Fortunately, Qi Yu's spirit was tenacious, and after resting for a few minutes, he returned to normal, just watching him look around looking for people to inquire about Lawrence's specific situation, he wouldn't want to do anything, right?

The magic bus runs smoothly along the road, and the houses on both sides of the road are modern, not in the grand and mysterious medieval style of the magic academy.

After all, the academy has existed for a long, long time, and the houses on the side of the road were only newly built decades ago.

After about an hour of driving, the surroundings gradually became noisy, and a series of cheers and screams could be heard, wave after wave.

Qi Yu looked out the car window, and there was a large gymnasium not far away, and there was a projection of a magical image on it, in which a magician riding a broom was constantly flying and chasing a golden flying ball, the Golden Snitch.

The cheers came from the gymnasium and the nearby crowd.

Coach Jones snorted softly when he saw the magic image, with a hint of unnaturalness and regret.

These images are some of the best footage from the Quidditch Tri-House Tournament over the years, and it's clear that St. Ylang has only made up a small part of it, estimated to be less than 10 percent.

Except for Jones, the other members of the team and Bolton did not look very good.

Bolton also came over and patted Qi Yu's shoulder: "Come on, let this group of fools see what a genius magician is, and let them experience what it means to burst into tears." ”

"Okay." Qi Yu nodded.

If the flying level of those students is really like what is shown in the magic video, they will not be able to fight with one hand.

This made Qi Yu feel like he was bullying a child. In fact, Qi Yu is indeed a lot older than these people. By his age, he was almost ready to graduate from the Academy of Magic—he had worked hard for two years to graduate a little later than the others.

The magic bus entered the parking lot of the gymnasium and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, both by students and supporters of St. Ylang College.

After all, this is Cape Arabella, the home of Saint-Ylang, and although Saint-Ylang has not performed well in recent years, everyone still shows great enthusiasm.

Jones and Burton walked to the break room with seven regular starters and substitutes as they motioned to the crowd around them.

In the break room, Jones made his final pre-war encouragement: "Don't let them down." ”

It's just that, except for the presence of the old god Qi Yu and he didn't care, the other team members were a little nervous. It's not the first time they've competed, but it's not the first time they've been beaten into dogs. Although he had Qi Yu as a new force to join, it was only in a short period of ten days, and he probably didn't even fully understand the specific rules, right?

You know, Quidditch has 700 foul situations.

But there's not much time left to worry about them. With the announcer's excited voice on the radio that could almost knock the entire stadium upside down, Jones officially entered the field with seven starters.

What followed was a "friendly meeting and handshake ceremony" between the two teams full of gunpowder.

The Quidditch Tri-House Tournament is a three-day tournament with three houses battling each other in pairs, and today is the first day of the tournament and the first one. St. Ylan, as the host, confronts the El Academy.

The seven Quidditch players of the El House are all men, and they are a little contemptuous when they look at the members of the Saint-Ylang Academy, they defeated the Saint-Ylang House in the last tournament, and opened up a big gap to the third-place Saint-Ylang Academy.

"You're still going to lose to us this time." Eugene, the captain of the El Academy, whispered, his gaze lingering on Qi Yu for a moment, "You won't find any foreign help, will you?" There was a thick mockery in his tone.

Qi Yu's eastern hole pestle is still very eye-catching among a bunch of Westerners. Moreover, Qi Yu is not a real young man after all, he grew up in a welfare home, and he has always been extremely independent, and he has a mature and indifferent temperament in it.

Such a person is still quite conspicuous among a group of childish students.

"He's our secret weapon, don't be scared later." Naturally, Saint-Ylang's side returned the favor.

"I'll wait." Eugene sneered and stepped aside to stand.

As the "Friendly Meeting Ends" hovered above the magical stands high in the sky, the Director of the Ministry of Magic's Sports Division began to speak. After a brief speech, the Director said in a neutral voice, "Now, I announce that the Quidditch Triplex Cup has officially begun!" ”

The sound spread through the gymnasium as the magic spread, and at the same time, he waved his wand, and a golden light emerged, and it was a golden snitch with wings flapping.

The appearance of the Golden Snitch means that the game has officially begun.

Loud cheers erupted from the audience, and everyone shouted.

However, their cheers continued for a few seconds before they came to an abrupt end, and the whole scene suddenly became silent, in stark contrast to the excitement that had almost toppled the sky.

Near the levitating platform, which has not completely left the competition venue, there is an additional figure.

