Chapter 42 42 Fly

Chapter 42 42. Flying

Neville has not done any research on how high a normal 11-year-old boy can jump from the spot.

But he is sure that as long as the boy is a normal person, even if a spring is added under his feet, he will never be able to jump to a height twice his height.

Unless the boy is a giant cub, even if he is only 11 years old, his height is already more than two meters.

But now Jon can't have giant blood, but the height he just jumped is enough to be on the same level with Hagrid, the tallest in Hogwarts. This is because the ceiling of the carriage obviously limits his performance, otherwise three meters is definitely not his limit.

And before he completed this achievement, he just recited a floating spell with ridiculous mispronunciation!

"How did you do it?"

Neville stared blankly at Jon, who had fallen to the ground, rubbing his head with excitement and pain on his face, and couldn't figure out how such a thing that violated magic was accomplished.

Jon obviously misjudged the effect of the levitation spell on his body. He could feel that his body had lost about half its weight. He thought that even if he tried to jump hard, he would not be able to jump to a height of three meters, but three meters was obviously too low.

Judging from the degree of dizziness caused by the head hit, Jon felt that if there was no ceiling limit, he could at least jump to more than four meters. Even if he practiced the force skills a little and exercised more often, it would not be impossible to jump to more than five meters.

Jon knew what this meant.

He was about 1.5 meters tall, and the ceiling of the carriage was more than 3 meters and 20 centimeters, which means that the height of his feet from the ground was more than 1.7 meters.

The world record for standing high jump is only 1.83 meters!

If there was no ceiling limit, when his body developed and he strengthened his exercise, Jon had enough confidence to increase this height by more than double.

Jumping more than three meters from the ground in one place was far beyond the physiological limit of humans.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the benefits of the levitation spell to him were definitely not only reflected in the standing long jump. As long as he was more familiar with the current feeling, he would definitely run faster and react more quickly.

In the magic world where most magic is directional skills, having such dexterity far beyond ordinary people is like playing LOL with a script - a tough guy.

Jon, who was in a very happy mood, did not forget to answer Neville's question.

"Just like you just saw, chant the spell, and then jump."

Of course, he was joking, but the honest Neville obviously took it seriously. He raised his wand with an incredible look on his face and used the levitation spell in the tone of Jon's chanting.

As a result, he did not change much, but the wrong spell set his holiday homework on fire.

After hurriedly putting out the fire, Neville actually thought it was a problem with his wand. He put down the wand and chanted the spell again. The clumsy action was compared by Jon to a stupid hippopotamus who wanted to escape, but ended up jumping on the spot with uncoordinated limbs.

"How did you do it?"

After two failures, Neville looked at Jon in disbelief again.

This time Jon did not lie to him again, but said seriously.

"I told you before that Professor Slughorn taught me something different. These things have a high learning threshold. It's not that I don't want to tell you Neville, but I promised the teacher not to tell this to others."

Neville could understand what Jon said. The Longbottom family is also an ancient wizard family with a historical heritage. He knows that although the academic school has become the majority of the magic world, some magic is taught privately between master and apprentice or father and son.

At the same time, Jon did not need to say more, and he also took the initiative to say that he would keep this matter confidential and would not tell anyone.

As for Neville's character, after getting along with him for half a school year, Jon certainly believed in it.

Besides, even if he told it out, it would be nothing. Since he had learned this kind of magic, he would definitely use it in the future, so sooner or later it would be known to others.

The huge change in his body did not make Jon forget to get on the scale. He measured his weight this time, which was half lighter than normal, about 16 kilograms.

He couldn't calculate the specific numerical measurement for the time being, but if his body weight was reduced by half and his body functions did not change, even if his jumping ability and speed could be enhanced, there would not be such an exaggerated change.

It is likely that when he jumped upwards, the levitation spell itself provided him with an upward force, allowing him to jump higher more easily.

But soon Jon also suppressed this excitement, restrained the urge to immediately run to Slughorn's office to tell him the good news, and continued to sit back at the desk and began to study the next spell combination.

Neville was very puzzled by his behavior.

"Haven't you tried it out? What else do you want to do?"

Jon shook his head and said seriously.

"It can only be said that the effect shown by this syllable combination so far is the most significant. Before all possibilities are tried, it cannot be said that it is definitely the most suitable, and it's just that this degree has not reached my initial expectations."

"What did you expect at the beginning?"

Jon said without raising his head while writing the next pronunciation combination on parchment with a feather pen.

"What is the effect of the normal levitation spell, and what I expect."

Neville didn't react to his words at first, and then he widened his eyes after thinking carefully.

"You still want to fly!"

"The levitation spell can't make me go into the sea or into the ground."

Jon said and started to try the next spell.

Even though he had seen Jon successfully apply the effect of the levitation spell to his own body once, Neville still felt a little difficult to accept Jon's "fantastic" idea.

After all, this world is about magic, and Jon's method is equivalent to magic in magic.

But he didn't say anything more. He had been slapped in the face once before, and Neville would not be stupid enough to stretch his face over and ask for a second slap.

Facing Jon, who could no longer be viewed with normal eyes, he chose to wait and see with reservations, in case he really saw Jon flying to the sky one day when he returned to the dormitory.

For the next three days, Jon never left the dormitory except for eating, and kept trying various combinations of pronunciations of the levitation spell, but he did not test a pronunciation combination that could exceed the best one so far.

Just when he was about to stay at home until the end of the Christmas holiday, Ron Justin and the others anxiously knocked on the door of Jon and his room.
