Rest a moment, for next you must face 'it'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of Madam Hooch's wand, a wooden frame appeared from the broom shed, filled with golf balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean watched as Madam Hooch tossed one upward; the ball seemed enchanted, thrown with incredible speed and height, hovering momentarily in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall witch who had just stood beside Madam Hooch had already vanished, leaving Wizard Sean to silently retrieve a potion from his bag and gulp it down—he had seen nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean placed the empty bottle back in his bag; Professor Snape's potion tasted like some kind of fruit juice, vastly different from the sticky, bitter flavor of the Enhancing Potion described in textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formula Wizard Sean dared not violate in the slightest became, in Professor Snape's hands, like a Boggart tailored specifically for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean would see terrifying potion explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Professor Snape would merely sneer, \"Riddikulus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch naturally noticed this scene; she raised an eyebrow, looking at the young wizard a few extra times as if she had discovered something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wizard Sean's flying proficiency had reached:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flying Technique: Novice (190\u002F270)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Advancement: Skilled Flying Technique.

if not caught, it would slowly descend to the ground as if sinking through water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean's task was to catch it while still mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was undoubtedly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it was not overly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind whistled past Wizard Sean's ears; his figure sliced through the blue sky like a falcon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed now approached the broom's limit; the broom seemed on the verge of collapsing multiple times, yet Wizard Sean remained utterly unperturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For it was not only the old broom that had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Astonishing talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch watched the young wizard snatch the golf ball, embracing the clouds as he slid down from the azure horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In merely three attempts, he had transformed from being somewhat at a loss to catching it steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Green, you are destined to become a Seeker star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch gazed at Wizard Sean for a long time, her expression somewhat complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a fine young lad; why did he not like Quidditch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Nearly seventy percent of early fouls were committed by Seekers, with various despicable methods emerging endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance: \"Burning the opponent's broom tail,\" \"Striking the opponent's broom with a bat,\" and \"Axe attacks on opponents\" were merely appetizers.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Content from \"Quidditch Through the Ages\" surfaced in Wizard Sean's mind; if there were a rattle drum here, it would surely be Wizard Sean's little head shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next week, I will conduct your flying test,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch said helplessly, hands on her hips as she prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First-year wizards may apply for the test opportunity only once, so remember to bring a new broom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Comet 160... it should be in the broom shed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spoken, Madam Hooch departed, leaving Wizard Sean somewhat confused and worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was he to find a Nimbus 1500?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single Ravenclaw dared to speak in the afternoon classroom,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for this lesson was Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Minerva McGonagall involuntarily cast her gaze upon Wizard Sean for the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely undistracted, waving his wand; the mouse transformed into a snuffbox one moment, then reverted the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This continued until Wizard Sean's face turned pale, and he began flipping through \"Intermediate Transfiguration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borrowed from the Hogwarts library, this book cost two Jin Jin Jialong; its difference from \"A Beginner's Making Guide to Transfiguration\" was that the central bead within the gold pattern had changed from red to green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed many transfiguration spells: for instance, how to transform a teapot into a turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key to this transformation lay in whether the turtle's tail emitted steam, or if the resulting turtle still possessed a shell composed of willow patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or transforming a slipper into a Bai Tu, where the focus was on whether the Bai Tu's ears were complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These transformations all seemed to emphasize turning an \"inanimate object\" into a \"living creature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall's answer after class confirmed Wizard Sean's hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elementary transfiguration allows the mutual transformation of things that cannot move independently;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intermediate transfiguration involves converting movable items into immovable ones, or vice versa;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Advanced transfiguration, that is the mutual transformation between two movable items, such as turning a turtle into a rabbit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall seemed quite satisfied with Wizard Sean's question; an interest in probing the essence of magic always helped wizards go further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Green, remember—the more advanced the transfiguration, the greater the power required; therefore, do not attempt it casually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Wizard Sean and handed him a set of notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading them carefully, Wizard Sean naturally took out his wand to begin practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes burned intensely as he stared at the teapot, following the professor's notes to imagine the attributes a turtle should possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transfiguration was a dangerous branch of magic; performing it before the professor was obviously safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, even if Wizard Sean turned himself into a badger, the professor could assist him quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the original story once featured a young wizard who accidentally transformed his friend into a badger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Professor McGonagall, if the Reversal Spell was not cast quickly, that young wizard might remain a badger for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireplace in the office crackled and popped; outside, noisy sounds drifted from the Quidditch pitch, and even in the corridors, young wizards played Wizard Chess, with pieces occasionally shouting \"Aha!\" or \"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, Wizard Sean had practiced until exhausted; in his hand, a dark green little turtle was crawling, emitting steam from the base of its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panel's voice sounded multiple times:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You practiced an in-depth Intermediate Transfiguration to the Apprentice standard.
