[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

Knowing nothing about what happened on the side of the field, Kong Yun was standing in front of Truman, listening to the Hufflepuff prefect and Quidditch captain explain the props and rules about Quidditch.

Truman held the box he had specially moved and placed it in front of the three of them. There were also three sweeping six-stars beside them. Compared with Nimbus 2000 and Sweeping Seven Stars, its performance is quite different, but due to its relatively cheap price, it is already the most popular among Hufflepuff teams.

"By the way, Yun, do you know the rules of Quidditch?" Cedric asked before formally introducing the props in the box.

Kong Yun nodded.

Although he has not directly read books about Quidditch, in the various books he has read in the past month, there are more or less references to this sport that is popular in the wizarding world, such as "Hogwarts, a piece of The birth and naming of Quidditch is mentioned in "School History", and his two roommates are also out-and-out Quidditch fans.

To put it simply, there are two ways to score in Quidditch: one is to pass and throw the Quaffle, making it pass through the ring in the air, and each hit is worth ten points.Second, the team that successfully catches the Golden Snitch will get an extra 150 points.

In addition, there are two Bludgers in the game. The Bludgers will keep flying around in the air, trying to knock the little wizards off their broomsticks, while the batter is responsible for protecting his own side. player, and hit the Bludger towards the opponent to achieve the effect of disrupting the opponent.

The last goalkeeper is responsible for guarding the goal.

Very... strange movement.

Let's say it's like football, but football is forbidden to touch the ball except for the goalkeeper, but the chaser has to pass the Quaffle with his hands.It looks like a basketball, but the way you hit a Bludger with a wooden bat is reminiscent of baseball.

After confirming that Kong Yun really understood the basic rules of Quidditch, Truman opened the box and began to show him the props one by one:

"Look, the red one is the Quaffle, the two black ones are the Bludgers, and this—" He pointed to one of the golden flying balls the size of a walnut, and said solemnly: "This is the Golden Snitch. , is also the ball that can determine the outcome of the game the most.”

Considering that Kong Yun knew enough about Quidditch before, and they didn't stay in the basic teaching for too long, Truman only took out the props one by one and gave him a unified recognition, and it was over.

"Generally speaking, the positions of the team are divided into four positions: hitter, seeker, goalkeeper and chaser. I am the hitter," he paused, pointing to the plug with his chin Derek: "Sed is the Seeker."

"If you don't have any particular preferred position, I suggest you try each of them, and we can see which position is more suitable for you." Cedric added.

The first they try is the batter.

Truman asked Kong Yun to ride Sweeping Six Stars first, and tried to hover around the high ring.According to him, the pillars were about fifty feet high—that is, fifteen meters in height.Any Quidditch player must complete more and more difficult operations on the basis of getting used to this height.

Without more instructions and help, he easily flew to such a height.

Mrs. Huo Qi taught them how to fly in detail in the flying class. Kong Yun is familiar with it. For most human beings, flying in the sky is a very enjoyable thing.

Kong Yun is no exception.

He slowly circled around several circles of the court, the breeze was warm, and it brought a slight itchiness when it brushed against his face.Occasionally, when walking with the wind or against the wind, there is a feeling of spreading wings and breaking away from all shackles, as if the whole person becomes lighter.

"The foundation is good." Cedric praised, and then he bent down and took out two black Bludgers. The two Bludgers were struggling in his hands to break free. He raised his head and faced the sky Kong Yun reminded: "Attention, Yun, I'm going to release the Bludgers below—they will do everything possible to knock you off the broom."

Kong Yun concealed his eagerness to try and nodded.

He took out a wooden bat from his pocket, which is a prop used by batters to hit Bludgers to protect their teammates and affect opposing players.

As they said this, Truman also got on the broom, and as a batsman, he decided to test for himself whether Kong Yun had the qualifications to be a batsman.

After confirming that both of them flew into the sky, Cedric let go of his hand and threw the two Bludgers upwards vigorously!

Accompanied by his movements, the Bludger who had regained his freedom immediately became excited, like a mad dog that had finally lost its shackles, with a strong air current, swishing, one left and one right, rushed towards the two respectively!

The speed of the Bludger is very fast, but Truman has played many Quidditch Cup matches for Hufflepuff anyway. He calmly controlled the broomstick, gave way to the side, and then quickly raised the broomstick. He picked up the wooden stick in his hand and hit it hard——

The Bludger that was hit violently was immediately forced to change its flight trajectory, turned around, and flew towards Kong Yun's direction!

Until the Bludger hit it, Kong Yun was still circling around the three pillars in a leisurely manner.

Unlike Truman, who roamed at high speed, Kong Yun always controlled his speed within a moderate range. When many onlookers were wondering if this Hufflepuff was not very good at flying, the first Hufflepuff The ball has arrived!

Maybe it was determined to kick the human on the broom, but the bludger chose a very tricky angle, and immediately hit his right hand holding the wooden stick!

Kong Yun did not deliberately dodge like Truman did.

His flying speed is still slow, as if he is just enjoying the fun of flying slowly on the court at the moment. One person and one ball are about to hit each other, but Kong Yun just slightly sinks his right hand, and his wrist pulls the wooden stick upwards. A pick!

The Bludger that Truman changed direction came at this time——

Almost at the same moment when Kong Yun hit the first ball, the second Bludger came whistling with heavy wind noise, without giving anyone a chance to react!

Just when many people thought that Kong Yun might be shot down, the latter quickly completed the exchange of left and right hands: the wooden stick was changed from the right hand to the left hand, and the left hand holding the broom was also replaced by the right hand.

