Chapter 708 Fair

Although he and Catherine are just ordinary friends, the slightly intimate behavior of the other party still makes Albert feel a little uncomfortable.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Albert glanced at Isobel secretly, then cleaned up the expression on his face, and greeted Catherine with the tone of facing a friend.

"That's your girlfriend, she's prettier than expected."

Catherine looked at Isobel with scrutiny, and joked with a smile, "However, you came to participate in a competition, and you even brought your girlfriend with you. It's really enviable."

"How did you become the leader of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Albert tried to change the subject, so as not to be lured into a trap by the other party, and let him answer the proposition of who is more beautiful.

"Grandpa has a good relationship with the principal of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he persuaded him to let me be the team leader. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am now the assistant teacher of potions at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Catherine from Looking back on the playing field, he looked at the unique young man in front of him again, and the other party was more confident than before.

"Surprise, I thought you'd..."

"I have to find something for myself, and now I have a name in school." Catherine interrupted. She has a high attainment in potions, and her exquisite appearance makes her very popular in school. The most important thing is that she is a well-connected family, so there is naturally no difficulty in certain things.

"It takes up a little bit of your boyfriend's time, don't mind!"

Catherine showed a kind smile towards Isobel who was walking this way, with a bit of ridicule in her tone.

"I don't mind. Anyway, Albert will always have a bunch of beautiful female friends by his side. I'm used to them now." Isobel motioned Catherine to look at the Veela lady from Beauxbaton.

It is undeniable that just looking at her appearance, the girl who seems to be of Veela blood is indeed more beautiful than the two of them.

"My intuition tells me that she is not a good girl, maybe you should stay away from her." Catherine smiled strangely at Albert: "So as not to follow in the footsteps of that unlucky Waggadu student, although There's no proof, but I don't think the African continent is going to burn people's heads if it's hotter."

"She's right. Witches of Veela blood are very talented in charm magic, and it's hard for most boys to resist." Isobel agreed with Catherine's words.

The two of them didn't have the slightest affection for their beautiful girl, especially after the other party did that kind of shit, their feelings towards her became even worse.

Professor Slughorn is actually very curious about Kathleen's identity, and even more curious about their relationship.

Having said that, Mr. Anderson is really popular with girls.

"The competition is almost over, don't you need to comfort your students?" Isobel's words had the meaning of driving people away.

Just now, a student from the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was brewing the euphoria potion, but he added the wrong ingredients and messed up the potion. He had no choice but to give up the competition.

Such cases are actually not uncommon here.

"He doesn't need my consolation."

Catherine didn't really care about the result of this game, or she thought that Albert would most likely win the final championship and take away the golden cauldron.

That man is very powerful.

Catherine asked someone to investigate Albert's matter. When she received a bunch of magazines and books, she was in a delicate mood.

There are various indications that Albert has already surpassed the students participating in the competition in the field of potions. It is not difficult to see this from the competition just now, and he even knows people in the referee's seat People, you must know that Albert is still underage, but he has been recognized by more than one potions master.

"How is the research on beauty potions going?" Catherine lowered her voice and asked about her relationship. "Or, you've been in a relationship recently, so you forgot about it."

"There is no major breakthrough for the time being." Albert signaled Isobel to explain the current progress to him.

"Essential oil extracts?"

Catherine frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this direction.

The whistle for the end of the game sounded suddenly, interrupting the chat of the three.

The pharmacists whispering in the referee's seat also fell silent. They got down from the referee's seat one after another and began to inspect the finished euphoria potion made by the contestants. Some of them scooped up some with a spoon to observe the color, and even took a sip to taste it carefully.

The players were very nervous, looking at the whispering referees, like prisoners waiting for the final judgment.

"86 points."

After some discussion, a referee holds up a sign announcing the final score.

The red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the score.

For a table, the referee only selects the best finished product for scoring.

Actually, this is unfair to some players, but the current rules of the game are like this.

Yes.

They changed the rules of the Potions Tournament.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to encounter today's situation.

Everyone is not blind, so it is natural to see that the finished products of the two euphoria potions produced by Hogwarts School are of high quality, even far surpassing the works of other schools.

This means that one school will be squeezed out, which is embarrassing. Because doing so is unfair to other schools.

