Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 183 When the game is on

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team! Let me introduce you to Dimitrov!"

A figure in red clothes riding on a broomstick flew into the arena from an entrance below. He flew so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.He won wild cheers from the Bulgarian supporters.

Then the Bulgarian team members Ivanova, Zoglav, Levsky, Volkanov, and Volkov appeared successively, and the final highlight was the Bulgarian team's seeker-Viktor Krum !

"It's him, it's him!" shouted Ron, following Krum with his panoramic telescope, and Harry quickly pointed his own telescope at him.

Neither Harry nor Ron expected that there would be only one world-class Quidditch star. At this point, Harry, who had the Quidditch talent inherited from his father, felt inferior.

If nothing happened to Harry's parents, or if Harry was placed in a wizarding family with access to broomsticks by Dumbledore, so that Harry could be exposed to Quidditch at a young age, then Harry might still be able to compete with Krum. One or two.

Unfortunately, the heavy shackles of fate caused Harry to miss the opportunity to become a top professional Quidditch player.

Then came the Irish Quidditch team, Connolly, Ryan, Troy, Mallett, Moran, Quigley, Linzy, but no player got more cheers than Croom's.

"And our referee today is Hassan Mustafa, the well-supported president of the International Quidditch Federation who flew all the way from Egypt!"

A short, lean wizard wearing pure gold robes that matched the colors of the stadium strode onto the field.He was completely bald on top of his head, but he had a beard that rivaled Uncle Vernon's.A silver whistle protruded from beneath his beard, and he held a large wooden box under one arm and his broomstick under the other.

Mustafa kicked the wooden box away, and four balls suddenly jumped into the air, the bright red Quaffle, the two black Bludgers, and the very small Golden Snitch with wings. .

Musta whistled and followed the balls into the air.

"Ah, he-he-he-they're off!" screamed Bagman. "It's Mallett! Troy! Moran! Dimitrov! Another pass to Mallett! Troy! Levski." !Molan!”

The world-class professional Quidditch game is indeed unmatched by the Hogwarts Quidditch school game. It is no wonder that Wood, the best goalkeeper at Hogwarts, can only be a substitute when he first joins the professional team, and he The team he plays for is not the best yet.

It is foreseeable that if Wood is still at the school team level and does not continue to improve, his substitute may continue to be used or even eliminated by the team.

The players in the Quidditch World Cup are all Firebolts. The speed of the Golden Snitch in this game is several notches higher than that of Harry and his school team.

When Harry watched the game, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. If he waited at his current level, he might not see the Golden Snitch in the entire game.

The cooperation between the players trained under such conditions is even more exquisite. The speed of the paratroopers is simply unbelievable. The chasers keep passing the Quaffle to other players. The speed is so fast that Bagman can only There was no time to announce their names.

Even a good player like Harry has to slow down when watching the game with a panoramic telescope, and only with the help of the game analysis magic set up on the telescope can he understand the true situation of the game.

It's just that Harry slowed down his movements and couldn't keep up with the rhythm when watching the game——

"Eagle Head Attack Formation." Harry read the text through the magic of the telescope, and at the same time saw three Irish Chasers flying close together, Troy in the middle, and slightly ahead of them were Mallett and Moran, three of them together. Approaching the Bulgarian team.Then, the words "Boskov Tactics" flashed on the camera, and Troy pretended to rush up with the Quaffle, diverting the Bulgarian chaser Ivanova, and then threw the ball to Moran.Volkov, one of the Bulgarian batters, hit the flying Bludger hard with the short stick in his hand and hit it toward Moran; Moran ducked down, avoided the Bludger, and threw The quaffle was caught by Levski, who was hovering below.

Just when Harry was watching the tactics of this professional Quidditch player with great interest,

"Troy scores a goal!" Bagman roared with a loud voice, and the whole audience cheered and cheered, making the stadium tremble, and Harry's telescope showed that the ghost balloon had been taken away by Levski.

"Harry, if you don't watch at normal speed, you will miss the wonderful scene." Hermione shouted. After Troy scored, he circled the field. Hermione jumped up and down excitedly, waving her arms constantly. .

After several years of fermentation, mainly due to Dumbledore's influence, Maple's idea of ​​changing the Quidditch game was successfully implemented in the Quidditch World Cup with the help of Dumbledore's influence.

The Irish Chasers are superb.They work together perfectly and their movements are very coordinated.As for a king like Viktor Krum who brings a bunch of bronzes to his teammates, or he can catch the golden snitch immediately when he first comes into contact with the invincibility limit.Or just wait for the brief 1-minute opportunity for the Golden Snitch to turn into purple gold.

To seize this one-minute opportunity, in addition to relying on extraordinary skills, you also have to bet on your own luck.

Because the changes of the purple gold and golden snitches do not appear in turn, but change randomly according to probability.

