Chapter 470 Qiu Zhang's Special Training on the Flying Curse (Part 1)
As a senior witch, Cho Chang had learned this spell, but she was not very familiar with its accuracy.
This spell is not commonly used and its application is very limited: it cannot be used on buildings and has no effect on living beings.
Although movement can be achieved indirectly through items worn or held by the summoner, this method of summoning is dangerous.
Because they move at near the speed of light, they may get injured in the process.
Furthermore, the farther the summoned creature is from the caster, the more difficult it is to summon.
However, the difficulty varies from person to person. For example, the intelligent and lovely Miss Granger once said that the distance of the summoned creature is not important. As long as the caster is clear-headed and free from distractions, he should be able to summon it easily.
This sounds more like a Versailles for academic high-achievers.
The limitations and difficulty of this curse mean that it doesn't often appear in exam content. In the WL exam, it's only reviewed by fifth-grade students before the exam.
However, as a fifth-grader, Akio is not yet in the review stage for the 0.WL exam. It's only the beginning of the semester, and it's been a long time since she last used this spell.
At this moment, Cho Chang stood in the practice area inside his briefcase, his wand slightly warm to the touch.
She took a deep breath, raised her wand again, stared at a book not far away, and tried to concentrate.
"It flew here!"
The book flew towards her faster than she expected, heading straight for her face. Qiu Zhang quickly turned her head, and the book grazed her shoulder before hitting the ground with a dull thud.
She frowned, picked up the book, and put it back in its place.
"That's the problem—" she murmured to herself, gently stroking her wand.
She can cast the Summoning Spell, but she lacks control over it—the summoned creature is too fast and its direction is unstable.
If she were to rashly use this spell during the competition, she might not succeed in taking the dragon egg, but could instead smash it, or even enrage the enormous creature.
Sean stood not far away, watching the scene with great interest, until Qiu Zhang was panting heavily, at which point he thoughtfully handed her a bottle of water.
"Don't rush," he encouraged. "You've done very well." He pointed to the book she had put back in its place. "The fact that you were able to make it fly back shows that you can control it. The key now is to adjust your mindset and stabilize your emotions."
Qiu Zhang frowned. "I can feel it flying, but it's always too fast and too unstable. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, the dragon egg will fly away or break, and at that moment, I might be finished."
Sean was silent for a moment, then walked behind her and said softly, "You know, the difficulty in controlling the Summoning Charm mainly stems from your intentions. If you want it to fly here, you have to genuinely believe that it can fly here safely. Many times, the problem isn't the magic itself, but whether you can completely let go of your anxiety and accept that you can control it."
Qiu Zhang bit his lip, the scene of the competition flashing before his eyes—the enormous dragon, the raging flames, and the tense gazes of the entire arena.
After a long while, she turned to look at Sean.
"Professor, do you have any methods to help me train quickly?"
"certainly."
Almost immediately, Sean answered decisively.
"I've already prepared everything for you."
A few days ago, Sean had already realized that at this moment, both Harry and Cho Chang would definitely need his help.
For Sean, the size and capacity of the briefcase were no longer an issue.
This is more than just an ordinary briefcase.
When you look down at it from above, you can see a spectacle like a Hollywood movie set. Each area is separated by stone walls in a staggered manner, almost like the set of a modern film studio. The briefcase is divided in two, and it looks like it has been divided into independent areas, each with its own unique function.
Behind this is all thanks to the Seamless Stretching Spell that Sean constantly uses.
Each time the spell is cast, the size and shape of the briefcase change silently, leaving no trace. These subtle magical adjustments allow this seemingly ordinary briefcase to have enough space to accommodate and organize various locations.
Sean was often amazed by the wonders of the Seamless Expansion Charm, not only because it could infinitely expand space, but also because it could change the size of the items it contained at any time in an imperceptible way.
After some careful adjustments, this briefcase could now hold almost anything he wanted to take with him.
He even jokingly thought that perhaps one day his briefcase would be big enough to hold the entire UK. Of course, this was just a humorous idea, but it also shows how confident Sean was in his ever-expanding briefcase.
As Qiu Zhang entered the new secret realm, the scene before him gradually became clear.
She found herself in a completely different place:
This is a stone chamber. Next to it is a sign that reads:
Once you successfully summon all the objects using the Summoning Spell, you can proceed to the next level. If you fail more than three times, the level will restart.
Floating around were all sorts of objects—books, quill pens, stones, pocket watches... and what else?!
Why are there some strange items here?
Qiu Zhang's face instantly turned slightly red, and his eyes involuntarily widened as he stared at a floating object in front of him.
Those were several items completely different from what she usually saw—a few sheer pieces of underwear, gently floating in the air.
It floated in the stone chamber along with other items.
Qiu Zhang felt as if her face was burning with shame, which made her feel utterly ashamed.
Is the reason for the presence of underwear here because the professor is worried that she might encounter the same embarrassing situation as before?
That's so thoughtful...
Cho Chang took a deep breath, trying to look away from the floating objects and focus on the wand in his hand, recalling how to control flying objects with the Summoning Charm.
A few minutes later, she calmed down and looked down at her attire before practicing the Summoning Charm. Her Hogwarts robes were still intact and neatly tied, which put her at ease. She didn't know when, but this had become a habit of hers.
"Fly here," she whispered, her wand waving gently in the air.
As her gaze settled on a book floating in the air, the book flew steadily over and landed precisely in her hand.
A great start, isn't it?
Immediately afterwards, Akiharu continued training, single-mindedly summoning his pocket watch and quill pen.
There were several failures during this process, and the level was reset.
However, half an hour later, Qiu Zhang finally reached the last few items with a "damage-free" record. Her gaze lingered on those sheer underwear and panties.
