Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Okay, this project is finished. → Google search to read," Hogge raised his head, then pointed to the side, "Go to that device and run, as fast as you can, give it your all!"

"This?" Harry looked at the machine that resembled a treadmill. After he stood on it as instructed, he found that there was actually a moving conveyor belt under his feet.

"Good, run quickly. Actually, this project is supposed to have people mobilize their magic while running, but you've only just enrolled, so I suppose you don't know how to use magic yet." Hogge instructed while also telling the next person to come over and touch the crystal ball, answering without turning his head.

Hearing this, Harry naturally had no choice but to do as he was told. He tentatively walked on the treadmill a couple of times and found that the conveyor belt was very sensitive and wouldn't cause him to fall behind at all, so he put his foot down and sprinted.

But with Harry's weak physical strength, he couldn't support himself for too long, and he was panting after sprinting for only a few dozen seconds.

However, Hogge didn't care much. After noticing that Harry's speed had decreased, he told him to stop, then went behind the treadmill to record something.

After Harry rested for a while, Hogge ordered him to stand on the balance beam and try to get across.

Although this balance beam was about the width of a fist, its height of one meter still made Harry feel a little scared. After walking a few meters, he felt unsteady on his feet and fell off the side. Just as Harry thought he was going to fall and get hurt, he discovered that the air on both sides of the balance beam actually caught him like natural airbags.

After completing it once, Hogge didn't stop there, and made Harry walk it several more times, and he fell off almost every time, the furthest he got being only six or seven meters.

In contrast, Ron and Neville performed much better than him. Not only were their running speed and time good, but they also crossed the balance beam directly. Ron passed after trying 4 times, while Neville actually only took two tries to walk across.

The last device was similar to a seated press machine in gym equipment. Hogge first had Harry sit on it, and then two balloon-like things extended from the position of the handrails.

"Pinch those two balls with your hands, put more strength into it, this is to measure your grip strength, is that all you've got, put in some effort." Hogge urged Harry with a constant stream of chatter, while also staring at the device and recording in detail.

"Okay, after measuring your grip strength, it's time for your arm strength. See that metal bar above your head? Push it hard, yes, use all your strength!"

Under Hogge's direction, Harry successively completed several strength tests, including parts of his hands, arms, waist, legs, etc. After this whole set, he was almost exhausted. You have to know that they haven't even had breakfast yet, but now they're running and pressing, how could they not be tired.

After everyone completed the entire set of tests, Hogge smiled and said to them, "Alright, your physical examination for the new students ends here. The spellcasting examination is only for 2nd year students and above. In addition, physical examinations like this will be conducted every six months. If the results of the next test are worse than now, you'll have to be careful."

"Then... does this mean our physical examination is over?" Harry asked nervously.

"That's right, after you go out, eat if you want to eat, do whatever you want. You should know that there are no classes for the whole school this morning." After saying that, Hogge urged impatiently, "Hurry up and leave, don't waste my time here."

Hearing this, Harry and the others immediately exchanged joyful glances, and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Hogge, who was left in place, frowned and looked at the clipboard in his hand, muttering, "How can this kid Harry's physical fitness be so poor? He's not even on the same level as his peers."

After shaking his head helplessly, Hogge once again arrogantly directed the subsequent students.

This time, the school-wide physical examination activity lasted almost all morning. The four houses took turns completing the tests for the three major projects, and this physical examination experience made everyone feel very novel. →

When it came time for lunch at noon, a group of young wizards were still discussing it in the Great Hall.

"So you guys were beaten by Hogge during the second project's physical examination?" Harry looked at the twins whose faces were covered in scratches, his expression twitching, wanting to laugh very much, but he felt that it was too unkind, so he forcibly held it back.

"It's really haunted!" George clutched his left face in pain. "You tell me, how could we not cause trouble for that bastard Hogge when we saw him? How much pocket money has this guy cheated us out of? And Ron, you're part of it too, how can you still laugh?"

"Hahaha, you two together can't beat a dog? Aren't you too useless?" Ron wasn't as reserved as Harry, and covered his mouth, laughing at the two of them.

