Chapter 465: Sudden Attack

The next five balls all hit the goal frame without exception, and Cormac didn't even touch the edge of the Quaffle.

The batsmen were already cheering and celebrating, they felt that they were in great shape today!

Cormac, however, was lying on his broom with a dazed look on his face, he had been hit blindly.

Cormac rubbed his eyes vigorously, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes, he clearly saw the movement trajectory of the subsequent balls, but no matter how he tried to jump, he couldn't touch the ball.

Obviously, there was nothing wrong with his eyes, the root cause of all this was actually Hermione.

She had secretly cursed Cormac when Cormac received the fifth ball.

It only took a simple Confusion Charm to ruin Cormac's test for joining the team.

Mike, who was next to Hermione, saw all of this, but he had no intention of stopping it. Instead, he straightened up and deliberately blocked Hermione's figure.

After finishing all this, Hermione retired. She put away her wand again, straightened her skirt, and then looked at Mike.

The two smiled at each other, and everything was self-evident.

Many people in Hogwarts said that Hermione was a replica of Professor McGonagall when she was young, because both of them had very rigid personalities and took rules more seriously than anything else. There were so many people saying this, even Harry and Ron, who had been with Hermione day and night, thought so.

But in Mike's view, Hermione was Hermione, not a replica of Professor McGonagall when she was young.

Hermione's behavior this time was the best proof.

If it was McGonagall before, she would not have acted secretly, which was against the rules.

But Hermione did it, which meant that Hermione cared more about her friends than the rules, or that Hermione was willing to give up the ethics she had always adhered to for her friends.

This might be because Hermione was influenced by Harry and the others, but it is undeniable that such behavior made Hermione more humane.

Thinking of this, the expression on Mike's face became softer.

At this time, Cormier on the field finally stopped and fell back to the ground. Now he just felt embarrassed and wanted to leave here quickly.

His eye sockets became a little red due to long-term rubbing, and he looked like he was crying.

This scene made the girls in the stands suddenly overflow with maternal love, and they cried out Cormier's name one by one.

Mike was a little speechless. He felt that although Hermione's hype made Cormier embarrassed, it also made him gain a group of mother fans.

But Hermione obviously didn't realize this at this time. She looked at the audience excitedly. At this moment, Ron was riding a flying broom and slowly rising.

Compared with other test subjects, his equipment was luxurious. Whether it was the set of Irish team signature protective gear lent to him by Harry or the Firebolt left by George Fred, he looked particularly generous.

But the huge advantage of the equipment obviously did not give Ron much confidence. Mike could clearly see that Ron, who was riding on the Firebolt, was now trembling with nervousness.

"Oh! He's too nervous!" Hermione shouted anxiously, "He's always like this, it's his old problem, he gets nervous when there are too many people around!"

After that, Hermione raised her wand again, pulled Mike together to use the sound booming spell to cheer Ron.

This huge shout easily reached Ron's ears, and he looked back stiffly at the stands, and gave Mike and Hermione a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Uh, I think he seems to be more nervous when we do this."

"It seems so," Hermione put down her wand awkwardly, "Let's not talk, just watch."

Ron's test finally began.

The batsmen were in a hot state, and one high-speed shot after another kept hitting the goal, but the strange thing was that Ron seemed to have some shit luck, no matter how fast the Quaffle was, he could easily save it from the goal.

After a few balls, Ron finally gained confidence. He panted, his eyes kept moving with the Quaffle, and his body stopped shaking.

This made his saves even more deadly.

Finally, the test results came out. Ron saved seven out of ten balls, ranking first among all the testers!

Ron shouted excitedly, and there were sparse applause and cheers from the stands.

"This is better than his best result in training!"

Hermione also shouted excitedly, but Mike on the side just felt funny.

He saw it clearly just now. Although those batsmen acted very similar, they did let the water go.

It was probably because of the two brothers George and Fred.

Mike made a judgment quickly.

Although he thought so, Mike still acted very happy on the surface, and cheered for Ron with Hermione.

Ten minutes later, the emotional Ron finally left the field, but the goalkeeper test continued.

However, those who were tested next were obviously not interested. They all lowered their heads and were unhappy.

This is not surprising. Ron achieved such a good result that he almost confirmed his identity as the goalkeeper of the regular team. The probability of them being selected is almost zero.

Such a test was undoubtedly not exciting enough. Many spectators in the stands had already started to leave, but Mike and Hermione did not do so - they had to wait until all the tests were over to celebrate with Ron and the others.

However, their attention was not on the test. Mike looked at Hermione with a smile and couldn't help asking:

"Hermione, have you ever considered working for Los Santos Corporation after graduation?"

"Why are you talking about this issue all of a sudden?"

Hermione looked very surprised.

Mike felt a little disappointed. Hermione's performance had already represented that she had always considered going to Los Santos Corporation.

But he still didn't notice it, and then said:

"Because I think you are very capable, and Los Santos Corporation needs outstanding talents like you. And most importantly, I also want to see you every day after graduation."

There is another important reason that Mike didn't say, that is, Hermione is also a wizard born from Muggles.

This is crucial, because what Mike wants to build is an organization dominated by Muggle-blooded wizards.

Therefore, the blood discrimination within the Los Santos Group is quite serious from top to bottom, but this discrimination is the opposite of the outside world. The purer the blood, the worse the treatment.

Hermione's face turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head and rubbed her robe, looking very embarrassed.

After a long while, Hermione suddenly raised her head as if she had made a decision, and said to Mike in a firm and apologetic tone:

"Sorry, Mike, please allow me to refuse."

