Chapter 122 Because the "seed's" destiny lies there (A massive 5,000-word chapter!)
Let's rewind to the morning.
As the last grain of sand slowly fell from the exquisite hourglass in Sean's hand, the trajectory of time froze at that moment.
The faint sound of the hourglass disappeared completely, replaced by Sean's booming voice.
"Collect the papers," he called out, his voice echoing clearly and forcefully in the quiet classroom.
This sentence is like a beautiful melody to most young wizards—even though it is only two words long.
Many young wizards put down their pens with a sigh of relief; the dreaded pop quiz was finally over.
They preferred the pop quiz to be completed within ten minutes of the hair curling test, so they could compete with those who...
The difference between "good students" won't seem so big.
Under the watchful eyes of the young wizards, the test paper on the table flew like a dancing silver snake to the podium next to Sean.
Sean had no intention of grading the papers.
That would only waste his eyesight and might even pollute his intelligence.
During his rounds in the classroom, he had already witnessed the young wizards' bizarre answers and had a good idea of what to expect.
For these young wizards, filling out the test paper seemed more important than giving the correct answers.
They really went to great lengths to make the paper look fuller.
For example, this question.
4. Why do apples fall from trees?
It's understandable and perfectly normal for young Ravenclaw wizards to write answers like "the apples are ripe."
But the Hufflepuff wizards' answers were somewhat outlandish.
For example, these few, "because they want to be eaten." "Because they want to be made into apple pie,"
Apple sauce, apple puree, apple cake...
A typical Hufflepuff speech.
He was getting a little hungry just talking about it.
No, please forgive him for saying earlier that the young Ravenclaw wizard's answer was "perfectly normal".
Because he saw it...
"Because that's where the seeds are destined to be."
"Because apples can't fall from the ground onto a tree."
"Because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough. If the moon's gravity were strong enough, apples would fall from trees, and there would be no loyalty between people; it's just that the conditions for betrayal aren't strong enough."
The wizard who wrote this answer must be from a Muggle family.
The last one is a rhetorical question.
Why does the apple fall instead of the ground rushing towards it?
hateful.
You need to develop a brain.
Therefore, he planned to entrust the grading of these papers to Tonks.
After Sean collected the papers, the classroom fell silent. To his surprise, he noticed a group of young wizards staring at him expectantly.
Oh.
He almost forgot.
Next up is the driving section.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to let all the young wizards experience driving a flying car.
The reason is simple: there wasn't enough time.
However, if we cancel the in-class quiz and replace it with a flying car driving activity... maybe... perhaps...
Sean selectively forgot about this possibility.
Students only need to memorize, answer questions, and do homework, while professors obviously have far too many things to consider.
For example, what should we eat tonight?
Sean's gaze swept over the group of young wizards below the stage, then briefly lingered on Cho Chang, who was equally eager to try.
Very good, he has already figured out how to create questions based on the answers.
"Since flying cars, like broomsticks, can fly, it really tests your flying skills. So, let's have a student with good flying skills come up to the stage and demonstrate for everyone first," Sean asked in a loud voice. "Are there any students on the school's Quidditch team here?"
Upon hearing Sean's question, Qiu Zhang's eyes lit up instantly, and she raised her little hand high.
She likes anything that makes her fly.
Along with Cho Chang, a Hufflepuff student raised his hand.
If Sean remembers correctly, his name should be Malcolm Price, and he plays the Chaser.
Sorry, junior.
Sean apologized to Priss in his mind, then looked at Cho Chang.
"Ladies first, Miss Qiu Zhang, please get in." Sean said, walking to the side of the Flying Car and gently reaching out to grasp the door handle.
Then he turned slightly to the side and opened the car door with an extremely natural and elegant movement, inviting Qiu Zhang to get in.
Qiu Zhang excitedly stood up, strode to the podium, and gracefully got into the driver's seat of the car.
To consider the feelings of the young wizards in the audience and to make them feel involved,
Sean made a point of having all the young wizards come up on stage and watch him introduce the dashboard in the car.
Sean first pointed to a circular dial in the center of the instrument panel: "This is the speedometer, it shows our current speed. You see, the pointer is pointing to zero now, which means the car is stationary."
"When we start the car and begin driving, this needle will move as the speed increases, so we can know how fast the car is going."
