Orochimaru travels to Hogwarts

Chapter 104 I Don't Want to See Harry Potter (Second Update)

Swish!

A gust of wind suddenly swept past Saviour's ears, carrying with it a pale green figure that darted past him like an arrow.

He only glanced at it, but the substitute seeker's dynamic vision allowed him to see who it was.

Slack Anguiz!

This first-grader didn't ride a flying broomstick; he jumped directly from the sky to the ground.

Is he crazy?

Who does the ball finder like that?

and----

Why is Slyke Anguiz so fast?

With just a moment's hesitation, Saviour's flying broom slowed down. By the time he picked up speed again and approached the Ghost Ball below, Orochimaru was already close enough to it.

So, Saviour knew what Slack Anguius had just done.

Orochimaru lightly stepped onto the Kibiaki that was suspended in mid-air, and stood firmly on it as if there was glue under his feet.

But that's not all.

Orochimaru pushed off with his feet, and his entire body was launched like a cannonball towards the third Kibiaki Ball in the sky.

The flying broomstick arrived at his feet at that moment.

Orochimaru didn't sit on the Kibiaki Ball. Instead, he lightly tapped Comet 260 with one foot and shot towards the third Kibiaki Ball like an arrow.

His speed was so fast that he could even use the momentum to turn in mid-air and step on the Quake ball again.

And so, the same scene unfolded again.

Orochimaru hurtled straight to the ground, even faster than before.

Savien couldn't even figure out how Slack Anguis did it. Wasn't he afraid of taking a wrong step?

And why does the Quake ball, suspended in the air, seem to be under a sticky spell?

Savien felt his mind go blank and subconsciously gave up thinking.

But Orochimaru had no intention of letting him go.

He has found enjoyment in this game of flipping and slapping the Quaffle.

The moment he caught up with the flying broom, he stomped his feet on it, and his whole body seemed to be attached to the handle of Comet 260.

Comet 260, surprisingly unmanned, raised its head on its own and, carrying Orochimaru, charged straight toward the fourth Kibi Ball, just like an owl with its own consciousness.

Orochimaru had already activated the flying broom carrying the snake when it was still some distance from the fifth Kibi Ball.

One step, one stomp, one leap.

He had already taken to the air and was heading towards the fifth Quake ball.

This rise and fall of the sprint even gave Orochimaru a sense of the feeling of honing his chakra control in the Forest of Death.

He can freely adjust the flow of chakra while moving at high speed, allowing his body to adapt to attacks from any direction, and to be as agile as a snake.

This is a taijutsu style unique to Orochimaru.

He called it snake flow.

Now, the snake has descended from the sky and pounced on its target.

Savien didn't continue watching.

Even though Slack still had two Quakes left to bounce, he no longer had any intention of competing with this first-year kid.

How could a wizard use his body so freely?

He was so agile, almost like a vampire bat!

Savien even suspected that Slack Anguis was not a pure-blood wizard, and that tracing his bloodline back must reveal non-human lineage.

Savien was watching from close range, and because he was so close, he couldn't see the whole picture of Orochimaru's astonishing performance.

As Marcus Flint watched Orochimaru soar through the air like a butterfly among flowers, he made his decision.

This is his seeker.

He had never seen any Seeker perform such tricks on a flying broom.

Comet 260, which moved slightly slower, was practically like Slack Anguill's hands and feet, moving at his will.

Even more terrifying was Slack Anguis's instantaneous acceleration after detaching from his flying broom.

Although he didn't know how Slack Anguiz did it, he was certain that it could definitely be a signature move for professional Seekers.

"Brother," Marcus Flint looked at his elder brother William Flint with an unusually serious expression, "I can't help you this time. Slack Anguis's strength is obvious to all."

It's not just something that everyone can see.

Even Professor Snape, who had never liked Quidditch Seekers, looked at Orochimaru, who was darting around in the sky, with a hint of shock.

He didn't really want to, but Snape couldn't help but fantasize—

if----

How wonderful it would have been if I had not only been good at potions back then, but also good at Quidditch like Slack Anguill.

I will definitely teach James a lesson he will never forget on the Quidditch pitch, in front of Lily!

Snape's thoughts drifted far away; ever since he met Slack, he had gradually come to enjoy this way of imagining the past.

As for the other young wizards, they could hardly believe their eyes.

The Malfoys and their men trusted Orochimaru the most, and even witnessed him easily defeat the Weasley twins.

But that was on flat ground.

What Orochimaru is doing now is at the most dangerous heights in the sky, and he has even broken free from his flying broom.

If they didn't all know that Apparition is not allowed at Hogwarts, they would have thought Orochimaru was using a short-range Apparition.

this----

This is really challenging the common sense of wizards.

"Maybe it's some kind of magic we don't even know about," Theodore muttered to Malfoy. "I wonder if the professors will discover this trick during the actual Quidditch match."

After all, ever since Quidditch began, wizards have been trying to find ways to use magic in this sport where it is forbidden.

This is the wizard, and by the time Orochimaru returned to the ground, the commotion had long since subsided.

Savien accepted the offer without complaint and became Orochimaru's substitute, relinquishing his position as Seeker.

As for Marcus and the Quidditch team members, they all looked at Orochimaru differently now.

They already had a vague premonition.

Everything will be alright as long as this Seeker gets on the field.

They're sure to have a blast in the Quidditch tournament starting next month.

"Alright, the selection is now finalized." Marcus instructed the onlookers, "We're about to have a closed training session. Please keep our finder's performance today a secret when you leave."

Slytherin Anguill's ability to move so freely in the air and make such terrifying long-distance runs is definitely a killer weapon for the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Anyone with a brain would not doubt this.

Marcus Flint then asked Orochimaru with great kindness, "Slack, is there anything else you need us to do? We can devise a customized strategy for you and have a batter protect you throughout the game."

At this point, Marcus turned and glanced back at his brother.

"You don't need to worry about being ostracized in the team. We Slytherin players have always been known for our ability."

Upon hearing this, Snape silently turned around and strode away.

He couldn't accept such fawning Slytherin.

The purebloods, seeing Marcus Flint's excited face, practically begging Orochimaru to accept him, felt a deep sadness for the Flint family, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans. It was truly a misfortune for their family.

As for the Curse Group, the Ritual Group, and even Yena Yaxley, who came from afar specifically to see why Orochimaru was interested in Quidditch, they all felt that they had misunderstood before.

They initially thought this was just another Slytherin charade to consolidate power.

Unexpectedly—

Slack Anguill is surprisingly good at Quidditch, especially the Seeker position. This contrast in his character design makes not only them, but even the first-year students who have always followed Orochimaru feel a little uncomfortable.

They desperately wanted to do something to relieve this feeling.

William Flint reacted the fastest.

Almost instinctively, he asked Orochimaru, "What exactly is your purpose in playing Quidditch? Or rather, what do you want from us?"

Slytherins feel extremely uncomfortable if there is no exchange of benefits involved in a transaction.

Orochimaru was fully aware of this, so he made his own request.

"I don't want to see Harry Potter on the Quidditch pitch."
