Chapter 29: The Charms Professor Who Doubts Life

Ryan was doing better. He had switched from Poor Contact to Flash Mode, and the frequency was getting lower and lower. It seems that he was not far from success.

But Mikel's side was different. The light on his wand was very unstable. At its brightest, it was as dazzling as a searchlight, and when at its weakest, it was not much brighter than a firefly. It seemed like it could be extinguished at any time.

But the more this happened, the more anxious he felt, and the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't control it. It had formed a vicious cycle.

"Well, you..."

Kyle wanted to help him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Mikel suddenly take a deep breath, and then he suddenly raised the hand holding the wand.

For some reason, Kyle suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.

This feeling came so suddenly that Kyle didn't have time to think about it. He turned around almost instinctively, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.

Almost at the same time, a dazzling light, like an exploding flash bomb, instantly enveloped the entire Charms classroom.

Although the sudden bright light disappeared after a second, its impact was catastrophic.

Many little wizards were directly blinded by the bright light without any preparation. The next second, wailing sounds came from all directions. The little wizards covered their eyes, screamed, and pushed each other, trying to escape from this place. The entire classroom was in chaos.

Even Professor Flitwick was affected, but he was, after all, a professor who had been through a lot and was not as flustered as the little wizards. He endured the discomfort while screaming to calm everyone.

"It's okay, don't panic, everyone, calm down, you will see again after a while."

Although Professor Flitwick tried his best, the results were minimal, and the classroom was still in a state of chaos.

Those who didn't know better might think that Voldemort had invaded Hogwarts.

In addition, he was facing the opposite direction. Throughout the whole process, his back was facing the little wizards, and he was shouting at the wall.

This made the four wizards in the painting extremely appalled. Although they were also shocked, the portrait was not a living person after all, and would not be affected.

Therefore, in their eyes, Flitwick's behavior was as stupid as a Tebo Warthog whose head had been smashed.

…

At this time, in the Charms classroom, the only ones who could maintain their composure were Kyle, who had avoided the danger in advance, and a few lucky other ones.

However, they had no other choice but to try their best to comfort their companions and help those little wizards who had fallen to prevent a stampede.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the aftereffects of the bright light slowly subsided, and the little wizards regained their vision.

"Oh, Merlin's beard, what a disaster."

Professor Flitwick rubbed his eyes and came down from behind the desk while trembling.

He just wanted to come down and appease the little wizard, but because he didn't notice he was going in the wrong direction, he missed a step and fell down.

Professor Flitwick was furious.

He has been a professor for decades and has experienced countless unexpected situations, big and small. For example, a Floating charm hitting someone, a Summoning charm summoning a cow, or an Unlocking charm blowing up a lock. He had seen it all before and wasn't surprised at all.

Because these were all within his expectations. As first years, they were not proficient in magic, so it was normal for something to go wrong.

However, he never thought that something as safe as the lighting spell would cause an accident.

Professor Flitwick brought the resentment and expectations of all the little wizards to the culprit.

Mikel lay motionless on the table. Professor Flitwick called him several times, but he didn't react at all. He still lay there peacefully.

Professor Flitwick also noticed something was wrong, and quickly came to Mikel's side to check, and came to a conclusion.

"He's still alive, probably fainted due to magic overuse..."

Kyle heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The overuse of magic here does not mean that the mana bar was empty, but that there was no energy. It was equivalent to an ordinary person not sleeping for two days and two nights.

…

Professor Flitwick's eyes were a little distracted.

Magic overuse? Just because of a lighting charm?

In just a few minutes, this was the second time that he doubted his life. He even began to wonder if he had stayed at Hogwarts for too long and became a little ignorant.

Because throughout the thousand-year history of the magical world, he had never heard of anyone fainting from magic overuse while casting the lighting charm.

"Professor, how about I send him to Madam Pomfrey first?"

Seeing Professor Flitwick freeze in place without saying a word, Kyle said tentatively: "He can't always lie down like this here, it's better to have him checked."

"Yes... He needs to be checked. Take him there quickly."

…

After getting Professor Flitwick's permission, Kyle quickly used a Levitation charm on Mikel and took him out of the classroom.

Originally, according to Professor Flitwick's character, this scene would have definitely given Kyle additional points, but now... He was lucky that he didn't have points deducted, so what more could he ask for?

…

Not long after leaving the classroom, Kyle saw a cat squatting in the corner... not a catgirl, but a real cat, with two amber eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

"Mrs. Norris? That's great."

Kyle said quickly: "A little wizard is injured. I need to go to Madam Pomfrey's place, but I don't know where it is. Can you help lead the way?"

Although the map Cedric gave him marked the location of the school hospital, he had never been there and was not familiar with the specific route.

But this cat was different. It had been following Filch all year round and was very familiar with Hogwarts. It definitely knew how to get there the fastest.

It would be great if it helped.

Mrs. Norris tilted her head and looked at Kyle and Mikel floating behind him. She stood up without saying a word and walked towards the stairs on the right.

Did that mean she agreed?

Kyle quickly followed.

The two students and the cat shuttled between the stairs, taking a shortcut through a secret passage hidden behind the stone statue, and arrived in a courtyard outside the Great Hall in a few minutes.

There was a huge grandfather clock here, so it was also called the Pendulum Clock Courtyard.

When Kyle arrived, Mrs. Norris was squatting next to the grandfather clock, and pointed to the stairs behind her with her tail, gesturing for him to go up.

"Thank you, I will bring you dried fish."

Kyle stretched out his hand and wanted to rub Mrs. Norris's cat head, but she nimbly dodged it.

Mrs. Norris folded up her ears, glared at Kyle with a warning look, turned around, and quickly disappeared.

"Ha, Tsundere."

Kyle had no choice but to retract his hand angrily and lead Mikel up the stairs.

As long as they kept walking up the stairs, they would reach the school hospital. This staircase was also fixed, so there was no need to worry about it turning to another place midway.
