Chapter 3, the emergence of the university master system

Ron does not hide his fervent admiration for Lin Qi, and his gaze towards the poster is quite passionate

Currently, no one has answered more than four questions correctly

These are merely brain teasers, logical riddles at best, seemingly designed to exploit the knowledge gaps of the wizards, rendering them unable to answer. As a mathematics teacher, his hobby is to engage in a game of Sudoku or tackle some logical puzzles.

This may require prophecy, as one can see even without opening their eyes

Allen demonstrated while taking out the silver cigar

Ron was dumbfounded: "Alan, this is terrible, I'm going to embarrass myself, I can't solve a single problem, how about you?"

Ron is a very talkative person, and he seems to encounter such a cooperative audience rarely—in fact, among the Weasley children, he is the least valued one

As soon as the words fell, a red-haired boy with freckles on either side of his nose emerged from behind him, looking somewhat apprehensively at Allen

"Ha, Allen, why don't we join in as well? We can definitely surpass the Malfoy family's child!" Ron clearly only thought of the positive outcome and had not yet begun to realize the difficulty of achieving this goal.

Allen shook his head to stop his wild thoughts. Under the subtle encouragement and probing questions, he gradually matched the memories that did not belong to him, integrating the knowledge about the magical realm left by his predecessor

This has nothing to do with whether you have silver or not. Don't worry, I can handle it. Allen, with a confident demeanor, successfully stopped Ron from turning himself into an exceptionally intelligent being.

Upon arriving at Old Tom's shop, Irvin Harris greeted Tom warmly: "Tom, may your business prosper! Please get me a cup of fish-flavored green beer, and one cup of pumpkin juice for each of the children."

"Truly dedicated." Allen had quite a good impression of Old Tom, and after seeing him snap his fingers to ignite the fireplace for their group of guests without using a wand, he felt a bit more admiration—though these were merely minor spells that could hardly be considered formal incantations, it was still not an easy task to perform such magic so effortlessly without a wand.

Ron felt that these so-called "true purebloods" possessed a certain ability; without excessive words, they could make you feel uncomfortable with just a glance, making him acutely aware of his own poverty and insignificance—even though his family actually belonged to one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.

"Allen, look, it's so lively over there!" Ron, who had been talking incessantly about the Chudley Cannons, suddenly changed the subject.

He is the seeker for the Irish team, and in the recent Quidditch match, he turned the tide and led the Irish team to victory

"Arthur, I am truly glad to see you!" Irving, having changed his previous disdain for the Weasley family while at home, warmly embraced Arthur Weasley as if he were embracing a long-lost brother

What a tsundere boy! Allen thought, as a homeroom teacher with seven years of experience, he understood all too well the true desires hidden deep within these young hearts

However, when it comes to answering questions, Allen truly lacks confidence. After all, as an outsider, he has only read the original work and some related materials. Although he is aware of the key plot points, he really does not understand the knowledge system of this world.

Listening to Ron talk about his family, Alan couldn't help but start to daydream: "Speaking of which, the surname Weasley itself is derived from a variant of the word for 'stoat,' which is a type of weasel. This animal has a bad reputation in many countries, including England. Its fur is a golden-red color, and Ron's father's name is Arthur, whose Patronus is a stoat.

Alright. The shop assistant excitedly waved the wand, not giving Allen a chance to refuse. He was equally eager to see how far Allen could go

Ron has already pulled Allen into the queue, and Allen, coming to his senses, carefully observes the answering situation of the competitors ahead.

"Alright, Irvin, please wait a moment." Old Tom bent down and bowed, seemingly thanking the guest for their presence—then Allen noticed that this elderly hotel owner, who was nearly bald, toothless, and had a face full of wrinkles, resembling a shriveled walnut, actually had a slightly hunched back.

Ron's ears were flushed red; the Weasley family upbringing made him feel that he should not accept a reward for a competition in which he had made no contribution. However, he simply could not resist the temptation of the posters of his favorite Quidditch players.

