Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 22: Quidditch temporary selection test
The sun is gradually sinking westward, looming in the lingering clouds. The golden afterglows turned into pillars of light, falling through the gaps between the clouds to the distant mountains. Amidst the majestic momentum, it also brings an old man's feeling of twilight.
The weather is still very cold, the cold wind is whistling on the Quidditch pitch, and there seems to be a faint rushing sound from the Forbidden Forest in the distance.
Maca and Charlotte rushed to the court together. He discovered that the lawn of the Quidditch Stadium was obviously magically cast, and it was still green in the cold winter.
"Coming? Hurry up, the test will begin in a while." Darren saw Maca approaching and immediately welcomed him with a smile.
While Maca stretched his arms and kicked his muscles and muscles, Darren introduced him to the official Hufflepuff players one by one. It turned out that an old team member was about to graduate. After learning about Maca's talent, he simply retired early to prepare for his work after graduation.
Maca greeted the team members, and then he discovered that besides him, there is another fourth-grade student who will join him in this temporary selection. I don’t know if it was Maca who borrowed the light of that old team member, or the fourth-grade student who borrowed the light of Maca, maybe there are both.
"Okay, let's get started!" Darren smiled, then put on a more serious face, and began to explain the test content to the two.
The goal of this temporary test is to recruit a suitable chaser.
In a Quidditch team, there are a total of three chasers. They are responsible for passing the "ghost ball" to each other and trying to put them in the three goal circles of the opposing team. Every time Guifei scores, he can earn points for his team.
The chaser needs to have a strong tacit understanding, and to be able to avoid the "wandering ball" hit by the opposing batter-this obviously requires a higher level of flying of the player.
Before the Seekers catch the Golden Snitch, they should put the "Ghost Flying Ball" into the knocker as much as possible, and constantly grab the base points.
The old player who has retired so far plays in this position.
Therefore, this temporary test was divided into three stages in accordance with the selection practice.
In the first stage, the contestant needs to test the catch and pass of the ghost fly ball together with the other two chasers in active service. The test will test the candidate's reaction ability and passing accuracy. .
Ghost Flying Ball is the only ball that does not move by itself among the three ball types. It will be completely controlled by the chasers of both sides.
Maca was sitting on the broom, watching the fourth grader not far away doing various flying movements stiffly, and suddenly felt--maybe he could really do it.
"It's okay, but the reaction speed is too slow, you should always pay attention to the surrounding situation!" Seeing the other party flying here, Charlotte beside Maca smiled.
She is a seeker for the Hufflepuff Court team, and I heard that the level is pretty good.
"Go! My junior, I think it's you!" Charlotte slapped Maca on the back and almost slapped him off the broom.
"Oh! I said Senior Sister——" "Don't be wordy, go!"
Maca felt that she was like some strange baby in Charlotte's Elf Ball. When she was thrown forward, she would have to go to the court and work hard.
"Go!" Kristen, the fifth-grade female golf chaser, said, and passed the ghost ball to Maca.
Maca immediately accelerated forward and caught the Ghost Flying Ball at the point where it reached. On the edge of the court, the team Darren kept shouting "Move up", urging him to start moving irregularly.
"Pass it to me!" another chaser called Charles, who had flown behind Maca by now.
Maca, who was doing a small dive down diagonally, threw the ghost fly ball from his shoulder without looking back. He had already predicted Charles's exact location.
"Oh! Beautiful back pass!" Darren exclaimed excitedly.
I have to say that Maca's observational power is indeed very strong. He can keep the exact position of the other two people at all times while keeping a close eye on the direction of Guifei Ball.
"Give it to me!" Kristen passed under Maca at high speed, and when the two were the closest, it was only more than 10 inches.
Maca still firmly grasped the opportunity and handed the Ghost Flying Ball into her hands the moment Christine passed by.
The stand-by players on the sidelines couldn't help shouting, and the two old chasers in the court exchanged a glance with excitement.
The high-speed switching technique just now, even Christine didn’t plan to complete it, but Maca did it!
The two old team members looked at each other, intending to cooperate in an action that they didn't want to test at all.
I saw the two quickly approaching each other on their broomsticks, and only made a "follow up" movement for Maca and then flew forward side by side.
"Two by two, twenty feet apart, interspersed forward, high-frequency pass!" Charles said.
