Chapter 163: Goal, Goal, and More Goals!
On the field, with the first player eliminated, the pressure on the remaining two increased significantly. They had to keep 120% of their focus, dodging both Bludgers while looking for any chance to unseat their opponent.
After over ten minutes of intense back-and-forth, the match finally came to a close. To everyone's surprise, the winner turned out to be the underdog third-year student, who used his agility to gain the upper hand against his taller, stronger fifth-year opponent at a crucial moment.
The crowd burst into applause and cheers.
Harris walked over, smiling as he extended his hand. "Willard, welcome to the team."
"It's an honor, Captain," the third-year replied, shaking Harris's hand, and another round of applause filled the stands.
Next up was the selection of the Chasers. Kyle got to his feet, grabbed his broom, and made his way onto the field.
"Go, Kyle!" Cedric shouted from the stands, setting off a firework. It exploded overhead, forming a massive banner of a running badger with the words "Go Kyle" emblazoned across it in shimmering letters.
Where did he even get that? Kyle wondered as he arrived at the center of the pitch, trying not to look too embarrassed by the dramatic display.
He would be competing against two fifth-years for the Chaser position.
