Chapter 41: Can't a broomstick be equipped with a guardrail?
In the afternoon, the Quidditch pitch.
As is tradition at Hogwarts, there will be a Quidditch tryout in the second week of school, and first-year students will be required to take Madame Hooch's flying lessons.
The universal flying vehicle in the British wizarding world is the broomstick.
Wizards driving in mid-air on broomsticks and playing American football in a rugby-like format are almost like Quidditch.
To put it bluntly.
In short, Muggle students also play football, basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, tennis, badminton and of course our national sport, table tennis, between classes.
And the sports in the wizarding world are only Quidditch.
As a rule, Hogwarts students have to wait at least until their second year if they want to compete with other houses in their own house.
The first-year flying class is mainly to help the school teams of major colleges screen some good seedlings who are good at flying and serve as substitutes for the school team.
Of course, Muggle-born wizards were also taught how to use this traditional means of transportation for English wizards.
And Li Fei's life-saving benefactor, Charlie Weasley, is the strongest chaser of the Gryffindor team in the past ten years.
When he was only in his second year, he led the Gryffindor team to the annual championship and was the strongest MVP player in Gryffindor!
However, it was thought that victory would be the beginning of a dynasty for the Gryffindor team.
But I never thought that my debut was the peak, and the championship that year became the best result in Gryffindor's history in recent years.
has not won the championship for four consecutive years, it is not Charlie's crime, and his teammates are too watery.
But this year is completely different.
If nothing else, the Weasley twins will be absorbed into the Gryffindor team as batsmen.
The Weasley teenagers have taken up half of the Gryffindor team at once, and this year will be the most promising year for Gryffindor House!
This flag stands up, just like the Chinese football team, which is the most promising every year.
It is strongly recommended that the salaries of football players be reduced to the same level as those of civil servants, and that under the salary cap order, the salary must be linked to the performance in order to be reasonable.
Having said all this, these have nothing to do with Li Fei for the time being.
Now Li Fei, along with the Ravenclaw group of warblers Yanyan and a few boys, is about to face the first flying lesson since Hogwarts entered the school.
The teacher in charge of the flying lessons was called Lady Hodge, who is said to have been a professional Quidditch athlete in her youth.
She has short, gray hair and yellow eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.
I don't know if Mrs. Hooch ever had a big bird named Hua Luo.
Unlike the other professors, Mrs. Hodge wore a silver whistle on her chest in the style of a physical education teacher.
"Toot-toot-" Before he could get closer, he heard a whistle blow, and Mrs. Hodge appeared with a small cart behind her.
Above it was a broomstick with a horribly worn handle.
"Kids, take action." Mrs. Hodge blew another whistle, "One for each person, whatever you get." ”
"The brooms look a little old, but I still make sure they can fly steadily.
And because most of them are relatively early, it's hard to fly fast, which is safer for you. ”
It was the first time for Li Fei to hear such a grandiose excuse for the obsolescence of the teaching equipment, and he couldn't help but be greatly inspired.
Thanks to the Virgin Mary, Li Fei was given a broom that was still in good condition, and only a few branches poked out horizontally.
And Zhang Qiu, who happened to be standing opposite Li Fei, was not so lucky, and there were simply not a few hairs left on the broom in his hand.
Zhang Qiu's face was as black as Zhangqiu's iron pot.
Classic painting: "Zhang Qiu resembles Zhangqiu".
"Toot toot!" Well, Mrs. Hooch is blowing the whistle again.
Okay, what are you all waiting for?" She exclaimed, "Everyone stand apart, and everyone puts their broomsticks on the ground on your right-hand side."
Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”
All the little wizards hurriedly did so.
"Stretch out your right hand and put it above the broomstick," cried Madame Hooch in front, "and shout: 'Get up!'" ’”
"Get up!" Everyone shouted.
Zhang Qiu's broken broom immediately jumped into her hand, but there were only a few such obedient brooms.
Versace's broom just rolled on the ground, while the broom beside Li Fei didn't move at all.
The broom beside the little fat man trembled on the ground, as if he was afraid of something.
Li Fei thought to himself, maybe the broom is also like a mount, which can see your weight.
The little fat man's broom trembled slightly, and it was no more obvious that this broom did not want the little fat man to ride it to the sky for the last time before falling apart.
Slightly dissatisfied, he shouted again, "Get up!" Li Fei's broom honestly jumped into his hand this time.
Mrs. Hooch then showed them how to ride a broomstick without slipping off their heads.
She walked around the line and corrected the grip of everyone's hands.
"All right, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and kick hard." Mrs. Hodge said, "Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, and then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground."
Listen to my whistle - three-two-
Dood-toot-"
Zhang Qiu, who was opposite Li Fei, kicked lightly with both feet, and the broom took her off the ground briskly.
Maybe it's because the two feet are off the ground, and the clever intelligence of the Ravenclaw girl has taken over the high ground again.
The broom took Zhang Qiu around very lightly, and then landed firmly on the ground.
