Then, attention turned to Cyrus.
The Malfoy brats...
Well, she's still someone who needs to be warned.
"I'll say it again: be fair and honest!"
“I’m the fairest!” Cyrus said, raising his chin.
"Very good, then please hop on your flying brooms."
Cyrus rides Malfoy's Nimbus 2001.
Ms. Hodge blew her silver whistle with all her might.
It's Monday, time to go to work. I haven't been slacking off, this chapter is scheduled for release.
Chapter 59 Malfoy, Our King!
The game is on!
Fifteen brooms shot out at once; the Slytherin team was clearly much faster than the Ravenclaws.
However, speed is only one aspect; agility is what truly tests a Quidditch player's ability.
Cyrus cheated from the start by casting a Senses Charm on himself, allowing him to locate the Golden Snitch without using his eyes. This ensured that he wouldn't miss it due to blind spots when it appeared.
It's not entirely cheating, since the Quidditch rules only prohibit the use of wands, not magic. However, wizards who can cast spells without a wand are rare, let alone more complex spells like the Senses Charm.
Once you have God's-eye view, Quidditch becomes much easier.
He flew straight to the top of the field, almost as if he were leaving the game.
Taking advantage of their broomsticks, the other Slytherin players quickly launched a powerful attack. For Ravenclaw to win the game, they had to prevent Slytherin from scoring as much as possible and catch the Golden Snitch before the score gap widened to 150 points.
Zhang Qiu's task was very difficult because Adrian Pusey had already hit their basket with the Quaffle and scored ten points.
Marcus then launched an attack, and this time goalkeeper Grant saved the Quaffle, but Randolph failed to intercept Slytherin's third Chaser, Graham, and Slytherin scored another 10 points.
The match was very tense. The gap in the broomsticks made it difficult for Ravenclaw's chasers to catch the ball, which was always intercepted by Marcus and his two teammates halfway through the game.
Zhang Qiu frantically darted around in the air.
She couldn't find any trace of the Golden Snitch, because the Snitch hadn't appeared yet.
Zhang Qiu looked up at Cyrus, who seemed quite relaxed in the sky, and couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed.
'Is this guy even here to compete?'
In her view, Cyrus was simply tanking at this moment, not even bothering to look for the Golden Snitch. Did he really think that Slytherin's team could pull ahead of Ravenclaw by 150 points before she caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game?
That's incredibly disrespectful.
This is utter contempt for their Ravenclaw team!
But soon, she preferred that Cyrus stay in the sky and not move around.
Faced with Slytherin's fierce attack, Roger adopted a different counter-attack tactic—the Parkin Claw. He and Jeremy approached Adrian from both flanks, blocking his retreat, while Randolph crouched low and charged straight at Adrian from the front, forcing him to abandon his Quaffle.
It's very risky for three players to block one player, because Slytherin still has two Chaser players who will be unguarded.
But Roger had no other choice. If Ravenclaw didn't score soon, the gap between the two teams would only widen! Now he could only pin his hopes on the rest of the team, hoping that goalkeeper Grant could hold the goal, or that the two batters could use the running ball to intercept Slytherin's attack.
His two hitters were incredibly effective; Jason and Duncan combined for a double hit, greatly enhancing the power of the walk.
The rapidly flying ball crashed into Graham, who had originally come to help Adrian.
Graham quickly ducked, but the ball didn't pass over his head; instead, it hit the broom's tail, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground like a tumbling pebble.
The tense scene immediately drew gasps from the audience, and even though most people disliked Slytherin's behavior, they couldn't help but worry about Graham's safety.
If someone falls from that height, they'll at least break a few ribs, and if they're not careful, it's not impossible for them to break their cervical spine and die on the spot.
Even Jason and Duncan were a little worried.
However, as Graham was about to crash headfirst to the ground, few people reacted in shock, and Mrs. Hooch, acting as referee, remained a mere figurehead as always.
Only Dumbledore rose from the platform, silently raised his right hand, and uttered half a spell:
"damping--"
Then, a bolt of green lightning struck down instantly, severing his spell and piercing through the sharp, cacophony of screams.
