Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 835 Self-introduction

When the host of the International Alchemy Conference officially announced to everyone that Albert Anderson had won the Gold Medal for Pioneering Contributions, the conference site suddenly fell into a deathly silence. There were no applause or cheers, but only scrutiny and questioning eyes , as the alchemists on the scene turned their heads, they all focused on Albert.

  The feeling of being stared at by many people with scrutiny and questioning eyes is really bad. The alchemists present even selectively forgot that it is a very rude thing to keep staring at others. However, in the face of the oppressive eyes of hundreds of people, the expression on Albert's face still did not change much. After all, he was also a person who had seen big scenes, and the malicious eyes of those people could not make him flinch.

Isobel, who is particularly sensitive to other people's eyes, couldn't help but frown. She quietly reached out to hold Albert's hand, trying to use the palm of her hand to give him courage, encouragement and support, but Albert is obviously not a person who lacks courage. People, otherwise they would not be assigned to Gryffindor.

Of course, he knows that many people gloat over this, wanting to see themselves disgraced, and may even be forced to give up the gold medal for pioneering contributions in the end, and leave the International Alchemy Conference as they wish, and become everyone's after-dinner A joke for small talk, but these people are doomed to disappointment.

  The embarrassing atmosphere at the scene did not affect Albert at all. He got up and left his seat, and walked slowly onto the podium under the malicious eyes of countless wizards.

  The host looked at Albert, probably not expecting this to happen. After he took the stage, he quickly handed over the microphone.

"The scenery here is really good. I saw many old friends in the audience." Albert took the microphone, as if he was testing the function of the microphone, and said casually: "Of course, I know that many of you are interested in It is doubtful that I can win this award, but those who knew me at the scene should not have such thoughts."

"My name is Albert Anderson. I am 16 years old. Well, I will be 17 years old in a few months. I come from a Muggle family. The pioneering contribution gold award of the Cairo International Alchemy Conference today should be regarded as my fourth. an international award."

  At this moment, there was a slight smile on the corner of Albert's mouth, as if mocking those mediocre people who were jealous of him.

"I have previously won the International Wizard Chess Championship, the Magic School Potion Championship, and the Barnabus Finkley Gold Award for Excellent Spellcasting Technique. By the way, if I have time next year, I should participate in the duel competition, try A fifth world-class award."

   After saying this, Albert deliberately paused for a while, leaning forward slightly, as if to appreciate the changes in the expressions on the faces of the group of people in the audience.

"Of course, I have also won many other awards that are not world awards. Personally, I think the more valuable one should be the third-class Medal of the Order of Merlin I won not long ago. Because I restored a humanoid recovery spell that can help solve the threat of werewolves. I can completely understand your doubts about my award, but for me, it is just another award. Please allow me to boast here. I have won too many awards, but I am still very passionate about it. Collect various awards."

quiet!

   There was a dead silence under the stage, and everyone in the venue was dumbfounded.

  How dare he!

They never expected that Albert would tell them in such a way, you guys really think too much, I really don't need to cheat, because winning these international awards is as easy as drinking water for me, if you don't believe me, You see, I still have several world-class championship titles on my head, which is the best proof.

  However, Albert really dared to do this. He used the cruel reality to slap the faces of everyone present and told them to wake up.

  If there is no real ability, how can a Muggle wizard with no background win this series of world championship titles, and why should he become friends with those famous alchemists?

   Sporadic applause began to sound in the venue, and the alchemists who were familiar with Albert waved to him friendly.

  The faces of the other unconvinced guys were ugly, but they had to admit that they were overwhelmed by Albert's series of world-class championship titles.

Perhaps, there are really people who can win so many world-class championship titles, but they are definitely not as young as Albert, and this is a Muggle wizard, who has no wizarding background at all. If someone cheats, someone will probably say that your brain is broken , Should I knock my head open to see if my brain is full of batter?

