Chapter 141: Krypton Gold Player
The matter of the witch named Jorkins did not enter Lu Yunkai's consideration again. As Chris said, those who failed in the struggle and quit are often more unscrupulous than those who won, because they do not care about so-called decency.
If the witch was really cast into the oblivion spell because she knew some unspeakable secret of Barty Crouch, it would be a very dangerous thing to help her.
At least, she or anyone else must not guess that it was done by herself.
However, Lu Yunkai still sympathized with her. A witch with strong ability, straightforward speech, and bad popularity really made it difficult for Lu Yunkai not to think of the freckled girl who always tried to compete with him in class... Well, Hermione no longer has freckles on her face now.
If there is a chance to completely avoid exposing himself, Lu Yunkai actually doesn't mind helping her... But he feels that there seems to be no such opportunity.
I met Daphne there twice during my holidays at Hogwarts. Although the witch was forgetful, her brain was not necessarily completely broken. She probably guessed that Daphne was most likely a student of Hogwarts (Lu Yunkai used Hermione's standard to infer), but she just used the magic or magic items of the Confusion Charm.
If I and Daphne appeared there again next time, we would be exposed soon.
Fortunately, I didn't go to Hogsmeade this week!
Lu Yunkai felt lucky.
However, he still felt that it would be better if this luck could be used to open the Room of Requirement.
Lu Yunkai's map-making spell search plan continued, but it continued to return in vain.
Lu Yunkai even found that he had probably gone through all the models of the Room of Requirement, but he still didn't see the room that Sirius said.
Time slipped from winter to spring.
Finally, after another day of "crazy shopping" because of depression, Lu Yunkai emptied out the once huge room filled with tens of thousands of old furniture and other things.
Sitting on the floor in the empty hall, Lu Yunkai was overwhelmed with frustration.
And today, Chris was also beside him.
She clapped her cat paws crazily.
"Meow!! Congratulations! You actually emptied such a large hall!!"
This didn't sound good.
"What's there to congratulate? All together, I sold less than 500,000 gold galleons."
Lu Yunkai looked at his system balance and sighed.
It was all some old furniture and other things. It looked big and took up a lot of space, but the recycling price of the system was not high. Lu Yunkai didn't dare to sell the only valuable thing... tangled.
"Since you have cleared such a large hall, you can use it for many things in the future! For example, practice spells or something..."
"If I want to practice spells, why don't I go directly to the special practice room with magic dolls? There is everything in that room." Lu Yunkai said to a room in the Room of Requirement that he had mistakenly entered before.
"Meow." Chris agreed with this.
"Okay, let's go! I'm the captain of the Quidditch match today, and I can't be late." Lu Yunkai forced himself to stand up.
"Meow, what are you going to do? With your team, can you still win?" Chris looked disdainful, "It used to be that we couldn't win the championship even if we practiced twice a week, and now you have cut it to every Monday, I'm afraid we will definitely be at the bottom."
"That's not necessarily true." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "The training time is shorter, but the intensity is higher! And I think everyone is quite passionate about the game..."
"Can you win if you are passionate?"
"Attitude determines everything!!" Lu Yunkai snorted and walked out of the Room of Requirement.
We went downstairs and arrived at the Quidditch field. Some students who had nothing to do had gathered here in groups of three or four, waiting for the game to start.
Today's game was between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. If it was a year ago, this game should not have much suspense, and Slytherin would have won. However, since Lu Yunkai took over the team and changed to practice every Monday, almost all Quidditch teams think that Slytherin is now a soft persimmon...
"Well, you guys are the first to come, so change your clothes and play the game!"
Lu Yunkai smiled and said to the players who arrived at the field earlier than him.
Those players were stunned.
"...Captain, we are usually...substitutes!!"
"Except for the few seventh graders who can't come, who dares to say that they have the absolute strength to be the main force?" Lu Yunkai looked at the few people in front of him with a smile, one of whom was even a second-year student, "How many people in the team have won the Quidditch Cup now?"
"But..."
"It just so happens that you have a goalkeeper...well, no seeker! It's a bit troublesome." Lu Yunkai touched his chin.
