Chapter 162: Spell Learning Plan

Sunday.

Inside the classroom.

Sean heard the Hogwarts bell ring. He naturally put away his notes and picked up the Nimbus 2000.

He knew the flight test had begun. Although his flight proficiency had already reached 'Skilled', it, along with his 'Expert' level Levitation Charm and 'Skilled' level Transfiguration, constituted the magic with his highest proficiency currently.

But he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous; after all, there was only one chance.

He had been at Hogwarts for a long time, and he had achieved certain results in every branch of magic.

'Skilled' level Transfiguration, one 'Expert' level spell, five 'Entry' level spells, and the Finite Incantatem he was about to learn.

To be safe, Sean prepared to grind Finite Incantatem directly to the 'Expert' level.

As for longer-term goals, such as the Shield Charm or Apparition, Sean didn't think Professor Fuliwei would teach him so quickly.

Moreover, Sean's spell title was still only 'Entry', so he was also preparing to pick three spells to grind to 'Expert'. With the blessing of a new title, the speed of learning difficult spells would surely be much faster.

As his specialty, Transfiguration was not far from the 'Expert' level either.

So Sean opened his panel:

【Name: Sean Green】

【Identity: Wizard】

【Title: Spell Entry, Transfiguration Mastery】

【Proficiency】

【Levitation Charm: Expert Level (200/9000)】

【Lumos: Entry Level (600/900)】

【Advancement: Six 'Skilled' level spells or three 'Expert' level spells can unlock the Spell Domain 'Skilled' level title】

Pick three 'Expert' level spells?

Sean thought.

Besides Finite Incantatem, he needed one more spell.

He pondered for a few seconds. He already possessed offensive means—Transfiguration—and after learning Finite Incantatem, he would also have defensive means. So, learning some concealment methods, like the Disillusionment Charm, might be good.

He hadn't checked the panel in a long time, so he continued to look down:

【Transfiguration: Skilled Level (6100/9000)】

【Advancement: 'Expert' level Transfiguration can unlock the Transfiguration Domain 'Expert' level title】

【Wizard Talent】 【Potions: Green】 【Herbology: Green】 【Spells: Blue】 【Transfiguration: Purple】 【Dark Arts: Gold】 【Flight: Gold】

Compared to before entering Hogwarts, it was a world of difference.

Sunday afternoon, the weather was sunny and cold.

Sean carried his Nimbus 2000 and went to the changing room to change clothes,

although it was just his school uniform, as he didn't have any other cold-weather clothing.

At the same time, in the changing room, Harry and the other team members were putting on their bright red Quidditch robes.

Sean heard a familiar voice once again:

It was Marcus Maige, who cleared his throat to let everyone quiet down.

"Alright, lads."

He said.

"And lasses."

A clear female voice said.

"And lasses."

Marcus Maige agreed,

"It's time."

"We are going to have important training."

A voice that wasn't Marcus Maige's said. Sean looked over along the curtain blown by the wind; it turned out to be Fred Wei Silai speaking.

"Every training session is for the moment we have all been waiting for."

George took over the words and said.

"We already know Oliver's speech by heart,"

Fred and George said together to the bewildered Harry,

"We were on the team last year."

"Shut up, you two."

Marcus Maige said,

"This is the best team Gryffindor has had in years. We must train seriously for the best chance!"

He glared fiercely at everyone, as if saying: "You'll be in for it if you don't."

"We all know."

Fred lowered his voice, and while Marcus Maige turned his head, he continued to whisper to Harry,

"Harry, you are the best Seeker currently."

"No young wizard is stronger than you."

This was George speaking.

"You also have the latest Nimbus 2000. Merlin, the whole school only has you with one."

Then it was Fred, who looked enviously at Harry's broom, making Harry blush quite a bit.

"Alright, now look at the tactics properly. Once that young wizard's flight test is over, it's our turn to go on!"

Listening to their words, Sean silently quickened his pace.

Madam Hooch was already waiting for him on the Quidditch pitch. She took out an iron ball and then said to Sean:

"The test content is simple: go catch those Quaffles and dodge these Bludgers. You have fifteen minutes of test time. Catch three Quaffles and dodge all the Bludgers, and you succeed..."

She finished stating the rules crisply, then observed Sean, and softened her tone slightly as she said,

"Don't be afraid of being truly hit; I will be watching you the whole time. However, if I truly have to intervene, your test is considered a failure! Alright, Mr. Green, what are you waiting for? Get on your broom and go up for two warm-up laps first!"

Sean suppressed his nervousness and, slightly excited, got on his broom.

When his feet left the ground, Sean calmed down instantly. He first flew two laps around the Quidditch pitch, and then made a few simple turns with the broomstick.

Just as he was flying fluently, two sneaky figures appeared in the stands.

"Luo Jie, are you sure this is the time?"

Xiang Hemin scanned the area and found she couldn't find the young wizard at all; there were only a few blurry figures flying back and forth on the pitch—the Quidditch pitch hadn't been cleared yet at this time.

"I see Sean!"

Luo Jie said loudly.

Xiang Hemin looked over suspiciously, but there was only a blurry shadow—the flying speed was too fast.

Luo Jie handed a pair of binoculars to Xiang Hemin, and this time Xiang Hemin saw Sean's face clearly.

"How did you see it clearly?

Also, do you have another pair of binoculars..."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Jie waved the binoculars in his hand:

"Exactly two pairs; Mother's consideration is always thorough."

"Alright, Mr. Green!"

Sean saw Madam Hooch waving her arms significantly,

"Now watch closely, I am going to release the Bludgers, just like we practiced before, dodge them!"

Sean saw Madam Hooch throw the ball high up, and the ball zoomed towards him.

Bludgers are magical balls. In Quidditch, they don't distinguish between right and wrong; they chase whichever athlete they encounter.

They used to be made of stone, however, these spherical stones had a major flaw:

They would be shattered by the powerful magical bats of fifteenth-century Beaters. If this happened, all athletes would be chased by flying stone fragments in the subsequent match.

Agatha Chub, an expert on ancient magical products, wrote this:

"Without a doubt, they are Bludgers, not cannonballs."

And if left to their own devices, they would attack the Quidditch athlete closest to them. Therefore, Beaters appeared; the Beaters' task is to hit the Bludgers as far away from their own team as possible.

And Sean clearly had no Beater. ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
