Chapter 158 Last-Minute Preparation (Part 1)

"Please have a seat, Miss Cho Chang." Sean poured a steaming cup of honey lemon tea for Cho Chang, who was sitting opposite him.

Qiu Zhang took the tea but didn't drink it. Her brows were furrowed, and she looked somewhat anxious. "Professor Sean, thank you for your kindness, but I'm in a very troubled state of mind right now and really have no mood for tea," she said softly, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"What's wrong?" Sean put down the teapot and asked, feigning ignorance.

Qiu Zhang sighed and looked out the window, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

After a while, she turned her gaze back to Sean and said, "We're playing the Slytherin Quidditch team tomorrow, and I'm really not confident about it."

"I'm the only one on the team with a 'Nijirushi 2001,' everyone else is using ordinary brooms, while the entire opposing team has 'Nijirushi 2001s.' How can we compete like this?" Qiu Zhang's voice carried an indescribable sense of helplessness and anxiety. "The hopes of the entire team are almost entirely on my shoulders. I'm under so much pressure..."

Sean remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

Indeed, as Qiu Zhang said.

The Slytherin Quidditch team is already a formidable force, and the disparity in equipment between the two sides will undoubtedly make the match even more difficult. Ravenclaw's chances of defeating Slytherin are slim, if not impossible.

The only way to break the deadlock lies with Qiu Zhang.

If she can quickly catch the Golden Snitch when the score difference is not large, she still has a chance to win.

Galleons can often solve most of a person's problems, but as a Hufflepuff, Shane has no reason to sponsor Ravenclaw.

so.

"Ms. Qiu Zhang, while equipment is important, the key to winning a game lies in the players' skills and teamwork," Sean said firmly. "Everyone on your team is excellent. You've trained together for so long, so teamwork and coordination are not a problem."

A glint flashed in Qiu Zhang's eyes upon hearing Sean's words, but it quickly dimmed again. "But I'm still very worried. After all, this is the final. If we lose, all our efforts this year will have been in vain."

Sean stood up, walked over to Cho Chang, and gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, the professor will help you."

Upon hearing Sean's words, Cho Chang's body trembled slightly, and her lips quivered as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to begin.

Sean glanced at the darkening sky outside. "It's getting late, we should start training."

Upon hearing Sean's words, Cho Chang seemed to wake from a dream.

As night fell, the Quidditch pitch was gently enveloped in the hazy moonlight, as if draped in a veil of mystery.

The field was deserted, save for the gentle night breeze that rustled the blades of grass. The goalposts in the distance stood like two silent guardians, quietly silhouetted against the night.

Cho Chang and Professor Sean stepped into the quiet field, their footsteps echoing across the empty stadium.

Then it gradually dissipated in the night wind.

Qiu Zhang took a deep breath of the cool air, feeling the tension in his heart being gradually expelled with each breath.

"Come on, let's start with the basic exercises," Sean's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze that instantly broke the silence of the night. "Warm up first, get your body and mind in the zone."

Sean stood quietly at the edge of the field, his gaze fixed on Cho Chang's figure as if drawn by a magnet.

His eyes gleamed with admiration and praise.

If you were to ask when a person is most charming, it would undoubtedly be when he or she is fully engaged and focused on doing something.

Qiu Zhang at this moment is the best embodiment of this statement.

"Professor, it's done." When Sean came to his senses, Cho Chang was already back by his side.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Sean's eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. "Very good, Cho Chang, you've improved a lot today. Next, we'll move on to a more advanced level of Quidditch training."
