#390 - Chapter 390 On-site Teaching

“Can you cast spells without a wand, Krum?”

Sebastian's voice pierced through the whistling wind via magic, reaching Krum's ears clearly.

Krum was slightly stunned and slowed down his flight speed a little.

Wandless magic?

He could indeed do it, but he wasn't very proficient.

Krum opened his mouth, wanting to explain his situation, but his voice was torn to pieces in the fierce wind, leaving only some vague syllables.

Sebastian saw through his predicament and gently waved his right hand: "It's okay, as long as you understand the principle of wandless magic."

"No need to speak, just do as I instruct." Sebastian's voice continued, with a steady rhythm that made Krum feel surprisingly calm.

"Feel your magic, imagine it as a thin mist, let it surge from the depths of your body and envelop the Golden Snitch."

Krum nodded and adjusted his broom to a more stable flight state.

He concentrated,屏蔽掉周围的嘈杂与寒风，专注地感受着自己的魔力流动。那是一种温暖而充满力量的感觉，像是从心脏深处涌出的火焰，又像是轻柔的水波.

He began to try to release his magic, spreading it little by little into the air.

However, this process was not smooth.

Krum himself was not very proficient in wandless magic, and coupled with the fact that he was now on a Firebolt flying at high speed, and had to devote most of his mind to chasing the Golden Snitch in front of him, this led to his magic being sometimes too scattered and sometimes too concentrated, like an untamed wild horse, rampaging in his body.

After trying, not only did he fail to control the release of magic, but he even had some trouble keeping up with the Golden Snitch.

Sebastian did not urge him, but flew not far from Krum, his eyes flashing with encouragement.

He knew that Krum possessed extremely high talent and amazing willpower, and as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to break through his limitations.

The actions of the two made the audience below a little confused, the little wizards were talking a lot, and various guesses emerged.

"Why doesn't Professor Slughorn continue to catch the Golden Snitch? I'm still filming."

"Is Professor Slughorn mocking Krum? After all, Krum initiated the challenge first."

"No wonder Krum slowed down, he must have been provoked and lost his composure."

"Wow, if that's the case, do you think Krum will get angry and fight Professor Slughorn in the sky?"

"It's not impossible, I'm really looking forward to the next development."

More than ten minutes passed, and just as the audience's noise grew louder and louder, the corners of Krum's mouth turned up slightly.

He finally found the balance point to control his magic, and a layer of invisible power like a thin mist overflowed from his body, gradually extending towards the Golden Snitch.

At the same time, he accelerated again, quickly shortening the distance with the Golden Snitch.

Soon, a strange feeling appeared in his mind, Krum felt that even if he closed his eyes, he could perceive everything about the Golden Snitch.

Seeing that Krum had finally entered the door, Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.

Magic perception is a very advanced skill, usually requiring a wizard's magic level to reach the first stage of an adult wizard before they can start to come into contact with it, so most magic schools will not teach students this.

Even Hogwarts only started teaching it to sixth and seventh grade students in the last two years.

Students have also gradually begun to apply magic perception to duels, potions, alchemy and Quidditch.

Of course, for Quidditch, well-developed athletic nerves are more important, and excellent flying skills are the foundation of the foundation.

If your athletic nerves are not developed and your flying skills are not up to par, then no matter how clear your magic perception is, it's useless, because your body simply can't react.

Krum's talent is good, so it's much easier now.

"The essence of the Golden Snitch is an alchemical creation," Sebastian said in a timely manner, "so when it is about to turn sharply, the magic patterns on it will show different magic fluctuations in advance."

Hearing Sebastian's instructions, Krum concentrated his attention and quickly sensed a slight movement coming from the right side of the Golden Snitch, this movement was extremely subtle, almost unnoticeable.

Just when he suspected that he might have perceived it wrong, the Golden Snitch suddenly turned and flew towards the sky on the right.

So, this is the secret to how Professor Slughorn can predict the movements of the Golden Snitch in advance.

Krum was very excited, and after he sensed the movement again, he adjusted his broom in advance and swooped down.

As he expected, the direction the Golden Snitch turned was exactly the same as his prediction, although there was some error in the distance, but it was enough.

