From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 54 Ivy's Training Plan

Because of the maritime climate of the Scottish Highlands, the Quidditch field in November is covered with thick snow.

Fortunately, Quidditch is a sport played in the air, so all it needs is an unobstructed sky, and Ivy's training for the Slytherin Quidditch team can begin smoothly.

Like all teams, the Slytherin Quidditch team has a total of seven people. The difference is that this team seems to pay more attention to physique when selecting players. The captain and chaser is Marcus Flint, a fifth-year student, whom Ivy calls Troll No. 1.

Then there was that same fifth year student, Chaser Drian Puse, Troll number two.

C. Warrington, a fourth-year student who is a year younger than them but is no less physically fit than them, is also a Chaser, Troll No. 3.

Next are the batsmen, Derek and Boll. They appear to be half-brothers of forest trolls, both third-year students. Unlike the previous troll No. 3, they have more luxuriant hair, so they can be classified as forest trolls. They are also trolls No. 4 and No. 5 in Ivy's cognition.

Miles Black, who is also a third-grade student, serves as the goalkeeper. Although he is two years younger than Troll No. 1, he is physically bigger and is just one step away from covering all three hoops with his body. Troll No. 6.

Finally, it was sixth grader Terrence Higgs, who was the only one who looked like a normal person in the whole team, so he was appointed as the seeker. However, since the first six were all trolls, Ivy gave him the title of Troll No. 7 to prevent him from feeling excluded.

To prevent confusion, let's review now. Trolls one to three are seekers, responsible for scoring with the Quaffle; Trolls four and five are hitters, responsible for acting as meat shields and creating flying opponents; Troll six is the goalkeeper, and Troll seven is the seeker. It's clear and concise.

As for Ivey's position on this team?
He is a coach.

Looking at the seven giant monsters who were facing a formidable enemy, Ivy said, "Very good, gentlemen giant monsters..."

Ivy paused for a moment, hoping that someone would stand up and act as a troublemaker so that he could test the power of his eye spell on humans. However, it was obvious that these idiots did not have the courage to disobey him, so Ivy had to continue: "Although I did not make it clear before, you all took your brooms voluntarily, which proves that you have some brains."

"But if you want to change the impression you have on me, you'll have to put in a lot of effort."

"In the coming days, I will take over the training of the Slytherin Quidditch team and will ensure your victory."

"Training will take place five days a week, from Monday to Friday after dinner."

Originally, the Quidditch team's training was not intensive, only two or three times a week. So after hearing about Ivy's training time, Troll No. 1 couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "But...how do we coordinate the venue? We can't occupy the Quidditch field all the time..."

Ivy didn't answer, staring into the eyes of Giant Monster No. 1 and smiling slightly, and the latter immediately fell into the snow like a piece of wood. Ivy finally found an opportunity to release the human immobilization spell, and the effect was quite good, and he was very satisfied.

"Mr. Trolls, next time don't speak before my permission. Even if you really want to say something, please raise your hand." Ivy politely raised a finger and announced his Quidditch training rules to the other six terrified trolls.

"do you understand?"

The six giant monsters that were still able to move immediately became confused.

"Very good," Ivy continued to explain his training plan with satisfaction. "Although the training will last for five days, the Quidditch pitch will only be used for tactical training on Fridays. The rest of the time, any open space will do."

"Today is Monday, so we will start with the simplest training." Ivy pointed at the flying brooms in their hands and shouted, "Come on! Gentlemen, ride your flying brooms. You don't need to be too high off the ground, just ten feet high!" The trolls looked at each other, and then they all hung up the wooden poles of the brooms and floated steadily in the air. Of course, except for Troll No. 1 who was still lying in the snow in an awkward posture.

Ivy snapped his fingers, and Giant Monster No. 1's body, which was as stiff as an iron plate, immediately softened. Although the human immobilization technique made his whole body stiff, it did not block his five senses, so he could clearly hear Ivy's instructions.

Troll No. 1 struggled to get up from the snow, waving his limbs unskillfully, and joined the team of trolls riding on brooms.

"Very good!" Ivy materialized the Grimoire of Destruction in his hand, and then used it as an arcane weapon, and with a few simple gestures, he created a gust of wind out of nowhere.

This gust of wind suddenly appeared in the air, blowing the thick snow on the ground into the air, instantly covering the faces of the seven giants.

The trolls were startled, and in order to prevent their vision from being affected by the flying snow, they all picked up their brooms and rose to higher ground.

Oddly enough, the trolls' actions were just subconscious, but the brooms only carried them up less than ten feet before the strong wind in the air stopped.

"Did I ask you to go up, gentlemen trolls?" Ivy's voice came at the right time, and the trolls who were still confused fell down as if in response to the stress and re-entered the wind field.

"This wind field is your training project for today. You'll be successful if you can keep your body steady and don't fall off the broom!" Ivy announced the first training project. After the initial panic, the trolls no longer took the wind seriously. The least experienced among them had already played Quidditch for a year and had encountered extreme weather several times.

So after looking at each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"You look like you can handle it? Very good!" Ivy raised his hand slightly and instantly increased the wind speed. The low temperature in November made the cold wind cut across the faces of the trolls like a knife, making their Quidditch uniforms rustle.

This is a second-level spell, Wind Creation, and with Ivy's metamagic mentor expertise, it can last for a full ten minutes.

In order to avoid being blown away, they had to try hard to control the direction of the brooms and at the same time bend down to reduce the area exposed to the wind, but it was hard to say how much effect this had given their troll-like bodies.

"Everything is stable? Very good, next is the second stage of training!" After the trolls gradually got used to swaying in the cold wind, Ivy immediately took out his wand and pointed it at the snow on the ground.

Countless snowballs flew up from the ground and hit the trolls on the heads.

"Dodge! Use minimal movement to avoid the snowball's attack!"

However, the trolls seemed indifferent and just lowered their heads even lower because they didn't want to fall off their brooms.

"Aha~ This is not a good habit, since you don't want to hide." Ivy pointed his wand and used a freezing spell to turn the snowball into ice. Now the trolls could no longer ignore the damage caused by the snowball and they all howled.

Ivy's strategy was so effective that the trolls stepped off their brooms with bruises all over their bodies and left the Quidditch pitch much faster than usual!
