Chapter 823 Magic Knowledge Reserve Competition
·
Nan Shan Dou Xi
The arrival of the Witch King brings the originally boring magic knowledge reserve game to a climax.
Slughorn announced the start of the game with a look of joy on his face.
"The Magic Knowledge Reserve Competition officially begins."
With Slughorn's orders given, the game begins.
Professor McGonagall coughed twice, "Now let's start the first game, the team competition."
"Each team can use their wands to fire red sparks and hit the clock in the middle to answer the question. Each team will receive five points for each correct answer, and three points will be deducted for each incorrect answer."
After announcing the rules, Professor McGonagall looked at the many players.
The difficulty requires not only knowing the knowledge, but also hitting the bell in the middle.
The contestants are arranged in a circle, and the clock in the middle is 20 meters away from them.
This distance is somewhat difficult for the wizard's accurate head.
If you know the answer, it's no use not being able to hit it.
The players looked at Professor McGonagall nervously.
Professor McGonagall spoke, and her voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
On the clock, letters about the title also appear.
"What are the three heads of the rune snake called?"
When the question came up, Wagadu took the lead.
Tabor, who had met John, fired red sparks and hit the clock, and said loudly: "The head on the left is called the planner, responsible for where to go and what to do next, and the head in the middle is called the sleepwalker, indulging in brilliant longings. The center, right side is called the critic, criticizing the left and middle heads.”
"The answer is correct and perfect." Professor McGonagall showed a satisfied smile, "Wagada will increase by five points."
In the hourglass of Wagadu, five golden gems fell into it.
Wagadu's morale was greatly boosted. As an expert in transfiguration, Wagadu had accumulated rich knowledge about magical animals and transfiguration.
The game continued, and McGonagall continued to ask questions.
“If I were looking for a bezoar stone, where would I look?”
Banad's student took action and hit the bell first, shouting: "From the goat's stomach!"
"Fast and accurate, Ben Ade will add five points." Professor McGonagall added points for him.
The students at Hogwarts are starting to get anxious. Two schools have already received scores, but the hourglass at Hogwarts is still empty.
They looked at Astoria with a serious expression.
Sure enough, every school has enough outstanding students to come.
The Ravenclaw student knew the answer just now, but unfortunately his spark was misplaced.
Professor McGonagall also looked at the Hogwarts students with veiled concern.
This time, the principals of each school truly felt the pressure from other schools.
There would be no progress without competition, and seeing the excellence of others made Slughorn anxious.
Prepare for the third question.
Professor McGonagall said: "What kind of magic potion can scurvy be used for?"
The moment Astoria heard the question, without any hesitation, she shot sparks from the tip of her staff and hit the bell.
After she hit, almost a fraction of a second later, Durmstrang's spark also hit.
The slight difference in sequence makes it seem like they are at the same time.
In this situation, Professor McGonagall points his wand at the clock.
Zhong will return the spark that first hit him.
Hogwarts gets this chance to answer questions.
But Astoria's teammates were anxious.
"We don't know the answer yet." The Ravenclaw boy complained, as if he didn't understand what Astoria was so anxious about.
Astoria just said calmly: "It's just that you don't know."
She said loudly: "Scurvy is a herb that can easily cause encephalitis and make people impetuous and reckless. It is mostly used as a drug for confusion and delusion."
"Perfect answer, plus five points for Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face.
And the arrogant Ravenclaw boy had a look of embarrassment on his face. He was ashamed that he had misjudged the strength of his teammates.
"This is the meaning of the team competition," Astoria said. "If one person's wisdom cannot do it, let the wisdom of three people add up."
Professor McGonagall continued to read the question.
As the follow-up questions continued, some questions began to make the responders hesitate for a while before they could answer.
A mysterious smile appeared on the faces of Ben Ad's students.
Because they found that most of these questions were biased, mainly potions.
They have investigated the principal of this school. As a potion master, he will definitely not miss the topic of potions.
Therefore, the contestants sent by Ban Ade's students are also elites who are proficient in potion knowledge.
Prescribe the right medicine.
Banad made significant gains, and their score ranked second.
The first is the Tarot Magic Vocational and Technical School. Unexpectedly, in a competition with cultural differences, the Tarot Magic Vocational and Technical School was able to exert its strength in the later stages.
The girl succeeded in answering the questions five times in a row.
