Chapter 5: Will Ordinary Wizards Be Allowed to Live? (Two Chapters in One, 4000+)
The three-person team finally stepped into the classroom before class.
"I bet! Those stairs must be deliberately targeting us to make us late." Ron rubbed his still red nose and was the first to step into the classroom, glanced at the empty podium, and finally It was a relief.
"It seems that we are not too late. The professor hasn't arrived yet." Harry also glanced at Ivan with some luck at this time. Fortunately, he got up early today, otherwise he would definitely be late.
"No, I think the professor has arrived." Ivan ignored the two people's words, but glanced at the tabby cat on the podium, and then quickly returned to his seat.
Harry and Ron were confused, but after they sat down, they saw the tabby cat on the podium suddenly jump off the stage, his body twisted and deformed, and by the time he landed, he had transformed into a middle-aged man. The young witch is none other than Professor McGonagall!
Harry and Ron were stunned. Then they understood what Ivan meant just now, but they didn't understand how Ivan knew that the cat was transformed from Professor McGonagall?
Professor McGonagall was also surprised. She took the form of Animagus firstly to observe the situation of this class of young wizards, and secondly she also used the transformation of Animagus as the transformation technique. At the beginning of the class, I didn't expect to be recognized by a student.
Nodding to Ivan with slight approval, Professor McGonagall began the teaching content of the first Transfiguration class.
"Before we begin, I would like to remind you that Transfiguration is one of the most complex and dangerous spells you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone who wants to be naughty in my class , get out of here right away and never come back again!”
Professor McGonagall waved her staff and turned the podium in front of her into a pig, and then turned the podium back again amidst the exclamations of many young wizards.
Ivan sat in the front position and could see the entire transformation process clearly.
Accurate, fast and flawless
Transforming a podium made of wood into a conscious creature is tantamount to directly changing the structure of matter, and even temporarily giving intelligence to dead creatures. The mystery and power of magic are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
The magic in the wizarding world may be slightly inferior in destructive power, but in other aspects it is unique, comprehensive and complete!
Professor McGonagall's demonstration immediately aroused the interest of the little wizards. After explaining the methods and techniques of releasing the transformation spell, he gave a match to all the students, with the goal of turning the match into a silver needle. .
When Professor McGonagall began to explain the transformation spell, a reminder rang in Ivan's mind.
[Ding, you listened carefully to the professor's explanation and found the content a bit obscure. Your proficiency in the transformation spell has been slightly improved]
Ivan brought up the information column and took a look. Sure enough, there was an extra line of information in the magic column.
[Transfiguration Spell Level 0 (6/100)]
Ivan was immediately happy to see that the content was as he expected. This meant that no matter what kind of magic it was, he could quickly learn it by simply practicing it repeatedly to increase his proficiency.
However, after practicing repeatedly for half a lesson, Ivan realized that it was not as simple as he thought.
"Ivan Hals!"
"Mr. Hals!"
The stern and high-pitched voice echoed in the closed classroom, attracting the attention of the little wizards in the front and back rows.
It wasn't until Professor McGonagall who had just spoken suddenly turned her head that the little wizards turned back angrily, waving their staffs over and over again at the matches in front of them in distress or entanglement, trying to make it happen even a little bit. son's change
Professor McGonagall looked around and saw that the matches on the table of a certain little witch with disheveled hair had changed significantly. They looked more or less like needles. Then she loosened her tightly pursed lips and showed a trace of satisfaction. look.
After warning the little wizards who were still fishing with his eyes, Professor McGonagall was able to turn his gaze to the dazed boy in front of him and spoke sternly.
"Mr. Hals, I think I should have warned you before that the release of magic spells is very dangerous. You should stay focused before releasing magic!"
"In addition, repeated mechanical exercises will not provide much help. I think you should be more careful, focused, and imagine what the silver needle looks like."
"Yes, Professor McGonagall, I will pay attention." Ivan Hals nodded politely, concentrating under the witch's gaze, and the wand nearly twelve inches in his hand waved in the air with a strange frequency.
