How many years has it been? He himself has almost lost count. Ever since he was confirmed to be a Squib when he was 11 years old, Filch has suffered countless taunts and ridicule.

Later, Dumbledore brought him to Hogwarts and made him the gatekeeper, but Filch still did not receive respect at the school, and the young wizards always mocked him for being a Squib.

Gradually, Filch's mentality became twisted. He hated all the young wizards and used his position as a gatekeeper to reprimand and punish them, which made him feel good.

But deep in his heart, he has always had a dream: to unleash a spell, even the most insignificant one. Is that dream about to come true today?

Chapter 25 Dealing with Malfoy

With a snap, Filch finally mustered his courage and pressed the switch, and a beam of light shone from the tip of the wand.

Filch could feel his own magic flowing within the wand. This was magic, real magic, magic cast with his own power. It was the first spell he had ever cast in his life.

Although it was just a very simple, basic fluorescent flash, Filch's heart was burning with excitement.

He looked at the wand, then at Su Yu, wanting to say something, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

Finally, Filch cried, like a child, his face streaked with tears, repeatedly muttering, "Thank you, thank you Professor Su, thank you..."

Su Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, this is just an experimental product, nothing special. Our research has only just begun. If you want to unleash more powerful magic, you may have to spend your life savings. Are you willing?"

“I’m willing, I’m willing! If you need it, I will give you all the wealth I’ve accumulated over the years. I want to unleash more and more powerful magic.” Filch looked at Su Yu, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Su Yu certainly didn't lack Filch's money, but he didn't want to be a pushover. Countless stories in history have taught us that giving things away for free only allows greed to run rampant.

So Su Yu said, "It's not necessary to have that many. The first stage will require about 30 Galleons. I will customize a magic pistol for you, with the goal of being able to unleash a few minor curses."

“No problem, Professor Su, I have 30 Galleons! I’ll go back and get it right away!” Filch immediately stood up, eager to get the magic pistol that Su Yu had mentioned.

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "No need. Customizing a magic pistol will take some time. Once I've finished it, you can bring your Galleons to pick it up."

Then Su Yu glanced at the wand in Filch's hand and said, "As for this wand, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Filch bowed to Su Yu again, this time his head almost reaching his waist. This wasn't due to coercion, but rather a genuine expression of his respect.

"Thank you for your generosity, Professor Su Yu. You will surely become the greatest alchemist in the world. At Hogwarts, please feel free to come to me for any needs you may have."

After seeing Filch off, Su Yu began to conceive the design of a dud version of the magic pistol. Theoretically, the version of the magic pistol that Su Yu had given himself could be given directly to Filch.

But that's not actually the case. Su Yu himself is capable of casting spells, and the purpose of customizing the magic pistol for himself is to maximize the power of the spells.

But Squibs are different; their magic is too scarce, so they need to increase the capacity of their magic storage devices in order to cast more spells.

Secondly, relying on this method, they have almost no combat endurance, so the magic pistols designed for them must be inscribed with sufficiently practical spells.

Su Yu was busy until late at night. It wasn't until Coal Ball returned from the Forbidden Forest that he realized what was happening. So he asked the little elf Jingjing to give him a late-night snack before he went to rest.

Soon, the third week of the new school year began. On Monday morning, the young wizards from Gryffindor and Slytherin gathered on the lawn outside the castle.

Today they are going to have their first flying lesson of the semester and experience what it's like to fly. Most of the young wizards are very nervous because they have never flown high in the sky before, and some are even a little afraid of heights.

But some people were very excited, such as Draco Malfoy, who was bragging to his Slytherin friends that he had once nearly collided with an airplane made by Muggles while riding a flying broom.

On the Gryffindor side, Hermione was equally eager to try. Having had her first flight experience yesterday, she was much more confident today, and she kept looking around.

"Hey Harry, don't you think Hermione's acting strange today?" Ron asked Harry.

Harry glanced at Hermione, then looked up and said, "No, she looks fine."

Ron said, "That's not what I meant. She usually shows off what she's learned before class, but she didn't today, and she seemed to be looking for something."

Without a second thought, Harry said, "Ron, the knowledge for the previous courses was in the textbooks, but for the flying course, there aren't even any textbooks."

"Those Quidditch books are all about Quidditch rules and history, and there's nothing about flying. Hermione and I both grew up in Muggle families, so we don't know much about flying."

Ron nodded, thinking Harry made sense. He leaned close to Harry's ear and said, "Actually, most kids from wizarding families have never ridden a flying broomstick. Malfoy is definitely bragging."

