Chapter 3, the emergence of the university master system
Ding—The University Master System is at your service! As Allen was coming to terms with the reality that he might face failure in his challenges, a ethereal young female voice echoed in his mind
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
Hehe, if you want to surpass me, go ahead and give it a try!
This may require a form of mental magic, allowing one to see even with eyes closed
Ron does not hide his fervent admiration for Lawrence, his gaze towards the poster is extremely passionate
The shop assistant seemed to have a good impression of Allen, winking at him.
"Arthur, I am truly glad to see you!" Mr. Harris warmly embraced Arthur Weasley, as if he were embracing a long-lost brother
He casually handed the poster to Ron, whose ears turned bright red. He did not make any contributions during the competition, yet he simply could not resist Lawrence's temptation
What is the incantation for the levitation spell? It is indeed quite difficult, as one must attend a magic school to learn it and gain access to spells.
The second question is also related to currency
Mr. Harris felt that he had found an opportunity, and Arthur would certainly be willing to handle the matter of Muggle magical items
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
However, when it comes to answering questions, Allen truly lacks confidence, as he is merely an outsider who has read the original work but is genuinely unfamiliar with the knowledge system of this world
Malfoy's platinum blonde hair shone under the sunlight, yet his otherwise charming face was marred by his raised eyebrows, giving him an air of superiority and annoyance
"Alan, look, it's so lively over there!" Ron, who had been talking incessantly about Quidditch, suddenly changed the subject.
The Quidditch shop assistant waved his wand, and on a giant piece of parchment measuring 10 inches by 10 inches, the question quickly appeared: How should five identical silver coins be arranged so that each pair touches?
Unfazed by the onlookers, Allen calmly selected 13 copper sodium coins and placed them to one side without changing their orientation. He then selected 10 more, also placing them to the other side without altering their direction, and subsequently flipped all 10 copper sodium coins over.
It is rare to have leisure time to gather together; why don't we go for a couple of drinks
As expected, Allen effortlessly solved the next three challenging problems
Allen did not find it surprising, after all, the world he lived in during his previous life could preserve images for much longer than this one
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
This is a rare opportunity for free exploration, Allen thought
Receiving the five-pointed star-shaped honor medal handed over by the staff, I was also met with countless admiring gazes
Owen, Owen Harris... A passionate call came from the right rear side of the display window
The line quickly reached Allen and Ron
If not for the *picture* book, being mixed up with the traitorous Weasley family would indeed be more suitable than having Goyle and Crabbe as my followers: "Your name is Alan? Is that hair from a Harris family child? If you can answer three questions correctly, I will allow you to become my follower"
Malfoy looked up and down at Ron and Allen, his expression and body language conveying nothing but disdain
"Please close your eyes!" The shop assistant covered Allen's eyes with a thick folded red cloth.
Do you still need to continue the challenge
Alright, Mr. Harris, please wait a moment
Allen's confident demeanor successfully halted Ron's attempt to transform himself into an exceptionally intelligent individual.
Ron can accompany this young man from your family to play, but be careful not to wander too far
The clerk handed Lawrence's poster to Allen
Even if such magic exists, neither you nor I have heard of it; it is absolutely not something that a wizard who has not attended Hogwarts can master
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
As soon as the words were spoken, a red-haired boy with freckles on either side of his nose emerged from behind him, looking at Allen with excitement
Ron looked at Allen with eager eyes, which made Allen feel that he should take the initiative and fulfill his duty
Let me do it! Allen looked at the store clerk
Subsequently, the shop assistant presented a pile of copper coins on the table, waved a wand, and then 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 copper coins into two piles, ensuring that each pile has the same number of coins facing up."
Old Tom bent down and bowed, seemingly to express his gratitude for the guests' presence
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 stroll around.
Ron has already pulled Allen into the queue, and Allen, coming to his senses, carefully observes the answering situation of the competitors ahead.
This is not an ordinary poster, it moves
"Who is Lawrence?" Allen asked Ron
Ron was left speechless: "Alan, this is terrible, I'm going to embarrass myself, I can't solve a single problem, how about you?"
A voice filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred echoed in my ears, and there are many such voices.
"Ha, Allen, how about we join as well? We can definitely surpass Malfoy. As long as we answer 10 questions correctly, we can get two posters!" Ron looked at Allen with anticipation
This has nothing to do with you having any silver or not. Do not worry, I can handle it
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
A man with a physique akin to that of a bodybuilder sits on a flying broomstick, tearing his shirt from his chest and roaring in celebration of victory
Ron is a very talkative person, and he seems to rarely encounter such a cooperative audience
As an excellent teacher, Allen is very skilled at listening, and moreover, during the conversation, Allen learned a lot of interesting information about mhetushucomcom
On the contrary, Allen's heart has already let go of half.
"Yukadimleviosa." This certainly does not pose a challenge for Allen, who is very familiar with this spell from both the original work and the film.
Under the guise of subtle encouragement and small talk, Allen gradually integrated the knowledge of the magical realm left by his predecessor, further concealing his original identity.
Ron looked at Alan with concern, "We're doomed, Alan said before that he wouldn't cast a spell!"
Malfoy squinted at Allen, the boy who, like him, had platinum blonde hair, and he possessed significantly more of the pure-blood wizarding aura than the Weasley beside him.
"The following question can only be answered by one person, who will it be?"
Many so-called "noble individuals" possess a certain ability; without excessive words, they can make you feel uncomfortable with just a glance, making you acutely aware of your own poverty and insignificance
Following Ron's gaze, Allen saw a crowd gathered next to the Quidditch specialty shop, with cheers and shouts rising and falling.
We will definitely surpass you! Allen, let's go answer the questions." Ron waved his fist at Malfoy.
Ron immediately halted his steps as he was about to enter the Quidditch shop, and instead pulled Alan into the crowd.
"Absolutely not," Allen glanced at Lawrence, who was roaring in front of Ron's chest, "then you certainly won't be able to sleep well tonight"
Wow, Malfoy is amazing, he has already received 5 honor medals, which can be exchanged for a Lawrence poster
Allen took out the silver cigar while speaking to demonstrate it
Currently, no one has answered more than 3 questions correctly
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. Allen will definitely be able to do it! Ron has already become Allen's fan; he believes that Allen is capable of anything
"Do not be afraid, I am here." Allen reassured Ron, his confidence greatly boosted
Oh, I have never encountered a silver cicada!" Ron's hands desperately plunged into his hair, pulling tightly downwards
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
It is truly touching to see such dedication! Allen couldn't help but exclaim
Upon arriving at Old Tom's shop, Mr. Harris warmly greeted Tom: "Mr. Tom, may your business prosper! Please bring me a cup of fish-flavored green beer, and a cup of pumpkin juice for each of the children."
"Alright." Arthur Weasley agreed without hesitation, glancing at his wife Molly, who was happily engaged in conversation with Mrs. Harris.
The shop assistant stood by with an extremely amiable 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 spectators question their very existence, wondering, "Am I just born without a brain?"
I will stick it on my bedside, thank you, Allen!" Ron stammered his thanks, holding the poster tightly against his chest
These are merely brain teasers, logical riddles at best. As a mathematics teacher, his hobby is to play Sudoku for a while or solve some logical puzzles
Absolutely correct! Truly remarkable! Indeed, so intelligent! The shop assistant exclaimed in admiration as they unveiled the red cloth
