When the answer to the last question was revealed by Noah, the competition finally came to an end.
Not surprisingly, Noah got first place and Slytherin got one point again.
Professor Binns took a careful look at Noah and Grant, complimented them both emotionlessly, and left.
The other little wizards were not in a hurry to leave, and all focused on Noah and Grant.
Noah straightened his robe and stood up, looking at Grant who was blocking his way: "You are very powerful."
"But you are even better." After relaxing, Grant felt his head throbbing, "You are a real genius, Noah."
He got out of the way, Noah nodded slightly and left the classroom.
As soon as he went out, the Slytherins outside the door burst into cheers. Sure enough, the genius in their academy was the most powerful one! Those stupid lions in Gryffindor are only allowed to carry their shoes!
But neither the curse nor the history of magic is the main focus of today's duel. The duel at night is.
Compared with the exams during the day, the duel at night is the most anticipated competition among the young wizards, and it is also the session with the largest number of applicants.
The more people there are, the more venues are needed. Since it is an elimination system, the method of drawing lots is used.
However, it is still early days. Under the deliberate manipulation of the school's student union, tonight's game is a battle between different colleges.
Noah was not released immediately, he was kept by the prefect.
"Noah, you did a good job in the game today." Neither the prefect nor Noah went to watch the game, but stayed in the lounge.
The other little wizards had gone to watch the game, so the common room was quite quiet, with only the occasional sound of candlelight and the fire in the fireplace.
Some snacks and black tea were placed in front of the two of them. In the past, it would have been some elegant red wine, but considering Noah's age, it was replaced with black tea. This shows that it is not an illusion for this prefect to sit in this position.
"It's an honor to win honor for the college." Noah would also say this in such a scene, but he didn't usually like it.
The prefect was very satisfied with his answer. Slytherin always liked this kind of talk and didn't care even if he was called "hypocritical".
But the prefect had also done his homework. He didn't want to make Noah unhappy at this time, so he didn't let the meaningless conversation last long and got to the point directly.
"How confident are you that you can face an opponent in a duel?" Noah was in his second year after all, and he could only be regarded as a reserve ace in their college, a "genius" title that held him above other colleges.
They knew that Noah was superior to other students, but no matter how outstanding a genius he was, he could not represent the academy until he had fully grown up.
He was sitting here just to find out Noah's strength and make better arrangements so that Slytherin could win the duel.
What, directly crush other colleges with strong strength?
Oh, don't be stupid, that would be looking down on students from other colleges.
Although Slytherin has been winning the House Cup for several years, this does not mean that Slytherin's strength must crush students from other houses.
Compared with theoretical knowledge and magic learning, the top students in Ravenclaw are considered excellent, and even Slytherin cannot compare with them.
In terms of pure dueling, even Slytherin must admit that Gryffindor has a surprising talent in this area. They may not be good at studying and only know how to get into trouble every day, but most Gryffindors are very good at fighting. The "courage" of their houses is not just words, even if Slytherin ridicules them every day If they are foolhardy, they are also admitting in disguise that they have enough strength to support their "foolhardy".
To fight against these two houses at the same time, even Slytherin must show due respect, that is, come up with a strategy that is enough to win.
Although Noah can't be called a decisive trump card here, if used well, it will definitely be the most unexpected card.
He believed that Noah was not a trustworthy person, so he needed to know from Noah's mouth what his strength was.
"It's no problem for those in the fifth grade." Noah said a more appropriate number.
In fact, it is not impossible to win against a higher grade, but he does not have an advantage in magic power, so it would be too troublesome to rely on skills.
It may not be a good thing if a genius is too sharp.
Considering that he defeated the fourth grade last time, Noah said a more conservative number.
The prefect nodded: "I understand."
As he expected, the prefect immediately began to tell Noah about his arrangements.
Because it is a battle between three academies, if they face each other at the same time, it is inevitable that some will not be able to meet their opponents.
Therefore, it was natural to keep a few in the first round of eliminations. The prefect gave one reserved spot to Noah, and he only needed to participate in tomorrow's duel.
"You can go and take a look." The prefect took a sip of black tea. "It's not a bad thing to know their strength in advance. After all, basically all the contestants are in a higher grade than you and have an advantage."
Noah nodded and prepared to get up and leave: "I understand."
"Noah," the prefect suddenly stopped him, "do what you can."
Noah nodded to him and left the common room.
When only the prefects were left in the lounge, the proud Slytherin crossed his legs and looked at the rippled black tea in his hand.
Noah is too close to that Lestrange. The good news is that this year, for some unknown reason, the eldest lady of the Lestrange family took the initiative to distance herself from Noah.
As a noble from a pure-blood family, he is happy to see this happen. No one wants the fallen Lestrange family to prosper again, even if they are all pure-blood families.
But he was also a little confused about what this young lady was thinking.
She noticed the genius' strength before anyone else, but she also suddenly pulled away when others started to try to contact him.
In his several contacts with Lestrange, he found that the eldest lady was a standard Lestrange. The family's reputation as "cold-blooded evil" was never covered, but if it was for profit, And if you tried to win over, why did you choose to stay away later?
Maybe it's because Noah's character doesn't meet the other party's expectations?
He thought about the brief exchange he had just had with Noah. This new genius seemed easy-going, but in fact he had the arrogance that a genius should have. He seemed to be easy to communicate with, but in fact he had enough confidence.
It is indeed difficult to win over this kind of person. He will be proud of his talent, but he will not be led away by it.
A genius that is extremely difficult to control.
You really can only choose to have a good relationship.