Malfoy seemed to have heard Ron's words, and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Poor Weasley boy, don't compare your family's poverty to our Malfoy family's. I received my first flying broom when I was 5 years old."

Ron retorted, not to be outdone, "Haha, you're not talking about a children's broom, are you? I was riding one when I was three."

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Mrs. Hodge arrived. She was wearing a smart red wizard's robe, had short hair, and wore a pair of windproof goggles, making her look like a female pilot.

"Alright, children, today is your first flight lesson. I am your teacher. You can call me Mrs. Hodge or Professor Hodge."

"Next, everyone, stand in two lines and make sure there's a flying broom on your right!"

Seeing that the young wizards had all taken their places, Mrs. Hodge continued, "Very good, now I'm going to demonstrate for you..."

Just then, a flying carpet descended from the sky, its magnificent appearance eliciting screams from the children. This person was none other than Su Yu.

Of course, Hermione was the most excited among the young wizards. She had thought that Su Yu had stood her up and was secretly annoyed. But when she saw Su Yu now, her smile was like a blooming flower.

Su Yu wasn't late on purpose; it was just that he had some other novel ideas while customizing the magic pistol for Filch these past two days, and he had been experimenting too late and overslept this morning.

Su Yu jumped off the flying carpet, winked at Hermione, then looked at Madam Hodge, bowed, and said:

“Mrs. Hodge, I’m sorry to interrupt your class. Today is the first flight lesson for the first-year students, which reminds me of my first flight.”

"Back then, as a Muggle, I knew nothing about flying brooms and was one of the less talented in my class. I fell several times before I finally managed to fly."

"So I have a request. Could I demonstrate flying for the children next? If, and I mean if, I do a good job, would you be willing to give me a thumbs up?"

Su Yu had already inquired about it. Madam Hodge was one of the more sentimental professors at Hogwarts, and when Su Yu was a student, Madam Hodge wasn't a professor yet.

After some thought, Su Yu had an idea. In order to obtain that special skill, he specially created this persona for himself.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hodge's eyes softened considerably, and she said, "Alright, Professor Su Yu, then you will do the demonstration."

The young wizards below were all familiar with Su Yu. After all, this professor often audited first-year classes, and they all applauded when they heard that he was going to give a demonstration.

Only Malfoy, with a gloomy expression, whispered to Crabbe and Goyle beside him, "Hmph, so he's just a Muggle-born lowlife. He might just fall down during the demonstration."

After saying that, Crabbe and Goyle burst into laughter. Su Yu and Mrs. Hodge immediately noticed their unusual behavior. Mrs. Hodge asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The two looked at Malfoy at the same time, then at Su Yu, and after a long pause, muttered, "No... nothing, Professor."

Malfoy was so embarrassed he could have dug his toes out of a three-bedroom apartment. He didn't want to disobey his father, and the previous lessons were still fresh in his mind. He had only wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but these two idiots were laughing so loudly regardless of the occasion.

Mrs. Hodge didn't delve into it, and Su Yu didn't say anything either, but he knew that Malfoy was probably complaining about him again.

Su Yu didn't care about this. Kids will behave after a good beating. He went to the broom and said, just like he had done to Hermione the day before yesterday:

"First, use your thoughts and magic to communicate with the flying broom, then open your arms and rise!"

At this moment, Su Yu was already a powerful being with magic power level 7. Although the broom under his feet was old, it still came smoothly into Su Yu's hands under the effect of powerful magic power.

Then Su Yu mounted the broom, pushed off with his feet, and flew into the sky with the help of the broom.

Su Yu didn't fly too high or do any fancy moves; he simply spun around in the air and landed smoothly.

Mrs. Hodge immediately applauded Su Yu and said loudly, "Very good! Professor Su Yu's demonstration was perfect. Your goal this year is to achieve Professor Su Yu's performance just now."

A system notification sounded in Su Yu's mind: the side mission for the flight course was completed. But after hearing Mrs. Hodge's words, Su Yu didn't know if it was a genuine compliment or an understatement.

I just flew around completely focused. Is such a performance only considered to be at a first-year level?

But it doesn't matter anyway, since he's already got the skill points he was supposed to get. All Su Yu has to do now is watch the cutscene.

As I remembered, Nawei's first flight was very unsuccessful; he fell off his flying broom and broke his arm.

Mrs. Hodge quickly took Nave to Mrs. Pomfrey's place, temporarily entrusting the classroom to Su Yu before leaving.

