Noah's worries were unnecessary because his roommates never came back.
Keya ate quite happily. Although it was not the live animals in the Forbidden Forest, it was still fresh.
After taking a short rest in the dormitory, Noah came to the greenhouse on time.
Although the herbal medicine class is also based on answering questions, it is held in a greenhouse.
Professor Risprout in the Greenhouse was talking to several Hufflepuffs, directing them to move some flower pots to designated places.
Outside the greenhouse, the little wizards who were preparing to compete were also ready, waiting for the professor's permission to enter.
Noah glanced at the number of people present, and unsurprisingly found that Slytherin had the fewest people, and there were only twelve people including him.
He really made his preferences clear. If he didn't like to keep these pets, it wouldn't be considered as asking for too much.
Seeing Noah coming, the competing Slytherin nodded to him and motioned for him to come over and stand.
Knowing Noah's previous record, they would not ignore him with superiority and inferiority. Instead, they took the initiative to come to Noah's side: "Lannister, you are here."
Noah also knew the reason for their attitude. He just wanted to know whether he could win in this game.
Noah is not false at all.
Soon Professor Sprout let everyone enter the greenhouse.
This is not a small greenhouse like those in the first or second grade, but a large greenhouse. There is even an extension spell inside, which makes the indoor room much larger than what you see outside, comparable to a magical plant ecological paradise.
It was Noah's first time coming here. Fortunately, the senior classmate who was traveling with him helped him find the place where the tables and chairs were placed.
In the past, there were no chairs in the herbal medicine class, but today Professor Sprout specially brought chairs and arranged the place more like a classroom. However, the professor was not surrounded by walls, but by various huge Magical plant.
After all the little wizards were seated, Professor Sprout walked to the podium holding a pot of grass with various leaves.
"Good afternoon, little wizards." She said with a smile, "It's a pity that we Hufflepuff did not participate in this competition, but I think we will not miss it next year."
Judging from the tone, it seems that he wants to hold the same competition next year.
Noah: "..." No way.
Professor Sprout had no intention of explaining it to them. After telling the rules again with a smile, Professor Sprout also announced the start of the game.
Well, the result was as expected... Noah's crushing victory.
Professor Sprout happily announced the results of Noah's competition, and then praised Noah directly.
Noah didn’t think there was any problem.
He seriously suspected that Professor Sprout was cheating, because the questions she asked were all from the textbook. As long as you memorized the contents in the textbook, there would be no problem in answering them all correctly.
Noah was able to score such a score because his reactions were faster than other little wizards. His strong mental power and reaction ability were his advantages. Compared with other competitions, the herbal medicine competition was indeed much simpler.
So far, Slytherin is one step closer to victory.
In addition to Quidditch and dueling, Slytherin has won five of the other nine competitions, laying the foundation for victory.
But Quidditch and dueling have the ability to overturn this victory. Victories in these two can directly earn ten points, and can overwhelmingly overturn the results of nine competitions.
So if Slytherin wants to win, he must win in Quidditch or a duel.
…
In the evening, the Slytherin prefects once again gathered all the dueling contestants.
He first nodded to Noah: "Thanks to Noah's outstanding performance, we only need to focus on Quidditch and dueling now."
Slytherin defeated Gryffindor in the Quidditch match before Christmas. The Slytherins who had tasted the fruits of victory were confident that they would also win in this Quidditch match.
Yeah, but Noah didn't participate, so it has little to do with him.
What he needed to focus on was the duel.
The prefect already has some list information of the contestants in his hands. It is intelligence data compiled by Slytherin's intelligence network. It is about the personality characteristics of these contestants and their performance in class.
Noah was also given a copy. When he looked through it, he found that the information was unexpectedly detailed, from his hobbies to the subjects he was good at, to his performance in private duels.
Slytherin's intelligence network really cannot be underestimated.
The prefect asked them to first confirm tonight's opponents and then take a look at the information to prepare.
"... Be careful not to use black magic blatantly." The prefect looked at everyone warningly, "If someone is eliminated for this stupid reason..."
His words were not finished, but the meaning was self-evident.
That person will be kicked out of Slytherin's social circle, completely isolated and lose the chance to gain a foothold in Slytherin.
When discussing private conflicts with Gryffindor, Slytherins would occasionally use dark magic, but they would not use magic that was too powerful to avoid being discovered by the professor and punished.
This is the default rule. After all, there are some guys in Gryffindor who can also use dark magic, but they are just not as proficient as Slytherin.
But using black magic under the nose of the professor is not a good thing. It is equivalent to violating the rules and will be directly disqualified from the competition, deducted credits or even more serious penalties.
All the Slytherins became serious, and they nodded solemnly, saying that they would never break the rules.
The prefect nodded with satisfaction, and then began to talk about some precautions and coping methods as usual.
The next opponent cannot be chosen by themselves, and who they are matched with depends entirely on luck, so they must be as familiar with the information in their hands as possible to be prepared.
And Noah... Noah just has to do his best.
After all, he is only a second grader. No matter how good his studies are, the power of magic is still open to question.
Noah also said he knew, but he also wanted to see how far he could go.
…
After the discussion, the Slytherins left the common room and headed upstairs.
Morgan and others, who had been anxiously waiting for the door of the classroom for a long time, noticed Noah's figure appearing at the stairs and couldn't wait to gather around him: "Noah, you're here."
Noah said goodbye to the Slytherin contestants and followed his roommates to his competition venue.
"Your opponent tonight has come out," Morgan said impatiently, "It's Ravenclaw."
"But that Gryffindor is in the same classroom as you."
"Huh?" Noah raised his eyebrows, "Grant?"
"Yes," Warrington nodded, "You will face each other in the second game."
If they each defeat each other's opponent, then tonight's third duel will be between them.
