A friendly day at Hogwarts

At the same time as the whistle sounded, Roger's hand holding the school badge loosened.

The shield-shaped school emblem is separated from the middle, like a small double door.

A faint golden light flashed, and the golden snitch came out with a "whoosh~" sound and disappeared in an instant.

The boy opposite Qiu turned his head back and forth, looking around blankly.

The buzzing sound of the snitch's wings seemed to be right in his ears.

Qiu's feet had just left the ground, but they quickly pressed the broom handle and dropped back to the ground.

She squinted her eyes slightly and keenly discovered the traces of the snitch.

The little golden thing did not fly into the sky immediately, but shuttled back and forth near the ground at a person's height.

Qiu's opponent obviously hadn't noticed yet, and was still looking around following the sound, forgetting to fly on his broom.

The snitch first circled around the boy a few times, then flew near Roger and stayed for a moment in his ear.

Roger seemed to be aware of it and quickly turned his head, his sight catching a flash of golden light.

At the moment when the golden light flashed, the snitch moved again, this time towards Qiu's back.

The trajectory of this movement seems to have been discovered by Qiu.

She raised her eyes, turned slightly, and waved her hand as if subconsciously——

The "buzzing" sound disappeared instantly.

Roger, who was nearby, and the boy across from him suddenly widened their eyes.

The audience in the distance didn't seem to notice, but Glenn smiled.

Qiu bent down and gently placed Nimbus 2000 on the ground, stepped in front of Roger, and spread her palms in front of his eyes.

In the white palm, the naughty golden little guy was lying there obediently, his wings gently flapping, looking lazy.

Roger looked at Snitch, then at Qiu, and then spoke after a long time.

"Your reaction...is a little bit monstrous, right?"

"Isn't this the legendary 'Pullon Copying Technique'?"

The boy also came to his senses and praised.

Qiu's face turned slightly red and she shook her head: "I'm just lucky."

Glenn walked out of the crowd, came to the three of them, and gave her a thumbs up with both hands.

The girl smiled sweetly and was full of energy.

"So," Roger announced, "the one selected by the Seeker is Cho Zhang!"

"Congratulations!" The boy who lost the competition was convinced and clapped his hands gently and said.

"Thank you." Qiu nodded and thanked him.

Roger continued: "The next step is batsman selection!"

Under his arrangement, Glenn and two other people rode on the broom and rose into the air.

Roger had wanted Chambers to be a target for them to aim at.

However, after Glenn's dissuasion, the idea was eventually abandoned.

The real target was replaced by dozens of human-shaped standing signs, which were placed at random locations on the court.

Roger released the Bludger that had been in the box for a long time and quickly evacuated from the field.

He, Jason and Chambers each stared at a candidate, counting the number of at-bats they completed and their hit rate.

Glenn's performance clearly exceeded Roger's expectations. His Bludgers were powerful and heavy, no less powerful than the Weasley twins he remembered.

Every standing card he hit was badly beaten, as if a blasting spell had been cast at close range.

Not only that, his landing point was also extremely precise, and the hits were basically on the head or chest, which sent a chill down Roger's spine.

The human-shaped signboards were quickly swept away, and the three returned to the ground.

Qiu stood behind Roger and gave Glenn an "OK" sign happily.

She had just watched the records of Roger and the three of them throughout the whole process and knew the results very well.

There is no doubt that Glenn has the best results, but since he has to participate in the Chaser selection again, Captain Roger has left another candidate.

Duncan Ingleby.

Although his hitting rate is much lower than Glenn's, the difference in the number of at-bats is not that big.

It seems that he has a keen ability to judge the path of the Bludger and always appears in the right position to hit the ball.

With such talent, if he trains more, he is very suitable to become a role dedicated to protecting chasers.

Next comes the selection of goalkeepers.

In comparison, the selection for this position is much simpler.

As chasers, Roger and Chambers each threw five quaffles outside the scoring area while unmarked.

The candidate who blocks more goals wins.

The difference in strength between the two players competing for the goalkeeper position is obvious. One of them, a tall boy named Grant Page, is even better.

He made a total of eight saves on Roger and Chambers' long-range shots, missing only two, a full five more than his opponent.

After selections for other positions were completed, it was finally the chaser's turn.

Including Glenn, there were four people competing.

They need to start from the center circle, break through the defense of Roger and Chambers, and then throw the Quaffle into the knocker of Ingleby's defense.

Throughout the process, they had to be on guard against Jason's powerful Bludger attacks at all times.

Everyone has five chances, and one point is awarded for a shot. If it is intercepted or hit by a Bludger, it counts as a failure.

Of course, if you miss the knocker, it is also a failure.

After explaining the rules, the four people drew lots to determine the order, with Glenn appearing second.

After No. 1 was completed, he rode on the Comet 260 and took the Quaffle from Qiu.

Akimoto wanted him to use his own Nimbus 2000, but in order to make up for the lie he had told earlier, Glenn shook his head and refused.

After seeing his batsman selection, Roger was even more excited about his chaser prowess.

Glenn slowly rose into the air, lightly tossed the Quaffle, felt its feel, then hugged it in his arms, leaned over and accelerated.

Roger quickly rushed over and stood in front of him.

Chambers also accelerated on the diagonal side, preparing to defend Roger.

Glenn's body was pressed against the broom handle, and the wind was ringing in his ears.

Roger, who was facing him, stopped, but looking at his position, there was an obvious gap on his left.

Glenn pulled the broom and rushed away.

This was a trap designed by Roger. Without even half a second of thinking, he immediately changed direction and accelerated towards Glenn.

Seeing Glenn charging almost unreservedly, he couldn't help but smile.

However, when the distance between the two came within 30 feet, Glenn suddenly flipped the broom tip lightly and made a drastic change in direction.

At this moment, the Comet's stability and precise control were almost utilized to the extreme.

Roger was startled and quickly turned around, continuing to try to block his path.

In his opinion, Glenn wanted to rely on the change of direction to bring about a distance difference and break through before he was in position.

in time!

He squinted his eyes and confirmed this based on experience.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and from a distance, there was only a few feet between the two of them colliding hard.

The audience watching the selection couldn't help but lean back slightly, and Qiu couldn't help but cover her eyes.

Even Roger frowned and cursed secretly in his heart.

Does this guy want his life? !

However, what happened in the next second was beyond everyone's expectations.

The expected impact did not occur.

Glenn pulled the broom hard again and forced a second change of direction.

The huge inertia almost threw his body off the broom, leaving only the toes of his right foot still tightly hooked on the step ring.

"Sigh~~~"

There were gasps from the crowd and a surprised shout from one of the candidates.

"Wollongong Zigzag Flying Technique!"
