Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

The wind swept across the beech trees at the edge of the field, swirling up a few golden and red leaves.

Once the two arrived at the Quidditch stadium stands, they could see Ryan standing in the stadium from afar.

There were many other Eagle Academy students who had also come to register.

Captain Roger stood in front of them with his hands on his hips, behind him were the official members of the Eagle Academy team.

"John, senior, you're finally here!"

At that moment, Titus and Ethan in the stands spotted them and waved to them.

"Hmm, how's it going? Have we started?"

"They're doing a pre-match pep talk. Well, because there aren't enough people, they've mixed the official players and these qualifiers together into two teams. They'll have a little competition later to see what each of them is capable of."

Titus told John about the current situation.

Ryan signed up to be a Seeker, and he was the only one who signed up.

Therefore, it is only natural that he will face Akio, the official Seeker of the Upper Eagle Academy.

Although the official team members might intentionally go easy on them to test their mettle.

But they're not so easy to deal with.

"It's about to begin! It's about to begin!"

Ethan quickly patted the two people who were chatting and looked towards the stadium.

The two groups, who had already been divided into teams, mounted their brooms and took off.

Captain Roger served as the referee, while also observing the performance of the newcomers.

"Ryan! Keep it up!"

John and the others saw Ryan take off and cheered him on loudly.

Ryan gave them a thumbs-up from the sky, then flew to the highest point to wait for the Golden Snitch to appear.

The scattered spectators who came to watch also cheered on their friends.

Other teams came from other colleges or schools to observe the enemy situation or simply to watch.

As the game began.

Both teams sped around the field on broomsticks.

A streak of golden light flashed across the sky.

Ryan and Qiu Zhang spotted the golden thief almost simultaneously and rushed toward him together.

"Our Ruian looks just as good as Senior Qiu Zhang, hehe."

Seeing that Ryan's reaction was no slower than Cho Chang's, Titus immediately whistled and laughed.

"After all, he's my apprentice, so it's normal for him to be more outstanding."

John, standing to the side, smugly agreed.

"Come on, you've only come a few times, what are you acting all high and mighty for?"

However, he was met with merciless mockery from Titus.

Hermione couldn't help but chuckle as she listened, secretly laughing to herself.

"You don't know anything. That's because what I teach is the essence, and he needs to digest it slowly before I can teach the next step."

John retorted with a sharp retort.

"Wow~ That's the essence~"

Titus and Ethan, who was pretending to be a chatterbox, both cried out in unison.

Hermione laughed so hard her shoulders shook.

Amidst the laughter, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Ryan made a sharp turn and swooped down, the flames from his broom brushing past the hem of Qiu Zhang's robe, heading straight for the thief.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the thief's wing, Qiu Zhang suddenly swung his tail sideways, the broom tail sweeping across Ryan's wrist and knocking him off his balance.

"Waaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

With Ryan's exclamation, he and his broom spun like an out-of-control top and crashed.

"Thump—!"

A muffled thud was heard.

"Wow~ Did you teach this idol too?"

Titus leaned over the railing of the stands and looked down, seeing Ryan sprawled on the ground, and asked John.

"No, I didn't teach that move."

John looked down as well, and said speechlessly.

"Are you still alive, Ryan?!"

Ethan then called out to those below with concern.

"Cough cough... Still alive, but not long..."

Ryan struggled to his feet, supporting his back, but still managed to crack a joke.

Although the fall was quite severe, it did not cause any significant physical damage.

Senior Qiu Zhang held back, or rather, it was just a perfectly normal technique.

It was because of his lack of experience that he was easily swept away.

The race did not stop because of Ryan's plane crash; only captain Roger came up to check on the situation.

After all, in their sport, falling from the sky is a common occurrence.

"Can we continue, Ryan?"

"No problem, Captain!"

When Roger asked him a question, Ryan quickly perked up and responded.

Then he mounted his broom again and soared into the sky.

Qiu Zhang, who had been waiting in the sky for a long time, smiled slightly when she saw Rui'an fly back again.

Then he chased after the thief again, which was essentially a test of whether Ryan was up to the task of being the chaser.

The two then chased each other in the sky, during which there were occasional disturbances that made Ryan stagger.

Ryan gritted his teeth and steadied the broom, his hair flying wildly in the air currents.

Having learned his lesson the hard way, he became more cautious, but consequently, his speed slowed down considerably.

There was nothing that Qiu Zhang could do about his various tricky feints.

We still suffered from a lack of experience.

However, this doesn't mean Ryan is bad; he's been relentlessly chasing after Qiu Zhang's broom tail.

Once Qiu Zhang shows any sign of wanting to capture the Golden Thief, he will immediately accelerate to intercept him at all costs.

The two of them went back and forth, darting around in the sky.

"John, who do you think will catch the thief?" Hermione asked John curiously.

"Of course I'll support my good brother."

John answered without hesitation.

I'm serious.

Hermione poked his kidneys in annoyance and said again.

"Hmm...uh...hiss..."

This question stumped John.

He doesn't watch Quidditch often, so how could he tell who has a better chance of winning?

"If Cho Chang continues to be so lenient, Ryan will catch up with her very soon."

Then, another voice rang out.

The two turned around and saw Luna and Neville coming together.

Unlike Luna's composure, Neville seemed incredibly shy.

That was exactly what Luna said.

She and Neville approached the two men and smiled gently at them.

"Oh, Luna, Neville, you're here too."

Upon seeing the two, Titus and the others ran back to greet them.

"I happened to run into Neville in the greenhouse, so I brought him along to cheer Ryan on."

Luna glanced at Neville, then smiled faintly at the group.

"I understand, I understand."

Hearing this, the group chuckled, making Neville's face turn even redder.

However, before they could even tease Neville, another gasp came from the field.

The golden thief that had led Ryan and Qiu Zhang into the sky suddenly plummeted.

Ryan and Qiu Zhang swooped down at the same time—

Below is the main battlefield of the game, where people occasionally dash past, and a smooth, green lawn.

If they make even the slightest mistake, they could collide with someone or fall out of control.

As an experienced woman, Akiharu instinctively slowed down, because she felt it was not the right time.

Ryan, however, thought this was a good opportunity because without Qiu Zhang's interference, the thieves hadn't yet run amok.

He suddenly lowered the broom handle and thrust a fallen sword straight at the falling thief.

This scene drew gasps from the onlookers.

Upon seeing this, John immediately stood up, staring intently at Ryan who was falling rapidly, his wand glowing, ready to catch Ryan at any moment.

Ryan, with his extraordinary courage and accurate prediction, traversed the main battlefield where the players were running around.

Then, when it was only ten meters off the ground, it reached out and grabbed, then suddenly pulled the broom up high.

However, the buffer distance is too short to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop.

So he landed in a perfect, accelerating arc.

Then, the immense inertia threw him violently off the broom, sending him tumbling through the air in a beautiful arc once more.

boom!

A muffled thud landed on the soft haystack, sending up a ring of fine grass clippings.

Grass clippings rustled down his sweat-dampened hair, but Ryan lay there on his back, grinning, and raising the golden light he was clutching high in his hand.

immediately...

"Beep—!"

Captain Roger blew his whistle.

"Ryan Gray has caught the Golden Snitch! Match over!"