For those who are favored by destiny, the one-quarter probability may be one-half or even one, but for the African chiefs who are patronized by the broom star, the one-quarter probability may be zero.

The Golden Snitch has three levels: light gold, golden, and purple gold. The speed of the Snitch doubles every time it reaches a level. Moreover, after 1 minute, the Purple Golden Snitch will immediately turn into a Pale Golden Snitch and last for 4 minutes before continuing. A change in probability.

Therefore, that one second difference may be a huge difference. Not only will he not get the top bonus of the Purple and Golden Snitch, but he will also miss the 150 points of the Golden Snitch and only get [-] points.

The birth of the Firebolt directly upgraded the Nimbus 2001 to several levels. The speed was several times higher than that of the Nimbus series, and the competition became more cruel.

In just 10 minutes, the Irish team scored three goals, turning the score into 10-[-], and there were still [-] minutes left before the Golden Snitch lifted its protection.

In Krum's eyes, these two 10 minutes may be longer than a few hours. If the Irish team continues to widen the score in these two 10 minutes, so that the gap between them exceeds 150 points, then Krum They can only wait for the [-]-point Golden Snitch one hour later, and even the purple-gold Snitch only has a chance to make a comeback two hours later.

It's just his pig teammates. How can the score be improved in two hours? If the team can't save even the Purple and Golden Snitch, then they really cheated their teammates!

After Ireland took a thirty-point lead, the game became more intense and more brutal.Bulgaria's batsmen Volkov and Volkanov worked hard to knock Bludgers towards the Irish Chasers and try to deny them some of their best attack.Twice they were forced to spread out, and finally Ivanov finally broke through their formation, evading goalkeeper Ryan and scoring Bulgaria's first goal.

"Plug your ears with your fingers!" Mr. Weasley warned loudly when he saw the Veela starting to dance in celebration.

After having the previous experience of being charmed, Harry and Ron immediately closed their eyes.After more than ten seconds, they slightly exposed their eyelids, saw the Veela stop dancing, and then opened their eyes again to continue watching the game.

The ghost balloon was in the hands of the Bulgarian team again, but it was quickly snatched away by the Irish team. Then, under the strong attack of the Irish team, the Bulgarian team scored five more goals.

But at this time, the audience's attention is no longer on the chaser——

The three 10-minute limit has ended, and the gap between the two teams has not reached [-] points.

"Have they seen the Golden Snitch?" When Klum made a move, some viewers immediately shouted.

I saw two seekers, Krum and Linzi, falling quickly among the chasers. They were so fast, as if they had jumped from a height of more than a thousand meters without a parachute.

"They're going to fall to the ground!" Hermione next to Harry screamed.

She was only half right - at the last second, the Viktor Krew ceased its dive, rose again, and circled away.Lin Qi fell heavily to the ground with a bang that could be heard throughout the gym.There were laments from the seats in the Irish audience.

"Fool!" complained Mr. Weasley, "Krum is faking!"

"The game was suspended," Mr. Bagman yelled, "while a highly trained on-field doctor rushed onto the field to examine Aidan Linzi's injury."

Harry hurriedly pressed the replay and game analysis buttons on the panoramic telescope, adjusted the speed dial, and then put the telescope back on his eyes.

He watched as Krum and Linzi swooped down again in slow motion.A line of glowing purple text flashed across his lens: Wonsky Feint - Containing the Dangerous Seeker.

He saw that when Krum stopped diving in time and Linzi fell heavily to the ground, Krum was very focused and his facial muscles were tense. Then Harry understood that Krum did not see the golden color at all. Snitch, he just wanted Lin Qi to imitate him.Harry had never seen anyone fly like that. Krum looked as if he wasn't using a broomstick at all. He was flying freely in the air, as if he didn't rely on anything at all, and was as light as a feather.

Seeing Wronski's fake move, Harry wanted to give it a try, but he didn't have the confidence to do it to Krum's level.

While Lynch was recovering, Krum was circling above Lin Qi's head. He wanted to allow Lin Qi to search for the Golden Snitch without any interference during the time when Lin Qi was recovering her strength.

It's just that he unfortunately did not get the favor of fate. After Lynch recovered and returned to the field amidst the loud cheers of the supporters in green, Krum still found no trace of the Golden Snitch.

After the game resumed, Ireland's chasers quickly organized an offensive. After another 15 tense and intense minutes, the Irish team scored ten more goals in succession, directly pulling the score to 170 points.

It's not even an hour yet, and the Golden Snitch an hour later is already dead.And two hours later, if the Bulgarian team still scores like this, even if Krum catches the Purple Snitch, the score will only be ten plus one hundred and then doubled to two hundred and two, and the Irish team only needs to score five more goals in the middle. Can win the game.

But with the Bulgarian team's level, limiting the number of goals scored by the Irish team to less than five goals in the next hour or so was undoubtedly more difficult than letting Krum catch the purple and gold snitch.

