#268 - Beat until you win (ask for monthly ticket recommendation)

"If the relationship between the two Houses continues to develop like this, we'll only end up suffering ourselves. That's why I think it's necessary for us prefects to intervene. ReadingМ"

"Then how do you think we should intervene?" Pascal was about to start imagining some strange developments again, but he finally suppressed it.

"In terms of Quidditch matches, we can make a mutual agreement not to use overly outrageous tactics and behaviors. After all, if the game doesn't follow the rules, there won't be a sense of accomplishment even if we win."

"Moreover, judging from the results of previous years, the biggest losses in our two teams' matches are still our own, because the experience of being injured, missing training, and then losing in subsequent matches is not pleasant." Anduin's proposed conditions were quite sincere.

So that's it. I thought you were going to directly order our team not to resist. Pascal was overjoyed when he heard Anduin's request. So that's all it was, scaring me.

"You mean we should advise the players to use regular tactics in the game? Okay, no problem." Pascal agreed quite readily, afraid that Anduin would go back on his word.

"Okay, Prefect Hawke, it seems we can reach a consensus on this point." Anduin didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly. "In that case, let's make an agreement here and now that we promise not to prioritize malicious fouls in the upcoming Quidditch matches. We hope you can do the same."

"No problem. I'm the captain of the Gryffindor team this year. If we can really have a fair game, we won't object. But are you sure you can make your team listen? If we still end up fighting after this agreement, it will be difficult to talk to them next time." Pascal brought up his concerns.

"You don't have to worry about that. I'm the captain of the Slytherin team this year. I'll make them restrain themselves on the field." Velen chimed in at this time. People from the Quidditch teams had to be present for this kind of agreement. That's why he came along.

"Okay, it'll be much easier with both of us on the field." Pascal nodded at Velen, which was considered a confirmation of the agreement.

"Now that the Quidditch matters have been settled, it's time to talk about the other matter." Seeing that the negotiations were going smoothly, Anduin quickly followed up.

At this time, Pascal also basically understood Anduin's position. It seemed that he wasn't planning to take sides, but was more willing to maintain fairness.

Worthy of being the light of justice, Anduin, the nemesis of evil. I actually thought you would do something against the rules before. I'm still too young, and my understanding of combat heroes is not thorough enough, Pascal silently muttered to himself with some shame.

And the other matter is the daily conflicts between the two Houses. Presumably Anduin won't be biased, right? But it won't be easy to resolve this matter. Thinking of this, Pascal couldn't help but frown.

"You're talking about the conflicts between the Houses, right? But for us, these little wizards are not as easy to manage as the Quidditch players. You should also know the situation in our House. It's not like they'll definitely listen to me just because I say so." Pascal truthfully stated his difficulties.

"I understand." Anduin nodded. "It's unreasonable to completely suppress the conflicts of these little wizards, so I thought of a better way."

"Oh? What way?" Pascal raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Their conflicts, in the final analysis, are just the conflicts between individual little wizards. In comparison, most students in the House don't want to actively get involved," Anduin said with a smile.

Pascal nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He knew that this was indeed the case. Not everyone in Gryffindor was so belligerent.

"Since the main problem is the conflicts between individual little wizards, then we just need to find a way to release their conflicts and emotions."

"Release?" Pascal asked, "How to release it?" Pascal asked.

"Duels." Anduin glanced at the other party indifferently. "Prevention is better than cure. Since there are conflicts, it's not a good thing not to let them resolve them clearly. So in the future, if students between Gryffindor and Slytherin have conflicts,"

"They should all be resolved through duels, witnessed by the senior wizards of both Houses. Both sides can only use wands. After the battle, regardless of winning or losing, they are not allowed to harass each other in daily life and study. If they are not satisfied, they can apply for another duel, until they are satisfied. Of course, each person can only participate in a duel once a week at most," Anduin said in a well-organized manner.

"Oh? Duels? That's a good idea. If both sides have old grudges, or if there are disputes, they can agree on a time and place to resolve them through duels. This way, both sides can be convinced. If it's like before, where you sneak attack me once, and I secretly play a prank on you next time, it will never end." Pascal nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this suggestion.

"In that case, I suggest that the prefects organize and supervise the duels in the future, and the venue will be decided by both sides in turn." Seeing that Pascal was so cooperative, Anduin was quite satisfied, but he still reminded, "The supervising parties must ensure that the conflict does not escalate, and keep their promise not to cause trouble in normal times."

"Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you what integrity is!" Anduin's eyes changed, and he suddenly became sharp.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to them when I get back." Pascal replied expressionlessly.

At this time, Pascal's heart almost jumped out. You personally take action? Don't tell us horror stories. However, as long as I go back and use Anduin's words to scare those little lions, they should listen obediently.

Afterwards, Anduin and Pascal negotiated on the issues between the two Houses for a while, and then parted ways after reaching a consensus.

Pascal expressed that he was very happy about this. He was finally relieved. Being stared at by Anduin while chatting was not a pleasant thing.

Anduin was also quite satisfied with the result. He didn't expect the Gryffindor people to be so easy to talk to and reasonable. Moreover, he was also quite impressed with that Pascal, an unfathomable Gryffindor prefect.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I was initially thinking about whether I should fight them." Anduin said to Velen next to him with some amusement.

"Indeed, but this Hawke prefect of Gryffindor is really decisive and doesn't beat around the bush at all." Velen also nodded in agreement.

"Now that the Gryffindor and Quidditch issues have been resolved, I can free up my hands to properly rectify these little snakes." Anduin said in a relaxed mood.