Don't underestimate the knowledge base produced by Eastern education. These students have gone through the questions over and over again, and they can basically tell the answers at a glance.
What is tested is the knowledge reserve, which has a good opportunity for the East.
Chen Chaoci waved the flag and shouted for his captain, "Come on Li Erya, if you win, I'll treat you to pork stewed vermicelli!"
The atmosphere was high. Before this, no one could have imagined that just boring knowledge questions could have such exciting ups and downs.
The principal of Wagadu, Babajide, even cheered for Wagadu at the guest table.
With current scores, Hogwarts is ranked fourth.
Wagadu ranked third.
Among the three major magic schools in Europe, none of them ranked in the top three.
There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.
Students in Ban Ade rush to answer the questions and if they answer incorrectly, three points will be deducted.
Astoria took the opportunity to make up for the loss and tied Vagadu's score.
When it came to the alchemy question, Beauxbatons exerted his strength.
From No. 7 to No. 5, Wagadu is also good at alchemy.
Relying on the questions in this period, he successfully surpassed Ben Ad and came to second place.
Tarot Magic Vocational and Technical School is still ranked first because of its higher scores in other previous questions.
It's a race between Wagadu and Beauxbatons.
After these questions passed, the two schools occupied second and fourth place respectively.
Astoria was secretly anxious and took the opportunity to regain some points when entering the astronomy topic.
Again in third.
The Ban Ade student had a grim look on his face. Although there were many questions about potions, other questions also accounted for a lot of points.
Ten schools chase each other.
As for the magic knowledge reserve competition, the one hundred questions are coming to an end.
Tarot Magic Vocational and Technical School, which has always been the leader, also lost a lot of points here because of differences in divination.
Captain Li Erya covered his head and wailed: "When we were learning the Six Yao Yao, you didn't tell me that we were going to take a tarot card test."
Her teammates were even more dejected and said, "I learned how to count plum blossoms. You asked me about the Western zodiac signs."
Because of the differences between the East and the West, they fell from No. 1 to third place.
Hogwarts successfully counterattacked and reached second place by relying on the centaurs' mastery of astrology.
Wagadu rushed to first place.
Kodosdorez was originally good at this kind of thing, but they missed many sparks in front of them and failed to overtake Hogwarts.
Banad dropped to fifth, with Beauxbatons above them by two points.
Professor McGonagall read out the last question: "What is the main ingredient of Wolfsbane Potion?"
Ten sparks rushed towards the clock, causing the bell to ring wildly.
In the end, Professor McGonagall used magic, and the first spark that hit returned the same way.
It fell on the side of Ilvermorny.
"Wolf Poison Aconitum."
"Correct answer, Ilvermorny will gain five points."
"The team competition is over."
Some schools are happy, while others are crestfallen.
The grades at Hogwarts are not bad, not much different from those at Wagadu.
There is basically not much difference in the scores of the top five.
This means that the next individual competition is the key.
They have to send the strongest one to compete, and the final score plus the team competition score will determine the winner of this game.
The Ravenclaw boy wanted to try, but after looking at Astoria, he silently took a step back.
Another Gryffindor student also looked at Astoria.
They all understand that only Astoria can take on this important task.
After a lunch break, the individual competition will begin.
The exciting competition filled the auditorium with lively discussions.
There are also people who rush to the library to gain knowledge, and they are actively preparing for the individual competition in the afternoon.
This is their chance to turn around.
There are also [-] questions in the individual competition, but if this complexity of knowledge falls on one person, it will become a very difficult thing.
Slughorn grinned from ear to ear with joy.
Principal Banad had a sullen face, looking as if he had been cheated out of tens of thousands of galleons.
The game will be broadcast to Magic Radio, and in the Wizarding City, everyone will cheer for their alma maters.
To be fair, John didn't go to see Astoria.
Tom returned to Hogwarts and became very lively. He ran around and ran around the Slytherin common room, where his head was petted many times.
It is going to meet its good friend Yaya.
John walked out of the castle with it.
Those former juniors and juniors only dared to look at John from a distance.
John was wearing a magic land scarf, but Tom was not afraid of the cold.
Far away, Madame Maxime's rune horse could be seen drinking ale.
I just don’t know where Hagrid is, it’s Grawp who is taking care of those rune horses.
...
Slughorn announced the start of the game with a look of joy on his face.
"The Magic Knowledge Reserve Competition officially begins."
With Slughorn's orders given, the game begins.
