Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.
45. Oliver Wood
Meanwhile, Lin Yu followed behind Professor McGonagall, the old man and the young man walking towards the castle.
On the way, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain to himself, "I remember the vice dean of Canaan Academy was named Ruolin, wasn't she? System, are you mistaken?"
The system didn't answer, and I wondered if I should call her "Minerva. Amber. McGonagall"?
Moreover, Canaan College has several deans.
Headmaster, Head of the Outer Court, Grand Elder of the Inner Court, Vice Head of the Outer Court.
How do I know which role to assign?
Lin Yu then asked the system in his mind, "And the so-called selection tournament, isn't it just a Quidditch match?"
He had already guessed the truth.
What kind of selection competition is this? Do they really think I'm Xiao Yan?
Back at the castle, Professor McGonagall remained silent the entire way, still walking briskly, leading Lin Yu to the door of one of the classrooms.
Professor McGonagall opened the door, peeked inside, and said, "Excuse me, Professor Flitwick, could Wood come out for a moment?"
Lin Yu blinked before remembering who Wood was.
Since the English word "wood" also means "wood," if one didn't know such a person existed, they might mistakenly think that Professor McGonagall wanted to punish Lin Yu with a piece of wood.
(That's what Harry thought in the original story.)
A moment later, a tall, handsome young man came out and greeted Professor McGonagall politely: "Dean, you wanted to see me?"
Professor McGonagall didn't speak, but simply gestured for them to follow her, and she led the two students to an empty room.
After the door was closed, Professor McGonagall turned to the two boys. She introduced Lin Yu first, saying, "This is Oliver Wood. Your senior from the fifth year."
Lin Yu nodded to Wood and even extended his hand to shake it.
Professor McGonagall then introduced Wood: "This is Lin Yu."
Wood immediately replied, "I know him. After all, he's too famous. There aren't many people who dare to challenge the entire Slytherin school on the first day of school."
Lin Yu smiled awkwardly but politely. What could he say?
Can he say that he had no way out at that time? He either had to cower like a coward, or he had no choice but to fight back in anger?
Besides, he had to complete system tasks at the time, so he had no other choice.
"Alright, let's not talk about that pleasant stuff...cough cough cough. Anyway, Wood, this kid has excellent flying skills, and I think he could be the team's Seeker," Professor McGonagall finally revealed the reason she brought Lin Yu to see Wood.
Professor McGonagall is the Head of Gryffindor, and she also loves Quidditch.
Unfortunately, the Gryffindor team's performance has been less than satisfactory in recent years.
Professor McGonagall saw this and felt heartbroken, which led her to make a rather hasty decision: she wanted Lin Yu to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Even the Seeker?
Wood didn't doubt Professor McGonagall's decision. Instead, he circled around Lin Yu and said, "His physique is indeed very suitable for a Seeker; he looks light and agile. However, I think he needs a better broom. After all, we can't expect him to catch that cunning little thing, the Golden Snitch, with the school's faulty brooms."
Wood seemed even more excited than Professor McGonagall.
Wood has an obsessive love for Quidditch; in his words, it's either catch the Golden Snitch or die on the field.
Because Quidditch has a very peculiar rule: the game can only end when the Golden Snitch is caught, and the game can never end as long as the Golden Snitch is not caught.
It is said that one Quidditch match lasted for several months.
Moreover, the Golden Snitch has a huge number of 150.
A normal hit only scores ten points, which shows how important the Golden Snitch is in Quidditch.
Of course, even if you catch the Golden Snitch, you might not win the game. If your opponent scores too many points, catching the Golden Snitch could actually lead to a loss.
This depends on the tactics and specific circumstances.
Furthermore, the Golden Snitch is enchanted and can recognize the first person to come into contact with it.
This is because only the Seeker can catch the Golden Snitch. If anyone else catches it, not only will the game not end, but they may also be directly judged as having lost or be severely punished.
Professor McGonagall fell into deep thought upon hearing Wood's words; perhaps she was considering whether or not to give Lin Yu a broom?
For example, a Nimbus costs two thousand?
Lin Yu was the calmest of the three. Because he hadn't heard the system notification sound for a while, he asked, "So, does that mean that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'm already considered a member of our team?"
Professor McGonagall snapped out of her reverie and smiled at Lin Yu, saying, "That's right, Lin Yu, I hope you'll train hard. Otherwise, I'll punish you."
Because she had already made up her mind, perhaps she really wanted to give Lin Yu a broom?
At the same time, Lin Yu finally received a system notification: "Task completed. Rewards have been sent to the system space. The host can check them at any time."
Lin Yu's heart stirred, and his spirit entered a special space. Then he saw that in one of the 'places' that was originally empty, two large piles of things suddenly appeared.
One of the piles contained various herbs, including flowers, grasses, roots and stems of various plants, and even a small piece of wood.
There was also a bunch of fruits of various colors, some as small as a fingernail, others larger than a baby's head, and still others in bunches like grapes.
Without exception, none of them were people he recognized.
Lin Yu quietly put away the system space and then prepared to take his leave.
But Wood said to Lin Yu, "I don't think you know much about Quidditch. Since it's this time, how about I explain the basic rules to you?"
Professor McGonagall, who should have been serious and attentive, simply watched as two students openly discussed skipping class without making any attempt to stop them.
Lin Yu naturally did not refuse, after all, compared to going back to class, everything else was more interesting.
Even though he had never played Quidditch before.
So the two said goodbye to Professor McGonagall and left together.
On the way, Wood told Lin Yu, "Professor McGonagall values the team's performance very much, especially last year when we lost to Slytherin. Not only did Slytherin win the House Cup, but they also won the Quidditch Trophy. This made Professor McGonagall hesitant to face Professor Snape alone for several weeks. So we absolutely cannot lose this year."
Wood has a passionate spirit.
Lin Yu then understood why Professor McGonagall was so persistent and concerned about this matter.
However, he couldn't help but remind Wood: "But I remember that first-year students aren't allowed to join Quidditch, right?"
Wood replied, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall will always find a way to get Professor Dumbledore to agree."
Lin Yu thought he was right.
So this isn't something he needs to worry about.
