Finally, Ye Ting's first flying lesson began.
In this class, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were together, and there were about 30 or 40 from the two houses combined.
The place where the class is held is a flat lawn with a forest on the other side. In the distance, black trees swayed in the wind.
Before they arrived, about forty brooms had been neatly lined up on the field.
Ye Ting once heard Cho Chang complain that the brooms at Hogwarts are so old that they have more or fewer problems: some brooms will tremble when they fly too high, and others have had problems suddenly changing directions.
Soon, their teacher, Madam Hooch, arrived.
She has short gray hair and yellow eyes like those of eagles.
"Well, what are you all waiting for?" She said harshly, "Everyone stand next to a broomstick. Come on, come on, hurry up."
In the middle of the line, Ye Ting picked up an old crooked broom in disgust, and the wooden branches on it poked out in a messy way.
Hermione stood beside him, curiously holding an almost bare broom and looking at it carefully.
"Extend out your right hand and put it above the broomstick," Madam Hooch shouted in front them, "and say, ' Up!"
"Up!" Everyone shouted.
Ye Ting did not shout, but said it in his mind, and the broom obediently rose to his hand.
Silently saying such a simple command in his mind, which doesn't even count as a spell, is not difficult for him.
But for other young wizards, only a few people can do this.
Hermione's broom just rolled on the ground, and other people's brooms did not move at all.
The three of his roommates were also unsuccessful, with Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein's brooms entangled, while Michael Corner's broom hitting him on the face with a handle.
After a long time of attempts, everyone went to the next step.
Madam Hooch demonstrated to them how to get on a broom without slipping off. She walked around the students, correcting their grip.
"Okay, as soon as I whistle, kick your legs on the ground and kick hard." Madam Hooch said and used Neville as a counterexample: his movements were not standard, and he was too impatient. As a result, he couldn't control his broom when he flew up, and flew into the forbidden forest and broke his wrist.
"Hold the broom firmly, rise a few feet, and then lean forward slightly and fall straight back to the ground. Listen to my whistle, three-two-one--"
What happened next was chaos. Many people fell to the ground before flying half a meter. Hermione barely stabilized her broom and took a minute to stay in the air.
Perhaps because Padma Patil is of Indian descent, she was very acrobatic in the air, and many other wizards looked up at her with admiration.
But Ye Ting clearly saw that her face was pale, and her hands clung to the brooms tightly - these stunts were probably not what she intended to do.
Justin Fletchley's broom kept spinning around until he fell to the ground dizzy.
Ye Ting was the best among them, and he flew into the air with ease.
What does it feel like? The air whirled through his hair, his robe fluttered behind him, everyone became smaller and smaller in his eyes, and Hogwarts gradually disappeared in his eyes.
He could hear the voices from behind - the screams of the girls, the envious shouts of Terry Boot, and as he continued to rise and accelerate, in the end, even the voice seemed to disappear.
In fact, as he continued to exercise day after day, his body has been steadily evolving and getting stronger.
Today, his physical fitness, balance, and reflexes have long surpassed the limits of human potential, which allowed him to steer his broom and perform difficult maneuvers better than anyone else.
He rode his broom and shuttled through the skies of Hogwarts, swooping through bridges, circling the towers many times, and even performing a few rolls as he dived through the air.
The rapid flight strongly stimulated his nerves, and the adrenaline made his blood boil.
In the past, he had always been a calm person. Even in his last life, he had never done anything too out of the ordinary, but now, flying made him find discover another side of himself - the desire to stimulate, to challenge his limits, and the feeling of conquering life and death in the intersection of life and death makes him unable to stop.
"Maybe I was not born to be ordinary."
Thinking of this, he flew more and more boldly.
He thought of the aerobatics he had seen at an air show.
Those pilots can fly their jets indirectly through the handle and dashboard in the cockpit, but they can perform so many dazzling and exaggerated technical movements. Now he controls the broom with his own hands, which is several times more operable and flexible than those pilots.
He rode his broom back over to the lawn.
There was enough space for him to practice aerobatics - and of course, he had an idea of showing off - and then he began to try.

Chapter 0026 Aerobatics and Accidents
First, he began by trying the simplest front and back somersaults, followed by side to side rolls.
Although the rapidly changing gravity made his brain a little congested, he successfully completed these movements.
