Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

The specific learning process is lackluster.

Just as shown in the original trajectory, some people succeed at once, while others' brooms roll on the ground and are unwilling to get up.

After repeated orders, brooms jumped into everyone's hands.

Madam Hooch then demonstrated how to ride a broom without sliding off the front, and then she walked around correcting everyone's grip.

"Pushing the ground with your feet is taking off, and raising the head of the broom is ascending;

Lean your body slightly forward and press the broom downward;

Keeping your body close to the broom handle is galloping forward;

Pulling the body backwards is braking, and leaning the body left or right is turning.

Okay, now, everyone pay attention!

When I blow the whistle, you push off the ground with your feet, rise a few feet, and then slowly fall back to the ground.

Listen to my command, three, two, one, get up! "

Everyone slowly flew up.

To be honest, Sainz felt a little uneasy when he left the ground for the first time. He practiced the shock-absorbing spell before school started to prevent this moment.

Fortunately, since the invention of the flying broom, all aspects have become relatively mature. The "Sweep" series used for teaching in the academy is notoriously easy to control, and his shock-absorbing spell has no place to be used.

There are not many students like Hermione Granger, and there are not many students like Neville Longbottom either!

Therefore, no student broke their arm during the teaching process.

Although there were some bumps and bruises, everyone finally learned how to fly a broomstick safely and smoothly.

Even though the broomstick looks bare, it was actually bare in the past.

It was not until 1820, when Elio Smythe invented the cushion charm, that comfort was greatly improved.

This is what Sainz saw when he was reading "Quidditch Through the Ages" in the library.

Come to think of it, the wizards of the past were truly warriors.

In the earliest times, there were no uniform standard brooms. When people traveled, they would simply cast a spell on their own brooms, step on them and go out.

The flight control at that time was also crude, it was just ascending, moving forward, and landing, and every year there were people falling off the brooms.

At that time, all kinds of fancy flying moves were impossible.

After watching "Quidditch: The Legend of Quidditch", he discovered that the entire history of the development of broomstick games is a process of wizards happily committing suicide.

There was a period when the game of balancing a crucible on one's head was popular in some local areas. The players would balance a crucible on their heads and ride on a broom to catch stones falling from a height of one hundred feet. Whoever had more stones in the pot at the end would win.

Scottish wizards considered this the greatest test of manliness and courage and it was particularly popular in the Middle Ages.

Eventually, due to the high casualty rate, it was declared an illegal sport in 1762.

An eleventh-century poem puts it this way:

Twelve athletes gathered at the stadium

Crucible on the belt waiting to fly

At the command, rush to the sky,

Ten heroes are doomed to die.

This is simply shocking to Sainz for a hundred years. This is not a competition of whose skills are better, this is a competition of whose physique is stronger.

No wonder wizards are always seen as crazy in the minds of ordinary people. If not crazy, what else could they be?

The crucible on the head is indeed outrageous, and other broom games are not necessarily safe.

There are also aerial collisions similar to knight duels, where the goal is to knock as many other wizards off their brooms as possible, and the one who remains in the air wins.

Perhaps the wizards themselves felt that these dangerous games were not conducive to sustainable development, so they finally chose Quidditch, which is cause for celebration.

Flying has always been a desire deeply rooted in the human soul, and few people can truly resist it.

Sainz naturally also longs for that feeling of freedom.

The flying broom is pretty good, but it's not good enough.

Further east, wizards in the Arab world prefer flying carpets.

There was relatively little communication between Hogwarts and the Far East, and there was relatively little introduction to Far Eastern wizards in the library. He had no idea what kind of flying tools the wizards there preferred.

However, deep down, Sainz's understanding of flying is still vague.

No matter what, you have to be able to fly like a fairy with a sword!

Riding a broom?

It's a bit awkward!

There are historical reasons why broomsticks became popular in Europe, as they were shaped by witch hunts in the Middle Ages.

The wizards at that time needed a means of transportation that was convenient to use but easy to conceal, so the broom, which no one paid too much attention to, came into the wizards' sight.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Sainz looked down at Hogwarts from a height of nearly 100 meters for the first time. The towering castle, the amber shining with the luster of black pearls, the opaque forbidden forest, and the continuous mountains in the distance were all in sight.

Cool! ! !

Happy times are always short-lived, lasting only an hour. It was also the only flying lesson at Hogwarts and ended in everyone's excitement.

First graders are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks.

Now that they have mastered the art of flying a broomstick, if any young wizard aspires to join the Quidditch team in the second grade, he or she can only use these "masters" of who knows how many years old in the Hogwarts broom shed to train their butts in their spare time after school.

Sainz had long admitted that he had no interest in Quidditch, and he seemed to have no interest in any ball game, except billiards.

get out of class ends at 3:00 p.m., so there is plenty of time.

With the Room of Requirement as a place where one can practice spells at will, the effect of practicing in just a few days far exceeds the efforts of the forty days before school starts.

He felt that he could carry out his own limited-time mission this weekend.

There is no time to hurry. Ben Stebbins, the "gossip girl" in the dormitory, revealed to his two roommates that two troublemakers had come to Gryffindor this year. Less than a week after school started, they had been punished by Filch twice for trying to change his cat to a prettier color.

Given the twins' reckless nature, they might be locked up in Filch's office one day, and then they would most likely discover the square piece of old parchment.

In the original storyline, the twins set off dung bombs in the corridor, which annoyed Filch, so he locked them in his office and threatened to cut them open. Then the two of them saw the drawer with the words "Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous" written on it.

Humans are living beings, and we cannot mechanically bet that this time it will still be because of the dung bomb rather than other reasons.

He has been practicing day after day since he bought the book, and now his illusion technique has begun to have practical value.

As long as the movement speed is not too fast, the outline of the figure can basically be seen at a distance that is a little far.

If combined with the low light environment at night, it should be no problem to deceive someone who is not deliberately searching.

Sainz felt that perhaps he subconsciously rejected such a setting, his levitation spell could float a two-ton stone target, but still could not make himself float.

There was no choice but to compromise and cast the spell on other objects.

After verifying the fabric for the whole body, he finally chose to use it on shoes that were not easy to control.

A person's center of gravity is basically at the waist. In terms of stability, the floating spell applied on the belt or underwear, or simply on the armpits, is much stronger than applying it on the shoes.

However, the reality is that the levitation spell cast in these places would be like a wire rope, holding up his body, which looks not strong but actually weighs 120 kilograms.

He didn't want to experience that scene a second time.

The problem is using the shoes to get off the ground, like someone who has never skated on ice suddenly putting on roller skates.

I can only say that Sainz practiced very seriously and the process was very hard~~
