Chapter 389 I strongly opposed Professor Swan's retirement

Madam Hooch placed a large box in front of the two of them and opened the lid. Inside, ten golden snitches were neatly arranged, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.

"Please both contestants confirm the number on the Golden Snitch."

Krum immediately leaned over and looked at the golden snitch carefully. He found that each snitch had a number clearly marked on its surface, from 1 to 10, which was very obvious.

This made him feel slightly relieved.

Fortunately, the numbers are large and clear.

This way you don't have to worry about not being able to see clearly from the sky later.

Madam Hooch then took out two dark brown cloth bags and handed them to the two of them.

"This is the bag you use to store the Snitch. The bag has windproof magic, ensuring that even during intense flight, you can easily put the captured Snitch into it. You can tie it around your waist for easy use."

She then pointed to the box and added, "In order to facilitate the difficult challenge of catching the Snitch in order, this box has been cast with a special alchemical magic. When you catch a Snitch, the corresponding number on the lid will automatically light up, making it easier for me to check the progress."

"If there is no doubt, I will release the Snitch now."

"Krum, you can start locking onto your target now." Sebastian gave a friendly reminder while holding the Firebolt.

Krum did not hesitate, sitting astride the Firebolt, and staring at the Snitch No. 1 with a hawk-like gaze. He took a deep breath, tensed his whole body, and entered a state of readiness.

He wants to challenge the highest difficulty and catch the golden snitch in the order of number.

Seeing that neither of them had any objection, Madam Hooch extended her wand and tapped the box lightly.

In an instant, the wings of the golden snitch in the box suddenly spread out, making a buzzing sound, and then rushed into the sky like an arrow.

In a flash, the ten golden snitches disappeared completely into the sky, with only faint spots of light reminding them of their existence.

The young wizards in the audience held their breath, waiting for this unprecedented competition to officially begin.

"On your marks, 3-2-1, go!"

With a loud whistle, Krum raised the Firebolt and flew into the air in an instant.

His figure drew a sharp arc in the air, and the speed was so fast that the audience on the ground exclaimed.

His eyes were like an eagle, fixed closely on the trajectory of the Golden Snitch No. 1. The Snitch was moving quickly through the air in an extremely cunning manner, sometimes climbing, sometimes diving, and its wings made a low humming sound.

Krum's movements were so smooth that the broom seemed to come alive in his hands. He leaned forward slightly, and the broom quickly sank down, almost parallel to the Snitch.

His eyes were always locked on the target, his arms poised, like a cheetah ready to strike at any moment.

He adjusted his breathing, took into account the changes in airflow caused by the thief, and predicted its movements in the next second.

Suddenly, the Golden Snitch made a sharp turn, drew a small arc like lightning, and avoided Krum's pursuit.

Krum was about to adjust the direction of his broom when he saw Snitch No. 1 fly straight into Sebastian's hands.

what's the situation?

Professor Swann happened to be there, as if he had predicted that the Snitch would go straight into his hand.

"Professor Swann has caught the Golden Snitch No. 1!" As Madam Hooch explained, the little wizards cheered.

Krum was not distracted by this. He steadied his broom and quickly scanned the sky, looking for the next trace of the Golden Snitch.

"Number two is southeast, Krum."

So fast? !

Hearing Sebastian's prompt, Krum had no doubts, adjusted his direction with amazing flexibility, and flew quickly to the southeast.

Soon, he found the golden shadow, and after careful identification, he found that it was the Golden Snitch No. 2.

Huh?

Why is Professor Swann flying downwards? Has he given up on catching the second thief?

Before this thought faded, Krum found that the golden snitch in front of him turned sharply and crashed into Sebastian's hands again.

Then, the opponent suddenly dived to the lower right and caught another golden shadow above the ground of the Quidditch field.

"Professor Swann has caught Snitch No. 2 and No. 3 in a row!"

Crush!

With just three Golden Snitches, Krum felt the shocking gap between himself and his opponent.

Since he started playing Quidditch, he had never experienced such a feeling of being crushed.

"Krum, fly up, number four is in the clouds."

here we go again......

Still so fast, doesn’t it take time for the other party to search for the Golden Snitch?

And it is accurate enough to be numbered.

Waves of powerlessness came over Krum, almost making him lose the courage to continue the game.

He clenched his teeth and silently encouraged himself.

You can no longer catch them by number, you have to go at your own pace.

Instead of climbing up to chase No. 4, he scanned the field and quickly rushed over after spotting a flash of golden light.

As for Madam Hooch's shouts and the cheers of the audience on the sidelines, he automatically blocked out all of them, and his attention was all focused on the golden snitch.

As they got closer, Krum discovered that it was the Golden Snitch No. 6. He followed the Golden Snitch closely, sometimes climbing rapidly and sometimes diving down.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Just when Krum thought he could catch the golden snitch firmly, a figure fell from the sky, passed by him, and took away the golden snitch in front of him.

"Professor Swan has caught the Golden Snitch No. 6 again. Now there are only four Golden Snitches left on the field, No. 7 to No. 10."

The little wizards cheered, their faces flushed with excitement, and they couldn't sit quietly in the audience seats.

"Professor Swan is amazing! I need to shoot more steadily. This magic video will definitely sell well and I will make a fortune."

"This steal is so amazing! It came from the sky like a peregrine falcon hunting."

"I was strongly against Professor Swan's retirement. How could he think of retiring when he was so talented? If he hadn't retired, we would definitely have seen more exciting games."

"Are you sure you can see an exciting game? You know, the professor has a habit of catching the Golden Snitch within two minutes."

"Um...it seems like this..."

Today's game was a feast for the eyes for everyone.

Before the game, some people thought Krum could win, some imagined it would be a evenly matched match, and of course more young wizards thought Sebastian had a sure win.

But no one thought that Krum, the world's number one seeker, was like a novice in front of Sebastian, and the Golden Snitch that was about to be in his hands could be snatched away.

At this point, the game was no longer suspenseful, and everyone began to speculate whether Krum could catch any of the Golden Snitch before the end of the game.

Krum didn't know what everyone was thinking, and he didn't bother to care about what they were thinking.

He simply glanced around the arena, and after locking onto a Golden Snitch, he suddenly turned the Firebolt and rushed forward like an arrow.

He clenched his teeth tightly, leaned forward slightly, and almost merged with the broom. He had only one thought in his mind: catch it!

Looking at Krum, who was as strong as a diamond and still had undiminished fighting spirit, Sebastian smiled in appreciation.

The boy is really awesome!

This kind of psychological quality and strong ability to withstand pressure are all top-notch among the top.

Since it is a piece of rough jade, it must be carved.

Thinking of this, he turned the Firebolt, drew an arc in the air, and came to Krum's side by side with him.

"Krum, do you want to learn my technique of catching the Snitch quickly?"

Under the effect of magic, Sebastian's voice clearly reached Krum's ears, making him slightly stunned.

real or fake?

Professor Swann was actually willing to teach him his Quidditch skills? !

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you learn it, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life. And if you refuse, there will probably never be a next time.

As for the game at hand, it’s already lost.

Thinking of this, he looked at Sebastian and nodded vigorously.

"You want to learn," Sebastian smiled, "Then I'll teach you!"