Next, Sean pointed to a rectangular display window next to the speedometer: "This is the fuel gauge; it tells us how much fuel the car has. When the fuel gauge needle is near the bottom, it means we need to refuel."
Knowledge about fuel and oil is not uncommon in the wizarding world. If Sean remembers correctly, Sirius Black owned a motorcycle a long time ago.
Then, Sean pointed to another circular icon and said, "This is the engine temperature gauge; it shows the temperature of the car's engine. If the needle points to the high-temperature area, it means we need to stop and check if the engine is overheating."
"This is the brake..."
"This is the accelerator..."
Sean explained in detail the functions of the odometer, gear indicator, headlight switch, and other instruments on the dashboard, ensuring that each young wizard could understand and remember these basic but important pieces of information.
After introducing almost everything in the car, Sean turned to look at Qiu Zhang, who was inexplicably excited. This was the first time he had seen this gentle and refined girl show such a strong contrast. But it was no wonder; everyone will more or less show a different state than usual when it comes to things they like.
This change made Zhang Qiu's image more three-dimensional and more lovable in Sean's mind.
"Is there a problem, Cho Chang?" Sean asked gently.
Qiu Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Professor, these dials look very complicated."
I'm a little worried I won't be able to remember so many functions.
Sean smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Miss Cho Chang. It might seem a little complicated at first."
But with practice, you'll get the hang of it quickly. Driving a car isn't just about theory; it's mostly about practical experience. I'll be there to guide you until you've fully mastered it.
Qiu Zhang nodded, a determined expression on his face: "Yes, I will try my best, thank you, Professor."
"You're welcome," Sean replied. "Now, let's get started. First, adjust your seat and mirrors to make sure your driving position is comfortable and your view is unobstructed."
Following Sean's instructions, Cho Chang carefully adjusted the angle of the seat and the position of the rearview mirror to ensure that he could sit comfortably in the driver's seat.
After making the adjustments, she signaled to Sean that she was ready.
"Very good," Sean nodded in approval. "Next, we will learn how to start the car and perform basic operations. Please insert the key into the ignition switch, and then turn it gently to start the engine."
Following Sean's instructions, Cho Chang inserted the key into the ignition hole and carefully turned it.
As the engine roared, the car slowly lifted off and flew steadily in the classroom, while Qiu Zhang's face showed an excited yet slightly nervous smile.
"Well done," Sean encouraged. "Now, gently press the accelerator pedal to let the car move forward slowly."
As soon as Sean finished speaking, Cho Chang slammed on the gas pedal, and the car accelerated instantly, shooting out of the classroom like an arrow and flying towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.
The young wizards were left standing there, watching the car drive away with envious expressions.
"Cough, cough!"
"Ugh, I really want to drive a car..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Sean was also startled by the sudden acceleration.
If he remembers correctly, he just told Qiu Zhang to "lightly" press the accelerator, right?
Seeing Cho Chang, his face flushed with excitement as he drove, Sean decided to forget about the little incident that had just happened, because he suddenly discovered something very serious.
Qiu Zhang wasn't wearing a seatbelt!
He forgot about this because he was busy showing the instrument panel inside the car to the little wizard next to him as soon as he got in.
As we all know, driving without a seatbelt is extremely dangerous, especially at high speeds. If a collision or sudden braking occurs, Qiu Zhang may be violently thrown forward due to inertia, or even thrown out of the car, resulting in serious bodily injury or even death.
Such sudden impact is unbearable for the human body. Without the protection of a seatbelt, the human body is like an unrestrained object, randomly bumping around inside the car, with unimaginable consequences.
Looking at Qiu Zhang's empty waist, Sean felt a strong sense of tension well up in his heart.
"Choo Chang, you forgot to fasten your seatbelt!" Sean shouted, his voice revealing his anxiety.
Cho Chang seemed startled by Sean's shout; she paused, her face full of confusion.
She looked down and immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
"Oh dear, I really forgot!" Qiu Zhang exclaimed, and she immediately frantically tried to pull the seat belt next to her and insert it into the slot.
However, because she was operating too hastily, the seatbelt seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with her, always slipping out of her fingers.
Seeing this, Sean quickly advised, "Concentrate on driving, keep both hands on the steering wheel, I'll help you fasten the buckle!"
