good scores in the first game.”
"As this Saturday is the first match of this year's Quidditch Cup, we will miss that time."
"This Sunday, we will have our first outdoor class and start the third part of the first mini-game. Accordingly, next week's Defense Against the Dark Arts class does not need to come to the classroom."
The get out of class bell rang just as Professor Derwent finished speaking.
"Now, get out of class is over!"