On the black and gray wooden table, a match seemed to be driven by some kind of force out of thin air, twisting and deforming, slowly changing its shape under the influence of magic.
However, just as the match was slowly deforming, it seemed to have been disturbed by something, and it instantly changed back to its original state.
This situation did not seem to be beyond Professor McGonagall's expectations. After seeing this situation, he just nodded, left a message to practice more, and turned away. After all, most of the young wizards who had just entered school were like this. It's just the level.
Ivan Hals was left muttering to himself and sighing softly.
"It seems that accumulating proficiency is not that easy."
After trying for most of the class, Ivan no longer had the excitement he had before.
Because the growth rate of proficiency has slowed down after the early surge, and proficiency cannot be increased every time.
After a period of exploration, Ivan felt that this was not so much practicing to increase the proficiency of skills, but rather showing his own level in the form of proficiency.
After most of the class, Ivan couldn't even stabilize the transformation spell for a long time.
Just when Ivan Hals was absent from the Transfiguration class, he was suddenly poked several times with his fingers.
Ivan turned his head and realized that Harry, who was looking excited, was pointing at the thin, faintly shiny unknown objects on the table in front of him and shouting loudly.
"Hey, Ivan, look, I did it, I did it!"
"Well, yes Harry, you are very powerful and very talented!" Ivan glanced at the unknown objects on the table and nodded, starting the first Transfiguration class of the school, which can make matches change significantly and last for a long time. The fixed form is already at the upper level among young wizards. At the very least, it is much more powerful than him.
"Really? I didn't expect it either. You have to know that my uncle and the others are all Muggles. Before I entered school, I always doubted whether I could cast magic."
After receiving Ivan's approval, Harry also spoke out all his previous concerns and worries.
Before entering the magical world, Harry was just an ordinary eleven-year-old boy. Suddenly he became the savior in the eyes of everyone. Although he received unimaginable attention and honor, he also took on unimaginable responsibilities. Imagine the pressure.
Harry even thought about the embarrassing situation of not being able to learn magic, but fortunately the situation did not become so bad.
Ivan was not surprised that Harry learned magic quickly. After all, the Sorting Hat had made it very clear when assigning colleges that he was brave, kind and extremely talented!
The Sorting Hat even suggested that Harry enter Slytherin House. In his third year, he even used the Soul Guard he had just learned to destroy or drive away hundreds of dementors.
If the liberal education at Hogwarts hadn't been too joyful, it is estimated that this extremely talented savior would have had professor-level strength before graduation.
In this regard, Ivan said that he was not envious, not at all.
After all, there are only a few talented little wizards.
Ivan peeked around and found that most of the young wizards were at his level. He breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he heard Professor McGonagall's high-pitched voice again.
"Very good, Miss Granger! Everyone can see that Miss Granger successfully transformed the match into a silver needle. Five points for Gryffindor!"
In the aisle a few steps away from Ivan's seat, Professor McGonagall was holding a silver needle high, signaling to the little wizards around him.
Miss Granger, who was sitting upright, with shaggy gray brown hair scattered disorderly on her shoulders, was raising her little head proudly, accepting the looks of surprise or surprise from the little wizards around her.
Ivan stared blankly at the silver needle, and his newly adjusted mentality exploded again in an instant.
Will this allow ordinary wizards like them to live?
"Damn, it's just a little bit worse! If I had practiced a little longer, Professor McGonagall would have praised me now." Ron poked the table with the wand in his hand and stared at Hermione depressedly, as if Angry at the glory that was taken away from him.
Ivan glanced at the unknown object on Ron's desk that had lost its magic power and turned into a match again. He felt that Ron would not be able to reach Hermione's current level even after a few more classes.
Although he's not much better, it's even worse.
Ivan sighed helplessly, where is the talent report after the time travel? Is it said that soul fusion will lead to a substantial increase in mental power?
The common routines in various novels were not reflected in Ivan at all. Only then did Ivan understand how pertinent the Sorting Hat's evaluation of his talent was.
Of course, the transformation technique has never been stable. Ivan guessed that in addition to talent, the other part should be due to the sharp decrease in the fit of the wand caused by soul replacement.
