"Okay. Moving on. Now are the two of you ready for the next game? "
The clerk stood in front of the two contestants and asked kindly. Though from his eyes, its clear that he is now the most excited of everyone there.
"Of course!"
The two replied without hesitation.
"Well, let me explain the rules of the next game.
The both of you can pull a ball from this bucket, and the ball will have the type of question you will have to answer written on it.
Whoever answers the ten questions first wins, and if one person fails to answer or answers wrongly, then the victory is determined by who answered more questions correctly.
Of course, to make the game fairer.
You can also choose a genre that you are good at.
In that case, however, you'll need to answer five more questions than the other contestant at the same time. "
This rule seems to have only one option.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
One is ten randomly selected questions.
The other is fifteen questions of your choice.
Definitely the first option is more dominant. However, Braun decided to choose the second one.
The original Braun was an ordinary pure-blood child, who will certainly not hesitate to choose the first option.
But...
He is not the original Braun anymore.
Because there has been no magic outburst, coupled with eavesdropping on his parents' conversations from time to time, the original Braun became very sensitive and fragile, plus the kid's memory was inferior.
Basically, in his memory, in addition to playing, sleeping or eating, there is simply not much common sense that a young wizard should have.
If it weren't for Braun's crossing, this body would have been sent to the Muggle world to live with his Squib uncle.
"How about it? Have you thought about which option to choose? "
The clerk reminded the two little wizards who were pondering.
"I choose the first one!"
Malfoy didn't hesitate to name the choice most people would make.
Braun glanced at the type of title on the parchment and said lightly:
"I'll choose the second one."
"Braun! Choose the first one! "
Ron on the side pulled Braun's sleeve a little anxiously.
"Are you sure you want to choose the second option Mr. Foley?
If you don't answer five more correct answers than Mr. Malfoy, then Malfoy will win. "
The clerk kindly reminded.
"Seems like you are regretting your choice already. I don't mind letting him switch if he agrees that he is scared."
Malfoy scoffed from the sidelines.
Ron said anxiously:
"Braun, don't be riled up by Malfoy's words."
Braun glanced at Malfoy with his neck and nostrils in the air:
"I am not changing my choice. Let's get started. "
The clerk sighed.
Originally, he wanted to see if Braun could win, but now it seems hopeless.
In the end Braun is still just a kid who has not even started going to school.
How good can you be even if you are good at one of these topics?
Answer ten questions one by one at the same time.
Who wins between the two, the result will be obvious.
"Well, you can choose the type of question you want to answer first."
"Potions."
Braun said, pointing to one of the parchments.
No one was surprised.
Do you think a Foley would choose spells if he doesn't choose potions?
"Okay!"
The clerk nodded.
Then he signaled that Malfoy could draw questions.
Malfoy reached into the box and pulled out a ball.
He saw that after the ball left the box, a line of words quickly appeared on it - "Potions"
Malfoy was a little surprised but not scared.
Although potions is not something he is good at.
But he had also read the first year book in advance.
General problems really don't bother him.
Thinking of it this way, Malfoy thought:
"I only need to answer ten questions.
Foley, on the other hand, has fifteen questions to answer.
Even if he knew more than me, he couldn't be faster than me.
Well, the advantage is in my hands. "
He decided to use this chance to prove his superiority over Braun and proposed,
"It's fun. Unexpectedly, the two little wizards turned out to pick the same topic.
Maybe we should spice things up a bit?
How about we see who can answer the questions first?
Isn't that more interesting?
Unless you are scared Foley"
"Okay, I'm fine with it."
Braun also shrugged in agreement.
Seeing the both the contestants in tune with the change, the clerk waved his wand excitedly:
"Okay, let's start now! Get ready!
No need to raise your hands, you can go ahead and answer directly after seeing the question! "
After that, the first questions appeared on the huge parchment.
"White fresh."
The title just appeared.
Braun replied directly:
"White fresh is a plant with healing and cellular repairing properties.
Consuming it raw can heal superficial wounds, and the effect of diffusing its essence into fragrance yields even more outstanding healing properties.
Chopped white fresh is the material used to make the invigoration potion.
Wizards have also used a mixture of white fresh and silver powder to treat werewolf bites to prevent victims from dying of excessive blood loss. "
"Perfect answer! Excellent! "
Malfoy was feeling a little hateful.
I just hesitated for a second and the answer was provided by Foley.
And he found that maybe this setting wasn't very advantageous for him in answering the questions.
"Wait a minute! I think the game is to see if you can answer the questions faster than the other person, But it doesn't mean that there should be one common question for both of us!
Otherwise, what is the advantage between my ten questions and his fifteen questions? Each of us will have our own question and the one who answers fast will get the point"
After speaking, he poked and kicked Crabbe from his stupor.
Crabbe was taken aback, but understood what Malfoy meant:
"That's right! It's not fair! Malfoy is right! "
The clerk also hesitated and turned to Braun to see what he thought.
"I don't care."
Braun replied:
"But, Malfoy, if you want to answer different questions. This question must be counted. "
Malfoy hesitated and nodded,
"Yes. This question will be given to you since Master Malfoy pities you! "
Braun ignored Malfoy's sidekick, waiting for him to agree:
"Then I'm okay."
"Well, okay."
The clerk then proceeded, with another wave of his wand, another piece of parchment appeared in front of Malfoy.
"Can we start now?"
"Let's go."
Malfoy said with satisfaction.
Malfoy's side is "castor oil"
And Braun's side is "solitary grass."
Both of them answered quickly.
Malfoy was quick to answer at first. But by the time of the sixth question, he began to stumble a little.
When it comes to the seventh question, he become more and more hesitant.
Braun, on the other hand, has been keeping a fast pace.
Basically just as the question finished fully forming on the parchment.
And then, Braun answered.
"The Dharma Protector Tree is a magical Yamanashi tree..."
"Scurvy is a kind of herb in the magical world, easy to "cause encephalitis", causing impatience and recklessness, mostly used to make psychedelic drugs and deceptions..."
