In the afternoon, there was a boring History of Magic competition. Most of the participants in this competition were Ravenclaws. There were only two Gryffindors, one of whom was Grant.
Grant, who lost the first game, obviously did not intend to give up, and he was not a person who gave up easily.
When choosing his role, Grant specifically chose to be by Noah's side, as if he was directly competing with Noah.
Noah: “…”
Professor Binns of the History of Magic slowly floated into the classroom and landed lightly on the podium: "Competition, oh, yes, Merlin is on top. This is the first time I have heard of this kind of competition. I only like to study The truth is, I don’t like this kind of competition.”
But the old professor did not dampen the enthusiasm of the students too much. He recited the rules of the competition posted on the notice in a humming voice. There was no mistake in every word or pause. It can be seen that this old-fashioned professor has a lot of enthusiasm. What kind of memory.
If the little wizards below were not supported by their determination to win first place, they would have fallen asleep by now. After all, even Ravenclaw would not deny that the professor's lectures were boring. A sound that hums like an old Muggle vacuum cleaner is so hypnotic.
"There are a total of one hundred quick-answer questions. Only the little wizard who answers first can get points. The little wizard with the highest score in the end will add ten points to his academy."
Professor Binns finished explaining the rules slowly, glanced at the little wizards who were waiting in the classroom, and said calmly: "Then, let the game begin."
"The first question is, when was Hogwarts founded?"
"901, Professor." The first person to answer was not Noah, but Grant beside him.
It was as if he had guessed what the professor was going to ask and answered before the other person finished speaking. Even the confident little wizards of Ravenclaw were shocked by this move.
Noah tilted his head slightly, and as expected met his provocative gaze.
But unlike before, Noah accepted his provocation this time.
There was a hint of coldness in the cold silver-gray eyes, and Grant was keenly aware of something changing in Noah, but before he could think about it carefully, Professor Binns had already mentioned the second question.
"What is Godric Gryffindor's most praiseworthy quality?"
"Fair." Noah answered first this time.
Grant suddenly turned to look at him, only to see Noah's cold, lowered eyes.
The other contestants were stunned, especially the Ravenclaw students who fell into doubt for a moment.
Why don't you ask the professor to finish reading the question? Is this how you rush to answer? !
Professor Binns was also stunned. He looked up at Noah and then at Grant, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he wrote down the score and asked the next question.
Noah and Grant only knew that their battle had officially begun.
"What caused Salazar Slytherin to leave school?"
"The conflict with the other three founders over whether Muggle-born wizards are trustworthy intensified. Ms. Hufflepuff's support for the admission of Muggle-born wizards completely led to Slytherin's departure." Noah Got this point.
It is not difficult to predict the question. Professor Binns is very fond of establishing the history of magic from beginning to end, so when setting the question, he will inevitably ask questions according to the timeline. To predict the question, you only need to determine a time range. You can accurately predict the questions the professor will ask, and then filter the questions based on keywords. Although this does not guarantee 100% prediction of the professor's questions, it can definitely answer most of the questions correctly. It's just that few people can do this.
Noah thought that his mental power was strong enough and his head turned fast enough, so he was not timid at all.
But what surprised him was that Grant seemed to be able to do the same.
Maybe he looked down on the other little wizards too much.
Noah was distracted and thought for a second and then quickly brought his thoughts back. He didn't think he would lose at all.
The next step is indeed the game between Noah and Grant.
Twenty minutes after the competition started, the eyes of the other little wizards who had not scored a single question were already stunned, especially the eyes of several little Ravenclaw girls who were full of confidence before coming.
There were more than twenty questions, but no one of them could get the chance to answer the questions. The only voices of Noah or Grant could be heard throughout the process.
Of course, most of the time it was Noah's voice that sounded first.
From the time calendar to various major events, from the reasons for the construction of various laws to the people behind the laws, even the Quidditch champion team of which year these two people answered in detail, which made people have to I wonder if they are two walking history books of magic or answering quills.
Merlin, is this really a fair game? !
Thirty minutes later, the Slytherin and Gryffindor students were already lying down, looking as if they didn't need to appear. Only a few young Ravenclaw wizards still had blazing anger in their eyes.
I don’t believe it. Their senior class is not as good as the two junior class members? !
In the later stages, Grant's attention was obviously unable to keep up.
High-precision concentration often requires extremely strong mental strength, and Grant's concentration is not necessarily excellent.
He was born into a Muggle family and attended a Muggle school before entering Hogwarts. At that time, he was a well-known genius in the school.
While other children were still imagining unreasonable things, he had already shown an extremely outstanding talent.
He has a photographic memory and quick thinking, a genius in the standard sense.
At the same time, he also had the arrogance of a genius. When he realized how naive his peers were and how stupid those self-righteous adults were, Grant lost interest in continuing to communicate with these ordinary people.
But what followed was a loss of interest. He didn't understand why his peers had to learn something so simple over and over again, and why adults continued to look for things that were obvious at a glance. After trying to explain again and again, Grant simply chose to give up. He did not interact with peers or communicate with adults about meaningless things. He immersed himself in a world that only he knew.
The parents realized something was wrong with their child, and they promised to take Grant to his kind, a school for "gifted children" when he was eleven.
Grant originally had great expectations for this, until that day he was the first to receive a letter brought by an owl.
It is not a so-called school for gifted children, but a school that does not belong to ordinary people.
He seems to be more genius than the so-called genius.
