Whether against the aforementioned bludgers or any of things flying instructors liked to throw at you, or the sudden bucking of your mount be it cursed broom or agitated creature.

“The ability to react on the spot is important. Sometimes it’s not your flying you have to watch out for, but others in the sky.” It reminded Kennedy of driving. One could be an excellent driver but others could be reckless.

"Good balance and good perception of your surroundings are abilities I would like to have as a good flier." Balance was key to not falling off your broom and perception was equally important so you didn't for example fly straight into another flier or a tree.

“Balance and perceptions are great abilities to focus on mastering. If you lack either of the two it could not only put yourself at risk, but others as well.” And in this class he taught the students to be responsible for themselves and the way their flying affects others. It was a chain reaction.

He noted that the chest was rather silent now. Hmmm.

Useful skills for flying. The Hufflepuff raised his hand almost immediately but of course waited on his turn to be called. “Proper initiative. While flying, there are all sorts of situations that may occur so it would be wise to be able to think quickly, sometimes even in an ‘out of the box’ manner, for a solution to avoid any disaster.”

"Yes,” Kennedy agreed with Jude’s statement. “It’s always important to assess the situation you find yourself in, and sometimes that requires a person to react fast and on the spot.” Of course, a lot of factors came into this and it wasn’t easy for everyone, as they all dealt with different things, and/or might be dealing with something at the moment. Which is why one of his focuses is always on centering the mind.

She had to stifle a giggle when the professor said "dive in" right after recapping the previous lesson topic of diving. Was that an intended pun or just a funny coincidence? Whatever the case, there was no time to think about it now. Desiree considered the question carefully. After a few moments lost in thought, an idea came to her, and she raised her hand. "You need good focus,"she said. "If you let yourself get distracted by other things going on around you, you put yourself and others in danger."

At Desiree’s response, Kennedy nodded. “Focus is a great ability to hone when it comes to flying. It is the difference between success and disaster.”

In order to make sure you're not flying recklessly in a way that will get you hurt." That was his second line of thought. "They apply both in flying class and in real life, as well as in other situations."

“Being responsible for your actions is another great example,” Kennedy nodded. “Sometimes the lack of it creates accidents when they could have been avoided.” He was glad this was brought up.

He was proud of this lot, he really was. They thought out of the box and considered more than just a broomstick when it came to skills. “All great points,” Kennedy started. “When you’re flying it is important to hone skills such as reaction time, balance, perception, initiative and being aware of your own actions. All of these make a huge difference when it comes to safety and accidents.”

“All of those skills come to play especially when we mix spellcasting with flying, and that is going to be our main focus today.” Were they excited? Because he was. “As witches and wizards, we rely on magic for many things, the list is infinite. I’d like to know what are some scenarios in which you believe spellcasting while flying is useful and/or important?” He raked his eyes over the crowd of students, watching the wheels in their head turn. “Along with that, I’d like you to think and share what tactics are important to keep in mind while casting and flying?”

The activity he had held earlier in the term informed him the students were not as prepared when it came to flying one-handed. He didn’t blame them. It wasn’t easy. Which is why he wanted to know their thoughts and have them share with the rest of their classmates.This way, in a few moments, they could put to play what they just discussed.

OOC: Hello! I appreciate you all keeping up with me. Your character could answer both questions or choose one that stands out to them. I will be posting again tomorrow. Happy Sunday! <3
