Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 722 One point difference

   Many viewers looked at Albert with a little gloat, discussing in low voices whether he had been eliminated.

   There are quite a few guys who speak badly and ridicule him for being overconfident, but few people can understand their yin and yang.

  Albert was talking to Isobel, and ignored the gossip directly, showing that as long as I am not embarrassed, I am embarrassed to be you.

  At this moment, the referees had already walked to the edge of the workbench of the players from the Ilvermorny School, surrounded the cauldron tightly, inspected the potion that Williams had just brewed, and exchanged their opinions in whispers.

   "This pot of vitality tonic is excellent in terms of appearance and smell."

  The referees are whispering about the contents of the ingredient list, sometimes stirring it gently, or leaning over to smell it.

  Finally, they exchanged glances with each other, took out a spoon to scoop some medicine from the crucible, put it into their mouths, and tasted the pot of vitality tonic.

   "However, the effect of the vitality tonic seems to be..."

In fact, everyone was just staring at Albert making Buffy's mind-boosting potion, and neglected to observe other players making potions. As a result, the referees were a little embarrassed when they scored other players. They couldn't pass the addition of materials. The order and the number of times the potion was stirred gave a judgment, nor could it tell the strengths and weaknesses of Williams' modified Vitality Tonic.

  So, getting some vitality tonic and tasting the effect is the easiest way to judge.

  As for, why don't the referees try the effect of Buffy's brain refresher?

   It can only be said that the vitality tonic is easy to judge, even if there is any problem, the harm is not great. But Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion is different. No one is willing to take risks with their own brains, and even if they really taste it, it is difficult to give a judgment. Most potions masters will not touch this thing on purpose.

All right.

  Of course they can cook, but they can't make a perfect finished product.

  No one thinks they have too much money to spend.

  Everyone is very busy, who would waste time on potions that are doomed to fail?

  Of course, they can also judge whether it is a perfect finished product. Unfortunately, they have never seen a perfect finished product, let alone drank the perfect Buffy brain refresher. Even if they really give a judgment, how accurate is it?

  The referees did not make rash comments, for fear that their faces would be swollen again.

   "The effect of the vitality tonic has been slightly weakened, but when it replenishes energy for the drinker, it is milder than the usual vitality tonic."

"Yes."

Williams nodded and introduced: "This improved vitality tonic is milder and can be mixed with stamina potions. The purpose of the modification is actually for this purpose, so as to enhance the stamina of drinkers and replenish the energy they consume in a short time. Physical strength and energy, so that users can last longer."

  It has been said to this extent, and the referees have also understood the purpose of the vitality tonic.

   Some potions can be drunk together, but some can't, just like some magic spells can cause bad things to happen when mixed, and the improved vitality tonic can have positive effects when mixed with stamina potions.

In order to prove that Williams was not lying, the referees drank the vitality tonic and the stamina potion together, and soon discovered the incredible effect of the potion: the whole person was instantly full of vitality, even if they ran around the village for a few laps, they would not feel it tired.

After some discussions, the referees gave their scores one by one. When it was announced that Williams of Ilvermorny School had finally scored 90 points, the surroundings were instantly terribly quiet, with no applause or cheers, because everyone Noticed that several referees headed by Chairman Bernard gave Williams high marks.

  No one is satisfied with this score, Williams is an exception, because he only scored 86 points in the first round, plus 65 points in the second round, a total of 241 points.

   This total score is really not high, but Williams knows that he still has a chance to compete for the final championship.

  The other players were secretly calculating their own points, estimating in their hearts how many points they would need to score in this round in order to surpass Williams of Ilvermorny and win the final championship for themselves.

  The remaining two have an advantage, and their second round score far exceeds Williams.

  After the judges gave their scores, they walked together to the crucible of Hiroki Fujii of the Magic Institute.

  The quality of this pot of love potion is not bad. The surface of the potion has a unique mother-of-pearl luster, but... the taste is a bit weak.

  Most of the love potion can make the people who are close to smell the smell of the person they like, but the pot of love potion in front of them has a very weak smell in this respect.

   You can't even tell if you don't look carefully.

   This is obviously not a mistake made by Fujii Hiroki in making the potion, but the result of his improvement of the love potion.

  However, what made the referees very helpless was that they didn't know what the potion would look like after Fujii Hiroki improved the love potion.

   When unable to make a judgment, taking a sip is the best choice.

  Thus, a certain unlucky guy who was reluctant was recommended, carefully drank the love potion in the crucible, and closed his eyes to experience the effect of the potion.

"Mr. Fujii Hiroki, the effect of the love potion you brewed seems to be... very poor, and it can hardly produce a strong obsession or infatuation for the drinker, but... this potion does have an indescribable feeling." The first one The wizard who tasted the love potion came to such strange conclusions.

  In order to ensure fairness, the second referee continued to drink, but he was not as nervous as the first one, and gave a similar evaluation.

  The third referee gave a similar evaluation.

