Mount Fuji is especially peaceful at night.
Giovanni, who had captured many beautiful scenes, removed his lens and placed it in a specially made protective case.
Away from the city's skyscrapers, this feeling of being close to nature is very comfortable.
As an artist, he has already generated a great deal of creative inspiration.
This summer's theme will surely make you stand out from the crowd of photographers and get your work back on the cover of Vogue magazine.
"Whoosh—" Two shooting stars streaked across the night sky one after the other.
Giovanni didn't have time to think much before closing his eyes and making a sincere wish.
For the passionate and romantic Italy, these two shooting stars are a symbol of good luck.
Afterwards, in a good mood, he went into his tent to rest.
Nearly 30,000 feet above the ground, two "shooting stars" were still chasing each other in the night sky.
The brooms of the Rascal Rabbit and the Skybreaker were already shaking violently.
But for Vincent and Aoi Sora, these were just minor issues.
Although it didn't reach the speed of sound, the thin air and excessive wind pressure were more dangerous and deadly.
Vincent, who was at the front, appeared relaxed, but his wrist, which was gripping the broom handle, was actually numb.
His physical condition was much better, and Aoi Sora, who was closely following behind, would only feel more uncomfortable.
The competition was very simple: it involved circling Shizuoka at high altitude.
For the two who were halfway through the mission, every foot they flew was a brief victory.
The ninth floor of the Abe Family is an open-air observation tower.
There were many magically enchanted Astronomy telescopes there, just like Muggle radio telescopes, which could clearly see the trajectory of each planet.
While the distance isn't as great as the giant one at Hogwarts, the clarity is the same.
It's enough to catch two "shooting stars".
Yuxuan cast a spell on the telescope and the jade wall, and the automatically captured image was reflected on it.
As expected, Vincent took the lead.
Aoi Sora was very close behind, but his uncomfortable expression was obvious to everyone.
Nao, with her lips pouting high, looked utterly defiant.
She tentatively glanced at her father Yuxuan, and coughed when she found nothing different from usual.
"Ahem— Aoi Sora doesn't usually like to exercise, but his reaction speed is pretty fast."
The implication is that Vincent's physique is too good, and it would be unfair if he won.
Qiu did not choose to argue with her this time.
For Quidditch enthusiasts, personal ability, equipment, teammates, and strategy are all forms of strength.
A win is a win, there's nothing to argue about.
But for Rinne, Nao, or rather the Abe Family, was clearly provoking her.
The old fox didn't react, which means he either tacitly agreed or it was his intention all along.
Not to mention her, even Neville, who is usually very good-natured, was a little unhappy.
The quiet, eerie atmosphere was broken.
Vincent, who fell from the sky, half-squatted on the ground, and stood up after his hands regained some feeling.
A burst of applause erupted.
Nao's face looked even worse than her younger brother, who was already struggling to breathe due to the wind pressure.
She clenched her little fists and looked at her older sister, Mio, who was pretending to be nonchalant.
Sigh—it's her turn to set the stage again.
When Aoi Sora returned safely and stood up unsteadily, Yuxuan sighed first.
"Vincent, I heard you started a Dueling Club at school?"
"Not entirely." Vincent put the Rascal Rabbit back in his suitcase.
"The original intention was indeed for me to teach everyone combat, but it gradually became a place where students could relax."
Yuxuan smiled meaningfully, "It seems that we wizards have underestimated the non-magicians."
Innate strengths and weaknesses can be overcome through hard work. Arrogant people may lead temporarily, but they cannot maintain that lead indefinitely.
Vincent frowned slightly.
Judging from this, it seems there's going to be a second round?
With the intention of striking hard enough, he took out his wand before closing the briefcase.
"Principal Abe, I've always wanted to experience the Japan style of dueling. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance?"
The Point Guard is Here
The “Japanese Wizarding Code” forbids any form of dueling, Yuxuan could certainly understand his meaning.
Ignoring the "Guidelines" is ignoring the Ashiya family.
Should we back down?
Or should we put it another way?
"Vincent, why don't you let Aoi Sora be your opponent?"
She actually agreed.
The sisters Mio and Nao had surprisingly similar expressions, but after their initial surprise, they felt it was only natural.
Since they are no longer willing to keep a low profile, refusing will only make the other party look down on the Abe Family.
"Let's stop here." Yuxuan looked at Vincent and Aoi Sora. "The place is right here, and I will be the referee."
He drew a small area on the ground with his wand and cast a defensive spell.
Having climbed Mount Fuji three times and just ridden a broomstick around Shizuoka, Vincent's energy was almost completely depleted.
If it comes down to magic alone, it's hard to say who would win or lose.
But many people are confident, especially those who know them well.
The training progress has been consistently at the forefront, and the user is able to use basic silent, Wandless Magic.
"Go for it, Lao Wen!" James set up his camera.
"Whether the club can recruit all the new talents in the future depends entirely on your performance!"
Feeling no pressure at all Vincent took off his down jacket and lightly shook his wrists, which were no longer numb.
Aoi Sora took off his Eboshi and then his outer Kariginu, leaving him only in his purple Nakamigi.
After the two went inside, the defensive magic was officially activated.
Within a ring of light blue ripples, they stared into each other's eyes.
"Prepare--"
Aoi Sora bowed ninety degrees, Vincent pressed his wand against his chest.
Each region has its own dueling rituals.
"Three—two—" Yuxuan called out the starting signal after the two had finished their formalities.
"One!"
Vincent's spell was as fast as lightning, far exceeding Aoi Sora's expectations.
He scurried two steps to the left to dodge the Impediment Jinx, and then used the Shield Charm to try to deflect the Disarming Spell that followed.
After the dull "Winter" sound, the distinctive pale blue light curtain of the Shield Charm shrank by one circle.
"Expelliarmus!" Vincent attacked again without mercy.
The reaction speed developed through long-term training will not decrease due to a decline in physical fitness.
The instant the light barrier at the tip of his staff dissipated, Aoi Sora chanted an incantation: "Instant Sensation—"
With the enhancement of the Supersensory Charm, his pupils shimmered with blue light.
The Disarming Spell, which should have hit, struck the defensive magic instead, creating an even stronger ripple.
Improving perception and reaction abilities puts a great strain on the body, and his physical recovery speed is noticeably Vincent's.
After dealing with the jade swords that pierced out from under his feet one by one using Transfiguration, he was already panting heavily.
If we do it a few more times, the person will probably collapse from exhaustion.
Vincent pointed the tip of his cane at his feet.
Once again, the object Transfiguration, and the number of swords with different shapes doubled compared to before.
"How could I possibly lose to you!" Aoi Sora shouted, raising his cherry blossom wood wand high.
"My Shikigami, come forth—"
Expecto Patronum!
A milky-white orb of light floated out from the tip of the staff, shattering the swords and blades Transfiguration from the mutton-fat jade.
Then, instead of stopping or disappearing, it flew toward Vincent at an extremely fast speed.
