A Quidditch Master Takes the Field

The 365th cycle.

"William, you are very strong. Even I don't know what other fighting techniques I can teach you."

Your only flaws are your young age, insufficient magical power, and a lack of powerful spells.

Forty minutes later, after William had exhausted the last bit of magic, Professor Flitwick stopped and said, panting.

William collapsed to the ground, his robes soaked through, and he had no strength left.

After resting for a while, he took out a bottle of magic recovery potion from the small bag on the ground, and two bottles of stamina potion, handing one to Professor Flitwick.

William drank both bottles of Potions in one gulp, then lay down on the ground to rest.

William "took" these from the Hospital Wing that morning; after using the Disillusionment Charm, Madam Pomfrey couldn't find him anyway.

William had taken it so many times that he became quite adept at it, going to the Hospital Wing to find Potions as if it were his own home.

Professor Flitwick took the medicine, somewhat speechless.

Putting aside William's combat abilities, his post-incident recovery work was remarkably professional, even more so than William's.

William was certainly skilled at it; he had practiced continuously for a year, and not a single day went by without using these tools.

Initially, these were all recommended by Flitwick, but William stole them without a second thought. Since he was in a time loop, he figured he might as well treat himself well; why not take advantage of it?

William then took out two bottles of salt water from his bag to replenish his fluids, and began to ponder Professor Flitwick's words.

The professor just mentioned insufficient magic... William sighed.

He couldn't solve this problem of insufficient magic.

In the Wizarding World, there are two types of Potions: one that quickly restores magic power and another that permanently increases the maximum magic power.

The potion William is currently drinking can quickly restore his magic power in a short time; it's called a magic power restoration potion.

Although precious, they still exist.

But those Potions that could permanently increase your maximum magic power are no longer available.

For example, the most famous Magic-Enhancing Potion, a precious Potions, contains several herbs that have long been extinct, and no one has found substitutes, so it is now impossible to brew.

For young wizards, their magical power is limited, and they don't usually use magic intensely. It's simply impossible for someone like William to unleash more than twenty spells in forty minutes.

Therefore, William's constant depletion often leads to a shortage of magical energy.

Professor Flitwick's passive defense alone was enough to exhaust William's magic, leading to his defeat.

But there was nothing he could do; William was too young, so he could only wait patiently for his magic to passively increase.

Generally speaking, a wizard's magical power only stabilizes completely after reaching adulthood, and then experiences a significant increase.

Prior to this, William's combat skills, though proficient, were limited to a certain range.

After the battle ended and he left the classroom, William did not encounter Dumbledore.

To avoid Dumbledore and prevent him from interrupting the battle, William tried fighting in several different locations.

He was finally convinced that Dumbledore had installed a surveillance system in the castle. No matter which room the battle took place in, the headmaster could pinpoint the exact moment and find them.

William recalled a widely circulated rumor: Dumbledore knows every time you go out at night, every time you break the rules... he just doesn't say it!

William was able to fight Professor Flitwick for so long this time because he went to see the headmaster early in the morning, showed him the ring, and then told him not to bother him.

William no longer fights Professor Flitwick every day. As his progress becomes less noticeable, his fighting style has become more stable. What limits William is his insufficient magic power and the weakness of his spells.

In this situation, there's no need to come and "shock" Professor Flitwick every day!

William is also continuing to study Transfiguration.

The key to this is perseverance. By studying with Professor McGonagall every day for a year, William made a qualitative leap.

His progress in Transfiguration had long surpassed Cedric's.

According to Professor McGonagall, he could easily get an O in Transfiguration if he participated in OWLs now.

What William liked most was actually Potions making. Being able to mix and match Potions he wanted was such a wonderful feeling.

William spent a year concocting almost every Potions available to students below the fifth grade.

In Snape's hut, William also found his notebook, which contained his insights and improvement methods regarding Potions brewing.

William was deeply inspired after reading it.

Many of the techniques used completely overturn previous textbooks, making it a groundbreaking work.

The only regret is that William cannot brew those Potions that take too long to brew, because the next day, everything will return to square one.

Fortunately, most of the Potions taught at Hogwarts School Design don't take more than three hours to brew, so William could practice them.

He would usually brew a bottle of Baruffio's Brain Elixir after a battle; that stuff would make the drinker's mind clearer and make learning twice as effective.

William was walking down the long corridor when suddenly Dumbledore's deep voice rang out from the Quidditch Pitch.

He stood by the window, looking at the panicked crowd, and suddenly realized that the last time he watched a game was a year ago.

William was always focused on studying, neglecting everything else.

To be honest, William also wanted to participate in Quidditch Match; after all, what boy doesn't dream of playing Quidditch?

However, he knew his skills weren't up to par. If he trained for a year or two, given the current state of Ravenclaw's team, he would definitely be able to get in easily, without even needing to go through the back door.

But William didn't want to go in and get thrashed by other colleges. What kind of image would it have to have a genius like him getting utterly destroyed on the court?

That's a disgrace to time travelers.

Then the only option is to become stronger yourself.

William knew that the Seeker would be running in the fall, and he knew he couldn't possibly compete with his best friend for the position.

Therefore, William, who was known as the Little Prince of Three-Pointers" in his previous life, would definitely choose the Chaser position.

William turned his gaze toward Hufflepuff's group.

This is an opportunity—an opportunity to learn Quidditch.

William felt that he could join both teams and play as a player, which would greatly improve his skills.

Once William escapes the time loop, he becomes Quidditch master and leads the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team to victory in the Quidditch Cup.

William began to daydream again.