In fact, even if there is a seeker, Lu Yunkai thinks he still intends to leave this position to Malfoy.
This team needs a scapegoat, and Lu Yunkai can't find a more suitable classmate in the current team than his classmate: extremely strong mentally, indomitable, not afraid of being scolded, and always able to maintain the kind of arrogance that belongs to Slytherin...
This is not to insult Malfoy, Lu Yunkai puts himself in his shoes, but he feels that he really can't do it.
Anyway, Lu Yunkai treats the remaining few games this year as adjustment practice games. Winning or losing is not important. The most important thing is to play the style of this team under his leadership.
What style?
A proud temperament.
We rely on talent to make a living, and we just want to win. My loss could be because it’s raining, the field is too slippery, the lawn is too dry...ahem, any number of reasons, but we win because of our blood and talent.
Therefore, we do not conduct heavy exercise training. Anyone who thinks they "love this sport" can invite friends and "play" with them outside of training, but this is not our training.
Our talents do not require this kind of training…
Translation: If you don’t want to lose, hide and train secretly, and then when you stand up, don’t say that your skills are the result of practice.
The reason why Lu Yunkai chose such a path was because he came up with it after watching Malfoy for more than two years.
There are few people in the entire Slytherin who are more self-righteous than this kid. But Lu Yunkai also saw how he often got injuries all over his body during training because he didn't want to lose to Harry, and then he had to pretend to be the Malfoy family, even in front of Goyle and Crabbe, and didn't show it at all. (Only the matter of asking Lu Yunkai to help with the wound medicine was something I really couldn’t hide).
Do you want to save face and suffer the consequences?
Lu Yunkai felt that this was the core of Slytherin's "aristocratic respectability" that could not be told to outsiders.
During this time, he discovered that his set of things was really useful.
Slytherins who were not particularly interested in Quidditch originally seemed to like to "play" Quidditch in twos and threes in their spare time.
After all, no one really wants to admit that their talents and bloodline are inferior to others. This person is a member of the family!
It was precisely because of this situation that Flint, who had been worried after handing the team over to Lu Yunkai, was completely relieved.
"You are indeed the captain I chose!"
The second time he said this, the affirmation seemed even more rare.
And today, it seems that it is time to see the truth.
But none of the people present expected that Lu Yunkai would use this method to select players.
"You came so early, you must be eager to fight!" Lu Yunkai looked at the team members who were a little confused about his decision, and said cheerfully, "As the captain, of course I have to fulfill your request! Is there any one of you? Did you come so early just to cheer up your teammates and pat them on the shoulder and say, "Come on, I'll leave this to you?"
Lu Yunkai's words made several people speechless.
"Come on! Believe in yourself! We are Slytherin!" Lu Yun laughed. "Don't worry, when you have enough performances on the court, we will have many substitute players! Now in the entire Hogwarts, there is no team There are more players than us.”
This sentence is also very artistic.
Enough of the show? In fact, I just can’t move anymore...
The meaning is also very obvious, just try your best.
Hearing this, these players who came early, but actually wanted to play a little bit, finally got energetic.
Just kidding, in the first game of the new captain, he needs to earn a good performance. Then in the next few years, maybe he will be the main player in Quidditch? ?
This is so attractive to girls! Why do you still want so much? Fight!
…
"Lu Yunkai! Lu Yunkai! Lu Yunkai!"
"...Why are you calling my name? I'm not the protagonist!"
That night, in the Slytherin common room.
Lu Yunkai was carried by several people.
And all around him, there were smiling faces.
"Didn't you go up and block a ball in the end?"
"That's right! And the tactics you devised are great!"
"What tactic...it's really a coincidence..." Lu Yunkai smiled awkwardly.
It's not like he's being humble. In the game just now, Lu Yunkai took advantage of a rule of the Hogwarts Quidditch game: there is no limit on the number and time of substitutions, and he sent all the players on the team up and played them over.
