Chapter 130: The pressure is great

"I didn't expect Professor Broad to give you such a high rating. The expression on Katrina's face was complicated, or rather she was unconvinced right now.

At home, although her sister Isobel treats her well, Isobel is an out-and-out genius of magic. Katrina, who has been growing up under the aura of Isobel's genius, is under a lot of pressure.

Later, Katrina finally went to Hogwarts, thinking that she could show her talent here and get rid of Isobel's aura of genius.

Katrina's magical talent is actually very high, and she always studies hard, and works hard in all aspects, if it weren't for Albert, Katrina would definitely be the best among this class of freshmen, talented, willing to work hard, enough to make her peers unmatched, even Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory can't compare to her.

However, there are no ifs.

Albert was born out of nowhere, covering all the dazzling light of Katrina, and even Isobel, whom Katrina admired, who claimed to be the most talented wizard in Ravenclaw in a hundred years, was far behind.

Originally, Katrina, who was very confident in herself, was instantly depressed.

is better than talent, and the other party is stronger than himself.

than hard work, the other party's efforts will not lose to themselves.

What's even more depressing is that Katrina originally thought that even if she lost, she wouldn't lose too much, after all, she had been studying hard and ready to surpass the other party at any time.

The reality was much more than Katrina had imagined.

When Albert Anderson was invited by Professor McGonagall to join the Transfiguration Club, Katrina comforted herself that she would definitely be invited to join the Transfiguration Club next year.

Albert later showed his flying talent on the Quidditch pitch and helped Gryffindor to victory over Slytherin. Since Katrina is not very athletic, she just reassures herself that as long as she can outperform the other in other aspects.

However, Katrina discovers that Isobel is also a rare submissive to this person, believing that the other party is very talented in transfiguration.

At the time, Katrina was reluctant to admit it, but the latest Transfiguration Today paper dealt her a heavy blow, confirming Albert's extraordinary talent for Transfiguration.

However, what about today?

What about the ancient magic text.

This is obviously an elective course in the third grade, but Albert Anderson actually learned it himself?

Self-taught?

This kind of commotion simply stunned Katrina, and from the change in Professor Brode's expression, it is not difficult to see that Albert's level of ancient magic is so high that it is unimaginable for Katrina.

"Could it be that I really chose the wrong opponent?" Katrina thought to herself, she was used to being crushed by her sister in many ways, but the girl from Ravenclaw didn't plan to admit defeat like this.

Yes, she hasn't lost yet.

Since Albert is also very good at playing wizarding chess, then ......

"Play wizard chess with me. Katrina said suddenly.

"Wizard chess?" Albert was surprised why the Ravenclaw girl next to him wanted to play chess with him, although they knew each other, but in fact, they only knew each other.

"You and me?" Albert asked, pointing his finger at both sides.

"Yes, playing chess will determine the winner!" Katrina needs to regain some confidence from Albert, and playing chess is a good way to do it. Professor Broad says Albert's wizarding is a good game, and that wizarding is one of the few things Katrina can beat her sister Isobel.

Albert suddenly felt a burst of inexplicability?

And, the most inexplicable thing for him was the task of the panel:

Roll it in all directions

Someone sees you as a competitor and tries to challenge, defeat you, defeat the challenger in the wizarding chess arena, make her know that she will never be your opponent.

Reward: 200 experience, +1 opinion for Katrina McDoug, +5 opinion for Isobel McDoug.

The experience of this quest is pitiful, and it is strange to increase the favorability, so why does Katrina add less favorability than Isobel?

With only 200 years of experience, Albert wasn't really much interested. After all, there are already rich experience packs like Voldemort in the mission panel.

Of course, if he can get it, he won't let it go. Previously, Albert had done a similar task.

"Wizard chess?" Albert deliberately showed a look of surprise, "In the Great Hall?"

"Yes, in the auditorium, play three games of chess. Katrina nodded.

"Well, I don't care if you want. Albert felt that the red-haired girl in front of him was quite pitiful.

After all, the name of the task is all-round crushing, which means that you are almost all-round crushing the other party.

With an open competitor, she completely chose the wrong target.

"By the way, is that note in your hand an item for Professor Broad?" Albert asked suddenly.

After all, Professor Broad had already made an appointment with him, and Katrina's appearance was obviously something else.

"Ah, I almost forgot about it. Katrina found the notebook in her hand and exclaimed, "This is the note that Professor Bathida asked me to pass on to Professor Blod." ”

With that, Katrina walked briskly towards the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.

Albert looked at Katrina's departing back and shook his head.

In fact, he couldn't understand Katrina's insistence, and the other party actually borrowed the wizard's chess from Professor Broad.

The two competed in the hall of the auditorium, and they also took great pains to attract a few melon-eating people.

In the first set, Albert lost.

Katrina's wizarding chess is indeed very powerful, and Albert, who was caught off guard, was taken away by the opponent in a wave.

However, Albert doesn't care too much, he doesn't care about winning or losing, but cares about enjoying the fun of playing chess, even if he loses, the task will not suddenly fail, but the task cannot be completed for the time being, hanging on the task panel, and can be completed at any time.

In the second game, Albert won, and it was a bit risky to win.

He deliberately played rapid chess to speed up Katrina's tempo, and perhaps it was the easy win in the first game that made her misjudge, and Albert took a loophole.

In the third game, the two sides were tied.

This time, Katrina obviously didn't give her opponent a gap, and Albert chose a pair at the beginning, and in the end, both sides exchanged their pieces, which ended in a draw.

As for the fourth game, there is no fourth game left.

Because there were only three games that were originally promised, Katrina originally wanted to split the winner, but Albert directly said that she won the fourth game.

Although I don't know why Katrina wants to win herself, for Albert, if the two sides start the fourth game, she may really lose miserably, so she simply admits defeat.

Katrina was dissatisfied, but she chose to end in a draw, and said that she would find time to continue playing chess with Albert another day.

"What's wrong with your sister?" said Albert, after watching Katrina leave, asked Isobel, who had been standing there since the beginning.

"It's stressful, but she's very aggressive. Isobel said calmly: "I probably know that I can't catch up with you in terms of magical attainments, so I want to rely on my own strength to defeat you." ”

"I think you must have put too much pressure on her. Albert muttered, "There's a genius sister, and it's hard work to be her sister." ”

Speaking of this, Albert suddenly fell silent, because he remembered Nia?
