Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 374

 Chapter 374 New Team

 At the beginning of October, the Quidditch season is approaching.

 Cedric has been acting more and more nervous recently. No matter where he goes, he always takes a notebook and writes and draws in it.

And the book he usually reads has been changed from the original "The Development and Change of Magic Curses in the Middle Ages"... to "Detailed Explanation of One Hundred Quidditch Tactics".

According to Cedric's words, "When Harris was captain, the team never lost once. I must keep the Quidditch Cup in Hufflepuff."

 The second weekend of October.

Kyle wanted to sleep in, but Cedric ran over early in the morning and dragged him to the auditorium without any explanation.

 “Training, Kyle, you've been absent three times!”

While the two were eating beef sandwiches, Cedric said seriously, "Will you be fine this time..."

"Um...there should be no more." Looking at Cedric's unkind eyes, Kyle said with a guilty conscience.

Mainly because some time ago, the mandrakes he planted in the Room of Requirement began to become active, which was also a sign that they were about to mature.

 It's a few months later than expected, but it's finally mature.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the end, Kyle will run to the Room of Requirement whenever he has time.

 Let alone training, he didn't even miss it between classes, he was very busy.

 The good news is that his efforts were not in vain... The mandrakes are all mature and healthy, and their screams can be said to be full of energy.

Although Kyle was wearing earmuffs throughout the whole process, judging from their performance and demeanor, this should be the case.

 “Are you sure you're okay?” Cedric glanced at him suspiciously.

 “Sure!” Kyle nodded.

 Poisonous Tentacles should still take some time, and it should be almost ready by the end of this year.

But it was still early.

And after Cedric became the captain, it is indeed a bit unreasonable that he missed so many trainings in a row.

 Those who don't know may think that he is dissatisfied with Cedric as the captain.

Kyle didn't want to leave this illusion to others.

After becoming the captain, you have to be responsible for recruiting new people, and also responsible for formulating training plans and game tactics. It is extremely busy, so let Cedric do it.

"So much the better."

Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "The game is about to start. No matter how busy you are, you still have to participate in training as much as possible. At the very least, you have to cooperate with the new players... We have four more people this time." A new member of the team."

There are seven people in a team, four of them are new players, and most of them have been replaced. It's no wonder that Cedric is really nervous.

"Wait a minute..." Kyle suddenly realized something, raised his head and asked, "How many did you just say?"

 “Four!”

“Isn't there three?” Kyle looked at him doubtfully, “Two chasers and one goalkeeper... I remember it seems that only three of them are in the same class.”

"So, you don't care about the team at all..." Cedric's eyes became evil again.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he explained: "Wright, the seventh-year batsman, wanted to join the Aurors after graduation, but his results were not outstanding and he just met the minimum requirements.

 And Quidditch training takes up too much time. In order to get a few more certificates after graduation... Just yesterday, he just submitted an application to me to withdraw from the team. "

"Yesterday?" Kyle frowned, "It's been so long, can Ms. Huo Qi agree to our substitution?"

 “She agreed.”

Cedric said, "Because graduation is approaching, many people will hesitate between Quidditch and certificates. It is not uncommon for Wright to be like this. Maybe they don't want to delay their graduation. As long as they are seventh grade students, no matter when You can quit if you want...even before the last game."

Kyle nodded. He really didn't know this before.

“Have you found the person to replace him?” Kyle asked.

“There are several candidates.” Cedric lowered his voice and said, “I think your roommate is good, the one named Mikel.”

 “Mikel?” Kyle was a little surprised.

"Yes." Cedric said, "Do you still remember in the second grade? He just carried a Bludger across half the court. This is not something ordinary people can do. It requires strong arm strength. Just fine.

Now that I think about it, he seems to have a lot of talent as a batsman...of course, he still needs a little training. "

 Afterwards, the two called Mikel, who had just finished breakfast, and two other students, and headed to the Quidditch pitch together.

But they had just arrived when another group of people in red robes also entered the stadium, holding broomsticks in their hands.

"Cedric?" Oliver Wood strode over, "Shouldn't your training time be in the afternoon?"

“It was originally like this.” Cedric explained: “But something unexpected happened. Ms. Huo Qi allowed us to book the court today to select new players.”

"New player? But now it's...oh..." Wood suddenly came to his senses mid-sentence and asked tentatively: "That seventh-grade hitter of yours?"

“Ah, yes.” Cedric didn't hide it, “He quit in order to have more time to study...so we must seize the time and select a new batsman.

  Sorry, your trip may have been in vain. "

Oliver Wood smiled subconsciously on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

"It doesn't matter, your things are obviously more important." He said in a brisk tone, as if he didn't care at all that the training time was taken up.

 “I guess Oliver must be very happy.”

On the way back, Fred whispered to Harry: "He has always felt that Hufflepuff is our biggest opponent."

“But they ran into some trouble this year,” George said. “Three of their old players have graduated, plus Wright who quit.”

"This means..." Harry thought for a moment and said, "More than half of the Hufflepuff team we will face this year are new players with no competition experience?"

"You're right!"

At this time, Oliver Wood turned his head and said: "For us, this is a good opportunity...Hufflepuff's glorious era has passed. We will definitely be able to take the Quidditch Cup back from them this time." !”

He clenched his fist and said, "Ever since Harry joined the team, I have always thought that winning the Quidditch Cup is a sure thing, but I have never been able to do so. This is the last chance..."

Wood is in seventh grade this year and will graduate next year. All the results the team will achieve after that have nothing to do with him... He desperately wants to win.

"I guess Gryffindor must be snickering now." On the court, Kyle looked at the backs of them as they left and whispered: "But it's okay to replace so many experienced old players at once. There's a way.”

 “But they were wrong about one thing.”

Cedric smiled and said: "The new players do not mean they are weak in strength. Their experience in the field can be accumulated slowly during the game."

"And..." He glanced at Kyle, "We also have the best Chaser in Hogwarts."

“Well, you're right to say that.” Kyle didn't feel embarrassed at all and admitted it directly.

Cedric is indeed suitable to be the captain...at least he has a good vision.
