Chapter 190 Neville’s Challenge

"How about using it to make mushroom soup." Roger picked up the jumping mushroom and looked at it carefully.

It has a red umbrella and a white stem. I wonder if I can lie down after drinking mushroom soup.

Roger touched his chin, curiously imagining the taste of mushroom soup. He has always been curious about what it would be like to see a villain after drinking. If it were magic mushrooms, would the effect be stronger?

"Completely non-toxic!" Neville responded proudly. He said, tearing off a piece, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it loudly.

"You just stepped on..." Daphne muttered, her eyes widening.

Neville swallowed the mushroom and said happily: "It is grown from the spores of the red bouncing mushroom."

"I followed Professor Sprout's instructions and collected them from the forest on a full moon night. The spores at that time had powerful magical energy and were the key to cultivating jumping mushrooms. Then, I used sneeze powder to regulate their Growth rate."

"Sneeze powder?" Daphne asked doubtfully, "Isn't that a prank?"

"Well." Neville hurriedly explained, "One time someone sprinkled sneeze powder on my clothes, and I found out that it had a special effect on mushrooms.

Once the mushrooms have grown, they can be stimulated with sneeze powder. They quiver and become more and more elastic. It can also help mushrooms better absorb nutrients and accelerate growth. "

Neville was very confident when he talked about the cultivation process, and there was even light in his eyes: "I inserted the roots of the nightmare tree into the wet soil and planted the spores on it. I used sneeze powder as planned..."

He passionately shares his cultivation process, which is the result of his in-depth study of magical plants and his unremitting efforts.

After many times of selective breeding, the spores of jumping mushrooms now have a strong rebound effect without the use of sneeze powder. This is a brand new mushroom that also helps the wizard in his adventures.

Rogge's question just now made Neville realize another use of jumping mushrooms. It can even be used as food for wizards.

Malfoy rubbed his hands uneasily as he listened to Neville's sharing. He realized that the challenge would be difficult, as Neville had already proven his deep knowledge of botany and his nurturing abilities.

"No, I can't lose alone!" Malfoy was worried. Turning to look at Roger and Daphne. He decided to call the others and they all accepted Neville's challenge.

Daphne looked at Malfoy with a wicked smile and said jokingly: "Neville, have you decided to beat up Malfoy?"

Neville nodded immediately, obviously ready: "Rogg, can I challenge Malfoy now?"

"Of course!" Rogge agreed without hesitation, "According to the rules, you have to defeat four people before you can join the club. Have you decided who to challenge?"

Neville turned to stare at him and mustered up the courage to yell: "Malfoy!"

"I'm not deaf!" Malfoy glared at him with a straight face.

"Let's go to the greenhouse! Let Professor Sprout give us a question!" Neville couldn't wait, grabbed Malfoy's hand and ran to the greenhouse.

"Wait a minute!" Malfoy quickly asked Neville to stop, "You have to defeat four people, you won't forget it, right?"

"If we challenge them separately, I won't go!"

"But..." Neville hesitated slightly, thinking about how to choose other opponents, "In addition to you, there are Anthony, Terry... and, what else?"

Neville didn't know who to choose. He looked at Roger and Daphne and said firmly: "And Hermione!"

"Hermione?"

Neville's decision surprised everyone. After all, Hermione was known for her wealth of knowledge and was an opponent that should not be underestimated.

"Yes, Hermione Granger!" Neville insisted on his choice confidently.

"I want to defeat Hermione and make everyone recognize that I am qualified to join the club." Neville's words were full of determination

"You mean I can't do it?" Malfoy frowned, feeling that his self-esteem had been challenged, and Neville's choice was completely insulting to him.

"Yeah!" Neville admitted dully. His decision was for personal reasons, but he also wanted to take this challenge to show his worth.

In his eyes, the most powerful person in the Jackdaw Club is Roger, followed by the omniscient Miss Know-It-All. However, facing Rogge, he was a little undecided and unsure of victory.

But if he competed with Hermione on herbalism knowledge, he would definitely win. As for practicality, witches don't like mud very much. He stayed in the greenhouse every day and saw Hermione only a handful of times.

"Haha..." Malfoy laughed angrily, "So you challenge me for purely personal reasons?"

"Yes!" Neville stared at Malfoy closely, "You used to bully me a lot..."

Neville said, and then forgot for a moment exactly how he was bullied.

"But I haven't bullied you for a long time."

"Then...then you bullied me too! For example..." Neville immediately took out the memory ball, trying to retrieve those memories.

"Oh, I remembered!" Neville pointed at him, "You took away my memory ball, tied my legs with a magic spell, and made me jump back to the auditorium; and..."

The more Neville spoke, the tighter his fist became, and he punched his palm as if to punch Malfoy.

"Okay, okay! I accept your challenge!" Malfoy took a deep breath, as if he had done those things himself.

He didn't even know that he was so talented and could pull off such fun pranks.

Alas, I haven't continued to tease Neville recently. Have I changed?

"But you have to think carefully." Malfoy reminded in a low voice, "If you join the club, there will be a magic duel."

"Unlimited." Malfoy smiled coldly, which frightened Neville.

"If you want to join, I will find you as my opponent. Every time there is a club activity, I will beat you with magic spells and fists."

"Ahem..." Rogge reminded Malfoy to pay attention to his words.

"We are a civilized and friendly magic society. We don't fight, we just communicate." Malfoy patted Neville heavily on the shoulder and threatened.

"I'm not afraid!" Neville said and dragged Malfoy to the greenhouse.

Roger and Daphne quickly followed, and they were also curious about Neville's challenge to Malfoy.

"Come on, let's go take a look too!"

Upon seeing this, other little wizards ran to the greenhouse, and soon attracted a large number of little wizards to watch.

The three Hermiones received the news from Rogge and came from their respective colleges. Although everyone was excited about Neville's challenge, they were not optimistic about his victory over Miss Granger.

In the greenhouse, a fresh plant aroma spreads, the temperature is moderate, and the sunlight shines through the transparent glass on various wonderful magical plants.

Professor Sprout personally oversees this challenge. She is an authority in the field of herbalism and has extensive experience in cultivating and studying magical plants.

She looked at Neville and the other four people, smiled and said: "The rules of this challenge are simple, you will cultivate a magical plant under my supervision.

First, I will provide you with a magical plant seed, and then you need to use your own magical knowledge and skills to cultivate it until it grows to a specific stage. "

Professor Sprout waved his magic wand, and a planting platform appeared in front of everyone.
