The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

Chapter 155 Training in Progress

"The goal of today's practice is to familiarize yourself with your brooms." Captain Field rubbed his palms together and pointed in a certain direction. "Captain Wood and I have discussed this. Today's training ground will be divided into two halves. That side is for Gryffindor, so you'd better just fly here."

"I remember we seem to have two training grounds." Cecilia wiped her glasses. "Why do we have to squeeze in here?"

"The other side is for Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Captain Field shook his head. "At this time of year in previous years, everyone can usually negotiate in advance to stagger the use time and take turns every day... But this year, the Slytherin captain only communicated with Ravenclaw. In order to prevent conflicts, Captain Wood and I can only do this."

Sun Zhu looked around with the broom in his arms. In fact, the Quidditch training ground at Hogwarts was very large. Not far away was the Black Lake, and further away was the Forbidden Forest.

During normal competitions, an additional competition area will be set aside, which will take up less than half the size of the venue and will be kept at a sufficient distance from Black Lake to ensure the safety of students during the competition.

Now there are two training grounds, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor share the one near the Black Lake. The temperature near the Black Lake is much lower than other places, so she felt the cold of winter in the early autumn.

Karina sneezed and then tightened her school robe. Their uniforms had not been distributed yet, and today was their first time to train, so they seemed a little unprepared.

"Karina, Zhu, are you all right?" Anna looked at them worriedly, "I heard that your Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning..."

"It's okay, Senior Anna." Sun Zhu waved his hands and cast a warming spell on himself.

"Even you heard about it, they scared me to death!" Karina patted her chest, "I almost chased them out, but Daisy stopped me. I was so scared for the whole class that I didn't hear a word Alexander said. But when I got to the restaurant, I saw the three of them already eating steak!"

"We also left some for you." Sun Zhu blinked innocently.

"Well, if you're really okay, I'll be relieved." Anna patted Karina's shoulder and glanced at Sun Zhu, who was holding a broom and hunching his shoulders. "Do you know that your story has spread all over the school?"

"I don't care." Sun Zhu exhaled, "If the principal doesn't pursue it, it doesn't matter whether other people know about it or not. Oh, I even went back and asked the principal not to tell our parents about this, and he agreed."

Although it was a question whether she could hide it from her father, this excuse was enough for her to explain to Fina and Cedric why she returned to the principal's office.

"What are you talking about?" Cedric jumped off the broom. He and Troch had just been sent by Captain Field to patrol the surrounding environment. After all, this place was very close to Black Lake, and there were many tall trees planted by the lake. They needed to be careful to avoid those places during training.

Sun Zhu glanced at Cedric, who was wearing a canary yellow team uniform. Seeing that his fair face was red from the cold, he asked in surprise, "Is it really cold over there? Why don't you use a warming spell?"

"Not really." He shook his head. "I just ran into some Gryffindors nearby and we... had some conversations."

"They were the ones who insisted on having a race with us, flying around Cedric and me several times." Turlock, who was not far away, complained to Field, "Gryffindors are always full of energy."

"It's too dangerous." Cecilia shook her head. "I have to go talk to them. We're chasing by the Black Lake. What if I accidentally hit a tree and fall into the lake?"

"You ran to their territory?" Sun Zhu reached out and took off a leaf from his hood. "You didn't fight with them, did you?"

"No, I can confirm that it is our training ground. It's just that from a distance, Fred, George and Lourenco are chasing us." He smiled, "Maybe the color of our uniforms is too conspicuous."

Anna couldn't help but ask, "What are they going to do? Spy? But we haven't even started practicing yet."

"No, they chased after us and said to Cedric, 'Hey, Diggory, you're quite brave. You did what we always wanted to do.' These were the Weasley twins who said that. Then their chaser, Lorenco, said he wanted to compete with us to see who was braver." Troch rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What a lunatic."

"He always likes to tease people like this," Field said, trying to smooth things over. "Especially he likes to tease the younger students. He's more gentlemanly with the girls. I'll talk to Wood about it. Have you finished looking around?"

"I have marked all the trees over three meters tall. To the southeast of this training ground, there is a grove of newly planted ash trees, about five to eight meters tall. Further south, there are several white fir trees several dozen meters tall." Cedric took out a piece of parchment with directions and a diagram sketched on it and handed it to Field. "Beyond that is the Black Lake. It's safer for us to avoid the south as much as possible."

Karina leaned over to take a look and asked, "What is this crossed-out area over there on the Black Lake?"

"The Forbidden Forest." Sun Zhu cast a warming spell on himself, "It's more dangerous over there. There are many tall poisonous trees and many unknown magical animals."

"That's right. Our training grounds will be concentrated in the north. I will go and confirm it with Senior Sister Cecilia later. You will be in charge of the training of Anna, Karina and Zhu. The key is to make them familiar with the feeling of broomsticks and high-altitude flying." Field clapped his hands and read the parchment carefully. "James and Trok can cooperate with each other in training. You are the only two batsmen this year, so you must have a good understanding of each other."

"What about me?" Cedric asked.

"You don't need my further instructions. Seekers are special in nature, and I believe you have a more suitable training method for yourself." Captain Field's eyes were full of trust.

He jumped on his broom and flew away. Cecilia also smiled and nodded, "I'm going too. I care more about your safety than training. After all, the most important thing is to avoid accidents and injuries. After all, no one used this place as a training ground in previous years. I'm a little worried. I also need to discuss with Gryffindor not to disturb each other except for friendly matches. Good luck."

Sun Zhu looked at the two canary yellow figures going away and stomped his frozen feet.

"Karina, come and do some warm-up exercises with me." She motioned to Karina, who had not gotten on the broom like her, to move her joints together. Karina didn't understand why, but she twisted her body along.

Suddenly, a warm air flow covered her whole body. Sun Zhu turned her head in confusion and saw Cedric standing beside her with a wand in his hand.

"Heat Wind Curse, the hospital robes look too thin." He whispered.

"Thank you." She nodded, still stretching her legs.

The hot air made her face slightly red.

"What are you doing here?" He bent down to look at her in confusion.

"I don't know either." Karina followed suit and said, "Cedric, move aside. You're blocking my view."

"Muggles all know about warm-up exercises before exercise." Sun Zhu straightened up. Cedric was keeping a distance from them under Karina's command.

She couldn't help laughing and said, "You wizards who have been away from Muggle life for too long can all learn from me."

"But this looks a bit silly." Anna said not far away: "Fortunately there is no one else here."

"Is it really that stupid?" Sun Zhu touched his face doubtfully.

"No, I think it's cute." Cedric said seriously.

"You, go away." Anna pointed at him, "Don't disturb our training here."

Cedric raised his hands innocently.

"Well done, Senior Anna." Karina applauded.

Sun Zhu smiled silently.