The clerk handed the poster of Aidan Linqi to Allen

Let me do it!" Allen said as he looked at the store clerk

Receiving the hexagram-shaped honor medal handed over by the staff, I also garnered numerous admiring glances

Even if divination could be useful, one still has to blindfold oneself now; there is no way to look into a crystal ball or tea leaves.

Do you still need to continue the challenge

We will definitely surpass you! Allen, let's go answer the questions." Ron waved his fist at Malfoy.

Then, the shop assistant placed a pile of copper coins on the table, waved a wand, and said: "Here are 23 copper coins laid flat on the table, of which 10 are facing up. Please use the best method to divide these coins into two piles, ensuring that each pile has the same number of coins facing up."

No one can solve the problem this quickly, not even Malfoy. Unless this contestant has seen the solution to this problem beforehand, but this young wizard is clearly not of an age where he can casually go out for a stroll.

Place a silver coin at the bottom, then place the second and third coins on top of the first coin, and position the fourth and fifth coins vertically on top of the first coin

This is a rare opportunity for a free tour. Allen unconsciously patted the gold galloon in his bag lightly, then took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself to the red-haired boy

Absolutely correct, at your age this is truly remarkable. Were you born into a mixed heritage family? The few pure-blood wizards from Ravenclaw who answered correctly before were not this quick. You know... oh, you might not know yet, but those clever individuals are better at philosophical questions rather than these Muggle math problems. The shop assistant was clearly astonished that such a young child could possess this ability, and he swiftly removed the red cloth covering Allen's eyes, saying, "Those wizards born to Muggles seem to excel at these little games."... oh, you might not know yet, but those clever individuals are better at philosophical questions rather than these Muggle math problems.

The boy before me recalls that it was his annoying manner of speaking and arrogant attitude that led to a feud with Harry Potter even before the school year began; his initial intention was merely to befriend Harry Potter

"Do not be afraid, I am here." With this reassurance, Allen patted Ron on the back, comforting him.

The shop assistant stood by with a friendly demeanor, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of witnessing Allen's lightning-fast speed utterly devastate the onlookers. Such a pace of answering questions made the surrounding wizards question their very existence, leading even those born as Muggles to wonder, "Am I simply born without a brain?" under the influence of the British mathematics education.

Malfoy's platinum blonde hair shone brightly under the sunlight, but his otherwise charming face was marred by his raised eyebrows, giving him an air of superiority and annoyance

Owen, Owen Harris... A passionate call came from the right rear side of the display window

"Yukadimle Viosa." This was just the right challenge for Allen, who had a deep impression of this scene from both the original work and the film. In fact, every time he watched this part, he couldn't help but recite it along with Miss Know-It-All...

The Quidditch shop assistant waved his wand, and on a giant parchment measuring ten inches in length and width, the question quickly appeared: How should five identical silver sickles be arranged so that they touch each other in pairs?

It is rare to have leisure time to gather together; why not go for a couple of drinks? Irving felt that he had found an opportunity, and Arthur would surely be willing to handle the matter of Muggle magical items

Ding—The University Master System is at your service. As Allen accepted the reality that he might fail in his challenges, a ethereal and somewhat dazed female voice suddenly resonated in his mind

"Alright." Arthur Weasley readily agreed, glancing at his wife Molly, who was happily conversing with Morgan Le Fay Harris, "Ron can play with your young man, just be sure not to wander too far."

The second question is also related to currency

"Please close your eyes!" The shop assistant covered Allen's eyes with a thick folded red cloth.

On the contrary, Allen's heart has already let go of half.

What is the incantation for the Levitation Charm? It is indeed quite difficult for children, as apart from having studied the spellbook in advance, one must attend a magic school to truly engage with the spells.

