Chapter 189: I, Malfoy, Will Die With You Today!
Chapter 189: I, Malfoy, Will Die With You Today!
Ivan rode his broom and followed the other Gryffindor team members into the sky.
The Slytherin team was not to be outdone, and Ivan even saw Malfoy giving him the middle finger, a gesture he must have learned from someone.
"Begin!" As the two team captains released the Bludgers, the Quaffle, and the Golden Snitch, the match officially started!
As Chasers, Angelina and Alyssa took the lead, vying with the Slytherin team for the Quaffle. Harry, meanwhile, was focused on finding the Golden Snitch.
Ivan circled the field. The primary task of a Beater is to use the bat to protect their teammates from the Bludgers.
Especially the Seeker, to prevent them from being knocked off their broom and losing the chance to catch the Golden Snitch, which could end the game.
However, Ivan soon realized that if he continued to be passive, this practice match would be over before it began.
With their new brooms, the Slytherins were flying incredibly fast. The two young witches from Gryffindor, who were Chasers, were being thoroughly outmatched by the Slytherin Chasers.
Under the relentless pressure, Alyssa managed to get the Quaffle but quickly lost it to the opposing team.
Before long, the Slytherin Chasers had already scored a goal.
Frowning, Ivan was about to take action when he noticed two Slytherin Beaters suddenly swinging their bats and flying towards him, clearly with malicious intent.
Seeing the danger, Ivan quickly adjusted his broom's direction to avoid them.
The Quidditch pitch is not a battlefield; here, the use of wands and casting spells are not allowed. Ivan didn't think he could win a direct confrontation with two older, larger Slytherins.
Unfortunately, the speed advantage of the Nimbus 2001 far exceeded Ivan's expectations. It didn't take long for the two Slytherin Beaters to catch up and fly alongside him.
Then, Ivan clearly saw the two Slytherins grin malevolently and suddenly move to squeeze him from both sides.
Ivan cursed inwardly; they clearly intended to force him off his broom. He abruptly changed direction and dove downward.
The two Slytherins reacted quickly, even anticipating Ivan's move, and closed the distance, staying tightly on his flanks, leaving him no room to maneuver.
Ivan had two choices: slow down and be rammed off his broom, or crash into the ground.
In this critical moment, Ivan foresaw his fate and, with no other option, he reluctantly spent House Points to enter a state of accelerated thinking. Instantly, his control over his broom became more precise and fluid.
He tilted and dove, ignoring the gasps of the crowd. He was confident he could ascend again just above the ground.
The Wronski Feint flashed through his mind.
The Wronski Feint typically involves a Seeker making a sudden dive towards the ground to make the opposing Seeker think they have spotted the Golden Snitch, then pulling up at the last moment to cause the other Seeker to crash.
However, this tactic is usually used by Seekers in matches, as no one would risk chasing a Beater in such a manner.
However, this time was clearly an exception.
The two Slytherins were worried that Ivan was trying to trick them, but they were even more concerned that he was using this as a cover to escape their pursuit. So they didn't dare to let up. Thinking of the humiliation of being defeated earlier, they gritted their teeth and continued to chase after him.
They didn't believe that Ivan, a young wizard who hadn't undergone proper training, could perform such a high-difficulty maneuver.
As they got closer to the ground, Ivan actually sped up again. The two Slytherins regretted their decision, thinking that he was planning to take them both down with him.
With this thought, they suddenly raised their brooms to turn, but it was too late. They were heading straight for the pillar, and there was no way they could avoid crashing into it.
The same was true for Ivan.
Outside the field, Hermione, watching the scene, felt her heart leap into her throat. She couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Ivan is amazing!" Fred nodded solemnly. He believed that Ivan must have realized he couldn't escape the pursuit and chose this method to take the two Slytherin players out of the game.
Wood sighed. He should have anticipated that Ivan would be targeted by the Slytherins and shouldn't have let him play in the first place.
Although the entire playing field was enchanted to prevent accidents during matches or training, so that players wouldn't fall and die, if Ivan really crashed into the ground, he would likely have to spend a few days in the hospital.
"Look, look!" At that moment, Ron suddenly shouted excitedly.
Hermione quickly turned to look, her brown eyes wide with shock.
"This is impossible!" Wood dropped his jaw in astonishment.
Under his gaze, Ivan, who was just a few inches from the ground, forcefully turned his broom, leaning his body and skimming just above the ground, his robes almost dragging on the surface.
Wood was certain that even professional players might not be able to perform such an extreme maneuver. It was simply a miracle!
At that moment, the two chasers who had been following Ivan screamed in terror as they crashed directly into the pillar on one side.
The sound of the collision made Ivan wince in pain.
After shaking off the two chasers who had been chasing him, Ivan slowly pulled his broom up into the sky, the system prompt for the Flight Skill improvement ringing in his ears.
"Fantastic!" Fred jumped up excitedly.
Malfoy, who had been watching the scene intently, had a look of joy on his face that quickly turned to shock. Seeing that Ivan was not only unharmed but had also made a spectacular comeback, he was furious.
Without a second thought, Malfoy abandoned his plan to continue chasing Harry and look for the Golden Snitch, and angrily charged towards Ivan.
Before the match, Malfoy had already reached a silent agreement with the other Slytherin players!
They could lose the match, but Ivan must die!
The Nimbus 2001, when traveling at its top speed, was incredibly fast.
Ivan had just escaped and was rising into the air when he saw Malfoy descending from above.
Ivan gripped his broom tightly and narrowly avoided the collision, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and cursing.
"Malfoy, aren't you the Seeker? Why are you chasing me?"
"Malfoy, I will die with you today!" Malfoy shouted loudly.
