Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 160 The Elevation of Strategic Vision (Second Update)

"Jerry, that's awesome! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

After the game, Meyer excitedly gave Jerry a big hug.

This gamble has cost him his entire reputation. If he can't turn things around, his job as Quidditch coach is probably over.

And clearly, he won his gamble!

Although Jerry didn't perform as terrifyingly as he did at Hogwarts, it was within his expectations, since the Golden Snitch in official matches is much faster than the one used at school.

Just now on the field, Jerry completely dominated the opposing German team's Seeker, and finally turned the tide by catching the Golden Snitch, defeating the German team ranked higher than them. This has proven to the world how excellent Jerry is as a Seeker, and it also proves his foresight.

If he maintains this level of performance, I can't guarantee first place in the next World Quidditch Cup, but second or third place is definitely within his reach.

Besides Meyer, the other members of the England Quidditch team also had a significant change in their attitude towards Jerry after the game, because they found that although Jerry was young, he was indeed much better than the previous Seekers on the team.

After lunch, everyone else stayed in the tent to wait for the afternoon's match between Italy and France, but Jerry asked to go back to the hotel to study and do his homework.

For him, spending an afternoon watching the game was less worthwhile than returning to the hotel to study and research magic, or perhaps strolling through a proper French magic street to see if he could find anything useful.

The old wizard ran away quickly last night and didn't collect the money. He still hasn't spent a single Galleon in his pocket.

Although Meyer was somewhat reluctant to accept Jerry's request, he wanted Jerry to watch the afternoon's game and learn about the two teams' seekers in order to prepare for tomorrow's game.

However, due to the contractual agreement and the fact that Jerry did need time to study, he nodded and personally used Apparition to send Jerry back to the hotel.

After Meyer left, Jerry left the hotel alone and wandered around Magic Street.

"Chicken blood, brandy!"

Using the Transfiguration Charm to transform into the appearance of a young wizard, Jerry began purchasing the necessary food for the dragon that was about to hatch in the box space.

According to the book "From Dragon Egg to Hell: A Guide to Raising Dragons," the dragon egg he stole from Hagrid is estimated to hatch in about a week.

So take advantage of being in the French Magic Street now and buy the necessary food in advance, otherwise it will be really difficult to go out and buy it after returning to Hogwarts.

Chicken blood and brandy weren't expensive; he only needed ten Galleons to buy enough for Charmander's early growth.

After making his purchase, he wandered over to a nearby shop that sold magic books.

Collecting spellbooks has always been Jerry's top priority, because in his view, everything else is external, only magic is fundamental, and spellbooks are the source of magical knowledge and the most precious things.

And just like that, the three-day competition came to an end in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately, the English Quidditch team won the tournament with a perfect record of 3 wins out of 3.

Jerry rose to fame in this tournament, silencing all the doubts in the wizarding world.

Because in the three matches involving the England Quidditch team, they were trailing by at least a hundred points in each game before catching the Golden Snitch.

In the end, it was Jerry's superb flying skills that turned the tide and allowed him to catch the Golden Snitch first, thus reversing the score.

In other words, it was because of Jerry that the England Quidditch team was able to win this Four Nations Tournament.

The morning after the competition ended, Jerry, escorted by Meyer, returned to the Ministry of Magic in London first through the Portkey. After saying goodbye to Meyer, he pulled his suitcase alone into the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic.

A flash of green flame, and Jerry was back at Hogwarts. As soon as he stepped out of the fireplace, he saw Snape waiting for him.

"This time, very good!"

Surprisingly, Snape actually smiled when he saw Jerry.

The outstanding first-year student of Slytherin House actually turned the tide and won the national Quidditch tournament. Such glory made Snape, the headmaster of Slytherin, feel extremely proud.

Glory belongs to Slytherin, for glory is what Slytherin values ​​most.

Jerry, at this moment, brought immense glory to Slytherin and to the entire Hogwarts.

After putting his suitcase away in the dorm, Jerry was greeted with enthusiastic applause as soon as he entered the auditorium.

All the young wizards who saw Jerry appear, regardless of which house they were from, excitedly stood up and applauded him, because they had already seen the full report about the Four Nations Tournament in the newspapers that morning.

They also learned that it was Jerry who turned the tide and led the England Quidditch team to the championship.

If Jerry represented Slytherin in previous school competitions, many young wizards from other houses would have been hesitant.

Now, Jerry represents not only Slytherin, but also Hogwarts and all the wizards in Britain, and deserves their applause.

Through this Quidditch match, Jerry's character has been elevated; he is no longer just Jerry of Slytherin, but Jerry of the entire Hogwarts.

"It feels pretty good!"

Looking at the enthusiastic young wizards, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

No wonder Slytherin wizards love to pursue fame and fortune; sometimes that feeling is indeed intoxicating.

Flowers and applause—who could resist them?

However, Jerry knew very well that all of this required strength. Only with strength could one possess everything; without strength, everything was meaningless, just like that teacher Lockhart.

After finishing lunch surrounded by a group of young wizards, Jerry returned to his studies at the library.

Although his combat ability is not weak at present, he can hold his own even against more than a dozen Aurors, and even has a chance to wipe them all out.

However, he also has many shortcomings, and there are still deficiencies in his basic skills. Many areas need to be addressed little by little.

If he could Apparate, he wouldn't need to fight those Aurors head-on; he could simply escape.

Moreover, the power of his Fire Dragon Spell has not yet reached his expectations, and he needs to continue to find ways to increase its power.

He needs to find time to learn the Seamless Stretch Spell now. The box space is fine for now, but it will definitely be insufficient when the fire dragon grows up. He will need to use the Seamless Stretch Spell to gradually expand it.

If possible, he also wants to see if he can acquire some more powerful magical creatures.

Alchemy, potions, Transfiguration, and other skills all require time to improve. His current strength is still far from his goal, so this is not the time to slack off or enjoy himself!