Fortunately, according to the rules of the competition, the referees can avoid this kind of embarrassment by not scoring Isobel's works.

As for Albert's euphoria, it naturally got a high score.

Even if there are wizards who want to make trouble for him, it cannot be denied that Albert completed it first, and the finished product is far better than the euphoria potions made by most of the players.

If such a finished product fails to win the first place, it means that the fairness of the referee has been questioned.

Of course, the wizards who can serve as referees are all decent potion masters. Naturally, no one will be biased and give as many points as they should, otherwise they will become the laughing stock of everyone in the future.

As a result, Albert scored a high score of 99 points, which directly made a lot of contestants gape like toads.

They all know that this is a score that cannot be shaken.

There is actually no difference between a score of 99 and a full score. It is nothing more than a referee who deliberately deducted a point because he did not want the opponent to get a full score.

The second highest scorer was Guy Bernard of Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This guy got a high score of 94 points.

Albert is sure that this score is definitely added by the grandson of the president of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, and it must be inflated.

Of course, it is undeniable that Guy Bernard has shown a high standard.

Without Albert, he would probably have stole the limelight in the first round. Unfortunately, he met Albert, and then suffered an inhuman and ruthless crush.

As for that Miss Veela, the level of potions shown is not bad. In fact, Alice is considered to be the normal level of the majority of players participating in the Potions Tournament.

Unfortunately, when I met a few cheating dogs, I didn't even have the slightest strength to resist, so I was directly bulldozed and ruthlessly eliminated.

The third place is the girl from Castrobuscher, the one Albert had talked about "cuckold" with her in the morning. Her euphoria is much worse than the two, and she only scored 89 points.

The fourth place belongs to the red-haired boy from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is said that he is of Scottish descent and has a hot temper. That guy is staring at Albert, full of envy and jealousy.

The high score of 99 points and the two beautiful girls around him made Albert a lot of hatred in front of other players.

The fifth place is a man from the Magic Institute who wears gold-rimmed glasses and wears a golden long-distance running man, who scored 85 points. The guy was accompanied by two girls, who were also secretly observing Albert, his competitor.

After all, 99 points is too dazzling, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the referee does not want to give a full score.

The sixth place is the blonde girl from Kodos Dorez, with a slender figure and a sweet appearance. It's a pity that beauty didn't help the potion, and he only got 81 points.

The other party was looking at Albert curiously, and even greeted the three of them gracefully under the eyes of the two.

This beautiful Russian girl actually heard the conversations of several people just now, and was interested in the youth potion they mentioned.

Well, any pretty girl will be interested in potions that keep her looking good.

Whoever makes the girls over there age quickly.

Valeria naturally hopes to keep her appearance, otherwise she will start to age in a few years.

However, in the eyes of others, this student from Kodos Torrez was obviously also attracted by Albert.

Hate value +1

Hate value +1

…

The seventh place is a pudgy girl from Durmstrang Academy. This school famous for black magic obviously does not have any advantage in potions, scoring 78 points.

The two unlucky people who were obsessed with Miss Veela were also ruthlessly abandoned by Miss Veela after they were quickly eliminated.

No matter how you look at it, it's still the best quality like Albert. Unfortunately, he has three beautiful girls over there, and they seem to be having a good chat. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with her.

In the end, of course, it was the students of Waggadu who barely scored 68 points.

In fact, his potion was only barely qualified, and a group of potions masters even got together to discuss whether to let the tall Vargadu's student participate in the competition.

Honestly speaking, letting him rank eighth is simply a kind of irony to Isobel, or a kind of irony to fairness.

With Isobel's level, she would definitely be ranked in the top three, but she was eliminated anyway. In order to show fairness, each school must have individual participation rules.

"It's really fair!" Catherine looked at Isobel and asked, "Will you be angry? You should have been in the top three."

"not angry?"

"Why?"

"I can't win the championship anyway, so participating in the first round is just for fun." Isobel said without thinking.

"Oh, that's right, anyway, the championship probably belongs to this guy." Catherine suddenly understood that Isobel's mentality would be so good, and other people might be wronged like this.

well!

It is fair to other schools, but not necessarily fair to the participating students.