"That's because we were following the rules and didn't use our wands to cast spells! Otherwise, he'd be in for a world of hurt." Fred also had three or four claw marks on his face, and stubbornly said, "And that bastard is like he's taken drugs, his whole body is frighteningly strong. Guess what, George and I originally pretended to be very familiar with him, preparing to secretly take care of him after getting close, but Hogge actually didn't play by the rules and attacked first, as if he knew our intentions beforehand."

"Uh... is that so?" Hearing what the twins said, Ron couldn't help but smile awkwardly. They had taken the physical examination before the twins, which meant that the two of them being suddenly attacked might have something to do with him.

Harry also realized this at this time, so he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, what project did you guys take for the third physical examination? I heard Hogge say that it was a spellcasting examination?"

"You're asking about the last project? That was more interesting than the previous two examinations. The one responsible for giving us the physical examination was actually a house elf wearing tactical gear. She had us use all the spells we knew, constantly casting spells at humanoid targets, including self-defense spells, transfiguration spells, levitation spells, etc., and then recorded the values. I heard that high-grade wizards, if they know the Shield Charm, have to cast the Shield Charm to withstand the opponent's attack."

George talked non-stop, telling everyone about their experiences, and Fred also supplemented the others from time to time. Speaking of which, these two guys were really good at chatting, and Harry and the others listened with great interest.

"It's a pity, I don't know what this physical examination is for. If it affects our final grades, maybe we can find a way to cheat." Fred narrowed his eyes and kept muttering something.

"Ah? It's only just the beginning of the semester, how could this affect the final grades? And cheat? Is there even a way to cheat on this kind of physical examination?" Harry's eyes widened, and he looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Who knows what Anduin big brother is thinking?" George curled his lips speechlessly. "As for cheating, of course there's a way. For projects that test physical fitness, we can completely drink potions to increase our scores!"

"Isn't that a bit bad? What if Uncle Wilson finds out?" Ron also looked at them awkwardly at this time.

"Find out?" Hearing this, Fred and George looked at each other, and then shuddered all over at the same time. "That's right, if he finds out, wouldn't we be in trouble? No, that's really a bad idea."

Just as the few of them were chatting idly, Percy suddenly came to their side, "I just received instructions from Professor Wilson that everyone is to gather in the Great Hall at 7 o'clock tonight, and you must bring your identity tags from the entrance education equipment list!"

"Ah? Again?" Everyone, including Harry, was now a little allergic to the word 'gather'. They all drooped their heads instantly.

"We don't even know what it's about yet, why are you guys so pessimistic?" Percy rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"That's what you said yesterday too!" Fred glared at him dissatisfied. "And what happened? What we waited for was the bad news that we had to get up early every day, and our faces were all scratched!"

"That's what you deserve. If you and George hadn't been foolish enough to provoke the physical examination officer, would there have been this consequence?" Percy retorted, then turned around and walked towards the others. He had to convey the message to everyone as soon as possible.

……

On the other side, in the latest tactical training studies office, Anduin was having lunch while browsing through the lists collected by a group of physical examination officers.

When he glanced at one of the names and its corresponding physical examination results, Anduin's face suddenly changed, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

"Bang!"

Anduin punched the desk heavily with his right fist, suddenly making a loud noise, which even startled Hogge, who was also resting next door.

"What's wrong, sir, what's making you so angry?" Hogge couldn't help but ask after seeing Anduin's expression.

"How did that guy Dumbledore agree to me on the spot? He said that Harry would receive proper and safe care, but what about it?" Anduin angrily raised the parchment in his hand. "How old is this child, and he's already malnourished! There are even hidden injuries in his body, is this how he's taking care of Harry?"

"You're talking about Harry." Hogge understood why Anduin was so angry. "His physical fitness is indeed not very good, but his magic sensitivity is unexpectedly strong. Although his balance and agility are not good, they are very promising. The only thing that's a bit lacking is strength and speed, but these should be able to be made up for with acquired training."

"That still doesn't excuse Dumbledore's dereliction of duty! If this child had been given to me for adoption back then, would he be like this now?" Anduin pushed the lunch plate aside unhappily, then looked at Hogge again. "Next, help me keep an eye on Harry. I want to observe for two weeks first. If it really doesn't work, I'll pull him out separately for individual care. Otherwise, with his current condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up with the intensity of the training for the main group."

"Understood." Hogge nodded. "What about Ron and Neville, do you want me to keep an eye on them as well? Their potential is also good, and their room for improvement is also very large."
