Harry Potter's Book of Sin

Chapter 23



The sun gradually set in the west, looming in the swirling clouds. The golden afterglow turned into a pillar of light and fell through the gap between the clouds to the continuous mountains in the distance. In the majestic, it also brings people a feeling of old people's twilight.

The weather is still very cold, the cold wind keeps whistling on the Quidditch court, and there seems to be a faint sound from the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

Marca and Charlotte rushed to the court together. He found that the lawn of Quidditch stadium was obviously enchanted, and it was still green in the cold winter.

"Coming? Come on, let's move. The test will begin soon." Darren smiled and welcomed Marka when he saw her approaching.

When Maka stretched out his arms and kicked his legs to move his muscles and bones, Darren introduced him to the official players of the Hufflepuff team one by one. It turned out that an old team member was about to graduate. After learning about Maka's talent, he simply retired early to prepare for his work after graduation.

Maka said hello to the team members, and then he found that in addition to him, there was another fourth grade student who would participate in the temporary selection with him. I don't know whether Marca borrowed the light of the old team member or the fourth grade student borrowed the light of Marca. Maybe both are unknown!

"Well, let's start!" Darren smiled, then changed into a more serious face and began to explain the test content to the two people.

The goal of this temporary test is to recruit a suitable chaser.

In a Quidditch team, there are three chasers. They are responsible for passing "ghost flying balls" to each other and trying to throw them into the three goal rings of the opposing team. Every time you score a ghost fly ball, you can get ten points for your team.

The chaser needs to have a strong tacit understanding and be able to avoid the "wandering ball" hit by the other batter - which obviously requires the player's flying level.

Before the seeker catches the snitch, they should throw the "ghost flying ball" into the knocker as much as possible and grab the basic score all the time.

The old player who has retired now plays this position.

Therefore, the temporary test was divided into three stages according to the selection practice.

In the first stage, the candidate needs to test the receiving and passing of the ghost flying ball together with the other two active chasers, which tests the candidate's reaction ability and the accuracy of passing the ball.

Ghost flying ball is the only one of the three kinds of balls that won't move by itself. It will be completely in the hands of both chasers.

Maka sat on the broom and looked at the fourth grade student not far away, who was doing all kinds of flight movements rigidly. Suddenly she felt - maybe she could really do it.

"It's OK, but the reaction speed is too slow. We should always pay attention to the surrounding situation!" Charlotte smiled when she saw the other party flying this way.

She is the seeker of the Hufflepuff court team. It is said that her level is quite good.

"Go! My primary school brother, I think it's you!" Charlotte slapped Marca on the back and almost slapped him off the broom.

"Ouch! I said," don't be wordy, go! "

Maka felt that she was like a strange baby in Charlotte's elf ball. As soon as she threw it forward, she had to work hard on the field.

"Start!" Christine, a fifth grade female chaser, said and passed the ghost flying ball to Maka.

Maka immediately accelerated forward and caught the ghost flying ball just where it reached. On the edge of the pitch, Captain Darren kept shouting "move, move", urging him to start moving irregularly.

"Pass it to me!" shouted Charles, another chaser, who had now flown behind Marca.

Maka, who was making a small dive downward, threw the ghost flying ball back from her shoulder without looking back. He had already predicted the specific position of Charles.

"Oh! Beautiful backhand pass!" Darren shouted excitedly.

It has to be said that Maka's observation is really strong. He can always grasp the exact position of the other two people and keep an eye on each direction of the ghost flying ball.

"Give it to me!" Christine passed under Marca at high speed. When they were closest, they were even more than 10 inches.

But Maka still firmly grasped the opportunity and handed the ghost flying ball to Christine at the moment she passed by.

The standby players on the sidelines couldn't help shouting, and the two old chasers in the field exchanged glances with each other excitedly.

Just now, Kristen didn't even plan to complete the technical action of high-speed switching, but Maka did it!

The two old players looked at each other and planned to cooperate to do an action that they didn't want to test at all.

They quickly drew close on the broom, and only made a "follow-up" action for Maka, and flew forward with their shoulders.

"Twenty feet apart, interspersed forward, high-frequency passing!" said Charles.

