Chapter 40 A Unique Flight Lesson
Chapter 40 A Unique Flight Lesson
Everyone looked up at Chu Yang, who had already soared into the sky, and together with the startled Madam Huo Qi, their mouths agape.
Since the invention of the flying broom, no wizard has ever flown while standing on it. What's even more unbelievable is that Chu Yang actually managed to fly.
Even wizards who fly on broomsticks using the standard technique might not succeed on their first try...
"I have to say, standing on a broom is way cooler than sitting, don't you think, Harry!" Ron whispered in Harry's ear, tilting his head.
"It's pretty cool, like surfing in the sky." Harry nodded, then said worriedly, "But this is too dangerous! How are you supposed to control it without holding the broom? If you fall from here, it won't just be a few days in the hospital!"
Anxious, Hermione ran to Madam Hooch and reminded her, "You should fly up and bring Chu Yang back. It's very dangerous if this continues."
Lady Hodge snapped out of her daze and hurriedly mounted her flying broomstick, but at that moment Neville let out a sharp scream.
Neville somehow started imitating Chu Yang's posture and stepping on the broom, but he didn't have Chu Yang's control. He could only lower his body and squat on it, swaying and starting to float in the air. At this point, he was already five or six meters away from the ground.
It looks like someone is squatting in the air taking a dump...
"Navie, what are you doing?"
"I just wanted to give it a try! I never expected..."
As he spoke, Neville suddenly jolted in the air, startling him so much that he immediately shut his mouth and focused intently on controlling his flying broom.
But it was completely useless!
Neville continued to rise, and when he looked down at his feet, he froze, sitting motionless on the broom.
Soaring through the sky, Chu Yang was completely oblivious to the commotion below; he was having the time of his life.
The reason Chu Yang was able to stand steadily on the broom without falling off was because his superhuman physique gave him powerful body control.
In addition, the magic power of Wood Release helps Chu Yang to communicate better with wooden magical objects, allowing him to control them precisely even without using his hands.
Based on these two points, he was able to perform such outrageous operations.
Actually, Chu Yang didn't intend to do this at first. He was prepared to learn to fly step by step like his classmates!
But memories can be really scary sometimes!
Having watched many fantasy dramas in the past, Chu Yang had a deep impression of the concept of "flying on a sword," so when he saw the broom at his feet, he subconsciously stepped on it.
And then it actually took off!
Chu Yang enjoyed the feeling of the wind whistling in his ears. As the altitude continued to rise, the adrenaline in his body was also soaring.
The thrill of flying is far more intense than driving at 300 miles per hour!
"This feels pretty cool, but it's a bit awkward to be standing on a broom. I'll have to ask if I can get a different design when I have time," Chu Yang thought to himself, feeling that it was just a minor flaw.
As Chu Yang prepared to return, he saw two figures rapidly approaching him from below.
Na'Vi out of control!
And there's the anxious Mrs. Foster!
She rushed toward Navee while praying in her heart.
There have been accidents involving new students in previous years, but never one this outrageous, leaving even the experienced Mrs. Hooch somewhat flustered.
Seeing that Nawei was in danger, Chu Yang immediately rushed over. The two of them rushed upwards and downwards respectively. In the instant they passed each other, Chu Yang quickly jumped to the other side.
Neville first felt the broom suddenly sink downwards, and then a strong impact came from the broom beneath him, which knocked his hands away from the broom he was holding tightly.
That's because when Chu Yang's magic connected with the flying broom, he was actually trying to seize control of Neville's broom!
Chu Yang's magic power, in terms of both quality and quantity, was far superior to Nawei's. Therefore, when the two clashed, his hands were instantly repelled by the reversed magic power.
"Hold on!"
As Nawei waved his hands wildly in the air, he vaguely heard Chu Yang's voice and felt someone forcefully pressing down on his shoulder.
Without a second thought, Neville, who was crouching on the broom, turned around and hugged Chu Yang's leg. He took a deep breath, straightened his body, and as he gradually calmed down, the broom also became stable.
Chu Yang then controlled the broom to descend onto the playground.
This move left Mrs. Huo Qi, who was standing behind her, completely stunned!
Even Professor McGonagall, sitting in her office, was stunned!
As a Quidditch fanatic, Professor McGonagall swore she had never seen such a way of riding a flying broom!
Even more unbelievable is that she witnessed the entire process of Chu Yang forcibly taking away Neville's control of the flying broomstick!
Is this something a human can do?
If Professor McGonagall hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would never have believed such a thing could happen!
Chu Yang grabbed the still-shaken Nawei and landed him on the playground. The next second, the entire playground erupted in an amazing cheer.
Even Mrs. Huo Qi couldn't help but applaud after disembarking, saying, "Mr. Chu Yang, what an imaginative way to fly! You saved your classmate. May I know how you did it?"
"I guess it's just a feeling, I'm not really sure..." Chu Yang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. How could he explain this?
This isn't a technical issue; it's a matter of constitution. As the saying goes, everyone's constitution is different.
"That's true. It's hard to learn anything from the first flight; most wizards just go by feel."
Mrs. Hooch saw nothing wrong with Chu Yang's statement, and she smiled and said, "However, the emergence of a completely new flight posture may have an impact on Quidditch."
Mention Quidditch and the atmosphere on the playground instantly becomes lively.
Just like football fans getting excited when they hear about the World Cup.
Mrs. Hodge looked down at Neville and asked, "Mr. Longbottom, are you alright? Are you able to continue the lesson?"
Neville, whose legs were still a little weak, nodded.
"Then please practice what I just taught you. Wait for me, I'll be right back." With that, Madam Huoqi turned and walked towards the teaching building.
After Madam Huo Qi left, the freshmen, no longer caring about practicing, quickly surrounded Chu Yang, chattering and clamoring to learn how to fly.
Chu Yang explained helplessly, "I already said it's based on intuition, I can't teach you!"
"Chu Yang has made himself so clear, so please stop making things difficult for him!" Hermione, with her fluffy golden hair, stood in front of Chu Yang like a cat with its fur standing on end, blocking the other students one by one.
Seeing this, Ron and Harry stepped forward to urge everyone to return to their seats, lest they be seen by Madam Hooch and have points deducted.
Everyone returned to their original spot, looking dejected, and began practicing as Mrs. Hooch had instructed.
Hermione crept up to Chu Yang furtively and whispered:
"I chased them away for you, remember to teach me how."
