Chapter 0049 Ye Ting's First Match and Quick Attack

_____________________________________________________________

A week after Gryffindor's victory over Slytherin, the second Quidditch match began as well.

As usual, the most watched match in the Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts tended to be Gryffindor vs Slytherin, as the match between the two rival houses is the most intense and the most interesting to watch.

This time, however, that practice was reversed.

This game was Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but the audience far exceeded the previous one. Many girls who were not originally fans of Quidditch also actively participated.

This is because this is the first Quidditch game played by Ye Ting, the recognized male god of Hogwarts.

Looking around, all the stands became a sea of almost blue and bronze, with girls holding up banners with Ye Ting's name on them. Because of Ye Ting, the Ravenclaw team received an unprecedented popularity – except for some Hufflepuff and Slytherin students, the former supporting their house and the latter out of pureblood discrimination against Muggles.

But no matter what, the Ravenclaw team members were still drenched in glory, and they proudly followed Ye Ting into the stadium, waving around constantly and ushering in cheer after cheer.

"This makes me feel like I'm attending the Quidditch World Cup." Cho Chang muttered in Ye Ting's ear and looked a bit angry – she was probably thinking: Ye Ting is mine alone, you sultry bitches, stop shouting.

The captain of Hufflepuff was the seeker, Cedric Diggory, a tall, handsome boy who is also the prefect of Hufflepuff.

Before Ye Ting entered Hogwarts, he was one of the most popular boys in the school, excelling in appearance, academics, and athletics.

Of course, in the original, Diggory also became Cho Chang's boyfriend when Harry was in his fourth year. Coincidentally, Cho Chang is now playing against him, and she is Ravenclaw's seeker, but he cannot let that plot happen again.

After Madam Hooch's whistle sounded, both teams lifted off at the same time and the game officially began.

With his superfast reflexes, Ye Ting was the first to grab the quaffle ball thrown high in the air and nimbly dodged away from the contender.

The next moment, like lightning, he instantly increased his speed to the limit, and before the Hufflepuff players could react, Ye Ting rushed into the scoring area.

Only the goalkeeper subconsciously flew forward to intercept, but it was too late.

The quaffle ball swished into the middle of the goal with the effect of inertia and arm strength.

Ye Ting turned around and left in style, leaving only a dumbfounded goalkeeper.

The rhythmic commentary of Lee Jordan came from the stands: "Beautiful fast-break – Ravenclaw scores – and the score is scored by Ravenclaw's new chaser, Ye Ting, his speed is unparalleled. I wonder why he's not a ball finder, the Hufflepuff keeper hasn't reacted yet. He must be thinking: 'What just happened? Am I still awake?' Oh! Even better, it was less than ten seconds into the game until Ravenclaw scored, which is the fastest goal I've ever seen."

The crowd in the stands immediately ignited with screams and cheers mixed with shouts of "Ye Ting" seeming to overturn the entire stadium.

Ye Ting can see Ravenclaw stands, Hermione and Penelope in the loud cheers. Harry, Ron, and Hagrid were also cheering for him, since Ye Ting saved Harry in the game, the two of them have had a favorable impression of him.

"He is so fast, we need someone to focus on him." Diggory's face was a bit ugly, as soon as Ye Ting appeared, he gave them a hard time, which caught him off guard and to change his tactics temporarily.

However, they soon learned that a single person's defense alone could not do much against a real master.

After Hufflepuff served, the quaffle ball passed on to each other among the pursuers. Hufflepuff's players were ready to draw the opponent's attention by passing the ball, thus pulling the opponent's defense apart.

Although such passing tactics are effective, there is a high requirement for the tacit understanding of the players, as such frequent passing is prone to mistakes.

Hufflepuff's players had a tacit understanding with each other, but they were not professional enough after all and were soon caught by Ye Ting.

When one of the chasers was about to pass the ball to another player, the distance between them was a little too wide due to a slight miscommunication, which left an opportunity for Ye to take advantage of.

Jordan was continuing with his commentary: "The Hufflepuff team are passing the ball to each other, searching for an opportunity to attack. Oh! They threw the ball fiercely at Ravenclaw's Ye Ting – beautiful - he just tilted his head and easily dodged the ball, what a dash. Oh! Oh, what did I see? It's been stolen, who did that? It's Ye Ting again! He just accelerated and stole Hufflepuff's quaffle ball. I've never seen such a crisp and clean steal-"

At this time, there was no need for Lee Jordan's hoarse commentary, as the little wizards in the stands gasped and everyone stared intently at the black and blue lightning.
