Witch Special

"Atmospheric Shield", a magic that is basically useless now, its effect is to deflect incoming long-range physical attacks.

Just by looking at the explanation, you should be able to guess what this magic is used to deal with.

That's right, in ancient times before the Muggle-Repelling Charm was invented, wizards had to face persecution from the Church, punitive actions from overlords, and even the ill will of the ignorant masses. For ordinary people to harm a wizard, they had to resort to massive numbers and bows and arrows.

In order to defend against the arrows that are most likely to cause harm to themselves, ancient wizards invented the "Atmospheric Shield", a magic that increases the repulsive force as the distance gets closer, and eventually deflects the arrows.

Then why did the "Atmospheric Shield" decline? It became a completely useless and forgotten magic.

The invention of the Muggle-Repelling Charm freed wizards from Muggle harassment. However, the Atmospheric Shield, because its principle was purely physical, could not block the magic of other wizards. While physical phenomena caused by magic could be blocked, such as someone using the Repulse Charm to fling a large amount of gravel at you, in such situations, armor was obviously more convenient and more comprehensive. Why bother with an Atmospheric Shield that only protected against physical attacks and was not very effective?

Therefore, demand determines supply. When something lags behind the times, no matter how good its quality is, it is destined to be eliminated.

You're right, right? Kodak film.

However, the atmospheric shield's ability to offset rather than resist forces made it ideal for use as a buffer. As long as Lin Zhenxi enveloped herself in the atmospheric shield's magical gas and shifted its force offset from outward to inward, it would provide a flexible support for Lin Zhenxi's body, preventing her posture from drastically changing in a short period of time.

Modify the magical configuration of the atmospheric shield, turning its repulsive force from outward to inward, and then use this modified magical gas to wrap his body. This small modification involving only one parameter was simple, and Lin Zhenxin completed it easily in his mind.

After being enveloped by the magical gas, Lin Zhenxi felt as if she were immersed in some kind of liquid, yet she could still breathe normally. Furthermore, the atmospheric shield's gas was only slightly whitish, with almost no effect on her vision. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi only saw slightly blurry objects in the distance, which did not affect her ability to clearly see the surrounding scenery.

The effect is good, so let's try it out. Lin Zhenxi moved her mind, and the broom under her butt flew up. This time, although Lin Zhenxi still felt a sense of being pushed, her body remained stable, and the previous situation did not occur at all.

Great, it worked. But every time I want to ride... no, now I'm sitting on it. Do I have to pull out my wand and cast an air shield before I can sit on it? That seems too cumbersome.

Therefore, the best way is to integrate the atmospheric shield and the magic broom together, just like the safety seat of a smart car. As long as you sit on it, it will start automatically, fix the passenger, and provide cushioning for the passenger.

Lin Zhenxi is planning to carve the magic circle of the Atmospheric Shield on the seat. As long as it senses someone sitting on it, the Atmospheric Shield will automatically activate.

Now that the problem of twisting his neck was gone, Lin Zhenxi began to test the flight performance of this new magic broom with peace of mind. First, straight line acceleration!

When Lin Zhenxi used his mind to control the magic broom to fly forward at full speed, the butt of the magic broom instantly sprayed out a large amount of blue-purple stardust, and at the same time carried Lin Zhenxi like a purple comet, flying forward at high speed.

Lin Zhenxi originally thought that simply adding a thruster would increase the speed, but even if it did, it wouldn't make a big difference. However, reality told Lin Zhenxi that this wasn't simply a matter of doubling the speed.

With Lin Zhenxi's high-quality magic power supply, the excellent aerodynamic shape and atmospheric shield that reduced the influence of air resistance, and the blessing of more than double the power, Lin Zhenxi directly used this new magic broom to fly at a speed much faster than the previous one.

Lin Zhenxi had no idea how fast she was going. Her dynamic vision was so impaired that she couldn't see the ground clearly. All reference points seemed stretched into colored lines. Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi had considered the impact of the sonic boom and flew upwards. If she hadn't been high enough, the ground would have been in chaos by now.

I don’t know if Teacher Patchouli can save Lin Zhenxi if she causes a riot.