  So, all the referees looked at Hiroki Fujii, waiting for the other party to explain.

   "Yes, this is intentional." Fujii Hiroki nodded.

   "Interested?"

"This kind of love potion will not make the drinker become 'pale, as if he is going to be sick', and it will not make the drinker's temper irritable and irritable." Fujii Hiroki stood up and explained, "Its fascination effect is very weak, it will only make the drinker feel a little good about it, just like the illusion when falling in love, it will not make the drinker feel that something is wrong, and it will not cause the drinker to make embarrassing actions behavior, so it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day to express mutual affection.”

"Everyone knows that so far no pharmacist has been able to create that truly unbreakable, eternal, unconditional emotion that can be called 'love'." Fujii Hiroki continued: "However, why did we Can’t change the way of thinking? The relationship between the two is never created out of thin air, it needs a process, why can’t the love potion be used as a catalyst for the ‘love’ of both parties?”

  The referees looked at each other and felt that Hiroki Fujii's statement was very novel.

  Since we know that love potions cannot directly create love, why not try to create love indirectly?

   However, the referees felt that Hiroki Fujii's idea was still too ideal.

  The pharmacists who can come here to act as referees have obviously passed the ideal time, and they are a group of more realistic people.

"how are you feeling?"

  Albert feels that he has gained a lot of knowledge. He really deserves to be an island country in the Far East, and he can actually come up with such a thing.

"It's suitable for those who are shy, unable to muster courage, but who love each other. If the effect is really as he described." Isobel looked at Albert who was very interested in the love potion, and raised his eyebrows. Said: "Are you not worried about being eliminated?"

   "Don't worry, they didn't directly say that my Buffy brain refresher is unqualified." Albert asked suddenly, "Do you know the formula of this potion?"

   "You can get a golden cauldron in exchange."

"I will."

In the end, the referees gave their scores one by one. When it was announced that Hiroki Fujii of the magic institute had scored 83 points, there were sporadic applause on the scene. Many girls applauded Hiroki Fujii. An improved love potion is of great interest.

  Although he is 7 points less than Williams, Hiroki Fujii's total score is still far ahead of Williams by one point, with a total of 242 points.

  The unlucky Williams completely missed the championship of the Potions Championship because of a one-point difference. This cruel reality made his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

  Williams won the last round, but lost the championship by one point, and it felt like someone kept stuffing gold in his mouth.

  This contestant from Ilvermorny School hated President Bernard, who cheated him in the second round. If it wasn't for him, the champion would definitely belong to him.

   No one cares about Williams' change of expression.

  But they definitely noticed the ugly Fujii Hiroki, although the total score surpassed the players from Ilvermorny School, it was only one point higher, and it was almost announced that he would miss the championship of the Potions Championship.

  Everyone's eyes followed the referees to the last crucible.

  The referees looked around the crucible and the list of ingredients for a long time, but no one knew what this pot of viscous purple potion was.

  Finally, one of the referees couldn't help but asked, "Miss Daniela, can you tell me what potion this is?"

   "Protective potion." Daniela stepped forward and introduced.

   "Protective potion?"

   "Literally, drinking it can make people have some magic resistance, just like the fire dragon skin can resist most spells such as the stun spell. Of course, its effect is not as strong as imagined."

   The referees looked at each other in blank dismay. They had heard of similar things before, but most of them were deceptive things. If the potion provided by Daniela really had that effect, it would be considered a remarkable thing.

It's a pity that things always go a little wrong. The effect of the protective potion is really not very good. After drinking the potion, a certain unlucky referee suffered a stun spell and passed out on the spot. This bottle of protective potion seems to have no effect. Have a protective effect.

   There was an embarrassing silence, and Hiroki Fujii couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and he clenched his fists to encourage himself: there is still a chance.

   "This protective potion can only resist some less powerful spells." Daniela explained awkwardly, "Spells like the Pimple Curse or the Soft Legs Curse."

   Everyone looked at the referee who had just been awakened, and the latter shook his head again and again, indicating that he would no longer participate in the test.

   Well, it turned out to be useful.

  However, this thing is too tasteless.

   Only scored 76 points in the end.

  Although she is the bottom of the three, Daniela is very satisfied, because her total score surpassed several other players, with a total of 243 points.

   Yes, one point higher than Hiroki Fujii.

  As soon as the final score came out, the expression of Fujii Hiroki, who was still smiling, froze, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

  He felt that he was being played by someone.

  No way, Hiroki Fujii also personally experienced the change of Williams' mood once. The feeling of being constantly stuffed into his mouth is not good.

Just when everyone thought that Daniela had won the Potions Championship, a staff member walked towards this side with a house elf. Seeing this scene, Daniela's expression froze instantly, and her heart There was a bad premonition, and the joy of winning the championship just now was gone.

  Principal Castrobuscher and the students, who were still applauding vigorously, froze, as if they had been constipated for several days.
