Chapter 93, Section 92: Passing the Flight Test
Therefore, he needs to be faster.

Fortunately, these roaming balls have been weakened considerably, allowing Sheen, with his [Expert] level flight proficiency, to easily avoid them.

"The first Quaffle!"

Sheehan saw Madam Hodge release the Quaffle, a leather Quaffle twelve inches in diameter that darted out like a nimble little bird.

Shin's gaze locked onto the nimble, flying Quake. The wind around him grew increasingly rapid, and almost instantly, his magic activated a braking spell.
Nimbus 2000 stopped abruptly as if guided by an extension of its arm, and Sheen turned sharply, leaving the wandering ball far behind.

It wasn't until he started that he understood what the descriptions on the panel meant:
[Significantly increases perception of flying broom magic, significantly enhances flying talent, and slightly increases short-duration bursts of flying power.]

His magic was surging, and the magic power that triggered the speed-up spell increased significantly. Yet he could still see the Quake clearly and was even able to handle the sudden acceleration with ease.

In less than ten seconds, Sheen caught the first Quake—the standard time allotted was a full three minutes.

Once the Quake was grasped, it adhered tightly to Sheen's hand. Sheen knew this was due to the Grasp Charm invented by wizards in 1875.

Sheen swiftly swept across the ground and placed the Quaffle into the basket in front of Mrs. Hooch.

"very good!"

Mrs. Hooch called out to him,
"the second!"

"cool!"

In the stands, Justin excitedly pumped his fist, and Hermione's face flushed with excitement.
"That's terrifying..."

Justin suddenly said,
"If I hadn't seen the notification and missed Sheen's test—oh my god, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Their attention then turned to Sheehan.

The second Quaffle was significantly faster and more agile than the first; it even circled the stick back and forth.

However, this was still easy for Sheen.

"The third!"

Two minutes later, Mrs. Hotchki shouted excitedly,
"Watch closely! Grab this Quake! You have twelve minutes left!"

The flight test takes fifteen minutes, and in theory, the young wizards being tested should be allocated one minute, five minutes, and nine minutes respectively.

But Sheen clearly far surpassed the level of the young wizards who had been tested before.

He was more than twice as fast.

This made Mrs. Huo Qi feel even more sorry for her.

What a promising Quidditch prospect!

At this moment, a tall Gryffindor arrived with a group of Gryffindors, and he continued preaching along the way:
"We will be the strongest team, stronger than any other academy, because we train harder than them and have flown in all kinds of weather conditions—"

Wood said.

"That's absolutely right,"

George Weasley said,

“My clothes haven’t dried since August.”

"—We also have the strongest Seeker, and the brand new Nimbus 2000,"

Wood's chest heaved with excitement as he turned to Harry.

"It's up to you now, Harry. Show your talent."

Today, you either catch the Golden Snitch or die on the field.

"So don't feel pressured, Harry."

Fred winked at him and said.

...Harry felt it was hard for him not to feel pressured.

At this point, Mrs. Hooch was completely agitated.

It could be said that Sheehan was someone she had personally trained. Watching him dart left and right between the two bouncy balls, gradually approaching the Quaffle, her heart, which had been burning with Quidditch passion, surged once again.

The characteristics of a wandering ball make it the fastest in the initial stage, since there is no batter to accelerate it.

Most of the young wizards who pass the flight test pull the Float until it slows down before catching the Float. This is why there must be a time limit.

As for Sheen, he was going head-to-head with the wandering balls, using extreme speed and skillful technique to dodge them all.

Mrs. Hodge completely forgot that she hadn't told Sheen that the Quaffle would gradually slow down, and Sheen, who quickly caught the Quaffle, was completely unaware of this. "Trust yourself, Mr. Green! Speed up!"

Watching the young wizard unleash such incredible power, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, Lady Hodge seemed to be transported back to the passionate arena of the past.

"Accelerate! Turn! Mr. Green! You can do it!"

Mrs. Hodge's unusual behavior stunned Wood, who for a moment even wondered whether he should approach her.

"Mr. Green?"

He murmured to himself,
Does anyone know him?

“I…I might know.”

Harry could hardly believe his eyes.

Sheehan Green, the first-year wizard, is a name that no one would not know; he excelled in almost every subject.

Not only is he favored by Professor McGonagall, but even Professor Snape will not scold him and will even give Ravenclaw some extra points.

This is already incredible.

But what impressed the young wizards most were his notes.

Ron would shout in his dorm room every weekend:

"I'll die without Grimm's Notebooks... oh no, I'll definitely die, die from all those long papers in the history of magic..."

At that moment, the sky was a deep blue.

Sheen, riding his broomstick, approached the last Quake, and amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, unleashed another burst of speed, using his momentum to shake off the wandering ball.

Catching the Quaffle faster than almost any Hogwarts Seeker.

Harry and the others heard Mrs. Hodge clapping her hands:
"Excellent! Mr. Green! You have passed the flight test with a perfect score!"

At that moment, two gasps came from the stands. Harry was so excited to see Hufflepuff—that is, Justin—that he almost fell off the stands, and Hermione had to grab his robes in frustration.

“This… Grimm, Harry, tell me, is he Gryffindor?!”

Wood was a little stunned, then he suddenly realized something and asked.

"He is Ravenclaw..."

Harry said in a low voice.

"Oh, alright, Harry, we need to start training now, quick!"

Wood said urgently,
"Familiar with your Nimbus 2000, you are still the strongest Seeker!"

"Perhaps it's not."

Fred looked at the little wizard who had just arrived.

"Another Nimbus 2000."

George took over the conversation.

"What a surprise."

"It feels a little strange."