If magic is equivalent to electricity, and the wand is equivalent to plugs and wiring, then magic is equivalent to various electrical appliances.
Nowadays, short-circuit problems occur from time to time in the wires, and the lights naturally work sometimes and not work.
However, Ivan has not been able to solve the problem of the wand in a short period of time. I am afraid that this wand will last a semester.
After another battle of wits and courage with Match for a period of time, the first transfiguration lesson finally came to an end. Until the end, Ivan was unable to stabilize Match's transformed form.
Instead, he discovered a useless little trick, that is, after condensing and releasing the magic power through the wand in an orderly manner, a slender magic beam can be formed. The only function is to return the unstable transformation technique to its original shape.
This was discovered by Ivan accidentally when he almost blew up the match after he failed to release the transformation spell for the Nth time. Apart from using it to tease Ron in the transformation class, it had no other use.
Just when Professor McGonagall announced the end of get out of class on the stage, another voice also sounded in Ivan.
[Ding, after the unremitting efforts of the host, the Transfiguration class is over. Please keep up the work.
Comprehensive evaluation of this class: Moderate
Reviewer: Minerva McGonagall
Reward: Academic Grade Points*5
】
Looking at the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Ivan had never thought of it before.
Can I still get rewards for taking classes?
Ivan was a little surprised, especially when he saw the three words "Academic Points", he couldn't stop complaining about how it was the same as when he was in college.
It seems that the evaluation is still done by professors of various subjects.
Shouldn't there be a final exam, and there should be corresponding rewards and punishments for those who do well or do poorly?
Of course, complaints are complaints. Ivan is still very happy to be able to discover a function of the system again, but he just doesn't know what this academic point can be used for?
Ivan noticed the grade point thing as early as after triggering the system panel.
Perhaps because it has not been obtained before, the relevant functions have not been turned on. After this time, it didn't take long for Ivan to find the new exchange option in the panel.
What makes Ivan slightly disappointed is that there is only one lonely academic experience card in the entire redemption column. The exchange requires one hundred academic points, and the effect is to greatly improve the efficiency of learning within an hour.
There was nothing like exchanging powerful magic or forbidden spells that Ivan had imagined before.
Is this the rhythm to carry learning to the end?
Ivan looked at the five grade points he had obtained after studying one class, and suddenly felt a little desperate. Hogwarts only had three to five classes a day.
Based on five grade points per class, wouldn’t it take five full days to redeem a one-hour academic master experience card?
Isn’t this too confusing?
What can you learn in one hour?
But at this point, Ivan has no other way. Apart from this exchange, Ivan has no other way to improve this inefficient learning efficiency.
What else?
study hard
After the Transfiguration class, the boring History of Magic class came next. Professor Binns, who taught the class, was an old-fashioned ghost. He spent the entire class talking to himself, not paying attention to the children below. The situation of wizards.
This made Ivan a little uncomfortable. The achievement of academic grade points was obviously related to the professor's evaluation of his performance in the class, and the teaching method of the history of magic class did not even give Ivan a chance to improve his evaluation.
After the whole class, Ivan once again received a medium evaluation and five grade points.
But soon, Ivan understood the benefits of the history of magic class.
Because in the next magic class, we will learn how to apply magic smoothly to objects and affect them, which is the basis for learning the floating spell. Due to the interference of the wand, it took Ivan a whole class to finish it. It was almost successful, and the props used to cast spells were blown up three times!
His grades were only slightly better than Neville's.
Miss Granger, the fastest, succeeded after only three releases.
For this reason, Ivan received a negative rating in the class evaluation without exception, and his academic score was only two points.
The only good news is that after a few days of wandering around, the progress of the [Exploring Hogwarts] task in the task tree has reached 30%, and an average of two academic points are awarded for every one percentage point increase. , a total of sixty academic points were obtained, which was much faster than the reward of attending classes every day.
Ivan finally saw the hope of collecting 100 academic points and redeeming them for a top student experience card.
I really can’t find the location of the broken chapter, so I will post the two chapters together. In addition, I would like to thank everyone for their investment in the new book. Your support is the greatest encouragement to me.
