A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 209 Hogwarts TT Match

Occlumency is a magic spell used to shut down one's thoughts and prevent them from being spied on by Legilimency.

The most basic form of this magic involves clearing the mind—not thinking, not remembering, not feeling—to prevent the Legilimency Master from feeling his own emotions and thoughts.

A more advanced form of brain-blocking involves blocking out specific thoughts, emotions, and memories, or even fabricating false memories, to create an impeccable "illusion" for the mind-controlling master.

Therefore, it is difficult to tell whether a person is lying when using a brain-blocking technique.

Learning Occlumency requires a strong will, similar to resisting the effects of the Imperius Curse.

In addition, it also requires a high degree of self-discipline in terms of mind and emotions. Occlumency can also affect the effects of truth serum, unless the wizard was not on guard at the time.

However, this magic is extremely rare and very difficult, and it is not part of the regular curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Even so, Dumbledore still required William to at least learn Occlumency in order to escape the time loop.

It's not easy to completely clear your mind because there are too many distracting thoughts.

Sometimes the sunlight is so comforting, and the body is too relaxed; the process of clearing one's mind is also the process of falling asleep.

William tried many methods to eliminate distracting thoughts.

The potion was very effective; William knew of several potions that could eliminate distractions, but Dumbledore forbade him from taking large quantities.

Dumbledore was afraid that he would become dependent on the potion, and one day he started taking drugs instead of potions.

So William began to think of other ways to get rid of his distracting thoughts.

"Sage mode" may be the best state to learn Occlumency, but this mode is not a forbidden technique that William can activate at his age.

After much thought, the last thing he came up with was Naruto's method of practicing Sage Mode from Naruto... Can you believe it?!

When Naruto was learning Sage Arts, he placed a wooden plank on the top of the towering rock pillars of Mount Myōboku.

After balancing the plank, he sat cross-legged on it.

Fukasaku told Naruto that only by eliminating distracting thoughts could he maintain his balance on the plank, avoid falling, and ultimately become one with nature.

William's inner chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) was overflowing; after all, no one would know he was doing something so shameful the next day.

So he actually climbed to the top of the castle tower and used his wand to conjure a wooden plank to place on it.

While he was doing this, he attracted the attention of countless young wizards, and the area around the castle was packed with them.

Professor Flitwick also rushed over.

"Child, please don't act impulsively!"

Professor Flitwick disappeared into the crowd, leaving him floating in mid-air as he continued to shout, "William, come down quickly! What's bothering you? I'll help you solve it!"

Is it a problem with studies, family finances, or relationship issues?

Tell me!

Professor Snape stood in the crowd, looking like he was enjoying the spectacle.

He smiled maliciously, then kept urging the Slytherin snakes, "Hurry up and jump! Are you going to jump or not?"

William ignored everyone, riding his flying broomstick, his feet landing on the wooden plank, he wobbled precariously.

To maintain his balance, William quickly cleared his mind of distractions.

He slowly released his grip on the broom and finally stood up.

Surprisingly easy...

Huhu~

A gentle breeze swept by, and the wooden planks shook violently, causing William to sway along with them.

Let's sway together!

Let's rock together.

Forget all your troubles.

Let's rock together...

William didn't know what happened next; he only remembered that day... the wind was strong and it got in his eyes.

The sun was shining brightly, and the students called out to him. He emptied his mind and became one with the universe... becoming the first student at Hogwarts to fall off the castle.

Bobocha sat atop the tower, watching in bewilderment as its human flew down from the top.

Bobo Tea was filled with questions. Why wasn't this guy hunting? What was he doing here?

William fell from the castle, which was 100 meters high, and was seriously injured, becoming a vegetable.

The Quidditch match was subsequently cancelled; Harry was not lured to the fourth-floor restricted area, and the Basilisk did not appear.

Hermione cried her heart out, looking like a tearful mess.

That evening, William made headlines in several newspapers, and his photo was even on the cover.

I don't know which student took the photo, but the low-resolution image showed the whole process of William falling from the castle.

"Shocking! William Stark, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, committed suicide by jumping from a building due to unbearable academic pressure. Experts are calling for further reductions in academic burden!"

"The number one daredevil? William Stark, genius or madman?"

"Another death at Hogwarts! The responsibility is inescapable; it's time to bring Dumbledore down from his pedestal!"

"Suicide or murder? This morning Stark declared: Victory is certain!"

"A great loss to the Empire! A tragic loss to the world's strongest genius!"

"The newly appointed High Secretary of Magic, Umbridge, proposes: It's time to bring a psychologist into Hogwarts!"

"Professor or beast? Snape is under investigation by the Aurors."

William's reckless behavior did not stop because of the accident.

In the 365th time loop, he was riding a Thestral at Hogwarts when, due to excessive speed, the carriage veered off the track and plunged into the Black Lake, where he died instantly.

Following that, William organized the first Hogwarts TT tournament.

This is a replica of the Isle of Man TT race.

The Isle of Man is a small island located between England and Ireland, and the Isle of Man TT is a road motorcycle race at the level of the World Superbike Championship.

The race track is a road that surrounds the Isle of Man, with a total length of 60 kilometers and about 226 curves, making it the longest race track in the world.

This type of competition is also the most spectacular and dangerous motorcycle race in the world, with the average speed of the motorcycles exceeding 200 km/h and the top speed exceeding 330 km/h.

Although more than 250 people have died in accidents during the races, it still attracts the world's best motorcycle warriors to fight to the death.

It's fair to say that the Isle of Man is where God recruits the best motorcyclists.

But what man doesn't dream of racing, especially motorcycles!

This is the kind of thing a real man should be doing.

The Hogwarts version of "Road Rash" was definitely out of the question, so William used dragon blood to lure all the Thestrals.

Hundreds of Thestrals, each pulling a carriage.

William set a prize of 10,000 Galleons, which the first-place winner could take home. (Anyway, nobody remembers it the next day.)

Driven by the huge prize money, the students seemed to go crazy, eagerly participating and embarking on their Hogwarts racing careers.

Even the reclusive Professor Trelawney was attracted; for her, who was living paycheck to paycheck and was currently short of money.

William designed a complex route that circled the school five times, and even included the interior of the castle as their running track.

Thestrals are incredibly fast, especially after consuming dragon blood, far exceeding the top speed of motorcycles on the Isle of Man TT and even faster than top-of-the-line sports cars.

William had held hundreds of events, and he was so arrogant that he didn't even slow down on curves, speeding around like a madman.

William only survived one of these suicidal acts; all the others ended in fatal crashes!

Through this constant self-destructive training, William developed the heart of Iron Man.

They can even clear their minds of all distractions in a very short time.

He found Dumbledore again and began to learn Occlumency.

William learned it in just three lunch breaks.

The speed was so fast that even Dumbledore was speechless.
