The Admiral of Hogwarts

#311 - End of the game

After carefully observing the players flying around the field like meteors, Hugo felt that the Irish team's players were clearly better coordinated. If the Bulgarian team didn't have Krum, they would definitely lose badly.

Sure enough, only ten minutes into the game, the Irish team scored three goals, changing the score to 30-0, causing a huge cheer from the green-clad supporters.

Soon after, the Bulgarian team launched an attack and scored a goal, after which the Veelas came out and began their mental interference. During this time, the two Seekers—Krum and Lynch—fell rapidly through the other players.

"Man, this is almost like a Leap of Faith," Ryan said in surprise, watching the people falling faster than freefall. "There's no haystack down there, they're true warriors."

As it turned out, it was just a feint by Krum. Lynch was tricked and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, after examination, he was still able to play.

However, this also shows that Krum is indeed very famous. After all, Lynch is also a professional player on the national team, and he shouldn't be unable to distinguish the ground from the sky.

The only reasonable explanation for why he dived like that just now is that they had already planned before the game to have Lynch try his best to interfere with Krum's actions, so he took the great risk of doing such a steep dive.

The next 25 minutes were the most intense game Ryan had ever seen. The score quickly widened, which also led the Bulgarian players to resort to unscrupulous means and start directly attacking players.

They elbowed the Irish team's goalkeeper and then directly charged into the Irish team's Chaser who was carrying the ball. Naturally, this resulted in the Bulgarian team being penalized two goals, further widening the score.

The Bulgarian team's mascots, the Veelas, started fighting with the taunting Leprechauns. They transformed into bird-headed, human-bodied figures with wings on their backs, and then threw flame-like objects towards the Leprechauns.

Members of the Ministry of Magic rushed onto the field to try to separate them, but it seemed to have little effect.

Fortunately, these mascots were obviously trained, so as flying creatures, they were all fighting in a团 on the ground, without affecting the game in the air.

"This fight is really intense!" Hugo felt that the battle on the ground was as intense as the game in the sky. It must be said that magical creatures have their unique side in many places.

At least Hugo felt that Veelas, creatures with human intelligence and innate magic, although their magic was a bit monotonous, their combat power could basically be regarded as similar to that of a simply trained wizard if there were no targeted preparations.

Of course, this judgment may not be accurate, because the specific combat effectiveness of the British Ministry of Magic staff has always been a mystery. Those few staff members who were being chased and beaten by the Veelas may not be representative of the overall level of the Ministry of Magic.

For example, Hugo saw Pique, wearing Auror robes, rush to the center of the field in the first batch, and then easily knock out a dozen Veelas and Leprechauns.

The players on the field were also affected by the melee, and their emotions were even more亢奋. Krum was hit directly in the face by a Bludger, and his nose was covered in blood, while the referee was mainly preoccupied because the tail of his broom was set on fire by a Veela.

Finally, Lynch was the first to spot the Golden Snitch, but Krum quickly noticed Lynch's movements and chased after him. The two swooped towards the ground like two peregrine falcons.

"Krum is going to lose this time," Hermione suddenly said, because she found that after entering the dive, the distance between Krum and Lynch remained the same, neither shrinking nor enlarging.

"Lynch's technique is not as good as Krum's, but his Comet 300 is generally better than the Firebolt," Massachusetts quickly analyzed. "Especially since we optimized the diving performance, giving Lynch a greater advantage in the dive."

When the ship girls were developing the brooms, they would naturally pay attention to diving, especially since they also had experts in diving flight like Enterprise, and these accumulated advantages quickly transformed into Lynch's advantage on the field now.

Although these advantages are very small, for these top athletes participating in top competitions, a little bit of advantage is enough to affect the outcome of the entire game.

Sure enough, Lynch once again slammed heavily on the ground, and then Pique, who was closest to his landing point, rushed to his side in one stride, driving away the Veelas who were surrounding him.

Although Krum pulled up at the last moment, he looked gloomy and empty-handed, obviously failing in the final competition.

The scoreboard flashed the score, Bulgaria: 10, Ireland: 320, and the audience didn't seem to realize what was going on.

Then, slowly, like a giant jet plane accelerating, the murmur of the Irish supporters grew louder and louder, finally erupting into countless joyful shouts.

"Ireland wins!" Bagman, an Irish supporter, shouted with an excited look on his face, obviously betting right in the game.

"Lynch caught the Golden Snitch, the great Irish Seeker, he has made a contribution, he has inherited the glorious tradition of Irish wizards."

"Cú Chulainn and Scáthach are possessed at this moment, Lynch alone represents the long history and tradition of Irish wizards, he is not alone in this battle, he is not alone!"

"We've made a fortune this time!" Unyielding and Massachusetts rushed over at this time and hugged Hugo, and then cheered, because everyone could see that the reason why Lynch was able to win in the end was because of the difference between the two brooms.

And for the ship girls who manufacture brooms, this means that they have gained a huge advantage in the competition among top broom manufacturers. And this advantage can be converted into more resources and more human resources.

Just as the ship girls were discussing the benefits brought by this game, a Ministry of Magic staff member came in from outside the room to tell them that the award ceremony was about to begin. So Hugo and the others walked out of the room and came to the corridor.

Through the window in the corridor, Hugo and the others watched the Irish team's players, accompanied by their mascots, circle the field and then land on the ground, looking like they were about to come up the stairs.

However, the Bulgarian team arrived earlier, but when they passed in front of Hugo and the others, they looked more like a group of defeated roosters, and you could even hear someone sniffing.

Compared to the original text, this time the Bulgarian team can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat. Especially as professionals, they could clearly see that the reason for losing so badly was closely related to their brooms.

If losing because of inferior skills is acceptable, then failing because of poor equipment is too bad.

Fortunately, the arrival of the Irish players later broke the dullness here. Aidan Lynch was supported by Moran and Connolly, apparently the second fall seemed to have stunned him, and his eyes were scattered and dazed.

But when Troy and Quigley raised the trophy high from Fudge's hands, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, Lynch grinned and showed a smile.

"This is a very exciting game, I think everyone will remember this game for a long time," Hugo muttered softly, watching the Irish team's players leave the box, take the trophy, and circle the field on their brooms.

"Indeed, a very good game, but we are only spectators," Enterprise's voice rang in the Admiral's network. "But tonight should be our stage."