Maca immediately understood that this is a medium technical action in the "Quidditch Classic Action Collection"-the trident offensive formation.
He quickly reached the left position, and then spiraled through with the other two. While advancing at high speed, the Guifei ball was passed back and forth by the three of them at an extremely high frequency, making the other players on the sidelines almost hold their breath.
When the three of them leaned over and held the ball, they spread out and drew three arcs in the air to enter their different goal circles, the three of them stopped one after another.
Charles smiled awkwardly at Maca. In the final moments of the high-speed pass, he didn't catch it—and let it go.
"Charles! It's because of your troubles that we always dare not use difficult moves in official competitions! Today, see how you face Maca, you know, he is a first-year freshman! "Kristen laughed angrily, she pointed at Charles with her slender fingers and ran aloud.
Maca looked at this brave short-haired big girl, and recalled the feeling of cooperating with each other just now, and felt heartily.
"Oh-I know! Then I must practice hard and set a good example for Maca." Charles scratched his head and laughed.
It seems that Maca has been given by two active chasers in the first stage.
"Captain, I think that's it! It's him, that's right!" Christine shouted toward the team Darren.
Seeing Darren, Maca nodded, and then glanced at another candidate who was a little frustrated. He felt that accepting the status quo did not fit the image he had worked hard to create.
He thought for a while, and said to Darren: "I think it is better to complete the test, otherwise it would be unfair to the senior who participated in the selection together."
Darren looked back at the fourth grader next to Charlotte and nodded.
"Well, you are right." Darren said, "Then continue with the second stage test and throw the ball into the ring."
Of course, this is not simply throwing the ball into the goal circle. The goalkeeper is not a vegetarian!
And the goalkeeper of the Hufflepuff Academy is the captain-Darren Chris.
"Hey, junior brother! Our Captain Darren has a mediocre goalkeeping skill. You can relax a little bit and don't hurt his pride for a while!" Charlotte said with a smile on Maca's shoulders. There is no plan to lower the voice.
"I can hear it all!" Darren was at the goal not far away. He was looking back and deliberately rounded his eyes and looked here viciously!
The test for seniors in the fourth grade came to an end very quickly. A total of ten goals were scored and three were scored. In fact, it was not bad for the candidates. Of course, this also shows that Darren's defense is really average.
It's Maca's turn. He is holding the Guifei Ball, and seeing Darren hesitates.
"Don't worry! The stronger you are, the happier I will be. After all, you are our Hufflepuff person!" Darren said to Maca with a smile.
Maca nodded when he heard the words, let go of the doubts in his heart, and rushed to the door knocker on the right.
Darren reacted immediately and moved a little to the right, guessing whether Maca was about to take a shot or just want to shake him away.
He can see the flying movement of Maca just now, and the smooth and swift small arc movement undoubtedly shows that Maca's flexibility is beyond doubt~ IndoMTL.com~ is near, closer, Maca sure enough. Start to pull up and rotate.
Darren immediately moved towards the middle door, but unexpectedly the Maca just pulled up, but did not make any lateral displacement.
This is fake! Using the illusion of a small rotation to deceive the goalkeeper and return to the goal, he only needs to use the power of the rotation to pull back to the height of the side goal ring to throw the ball.
Gui Fei ball was thrown into the right ring that has become an empty goal without any accident, a beautiful goal!
Ten pitching drills didn’t take long. Maca relentlessly scored 90 points under Darren’s defense. If the last ball hadn't been rubbed to an edge by Darren's fingers, Maca would have passed it with full marks.
"Awesome!" Darren greeted Maca flying to the sidelines with a bitter face. He flew and said, "This year's Quidditch Cup, you will be our Hufflepuff team's secret weapon! No, it's a super secret weapon!"
"I have never seen such a talented new player! It's just like those rookie monsters in professional trials!"
"Senior Darren, don't say that. Quidditch is a team competitive sport, but one person can not manage the whole game." Maca smiled.
This is indeed the case. For example, in the World Cup, there are always some surprisingly strong elite players, but what about? In the Quidditch game on the total points system, it is not that you win more games to win the championship. Personal heroism is always just a joke.
Even the Golden Snitch worth 150 points will be eclipsed by the basic score obtained by the high-level teamwork. Not to mention the personal level of the chaser, tacit cooperation is king.
"Next is the final stage. The content of the test is very simple. Try to avoid the attack from the batter to you!"
