Chapter 146 The Conspirator's Peep
A month later, on the Quidditch field, a match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff was in full swing.
This is a very ordinary game in the Hogwarts Quidditch Points League. In the past, not many people except the Quidditch fans of this college would be willing to watch this kind of game, especially during the duel competition.
.But today the auditorium was unusually full of spectators.
Because just yesterday, the first round of the duel competition that lasted for a month finally ended.
The draw for the next round of competition will not be held until a week later. Fortunately, the eight winners who have been working hard for a month can finally take a good rest.
Since the Duel Competition was off for a week, everyone's attention returned to the long-lost Quidditch game. It is also why this Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff game has received so much attention.
.
His eyes returned to the playing field again, and he saw the huge magic board with white characters on a black background clearly indicating the statistics of the current game. Ravenclaw had 92 points and Hufflepuff had 13 points.
A crystal snowflake fell slowly, which was extremely obvious against the black sign. Suddenly, a pure black iron bludger flew past, smashing the snowflake into pieces.
In mid-air, Hufflepuff's Seeker, Cedric, jerked his broomstick sideways, narrowly dodging the Quaffle flying towards him.
"Mike! You are too cruel!" Cedric stabilized his body and shouted at Mike below.
Seeing that the ball he hit with all his strength did not knock down Cedric, Mike smacked his mouth, completely ignored Cedric's roar, and looked for the next Bludger.
It has been a month since Mike participated in Ravenclaw Quidditch training. Only after officially joining the training did Mike understand why Roger had to compete on his own.
It's not because the Ravenclaw team has reached a critical situation where everything will be lost if they lose one game, waiting for Mike to be the savior, but because the Ravenclaw team's results this year are exceptionally good.
You heard it right, it is because of the good performance of the Ravenclaw team that they need Mike, a "genius" player with amazing performance, to participate.
The performance of the Ravenclaw team in previous years was not outstanding, ranking third all year round. After all, you can't ask a group of top academics to have excellent grades in cultural classes and at the same time have excellent grades in physical education classes.
But this year, because the Slytherin team replaced Draco, a Seeker who came in through the back door, even if all the equipment was updated, the results were still not that good.
The Ravenclaw team relied on the mindless hitting method (against players) invented by Mike to move across the field and suddenly became the second place in the standings.
Such results made Roger yearn for the Quidditch Cup championship, so he invited the big Buddha of Mike back, hoping that with Mike joining them, they could go one step further.
But the truth is cruel. Mike's super-high-precision hitting did win many points for the Ravenclaw team at the beginning, and even defeated Gryffindor, the favorite to win the championship. But after a while, Mike was surprised
He discovered that the dodge ability of other team players had improved by leaps and bounds, and now even if he tried his best, he might not be able to knock them off the broom 100% of the time.
Later, Mike learned through the little gossip expert Li Jordan that the day after he took the field, the teams from the other three colleges began to use real Bludgers for hellish dodgeball training.
Only then did Mike understand why those players' faces were all bruised and purple, and why they looked at him with such resentment.
His eyes returned to the field again.
Seeing that Mike ignored him completely and flew straight to the next Bludger, Cedric felt bad and stopped looking for the Golden Snitch, so he quickly distanced himself from Mike.
After all, if you really get hit by a microphone, it's no joke.
But Cedric's worries were actually unnecessary. After taking control of the Bludger, Mike did not rush to launch the next attack. Instead, he slowly approached Cedric and carefully observed his movements.
In fact, Mike's purpose is not to shoot down Cedric, but to harass him so that he has no chance to catch the Golden Snitch.
Of course, this was due to the friendship between the two, but more importantly, it was because Cedric's teammates were so bad that they were completely overwhelmed by Mike's teammates.
To use a popular saying in the previous life, the Hufflepuff team is simply Cedric's one god and six pits.
In the past, almost all of the games Hufflepuff won were won by Cedric catching the 150-point Golden Snitch before the score was extended to 150 points by the opponent.
But this tactic failed today, because every time Cedric wanted to find the Golden Snitch, Mike would hit a perfect home run in his direction, forcing Cedric to dodge.
action.
Looking at Mike, who was controlling the Bludger and getting ready to go, and the score that was getting bigger and bigger, Cedric had a wry smile on his face. He really couldn't move it!
Wry smile is a bitter smile, the game still has to go on, Cedric doesn't have the word surrender in his dictionary!
Cedric steeled himself and scanned the entire venue, searching for traces of the Golden Snitch.
But, it's too late.
"boom!"
A brilliant magic firework exploded from the sky, and with the cheers resounding from the audience and the excited voice of commentator Li Qiaodan, the game ended.
Cedric, who was in a daze, looked under the fireworks and saw his girlfriend Qiu Zhang holding up a golden snitch symbolizing the end of the game and cheering, and the score on the scoreboard was also frozen at this moment.
Ravenclaw 251 points: Hufflepuff 15 points.
The Hufflepuff team members were all dejected, without any of their usual energy.
In sharp contrast to them is Ravenclaw.
Flowers and applause overwhelmed everyone in Ravenclaw.
Mike looked at Cedric who was dumbfounded in the air and shook his head with a chuckle. Rejecting the invitation of his teammates to celebrate with him, Mike flew straight to the stands, where a girl was waiting.
he.
“You are amazing!”
As soon as Mike landed on the stand, he felt a fragrant breeze hit him before he could stand still, and then Penello threw himself into his arms.
After taking two steps back to steady his body, Mike looked at the girl in his arms.
His little nose was red from the cold, and his hair was stained with snowflakes. He stretched out his hand to brush away the snowflakes, and Mike said loudly, "That goes without saying..."
Before he finished speaking, two thin lips blocked what Mike wanted to say next.
In the warm auditorium, the two people hugging each other felt that the surroundings had become inexplicably silent, and the only thing they could hear was each other's heartbeat.
Chapter completed!