Li Fei also kicked the ground violently, because he was afraid that he would be heavier than the girls, so Li Fei deliberately exerted a little more strength.
With a "whoosh", Li Fei rushed out as fast as Marcus in the third chapter.
Mrs. Huo Qi, who discovered Li Fei's flying speed, smiled with satisfaction: "This kid can fly so fast with this old model of old broom, this is a genius." ”
The little fat man was still struggling to persuade his broomstick, trying to get it to agree to carry him around.
His broom would never leave the ground.
Seeing Li Fei take off so easily and disappear into everyone's field of vision at such a fast speed, many little wizards unconsciously let out a light sigh of envy.
Unexpectedly, Li Fei not only had outstanding results in magic spells, but also had such a talent in flying.
Just when Mrs. Huo Qi felt that Li Fei might have flown a little too far, a heart-rending howl came from the distant sky.
"Save ...... Life...... Ah......h
"Who's going to save me......"
"Where are the brakes!!
"Quick, dodge, get out of the way!"
"I, stop, no, down, come!"
Then above the little wizard's head, a figure riding a broomstick fell vertically like a helicopter without a tail.
Li Fei, a generation of Tianjiao, naturally could not be killed by such an out-of-control flying broom.
When he was close to the ground, a pale golden golden eggshell-like shield was generated, and Li Fei landed steadily on the ground.
It's just Li Fei, the image at the moment...... It looks a little too funny.
I saw Li Fei lying on the flying broomstick, holding the handle of the broom with both hands, and his legs tightly wrapped around the rear of the broom.
The whole person was on his knees on the lawn with a broom between them.
His face was pale, and the cold sweat of the bean was like a waterfall, oozing out frequently, and then leaving down his cheeks and neck at a very fast speed.
The sweat completely soaked the wizard's robe with an unusual style in the past, and from a distance, it looked like a chicken in soup that had just been drenched in the rain.
In the past, the half-length black hair that was unusually neat was now stuck to the scalp like Mr. Pan Changjiang's bangs.
Mrs. Huo Qi rushed to Li Fei's side as soon as possible: "Are you okay?" Could it be that the broom is out of control because it has fallen into disrepair? ”
Li Fei shook his head, panting, and the word "no" was in his mouth, but he couldn't say it.
Mrs. Huo Qi took Li Fei's broom, flew around deftly, and then landed smoothly.
"This broom is more stable than most of the brooms here." She said, "Mr. Li Fei, how did this happen to you? ”
Li Fei could only shake his head helplessly.
It's been two lifetimes, but he didn't expect that when he came to the magic world and followed him to this world, not only those two cats, but also his passive skills for fear of heights.
In his previous life, Li Fei's father and uncle once took Li Fei, who was only 6 years old, to an amusement park to relax.
At that time, the safety factor of the amusement equipment was too low, and Li Fei sat in his uncle's arms and flew out of his uncle's arms during the turn of the "jungle rat" car.
Although it is only less than two meters tall, the psychological impact caused is enormous.
Since then, Li Fei has become extremely afraid of heights, and once on the Ferris wheel next to Cherry Maruko Paradise in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, his face was pale with fright and he completely lost his blood.
This is also the first time in Li Fei's previous life that he has completely lost face in front of his daughter-in-law.
As a fellow countryman, Zhang Qiu, who had been sitting on the lawn with Li Fei for a while, asked Li Fei a question curiously.
"By the way, didn't you learn the spells of Huaxia, those immortals are all flying to the sky, you can't fly?"
In this regard, Li Fei just silently took out a two-meter-long huge "flying sword" from the ice and snow pendant on his chest, surrounded by railings.
I feel that the immortal legends and handsome painting styles that my father told me since I was a child, all shattered with Li Fei's "flying sword" with a railing, and I couldn't pick it up anymore.
"You don't know you're afraid of heights?" Zhang Qiu was curious.
"I don't know, I practiced flying from the beginning, and I was looking for a senior surnamed Song to customize a magic weapon with a railing.
I also have a hoist with a railing, and a UFO-shaped flying machine with a railing. ”
Li Fei could only shake his head, he didn't expect that he was so afraid of heights.
If only the broomstick could be equipped with a guardrail, it is very safe.
"Then why don't you ride a crane or something like the legendary immortals, this is also very handsome!"
Zhang Qiu began to look forward to his simple and beautiful wishes when he was a child again.
In this regard, Li Fei could only continue to shake his head.
This time, his head shook like a rattle.
"Zhang Qiu, let me ask you."
"Huh?"
"Compared to Huaxia, this place is definitely Western, right?"
"yes, and then?"
"Have you ever heard of a word called [Crane to the West]?"
Zhang Qiu grew his mouth, ah......
The style of painting has completely collapsed, hey!
PS: I've been planning this chapter for a long time, people who are afraid of heights, you don't understand.
You let me play wingsuit gliding, and I have no problem.
Most people who are afraid of heights are afraid of the fear that their fate is not in their hands if something uncontrollable happens at extreme height or speed.