Su Yu was waiting to see the show. Seeing that Madam Hodge had walked away, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, little wizards, now you can try flying with your brooms, but you can't go more than 10 meters."

At Su Yu's command, the little guys cheered and prepared to take off on their brooms.

Malfoy suddenly felt like he was invincible again. With quick hands and eyes, he picked up the memory orb that Wey had dropped from the ground and took to the air.

Then, with an arrogant expression, he said, "Look, it's the memory orb that big idiot grandma gave him. If you ask me, he doesn't need it at all, because he can't remember anything, hahaha..."

"Take it back, Malfoy!" Harry hissed from the side.

"Why should I? Let me think. I'm going to put it on a tree branch, or on top of the castle, so that big oaf Longbottom will never find it." With that, Malfoy piloted his flying broom and flew away into the distance.

Harry glanced at Su Yu, and seeing that Su Yu didn't seem to want to get involved, he also mounted his flying broom and chased after Malfoy.

Seeing this, Hermione quickly came to Su Yu's side and said, "Professor Su Yu, you must stop them! They'll get into trouble if they keep acting like this."

Su Yu, however, remained calm and said, "Relax, Hermione. This is Hogwarts, the safest place in the world. They're not likely to get into trouble. Besides, appropriate competition can stimulate your potential."

Sure enough, the next moment, Malfoy threw the memory ball in his hand, and Harry Potter rushed over from behind, bumped into Malfoy, and then went straight for the memory ball.

Harry was incredibly fast. After diving thirty meters, he grabbed the Memory Orb in mid-air and, with a graceful pull, brought his flying broom to a steady stop in mid-air.

Watching Harry's series of amazing maneuvers, Su Yu felt a pang of envy. This was probably what talent was all about. Harry's flying skills were at least LV5 or higher, while he himself was only LV3 at his age. How pathetic!

As for Malfoy, his flying talent was obviously quite good. He could have regained his balance quickly after being bumped by Harry, but Su Yu, who was far away, silently moved the spellcasting ring on his hand.

The next moment, Malfoy's broom shook violently a few times, throwing Malfoy directly down from the air. Malfoy was terrified and let out a high-pitched shriek.

The young wizards watching below gasped in surprise. Su Yu calmly drew his wand and, just as Malfoy was about to land, unleashed a spell called "Upside Down Bell".

Then Malfoy was once again spectacularly hung upside down in mid-air, like a fish being hung upside down, constantly thrashing about.

"Put me down! Put me down right now! You're my teacher, you can't treat me like this! Harry Potter knocked me off the flying broomstick, you should punish him!" Malfoy roared angrily, his face changing as soon as he realized he was safe.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Su Yu retorted, then continued without waiting for Malfoy's reply, "Draco Malfoy, for blatantly violating security regulations, Slytherin will lose 20 points."

"That's not fair! You Muggle-born lowlife, you don't deserve to be a professor!" Malfoy, hanging upside down, his head probably filled with blood, blurted out at Su Yu.

Su Yu wasn't angry; instead, he was quite excited. He raised an eyebrow, casually cast a slug spell on Malfoy, and then Malfoy immediately shut up, vomiting out large slugs from his mouth.

"Draco Malfoy, publicly insulting the professor, Slytherin loses 50 points!" Su Yu's voice rang out again, and at the same time, the system in his mind also sounded.

Congratulations on completing the achievement: Slytherin's Enemy 2. Through your scheming, Slytherin has lost a total of 100 points, and you have gained 1 Universal Skill Point.

Chapter 26 Night Visit to Hogwarts

As Su Yu expected, when the deduction reached 100, the system credited him with another general skill point, which immediately put him in a good mood. Looking at Malfoy again, he didn't seem so annoying anymore.

Just then, Harry flew back with the Memory Ball. He glanced at Malfoy, who was hanging upside down and vomiting slugs, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Professor Su is too strict! Will I end up like her?

"I'm sorry, Professor, I just... I just wanted to help Neville get his Memory Orb back," Harry said apologetically, his head bowed.

Su Yu said, "As I just said, you can't fly more than ten meters. You have blatantly violated the safety regulations, so Gryffindor will have 20 points deducted from your score."

When the Gryffindor lion cubs heard this, they all looked like wilted eggplants, especially Hermione. 20 points! How many questions would she have to answer correctly to make up for those points?

However, Su Yu wasn't finished speaking. He continued, "However, given your courage to take risks for your friends, I'm going to add 15 points to Gryffindor!"

"Yay!" The Gryffindor lion cubs instantly changed their expressions, beaming with joy again, seemingly forgetting that they had actually lost 5 points.
