Chapter 3 The emergence of the university hegemony system
When he arrived at Tom Sr.'s shop, Mr. Harris greeted Tom warmly: "Mr. Tom, business is booming! Please bring me a vanilla ice cream, a strawberry cone, and a colorful sundae." β
"Okay, Mr. Harris, please wait. Old Tom bowed, as if to thank his guests for coming, "It's so dedicated!" Alan couldn't help but admire.
"Owen, Owen Harris......" The ebullient call came from the back right side of the window.
"Arthur, it's a pleasure to see you!" Mr. Harris warmly embraced Arthur Weasley like a brother who had been reunited after a long absence.
"It's rare to have time to get together, why don't we go and have a drink!" Mr. Harris felt that he had found an opportunity, and that Arthur would definitely be willing to accept the handling of Muggle magical items.
"Okay. Glancing at his wife, Jasmine, who was talking to Mrs. Harris, Arthur Weasley agreed without hesitation.
"Ron can play with this lad of yours, be careful not to run far. As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy with red hair and some freckles on the sides of his nose came out and looked at Alan excitedly.
"This is a rare opportunity to explore freely. Alan didn't refuse the red-haired boy's warm hand-holding.
Ron was a very talkative person, and he didn't seem to see such a cooperative audience. As an excellent teacher, Alan is very good at listening, not to mention that Alan learned a lot of interesting information during the conversation. With quiet encouragement and clichΓ©s, Allen's common sense of the wizarding world has been perfected little by little, and his vest has been hidden even deeper.
"Look, Alan, it's so lively over there!" Ron, who was gushing about Quidditch, suddenly changed the subject.
Alan followed Ron's gaze and saw a crowd of people crowded next to the Quidditch boutique, cheering and cheering. Ron immediately stopped entering the Quidditch boutique and pulled Alan into the crowd instead.
"Wow, Malfoy is so good, he's got 5 Medals of Honor that can be redeemed for a Lawrence poster. A voice of envy, jealousy, and hatred sounded in my ears, and there were many more such voices.
"Who is Lawrence?" asked Ron.
"He's a Seeker for Ireland and he turned the tide in a recent Quidditch match and won for Ireland!" said Ron Howe, who made no secret of his adoration for Lawrence, and looked at the poster with a fiery look in his eyes.
"Ha, Alan, why don't we go too? If you answer 10 questions correctly, you'll get two posters!" Ron looked at Alan expectantly.
"Hehe, if you want to surpass me, try it if you have the ability!" Malfoy looked Ron and Alan up and down, all expressions of disdain in their expressions and body language.
Many so-called "superior people" have such a ability, without too many words, with their eyes can make you uncomfortable, let you understand your own poverty, your own humble.
Malfoy's blonde hair glistened in the sun, and it was a face that would make women scream "so cute, so cute" in any country, but this high-value face was full of pride, and the corners of his mouth showed a disdainful smile.
"We're going to overtake you! Ron shook his fist at Malfoy.
Malfoy looked at Alan carefully, this was a young man with the same bright blonde hair as he was, big blue eyes like the clear sky after rain, clear and innocent, a high nose bridge, slightly pursed thin lips, this is a warm and steady child who is very easy to arouse people's affection! This kind of temperament is really rare at this age, even the proud Malfoy can't help but say, "Your name is Alan? If you can answer three questions correctly, I will allow you to be my attendant." β
"What a tsundere teenager!" Alan thought to himself, as a homeroom teacher who has been teaching for seven years, Alan knows too well the true desires of these teenagers, and this good-looking teenager in front of him just wants his friendship, but this arrogant expression is afraid that he can't make friends! But when it comes to answering questions, Alan really has no confidence, after all, he, an outsider, has only read the original book, but he really doesn't understand the knowledge system of this world.
Ron had already pulled Alan to line up, and Alan came back to his senses and carefully observed the answers of the players in front of him. The competition is divided into junior and adult groups. In the past, none of the groups in the juvenile group answered more than 3 questions correctly.
