Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Oh? Everyone gets 30 push-ups for a violation, including yourself. If you want to take responsibility for them, that's 120 in total." Anduin stared at him expressionlessly.

"I understand!" Joey's face showed some fear, but his eyes remained firm.

"No!" Lumen and Dan Tai already felt guilty because Joey was implicated by them. Now, seeing that he wanted to take the punishment for both of them, they felt even worse and quickly objected.

"It was our侥幸 mentality that made us ignore Joey's inspection. Now, we should take the punishment for Joey." The two faced Anduin and bravely raised their heads to shout.

Seeing the two of them thinking of him so much, Joey felt even more guilty. At the same time, he saw Lumen's arms trembling from exhaustion while doing push-ups, and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Enough, this isn't a Diagon Alley stall where you can haggle." Anduin coldly interrupted the three's scramble to speak. He wouldn't relax the standards because of this touching display of brotherhood.

"30 push-ups each, no excuses. Get on the stage and prepare now." Anduin shouted at them.

Seeing Anduin being so unsympathetic, everyone dispelled any侥幸 thoughts and had to honestly stand on the stage, lie down, and wait for Anduin's command.

"1!" "1!" "1!" "2!"

Still executing with obsessive-compulsive strictness, this scene not only exhausted the punished young wizards physically and mentally, but also made the young wizards watching from the audience feel lingering fear.

It was the first time they had seen such uncompromisingly enforced standards. This persistence and strictness brought a huge shock to their hearts.

Looking at Lumen, who had been punished for being late before, his face was now contorted with fatigue and exhaustion. Each push-up was accompanied by a roar, and his trembling could be detected with the naked eye.

In fact, Anduin had secretly lowered some of the standards at this time, because he knew that with these young wizards' physical abilities, they couldn't support so many standard push-ups. He was just stricter in supervising the first few.

But Anduin still kept a straight face, giving people a feeling of being merciless. As he finally shouted to 30, these young wizards finally let out their last breath. Especially Lumen, who had experienced two punishments, couldn't even crawl up now and could only be dragged off the stage by a few people supporting his shoulders.

After the punished people returned to their seats, Anduin continued expressionlessly, "Okay, that was the punishment for those with non-compliant attire. Next is the next item."

When Anduin finished the next item, the faces of the young wizards sitting in their seats became even more frightened. There's more? Are you really going through them one by one?

At this time, everyone was frantically recalling their behavior today, for fear of being caught.

Especially those who had already been punished before. They had all seen Lumen's miserable state. Now, waiting for Anduin to call their names was like waiting for the end of the world.

"Unregulated dining etiquette, third-year student, Cliff Palmer, talking loudly during lunch, second-year student, Julie Taimo, grabbing food with hands during dinner..."

As Anduin read out the names one by one, the named young wizards could only stand up with mournful faces. They really didn't expect that eating a meal would have someone staring at them so closely.

When Anduin read the last name, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

"Fourth-year student, Lumen Haywood, throwing food around during dinner and wasting more than half of it."

At this time, everyone couldn't restrain themselves from turning their eyes to Lumen, who stood up with a tearful face and looked at Anduin with a bleak expression.

This was his third time. The previous punishment had already taken his life, and now even raising his arms hurt terribly.

Seeing Lumen being called out again, Joey couldn't help it. After all, it was because he hadn't strictly followed the disciplinary requirements that Lumen had relaxed. This made him still feel guilty, so he quickly stood up and shouted, "Chief..."

"Report when you have something to say! Who allowed you to stand up?" Anduin glanced at him sternly.

Seeing this, Joey had to sit down honestly and shouted, "Report!"

"Speak!" Anduin looked at him coldly with his hands behind his back.

"Chief, Lumen's body really can't withstand such a punishment again. I think he already knows he's wrong, so please, please let him off this time." At this time, both Joey and Lumen looked at Anduin with pleading expressions.

"Oh? Lumen, do you really know you're wrong?" Anduin glanced at Lumen with interest.

"Yes, Chief, I dare not anymore." Lumen nodded like a chicken pecking rice, looking at him pitifully.

"So, what are everyone's opinions? Are you willing to waive his punishment this time?" Anduin looked around and asked everyone.

"He really looks like he can't handle it."

"Chief, why don't you let him off this time."

"I think he must have learned his lesson. Please spare him this time."

The other young wizards around all saw Lumen's miserable state and pleaded for him, including those who were also standing and waiting for punishment.

This made Joey and Lumen feel very moved and couldn't help but cast grateful glances to both sides.

"Oh? It seems you have finally learned a little bit of unity and friendship. This is worth praising." Anduin nodded with a hint of relief.

Joey and Lumen, who were standing, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Anduin was finally willing to let him go.

"But!" Anduin's face turned serious after praising everyone, "Although everyone is willing to forgive him, discipline does not allow it."

Hearing Anduin's words, everyone's faces stiffened, and Joey said anxiously, "But, Chief! ..."

"No buts!" Anduin looked at the two of them sternly, "If you make a mistake, you have to accept the punishment. This is called fairness. If you only punish the first two times, and the excesses can be saved with other excuses, then can't you violate the discipline at will in the future? Anyway, you only punish the first two times."

"We, we don't mean that, mainly Lumen's body really can't handle it. Otherwise, you can let him owe it and make him make it up tomorrow." Joey tried to fight for Lumen.

"What must be done today must be done today. There is no excuse for delay."

After Anduin finished speaking, he approached Joey and stared at him sharply, "Do you know what problems there will be if you always speak for others like this?"
