Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 558 A God-like Move (First Update)

"It still feels like it's not quite there yet!"

Seeing Hermione and the others standing on the top floor waving at him and shouting "Go for it!", Jerry smiled and snapped his fingers lightly.

Suddenly, countless beautiful flower petals appeared out of thin air above the stadium, falling down on the audience below with the wind, and the pleasant fragrance of flowers filled the entire stadium.

As everyone was immersed in the beautiful rain of petals, a red rose quietly landed in Hermione's hand as she reached out to catch the petals.

"The match is officially starting!"

Although surprised by the unexpected shower of flower petals, Fudge still started the match on time, following the opening order.

As Jerry predicted, England were completely outmatched, but considering their home advantage and the team's hard training during this period, they fared better than expected.

One second before the Golden Snitch was released, the score between Ireland and England was 110-40, a difference of 70 points.

"Look! Our referee for today, Hassan Mustafa, the highly popular president of the International Quidditch Federation who flew all the way from Egypt, has started releasing the Golden Snitch!"

As the tide of victory began to turn in Ireland's favor, England fans, who had been waiting for the Golden Snitch, cheered loudly.

Because they know that whether England can defeat Ireland depends on whether the legendary Seeker Jerry can catch the Golden Snitch before the Irish Seeker.

And it can't be too slow, otherwise if the score difference between Ireland and England exceeds 150 points, even if Jerry catches the Golden Snitch, he won't be able to win.

The Golden Snitch is worth 150 points; catching the Golden Snitch ends the game.

The Golden Snitch, smaller, more agile, and faster than those used in Hogwarts Quidditch matches, flew out of the box in the referee's hand and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Jerry and the Seeker opposite him stared intently, quickly searching for the Golden Snitch's trail.

"Found it!"

In just two seconds, Jerry used his superhuman eyesight to lock onto the golden thief's trajectory, then accelerated his fire crossbow at full speed and charged toward the golden thief.

Although the Irish Seeker on the other side had not yet spotted the Golden Snitch, he cleverly rushed in the direction Jerry was flying when he saw Jerry rushing towards him.

With the same fire arrows and flying brooms, and the same full-speed advance, the Irish Seeker's movement speed was naturally the same as Jerry's, except that he was a step slower and half a body behind.

In the stands, everyone watched through panoramic binoculars as Jerry and the Irish Seeker charged toward the Golden Snitch, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

The entire stadium was covered with clover and red cross flags, and the names of Jerry and the opposing Seeker echoed throughout the stadium.

Because whoever catches the Golden Snitch first will end the match immediately.

Ten seconds after the Golden Snitch was released, Jerry appeared behind the Golden Snitch on his flying broomstick, with Ireland's Seeker half a meter behind him.

Just when it seemed that if it sped up a little more, it could reach out and grab the golden thief, the golden thief suddenly changed direction at supersonic speed and fell vertically downwards.

This is actually quite normal. The Golden Snitch is a ball, and although it is fast, it is not as fast as the flying broom at full speed.

The reason it's so difficult to catch is because it's very small and can change direction at will.

Under normal circumstances, a Seeker cannot adapt to a speeding change of direction like the Golden Snitch's. He will inevitably overshoot, then adjust his direction and search for the Golden Snitch's position again.

Therefore, if the Seeker's skills are not good enough, it may take several days to catch the Golden Snitch, and the match may last for several days.

This has happened before in history.

In a normal game, Jerry would probably do the same as a regular Seeker: let the Golden Snitch go first, then catch it later at the last moment.

But today, he's taken bets with everyone, and it's the last Quidditch match, so naturally, things can't be the same as before.

Therefore, the 100,000 wizards present witnessed for the first time on the field a scene that could be described as a divine operation.

As the Irish rider overshot his target due to his excessive speed, Jerry jumped off his flying broomstick.

Then, at the moment of landing, he grabbed the tail of the flying broom and, using the force of his own body weight, forcibly spun the broom 270 degrees in mid-air.

Once he had aligned the flying broom with the golden snitch flying downwards, he used his powerful arm strength to get himself back on the broom.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, almost as fast as the Golden Snitch's high-speed change of direction.

Seeing that he hadn't shaken off Jerry, and that the next step down would be the ground of the stadium, the Golden Snitch continued to accelerate and change direction, switching from downward to forward, trying to shake off Jerry again.

Unfortunately, Jerry had anticipated this situation, and at the moment the Golden Snitch changed direction, he didn't control the flying broom to change direction again.

Instead, he pushed off with both feet on the flying broom, leaped off the broom, grabbed the golden thief the instant it changed direction, and then rolled in mid-air before landing gracefully.

"Fifteen seconds! Jerry Carmen caught the Golden Snitch in fifteen seconds. Match over!"

Ireland vs. England, score 120-190. England wins this year's World Cup final!

The Director of Sports at the Ministry of Magic, who was in charge of hosting and commentating, excitedly announced the results of the match.

Meanwhile, all the England fans present, or rather, the fans who supported Jerry, raised their flags and Jerry stickers and began to cheer wildly.

Some wizards even took out their wands and began to unleash bursts of flame or glowing magic. Occasionally, a few even prepared to cast arrow spells, but they were quickly and sternly stopped by the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic who were stationed around to maintain order.

Catching the Golden Snitch in fifteen seconds, along with that series of incredible maneuvers, this year's Quidditch World Cup will surely be recorded in the annals of Quidditch World Cup history.

This wasn't luck; Jerry truly used his skills to capture Quidditch.

In the future, many Seekers will likely need to train and emulate Jerry's skills in dealing with the Golden Snitch's high-speed changes of direction.

Similarly, most of them will have experienced serious injuries such as broken arms, legs, and necks.

After all, without Jerry's superhuman physical abilities, it would be impossible to master such a difficult technique without falling hundreds of times.