  Aria, who was still unconvinced at first, also had a very complicated expression on his face at the moment, looking up at the young man on the stage who was looking down on them. Just now, the reactions of the other alchemists made him feel lucky, but after Albert introduced himself, Aria knew that he had completely lost.

Sierra, who was still a little nervous at first, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He was still worried that Albert would be unable to withstand the pressure and get embarrassed, but he didn't expect Albert to slap backhand, which brought an unexpected surprise to everyone. .

   Nicholas has always been very calm. Although he didn't have much contact with Albert, he himself has great confidence in the heir of Wild Smith and is very optimistic about Albert.

  At this moment, Nicholas is admiring the stunned alchemists around him, and he agrees with Albert's approach. Sometimes you must not back down. Backing down can only make other people push forward. You should beat them hard so that those people will know how to be in awe, and Albert happens to have this ability, even if he ends up falling out with some people. It doesn't matter, Nicholas thinks that Albert will not come to the International Alchemy Conference next time.

  Isobel stared at the figure on the stage, with a slight smile on his face, as if he was not at all surprised by what happened just now.

  She knows Albert, he is not a person who is willing to suffer.

  The counterattack just now was so interesting that it was not difficult for her to imagine the expressions on other people's faces.

  As for Catherine and Valeria, both of them were fascinated by Albert on the stage. The self-introduction just now was so handsome, and they were slightly attracted.

  A lot of people are blackfaced, in every sense of the word, but even so, what can they do? Is it possible to file a formal complaint with the International Federation of Wizards?

  Even if you appeal, is it really useful?

  Anderson was able to win so many international awards. It is impossible that no one was unconvinced and lodged a complaint with the International Federation of Wizards. However, Anderson still participated in the International Alchemy Conference and won the gold medal for pioneering contributions. This is very illustrative.

   After Albert finished his self-introduction, he gave the audience a few minutes of buffer time. Then, regardless of other people's reactions, he began to talk about his personal views on alchemy. In this respect, Albert is already far ahead of others, not only because of the knowledge he has with panel skills, but also because he has communicated with Nicole Flamel and even many famous alchemists. What he said on stage The things are very novel and refreshing, and most of the alchemists have very complicated expressions on their faces.

  They can clearly feel the threat from the sixteen-year-old child.

  However, just as people were immersed in Albert's speech, the people on the stage suddenly stopped.

  At this moment, everyone was stunned, and even wanted to yell loudly to let the people on the stage continue speaking, because Albert only spoke halfway.

  Why don't you continue talking?

  Is it okay to be so appetizing?

  Under the astonished eyes of the host, Albert ended his speech with a smile, handed the microphone back to him, and then walked off the stage directly, ignoring other people.

  The organizer of the International Alchemy Conference would not have imagined his situation just now, and Albert didn't believe it anyway.

  Since the other party makes him uncomfortable, he doesn't mind making everyone uncomfortable.

   Well, everyone probably realized that Albert deliberately didn't finish his speech to disgust them, and they couldn't be angry with Albert, because the show operation was completely within the reasonable range.

  You said he didn't finish, but Albert did.

  The organizer of the International Alchemy Conference had not given him much speech time, but from the self-introduction just now to the present, his speech time has almost exceeded half an hour.

  You said he finished speaking, but Albert could indeed continue to talk about many things.

  When everyone was left speechless by Albert, they all realized that this genius actually held a grudge.

   "You seem to be very happy." After Albert returned to his seat, Isobel put his face close to his ear and said softly, "However, you may offend some people by doing that."

   "If you offend, you will be offended. Anyway, I don't plan to come to the International Alchemy Conference again." Albert didn't care at all. After all, the two sides are not friends. Since they are not even friends, do you care what they do?

   "I think so too." Isobel smiled, as long as Albert didn't care, she didn't care much.

   Anyway, it is estimated that there will not be much intersection in the future.

   Albert came to participate in the International Alchemy Conference, nothing more than coveting the rewards given by the panel task. Do you really think he cares about the gold medal?

