Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 73 Overwhelming Level

"Three minutes and forty seconds!"

Marcus looked at the pocket watch in his hand and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"impossible!"

The other six members of the Slater team gasped in surprise when they heard the time Marcus announced.

Catching the Golden Snitch in three minutes and forty seconds is simply a joke. Even if this isn't an official competition, this statistic would definitely break records.

"Luck, absolutely luck!"

Seeing Jerry return with the Golden Snitch, the seven of them simultaneously comforted themselves.

Someone who has only been using a flying broom for a few days could not possibly catch the Golden Snitch in three minutes and forty seconds with real skill.

Therefore, only luck can explain everything that just happened.

Marcus took the golden snitch that Jerry handed him with a smile, took a deep breath, and then tossed it into the air again.

This time, the Slytherin members were no longer as casual as before; instead, they all fixed their eyes on Jerry.

They need to prevent Jerry from using magic to cheat while chasing the Golden Snitch.

However, in their eyes, Jerry pushed off with both feet, accelerated on his flying broom, and quickly spotted the Golden Snitch after only a few turns in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the golden thief, known for its speed and agility, was caught by Jerry with a swift, lightning-fast reach!

"Three minutes and five seconds!"

Marcus reported Jerry's time again, which was 35 seconds faster than the first time.

At this moment, all the team members fell silent.

If the first time was due to luck, then the second time you manage to catch it, the element of luck is already very small.

Moreover, they had just observed carefully that Jerry's handling of the flying broom was extremely skilled; those tactical flips and accelerations were something that no ordinary wizard could do.

Most importantly, the subsequent grab on the golden thief was swift, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm not as good as him!"

Terence, the Seeker who had been with Slytherin for four years, couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he looked at Jerry returning with the Golden Snitch.

Marcus took the golden snitch from Jerry and threw it out for the third time, somewhat numbly.

"Two minutes and forty-five seconds!"

The time has been shortened again, now down to less than three minutes. It's terrifying.

Is this really something a human can do?

Looking at Jerry, who was smiling and seemed completely unaware of how shocking his actions were, all the Slytherin members felt a mix of emotions.

On the one hand, they are excited about having a super strong Seeker.

On the other hand, compared to Jerry, a first-year student who had just started using flying brooms, they felt that all their years of practice had been in vain, which was somewhat of a blow to the proud Slytherins.

"So, seniors, I guess I won this bet?"

Jerry looked at the seven Slytherin members who were all in a daze and gently reminded them.

Marcus, who was the first to react, looked at Jerry with shining eyes:

"You won! From now on, you don't need to participate in any more Quidditch training sessions; you only need to play in matches!"

As the new captain of Slytherin this year, Marcus can fully imagine that with such an excellent Seeker as Jerry, he can lead Slytherin to the Quidditch Cup for the next three years before his graduation.

Therefore, if it's just a request to not want to train, of course it can be granted.

"However, I have one condition, and I hope you can agree to it!"

"you say!"

Jerry raised an eyebrow.

Marcus exclaimed excitedly:

"Don't tell anyone that you've become our new Seeker, and don't tell anyone what happened here today. I'm going to give the other three houses a huge surprise at this year's Quidditch tournament!"

Jerry thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, no problem!"

He's already good enough in Slytherin, and Snape has promised to give him extra help, so joining the Slytherin team would just be icing on the cake.

After leaving the Quidditch pitch, Jerry went straight to the library.

During this time, he has learned a lot about magic on his own, but he still has many questions in his mind. Now he wants to go to the library to find some information and also talk to Hermione about it.

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one, especially since Hermione is such an "ordinary" little magical genius.

Shortly after Jerry left the Quidditch pitch, Marcus rushed to Dean Snape's office.

He was going to give Dean Snape a detailed report on Jerry's performance.

"Jerry, look, there's a new spell. Do you want to write it down?"

In the library, Hermione pointed to a spell she had inadvertently come across while flipping through a spellbook.

"certainly!"

Jerry immediately took out his notebook and wrote down the contents of the page with the "Arrow Spell" written on it.

Although Hermione and Jerry both read books in the library, they looked at books in slightly different directions.

Hermione's reading mainly focused on the history and common knowledge of the wizarding world, as well as some miscellaneous and strange knowledge, rather than specifically studying spells.

Jerry, on the other hand, focuses on studying magical theories and various spells with different functions.

However, not all spells are recorded in spellbooks; many spells are actually hidden in biographies and historical books.

For example, this rather ancient "arrow-shooting spell" appears in a book Hermione is currently reading about a Quidditch history record.

The Arrow Spell was actually a very common offensive spell in the Middle Ages, especially useful against Muggle armies.

No bow and arrow are needed; with a wave of the wand, a sharp arrow will shoot at the enemy according to the wizard's will, with power no less than that of an ordinary strong bow.

A powerful wizard can even unleash a terrifying barrage of arrows.

However, due to the Secrecy Act and policies such as wizards not being allowed to attack Muggles, this spell was rarely used anymore.

If an arrow were to kill a Muggle, the person would have to go to Azkaban, which is not worth it.

However, this spell is not very effective against wizards.

After all, for a wizard, even if you fire a barrage of arrows, I can easily deal with it with an Ironclad Charm or a Transfiguration Charm. It's not as effective as using a Body Binding Charm or a Sleeping Charm.

Moreover, unless an arrow hits the brain, it won't kill the wizard, who can magically recover from missing limbs.

Therefore, this arrow-shooting spell was later used by wizards to shoot arrows into the sky while watching Quidditch matches, as a way to show their support for their favorite teams.

However, it was later banned from use after it accidentally pierced the referee's nose.
