Based on Ye Ting's analysis, it was precisely because Hermione, after meeting him, helplessly discovered that Ye Ting could outshine her in everything that the stubborn Hermione developed an obsession with surpassing him.
As a result, her obsession with surpassing Ye Ting actually helped her overcome her fear of broomsticks. That's what led to this accident.
At this moment, it was Penelope, who wasn't as close to Hermione, who comforted her.
"Miss Granger, you have to believe that there are indeed geniuses in the world," she soothed Hermione while casting a complex glance at Ye Ting. "They can learn knowledge that takes us great effort to grasp just by reading it once; they can cast spells that we need to practice repeatedly after just one try."
"Some people won't accept this. They strive, putting everything into competing with geniuses. Sometimes, hardworking mortals can defeat lazy geniuses. The worst scenario is when that genius not only learns faster than us ordinary people but also works harder. In such cases, ordinary individuals who try to surpass them will only end up battered and bruised."
"But why compete with geniuses? We should accept the gap in talent gracefully and compare ourselves to others of similar talent. That's the only way to avoid shattering our self-confidence. Being overambitious will only hurt us."
"Moreover," she glanced at Ye Ting melancholically and added, "I've never seen another genius of his caliber. He's truly an exception, isn't he?"
After hearing her comfort, Hermione nodded tearfully, feeling a sense of relief.
Ye Ting, however, could only awkwardly scratch his nose. Being spoken of like this in front of others made him feel a bit strange, but he seized the opportunity to comfort Hermione.
"Actually, we all know your personality, so it doesn't matter how overambitious you are. But never joke about your life while being overambitious. This time, my injury was just a minor thing. At least I had a chance to save you. But if you had another accident, and even if I were injured, I might not be able to save you. What should we do then?"
With his coaxing and reasoning, Ye Ting finally stopped Hermione's crying and made her burst into laughter through tears.
He felt like he was taking care of these girls like a father.
He sincerely hoped they would mature soon; otherwise...
Well, it would be hard to handle.
The morning commotion in the infirmary had passed like that. But what followed was the beginning of this frustrating day.
Upon hearing that Ye Ting had finally awakened, the infirmary doorway was once again lined up with a queue of visiting girls.
Soon, Ye Ting was trapped in a crowd of girls, forcing a stiff smile as he entertained one visitor after another.
In an instant, his bedside was filled with various flowers and gifts.
Most of the gifts were food, but Penelope and Cho Chang firmly refused to let him taste any, believing that there was a strong possibility that some of the food had been laced with Amortentia.
Next, Professors Dumbledore and Flitwick came to visit him successively. The former praised Ye Ting's noble act of self-sacrifice and awarded Ravenclaw 20 points.
After leaving the infirmary, Dumbledore couldn't help but marvel: The genius recruited from Wool's Orphanage hadn't gone astray.
Professor Flitwick, in addition to his condolences, told Ye Ting that he had a great talent for flying and that the college hoped to recruit him exceptionally to Ravenclaw's Quidditch team.
Ye Ting was quite interested in Quidditch.
In his previous life, he wasn't good at sports, so his interest in various sporting events was limited.
But now, not only did he possess powerful magical talent, but he also belonged to the category of superhumans in athletic ability – of course, not by much. Firstly, he was still a minor; secondly, his supernatural strength, speed, and reflexes were not inherently powerful but could grow without limit through training.
Therefore, he had a new interest in sports now – who wouldn't want to do more of what they're good at?
Firstly, in his previous life, he hadn't participated in any sports activities. The legendary plot of gaining classmates' attention and girls' welcome by showing off his prowess in football and basketball matches was far from him, a shut-in.
Secondly, although his main focus was still on learning magic and raising lolis, he now had an opportunity to show off a bit in his spare time. Why not take it?
Judging by this, after spending a long time with the young wizards, he had become slightly childish at times.
In summary, Ye Ting was of course happy to join the Quidditch team, so he readily agreed to Professor Flitwick's request.
...
Upon Cho Chang and Penelope's strong recommendations, considering his health, Ye Ting reluctantly stayed in the infirmary for another day before being discharged.