Next came the more difficult maneuvers, first bell maneuver, then semi-rolling, hammerhead maneuver, and last the cobra maneuver... are the most difficult and famous movements in aerobatics.
Ye Ting completed these thrilling and flamboyant maneuvers. If the best pilots saw this scene, they would definitely shout "impossible" and then doubt life.
After all, anyone who sees a move that they may not be able to do after learning for several years, and if they see others do it for the first time, they will doubt life.
Of course, this is not only because of his strong athletic body and learning ability, but also because of the better handling and flexibility of broomsticks than fighter jets.
Seeing this scene, the young wizards on the lawn let out a scream of admiration. Although they could not see the difficulty of these movements, the superb flying still made them shout incredible.
Madam Hooch could see it better though, she used to be a professional Quidditch player and she truly recognized Ye Ting's amazing flying ability - a talent far surpassing all other Quidditch players she has ever seen.
Finally, Ye Ting slowed down and ended his fancy aerobatics.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue flying, but the "creaking" sound of the broom told him that it was overwhelmed.
Just now, he was forcibly agricultural broom perform a stunt that can only be performed by a fighter jet. He had no doubt that if he continued to fly like this for a while, the broom will immediately fall apart.
Amidst the praise of his fellow students, Ye Ting slowly descended, and he was ready to land just like that.
Suddenly, a familiar scream attracted his attention.
"Help! I... can't control it!"
The crying female voice immediately attracted Ye Ting.
He easily recognized the owner of the voice: Hermione.
Following the sound, he saw that in the sky a little far away, Hermione was holding her broom nervously, flying randomly in the sky, and she was about to fall off her broom.
"Be careful!" He heard the terrified shouts of his classmates on the ground.
"Grasp the broom, clamp your legs, and try to keep balance!" Madam Hooch shouted loudly.
"Ting, help her!" Someone shouted at Ye Ting.
However, Ye Ting was no longer in his original position. He clamped his legs and flew in the direction of Hermione.
Unfortunately, Hermione couldn't hold on, and the uncontrolled flight had already exhausted her.
When the broom made her hang upside down in the air again, she could no longer grasp the handle of the broom and fell from the sky.
She screamed in horror and kept falling down helplessly.
The little wizards on the ground closed their eyes unbearably one after another. If they fell at such a height, they will be half crippled if they didn't die.
Madam. Hooch hurriedly took out her wand, trying to chant some spell to stop Hermione from falling, but she was not as proficient in wandless and silent spellcasting as Dumbledore, so she was still a step slower.
Only Ye Ting, despite the mourning of the old broom, quickly accelerated his broom.
Under the rapid dive, the roaring wind made his cheeks hurt, the end of his broom had completely fallen apart, and the wooden branches were constantly thrown behind him - now he is almost riding a broomstick that was about to break in half.
At this time, he, like a sharp arrow, shot crossed a parabola in the air.
As expected of Ye Ting, he was calm in the face of danger, and his knowledge of physics helped him a lot - he controlled the time for when the broom was about to fall apart, so that the broom could maintain the same falling speed as Hermione after losing its ability to levitate.
Finally, he approached Hermione, and his precise calculation allowed him to fall below Hermione at this time, and the two were less than half a meter apart.
So Ye Ting simply let go of his hands, only controlled the broomstick with his feet, and caught the panicked Hermione.
Although at this moment, he could feel that his arm had been hit hard, but is was not heavier than he imagined.
This is because Ye Ting controlled the speed of the dive. He cleverly adjusted the vertical speed of the dive to be the same speed as Hermione's falling speed, so when he caught her, he only had to bear the horizontal force when grabbing her.
However, this lead to another problem.
They were falling too fast and the altitude was so low that there was not enough space for him to slow down.
However, all this did not cause him to feel any panic.
He was still very calm and adjusted his whole body in the air. He turned the broom in a different direction and flew to the forest next to him.
Hearing a "crash" sound, the two slammed into the canopy of a big tree.
Ye Ting held Hermione in his arms as much as possible. The hard branches hit him and scratched his skin, but the canopy also effectively cushioned the gravity of their fall.
Unfortunately, their falling speed was still too fast. The two of them passed through the canopies of several trees in a row, breaking many branches, and then fell to the ground, rolling for several meters before they stopped.
