Chapter 164: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 74
Only when he started did he realize what the description on the panel meant:
【Significantly increase perception of flying broom magic, significantly improve flight talent, slightly improve short-term explosive power for flight】
His magic felt as if it were surging; the magic triggering the Acceleration Charm suddenly increased by a large margin, yet he still saw the Quaffle clearly, and even remained at ease during the sudden speed boost.
In less than ten seconds, Sean had caught the first Quaffle—the standard time given was a full three minutes.
Once the Quaffle was gripped, it adhered tightly to Sean's hand. Sean knew this was because of the Gripping Charm invented by wizards in 1875.
Sean swept across the ground at high speed and placed the Quaffle into the hoop in front of Madam Hooch.
"Very good!"
Madam Hooch shouted at him,
"Second one!"
"Cool!"
In the stands, Luo Jie waved his fist excitedly, and Xiang Hemin's face also turned red with excitement,
"It's too terrifying..."
Luo Jie suddenly said,
"If I hadn't seen the notice and missed Sean's test—my god, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"
Xiang Hemin rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this.
Both of their attention fell back onto Sean.
The second Quaffle was clearly much faster and more nimble than the first; it even moved back and forth around the poles.
However, this was still simple for Sean.
"Third one!"
Two minutes later, Madam Hooch shouted somewhat excitedly,
"Watch closely! Catch this Quaffle! You still have twelve minutes!"
The flight test required fifteen minutes. Logically, the time allocated to the young wizards being tested should be one minute, five minutes, and nine minutes.
But Sean was clearly far beyond the level of young wizards tested in the past.
He was more than twice as fast.
This also made Madam Hooch feel even more regretful.
What a good Quidditch prospect.
At this time, a tall Gryffindor brought a group of Gryffindors over. On the way, he was still preaching:
"We will be the strongest team, stronger than any other house, because we train harder than them and have flown in all kinds of weather environments—"
Marcus Maige said.
"So true,"
George Wei Silai said,
"My clothes haven't been dry since August."
"—We also have the strongest Seeker, and a brand new Nimbus 2000,"
Marcus Maige's chest heaved with excitement. He turned to Harry.
"It's all up to you, Harry, show your talent.
Today, you either catch the Golden Snitch or die on the pitch."
"So don't feel pressured, Harry."
Fred winked at him and said.
... Harry felt it was hard not to feel pressured.
At this moment, Madam Hooch was completely excited.
It could be said that Sean was taught by her personally. Watching the other party darting left and right between two Bludgers, approaching the Quaffle step by step, her heart, which was burning for Quidditch, surged again.
The nature of the Bludger meant that its speed was fastest in the initial stage; after all, there were no Beaters here to accelerate it for him.
The vast majority of young wizards who passed the flight test were dragging the Bludgers until their speed decreased before going to catch the Quaffle. This was also the reason why there had to be a time limit.
And Sean? He was going head-to-head with the Bludgers, using extreme speed and skilled techniques to dodge them all.
Madam Hooch completely forgot that she hadn't told Sean that the Bludgers would gradually slow down, and Sean, who had caught the Quaffle quickly, hadn't noticed this either.
"Believe in yourself, Mr. Green! Accelerate!"
Watching the young wizard display high explosive power, like a meteor streaking across the sky, Madam Hooch seemed to have returned to the passionate pitch of the past,
"Accelerate! Turn! Mr. Green! You can definitely do it!"
Madam Hooch's unusual performance stunned Marcus Maige. He didn't even know whether he should approach for a moment:
"Mr. Green?"
He muttered to himself,
"Does anyone here know him?"
"I... I might know."
At this moment, Harry couldn't believe his eyes.
Sean Green, no first-year young wizard wouldn't know this name; he had achieved excellence in almost all subjects.
Not only was he favored by Professor Marcus Maige, but even Professor Sineipu wouldn't scold him, and would even add some points to Ravenclaw.
This was already incredible.
And his notes were what impressed the young wizards the most.
Luo En would shout in the dormitory every weekend:
"Without Green's notes I'm going to die... oh no, I will definitely die, die in those long essays on History of Magic..."
At this moment, in the azure sky.
Sean had already ridden his broom to approach the last Quaffle. Amidst a crowd of bewildered gazes, he burst forth again, relying on speed to shake off the Bludgers,
and caught the Quaffle with a speed that exceeded almost all Hogwarts Seekers.
Harry and the others heard Madam Hooch clapping:
"Very good! Mr. Green! You passed the flight test with a perfect score!"
At this moment, two exclamations came from the stands. Harry saw that Hufflepuff—that is, Luo Jie—was so excited he almost fell off the stands, and was then helplessly grabbed by his robes by Xiang Hemin.
"This... Green, Harry, tell me, is he a Gryffindor?!"
Marcus Maige was a bit dazed, and then he thought of something and asked.
"He is a Ravenclaw..."
Harry said in a low voice.
"Oh, alright, Harry, we have to start training, quick!"
Marcus Maige said urgently,
"Get familiar with your Nimbus 2000, you are still the strongest Seeker!"
"Perhaps not."
Fred looked at the young wizard who had just descended.
"Another Nimbus 2000."
George took over the words.
"Truly surprising."
"Feels a bit strange."
"Ravenclaw seems to be better than us."
"Are we going to fail in the next Quidditch match?"
"Shut up! You two!"
Marcus Maige lost his temper,
and his roar made the twins stop talking, turning instead to look at Sean and exchange winks.
George only took a second to understand what Fred meant:
Go find him.
