Chapter 71 Quidditch Training
"Their three greatest wishes are to set up their own circus and then tour the world." Mark smiled and introduced Mario, Danny and Jack to Albert and the others. The reason for the group.
"This is a very good ideal." Albert looked at the three curiously, and then raised his hand towards them and made a throwing motion.
"It's simple, look!" Mario got a few small **** with cloth strips from nowhere, and walked while tossing them. The **** swam up and down like fish and formed a circle, which was comparable to Muggle's. Throwing the ball is more pleasing to the eye.
"It's amazing." Several people stopped to watch Mario's performance, and couldn't help applauding.
"I say you guys are enough." Charlie shouted at them, "Go to the stadium first."
Mario smiled at Charlie, threw all the **** into the sky, and then opened the pockets of his robe, letting all the **** fall into the pockets.
This move once again ushered in a round of applause for him.
Under Charlie's stern urging, everyone trotted into the Quidditch pitch. They first went to the locker room next to the pitch and changed into the protective gear they would use for the game. It felt a bit like the protective gear they would use when playing pulleys. Well, the training that Charlie arranged for Albert was to fly, adapting to flying on a broom.
After all, Albert has just come into contact with brooms, so he needs to be familiar with using them to fly in the sky.
Most pureblood wizards will start to get in touch with broomsticks when they were young. George and Fred are the best examples. They both fly well on broomsticks.
In fact, not only Albert, all newcomers need to learn to fly, first adapt to flying, and train the reaction speed of flying on a broom.
Albert looked at the broom assigned to him. It was worn out and old, with some tail branches poking around in disorder, obviously it hadn't been properly maintained.
He lifted his foot to step on the broom, waiting for Charlie's command.
"Let's fly around the field, take off!"
Charlie led the team and started flying around the field.
After Albert took off, he found that his broom was a bit like an old bicycle. It flew very slowly, and it was not very easy to control.
However, Charlie flies neither fast nor slow, so he has no problem keeping up with the team. The only one behind in the team is Lee Jordan. After all, he has only touched a broom a few times, and he is a complete rookie. Although his level of riding a broom is considered very good among rookies, the problem is compared with Albert!
No harm without contrast!
This makes it seem that Li Qiaodan is not in the team's flight rhythm.
"Flying well."
After flying five laps around the stadium and finishing the warm-up, the others were not stingy with their praise. You must know that Albert is only a freshman in the first grade. If he can keep up with their pace, it means that his flying has a certain foundation .
Moreover, everyone has noticed that Albert flies very steadily and turns very deftly. It really doesn't look like he hasn't ridden a broom a few times.
After flying in a circle this time, it is not difficult for everyone to understand why Charlie is optimistic about Albert.
After flying around the stadium, the official players will start training, while the newcomers need to continue training their flying ability. However, this time the difficulty is slightly increased, and the two Bludgers will release Charlie from the box. The task of the Weasley twin brothers is to hold the bat and stand beside Albert's team, while flying with the team, while preventing the Bludger from attacking Albert and others.
Of course, this is actually a simple training for batters. Their task is to protect their teammates with the bat in their hands.
Of course, after the Bludger is released, everyone has to be more vigilant to avoid being hit by the Bludger. The pressure suddenly increases a lot, but as a qualified Quidditch player, adapting to these pressures is a process that must be experienced .
Fortunately, the Bludgers didn't come to trouble them often. Both George and Fred could hit the incoming Bludgers very well.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Halfway through the flight, Lee Jordan suddenly descended, and Albert, who was leading the flight in a circle, also noticed it. He lowered his body and quickly landed next to Lee Jordan.
"It's nothing, I suddenly found that I couldn't keep up with everyone's progress, and I planned to give up." Li Qiaodan could see clearly that Fred and George had been exposed to brooms very early, and they flew better than most people. Te was exposed to broomsticks at the same time as himself, but it is not without reason that this guy can be called a genius by Charlie. He has already mastered flying very skillfully after just a few times. Although Angelina is not as good at flying as the three of them, she is still flying very well, and she is also practicing hard.
What about yourself?
Lee Jordan doesn't think he's flying badly, but he knows he can't keep up with the four. He didn't forget Albert's words, a dormitory can't be full of Quidditch players... that would be hateful.
"I plan to quit." Li Qiaodan said.
"Actually!" Albert reached out and patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and said, "I never expected myself to become an official player. Do you know why I stay here?"
"Why?" Li Qiaodan asked stupidly.
"Because the game requires everyone to play together, that's interesting." Albert raised his head and smiled at the three people who descended behind him, "Just think of it as training with them, and, in fact, I really like the feeling of flying Yes, it has nothing to do with playing Quidditch."
"You should also like this feeling." Albert smiled at Li Jordan and said, "Okay, let's continue!"
"Does it feel like flying?" Lee Jordan murmured. It is undeniable that Albert is right. He really likes the feeling of flying on a broomstick, which is also one of the charms of Quidditch.
Flying practice is still going on, Albert doesn't know how long he has been flying, anyway, he started to let himself go when he flew around the fifteenth lap.
Try to make the broom fly faster and challenge to make some more difficult movements.
Unfortunately, once this broken broom flies too fast, it will start to tremble, as if it might dismember at any time.
"It seems... broken?" Albert found that even if he slowed down, the old broomstick was still shaking. Was it broken by himself?
He didn't hesitate, and quickly landed on the ground. If the broomstick is broken, falling from it is not a fun thing, and he hasn't learned the shock-absorbing spell yet.
"What's the matter." George asked puzzled.
"My broom is shaking, and it feels like it's going to break." Albert said helplessly.
"Maybe the broom is too old, and my broom will tremble when flying too high." Fred looked at George helplessly.
"Mine will be slightly to the left." George also said something about the broom.
"Not flying for the time being." Albert said, "I plan to take a look at that first."
He pointed to the book "The Origin of Quidditch" in the locker room, which was specially lent by Charlie for a few people to read. In Charlie's words, as a Quidditch fan, how could he not have read it? What about this book?
