Qiu successfully became Seeker, while William went to the field to participate in the selection process.

Cedric pulled up a banner with a flapping eagle on its wings to cheer on the fall.

He now writes William's name on a piece of paper, glues it directly over Autumn's name, and makes no other changes.

William was speechless. This is way too perfunctory.

Amid cheers from the crowd, William quickly entered the stadium.

He participated in the selection process for the Chaser.

In Quidditch team, there are seven players on each side, three of whom are called the Chaser, and the ball they are responsible for is called the Quaffle.

Chaser the Quaffle to each other, trying to get it through a ring to score points. Each time the Quaffle through a ring, it scores ten points.

Each team has one goalkeeper responsible for protecting the three rings.

Overall, Quidditch is like a combination of football and basketball, except it's a sport played on a broomstick.

William has a lot of competitors, including two veterans... fourth-year student Ralph Zaan and third-year student Roger Davies.

However, William did not consider anyone a rival; he was determined to secure a spot.

This confidence comes from extensive training over a long period of time.

He could score easily for both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, so Ravenclaw, a weak team, would be even easier.

In other words, he's here to be the boss.

William was eager to see if anyone would say something like, "I thought they chose the Stark to assist me."

William rode on the Nimbus 1700 and with a casual push, he soared into the sky.

That long-lost feeling returned; William felt as if he were back on the final stage on April 20th.

Someone below started serving.

The selection process for their academy is very simple: it just looks at your success rate when you make open shots from different positions.

Those with higher accuracy rates will be directly selected for the college team.

The academy won't have tests for height, weight, body fat percentage, half-court shuttle flights, or 3/4-court sprint flights; those are club-specific physical tests.

It's said that some established club teams even conduct all-night testing sessions.

Last year's Quidditch World Cup final lasted five days and five nights, with Scotland Team narrowly missing victory and Canadian Team winning the championship.

If I can't stay up late, that's not an option.

Therefore, most Quidditch players go bald at a young age. Charlie's trip to Romania to study dragons was definitely a wise move.

Aside from basic tests, the academy will not organize any 7v7 matches.

William was slightly disappointed to learn that there would be no sparring match; he had wanted to show off the Iron Elbow technique he had been learning for a long time.

These little gestures were all learned from Charlie Weasley in the time loop.

Despite being Seeker Charlie, Charlie is surprisingly bad at finding the Golden Snitch. He always manages to land quickly and use various tricks to annoy the Chaser.

Later, William specifically sought out Charlie for training and learned many foul moves, which, in Charlie's words, were. "Just elbow it!"

It's really nothing. Trash talk and dirty tricks are always part of the game, as long as you're not aiming to injure someone.

William hovered in mid-air for a moment, caught the Quaffle, and made all ten of his open shots.

In his previous life, William was a star point guard at an orphanage, known as the "Little Prince of Three-Pointers" by people in the surrounding villages.

In the time loop, he still shot the ball with the same basketball form. His body had a smooth feel, and his muscle memory did not disappear with the loop.

He trained for a long time and his accuracy was extremely high.

William's release speed was also very fast; he didn't need to make many adjustments, and from a distance it looked like he was pushing Quaffle.

This is a bit like a certain arrogant elementary school student.

Ku Ritian's entire shooting motion takes only 0.3 seconds. What does 0.3 seconds mean?

You blinked, and he ejaculated.

Professor Flitwick, unaware of what was happening, gestured for everyone not to disturb William.

He waved his wand, constantly directing the Quaffle to fly towards William's hand.

William scored all one hundred goals.

Throughout the entire process, he continuously shot from most positions, including the bottom corner, 30 degrees, and 45 degrees, making his shots virtually unstoppable.

For the final goal, William had already positioned himself in midfield.

He just casually aimed, the arc was high, the position was very straight, and he just threw it out. Unexpectedly, this super long-range shot went in.

William's shooting percentage in the Time Loop isn't that high, and he rarely attempts long-range shots, since there's no 30-point line in Quidditch.

But he was on fire today, making every shot he took.

Professor Flitwick stood with his hands on his hips on the training platform, a broad smile on his face.

The Ravenclaw Quidditch Team will definitely need to rebuild around William.

In the process of building a new team, new players need to be trained, and old tactics also need to be modified.

That is... pass the ball to William for a one-on-one play.

William thought so too.

Although this style of play may seem like a toxic and sluggish approach, it's the best method Ravenclaw has consistently used, given his consistently poor performance.

He scores, Qiu searches for the Golden Snitch —that's the core of the overall tactic.

William descended from the sky, and Professor Flitwick took his hand, speaking to him kindly.

Professor Flitwick's face was beaming with smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Students from the other houses looked at William with awe; the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team was truly on the rise.

The following days were filled with discussion about this matter; William's performance at the selection competition caused a great sensation.

However, not everyone cares; open shot percentage doesn't tell the whole story.

During a contest, you won't be given plenty of open space. The Bludger is used to disrupt the Chaser ball, and there are also various fouls on the court.

Many people believe that William has never played a formal game and only knows how to shoot open shots, which doesn't prove anything.

Upon hearing this, William laughed. If anyone actually thought that way during the match, he wouldn't mind making them suffer a great loss.

However, thanks to this, the whole school was talking about Quidditch.

Last school year was supposed to feature a classic Badger vs. Lion battle, but the final was canceled because of Tywin, which was a disappointment for everyone.

What happened next further fueled Quidditch's popularity.

On Tuesday morning, as the owls flocked into the large dining room as usual, everyone's attention was drawn to the long package carried by thirty horned owls.

When William and his companions opened the package and pulled out five Nimbus 2000, the entire academy erupted in cheers.

Many students wanted to come over and touch the Nimbus 2000.

The twin brothers were indeed business geniuses; they immediately seized the opportunity and sold the riding rights to the Nimbus 2000.

For just 10 Sickle, you can ride the latest version of the Nimbus 2000 and fly around the playground for twenty minutes.

In no time, a long line formed on the playground.

They even wanted to borrow William's flying broom.

Based on the number of customers the twins serve each day, if all five brooms are used simultaneously, they estimate that they will earn back the cost of the brooms in less than six months.

The problem is that at this rate, not only will the Nimbus 2000 still be usable in six months, but even the new ones will become completely outdated.

William told the two guys to get lost.
