Chapter 30: The Duel
With Sebastian's appearance, the sky at the scene was suddenly torn apart by one after another high-pitched Bei screams, and these screams were mixed with inexplicable shouts such as 'Seba I love you', which should be Sebastian's fans, and they are all very crazy female fans!
The two of them each stopped at opposite ends of the arena, and behind them were two towers with different flags fluttering above them.
Behind Vincent in the wind was a large flag embroidered with griffins, the whole flag was red as the background, and the golden griffins flew proudly.
Behind Sebastian is a dark green flag, on the left of the banner is a wizard wearing a gray cloak and a gray top hat, the wizard holds a high sheep-herding staff in his hand, and in the distant horizon is the shadow of a vague ibex.
In the middle of the arena was a wizard referee dressed in a quaint manner, who did not wear a wizard hat or robes, but rode on a broomstick like a clerk among ordinary people, and in his hand was an exaggerated puppet with a small colored flag in each of its hands, a small red flag on Vincent's side and a small green flag on Seba's side.
Around the arena near the ground there were also large nets that shimmered faintly, and the large nets shrouded the entire ground, and Hugo thought about it and felt that this should be a protective measure, a means of protection against secondary injuries caused by falling from a height.
Just when the crowd was already burning to its highest point, the wizard referee put his wand to his throat, and his voice immediately appeared in the arena like thunder.
"Quiet, Hogwarts students, be quiet!" the referee's voice suppressed all the commotion and said in a loud voice, "The next is the upcoming Vincent Conner of the Griffon's Heart vs. Sebastian Stan of the Scottish Shepherd, both sides need to abide by the rules and etiquette of the Air Knights, two wizards, please step forward"
As Gordon's words fell, the two players flew to Gordon's side on their broomsticks, pressed their right hands to their chests and greeted each other, then greeted the referee and flew back to their original places again.
"Now I announce, the competition begins!" Referee Gordon loudly announced the official start of the air knight duel, the screams on the scene once again climbed a new level, Hugo looked everywhere with a sea of cheers and exhilarating shouts, even he himself couldn't help but immerse himself in this boiling atmosphere, it was difficult to hold himself.
The two competitors had not yet risen into the air, but were preparing on the ground, and the broomsticks they were riding under their crotches were clearly not the kind of defective products that Hugo used in practice, but looked like the ones that had been carefully crafted and carefully maintained.
"I've heard that Vincent's broomstick is made of oak with a magical flavor, which makes it very resistant to flying broomsticks, and can maintain quite good stability in high winds and more violent impacts, which is obviously very suitable for a Gryffindor like him."
Just as the two contestants were greeting each other, the pregnant Maidy's voice rang out in time to begin his duties as a commentator, and it could be seen that Vincent's broomstick did seem to be thicker than Sebastian's, giving people a strong sense of strength.
"Sebastian's broomstick, on the other hand, is made of mahogany, and the overall shape is more slender, and I heard that the wood used for his broomstick is just the shepherd's cane, which makes his broomstick more maneuverable and more agile when flying in the air."
"Now that the two of them have finished greeting each other, and have returned to their flags for their final preparations, oh, behold, they have taken off their Hogwarts uniforms, put on their last protective gear and held their spears, and now is the most exciting time, students, you are about to have the first exciting game of the new term, and see if the brave griffin wins or the proud shepherd wins, let's cheer for them!"
The cheers on the scene surged like a sea of mountains, and I don't know where the waves of people began to rise and fall one after another, and in this mountain and tsunami, the two duelists began to move!
Dressed in sturdy armor, wearing helmets, and carrying a spear about two people high, the two rode broomsticks on each other and began to charge face to face!
At this time, the flying broomstick must not be able to accelerate to a terrifying speed in an instant like the fire crossbow arrows or light wheels of later generations, and the equipment on the two people also has a good weight, and the speed is still not fast when they sprint to each other at the beginning, but as time goes by, the speed of the two begins to get faster and faster, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer, like two bullets destined to collide together, and they begin to collide desperately towards the established fate.
Hugo's eyes stared at the two people who were approaching quickly without blinking, and the cheers of the audience had long since disappeared, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath desperately, for fear that the slightest sound would affect the duel of the knights on the field.
Vincent looked at Sebastian flying towards him, the adrenaline on his body was crazy, the excitement made his spirit more concentrated than ever, there was no arena, no spectators, no referees in his eyes, only the shepherds who were standing in his way!
Just when the distance between the two was close to an instant, they invariably controlled the broomsticks under them to shake continuously in a small area, and one by one dazzling small movements continued to deceive the knights on the opposite side, all trying to avoid the impact of the spear when they hit each other.
Although Vincent's broomstick is not as flexible as his opponent, he has better stability and is less susceptible to wind pressure and impact during the fast approach, allowing him to better play the advantage of his strong physique, which is very suitable for him.
The knight's impact inevitably happened, in this moment Vincent seemed to be able to feel the other party's mood and thoughts, as if he was having a strange exchange, the pursuit of honor made the two people have no room to retreat at all, they desperately adjusted their bodies and spears, and in this short moment of convergence, they poked desperately towards each other's bodies!
The knight's spear is broken!
The winner has been decided in this moment!