Maka immediately understood that this is a medium technical action in Quidditch classic action Collection - trident attack formation.

He quickly reached the left position, and then spiraled with the other two. In the high-speed forward, the ghost flying ball was passed back and forth at a very high frequency by the three people, so that almost all the other players on the court held their breath.

Until the three people spread out with the action of leaning over and holding the ball, drew three arcs in the air and burst into their different goal rings, the three people stopped one after another.

Charles smiled awkwardly at Marca. At the end of the high-speed pass, he didn't catch - he lost his hand.

"Charles! It's because you always go wrong that we don't dare to use actions with high technical difficulty in the formal competition! Today, it depends on how you face Marca. You know, he's a freshman!" Christine laughed angrily. She pointed her slender fingers at Charles and ran loudly.

Maka looked at the heroic girl with short hair and recalled the feeling of mutual cooperation just now.

"Oh - I know! Next, I must practice hard and set a good example for Marca." Charles scratched his head and laughed.

It seems that Maka has been determined by two active chasers in the first stage.

"Captain, I think that's it! It's him, that's right!" Christine shouted at captain Darren.

When Maka saw Darren nodding, she looked at another candidate who was a little depressed. She felt that Enron's acceptance of the current situation was not in line with the image he was trying to create.

After thinking for a while, he said to Darren, "I think it's better to complete the test, otherwise it's unfair to the senior who participated in the selection together."

Darren looked back at the fourth grader next to Charlotte and nodded.

"Well, you're right," Darren said. "Then continue the second stage test and throw the ball into the ring."

Of course, it's not just throwing at the goal ring. Goalkeepers are not vegetarian!

The goalkeeper of the hutchpatch academy is the captain Darren Chris.

"Hey, primary school boy! Our captain Darren's level of gatekeeping is average. Take it easy and don't hurt his self-esteem for a while!" Charlotte smiled and put her arm around Marca's shoulder, without any intention of lowering her voice.

"I heard it all!" Darren was at the goal not far away. He was looking back and deliberately widened his eyes to look here fiercely!

The test for senior students in the fourth grade soon ended. There were ten goals and three goals. In fact, it was pretty good for the candidates. Of course, it also shows that Darren is really average.

It was Marca's turn. He took the ghost flying ball and looked at Darren with a little hesitation.

"Don't worry! The stronger you are, the happier I will be. After all, you are one of our hufflepuffs!" Darren said to Marca with a smile.

Maka nodded when she heard the speech, put down her doubts and rushed to the door ring on the right.

Darren immediately reacted and moved a little to the right, wondering whether Marca was ready to shoot or just wanted to shake him away.

He can see Maka's flight just now. The smooth and fast small arc movement undoubtedly shows that Maka's flexibility is beyond doubt.

Closer, closer, Maka really began to pull up and rotate.

Darren immediately moved to the middle gate, but unexpectedly, Maka just pulled up, but did not make any lateral displacement.

This is a fake! Deceive the goalkeeper with the illusion of small-scale rotation and return to the middle gate, but he can throw the ball by pulling back to the height of the side gate ring with the power of rotation.

The ghost flying ball was put into the right ring that has become an empty goal without accident. It's a beautiful goal!

Ten pitching drills didn't take long. Marca scored 90 points without mercy under Darren's defense. If Darren hadn't rubbed the last ball to an edge between his fingers, Maka would have passed with full marks.

"Awesome!" Darren asked Marca to fly to the court with a bitter face. He said as he flew, "this year's Quidditch cup, you will be the secret weapon of our hutchpatch team! No, it's a super secret weapon!"

"I've never seen such a talented new player! It's just like those rookie monsters in the professional trials!"

"Don't say that, senior Darren. Quidditch is a team sport, and it can't handle the whole game alone." Maka smiled.

The fact is that, for example, there is always a lack of some surprisingly strong elite players in the world cup, but so what? In the total score Quidditch competition, you can't win more games to win the championship. Personal heroism is always a joke.

Even the Golden Snitch worth 150 points will be eclipsed by the basic score obtained by high-level team cooperation. Not to mention the personal level of the chaser, tacit cooperation is the king.

"Next is the last stage. The test content is very simple. Avoid the attack of the batter as much as possible!"