Ron was already dumbfounded: "Alan, it's miserable, it's going to be embarrassing, I can't ask a single question, what about you?"
On the contrary, Alan's heart has been half relieved. This is all tired of Chinese children, but it's just some brain teasers and logical guessing puzzles. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Confident Allen reassured Ron.
Soon the line was lined up with Alan and Ron. The Quidditch clerk waved his wand, and saw that the title was quickly displayed on the giant parchment 10 inches long and wide: five silver sicos of the same size. It is required that the two touch each other, how should it be placed?
"Oh, I've never touched Ginsico!" Ron's hands dug desperately into his hair, tugging down tightly.
"This has nothing to do with whether you have a silver or not. Don't worry, I can fix it. Allen's confident look managed to stop Ron from trying to turn himself into the most brilliant hands.
"Put a silver sico at the bottom, and then the second and third on top of the first, and the fourth and fifth on top of the first. Alan said as he took out the silver sike to demonstrate.
No contestant has ever solved a problem so quickly, not even Malfoy. He accepted the five-pointed star-shaped medal of honor handed over by the clerk, and at the same time received countless admiring eyes.
"The second question is also about coins. The clerk seemed to be optimistic about Allen and winked at Allen. "The next topic can only be one person, who of you will come?"
Ron stared at Alan, which made Eren feel that he should be responsible. "I'll do it!" Alan looked at the clerk.
"Please close your eyes!" the clerk blindfolded Allen with a thick red cloth. The clerk then took out a pile of copper and placed it on the table, waved his wand, and said, "There are 23 copper and sodium here, and 10 of them are face up." The best way to divide these piles into two piles needs to be the same number of heads-ups. β
"It's too difficult, the positive and negative sides of the copper sodium feel almost the same, and you can't touch it when you can't see it!"
"It might take a kind of psychic magic, even if you don't open your eyes. β
"Even if there is such magic, you and I have never heard of it, this is definitely not something that a child can master!"
Ron looked at Eren worriedly, "It's over, Eren said he wouldn't spell!"
Not affected by the onlookers at all, Alan calmly and calmly chose 13 pieces of copper and sodium to put aside without changing direction, and another 10 pieces were selected and placed on the other side without changing direction, and then turned all 10 pieces of copper and sodium on the other side.
"Exactly! It's amazing! It's so smart!" said the clerk in amazement.
As expected, Alan solved the next three puzzles without any problems. The clerk handed Lawrence's poster to Alan. This is no ordinary poster, it moves! A man with a body like a bodybuilder, sitting on a broomstick, tearing the clothes on his chest, roaring in celebration of victory! Alan didn't think it was so surprising, after all, the world he lived in in his previous life could preserve much longer images than this. He casually handed the poster to Ron, Ron's ears were red, he didn't contribute anything to the game, but he really couldn't resist Lawrence's temptation, "I'll stick him to my bedside, thank you Alan!" Ron stammered in thanks, holding the poster tightly to his chest.
"Don't. Alan glanced at Lawrence, who was screaming at Ron's chest, "Then you won't be able to sleep at night." β
"Do you still need to continue to challenge?" The clerk was extremely kind on the side, and he also enjoyed the feeling that Allen's super speed would abuse the onlookers to the point of incompleteness, such a speed of answering questions simply made the onlookers doubt life, "Are you born without brains!"
"Of course. Eren must be able to!" Ron has become a fan of Alan, and he thinks Eren can do anything.
"Okay. The clerk waved his wand excitedly, not giving Alan a chance to refuse. He was equally looking forward to how far Alan could go.
"What is the spell of the Levitation Charm?" It was very simple, and most of the people present could answer it, but it was really difficult for children because they had to go to magic school to learn, and children had to be 11 years old to learn the charm. β
"Yuga Dim Leviosa. This is not difficult for Allen, who has seen the original books and movies and is very familiar with this spell. But at the same time, he felt that his challenge might soon be over, after all, he had only a limited number of spells to remember.
"Ding-the college bully system is at your service!" Just as Alan accepted the reality that he might challenge failure, a kind language, a familiar voice sounded in his head.
