Chapter 34: Total Suppression

After making up his mind, Alaric, holding the Quaffle in one hand, didn't waste time on probing and went straight into action.

His initial strategy was the same as Roger's in the previous round—directing his flight towards the opponent.

It seemed like he wanted to rely on his physical prowess to overpower Roger, replicating the success of the previous round.

However, unlike before, this time he didn't fly too fast.

At this speed, whether he chose to make a sudden change in direction or perform high-difficulty maneuvers, it was much easier than at higher speeds. However, from Roger's perspective, facing an opponent at this speed allowed him to make judgments on whether to dodge or let Alaric pass and then catch up.

At this speed, Alaric couldn't fully utilize his speed and strength advantages.

Seeing this situation, Roger was overjoyed.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that young people couldn't handle provocation. With just a sarcastic remark from him, Alaric immediately abandoned his advantage and decided to compete in skills. This time, Roger was definitely going to win.

So, he began to carefully observe Alaric's movements, ready to react at any moment.

Seeing this situation, the Quidditch players and knowledgeable spectators around couldn't help but sigh. It was a pity that Alaric gave up his advantage and wasted his skills.

As the distance between the two continued to close, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

As they watched the distance between the two shrink to just a few meters, Alaric finally made a move. He pulled the broomstick to the left, attempting to pass the opponent with a sudden change in direction and go around Roger before he could react.

However, the experienced Roger was well-prepared. From the moment Alaric prepared for the change in direction and turned his waist, Roger accurately predicted his next move.

So, he immediately responded—turning right decisively, his movements were swift, even faster than Alaric himself.

That way, he had the initiative in his hands.

As for the next step, whether he chose to block Alaric's flight path or cut in from the side when Alaric flew past to snatch the Quaffle, it depended on Alaric's next decision.

This goal was his.

Roger felt secretly happy, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

But in the next moment, he realized he was wrong.

Alaric's change in direction was just a feint.

His left turn was only halfway executed when he unexpectedly violated the common sense of the human body, forcefully twisting in the opposite direction, turning the broomstick from a left turn to a right turn in a short period.

But facing this move, Roger didn't react, or rather, his reflexes and physical abilities didn't allow him to react.

So, he was deceived by this feint and could only watch as his opponent passed by him.

When he could turn around and chase, it was already too late.

With ease, Alaric once again threw the ball into the goal.

2:0

Screams immediately echoed throughout the stadium.

Everyone felt that their perspectives had been completely overturned by Alaric this morning.

Alaric, this man, recognized as the heartthrob of Hogwarts girls, time and time again challenged their common sense.

Everyone's impression of him went from an underestimated newcomer to a really talented guy with an exceptional speed, then to a player with strong physical strength, and now he defeated Roger, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, on a skill level.

Can one person's talent be this strong?

But no matter what, whether male or female, whether ordinary spectators or Quidditch players, everyone cheered for Alaric.

They felt that they had witnessed the rise of a legend.

These Ravenclaw wizards were already looking forward to the upcoming Quidditch Cup.

Ravenclaw has not won the Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts for several years in a row. They believe that with Alaric in the team, everything will change.

As for Roger, he had lost confidence in himself after being repeatedly defeated by Alaric.

Originally, he just wanted to educate the newcomer, but instead, the newcomer educated him comprehensively.

In terms of speed, physical strength, or skills, he was inferior, making him wonder if he was dreaming right now.

He really wanted to be woken up by his roommates immediately, but unfortunately, this was reality.

But Roger, being the captain of the team, quickly regained his confidence, preparing to use his own skills to score in the next play and save the game.

After all, compared to offense, defense requires higher expertise.

Apparently, Alaric was completely new in this regard, providing him an opportunity.

However, his good idea was met with cruel reality.

In the next round, facing Roger's attack, Alaric appeared remarkably mature and experienced. He didn't rush to intercept Roger directly or engage in flashy pursuits.

When Roger skillfully broke through his defense from an unexpected angle, Alaric remained calm. 

As Roger passed by him from the blind spot, he quickly made a 180-degree turn with the broomstick, then, leveraging his speed advantage, caught up with Roger from behind and overtook him. Simultaneously, he casually caught the Quaffle with a light swing of his arm.

This move once again stirred applause and cheers from the audience, but it was not as enthusiastic as the last time— not because his performance was subpar, but because everyone was numb to his extraordinary displays.