Ron looked at Allen with eager eyes, which made Allen feel that he should take the initiative and fulfill his duty

Malfoy squinted at Allen, the boy with light golden hair, whose appearance and attire exuded more of the aura expected of a pure-blood wizard than the Weasley beside him. Was he perhaps a distant cousin of his grandmother or mother? If he weren't mingling with the traitorous Weasley family, he would be more suitable as a follower than Goyle and Crabbe: "My name is Draco, from the ancient Malfoy family. You are Allen? Is this hair from the Harris family? If you can answer three questions correctly, I will allow you to follow me as a friend." He would be more suitable as a follower than Goyle and Crabbe: "My name is Draco, from the ancient Malfoy family. You are Allen? Is this hair from the Harris family? If you can answer three questions correctly, I will allow you to follow me as a friend."

"Absolutely not," Allen glanced at Aidan Linzi, who was roaring in Ron's chest, "Even without sound, just this momentum is likely to keep you awake at night..."

Unfazed by the onlookers, Allen calmly selected thirteen copper sodium coins and placed them to one side without changing direction. He then selected ten more and, similarly, placed them on the other side without altering direction, before flipping all ten copper sodium coins over.

Wow, the child from the Malfoy family is remarkable; he has already received five honor medals, which can be exchanged for a signed poster by Aidan Linzi. Such envious and resentful voices echoed in my ears, and there were many similar remarks.

A man with a physique resembling that of a bodybuilder sits on a flying broomstick, tearing his shirt open at the chest, and is seen mouthing the words "RUA!!!" as he roars in celebration of victory

Merlin's underpants! I have never touched a Slytherin!" Ron's hands were desperately buried in his hair, pulling down tightly.

Ron immediately halted his steps as he was about to enter the Quidditch shop, and instead pulled Alan into the crowd.

I am a pureblood, I just happen to have read a few Muggle books. Allen casually replied, then continued to answer the questions. As expected, he effortlessly solved these problems that were quite challenging for wizards or, one might say, for the English.

"The following question can only be answered by one person, who will it be?"

Following Ron's gaze, Allen saw a crowd gathered next to the Quidditch shop, with cheers and shouts of encouragement rising and falling.

"The Weasley family's pauper? If you think you can surpass me, give it a try!" Draco Malfoy looked up and down at Ron and Allen, his expression and body language conveying nothing but disdain

The line soon reached Allen and Ron

I will put it on my bedside, thank you, Allen!" Ron stammered his thanks, holding the poster tightly against his chest, planning to save some pocket money to make some compensation for the other party.

The clerk seems to have a favorable view of Allen, winking at him.

"Who is Aidan Linqi?" Alan asked Ron

Arthur's name is indeed similar to that of King Arthur, and historically, one of King Arthur's main adversaries was a Roman politician named Lucius Tiberius. Percy Weasley, one of Arthur Weasley's sons, has a name that is a diminutive of Percival, who was one of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur's daughter Ginny's name is a nickname; her full name should be Ginevra, which is a variant of Guinevere, the name of King Arthur's wife—so does this mean that the daughter is the lover of the father in his past life?

As an excellent teacher, Allen is very skilled at listening, and moreover, during conversations, Allen has learned a lot of interesting information

It was only when Allen, who had not yet transitioned from a Muggle mindset, noticed that this was not an ordinary poster; it was animated

However, at the same time, he also felt that his challenges might soon come to an end, as the spells he remembered were indeed quite limited

This is too difficult, the tactile feel of the copper sodium is almost the same on both sides, and it is impossible to distinguish them by touch when they are not visible

Of course. You have seen my friend's performance; he will definitely be able to do it! Ron has become a fan of Allen, even though he usually does not like know-it-all bookworms like this, as it reminds him of his less favored older brother, Percy Weasley

However, apart from the initial surprise, Allen did not find it particularly remarkable, as the images preserved in the world he lived in during his previous life were far more extensive than this. He casually handed the poster to Ron

"It's over, Allen said he wouldn't cast a spell!" Ron looked at Allen with concern, then realized that he actually couldn't either
