But it was different for Mikel. The light on his wand was very unstable. When it was the brightest, it was as dazzling as a searchlight, and when it was the weakest, it was not much brighter than a firefly. It seemed that it could go out at any time.
But the more this happened, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the more out of control he became. It had become a vicious cycle.
“Um, you…”
Kyle wanted to help him, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Mikel suddenly take a deep breath and then raise his hand holding the wand suddenly.
For no apparent reason, Kyle suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.
This feeling came so suddenly that Kyle had no time to think about it. He turned around almost instinctively, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.
Almost at the same time, a blinding light, like an exploding flash bomb, instantly enveloped the entire Charms classroom.
Although the sudden burst of light disappeared after a second, its impact was catastrophic.
Many little wizards were blinded by the strong light without any preparation. The next second, wailing sounds came from all directions. The little wizards covered their eyes, screamed, and pushed each other, trying to escape from this place. The classroom was in chaos.
Even Professor Flitwick was affected, but he was a professor who had experienced many storms after all, and was not as panicked as the little wizard. He endured the discomfort and comforted everyone in a shrill voice.
"It's okay, don't panic, just be quiet, you'll be able to see it in a while."
Although Professor Flitwick has tried very hard, the results are minimal and the classroom is still in chaos.
If you didn’t know, you would think Voldemort had broken into Hogwarts.
In addition, his direction was also reversed. During the whole process, he had his back to the little wizard and was shouting at the wall behind him.
This made the four wizards in the painting extremely disgusted. Although they were also frightened, the portrait was not a living person after all, and they would not be affected afterwards.
So in their opinion, Flitwick's behavior at this moment was as stupid as a Teboro hog with a broken head.
…
At this time, the only ones who could remain normal in the Charms classroom were Kyle, who had avoided the risks in advance, and a few lucky ones.
But they had no other way to deal with it, so they could only try their best to comfort their companions and help up the little wizards who fell down to prevent stampedes.
It was not until a few minutes later that the aftereffects of the strong light gradually subsided and the little wizards regained their vision.
"Oh, Merlin's beard, this is such a disaster."
Professor Flitwick rubbed his eyes and staggered down from behind the desk.
He just wanted to come down to comfort the little wizard, but because he didn't notice that he was going in the wrong direction, he missed a step and fell down.
Professor Flitwick was furious.
He has been in this business for decades and has experienced countless emergencies, big and small, such as a flying spell hitting a person, a levitation spell summoning a cow, or a lock-opening spell blowing up a lock. He has seen all of these and is not surprised at all.
Because all this was within his expectations... As freshmen, they were not familiar with magic, so it was normal for some problems to occur.
However, he never imagined that something as safe as the Illumination Spell could lead to an accident.
Professor Flitwick, with the anger and expectation of all the young wizards, came to the culprit.
Mikel lay motionless on the table. Professor Flitwick called him several times, but he didn't respond at all and continued to lie there peacefully.
Professor Flitwick also noticed something was wrong, and hurried to Mikel to check him out, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"He's still alive. He must have fallen into a coma due to overdrawing his magic power..."
Hearing this, Kyle also breathed a sigh of relief.
The magic overdraft here does not mean that the blue bar is empty, but that there is no energy left, which is equivalent to an ordinary person not sleeping for two days and two nights.
Professor Flitwick's eyes looked somewhat dazed.
Mana overdraft? Just because of a lighting spell?
In just a few minutes, this was the second time he doubted his life. He even began to wonder if he had stayed in Hogwarts for too long and had become somewhat ignorant.
Because throughout the thousands of years of wizarding history, he had never heard of anyone fainting from casting the illumination spell.
"Professor, how about I send him to Madam Pomfrey first?"
Seeing Professor Flitwick standing there in silence, Kyle said tentatively, "It's not good to just lie there all the time. It's better to go get a checkup."
"Yes... we need to go get him checked out. Take him there quickly."
…
After getting Professor Flitwick's permission, Kyle quickly used a levitation spell on Mikel and took him out of the classroom.
According to Professor Flitwick's character, he would definitely give extra points after seeing this scene, but now... he is lucky not to have lost points, so what else does he need?
…
Not long after leaving the classroom, Kyle saw a cat squatting at the corner... Not a cat girl, but a real cat, with two amber eyes staring at him without blinking.
"Mrs. Norris? Great."
Kyle said quickly: "A little wizard is injured. I need to go to Madam Pomfrey, but I don't know how to get there. Can you help lead the way?"
Although the location of the school hospital was marked on the map Cedric gave him, he had never been there and was not familiar with the specific route.
But this cat is different. It has followed Filch for many years and is very familiar with Hogwarts. It must know how to get there as quickly as possible.
It would be great if it would help.
Mrs. Norris tilted her head to look at Kyle and Mikel floating behind him, then stood up without saying a word and walked towards the stairs on the right.
Did he agree? Kyle hurriedly followed.
The two people and the cat shuttled between the stairs, and took a shortcut through a secret passage hidden behind a stone statue. In a few minutes, they arrived at a courtyard outside the auditorium.
There is a huge floor clock here, so it is also called the Pendulum Clock Courtyard.
When Kyle arrived here, Mrs. Norris was squatting next to the grandfather clock and pointed at the stairs behind her with her tail, motioning him to go up.
"Thank you. I'll bring you some dried fish."
Kyle reached out his hand and tried to rub Mrs. Norris's cat head, but she dodged it nimbly.
Mrs. Norris folded her ears, glared at Kyle with a warning look, then turned and walked away, soon disappearing.
"Oh, tsundere."
Kyle had no choice but to withdraw his hand angrily and take Mikel up the stairs.
Just keep walking up here and you will reach the school hospital. This staircase is fixed, so you don’t have to worry about it turning to another place halfway.