The whole process is completed in less than a second.

This sudden movement of letting go made the broom and the person tend to lose their balance and fall back, but it was also this sudden movement that made the menacing Bludger go straight into the air. At the same time, Kong Yun lifted With his left hand, he drove the wooden stick and dunked the Bludger to the ground!

This tense and exciting moment caused the screams of the girls on the ground and the applause of the boys. Cedric's eyes lit up even more, and more expectations emerged in his eyes.

At the same time, above the sky, the situation of the two suddenly reversed!

Kong Yun's counterattack seemed random, but in fact he controlled the force firmly. Originally, the two Bludgers were positioned one behind the other, but with the force he deliberately exerted, and the one pick and one dunk Under the motion control, the two Bludgers collided in the direction of Truman in completely different directions, but at exactly the same time!

Although the latter responded in a timely manner, of the two Bludgers, one swooped down from the sky and the other chased from the bottom up. He controlled the side of the broom to avoid the one below, but the one above could only He lowered his head in embarrassment, and passed by dangerously and dangerously, almost being shot down.

"Believe me, Kong, you will definitely become the best batsman at Hogwarts!" Truman was almost knocked down by his juniors in full view, but Truman was not at all embarrassed. As soon as he got off the broom, he walked quickly Walking up to Kong Yun, he hooked his shoulder excitedly: "How did you manage to react so quickly?"

No, if you have learned hand-to-hand combat since childhood, you can also be so fast.

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't really explain it that way: "Maybe I paid more attention to this aspect of practice since I was a child." He turned his head and looked at Cedric on the side: "Do we still need to test other positions? "

Truman seemed desperate to make him Hufflepuff batsman right away, but Cedric insisted: "I think we can try every position." He added earnestly and expectantly: "I thought, maybe the cloud can bring us more surprises?"

Three 10 minutes later.

On the stand closest to the stadium, Elena held her chin and praised Hermione No. 11 times: "Quidditch is really great, isn't it, Hermione?"

Hermione was very skeptical whether Elena was talking about Quidditch or the person on the field, but...she raised her head, her eyes shifted from the boy's black robe fluttering in the wind to the serious and focused On his face, there was a downward dive, which stopped abruptly when he was close to the ground, and his graceful fall back made him look particularly energetic.

This made Miss Gryffindor Know-it-All desperately discover that at least at this moment, she didn't want to refute Elena's words at all.

If girls look at faces, then boys look at technical issues.

"Well, Yun, now you have brought us a big problem." Truman said in a very worried tone, but anyone could see that the face of Hufflepuff prefect was really happy at the moment : "You can play almost any position in the game of Quidditch—"

"Why don't we let Yun choose by himself." Cedric suggested, "Yun, do you have a favorite position?"

"It would be nice if you could become several people." Truman interjected jokingly, "Then I don't have to worry about the selection of the team anymore."

Under the expectant eyes of the two, Kong Yun only hesitated for a while before making a choice: "I might prefer the batter." He smiled with crooked eyebrows: "That's very interesting."

"This can't be better!" Truman said happily: "You know, the Gryffindor twins are so annoying, I always wanted a partner to accompany me to deal with them!"

When the little badgers were happily discussing how to arrange the weekly training time so as to achieve good results in this year's Quidditch Cup, Draco in the stands was a little bit itchy to see Li Xinxi up.

As the best Seeker (self-proclaimed) at Hogwarts, Draco actually didn't think about joining the Quidditch team at all. After all, he had more things to do-even after learning that Harry Leigh Porter was still admitted as a player by Gryffindor early, but it didn't change his mind.

Originally, he just came here with the idea of ​​killing time and looking at it casually, but it turned out that he subtly remembered the resentment that he couldn't enter the Slytherin Quidditch team in advance because of his age.

Sure enough, the first grade is still the most troublesome.

Due to the limited number of students from other colleges in the stands that day, this special Quidditch training did not cause much splash at Hogwarts, and the little badgers who always love to gossip did not share the slightest bit of "Our college has a wonderful hitter" means the message.

Although there were many Ravenclaws and Gryffindor students who happened to witness Kong Yun's performance, most of them didn't take this news seriously.

In this regard, Truman, who wanted to turn Kong Yun into a secret weapon, was very happy to hear it.

After dinner in the evening, Kong Yun unexpectedly received a late package from his second brother Kong Yan——

The outer packaging was opened layer by layer, revealing a well-made broomstick.There is no need to look for the words engraved on the broomstick. Kong Yun, who has just read "The Complete Book of Flying Broomsticks", can easily call out its name.

Nimbus 2000, similar in performance to Sweeping Seven Stars, is said to be the best broomstick of this generation.

Eh?

Never expecting to receive such a gift, Kong Yun was almost surprised to see the beautifully lined and elegantly shaped gift in his hand.How did the second brother know that he needed a broom?

Confusion turned into confusion, and Kong Yun was very happy to receive a surprise by accident. At least this shows to a certain extent that even after arriving in the UK, the second brother's concern for him has never diminished.

With a happy and relaxed mood, Kong Yun carefully put away the Nimbus 2000.He turned around, and just as he was about to climb into bed to sleep, he saw the little milk cat that was already clustered there by the head of the bed.

"..." Kong Yun said blankly, "Come down."

Tuan Tuan: QAQ

Kong Yun raised his eyebrows, folded his hands on his shoulders, and said very ruthlessly: "How many times have I said, you are not allowed to go out in the middle of the night to fool around with dubious people, ignore my words, and still want to fuck with me?" bed? Get off! I'll count one, two, three—"
