Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 298 The First Wizarding Card Tournament

  As the end of the month draws near, the Wizard Card Competition organized by Albert is about to begin.

  Fred, George, and Lee Jordan didn't have time to make troubles recently, and they were all captured by Albert to help make improved wizard cards.

  The three of them have put a lot of effort into this card game. Naturally, they hope that the wizard card game can be promoted and be welcomed by everyone.

  On the weekend, Albert was woken up early in the morning by the excited roommates. He covered his yawn with sleepy eyes, and couldn't help complaining, "I really don't know what you are excited about, and are you not cold?"

  Although the weather is showing signs of warming up, the snow outside the castle has not yet melted. What kind of trouble is it for jumping around in thin pajamas?

   "Do you think everyone still remembers the wizarding card game?"

   On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Lee Jordan couldn't help asking again. This is the third time.

  Although he has experience as a Quidditch commentator, he still looks very nervous, probably because he is worried that no one will come to the wizarding card game, making the four of them the laughing stock of the whole school.

   "If no one came, wouldn't we have earned a registration fee for nothing?" George said pretending to be greedy.

   Albert could see that George was also very nervous, probably because he was afraid that no one would come to the competition in the end.

In fact, everyone understands that the popularity of the wizard card is decreasing with the passage of time. Most of the students are interested in participating in it for a while. When the enthusiasm subsides, there are really not many people left. The problem can be seen when the number of people participating in wizard card clubs is decreasing.

"It doesn't matter if you mess up the initial attempt. There will always be several failures in life." Sitting at the dining table, Albert poured himself a cup of hot milk, took a sip and said to his roommate, "And , you should have confidence in our wizard card game."

   "I don't want to hear you talking nonsense."

  Fred said angrily that he didn't quite understand where Albert's self-confidence came from.

   "Hey, if you pay the registration fee of two Sickles, will you not come to the competition?"

Albert shook his head involuntarily, took out Sickle from his pocket, twirled it at his fingertips, and said softly, "If registration is free, if you don't want to come, you won't come, but now they spend money to register, even if Regret that you don’t want to participate in the competition, and we will not refund the registration fee, if you can’t let your Xi Ke go to waste, right? You will definitely grit your teeth and come to the competition.”

   "No one likes to suffer!"

   "Since you have paid, few will give up halfway. What's more, the champion has ten Galleons."

  Although parents in the UK will give their children pocket money, it will definitely not be too much. Those like Albert who have a lot of Galleons in their pockets are definitely an exception.

"I see!"

  The three of them suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Albert charged the registration fee at the beginning, and solemnly asked everyone to think twice, because once the registration is confirmed, it cannot be refunded.

   Feelings are because of this reason!

   What a treacherous and cunning fellow.

   "You are witty."

  Shanna walked towards this side, happened to hear this conversation, and asked with a smile, "When does the wizard card game start?"

   "Starting at ten o'clock, the first round of elimination will be carried out first. Anyway, there are only 32 people, and it won't take much time."

  Ebert had already thought about matters related to the wizard card game.

   "Will the champion be decided today?" Shanna asked again.

"Of course not, the referee only has four of us once." Albert pointed to Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and then pointed to himself, "Four games at a time, plus those who don't want to participate, should be able to The top 16 will be selected before twelve o'clock." Albert estimated the time and continued, "If there is still enough time, we will select the top 8, and then wait until next month to decide the champion."

   "You are very familiar with the competition process!" Angelina and Alia came over together, and they were also preparing to participate in the wizard card competition.

   "I heard that you have prepared a brand new wizard card?" Angelina asked curiously.

   "Listen to who said it." Albert looked at his three roommates, and they all raised their fingers to Fred.

   "Ahem, it's not a secret anyway. The new card is ready." Fred pointed to Albert, indicating that he had the new wizard card.

   "You are the only one who talks too much."

   "We must give everyone some expectations, otherwise no one will really come to the competition." Fred had already thought of an excuse.

   Albert took out the card from the exquisite box and handed it to Angelina.

  Angelina took a closer look at the brand-new wizard card, which was completely different from the rough wizard card before. The wizard cards in their hands look more refined and standardized, and even the effects of the wizard cards are written in beautiful squiggles.

   Shanna picked up a spell card, on which was drawn the spell's swing movement, the name of the spell, and its effect.

   "When will we have our own cards?" Truman originally came to ask about the specific time of the game. After seeing the wizard cards in Angelina's hand, he was immediately attracted by these brand new cards.

"not the right time yet."

   "These wizard cards need to spend a lot of time, and they still need to be improved. This time I will show you what the future wizard cards will look like."

  Currently, Albert has no plans to popularize wizard cards, at least until he can mass-produce wizard cards, he does not plan to sell wizard cards.

   "Before, I was still worried that the wizard card would not be liked by people, but now I don't worry about it." Truman looked at the brand new wizard card carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "Shouldn't all future wizard cards be purchased with money?"

   "Officially sold, it should take a while." Albert never planned to provide wizard cards to others for free.

  The brand-new wizard card has indeed attracted the attention of many people. Compared with the original wizard card, it is not at the same level. Many supporters of the wizard card are eager to **** the card from their hands now.

   "Can a deck of cards be the champion of this competition?

   "You can think about it next year. This year's prizes will not change." Albert took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and then cleared an empty space at the end of the table, and then took out the registered contestants and started roll call.

   There were two students who didn't plan to participate in the wizard card competition. Albert directly announced that the other party lost the game. Angelina and another lucky student entered the next round of elimination before the game started.

   "Now, I announce the official start of the first wizard card competition!"

   Albert picked up the wand to create sparks, creating the effect of fireworks exploding, which stunned everyone.