They still floated lightly in the air.
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but bite his lip, and a sense of shame welled up in his heart once again.
"Fly here." She almost gritted her teeth as she uttered the spell, and her wand swung violently.
However, unexpectedly, the underwear did not fly into her hands as accurately as the previous items.
Instead, it flew toward her at an extremely fast speed, seemingly out of control.
Qiu Zhang quickly stepped back, but still felt the thin veil lightly brush against her shoulder, and almost bumped directly into her face.
She instinctively waved her wand, trying to adjust its trajectory.
However, it still deviated from the intended direction and eventually crashed hard into the wall, making a soft "thud" sound.
Qiu Zhang's face instantly burned like fire, and a wave of shame washed over her, making her ears turn red.
She quickly picked up the underwear that had fallen to the ground, filled with regret. She simply couldn't understand why she always made mistakes whenever she touched this item.
However, without the influence of external factors, after a lot of training, Qiu Zhang finally passed the test after half an hour.
However, this is only the first hurdle.
Sean designed a total of three levels.
Before leaving the stone chamber and pushing open the next door, Qiu Zhang glanced at the underwear scattered on the ground, thought for a moment, and...
Blushing, she tucked it into her bosom.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
It's always good to do more preparation.
If what happened last time were to happen again, she really didn't know how she would face it. As she pushed open the door, a strong gust of wind rushed in, blowing Qiu Zhang's hair in all directions.
Similar to the previous level, there are still many objects floating here.
What Qiu Zhang had to do was to successfully summon an object using a summoning spell, despite the interference of the wind.
This level also gave Qiu Zhang a headache. To be more precise, it was much more difficult than she had imagined. The presence of the wind made everything more unstable. The books, quills, and pocket watches floating in the air were blown about irregularly by the wind, making them more difficult to control and their trajectories completely unpredictable.
Cho Chang picked up his wand, steadied himself, and saw a floating quill pen with its tip pointing upwards, swaying in the wind.
"Fly here," she murmured, concentrating.
The wand swayed gently in her hand, and the air seemed to freeze for a brief second.
However, the wind was too strong, and the quill pen still flew very far. In an instant, it was blown by the strong wind and hit the wall, making a slight thud.
Qiu Zhang frowned, his anxiety rising again.
As the wind blew, her long robe fluttered in the wind, the hem constantly being lifted, and some parts almost being blown away.
Qiu Zhang felt unwell.
The swaying of her clothes and the interference of the wind made it impossible for her to concentrate!
She tried to adjust her stance, spreading her legs slightly apart to maintain stability, but the wind grew stronger and stronger, even feeling somewhat out of control. Her robes were tossed about by the wind, and the increasingly heavy swaying made her feel an invisible pressure. She even unconsciously felt her body becoming light and airy, as if she would be swept away by the wind at any moment.
Qiu Zhang gritted his teeth, stared at the quill pen drifting in the distance, and once again calmed down and focused his attention.
"Fly here!" she whispered sweetly, her wand swinging with even greater decisiveness.
However, the wind was clearly working against her; the quill pen continued to fly erratically, veering off course and quickly flying away, crashing into the wall once more.
Qiu Zhang's face darkened, and he felt a deep sense of defeat.
She stood there for a few seconds, feeling the wind whipping more fiercely against her face, her robe billowing more and more.
If things continue like this, she will never be able to overcome this hurdle and will only sink deeper into trouble.
After a brief internal struggle, Qiu Zhang made her decision!
She lowered her head and quickly untied her robe to lighten her load.
Qiu Zhang took off his robe and intended to put it back in the first gate, but the gate had been closed at some point. With nowhere to put it, the robe could only float in the sky with the wind.
Seeing her clothes floating in the sky, the girl blushed slightly with embarrassment.
The robe that symbolized her Hogwarts student status fluttered in the wind like a weightless feather, as if silently mocking her incompetence.
As Qiu Zhang's sense of shame continued to rise, his cheeks burned and his ears turned crimson.
However, after traveling light, Cho Chang felt a sense of relief. She was finally able to focus more on her wand and the spell itself, no longer bothered by the wind and her clothes. Without the constraints of the robe, and only her close-fitting clothes remaining, her movements became more agile.
This undoubtedly greatly increased her chances of success.
"I can't let this affect me anymore!" Qiu Zhang bit her lip, forcefully shaking off the awkwardness in her heart, gripping her wand tightly, and forcing herself to focus all her attention on the challenge before her.
"Fly here!" she chanted again, her voice low and cold.
This time, the quill pen's trajectory was noticeably smoother than before. Although it was still affected by the wind, at least it finally flew towards her in the direction she expected.
Qiu Zhang reached out in one go and firmly grasped it.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that her robe was still swirling in the air and had not yet landed.
Qiu Zhang gritted his teeth and ignored it.
The most important thing now is to complete the training, not to worry about your clothes floating in mid-air.
Unfortunately, fate intervened. The next second, the wind suddenly intensified, whipping her robe even higher and causing it to tumble rapidly through the air.
Finally, with a sharp thud, it landed precisely on her head, completely enveloping her.
"Mingyi!" Qiu Zhang was caught off guard and wrapped in cloth. He was so shocked that he retreated repeatedly and frantically tried to pull the robe off his face.
However, the wind persisted, and the sleeves of her robe became entangled around her arm, causing her to struggle briefly.
She could almost hear her own heart pounding with extreme shame, and she couldn't even imagine what Professor Phillips' expression would be if he were here watching this scene.
She struggled to shake off her robe, her face flushed red, and she watched breathlessly as it finally floated to the ground and fell completely still.
This is so embarrassing!
Qiu Zhang wailed inwardly.
Just then, Sean's voice suddenly rang out in the room—
