Chapter 298 The First Wizarding Card Competition
Towards the end of the month, the wizard card competition organized by Albert is about to begin.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan have not had time to do anything recently, so they have all been recruited by Albert to help create improved wizard cards.
The three of them have invested a lot of effort in this card game, so they naturally hope that the Witcher Card Game can be promoted and welcomed by everyone.
At the weekend, Albert was woken up early in the morning by his excited roommates. He covered his yawn sleepily and couldn't help complaining, "I really don't know what you are excited about, and aren't you cold?"
Although the weather has been warming up, the snow outside the castle has not yet melted. What kind of fun is it to play around in thin pajamas?
“Do you think everyone still remembers the Wizarding Card Competition?”
On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Lee Jordan couldn't help but ask again. This was already the third time.
Although he had experience as a Quidditch commentator, he still looked very nervous. He was probably worried that no one would come to participate in the Wizarding Card Game and the four of them would become the laughing stock of the entire school.
"If no one comes, won't we make a lot of registration fees in vain?" George said greedily.
Albert could see that George was also very nervous, and he was probably afraid that no one would come to the game in the end.
In fact, everyone knows that the popularity of wizard cards is decreasing with the passage of time. Most students are participating in it out of temporary interest. When the craze subsides, there will really not be many people left. From every month The problem can be seen in the dwindling number of people joining the Wizard Card Club.
"It doesn't matter even if you screw up in your initial attempt, you will always encounter several failures in life." Albert sat at the dining table, poured himself a cup of hot milk, took a sip and said to his roommate, "Also , you should have confidence in our Wizard Card Game."
"I don't want to hear your nonsense."
Fred said angrily that he didn't quite understand where Albert's confidence came from.
“Hey, if you paid the registration fee of two xicos, wouldn’t you come to the competition?”
Albert couldn't help but shook his head, took out Sico from his pocket, turned it on his fingertips, and said softly, "If the registration was free, they wouldn't come if they didn't want to come, but now they have paid to register, even if If you regret that you don’t want to participate in the competition, we will not refund the registration fee. If you can’t let your success be in vain, right? You will definitely grit your teeth and come to the competition.”
“No one likes to suffer!”
"Once you have paid your dues, few will give up halfway. What's more, the champion has ten galleons."
Although parents in the UK give their children pocket money, it is never too much. Those like Albert who have a lot of galleons in their pockets are definitely an exception.
"I see!"
All three people suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Albert charged the registration fee at the beginning and solemnly asked everyone to reconsider, because once the registration is confirmed, it cannot be refunded.
Emotions are for this reason!
What a treacherous and cunning guy.
“You are quite clever.”
Zannah walked towards this direction and happened to hear the conversation. She smiled and asked, "When will the wizard card competition start?"
Albert has thought about matters related to the Wizarding Card Competition very early.
“Will the champion be decided today?” Shanna asked again.
"Of course not, there are only four of us refereeing at a time." Albert raised his finger and pointed at Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and then pointed at himself, "Four games at a time, plus people who don't want to participate, should be able to The top 16 will be selected before twelve o'clock." Albert estimated the time and continued, "If there is still enough time, we will select the top 8, and then wait until next month to decide the champion."
“You are very familiar with the competition process!” Angelina and Aaliya came together, and they were also preparing to participate in the wizard card competition.
“I heard that you have prepared a brand new wizard card?” Angelina asked curiously.
“Who said that?” Albert looked at his three roommates, and they both raised their hands and pointed at Fred.
"Ahem, it's not a secret anyway. The new cards are ready." Fred pointed at Albert, indicating that the new wizard cards were there.
“You are the only one who talks too much.”
“You have to give everyone something to look forward to, otherwise no one will come to the competition.” Fred had already thought of an excuse.
Albert took out the card from the exquisite box and handed it to Angelina.
Angelina carefully inspected the brand new wizard cards, which were completely different from the rough wizard cards before. The wizard cards in their hands look more detailed and standardized, and even the effects of the wizard cards are written in beautiful cursive scripts.
Zannah picked up a spell card, with the wand-waving action of the spell, the name of the spell, and its effect painted on it.
“When can we have our own cards?” Truman originally came over to ask about the specific time of the competition. After seeing the wizard cards in Angelina’s hand, he was immediately attracted by these brand-new cards.
"not the right time yet."
“These wizard cards take a lot of time and need to be improved. This time I’m going to show you what the future wizard cards will probably look like.”
At present, Albert has no plans to popularize wizard cards, at least until he can mass-produce wizard cards, and he has no plans to sell wizard cards.
“Before, I was still worried that the wizard cards would not be popular with others, but now I am not worried anymore.” Truman looked at the brand new wizard cards carefully and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Will all wizard cards in the future cost money to buy?”
"It will take some time before it is officially sold." Albert never intended to provide wizard cards to others for free.
The new Wizard card has indeed attracted a lot of people's attention. Compared with the original Wizard card, it is simply not on the same level. Many supporters of the Wizard card can't wait to **** the card from their hands now.
“Can a deck of cards be chosen as the winner of this competition?
"You can think about it next year. This year's prizes will not be changed." Albert took out his pocket watch, checked the time, cleared a free space at the end of the table, and then took out the registered players and started to call the names.
There were two students who did not plan to participate in the wizard card competition. Albert directly announced that the other party had lost the game. Angelina and another lucky person were the first to advance to the next round of elimination before the game started.
“Now, I declare the first Wizarding Card Competition to officially begin!”
Albert picked up the wand and made sparks, creating the effect of fireworks exploding, leaving everyone stunned.
