Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 85 Mike's First Quidditch Experience

After Roger accepted Slytherin's challenge, the substitutes of both teams began to run around to prepare for the game, while regular players such as Mike also rode on their broomsticks, ready to start the game at any time.

Just as Mike was about to take off, Roger suddenly ran over and grabbed him.

"You're not really going to be the Seeker for this game, are you?" Roger said worriedly.

Mike is Professor Flitwick's favorite student, and Qiu Zhang is the darling of their Ravenclaw Quidditch team and the goddess of countless little boys. Roger doesn't want to offend either side.

If Mike insisted on being the seeker in this game, Roger would be in a difficult position.

Seeing Roger's worried look, Mike knew what he was worried about. He suppressed his irritation and forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, I actually prefer the batsman position to the seeker position. Besides, we will win this game, I promise you."

Roger was relieved to see that Mike had no intention of trying to grab the ball seeker's position. As for Mike's last words, he thought that Mike was just comforting him. The equipment advantage of 7 Nimbus 2001s was really too great.

Li Jordan, who was pulled in to act as a temporary referee, saw that all the players from both teams were launched into the air, and he also stretched out his magic wand and shot a beam of light into the sky to indicate the start of the game.

As the red beam shot up into the sky, the four balls used in Quidditch games: a Golden Snitch, a Quaffle and two Bludgers, were also released from the box. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin players split into several small groups and rushed towards different balls like arrows.

At this time, due to Li Jordan's promotion, in addition to Ravenclaw and Slytherin, many Gryffindor lions also came to the stadium. They could clearly see that the flying speed of the Ravenclaw players wearing royal blue uniforms was much slower than that of the Slytherin players wearing green uniforms.

This is even more obvious with the Chasers. Compared with the Slytherin Chasers, Roger and others from Ravenclaw are just like toddlers.

The bright red Quaffle was extremely conspicuous in the air, and both Chasers spotted it immediately. As long as they threw it into the opponent's ring, they would get 10 points.

With the huge equipment advantage, the Slytherin Chasers undoubtedly seized control of the Quaffle and then rushed straight for the three door knockers of Ravenclaw.

Roger and the others who failed to seize the ball could only follow them. With such a huge advantage in equipment, the Slytherin Chasers didn't need any tactics at all, no tactical cover, no fake moves, no collisions, all they had to do was get the ball and run, and the Ravenclaw Chasers couldn't catch up with them at all.

"boom!"

Fortunately, the goalkeeper of the Ravenclaw team was very powerful. He was not afraid of Slytherin's fierce attack. He rushed forward and blocked the passes made by Slytherin chasers to confuse him.

This time the Quaffle finally fell into the hands of Ravenclaw, but the Slytherin Chasers were laughing and looked nonchalant. It was not their fault, as their equipment advantage was too great.

Now let's talk about the Seeker. Draco was hovering over everyone's heads, carefully looking for the Golden Snitch. As a Seeker, as long as he could catch the Golden Snitch, he would get 150 points and end the game. Qiu Zhang was not as comfortable as Draco. The two Slytherin Beaters didn't care about their Chasers at all, but rushed to Qiu Zhang and started to harass him with various body movements.

No matter how skilled Qiu Zhang is, she is still a girl. She is not as physically fit as boys. Facing the pursuit and blockade of two strong Slytherin men, she is as pitiful as a butterfly struggling to fly in a storm.

A Ravenclaw Beater was originally following the conventional tactics to cover the Chaser, but when he saw his goddess being besieged by two big men, he immediately left Roger and others to go to support. However, he was riding a sweeper, and he couldn't catch up with the two Slytherin Beaters at all. Even if he occasionally caught up with Qiu Zhang's delay, he could only passively take the beating in a one-on-two situation.

At this time, our Mike seemed to treat Quidditch as a racing sport, circling over the wide stadium at a very fast speed.

Roger and the others were so anxious when they saw Mike's expression that they almost lost their temper. Some of the audience even started to curse him. In their opinion, the most important thing Mike should do now is to support Qiu Zhang. In this match, when the Chasers had no way to defeat the opponent, they had to rely on the Seeker Qiu Zhang to turn the tide.

Mike, who was high in the sky, seemed to have heard the audience's curses. He found the position of the black Bludger and dived down from the sky.

His action scared the audience. The speed of Light Cycle 2001 was already very fast, and with the effect of gravity, Mike's speed of descent at full speed was so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

Before anyone could react, Mike suddenly lifted the broom with both hands and raised it up again.

By the time the audience exclaimed, Mike was already on a parallel line with the Bludger. He held the special bat in both hands and swung it hard, hitting the Bludger out.

The black Bludger made of pure iron immediately turned into a shadow under Mike's strong whip and flew towards a Slytherin Chaser. Then a scream was rang out, and the Bludger hit him directly on the shoulder, knocking him off the flying broom.

Many timid spectators in the audience had already covered their eyes and dared not look. It was obvious what the outcome would be if they fell to the ground from such a great height. In the history of Quidditch games, there were often such unlucky people who died from falling.

But this guy was lucky, there were many seniors and even 7th graders in the audience, and their magic attainments were no weaker than those of adult wizards. Seeing that someone's life was in danger, these people took out their wands at the same time, and shot magical auras towards the stadium.

Everyone saw the screaming Slytherin Chaser falling freely, his speed getting slower and slower, until he was finally gently caught by a large hand made of plant vines and placed on the ground.

At this time, Slytherin's logistics staff also reacted and rushed into the stadium regardless of the danger of being attacked by the bludgers.

When they reached the Chaser, they found that he had fainted from fright. The place on his shoulder where he was hit by the Bludger was deeply dented, and his lower body was covered in feces and urine.

Although the smell was very bad, the Slytherin support staff did not dislike him at all. One of them waved his wand and made him float up and fly quickly out of the stadium, while the others raised their wands and watched the sky to prevent sudden attacks from the bludgers.