In fact, he just wanted to see if the basic skills of this group of people were good, so except for Malfoy, the only seeker now, he didn't have any concept of exchange of positions. Anyway, he just wanted to see who was a little embarrassed. Replace them and replace them with new ones.
Even the goalie is out of position.
But in the eyes of Hufflepuffs, this is just a hooliganism.
Throw away all the established tactics, formations and filling in positions, etc., and we will compete with you in speed and endurance. Just rush up and do it!
Did you score points with a complete set of tactics? It doesn't matter, we will just fight back at you.
Interrupted? Let's get it back personally!
Speaking of endurance, the Hufflepuff team, which has been training very hard, is definitely stronger than any other team, but when it comes to speed...
Slytherin has money and good equipment! !
In addition, because I have been playing a lot recently, several friends who play well with each other often play some small coordination that is purely wild (for example, Crabbe and Goyle played a set of redundant two-player games together. (passed 1).
Really beat the old master to death with random punches.
But in this game, you can't say that Lu Yunkai lost his Slytherin appearance: throughout the game, no Slytherin showed a very embarrassed state. Everyone was flying easily and gracefully, and they were a little tired. , will be replaced, and no one was injured in the whole game.
As for this tactic, the Hufflepuffs couldn't say anything at all.
The Quidditch rules formulated by Hogwarts that do not limit the number of substitutions have been designed from the beginning to allow more school students to participate in the game and enjoy the fun of Quidditch...
Lu Yunkai asked all the boys from grades three to six in Slytherin to go on the field and fly around. Regardless of whether they scored or not, or even touched the ball or not, they all enjoyed the game (actually, they just enjoyed it) The pleasure of Nimbus 2000 crushing the opponent in terms of speed), this is the original intention of the Hogwarts Quidditch game!
Lu Yunkai looked at the excited crowd with a lingering smile on his face.
At this moment, he truly understood why the gangster in the beer hall liked football so much...
It turns out that this is what it feels like to win!
Don't tell me, it's great.
It's just that he just can't bear it anymore.
"Everyone, please let me go!"
Finally, the celebrating crowd began to disperse, in twos and threes, commemorating their wonderful performance in today's game, or bragging in front of female classmates how "relaxed and freehand" they were at that time...
Lu Yunkai was finally free and sat back in his exclusive seat.
"Brother-in-law, I really didn't realize that besides lying to my sister, you are actually quite capable." Astoria, who had been waiting there for a long time, made a complaint to Lu Yun with a smile.
"What are you shouting for!" Daphne, who was looking at Lu Yunkai with a smile, rolled her eyes at her sister.
Didn't take action.
In fact, at this time, she didn't mind Lu Yunkai being called that.
"Oh! It's not important!" Astoria was still smiling. ,
"The clouds are opening!" From the side, Malfoy also came over.
He had a huge smile on his face.
Because they were fooled by Lu Yunkai's chaotic tactics, Hufflepuff's Seeker was obviously out of shape, but he actually found an opportunity and snatched the Golden Snitch.
So he couldn't be happier now.
"What, is something wrong?" Lu Yun asked jokingly.
"There is a Quidditch World Cup this summer, you know that, right?"
"...I'm not sure." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "I've never been particularly interested in this..."
"Not interested yet?" Malfoy asked with a smile.
"...Is it okay?" Lu Yunkai scratched his head, "Why are you talking about this?"
"Want to watch the Quidditch World Cup final together?"
"this……"
"It's settled! Those tickets are hard to get...but I'll let my dad find a way to get it!"
"...Okay!"
Hearing what Malfoy said, Lu Yunkai could only smile and nod.
"No need for you! Our family can also get tickets!" Astoria was a little unhappy with Malfoy's behavior.
“I can get a minister’s box at home!”
“My family can do it too!!”
"...Okay, since we can get it, let's go see it together then!" Lu Yunkai could only make peace.
"Hmph!" Astoria raised her head and ran away.
"This little girl has such a bad character!" Malfoy snorted, "As long as there is Daphne... ahem, I'll just stop talking!"
When Malfoy saw Daphne looking at him with a look that wanted to kill him when he was scolding Astoria, he ran away decisively.