  Gold-plated things, what is there to care about.

With the growth of age and strength, Albert's wings have gradually plumped up. He will be an adult in a few months, and the restrictions on him in the magic world will be weakened a lot. It will also disappear completely, and the things that once troubled him will no longer exist.

The International Alchemy Conference really has nothing to do with Albert. After all, he also followed their formal procedures, and he really shouldn't blame Albert, otherwise it will become his lecture next, which obviously does not meet the requirements. process, so they really have to thank Albert.

   Then came the host's finishing work. They formally awarded Albert the Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution and the patent certificate for flying ointment.

  No one won the other grand prize, which did not exceed everyone's expectations. Usually, only one person will win the prize. Unless the alchemy results are very good, there will be basically no "exceptions".

  The International Alchemy Conference did not end here. The organizer also held a small party for everyone, and provided a lot of food and drinks, so that everyone can sit down and exchange their research results.

   Albert was quickly surrounded by a group of acquaintances, many of them laughed and laughed at his self-introduction, and asked Albert to continue the previous topic by the way.

Many alchemists who looked at Albert had complicated expressions, because they found that Albert already had his own circle, and there were quite a few of them, and there was no shortage of those famous alchemists in that circle. division.

  Albert will not be stingy, and will continue what he just said.

  Many guys who were very annoyed by Albert's coquettish operation all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop nearby, but what annoyed them was why the guy spoke so quietly.

  After Albert finished speaking, he was about to leave.

  He had no intention of staying overnight in Egypt.

   "Sorry, I have to take this medal back now." Albert tactfully refused the other people's request to stay, and said that we will meet again another day.

  That afternoon, Albert checked out directly, planning to use the international flyway network on the Egyptian side to return to the UK.

   "Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

  Valeria and Catherine also packed their bags and prepared to go to England with them to watch the next Quidditch World Cup.

"Don't you go back and stay here for people to watch like monkeys?" It's not hard for Albert to imagine how many wizards will come to watch him after this incident is exposed. He is not Lockhart, but he doesn't like to be watched by people .

   "Your previous wave was indeed a bit ruthless." Catherine laughed and teased, "I dare say that the "Finks Daily" will definitely report this matter."

   "Where will we live after we go to England?" Valeria is more concerned about this question.

   "The Leaky Cauldron is barely passable," Albert said.

   "Can't go to your house?" Valeria asked deliberately.

   "Of course, but you have to share a room with me." Isobel took the words.

   After saying goodbye to Serra and Nicholas, the four went to the Ministry of Magic in Egypt and returned to the UK through the international Floo network there.

   After all, they are adults and can take care of themselves.

   A few people went to the Leaky Cauldron first, and felt that the environment there was average and it might not be safe for the two girls, so they decided to squeeze a room with Isobel.

   "Looks like we have to lay a floor." Valeria was not too surprised, "Why don't we pitch a tent in your yard."

  Isobel put the suitcase that Albert gave her before leaving on the ground, and opened it with a light wave of his magic wand, directly opening a door.

   "Come with me." Isobel pushed open the door and said to the two.

   "This is in the box?" The two followed Isobel down the stairs and found themselves in a room.

   "Yes. We will live here next." Isobel took the two of them to visit the room, "So, you don't need to make floors, there are enough rooms here."

   "It's more spacious than I imagined." Catherine pushed open the door of the wooden house, and found that the outside was sunny, and there was actually a large herb field inside, planting a large number of raw materials needed for beauty potions.

   "It seems that we have disturbed the world between you and Albert." Valeria said quietly.

   "Yes." Isobel responded noncommittally, and suddenly said, "After Albert graduates, we should get married immediately, and we will send you invitations at that time."

  Valeria's expression froze, Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "He can't wait, is he too anxious?"

   "Uh, Albert is indeed a little anxious, but there are other reasons." Isobel did not intend to explain this to the two, "You will know later."
