Connor's Hogwarts

September to October are special for Hogwarts students because there are no school-level activities during these two months.

In fact, there are not many school-level activities at Hogwarts. Normally, apart from Quidditch matches and school banquets on various holidays, students can only rely on club activities to pass the time.

After all, the duty of students is to study. As a magic school, Hogwarts is a place for learning. Of course, it cannot hold too many entertainment activities.

But this year, this fine academic style was broken by an evil society.

"The preliminary rounds of the Pokemon Card Battle Finals are in full swing!"

After the first round of auditions, each grade has selected its top eight, and a total of 56 contestants from seven grades have advanced to the preliminary round.

The top fourteen in the school will be selected from these fifty-six people in the first week of October, and now, the preliminary round is in full swing!

September 30th, Monday.

What is going on now is the first-year quarterfinals competition. The time is after dinner time and the location is the castle auditorium.

To conduct a public card duel competition, a professional team to maintain the competition is naturally needed. However, since the organizer of the Yokai Card Duel final is still a "mystery" (although everyone knows that it was Connor, there is no evidence), and No student claims to be the organizer of the competition and is maintaining the competition... there is someone else...

"First! Never act out of emotion!"

"Second! Never miss a single bad thing!"

"Third! The referee must be fair and beautiful! Captain Dragonfly, the referee robot! Participate!"

Four strange dolls in red, blue, yellow and green colors plus an original Dragonfly Captain with normal colors came to the school auditorium. The five strange "robots" that looked the same except for their colors surprised the little wizards.

"What is this?! Is there someone hiding in this iron shell?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like it. Is it a magic puppet?"

"You don't care what it is, of course it's important to watch the game now!"

There were not many people in the auditorium, because today was only a competition for first-year wizards, and most of the people who came were first- and second-year wizards. Most of the seniors looked down on this "low-end game."

The original and genuine Captain Dragonfly is today's host. He has just finished his handsome opening remarks with the Dragonfly microphone and is now introducing tonight's game.

"One person defends the ring, and one person attacks the ring! Hosted by the red dragonfly captain, it is the Gryffindor ring! The ring guard: Parvati Patil! The challenger is Padma Petil from Ravenclaw. Er! This is a duel between sisters, this game must be very exciting!"

"Hosted by Captain Green Dragonfly, this is the Slytherin Arena! The ring guard is Draco Malfoy! The challenger is Ron Weasley from Gryffindor! Oh! The passion burning in the boy's eyes seems to be It’s going to set me on fire! This game is so exciting!”

"..." The little wizards felt uncomfortable because of such a bad robot, but many of them felt that something was about to awaken in their bodies.

There are also two sets of competitions between the two sides:

Eden Lake (S) VS Hannah Abbott (H)

Justin Finlay (H) VS William Stark (R)

In the first round, four people will be selected from these eight people. In the preliminary stage, members of the same college will not compete. Then the four people will compete in another round. The two winners will advance to the top fourteen.

"Malfoy! Stop my title of Card King of Stoat Mountain! I, Ron Weasley, will definitely knock you down here today!"

"Hahahaha! Is it just you? A member of the Weasley family? I'm afraid you haven't even seen a few gold cards!" Malfoy sneered. He turned over a handful of cards in his hand, shining brightly. The golden light blinded everyone: "Have you seen my deck? All gold and no silver! Tell me how to lose! Hahahahaha!"

Ron's eyes were full of determination. Since he was a child, he had used his bronze medal to kill the rich twins. Killing people beyond the ranks was his strength! Just Malfoy, die for labor! , Ron yelled: "Let's fight! I'm not afraid of you!"

The first-year monster card finals, full of middle school atmosphere, got off to a hot start!

However, what most of the little wizards don't know is that their competition is being broadcast live around the world.

In September, Lake Chess and Cards took a big step forward in its global domination strategy - a total of 28 newly opened Lake Chess and Cards branches in Europe and the Mediterranean coast have all officially started operations!

This also means that Lake arcades are blooming everywhere, as well as the official operation of the Lake-Transnational Floo Network system.

This incident can be regarded as a small earthquake in the magical world, affecting many people's lives and even changing the worldview of many wizards.

The world is so big, but many people are unwilling to believe that the world is very big. Now, Lake Chess has opened the window to see the world in front of these wizards. Connor doesn't know what the consequences of this incident will be, and he doesn't care.

The main task of the Lake family now is to vigorously promote the [Monster Cup].

All Lake Experience Store branches have been promoting the Pokemon Cup competition to be held next year since the store opened. This will be a global event, and you can register to participate unconditionally!

As long as you are a member of the wizarding world, whether you are a squib, a goblin, or some magical animal, as long as you can play monster cards, you can go to the nearest Lake Experience Store to sign up for the competition.

The Lake family also provides generous rewards for winning competitions. For example, the overall champion of the Monster Cup will receive 2,333 gold galleons, and the regional champion of the experience store will receive 233 gold galleons...and so on...

The generous rewards have attracted the attention of many wizards, and even many wizards who are indifferent to worldly affairs have turned their attention to the small monster cards.

At this time, in the first-floor halls and arcades of all Lake chess and card experience stores, there is a screen broadcasting the monster card showdown of the first-year Hogwarts students in real time. This is a real live broadcast on the entire network.

Although there is only a chessboard and no players on the camera, wizards from all over the world are still curious about this form of "broadcasting".

"Is this the format of the monster card game? It's quite interesting."

"But the game being broadcast is really not interesting."

"It's just a competition for first-year students, don't ask too much."

"You can still watch the sixth and seventh grade games on the weekend. Now, emmm, it can be regarded as a pastime."

"Don't worry, look at that chessboard. It's quite interesting. Yes, it's the one with all gold cards on one side."

The bored wizards were drinking wine, eating snacks, and watching the live broadcast in the store. They were very happy. After this wave, Lake Experience Store gained another group of loyal customers.

Half an hour later, the first round ended, and half an hour later, the second round ended. The winners were Ron and Ivan.

Then the third round begins, and the winner will receive 2 game points.

Connor set up a very magical competition system, because 3 and 7 are very beautiful and mysterious numbers, and the competition system also revolves around these two numbers.

Seven days a week, three rounds of competition will be held every night. After the top fourteen are determined, on Monday next week, the two first-grade candidates will become the champions. The other six grades will send one player to compete. The champions will compete in three battles, and the points will be calculated: the winner will get 2 points, each draw will get 1 point, the loser will get 0 points, and on Tuesday it will be the turn of the second-year winner to defend the ring, and so on.

So in the end, every player in the top fourteen will have to play 3 offensive games, 3 defensive games, plus 1 duel with the same level, a total of 7 games.

In the end, the seven players with the highest points advance again. After the top seven, three battles will be held every day, and then a points system will be used. The player with higher points will get more points. Two weeks later, the three players with the highest total points will advance to the final round. finals.

This competition system can well arouse the audience's sense of anticipation for the game. After all, suspenseful games are more fascinating. No one knows who the champion is until the end, and the British, no, humans, like gambling the most.

Connor is not interested in the outcome of the game, he only cares about how many gold galleons he can earn in the future.

"The monster card game is so fun!" said Ron, who finally defeated Eden and ascended to the throne on the first day of the game.
