Chapter 9 Offense and Defense
There are as many as 700 ways to break the rules of Quidditch, including but not limited to transforming the chaser into a chicken mink, attempting to cut off the goalkeeper's head with a machete, and releasing a hundred vampire bats from under his robes to attack opponents - all of which are all part of the most famous Quidditch foul match in the history of magic.

It was the first world-class Quidditch in the wizarding world, and it was the first game that laid the foundation for the entire Quidditch infraction - but even the one that had all the infractions did not come to terms - that is, a wizard knocked his opponent out of complete disregard for his own safety.
Unlike the usual foul charge, where angle and speed must be taken into account in order to strategically knock the opponent down to gain possession, Hogwarts players have completely abandoned their defenses, all they have to do is choose their target and accelerate as hard as they can - even evenly matched opponents are defenseless against it, let alone the Hogwarts wizards.
This action was quickly rewarded with a penalty from the referee, but the focus of the Hogwarts wizards and Ilvermorny wizards had completely disappeared from the Quaffle - the substitute Ilvermorny wizards and the original players gave up the goal and began to desperately dodge - because the Hogwarts wizards began to crash into them frantically.
While the audience was dumbfounded on the chase match, Alan sneaked into the players' lounge.
At this point, the substitutes were fully dressed and ready to come on as substitutes - and it seemed that they had the urge to scare the wizard on the other side.
"Alan, are you here?"
His arrival was soon discovered by the players - they patted their clothes and said, half-playfully and half-seriously:
"Look--those bitchless, I'll crash into that one later! As for you, Alan, don't get involved, kids—wait until we win. ”
"Oh, victory?" - Alan asked angrily - "where to win?"
"Isn't that what you said before? those who can play, and then we-" The leader said half-stuck--he suddenly remembered that he couldn't get the second team together on his side.
"Signal Alex to ask for a timeout. Alan said angrily to the Seeker's alternate.
"But don't we have an advantage?" he gestured to the team that was still chasing over there—their Seeker was about to catch up with the man on the other side.
"Where is the advantage? There are only a few of us? There are four whole academies! If all the teams of one academy are knocked down by us, they will definitely go to the other academy - how many people from the academy can you knock down?"
"Oh, okay, I'll tell him right away!" the player turned to leave, but was stopped by Alan, who pointed to his jersey in his surprised gaze.
"Take off the jersey first, I'm going to use it. In the player's bewilderment, his jersey was taken off by Allen.
With a few bright rays of light coming out, in the distressed gaze of the player, the oversized jersey was changed to an exaggerated small jersey with rough raw edges.
It's a pity that Alan didn't have time to look at his distressed eyes - "Why are you still stunned, why don't you go quickly?"
Distressed, the player raced to the edge of the pitch and began to gesture - a simple sign language invented in the air because it was inconvenient to speak because of the high speed of flying.
Luckily, the gesture was quickly noticed - after the Seeker managed to bump into an opposing player, at least without sacrificing another player.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The request to suspend the game was quickly granted, and a group of Hufflepuffs gathered to listen to Allen's new plan for the game - and they realized something was wrong.
If they do what they think, the end label on their heads will be the irritated irregularity of the loser - a title that is light according to the performance of the other side.
When the two sides reappeared on the pitch, the Illamony were already boiling again - they were not stupid after all, and at this moment, under the stands of the Illamony players, there was a dense crowd of people, and it was easy to see from their uniforms of different colors that they did not belong to the same academy.
But it didn't matter - they were all Ilvermorny's players at the moment, and there was no way to find fault with this kind of trickery.
The large waiting line-up once again gave the cheering demonstrators courage - the previous performance of the Hogwarts wizards made them forget to wave the banner.
When Eren came out, there was a burst of laughter in Ilvermorny's cheering crowd - the little wizard who was a head shorter than the other players appeared in a comical outfit that had just been remodeled, and although the uniform did not hinder the movement of hands and feet under the alteration of magic, it looked ugly like a crumpled old newspaper stained with ink.
Unfortunately, the jeers and insults had no effect on the Hogwarts players - fourteen broomsticks flew into the air as the whistle blew.
As Alan had predicted, the short break allowed Ilvermorny's men to quickly discover their strengths - instead of avoiding the Hogwarts players, they began to attack the Hogwarts players on their own initiative.
However, this did not work as well as it should have been - the Hogwarts players had been prepared and deftly dodged the attacks.
The game became less like a broomstick collision match than a Quidditch - but at this point, the wizards of Ilvermorny began to switch from defense to offense.
Dodging is never the last word - soon Ilvermorny's wizards will be surrounding the Seeker that Hogwarts has just replaced - no way, he is too thin, which makes many Ilvermorny wizards choose him as a target, after all, the opponent is thinner, and the damage to himself will be lower when colliding.
What they didn't expect, however, was that what they were rounding up at the moment was not an insignificant half-cut Flober caterpillar that was out of the ground—the little end of the ground that was jumping was not the body of a caterpillar, but the tail of the dragon flapping in a moment of boredom.
The two players quickly caught up with Alan - and since it was not easy to hit the nimble Hogwarts wizards alone, they decided to win by volume.
After predicting Alan's flight path, they crashed into Allen, and unfortunately, just as they were about to crash into the unprepared Allen, the new Hogwarts Seeker stopped the broomstick in an eerie way!
It wasn't a normal broomstick's slowdown—there was no slowing down at all, and Eren felt like he had been nailed to the spot by something!
In this case, the two players who were about to collide with him looked horrified—their broomsticks slammed into each other and broke in two at the moment when Allen's rapid stop—and they fell to the ground with their masters.
