Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 Quidditch School Team Selection

Fairness, fairness, friendship first, competition second...

These good qualities that people endow sports with are just people's fantasies, and sports events in reality are full of all kinds of filth under the glamorous appearance.

Quidditch, a sport that burns so much money, was doomed to be forever associated with power and dubo from the day it became popular.In the original book, Malfoy's act of becoming the team's Seeker by sponsoring the team's latest broomsticks is actually just a routine operation in the Quidditch industry.

As for what happened to the original Seeker of the Slytherin school team, no one cared.Even if Draco is a Quidditch idiot, the strength of the Slytherin Quidditch team will be much higher than before with the advantage of leading equipment.In this way, it seems that sacrificing the Seekers in the original team is all right.

Mike is also an old man who has been struggling in the society for many years. He nodded to Roger and followed him.

Originally, the reason why Mike didn't want to join the Quidditch school team was that he was worried that the long training would take up his time to learn magic, but now there is no need to worry.

Since Professor Flitwick came in through the back door, it shouldn't be difficult to miss training "occasionally". After all, the powerful and powerful can really do whatever they want.

A large number of Ravenclaw students have already gathered in the selection area of ​​Ravenclaw, and these people have come to participate in the selection of substitutes for the Ravenclaw school team.

That's right, alternate selection.

The youngest starting players in Ravenclaw are all 3rd graders. After joining the team, the second-year rookies have to sit on the bench for at least a year before they have a chance to become the starters. Once they join the team, they become the starting members. Those who are either talented, or like Mike and Draco, opened the back door.

"Okay, our people are finally here. Then this year's Ravenclaw school team selection will begin." Roger clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Let me talk about the rules first, It's very simple. Have you seen those magic circles in the sky? All you have to do is take a broomstick to pass through those magic circles one by one. Got it. You can choose to use your own broomsticks. If you don't have a broomstick, come to me for a test Dedicated to sweep the Seven Stars."

Most of the young wizards who came to test did not have their own broomsticks. Except for some Muggle-born wizards who did not have enough Galleons, many mixed-blood or even pure-blood little wizards also did not have their own broomsticks.After all, the price of a brand new flying broomstick ranged from a few hundred to a thousand, which was not something that ordinary wizarding families could afford.

Of course, you can also choose to buy those second-hand broomsticks, but there is no quality guarantee for these second-hand broomsticks. After being used for a long time, the performance and safety will definitely decline.The reason why Hogwarts is still using those old broomsticks is largely due to the daily maintenance of these broomsticks by Mrs. Hodge, a broomstick master.

Mike didn't go up to get the test broom like everyone else did, but took out his Nimbus 2001 from the pocket of the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

As soon as the latest light wheel 2001 came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the little wizards around. Everyone exclaimed and squeezed towards Mike, wanting to see the light wheel 2001 more clearly.

Mike noticed that even Roger's eyes flashed with envy. The Nimbus 2001, the same broomstick used by the England national team this year, costs 1800 Galleons, which is far from what Roger can afford.

"Okay! Okay! Everyone disperse!" Roger still fulfilled his duties as the captain and dispersed more and more little wizards, "Mike, you should be the first one, I believe everyone Can't wait to see how fast Nimbus 2001 is."

Mike did not refuse, and sat on Nimbus 2001 as soon as he lifted his leg. It is not difficult to select the Quidditch school team. The magic circles in the sky are very large and the distances are far away. Anyone with a broom can pass the test.

This is not surprising, after all, this selection is actually just a selection of substitute players.

As soon as he sat on the Nimbus 2001, Mike felt the difference between it and those old-fashioned flying broomsticks in flight class. Not only was there a magic seat, but Mike also felt that there were many invisible magic threads softly binding his body .No wonder it dared to sell for 1800 Gold Galleons. The comfort and safety are not comparable to the Sweeping series.

Putting on the goggles, the light wheel 2001 flew into the sky with Mike at an extremely fast speed with a thought.

During the summer vacation, Mike had long been familiar with the operation of Nimbus 2001, so these simple tests naturally did not trouble Mike.I saw that he passed through one ring after another at an extremely fast speed, and the turning arc was much smaller than those riding sweeping series brooms on other venues, which fully proved the excellent speed and flexibility of Nimbus 2001.

When Mike finished the test and landed, all the little wizards on the field gave warm applause, and some little witches even screamed and wanted to come up to hug Mike. Fortunately, there were too many people on the scene, and they couldn't get in.

"It took 50 seconds! All 17 magic rings hit! It's amazing!" Roger held a magic stopwatch in his hand and couldn't control his excitement. The last sentence was too good. round 2001.

Franklin was the second to take part in the test. Originally, he had to wait in line to get the broom for the test, but Roger probably looked at Mike's face, and gave him a sweeping seven-star with a big wave of his hand.

Mike could have lent him his Nimbus 2001, but Franklin refused after hesitating for a moment.The reason is that if he starts this, other people will definitely come to Mike to borrow the Nimbus 2001, and if Mike refuses at that time, it will definitely arouse resentment from others.

After Mike's performance, Franklin's test seemed unremarkable. He took off slowly and turned so large that it almost formed a circle. When he landed, only Roger gave him applause.

The strange thing is that Roger was so emotional that he didn't even realize that his hands were red, and Franklin was hugged by him as soon as he got off the broomstick.

"Excellent! Excellent! It took 3 minutes and all 17 magic rings hit! You set a record!"

Franklin looked at Mike not far away with a puzzled expression. He really couldn't understand why Roger was still so excited when he flew so slowly.

Roger didn't explain anything, just patted Mike and Franklin on the shoulders and let them leave first. The results of the selection will not be announced today.

Confused Franklin had to follow Mike to leave the Quidditch pitch.

It was a long time before Franklin learned why Roger was so excited.Although he flew very slowly, it took him 3 minutes to complete the test that Mike only took 50 seconds to complete, but he created the fastest record in the history of taking part in the test by sweeping the seven stars.
