"I didn't expect Professor Brod to give you such a high evaluation." The expression on Katrina's face was very complicated, or she was very unconvinced now.
At home, although her sister Isobel is very kind to her, Isobel is an out-and-out magic genius. 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 genius halo.
Katrina's magic 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 the freshmen in this class. She is talented.
She is willing to work hard enough to leave other students in the same class behind, even Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff cannot compare to her.
However, there is no if.
Albert suddenly appeared, covering up all the dazzling light of Katrina. Even Isobel, whom Katrina admired, the most talented wizard in Ravenclaw for hundreds of years, was far behind.
Katrina, who was originally very confident in herself, suddenly became depressed.
Compared with talent, the other party is better than yourself.
Even if you work harder, the other party's efforts will not be inferior to your own.
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 was ready to surpass her opponent at any time.
The actual situation was far beyond Katrina's imagination.
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.
Later, Albert showed extraordinary flying talent on the Quidditch field and helped Gryffindor defeat Slytherin. Since Katrina was not good at sports, she just comforted herself that as long as she could compete in other aspects
Just the other person is fine.
However, Katrina discovered that Isobel also admired this person in a rare way, thinking that he was very talented in the art of transformation.
At that time, Katrina was still unwilling to admit it. However, the latest paper in "Transfiguration Today" gave her a heavy blow, confirming Albert's extraordinary talent in transfiguration.
However, what about today?
What's going on with the ancient magic texts?
This is obviously an elective course for the third grade, but Albert Anderson actually learned it by himself?
Self taught?
Katrina was stunned by such a coquettish operation, and from the change in Professor Brod's expression, it was not difficult to see that Albert's level of ancient magic writing was so high that Katrina could hardly imagine it.
"Did I really choose the wrong opponent?" Katrina thought. Although she was used to being crushed by her sister in many ways, the girl from Ravenclaw was not ready to admit defeat like this.
Yes, she hasn't lost yet.
Since Albert is also very good at playing wizard chess, then...
"Play wizard chess with me." Katrina said suddenly.
"Wizard chess?" Albert was very surprised as to why the Ravenclaw girl next to him wanted to play chess with him. Although we all knew each other, in fact, they were just acquaintances.
"You and me?" Albert raised his finger and pointed at both sides and asked.
"Yes, let's play chess to determine the outcome!" Katrina needs to regain some confidence from Albert, and playing chess is a good way. Professor Brod said that Albert played wizard chess well, and
Wizard chess is one of the few things that Katrina can beat her sister Isobel at.
Albert suddenly felt inexplicable?
Moreover, what baffled him the most was the task of the panel:
Crush all aspects
Someone sees you as a competitor, trying to challenge you, defeat you, defeat the challenger in the field of wizard chess, and let her understand that she will never be your opponent.
The experience for this task is pitiful, and the points for increasing favorability are also weird. Why does Katrina gain less favorability than Isobel?
With only 200 experience points, Albert actually had little interest. After all, there was already a rich experience package like Voldemort in the mission panel.
Of course, if he could get it, he wouldn't let it go. Albert had done similar tasks before.
"Playing wizard chess?" Albert deliberately showed a surprised expression, "In the auditorium?"
"Yes, in the auditorium, play three games of chess." Katrina nodded.
"Well, if you want to, I don't care." Albert felt that the red-haired girl in front of him was quite pitiful.
After all, the name of the mission is to crush the opponent in all aspects, which means that he is crushing the opponent in almost all aspects.
Being a competitor with a cheater, she had completely chosen the wrong target.
"By the way, are the notes in your hand something you are going to give to Professor Broad?" Albert suddenly asked.
After all, Professor Brod already had an appointment with him, and Katrina's appearance obviously meant something else.
"Ah, I almost forgot about this." Katrina suddenly exclaimed after finding the notebook in her hand, "This is the note that Professor Bathida asked me to pass on to Professor Brod."
With that said, Katrina walked quickly towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Albert looked at Katrina's leaving back and couldn't help but shook his head.
In fact, he couldn't understand Katrina's insistence that she actually borrowed the wizard chess from Professor Brod.
The two of them started to compete in the auditorium hall, and even attracted a few gourmet people.
Albert lost the first set.
Katrina's wizard chess was indeed very powerful, and Albert, who was caught off guard, was swiftly taken away by her opponent.
However, Albert doesn't care too much. He doesn't care about winning or losing, but he cares about enjoying the fun of playing chess. Even if he loses, the mission will not suddenly fail. It is just that the mission cannot be completed temporarily. It can be hung on the mission panel at any time.
to complete.
In the second game, Albert won, which was a bit risky.
He deliberately played fast chess to speed up Katrina's rhythm. Perhaps her easy victory in the first game caused her to make a mistake in judgment, and Albert took advantage of the loophole.
In the third game, both sides were tied.
This time, Katrina obviously would not give her opponent an opportunity to exploit, and Albert chose a pair from the beginning. In the end, both sides exchanged all their chess pieces, resulting in a draw in the later stage.
As for the fourth game, there is no fourth game.
Because it was originally agreed that there were only three games, Katrina originally wanted to decide the winner, but Albert directly stated that she won the fourth game.
Although he didn't know why Katrina wanted to win against him, for Albert, if the two sides started the fourth game, he might lose miserably, so he simply gave up.
Katrina was very dissatisfied, but she finally chose a draw and said she would find time to continue to compete with Albert on another day.
"What happened to your sister?" After watching Katrina leave, Albert asked Isobel, who had been standing there since the beginning.
"It's a lot of pressure, but she has a strong will to win." Isobel said calmly: "She probably knew that she couldn't catch up with you in terms of magic, so she wanted to rely on her own strengths to defeat you."
"I think you must have put too much pressure on her." Albert muttered: "It is quite hard to be her sister when you have a genius sister."
Speaking of this, Albert suddenly fell silent because he thought of Nia?