The Irish team's ten consecutive goals after the game was interrupted deeply stimulated the Bulgarian team. They tried to break the technically irreparable gap with violent means, and the following games began to become unscrupulous.

As Mallet headed toward the goal post again with the Quaffle under her arm, Bulgaria's goalkeeper Zoglav flew out to meet her.Everything happened so fast that Harry didn't see it clearly, but there was an angry shout from the Irish audience and Mustafa blew a long, piercing whistle, and he realized that there had been a foul.

"Mustafa scolded the Bulgarian goalkeeper for hitting someone - too much elbow movement!" Bagman said to the noisy audience. "Ah, yes, the Irish team took a penalty!"

The leprechauns, who had just risen angrily into the air like a swarm of shiny bumblebees after Mallet was charged by the opposing goalkeeper, now quickly formed a chorus of "Ha! Ha! Ha!"The Veela across the arena jumped up, tossing their hair angrily, and started dancing again.

The Weasley boys and Harry invariably blocked their ears with their fingers, while Maple and Hermione made no move.Maple resisted with her powerful magical power, while Hermione, as a girl, was immune to Veela's magic.

I don't know which one is better, the charm of the Veela or the singing of the mermaid, one is through human eyes, the other is through the ears. However, the singing of the mermaid does not distinguish between men and women, but the charm of the Veela only works on the opposite sex.In this respect, the mermaid's singing seems to be superior.

Suddenly, Hermione and Maple pulled Harry and Ron's fingers from their ears.

"Look at the referee!" Hermione giggled.

Harry and Ron looked towards the arena below and saw that Hassan Mustafa had landed in front of the dancing Veela. His behavior was very strange.He flexed and stretched, flexing his muscles and stroking his beard excitedly.

Harry and Ron couldn't help but laugh immediately.

"Oh, that's not okay!" Ludo Bagman said, but his tone had a hint of ridicule, "Someone go up and slap the referee!"

Moreover, Bagman only talked, but did not go directly to wake up the referee. He seemed to want to watch Hasan Mustafa's joke for a while longer.

A doctor on the field plugged his ears with his fingers, rushed into the field, and kicked Mustafa hard in the calf.Mustafa seemed to come to his senses.Being laughed at by the entire audience, Mustafa looked particularly embarrassed and yelled at the Veela. The Veela stopped dancing and looked very unconvinced.

"Maybe I made a mistake. Mustafa actually wants to send Bulgaria's mascot home!" Bagman's voice joked. It seems that this matter will be a black spot that Hassan will never be able to erase. "Oh, we have never seen such a scene. Oh, the game may become uncivilized..."

Indeed, the Bulgarian team's batsmen Volkov and Volkanov landed on either side of Mustafa, began to argue with him angrily, and gestured to the leprechauns, who at this time Happy forming "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

However, Mustafa was indifferent to the protests of the Bulgarian players.He raised a finger in the air, apparently telling them to take off again.When they refused, he whistled twice.

"Two free throws for Ireland!" shouted Bagman.The Bulgarian audience roared in anger, but Bagman, who was not aggrieved, ignored it, "Volkov and Volkanov had better get on the broomstick, okay, they got on it. Troy got the Quaffle." . . ”

The competition now reached a level of ferocity and intensity they had never seen before.The collision between Gryffindor and Slytherin in the Quidditch match at Hogwarts was completely childish and incomparable.

The batsmen on both sides showed no mercy: especially Volkov and Volkanov. They didn't care whether the stick in their hands hit the ball or the person, they just swung and hit wildly.Dimitrov rushed straight towards Moran who was holding the Quaffle, knocking her almost off her broom.

"Foul!" the Irish supporters shouted in unison.They all stood up and formed a huge green wave.

"Foul!" Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice also repeated the two words, "Dimirov hit Moran and deliberately flew over to collide. He will definitely be awarded a penalty kick. Yes, the referee blew the whistle Whistle!”

The leprechauns all rose into the air again, this time forming a giant hand and making a very rude gesture towards the Veela across the field.The Veela saw it and immediately lost control.Instead of dancing, they flew across the arena and began throwing handfuls of flaming objects at the leprechauns.

In anger, the Veela turned into a completely different person——

Their faces elongated into pointed, beaked bird heads, and a pair of long, scale-covered wings sprouted from their shoulders.

"You see, kids," Mr. Weasley's voice rose above the roar of the crowd below, "so you can never just go for looks!"

Wizard officials from the Ministry rushed into the arena and tried to separate the Veela and the leprechaun, but with little success.The fierce battle below was no less intense than the one above.

"It's Moran again, Moran scored!"

But a considerable portion of the audience was attracted by the movement below. The farce there seemed to be even more exciting than the game on the field——

The arena was filled with Veela screams, the crackle of ministry officials' wands, and the angry roars of the Bulgarians, drowning out the cheers of the Irish supporters.
