"Matthew, your teacher was a Great Wizard." Gryffindor kept toying with the magic he had just acquired, praising it again and again.
Matthew exchanged several spells he had just used with Gryffindor, trading his Cleaning Charm, Repair Charm, and Apparition.
Gryffindor's displacement spell, Flash Charm, had been won through a duel wager. Unlike the Apparition Matthew had mastered, Flash Charm's advantage was its minimal stiffness. It could be used freely even in battle, and it did not cause intense discomfort afterward.
However, Flash Charm could not perform long-distance teleportation like Apparition, and using it placed a heavy burden on the body. Thus, Gryffindor had created Strengthening Charm, a spell that could temporarily improve physical fitness. Not only did Strengthening Charm allow Gryffindor to use Flash Charm repeatedly, it also made the slashing power of his Longsword even greater.
Still, Strengthening Charm imposed certain requirements on the user's own physical fitness. It was more like amplifying Gryffindor's naturally robust physique rather than directly making a frail person strong. That might have been why this magic had not been passed down to later generations. Wizards like Gryffindor, who persisted in training their bodies, were also very rare.
