MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 73 Mark's feint

  Chapter 73 Mark's feint

  When Charlie was explaining Quidditch tactics to everyone, he always used common terms, such as the eagle head attack formation, and Pokov's trick to lure the enemy.

  However, the tactic that most interested Albert was the Transylvania feint.

   This word is still learned from Charlie, because he banned Mark from using the Transylvania feint in the game.

  By asking Wood beside him, Albert got the answer.

According to Wood, Transylvania feints are actually pretending to hurt the opponent, such as pretending to punch someone, whether it is punching the opponent's nose, elbowing the opponent's chest, or even stabbing the opponent's eye with a finger. As long as you don't touch the other person, all feints are legal.

   And Mark’s best tactic is Transylvania fake moves. Sometimes he will swing a club and pretend to hit someone, or hit his opponent’s chest with his elbow, and even collide with the opponent intimidatingly on a broom.

   No one knows whether Mark's next Transylvania feint will be real or fake. After all, no one wants to get hit head-on. It's more annoying than being targeted by a Bludger.

   After all, being targeted by the Bludger, with the help of your own batter, being targeted by Mark, you can only ask for blessings.

   This creates pressure on opponents who are targeted by Mark.

   As for, really hit someone?

  Of course he will be sentenced to a violation. Mark’s excuses are always justified. His Transylvania feint failed, and his attitude of admitting his mistake is sincere... no wonder.

  Anyway, it is a violation. This situation is not serious. At most, it is to give the opponent a ghost ball. The player who receives an elbow or a stick is considered unlucky.

   "Is it true?" Albert murmured.

"Haha, look, Charlie, Albert also knows the tricks of Transylvania's fake moves, why don't you understand? The fake move is to be true and false, otherwise how can you scare the other party?" Mark did it with his bare hands. Made an exaggerated swing. "Now, when people see me raise a bat, they all have to run away."

   "Don't quibble, what happened last semester, you know very well." Charlie warned sternly, "Anyway, you are not allowed to use Transylvania fake moves in the game, did you hear me?"

   "Okay." Mark blinked.

   "Did something happen last year?" Albert asked curiously. The other newcomers all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Last year! Before the match against Slytherin, the two sides had a little conflict outside the field. So, Jack was made unable to participate by the opponent, so Mark was on the field..." Danny tried not to let himself laugh He raised his hand and made a swinging motion, and explained in a low voice: "Well, Mark used a Transylvanian fake to knock out the Slytherin Seeker with one stick, although he himself has always claimed It was just a tactical error in Transylvania's feint, but the distraught Professor Hooch still banned Mark from the game for a semester."

   However, Slytherin eventually lost the game because there was no Seeker.

Later, the Slytherin students labeled Mark as insidious, and Gryffindor obviously didn't care about it. They were happy to see Slytherin lose the game, even if the means were a little disgraceful, but this kind of thing after all Or the other party started first.

  After half an hour of tactical explanations, the official players returned to the court to practice Charlie's tactics, while Albert and several newcomers continued to fly in circles on broomsticks.

   On the way, there was a little accident. Fred, who had changed broomsticks with Albert, was forced to get off the broomstick not long after flying.

  This time, Fred had to admit that there was something wrong with the broomstick.

  Quidditch training lasted until 10:30. There was no way. There were only three training opportunities per week. If you couldn't hurry up and train hard, it would not be easy to win the Quidditch championship.

  Of course, strict training is only for official players. Charlie gives the newcomers free and easy training, mainly to cultivate their flying skills and enthusiasm for Quidditch.

   Without that enthusiasm, it would be very difficult to survive the difficult Quidditch training. After all, whether it's raining, snowing, or thundering, Quidditch training will still go on.

  After the training, everyone gathered in the locker room. Charlie commented on the problems that occurred during the training, and recorded the problems, and waited for the next Quidditch training to train specifically for the shortcomings.

   "Albert flies well." When Wood took off his protective gear, he glanced at Charlie and said, "He is very suitable as a seeker."

   "Is Charlie going to give up the Seeker position next year?" Jack said exaggeratedly. Of course he knew that this was impossible. After all, Charlie was the captain, and there was no captain who didn't play.

   Several people also agreed with Albert's talent, otherwise Wood would not have said that.

   "Your younger brother is also good." Irene suddenly said, "If you can't find a more suitable one next year, you can let them take our place."

   "How about letting Albert be the Chaser?" Danny suggested, "I think he should be suitable too."

   "I think Angelina is good, that girl is more suitable to replace you." Mario added, "If she can stand out in the selection next year."

  Jack said: "As long as she trains with us, there is no problem."

"Cough." Charlie coughed, interrupting the discussion, "For some reason, Albert didn't focus on Quidditch, he joined Professor McGonagall's...well, the Transfiguration Club .”

   "Transformation Club," Wood asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

   "Did you see the transformation today?" Erin asked.

   "No." Wood replied honestly.

  Irene was speechless for a while, thought for a while and explained, "You can understand it as a club where a group of geniuses who are good at transfiguration gather."

   "Didn't he just enter school?" Everyone else was a little surprised.

   Well, now everyone can guess Charlie's good intentions. This is the Seeker who is going to leave a substitute for the team.

  Although Charlie is a Seeker himself, he is about to graduate. After he graduates, if the team can't find a suitable Seeker, won't there be a ready-made substitute?

  Although Albert is busy with the transformation club, if Wood really can't find a good suitor, I believe Professor McGonagall will definitely help persuade Albert to join the Quidditch team. After all, they all knew that Professor McGonagall had no worse love for Quidditch than anyone else.

  If Albert found out, he would definitely shake his head and curse: Don't worry, when Charlie graduates, there will be a pig foot named Harry Potter to take over the Seeker's position.
