Avis was starting to get the hang of the doubled-up broom situation, although her arms were beginning to shake from the extra weight while steering to get the best angle for Percival's bats.

A heavy whump echoed from behind her as the seventh year sent another Bludger sailing towards some pour soul with a Mahoutokoro jersey on. She winced as it made direct contact and a girl was sent flying from her broom. It was very much decided. Avis would be doing everything in her power to avoid facing off against the Slytherin beater this coming season.

The intrusive thought of just dumping him off the broom now and getting rid of him pre-season suddenly snuck into the back of her head but she grimaced and waved it off. Besides, she was starting to enjoy being a sidekick for now. It was like spectating but with an unbeatable view.

The Ravenclaw began to settle in a bit, watching the chaos of the game take place as the team's bodyguard continued his onslaught. The other Chasers managed to bag another 5 goals and yet another Mahou player dropped like a rock. Avis winced theatrically. Yep, this was actually quite nice. All she was missing was the impossibly greasy buttered popcorn she'd had at a Muggle movie theater once.

And another two bit the dust. Welp.

Kanae had been seeing her teammates drop like flies. She sighed as she finished her penalty lap and saw the 20 point difference. About to be be 170 if they let this be. Okay. They weren’t dead yet -- but the gap was growing, and morale was plummeting faster than that poor third-year that just got decimated.

She looked around seeing less than half of her teammates still on their broom -- mostly consisting of her fellow fourth years (and of course Chiaki-senpai). She waved to her upperclassman as they got on the pitch.

Perhaps it was because they lost their upper years first? Or were they just that bad?

She contemplated a bit before shaking her head and gripping her broomstick. She saw Miharu trying to blatch someone but that someone got saved (unfortunately).

Man, how could they salvage this? Would probably take a miracle. (hail/curse tatsu)

Kanae hovered for a moment, her brows furrowed as she took in the chaotic state of the pitch. She could already hear her brother’s voice in her head commenting dryly, “Well, at least you’re getting cardio.”

She let out a small, sharp exhale through her nose -- not quite a laugh, not quite a sigh. Just the sound of quiet frustration bottled up into something palatable.

This does not stack. Chaser's Interception Reducio When a Quaffle is being passed by the opponent team, users with this ability automatically get a 10% chance to intercept the quaffle as long as the user is taking a quaffle-related action during that quidditch round. Note: a quaffle cannot be intercepted twice in one quaffle round (there are five quaffle rounds in one quidditch round). Foulplay Reducio When preforming a foul, this player has a 25% chance the foul goes unnoticed by the referee causing the player to not have to take a penalty lap.

This game just went from good to even better.

Callum sat forward on the bench, his heart pounding in his chest. Hogwarts had just scored five times with the Quaffle, bringing the team ahead with a score of 60 points to 40. Mahou’s team was getting torn apart, with two more of their players knocked off their brooms by a ricocheting bludger, courtesy from Percival.

“Brutal,” he muttered.

Once again, Callum was supposed to be discussing strategy with Aly, but the game was just too exciting to ignore. Then, things got messier. Damien was blatched and fell off his broom but was lucky enough to be saved by Beatrice. Unfortunately for the Mahou Chaser, they were called for a foul and now had to perform a penalty lap.

Callum couldn’t wait for the day when he would be part of the action—dodging bludgers, chasing the Snitch, and feeling the wind tear past his face. But for now, the bench was his home, and honestly, he couldn’t ask for a better seat. From here, he had the perfect view of every dazzling play, every gasp from the crowd, and every moment when the game teetered between victory and disaster. And Merlin, it was addictive.

It unfortunately wasn't looking too good for Mahou. Chiaki was by far no expert in quidditch, but seeing that about half her team had fallen from the sky, she could assume it wasn't looking the best for them right now. Especially looking over at the opposing team's bench, where all of their benched players still remained. She hoped that the team could pull itself together when it came time for the actual official game - Mahou carried a lot of pride in its sports, but this wasn't the best showing of what she knew they were capable of.

She couldn't attempt to hide the slight grimace as Jamie was knocked from her broom - she knew enough to know that having no beaters in the air was a pretty concerning place to be. Not completely helpless, but definitely not preferable either. Once Maria had also fallen, it took Chiaki a second to realise that this meant she would need to step up. Her hopes of sitting by and watching the game unfortunately were no longer. With a slight sigh under her breath, she grabbed her broom and took to the sky, trying to remember what she could from what the team had talked about in case this were to happen.

And… they are still not doing great. How many players had they lost already? The game was just in its early phase and here they are lacking players on the field already. They will all fall to the ground before that snitch is caught. It’s gonna be hard trying to get the situation into their favor. Despite the disappointment and perhaps the lack of hope of winning, Miharu still needs to keep playing.

What to do though. Grab the Quaffle and score as much as possible? That’s one plan. The other was to go on the offensive, like what their opponents had been doing and compared to them, they had more luck in that department considering their Beaters are still in the game and Mahoutokoro’s aren’t and are probably on their way to wherever they are gonna be healed. The last time she did something though to help out, it failed miserably and even if she does something now, would that change something? It doesn’t look like it’ll do anything.

Whatever. Might as well do something than nothing.

Eyes on the target and that is one of the Chaser of the other team. She leaned forward, going as fast as possible for a more powerful impact to compensate for her own lack of strength. Perhaps her momentum would be enough to knock someone off of their broom and that she won’t end up falling off herself. They had enough knocked out players already, the best she could do is try to stay in the air as long as possible. Her hold tightened as she braced for the impact. The worst part in blatching someone is seeing them being saved. Perhaps this wasn’t the best action to take this time but again, it was better than nothing.

In addition, rounds where you are successfully carrying the quaffle in an attempt to score, you only take half-damage from bludgers and blatching attempts.
