Chapter 465 Sudden Attack
The next five goals without exception all hit the goal frame, and Cormac didn't even touch the edge of the Quaffle.
The batsmen are already cheering and celebrating. They feel that they are really in great shape today!
Cormac, on the other hand, was lying on his broomstick with a dull expression on his face. He had been stunned.
Cormic rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes. He clearly saw the clear trajectory of the subsequent balls, but no matter how hard he pounced, he could not touch the balls.
Obviously, there must be nothing wrong with his eyes, and the root cause of all this is actually Hermione.
She began to secretly curse Cormic as early as when Cormic caught the fifth ball.
All it took was a simple confusion spell, and Cormac's entry test was over.
Mike, who was next to Hermione, saw all of this, but he had no intention of stopping it. Instead, he stood up and deliberately blocked Hermione's figure.
After finishing all this, Hermione retired. She put away her wand again, straightened her skirt again, and then looked at Mike beside her.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Many people in Hogwarts are saying that Hermione is the replica of Professor McGonagall when she was young, because both of them have very rigid personalities and value rules more than anything else. Many people say that, and even Even people like Harry and Ron, who spent time with Hermione, thought so.
But to Mike, Hermione is Hermione, not a replica of Professor McGonagall when she was young.
Hermione's behavior this time is the best proof.
In the previous situation, Mag would not have taken action secretly. This would have been against the rules.
But Hermione did this, which means that Hermione cares more about her friends than rules, or in other words, Hermione is willing to give up the ethics she has always insisted on for the sake of her friends.
This may be because Hermione is influenced by Harry and the others, but it is undeniable that such behavior makes Hermione more humane.
Thinking so, the expression on Mike's face became softer.
At this time, Cormac, who was still on the court, finally stopped and fell back to the ground. Now he just felt so embarrassed and wanted to leave here quickly.
His eyes became a little red from rubbing for a long time, and he looked like he was crying.
This scene made the girls in the stands suddenly overflowing with maternal love, and they all cried out Cormac's name.
Mike was a little speechless. He felt that although Hermione's wave of hype made Cormic look bad, it also gained him a group of mother fans.
But Hermione obviously hadn't realized this yet. She looked excitedly at the audience, where Ron was slowly rising on his broomstick.
Compared to other test subjects, his equipment was luxurious. Whether it was the signed version of the Irish team's protective gear that Harry lent him or the Firebolt left by George Fred, they all made him look particularly luxurious.
But the huge advantage of the equipment obviously did not give Ron much confidence. Mike could clearly see that Ron, who was riding the Firebolt, was shaking nervously.
"Oh! He's so nervous!" Hermione shouted anxiously, "He's always like this. He has a habit of getting nervous when there are many people around him!"
After saying that, Hermione raised her wand again, pulled Mike along with her and used the loud voice curse to cheer Ron on.
This huge shout reached Ron's ears easily, and he turned back stiffly to look at the stands, and gave Mike and Hermione a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Well, I think he seems more nervous when we do this."
"It seems like this," Hermione put down her wand awkwardly, "We'd better stop talking and just watch."
Ron's test finally began.
The batsmen were in a hot state, hitting the goal with high-speed shots one after another. But the strange thing was that Ron seemed to have some kind of bad luck, no matter how fast the Quaffle was. , he can easily save it from the goal.
After a few balls, Ron finally gained confidence. He was breathing heavily, his eyes kept moving along with the Quaffle, and his body no longer trembled.
This makes his kills even more deadly.
Finally, the test results came out. Ron saved a total of seven out of ten goals, temporarily ranking first among all testers!
Ron shouted excitedly, and there were sparse applause and cheers from the stands.
"This is even better than his best result in training!"
Hermione was also shouting excitedly, but Mike on the side only felt amused.
What he saw clearly just now was that although the batters acted very similar, they really let it go.
Probably for the sake of brothers George and Fred.
Mike was quick to judge.
Although he thought so, Mike still looked very happy on the surface, cheering for Ron along with Hermione.
Ten minutes later, an emotional Ron finally left the game, but the goalkeeper's test continued.
It's just that those who were tested next were obviously not interested. They all lowered their heads and looked glum.
This is not surprising. Ron has achieved such good results and has almost confirmed the identity of the goalkeeper of the regular team. The probability of them being admitted is almost zero.
Such a test was undoubtedly not exciting enough. Many spectators in the stands had already begun to leave, but Mike and Hermione did not do so - they had to wait until the test was over to celebrate with Ron and the others.
However, their attention was not focused on the test. Mike looked at Hermione with a smile and couldn't help but ask:
"Hermione, have you ever considered working at Los Santos Group after graduation?"
"Why are you suddenly talking about this issue?"
Hermione looked surprised.
Macdonald felt a little disappointed. Hermione's performance had already shown that she had never considered going to the Los Santos Group.
But he still didn't find it, and then said:
"Because I think your abilities are very good, and the Los Santos Group needs outstanding talents like you. And most importantly, I want to see you every day after graduation."
There is another important reason that Mike did not mention, and that is that Hermione is also a wizard of Muggle origin.
This is crucial, because what Mike wants to create is an organization dominated by wizards of Muggle descent.
Therefore, the blood discrimination within the Los Santos Group from top to bottom is quite serious, but this discrimination is the opposite of the outside world. People with purer blood are treated worse.
But upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Hermione's face. She lowered her head and rubbed her robe, looking very embarrassed.
After a while, Hermione suddenly raised her head as if she had made a decision, and said to Mike in a firm and apologetic tone:
"Sorry, Mike, please allow me to refuse."
