Chapter 20: A Stressful Flying Lesson

By the time Clark and the others returned to the Great Hall for dinner, word had already spread among the freshmen about Potions class.

After all, with the exception of the Slytherin students, the students of the other three houses had suffered more or less in Potions class. So they all admired Clarke's deflated Snape.

Not only that, but his efforts to defend Neville have also made a big difference in the impression of him. If the boys had been jealous of his show-off at the previous sorting ceremony, at least some of them now had some approval of the Sorting Hat.

At least when it comes to being friends with him, not many young wizards will refuse, because you don't know if you will encounter difficulties, and it is better to have a reliable friend like Clark by your side.

However, if someone likes him, naturally some people will look down on him even more.

Our drag brother Ma Erfu can be said to be the leader of the "inverted" army, although he doesn't dare to face to face with Clark, but he still does a good job of moving his mouth and disgusting the other party.

Fortunately, the first-year Gryffindor students only took Potions class with Slytherin students, and Clark was in the limelight in Potions class, becoming the only Gryffindor to get extra points in Potions class in the past ten years, so his relationship with Malfoy, the bear child, has not yet reached the point of fire and water.

And in addition to this little thing, which is a little disgusting, Clarke's life at the school of magic can be said to be extremely comfortable.

Every morning I go for a morning jog, then take a bath, eat breakfast, go to class, eat lunch, go to class, eat dinner, and sleep, and my life is extremely regular.

The teachers in every class here are extremely friendly to him, and when he is not in class, he will go to the library with Hermione to read books, and play chess with his cousin Ron in the Gryffindor common room, compared to his previous life 996 work, this carefree school life can be said to be like heaven.

Not only that, but he also obtained a skill in the library.

[Document Interpretation (Intelligence)]: General skills, after special training, you will be faster and more accurate when interpreting words, patterns, and information written in incomplete or ancient forms. (You need to read 50 books in the library and invest 500 XP to get this skill, which is currently 13/50.) - I finally don't have to worry about mosaics anymore.

This developmental skill is his favorite, and after spending a while reading 50 books, Clark did not hesitate to invest 500 XP to acquire this skill.

Immediately after acquiring this skill, the system unlocked a series of associated specialties for him.

[Reader]: General specialty, if you have read a lot of books, you can get an additional +2 intelligence bonus when deciphering words, patterns, and information written in incomplete or archaic forms. (You need to read 500 books in the library and invest 1000 XP to get this skill, which is 50/500.) - Reading makes me happy.

[Polymath]: General specialty, you who have read a lot of books, can get an additional +4 intelligence bonus when deciphering words, patterns, and information written in incomplete or archaic forms. (You need to read 5000 books in the library and invest 5000 XP to get this skill, with a current progress of 50/5000.) Note: This skill overrides the Reader specialty. - a little understood, a little understood, I just understood a little.

[Librarian]: Legendary specialty, not enough to be unlocked.

Well...... What else can Clark say, he can only pay tribute to the "liver" first. After all, the books in the wizarding world are not ordinary, some books that record advanced magical knowledge, but they have a strong spiritual contagion ability, if you don't have extremely high intelligence, I'm afraid you will go crazy at a glance.

Of course, he didn't forget the transfer information he got in Hagrid's hut, although there was only one hint, but the discerning person knew at a glance that the so-called transfer certificate must be the magic stone that he meant.

It's a pity that this thing is the focus of Dumbledore's attention, and if you want to get it, you can only think about it in the long run.

On this day, after Clark and Hermione returned from the library, they had just walked into the Gryffindor common room through the fat lady, and they saw a group of first-year wizards gathered around, looking at a revelation on the wall, and sighing.

"What's going on? Is it a midterm exam? ”

Clark joked, glancing toward the revelation.

His eyesight was excellent, and he could see it from a distance: "Flying class is on, When: Thursday, Location: Playground, Personnel: Slytherin, Gryffindor first-year." ”

"It's bad luck," Harry grumbled at Clark in frustration, "and as I expected, he rode a broomstick in front of Malfoy." ”

He had been looking forward to learning to fly, and that desire was stronger than anything else.

"It's not certain that you're going to look foreign." Ron said sensibly, "I know Malfoy always brags that he plays Quidditch really well, but I bet he's just talking big." ”

Clark laughed when he heard this.

Malfoy was a penchant for boasting all day long, and he would often complain loudly at lunch that first-year students were not eligible to play on the house Quidditch team, otherwise he would have made the Slytherin team.

In addition to this, he told many thrilling stories that he encountered while riding a broomstick, and those stories were smelly and long, and the plot was nothing more than that he flew in the sky, saw some strange scenery, encountered some danger, and escaped with his superb flying skills, and in the end it always ended with him narrowly dodging a Muggle helicopter when he landed.

This kind of storytelling method can be said to be worse than the online writer who fights the street, and Clark doesn't want to deal with him at all, let alone collect, recommend, and subscribe to a one-stop shop.

It's just that he shouldn't take Clark's ignorance as weakness, and then, this story is ruthlessly exposed by Clark.

Clark proceeded directly from the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act, pointing out that it was impossible for Malfoy to practice broomsticks in a place where Muggle helicopters passed, so Malfoy was either breaking the law or bragging.

This made Malfoy stunned on the spot, his face flushed, and he almost died, which also made him hate Clark even more, and threatened to give Clark a good look in flight lessons.

However, he is not the only one who likes to say such big things.

Seamus Finigan, for example, likes to boast that he spent most of his childhood riding a broomstick, while Ron will talk about riding Charlie's broken broom and nearly crashing into a hang glider. Of course, his lie was soon ruthlessly exposed by his cousin Clark.

"Ah, I remember you were shivering and afraid to fly, and then you were tied to a broom by George and Fred."

This sentence filled the entire dormitory with joy, and also made Ron so angry that his ears were as red as his hair, and he couldn't help but sneer at him: "Hmph, you are embarrassed to say that I, since I was a child, I have never seen you ride a broomstick, you should not be afraid of heights!" ”

Clark smiled disdainfully, as if he wasn't interested in such a child's thing, but in Harry's opinion, he was somewhat lacking in confidence.
