Chapter 0029 Genius and Discharge from Hospital
_____________________________________________________________
According to Ye Ting's analysis, it was precisely because after Hermione got to know him, she reluctantly discovered that Ye Ting could beat her at everything, so Hermione, who refused to give up, had an obsession to surpass Ye Ting.
As a result, her obsession to surpass Ye Ting unexpectedly helped her fear overcome her fear of flying. This led to the accident.
At this time, Penelope, who was not familiar with Hermione, said to her.
"Miss Granger, you need to know that there are geniuses that exist in the world." While comforting Hermione, she cast a complicated look at Ye Ting: "The knowledge we have worked hard to learn, they just have to look at it once to learn; the magic that we can only use repeatedly with practice, they can cast it on their first try.
"In this regard, some people will still be unconvinced. They work hard and do everything they can to compete with geniuses. Sometimes hardworking defeat geniuses who slack. The worst case is that that genius not only learns faster than us ordinary people, but also works harder than us. In this case, ordinary people who want to surpass geniuses will only break their heads.
"But why compete with geniuses? We should accept the talent gap calmly, and then compare it with ourselves and the people who have the same talent so that we don't lose out self-confidence. It will only hurt ourselves to act so courageously."
"In addition," she looked at Ye Ting sadly and added, "Even I have never seen a second genius of his level. He is a real exception, don't you agree?"
Hearing her relief, Hermione nodded sobbing and felt relieved.
Ye Ting, on the other hand, could only touch his nose awkwardly hearing this said about him, which made him feel strange, but he took the opportunity to comfort Hermione.
"We all know your personality, so it doesn't matter how hard you try, but don't make jokes about your life to act tough. This time my injury, it's just a small thing. At least I have a chance to save you, but what if, again, I can't save you even if I get hurt?"
In this way, Ye Ting was coaxing and reasoned, and at last, Hermione stopped crying and burst into laughter.
He felt that he was treating these little girls as if he were taking care of his own daughter.
He really hopes that they can mature soon, otherwise...
Well, it's not easy to handle.
This morning's trouble in the infirmary was over, but this is the beginning of the helpless day.
After hearing that Ye Ting finally woke up, a line of visiting girls was once again welcomed at the entrance of the infirmary.
Soon, Ye Ting had to sink deep into a pile of fat and powder. He forced himself to smile stiffly and entertain one visiting girl after another.
For a while, his hospital bed was filled with all kinds of flowers and gifts.
Most of the gifts are food, but Penelope and Cho Chang are determined not to let him try it. They believe that there is a great possibility that the food delivered may have a love potion in it.
Next, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick also came to visit him one after another. The former greatly praised Ye Ting's behavior of giving himself up to save others and added 20 points to Ravenclaw.
After leaving the infirmary, Dumbledore secretly sighed to himself: the genius recruited from the Wool Orphanage this time did not go the wrong way.
In addition to his condolences, Professor Flitwick expressed to Ye Ting that he is very talented in flying, and hopes to recruit him to join Ravenclaw's Quidditch team.
Ye Ting himself is still quite interested in Quidditch.
In his previous life, he was not good at sports, so his interest in various sports was limited.
But after reincarnation, he not only has a strong magic talent, but also has a superhuman athletic ability - of course, it does not exceed too much, firstly because he is still underage today; second, because his strength, speed, and reflexes are not innate, but is his ability. He is able to grow with unlimited training.
So now he has a new interest in sports - who doesn't want to do more of what he's good at?
In his previous life, he had never participated in any sports activities, and his story of winning the attention of his fellow students and the popularity of women through soccer and basketball games was far from that of an otaku like him.
Second, though his main focus was still on learning magic and Hermione's training, now he has an opportunity to show off a little bit in front of others in his spare time, why not?
In this way, as he spends a long time with the little wizards, he sometimes became a little childish.
In other words, of course, Ye Ting was happy to play Quidditch, so he readily agreed to Professor Flitwick's offer.
. . .
. . .
Under the strong advice of Cho Chang and Penelope, Ye Ting reluctantly stayed in the infirmary for another day due to health considerations before he could be discharged from the hospital.
After that, he was discharged from the hospital.