"Why?"
Although he had expected this result, Mike was still very disappointed at this time.
"Because I want to work at the Ministry of Magic."
“You want to go into politics?!”
Mike's volume suddenly increased. It was because Hermione's decision was too outrageous in his opinion. With Hermione's character, the only result of joining politics was to be eaten by others, skin and bones.
However, Hermione nodded firmly.
"Sorry, I don't quite understand why you want to join politics?"
"Mike, what do you think of the current attitude of the entire wizarding society towards Muggles and even mixed-bloods?"
"It's pretty bad and it's getting worse."
Mike said without hesitation, what he said was completely true. With the return of Voldemort, the social status of all Muggle blood and even mixed blood people has continued to decline.
Voldemort's terrorist attacks on Muggle wizards were only a small part of the reason, because although the Death Eaters were targeting Mudbloods and mixed-bloods, in fact they had no ill intentions towards pure-bloods. No less than a Mudblood.
The main reason for all this is that some pure-bloods blame all the losses they suffered due to Voldemort's actions on Muggle blood and mixed-blood wizards, while some mixed-blood wizards blame all the losses on Muggle wizards. .
This is actually a very stupid logic, because the culprits for all this are obviously Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but these people all blame the Muggle wizards who were victims like them.
However, Mike was not surprised at all by the emergence of this phenomenon, because history has already proven that before disaster strikes, there will always be such clowns popping up.
And the actions of these clowns also made it easier for him to unite Muggle wizards. In a sense, Mike had to thank them.
"I think this phenomenon is wrong. People should not be divided into three, six or nine grades just because of their bloodline!"
Hermione said firmly.
"So you go into politics because you want to..."
"Yes, I want to change all this!" Hermione said excitedly with a blushing face. "And the only shortcut to achieve this goal with my own strength is to join politics! I will slowly pass laws to change this. everything."
"But the current situation in the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China is not optimistic."
"Are you referring to Voldemort?" Hermione said, "I believe Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will definitely deal with him, well, I firmly believe it!"
"What if Voldemort wins in the end?"
"This..." Hermione was silent. She seemed to have never considered this issue. After a while, she slowly said, "Then I will leave the country and go to the French Ministry of Magic or the American Ministry of Magic. In short, my determination It will not change and I will regard this as my lifelong career!"
Hermione's eyes were red as she spoke, as if she was moved by what she said.
But Mike shook his head insignificantly. In his opinion, Hermione's speech just now was completely the fearless speech of a newborn calf.
Courage is admirable, but there is no value in listening.
Hermione was still too young and had too little experience.
This makes her look at things from a very shallow perspective, and she is often unaware of the true appearance of things.
Not to mention whether she can withstand the test of people's hearts and the pressure of ancient pure-blood families after becoming a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic.
But she would never be able to become a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic, especially in China.
You must know that the Ministry of Magic of the United States is the headquarters of pure-blood nobles, and none of the senior officials inside are of Muggle origin.
And the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China also has strong sexism (don’t be surprised, the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China is very sexist, as can be seen from the "Magic Brothers Fountain"). But compared to the treatment of women in the feudal society of mankind, In terms of oppression, female equality within wizarding society is pretty good, but this is actually based on the fact that witches also have strong individual strength.), so it is no longer a nightmare for Hermione to achieve this ideal. level, but Genesis level!
Mike sighed. He was no longer prepared to continue communicating with Hermione on this topic. No matter what a young man of this age said, it would be useless.
But just when he was about to change the topic, he felt a tingling sensation between his eyebrows for no apparent reason.
Mike was startled. He instinctively turned his head to look at the Quidditch pitch, and then he saw a Quaffle zooming in his field of vision!
"ha!"
Mike let out a loud shout, and then a powerful magic burst out from his body!
This powerful magic formed an unmatched repulsive force at the moment it left the body, pushing Hermione aside in just an instant. At the same time, the Quaffle also collided with this repulsive force. Together!
"Hey!"
An indescribable sound came out.
The speed of the high-speed rotating Quaffle dropped slightly due to the repulsive force, but the repulsive force was obviously not enough to stop it.
Moreover, Mike was surprised to find that a strange black light was flashing on the Quaffle at this time. This light gave Mike a very bad feeling.
Mike's hunch was right, because the next moment the black light erupted, and the Quaffle also accelerated violently, hitting Mike's head faster than before!
The players on the field couldn't help but exclaimed. If he was hit directly by the Quaffle with a speed comparable to a bullet, Mike's head would probably explode into a ball of paste like a rotten tomato!
Fortunately, due to the previous repulsion, Mike finally completed the deployment of magic power before the Quaffle hit him, and raised his hand to block himself!
Veins popped up on Mike's forehead, his eyes were red, and he yelled with all his strength:
"Everything is destroyed!"
The next moment, a ball of pitch-black demonic flames spurted out from the palm of his hand and hit the Quaffle!
"Woo!~"
A strange whistle sounded, and the black light on the demonic flames swelled up the moment it came into contact with the Quaffle. The intensity of this terrifying black light was beyond Mike's expectation. It actually carried the pitch black light with all its strength. The demon-devouring effect carried by Li Huo hit Mike!
Although it was only for a moment, a black spot instantly appeared where Mike's palm was touched by the black light.
At this time, the Quaffle, which is the carrier of the black light, has already been completely vaporized by the high temperature of the fire, but the black light is still expanding, and it is still trying to inflict greater harm to Mike!
Seeing this, Mike's bloodshot eyes narrowed...