Cyrus swooped down at an almost straight angle, pushing the Nimbus 2001's performance to its limit!
In fact, even the speed of the sweeping series brooms is sufficient for most matches. No player is capable of flying at full speed on a narrow field because they can't stop.
With each upgrade to the flying broomstick, the increase in speed is secondary for Quidditch players. Optimization of acceleration, agility, braking ability, balance, and so on are what players value most.
But now, Cyrus is driving the last glory of the Nimbus series, pushing the speed to the limit!
All anyone could see was a green shadow that was moving too fast to make out, the Slytherin green robes trailing long behind him like a green snake.
To put it bluntly, he only needs to blink, and he'll crash into the solid ground of the playground at nearly 150 kilometers per hour! Then he'll—no, I should say Malfoy's body will turn into a delicious Malfoy biscuit.
The wind that lashed at my face felt like a slap, making my cheeks sting.
In a flash, Cyrus had already grabbed Graham's arm, casting several shock-absorbing spells to prevent tearing it off. At that moment, his pupils were completely obscured by the green grass!
The tip of the broom was almost touching the ground!
They're going to crash!
Cyrus gritted his teeth and forcefully twisted the broom head with his other hand, pulling it backward as if he were tugging on the control stick of an airplane, his whole body leaning back.
"Click——"
A crisp sound,
The tip of the Nimbus 2001 left a mark on the ground, and the front of the broom broke off. The polished broom handle flew out and broke a beam.
Then, Cyrus completed an extreme spin, and the flying broom, which had shortened in length, soared into the sky once again!
He successfully rescued Graham.
For about half a minute, the entire arena was silent, as if someone had used magic to block out all the sounds.
Then came cheers that resounded through the clouds!
Even the Gryffindor wizards, who were always at odds with Slytherin, went berserk. George and Fred, setting aside their prejudices, stomped on the heads of the two unknown wizards in front of them, waving their arms and shouting:
Malfoy, our king!
Harry and Ron were dumbfounded.
“I had no idea he could fly so well! He could totally join a Quidditch team and win the World Championship!” Ron said admiringly.
"World champion?" Wood appeared out of nowhere, his eyes shining. "No! He's going down in history!"
What does a world champion count for?
If this were in Japan, he'd be a Quidditch master at the top!
Thank you to reader 1338459675374563328 for the 10000-point reward! Thank you, my darling!
Chapter 60 Unexpected Events and Victory
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
History will remember this day forever!
The Quidditch fans were screaming, and Professor McGonagall nearly fainted. This enthusiasm immediately infected many of the younger wizards who weren't so passionate about Quidditch. Even Hermione thought Cyrus was incredibly cool!
If there was anything that made her feel a little regretful, it was that Cyrus was using Malfoy's face. If it were "Mr. Riddle" himself, she would have loved to write him a love letter on the spot!
Compared to the excited audience, the players on the field were very quiet.
Graham broke out in a cold sweat, thanking Cyrus with a mixture of fear and gratitude.
"Thank you, Malfoy..."
"Don't worry about it, it's our turn to fight back." Cyrus slapped him hard on the shoulder, and the two of them rose into the air at the same time. The broomstick, now shorter, was a little unbalanced, but it would still be fine after the match.
Jason and Duncan flew over, looking apologetic.
“Sorry, Graham.”
“Don’t worry about it, you didn’t break any rules,” Cyrus said before Graham could get angry.
Hearing him say that, Graham naturally felt embarrassed to throw a tantrum, but he was determined to teach Ravenclaw a lesson!
After confirming it was a false alarm, Madam Huo Qi breathed a sigh of relief and blew her silver whistle:
"The game continues!"
The fourteen players on the field started moving around again. This time, Cyrus didn't continue watching from the sidelines; he was getting bored staying in the air.
At that moment, he gripped the broken end of the broom handle with both hands, subtly altering the broom's trajectory. He was merely the Seeker, unable to score with the Quaffle, though the rules of Quidditch didn't explicitly forbid the Seeker from attempting to catch the Quaffle. This scene would simply be impossible in other games.
No Seeker fails to search for the Golden Snitch, yet follows the Quaffle everywhere.