Qi Yu stood on top of the Halo 5000, hovering diagonally above the head of the Ministry of Magic, holding in his hand the golden snitch who had lost his freedom before he had flown half a meter away.

Qi Yu pinched the little golden snitch with two fingers, looked at it with interest, looked down at the stunned crowd, and asked, "Caught this, is it one hundred and fifty points?" ”

"Uh-yes."

The head of the Ministry of Magic's Sports Division replied instinctively.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he has presided over a lot of Quidditch extravaganza, and the competition between three of the magic schools is just a small fight for him and the bunch of big people sitting behind him, and the performance is more than a competitive game.

For them, it's the "National" competition of real Quidditch players that is interesting when it comes to the fierce clash of the "Champion of the Realm".

But even in such a game, these people have never experienced the situation where the Golden Snitch was caught in their hands within a few seconds of the opening of the game.

Just kidding, right?

The platform was suspended at an altitude of nearly 100 meters, and all the team members were flying less than two meters above the underground green space - they had just taken off, and a few of them were not even able to sit on brooms.

And then -- and then there was no more, the game was over! Because someone has already caught the Golden Snitch!

"Young man, you've been lying in ambush with me, have you?" The director of the sports department, Durau, had a strange look, and he was tempted to ask.

The people behind him also had strange looks, the strangest of them was Michael, the principal of St. Ylang Academy. Of course, he knew about Qi Yu's participation in the competition, and he also promised that if he won the championship, he could let Qi Yu make a reasonable request to the Ministry of Magic on behalf of St. Ylang Academy.

However, you're exaggerating, aren't you? This game hasn't started yet!

Could it be that the Bolton guys just told you that you could get 150 points for catching the Golden Snitch?

And Burton and Jones, who were standing outside the field, also had an extremely difficult conversation.

"Do you sue him for rules?"

"No, I thought you would."

"I'm teaching him magic! Just a brief mention—"

"How easy is it?"

"Probably catch the Golden Snitch well, there will be a reward of 150 points. The competition is based on points, and the more points, the better. That's probably how simple it is......"

"Didn't you tell him that if you caught the golden fly, the game would be over!"

"No, this kid is basically a little bit good at magic, and I seem to have developed a bad habit."

“……”

"It's 150 points."

Qi Yu smiled, his pinched fingers were released, and the golden snitch that had gained freedom suddenly slipped out of Qi Yu's hand, and he could only barely see the golden arcs in the distance constantly appearing and disappearing.

“――”

After a brief loss of consciousness, he immediately exchanged a "you know me" look with Michael, and announced loudly, "It was just a little joke, what, scared you?" Well, the game continues! ”

He whispered to Qi Yu, who was a little puzzled: "The points are calculated." ”

Qi Yu, who received an affirmative answer, turned his head to look at the golden snitch that was constantly flying in the air, ready for the second capture.

And other viewers who didn't know the truth were also deceived by the "calm as usual" director of the sports department, thinking that it was just a small easter egg joke just now, and burst into cheers again.

"Merlin, slow down, don't catch the Golden Snitch so quickly, if you catch it, the game will be over."

Taking advantage of this gap, Michael, who saw that Qi Yu didn't quite understand the rules, immediately popularized the rules of Quidditch to him.

"I see, no wonder you're so surprised." Qi Yu said, and the magic that surged on the broom also stopped.

"That's it, let's play well." Michael wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The race is finally on track.

Other batsmen, goalkeepers, and pursuers also began to do their jobs.

"Pay attention to that Oriental man and knock him down!" Eugene, the captain and Seeker of El Academy, said to the other two batters.

He vividly remembered that before the game had even begun, the guy named Merlin was still standing beside him, spinning the light wheel 5000 in his hand boredly, as if it were a large wand.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, it appeared near the high platform? Is this just an easter egg? What about liars! Besides, that guy actually stood directly on the magic broom, not to mention his hands, and most of his body was freed, which is something that ordinary people can do?

Suddenly, Eugene didn't have that much confidence in winning the game.

Qi Yu stood on top of the broomstick, watching the golden snitch fly continuously, and did not make any movement.

He remembers that the game is based on points, and after three games, the team with the most points will win the championship. If you end the game too quickly and wait until the other two teams face each other to score points, St. Ylan's College will be Spartan.

Anyway, he can catch the Golden Snitch at any time, now...... Let the scores fly, let the golden snitch fly.