Krum's arm stretched out like lightning, accurately grabbing the Snitch, the movement was swift and neat. The Golden Snitch trembled slightly in his palm, but was unable to break free.

The audience on the field suddenly burst into deafening cheers, and the entire Quidditch pitch was ignited by the jubilant atmosphere.

They finally understood that Professor Slughorn was giving Krum a live lesson.

"That's great, Professor Slughorn is so great!"

"This is sportsmanship, this is Professor Slughorn's vision."

"Not only that, this is also inheritance, this is the inheritance from the former world's number one Seeker to the current world's number one Seeker."

"I'm so touched, this is the charm of Quidditch!"

A rare smile also appeared on the corner of Krum's mouth, this was not the first time he had caught the Golden Snitch, but it was the first time he had won in this way, combining magic perception skills.

He continued his efforts to pursue the remaining three Golden Snitches, his skills became more and more proficient, and soon he caught all the remaining Golden Snitches into the bag.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, he and Sebastian slowly descended to the ground.

"Professor, how do you discover the location of the Golden Snitch in advance, is it also through magic perception?"

"That's right, as long as your magic perception range is large enough, it doesn't matter how fast or how far the Golden Snitch flies. Keep up the good work, Krum."

After landing, just after returning the bag containing the Golden Snitches to Madam Hooch, Krum picked up his wand and cast a Sonorus charm on himself.

"First of all, I want to thank Professor Slughorn for his wonderful guidance," Krum's voice echoed in the air above the field, "the professor's teaching has allowed me to learn some special Quidditch skills that have benefited me greatly."

He paused, his eyes swept across the stands, looking at the enthusiastic little wizards, and added: "However, in order to take care of my face, Professor Slughorn obviously did not show his full strength. I believe everyone must still have some regrets in their hearts, not being able to see the professor's full strength."

Before he could finish speaking, the little wizards in the stands were already so excited that they couldn't control themselves, cheers and applause intertwined, setting off a warm atmosphere on the field.

"So," Krum raised his voice, his eyes turned to Sebastian, his tone revealing a hint of cunning, "here, I would like to ask Professor Slughorn to show us the true strength of a top Seeker again, so that all of us can see the legendary peak skills!"

The shouts from the stage were even louder, as if the entire Quidditch pitch was shaking. Madam Hooch smiled and gently waved her wand, letting ten more Golden Snitches fly into the air again.

Sebastian looked around, listening to the students' eager shouts, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will satisfy your expectations."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side and gently jumped onto his Firebolt, at the same time he waved his wand and set up a clearly visible timing magic on the sidelines.

Golden numbers floated in the air, shining brightly, visible from any angle.

At the moment the numbers began to jump, he gripped his broom, and his whole person was like a black shadow straight into the sky.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and as precise as a raptor hunting, he easily caught the number one Golden Snitch as soon as he flew into the sky.

He did not pause, and quickly turned to the next target. The second Golden Snitch swooped and circled in the air, trying to escape through extreme trajectories.

Sebastian gently patted the tail of the broom, accelerated to pursue, accurately calculated the next movement of the Snitch, raised his wrist, and successfully captured it again.

The numbers on the timing magic on the field kept jumping, marking the time it took him to catch each Snitch. Bursts of applause and screams erupted from the stands, and the little wizards were completely conquered by this dazzling performance.

When he caught the last Golden Snitch, the stands completely boiled over, and the little wizards jumped up from their seats in excitement.

"A full two minutes, no more, no less, Professor Slughorn did it on purpose!"

"The average time to catch a Golden Snitch is only 12 seconds, how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible, the professor is using a Firebolt, a Firebolt that can accelerate from standstill to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds."

"This is too exaggerated, now it seems that the professor really has a compassionate heart, otherwise he wouldn't have taken even two minutes in each game before. I understand, this is what the professor calls worldly wisdom."

"Alas... why did the professor retire with this strength, even if a few pigs teamed up with the professor, they could still win the Quidditch championship steadily."

"Fortunately, the professor retired, otherwise the Quidditch Committee would have to change the rules of the game again."

"It's useless, in the face of the professor's absolute strength, any rules are paper tigers, unless they completely abolish the role of the Seeker."

"Sure enough, Professor Slughorn is the strongest Seeker..."

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays arrived.
