The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"It actually happened..."

In the laboratory of the editorial office of "The Golden Crucible", the editor used three potions that replaced the most expensive materials to prepare a wolfsbane potion without any problems, according to the records in the paper.

Although the editor had brewed relevant potions based on the papers many times before when reviewing papers, none of them had a greater shock to the editor than this one.

Because I had sufficient doubts about the paper before reviewing it, I had a huge impact on myself after I successfully confirmed that the paper was correct in practice.

"This Mr. Bursted is really..."

Muttering to himself, the editor immediately poured the potion into the container. For such an expensive thing, the editorial department of "Golden Crucible" will sell the finished potion that has been tested in practice as a benefit to the editorial department, so it's like Something as expensive as Wolfsbane Potion cannot be left casually.

After storing the potion, the editor immediately took the paper to the editor-in-chief's office. Such a paper of obviously high importance must be shown to the editor-in-chief immediately.

The editor-in-chief was drinking the black tea he got from the Ministry of Magic in South Africa and was savoring the taste. The editor-in-chief suddenly opened the door and ran in, and slapped a paper on the editor-in-chief's desk. The editor-in-chief was almost frightened and put it in his mouth. spit out the black tea.

"Are you crazy? I can't drink this black tea every time I meet you."

"Editor-in-Chief, you should read this paper."

Looking at the expression of the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief, who knew what kind of virtue he was, immediately became serious. He put down his tea cup, picked up the paper, and looked at the title above.

"Wolfsbane potion? Is this Master Damocles' new paper?"

"No, although this is a paper related to Wolfsbane Potion, it is not a paper by Master Damocles, but a paper by that Hogwarts student, the young master of the Burstead family, Sean Burstead!"

Sean Bursted?

Of course the editor remembers him. You must know that the most popular thing recently is the new mental recovery potion. It is said that the Bosted family, which has obtained the patent, has made a lot of money recently. As the creator of the formal mental recovery potion, Sean is of course the most popular one. Character, if he was not at Hogwarts, someone would have come to visit him long ago.

Sean Bursted's essay on Wolfsbane Potion?

And it makes this kid so excited...

interesting!

Opening the paper and looking at the content described in it, the editor-in-chief's face slowly became serious. It was as if he had not expected that the paper would unfold like this. He was surprised and admired at the same time.

In 10 minutes, the editor-in-chief finished reading the paper.

Putting down the paper in his hand, the editor-in-chief sat on the chair and was quiet for a while before asking the editor: "Have you calculated how much cost these alternative materials will ultimately save for the Wolfsbane potion?"

"About [-]%, because the three materials substituted in the paper are the rarest and most expensive three wolfsbane potions. Although the total price of the wolfsbane potion after replacing the materials is still very expensive, there are mass-produced wolfsbane potions. It's possible, after all, the problem with those three materials is that they are not only expensive, but also very rare. After the replacement, not only are they [-]% cheaper, but those rare materials are no longer necessary."

"Thirty percent is a lot, but it's not enough to be considered subversive."

Hearing the editor's words, the editor immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it is not subversive enough, but editor, you should also have discovered that this paper is not over, this paper is only the first research of this Mr. Sean stage!"

"Yes, I noticed it." The editor nodded, with a look of expectation on his face, and said: "If he can really complete the second stage, or the possible third stage, then this is definitely Subversive, and undoubtedly life-changing research for those wizards who have been bitten by werewolves!”

"Editor-in-Chief, how do we format this paper?"

"It is impossible to make the front page headlines when ranked second. This paper is not subversive enough to make the headlines, but it is still completely fine to be ranked second!"

"Okay, then I'll go do the layout."

"Go."

Taking the paper, the editor left the editor-in-chief's office.

The editor-in-chief was sitting on a chair, quietly thinking about Sean.

"It's only been about half a year, but I have written such a paper again. If this Sean Burst continues to develop like this, he will definitely become a very great potion master. I just don't know that he is... How far can you achieve before graduating from Hogwarts?"

Bursted Manor.

A snow sculpture delivered a letter.

The letter was quickly delivered to Gavin.

At this time, Gavin was sitting with his wife Elena having afternoon tea.

"Gavin, whose letter is this?"

"From the Wizengamot side of the Ministry of Magic..." As soon as Gavin said this, Elena turned her head without the slightest interest, but at this moment, Gavin continued: "The main purpose is to inform me. , Sean has another paper that has passed the review and will soon be published in the latest issue of "Golden Crucible".

Counting the previous two, Sean has appeared on "The Golden Crucible" three times. "

As soon as she heard the news about Sean, Elena immediately became energetic and said: "Being on "The Golden Crucible" again? This is really great. This kid is really amazing, at such a young age. I don’t know how much hardship it took to achieve this result, but...

What is "The Golden Crucible"? "

"puff……"

Gavin, who was as steady as he was, was also made to spit out the black tea in his mouth by his wife's sudden words.

Looking at Elena helplessly, Gavin said to her: "Elena, you don't even know what "The Golden Crucible" is, how can you still say those words."

"Although I don't know what the "Golden Crucible" is, but for you to come and tell me with such bragging rights, this "Golden Crucible" should be really amazing."

Smiling and shaking his head, Gavin nodded to Elena and said, "That's true. "The Golden Crucible" is the highest-ranking journal in the magical world on potions. Anyone who studies potions can have a paper published in "The Golden Crucible". "The Golden Crucible" can be said to have a status in the magic world, and Sean currently has three papers published in "The Golden Crucible", so his results are naturally very good.

Moreover, the grades of his papers are very high. In fact, if someone calls him Potion Master now, except for his age, there should be no major problems in other aspects. "

"Master of Potions? Then this kid is really amazing. He deserves to be my grandson. How awesome!"

Gavin looked at Elena with a happy face, shook his head helplessly, and gently rubbed the letter with his thumb, a happy smile on his face.