Despite her rapid speed, Lin Zhenxi hadn't lost control of the magic broom. She remembered that the Courtyard of the Dead was enclosed within a large barrier, a rather narrow space. If she continued flying straight ahead, she would likely collide with the barrier and, like a can of ketchup thrown against a wall, shatter everywhere.

Danger, danger, we must turn.

Lin Zhenxi then controlled the magic broom and began testing its turning capabilities. Because of its high speed, the new magic broom had a large turning radius. As it turned, Lin Zhenxi finally noticed the broom continuously spraying bluish-purple stardust backwards. These were actually magic threads that had broken off after growing to a certain limit. Although they had lost contact with their source, some magic power still remained within them. As this magic power dissipated, it caused the magic threads to continue to glow, resulting in the bluish-purple glowing debris.

After all, magic threads have no substance. As the magic power inside dissipates, they will melt directly into the air, just like snowflakes, so there is no need to worry about causing any environmental pollution to the ground.

Always great attention to detail in strange places...

After measuring the acceleration performance, turning radius, climb and dive data, Lin Zhenxi already had an idea of ​​his new broom.

The straight-line acceleration is amazing! If we look at the 0-100 km/h acceleration, the original broom took about three seconds, while this one takes less than two. And that's just the acceleration; the most terrifying thing about this broom is its cruising speed.

At the cost of nearly five times the magic power consumption, the speed was tripled.

Does it sound disproportionate? Speed ​​and acceleration don't have a simple linear relationship. Otherwise, universities wouldn't have a course called Aerodynamics, and countless college students wouldn't fail it every year.

The magic broom's cruising speed in level flight was already close to the speed of sound, and if it dived from a high altitude, it could break the sound barrier. But now this broom's cruising speed is three times that of the original one. What a concept!

Three times the speed of sound, nearly one kilometer per second, this speed is almost the same as the flying speed of a cannonball. Ordinary bullets are not as fast as the cruising speed of this broom.

And this is cruising speed... What is cruising speed? It is the optimal operating condition without putting any strain on the body, similar to the state of a car shifting into fifth gear and lightly pressing the accelerator.

If the accelerator is pressed directly into the fuel tank, the speed will be even higher. But Lin Zhenxi no longer dares to test it.

In that state, she was basically riding on a missile. If the missile fell apart, what would become of her?

Although it was exciting just thinking about it, it was too exciting. Lin Zhenxi's fragile little heart seemed unable to hold it.

Even at cruising speed, Lin Zhenxi felt a bit too wealthy. She really didn't need such a fast vehicle. She seemed to have unintentionally created a numerical monster.

With enough thrust, even a brick can fly. The manhole cover propelled by a nuclear explosion at over 200 times the speed of sound is the simplest and most striking example. How heavy can a magic broom be? Even with a person on board, it only weighs 200 kilograms at most. Compared to airplanes that can weigh tens, even hundreds, of tons, it's a fraction of a fraction.

Even a plane that big and heavy could fly at supersonic speeds, so it would be strange if Lin Zhenxi couldn't do the same with just a magic broom. However, that kind of speed was obviously not something a human could control, so she'd better be more careful with this broom in the future.

Of course, after talking about the advantages, the next step is to talk about the disadvantages.

Oh, actually there is nothing much to say, except for the speed, all are disadvantages.

After all, Lin Zhenxi is not a professional magic broom designer. She cannot design an operating system specifically for this double-hair heavy-duty magic broom. She still uses the same system as the single-hair magic broom, without any changes.

However, it was obvious that attaching the handle of a broom with only one tail to a two-tailed one would cause compatibility issues. When Lin Zhenxi used her mind to control the magic broom, she felt a noticeable lag. Aside from acceleration and deceleration, all movements were very stiff. She couldn't turn freely or perform various complex aerial maneuvers as before.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi didn't need any of that; she just wanted a means of transportation, not some aerial acrobatics on a magic broom. So even if it had a hundred flaws, as long as the speed was up to par, it was perfect for her.

So... where am I now? Lin Zhenxi identified the direction and planned to run away quickly.

Clearly, she'd made quite a racket as she sped through the Garden of the Dead on her magic broom. Physically, she'd broken the sound barrier at least three times, and the sonic boom from supersonic flight could shatter glass. The Garden of the Dead was only about that size, so the entire area must have heard her.

With Lin Zhenxi's strength, he obviously shouldn't be so ostentatious.