"Why?"

Although he had expected this result, Mike was still very disappointed at this time.

"Because I want to work in the Ministry of Magic."

"You want to go into politics?!"

Mike's voice suddenly increased. In fact, Hermione's decision was too outrageous in his opinion. With Hermione's personality, the only result of going into politics is to be eaten up by others with skin and bones.

However, Hermione nodded firmly.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand why you want to go into politics?"

"Mike, what do you think of the current attitude of the entire wizarding society towards Muggle-bloods and even half-bloods?"

"Very bad, and it's getting worse and worse."

Mike said without hesitation. He was telling the truth. With the return of Voldemort, the social status of all Muggle-bloods and even half-bloods was constantly declining.

Voldemort's terrorist attacks on Muggle-blood wizards were only a small part of the reason, because although the Death Eaters were under the banner of targeting Mudbloods and half-bloods, in fact, they were no less malicious towards pure-bloods than towards Mudbloods.

The main reason for all this was that some pure-bloods blamed all the losses they suffered from Voldemort's actions on Muggle-bloods and half-blood wizards, while some half-blood wizards blamed all this on Muggle wizards.

This is actually a very stupid logic, because the culprits of all this are obviously Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but these people all blamed the Muggle wizards who were victims like them.

However, Mike was not surprised at the emergence of this phenomenon, because history has long proved that there will always be such clowns before the disaster.

And the behavior of these clowns also made it easier for him to unite the Muggle-blooded wizards. In a sense, Mike should thank them.

"I think this phenomenon is wrong. People should not be divided into different levels just because of their bloodline!"

Hermione said firmly.

"So you want to join politics..."

"Yes, I want to change everything!" Hermione said excitedly with a red face, "and the only shortcut to achieve this goal with my power is to join politics! I will slowly change everything through the law."

"But the current situation of the Ministry of Magic in Yingguo is not optimistic."

"Are you referring to Voldemort?" Hermione said, "I believe Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will definitely get rid of him, yes, I firmly believe it!"

"What if Voldemort wins in the end?"

"This..." Hermione was silent. She seemed to have never thought about this problem. After a long while, she slowly said, "Then I will leave Yingguo and go to the French Ministry of Magic or the American Ministry of Magic. In short, my determination will not change. I will take this as my lifelong career to complete!"

Hermione's eyes were red as she spoke, as if she was moved by her speech.

But Mike shook his head slightly. In his opinion, Hermione's speech just now was completely a fearless speech of a newborn calf.

Courage is commendable, but there is no value in listening to it.

Hermione is still too young and has too little experience.

This makes her view of things very shallow, and she often fails to perceive the true face of things.

Let's not talk about whether she can withstand the test of people's hearts and the pressure of the ancient pure-blood families after becoming a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.

But she will never be able to become a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, especially in Ying Country.

You should know that the Ministry of Magic in Ying Country is the base camp of pure-blood nobles, and none of the high-ranking officials in it are

Muggle-born. And the Ministry of Magic in Ying Country also has strong gender discrimination (don't be surprised, the gender discrimination in the Ministry of Magic in Ying Country is very serious, which can be seen from the "Magic Brothers Fountain". But compared with the oppression of women in the feudal society of humans, the equal rights of women in the wizarding society are still good, but this is actually based on the fact that witches also have strong individual strength.), so the difficulty of Hermione's ideal is no longer a nightmare level, but a Genesis level!

Mike sighed, he was no longer prepared to continue communicating with Hermione on this topic, no matter what he said to a young man of this age, it would be useless.

But just as he was about to change the subject, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brow.

Mike was startled, and instinctively turned his head to look at the Quidditch field, and then he saw a Quaffle constantly enlarging in his field of vision!

"Ha!"

Mike shouted, and then a powerful magic burst out from his body!

This powerful magic formed an unmatched repulsive force the moment it left the body, and in just a moment it pushed Hermione out. At the same time, the Quaffle also collided with this repulsive force!

"�模

� An indescribable sound came out.

The high-speed spinning Quaffle slowed down a little under the effect of repulsion, but the repulsion was obviously not enough to stop it.

Moreover, Mike was surprised to find that at this time, a strange black light was constantly flashing on the Quaffle, which made Mike feel very bad.

Mike's premonition was right, because the next moment the black light burst out, and the Quaffle also accelerated suddenly, hitting Mike's head at a faster speed than before!

The players on the court couldn't help but exclaimed. If Mike was hit directly by the Quaffle with a speed comparable to that of a bullet, his head would probably explode into a ball of paste like a rotten tomato!

Fortunately, due to the previous repulsion that bought some time, Mike finally completed the deployment of magic before the Quaffle hit him, and raised his hand to block himself!

Veins popped up on Mike's forehead. His eyes were red, and he shouted with all his strength:

"Everything will be destroyed!"

The next moment, a dark flame spurted out from his palm and hit the Quaffle straight on!

"Woo!~"

A strange whistle sounded, and the moment the flame came into contact with the Quaffle, the black light on it increased greatly. The intensity of this terrifying black light was far beyond Mike's expectations. It actually carried the magic-devouring effect of the dark fire and irradiated Mike!

Although it was only a moment, a black spot instantly appeared on the place where Mike's palm was touched by the black light.

At this time, the Quaffle, which was the carrier of the black light, had long been completely vaporized by the high temperature of the Fiendish Fire, but the black light was still expanding, still delusionally trying to cause more damage to Mike!

Seeing this, Mike's bloodshot eyes narrowed...