Chapter 0030 Chaser and Challenge
After Ye Ting was discharged from the hospital, Ravenclaw's Quidditch captain and chaser Roger Davies immediately found him and sincerely invited him to join the Quidditch team as a seeker.
In Quidditch, each side had seven players, including three chasers, two beaters, a goalkeeper, and a seeker. Four balls will also be used in the game: a quaffle, two bludgers, and a golden snitch.
The goalkeeper is responsible for guarding the goalposts of his team and preventing the opponent's players from scoring goals; the three chasers are responsible for throwing the quaffle into one of the three goalposts of the opponent's team to win points; the two beaters protect their teammates from being hit by the bludgers and hit the ball to the opposing player; the seeker is responsible for finding the golden snitch on the field, catching it and ending the game.
The team that catches the Golden Snitch can win an additional 150 points, but this does not mean that the team will win, because the point difference between the two teams may be greater than 150 points.
Generally speaking, the player with the lightest bodyweight and the fastest flight can become a seeker.
"We also invited Cho Chang this year. I remember that she often hanged out with you." In persuading Ye Ting to join the team, Roger said, "If you come to be a seeker, she can be your substitute."
But Ye Ting doesn't want to be a seeker.
He felt that as a seeker, it was boring to fly the whole game just to find a ball. Not only was it monotonous, but also had little interaction with other people.
He prefers to be a chaser than a finder.
Compared with finding the snitch, the chasers in Quidditch are the most like players in football and basketball games, who cooperate to score goals or prevent opponents from scoring goals.
Ye Ting believes that his physical talent not only allows him to fly fast, but also gives him stronger physical confrontation ability and enables him to make more complex and difficult movements in flight.
The skill of finding a snitch is like Usain Bolt. Bolt could have caught the ball as fast as he could on a football field, Bolt can receive the ball as soon as possible, but that's all.
However, to become a real football player such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, they requires not only speed, but also conditions, such as physical fitness and other skills.
In Ye Ting's view, a person like him who has both of the above qualities, it would be too wasteful to become a seeker. On the contrary, he can give full play to all his abilities by becoming a chaser.
However, for Roger, Ye Ting's choice is very difficult to understand.
Generally speaking, becoming a seeker is one of the key positions on in the game and the most eye-catching.
On the other hand, chasers need higher ball holding skills and more complex cooperation. They can't play with flying talent alone.
"In that case, why don't you test my skills yourself?"
After finding that he couldn't convince Roger, Ye Ting suggested: "We both go one-on-one and take turns to attack with the ball. Whoever scores the first five goals will win. If I win, let me be the chaser, how about that?"
"Well, if you lose, you have to be a seeker."
"It's a deal." The two made an agreement.

Ravenclaw's team trains on Wednesday.
Feeling sure that he was going to win, Roger spread the news that he was going to fight with Ye Ting and one-on-one in advance.
On the day of training, many Ravenclaw's students came to the stadium early to watch.
Ye Ting did not arrive at the stadium early, and he did not leave the dormitory until ten minutes before the training time began.
His three roommates came with him. Although most people thought Ye Ting was a genius, they still felt that he would not be Roger's opponent.
However, his roommates have different opinions about this. They were accustomed to Ye Ting's endless outstanding talents, so they were convinced that he would not lose to Roger.
Along the way, they expressed their envy for Ye Ting again and encouraged him to defeat Roger and destroy the prestige of the seniors for the freshman.
When Ye Ting arrived at the stadium, Ravenclaw's players also arrived at the stadium early and started training.
Since there are too few boys in Ravenclaw, most of Ravenclaw's players and substitute players are girls.
Ye Ting also saw Cho Chang among them, and she also rode a broom to practice flying in the air.
She flew very well, and the flying skills of many senior players are not as good as hers. It was no wonder that she was able to be selected as a substitute player in her second year.
He also saw Hermione sitting in the stands and stood up and waved to him as soon as she saw him arrive. Surprisingly, Penelope also sat next to her. It seemed that since Ye Ting's hospitalization, the two had made friends in private.
In fact, this is also excusable. After all, they were both born as Muggles, and they are both top students. Presumably, the two have a lot in common.
