Chapter 513: The Golden Falcon and the Roaming Ball
From the start of the match, the Quidditch stadium had been bustling with excitement, filled with spectators waving colorful flags and cheering non-stop.
Looking down from the spectator stands, one would see that the original Quidditch field had been divided into three equal-sized areas.
There were no walls or barriers between the sections, yet they remained distinct and separate from each other, as if by magic.
However, at this moment, a strange scene unfolded on the field.
On Krum's side, it was a lively scene with five identical Spirit Cats chasing him around, attracting countless gazes.
Fengrong's side was equally captivating. She seemed to be performing a peculiar dance, gracefully circling around the Spirit Cat, which showed no signs of attacking her. Occasionally, Fengrong would reach out to try and grab the Golden Key from the cat's neck, and each time, the cat would jump aside and assume an attacking stance.
But when Fengrong resumed her strange dance, the cat would calm down again.
Some spectators noticed that the Spirit Cat's reactions were slowing down. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Fengrong obtained the key.
Although not as lively as the neighboring area, the peculiar dance was quite interesting, and many people kept their eyes fixed on this side of the field.
The only quiet area was Kyle's section, where he and the Spirit Cat were lying face-to-face on the ground, as if they had been hit by a Petrification Charm.
Because of this, what had initially been the center of attention had now become almost completely ignored.
"What on earth is Kyle doing!" Fred put down the flag he was holding, which read "Support Kyle, Hogwarts Champion," and rubbed his slightly sore arm.
"Can Spirit Cats cast Petrification Charms?" George asked.
"No, they can't!"
Cedric shook his head. "Spirit Cats are famous for their splitting ability, but they don't know any other magic.
A few years ago, during that magical creature smuggling incident, my father complained one night after drinking that they had a hard time capturing all three Spirit Cats. I specifically looked into this magical creature, so I remember it clearly."
"Then what is he doing?" George asked.
Cedric shook his head again. "I don't know. Kyle must have his own plan."
On the far right, there was a row of golden chairs at the front, reserved for the judges.
Madame Maxime leaned back slightly and asked in a low voice, "What is he doing?"
"I'm not sure either," Professor Lockner, who was sitting behind her, replied. "That boy is close to Scamander, so he must have some special method."
"Do you mean he knows how to calm Spirit Cats?" Madame Maxime frowned.
This was her biggest concern because it would eliminate Beauxbatons' advantage.
"Perhaps," Professor Lockner paused, glancing at Dumbledore before continuing as if in casual conversation, "Mr. Scamander is an outstanding magical creature master. I might only be a little more comprehensive than him in my research on Spirit Cats, but in other aspects, I can't compare.
It's a shame he couldn't make it today."
Madame Maxime nodded, understanding his implication.
Although Professor Lockner only surpassed Scamander in his research on Spirit Cats, that was enough, especially since they were specifically comparing expertise in Spirit Cats.
Although it was a bit disappointing that they couldn't stop the other two champions in the first round, at least Fengrong would have an advantage in the subsequent rounds.
"Ah, look!"
At this moment, a surprised exclamation snapped Madame Maxime back to attention, and she instinctively looked towards the field.
She then smiled with satisfaction as she saw Fengrong had successfully obtained the Golden Key from the Spirit Cat's neck and was now running towards the door.
"Oh!" Another exclamation followed.
Madame Maxime initially thought something had happened on Krum's side, but upon closer inspection, she realized he was using a Transformation Charm to divert the Spirit Cat's attention.
Although the transformation was impressive, it didn't quite warrant the level of excitement and applause it received.
Unconsciously, her gaze shifted to the area where Kyle was.
"What?!" The next moment, Maxime suddenly stood up from his seat.
Kyle, who had been lying on the ground as if petrified, suddenly moved.
Without any warning, he pounced forward. This move not only caught the audience off guard but even seemed to surprise the Spirit Cat.
Under everyone's attention, Kyle quickly grabbed the Golden Key from the cat's neck, as simple as taking a baked potato from a plate.
Compared to Krum, who was chased around the field by the Spirit Cat, his clothes torn to shreds... Many people couldn't help but scratch their heads in confusion.
The tasks they were performing seemed to be the same, but the gap between them was just too big.
On the other side of the field, Kyle, having obtained the Golden Key, whispered, "Now you chase me, and that will also count as completing the task."
"And the Bearded Sea Mackerel. I'll place it by the woods when the sun sets, behind the third tree from the hut. You'd better hurry, or the Kneazles might get to it first."
After saying this, Kyle took off running, and the Spirit Cat leaped, chasing him desperately.
Kyle increased his speed, and the Spirit Cat chased even faster... The distance between them remained a few inches.
