Chapter 152: Flying (3)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the children from the various colleges hurried down the steps to the field in front of the door to prepare for their first flying lesson.
It was a clear, windy day, and as they walked briskly down the sloping meadow toward a flat lawn in the castle courtyard, the swing flowers and pineapple grass on the field swayed slightly at their feet. On the other side of the lawn is a small forest, and a winding path quietly guards the entrance to the forest.
The students of Tanganis were already there, and Max Exkushin stood at the front of the new students with great spirits, and Domines took his arm - he had the status and momentum of the child king. Gibson stood slightly behind the two of them—like a dog's leg. Of course, he was happy to do so.
In the open space in front of them, dozens of brooms were neatly placed. Some of these brooms are new, while others are shabby; Some brooms are cleanly kept, but others, sticky on the handles.
Joshua heard Rohr complain that some of the broomsticks in the school shiver when you fly too high, and some tend to lean to the right.
Joshua and his party stand still in front of Max, and he goes toe-to-toe with Max. Lena didn't want to care about the "face duel" between the boys at all, she was a little nervous now, and she felt frivolous.
At this time, a whirlwind blew in the middle of the two groups of people, and the children couldn't help but close their eyes and raise their arms. When the whirlwind subsided, a spring breeze patter appeared in the center.
"Hello! I'm Pat. I'm in charge of teaching you flying lessons. Okay, so what are you waiting for? Everyone with a broom, come and stand next to them! Pat said cheerfully as he greeted the children.
Joshua glanced at his broom, which was worn and old, with branches poking out and a triangular scar on the handle. He couldn't help but envy Lena, whose broom was obviously a brand new broom that had not been used, and even had a small piece of sealing wax on the branch of the broom.
"First of all, let's test your flying talent, of course, these brooms are not all that good, they always have small problems of one kind or another, and you have to overcome them yourself! After all, you are not yet allowed to own or buy your own broomsticks. Pat curled his hair briskly, his eyes sweeping over Lena and Joshua.
Lena was so nervous that she didn't care at all, and Joshua was a little dodging Pat's gaze—he was really scared of eating grass. He was afraid that his gaze would meet Pat's again, which might mean another invitation.
"Ms. Pat, may we take a look at your broomstick?" Louise asked, her eyes filled with curiosity—she hadn't seen Pat's broom.
"Oh, pretty little girl, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I don't fly on a broomstick, I prefer to fly with wings. As you can see, perhaps some of you haven't noticed yet, am I a wind dragon? She giggled, her emerald green hair fluttering with her chuckle. The students immediately erupted in commotion and whispered.
"I can understand your feelings, ma'am. I think flying with wings is much more beautiful than riding a broomstick, but unfortunately I don't have wings. Susan Pence said.
"Of course, of course, it's clear that you're a true griffon. You look like a Pence kid, and you have similar noses. Are you Pence's girl? Pat asked.
"Yes, I'm Susan Pence." Susan replied proudly.
"Alright! We should start, what are you waiting for? Everyone, give orders to your brooms. You can do whatever you want, keep the broom firmly in your hands, but the only thing that is not allowed is that you take them yourself. Give it a try for everyone! Pat said.
"Come to me!" Murphy was a man of action, and he commanded the broom beside him. The broom stood up from the ground at once, but Murphy was also startled, he didn't grasp it steadily, and the broom hit Murphy at once, leaving a red mark on his face, and then lay down.
"Damn, I've got to do it again, I'm going to catch you this time! Broom, come to me! Murphy made another attempt, this time holding on to the broomstick.
When Pat saw it, he immediately praised: "It's really good, you're doing a good job, others, what are you still looking at, move quickly~~"
Others have followed suit and succeeded, but most of them have failed.
"You have to find your own way, and other people's methods may not work for you." Pat walked back and forth around the children, giving hints from time to time.
"How long are you going to lie on the ground? Get up! Max didn't move in dissatisfaction, but of course, his mouth still moved. I saw the broom next to him float up and float carefully into Max's hand.
"Get up!" Lena commanded, too, but the broom didn't move. "Hurry up!" Lena urged anxiously, but the broom was unmoved.
"You'll have to do it differently, Lena." Pat walked past Lena and gently patted her on the shoulder. "It reminds me of Vance, she never let her broom move, so she grabs it herself in flight lessons, and of course I don't particularly want to comment on your mother's flying skills, but Michael flies great!"
"Oh, you disobedient broomstick, why don't you move? I, I command you to get up! Lena was so angry that this time the broom jumped slightly, but eventually fell back again.
Pat shook his head, just encouraged Lena to try more, and walked away.
"Hey! I said, man, what are you waiting for? You're in tatters, but I'm going to fly well with you, and you'll have to prove to the other brooms that you're the best broomstick, right? Joshua hooked his finger at the broom, and the broom immediately rose quickly at Joshua, and he grasped it firmly in his hand. Of course, I'm also the best rider! Joshua added.
Lena saw that Joshua had also succeeded, so she became even more anxious. It's not hot today, but Lena is already a little sweaty, maybe nervous, but more of a little ashamed, maybe a little annoyed? She saw that her stupid brother had succeeded all at once, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Oops! My good broom, are you up well? Vivien was discussing with her broom, which floated up and down as if hesitating. Broom, broom! If you get up, I'll wipe you clean after class in a while, what do you think? Vivien's broom hovered in the air for a moment, as if she was calculating gains and losses. Plus one oil! Vivien increased her stacks. After hearing this, the broom finally stopped hesitating and rose up satisfied.
