This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"Andrew, it seems you haven't gone to the Black Lake to cast spells for a while."

In late January, Hal suddenly said this after recounting today's news.

"Ah, casting spells by the black lake?"

Andrew came back from the school gossip, "Yes, I don't need to cast spells anymore, at least not before spring comes. I graduated from that training."

"Great, let's go to the mutual aid meeting!"

Hal looked happy.

He mentioned the mutual aid club to Andrew a few days ago, and Dora happened to go there alone - Hal himself had average grades, but was well-informed, and decided to work harder on the road to winning the Academy Cup.

"About what time, I'm not sure I can make it there..."

Andrew was a little moved - he had to admit that after reading Mr. Nick's works, he also became interested in alchemy, and it was obviously easier to get started with those subjects by communicating with students in the same group than by studying on his own.

'At least I need to get all the grades above E, of course, astronomy and stuff like that...'

"One on Wednesday and one on Saturday, both in the afternoon. Participation is not compulsory."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go on Wednesday. The time conflict is severe. Is it feasible to only go on the weekend?"

"Of course, no problem."

Hal patted his chest and assured himself - after all, Ravenclaw only has guys with ulterior motives, not real fools...

He really couldn't imagine that there would be anyone in Ravenclaw who would try to fight against this guy Andrew, no matter which faction.

"Well, okay, it's settled - I'm going to the library, are you with me?"

Andrew stood up, gave Hal a high-five, turned around and started packing his schoolbag.

"I'm going too, just in time to finish my homework. How about you?"

Kevin stood up and started packing his things.

"I won't go, I have some things to sort out..."

Hughes shook his head and returned to his seat. As for Bell, he went directly to the court for substitute training after lunch - which meant that today's post-lunch symposium was over again.

——

"It's really, really interesting, really interesting..."

In the library, Andrew murmured in a low voice. If it weren't for the environmental restrictions that prevented him from casting spells, he would even try such a deformed transformation technique.

Okay, the use of deformity is really harsh, but for a fourteen-year-old student who can master the secret of human body transformation, but cannot turn a hedgehog into a pincushion, such an evaluation is not too harsh. .

‘Even the most basic spellcasting uses myself as the experimental subject. It’s really... a scary sequence. ’

The original material is a mixture of English, Ugandan, and Swahili. Because of the Muggle influence, this material is not so difficult to get started, but it still requires a lot of language learning.

Compared with a translation that loses its essence, the original text will obviously have a better effect - this is also the meaning of Professor McGonagall giving him the original material.

For him, the next step in learning the art of transformation is to focus on rule analysis, and gradually start to dabble in body transformation and the advanced transformation of reincarnation from the dead.

Wagadu's research in this area is more in-depth than Hogwarts, and it is also the top learning material - but the threshold is extremely high, and it is not something that ordinary students can dabble in.

'Thanks to our dear Professor Lockhart for open source, otherwise the language alone would have consumed a lot of my time. ’

After confirming that he had learned a lot today, Andrew clipped the bookmark, stretched and stood next to Kevin and whispered, "Let's go?"

"Walk."

——

"By the way, Taylor is coming today, you know that, right?"

In the study mutual aid group, the originally leisurely students became nervous one by one.

No, isn't this mutual aid group a group where everyone discusses making progress together and sprinting towards the top spot? Why would you invite such a pervert to come over?

That hand deformation technique makes the sixth graders nervous when they see it!

"Come on, it just so happens that we share the difficult problem of transfiguration, and he also needs to develop other subjects, right..."

"That's true, compared to Miss Granger, his other subjects are really insignificant..."

There were bursts of laughter in the group.

Fortunately, the other subjects can't be studied, otherwise the rest of the second graders would have chosen to give up - if they were ranked first in all subjects and could still do odd jobs, what would others be doing!

"Oh, Hughes, and Andrew, you two are here, great. Where is Nash? He's not here yet, wait a moment..."

This is an empty room near the dean's office, which was directly used for decoration - the last time Andrew checked, it seemed that this was the room of the club under the dean's name, but it had not been taken back after it was suspended for a long time, and other colleges also Almost, it can be regarded as a free place in the hospital.

‘Professor Flitwick’s support is extraordinary. ’

Andrew sat on the sofa and watched the sixth-grade prefect start to preside. "And, um, for three minutes, everyone can communicate privately. We will still start on time. The old rule is that the fifth-grade students come first."

Before the deadline, two more people hurried in. After they sat down, the prefect announced the start. A fifth-year student stood in the front without hesitation, "It's still the same as before, starting with the curse, I'll go first..."

"We are reviewing all subjects recently. This is true for all subjects, but there are still some questions that I don't understand about the magic spell. Well, the clear water is like a spring spell..."

He started to demonstrate calmly, without even introducing himself. The wand cleverly shot a stream of water into the air like a fountain, then gradually fell to the ground and finally dissipated.

"It's like this. I can control the flow of water and disappear time, but it is essentially a liquid created by magic, but it can be drank. And after the spell disappears, I can't control the water - the difference between it and food Where is the connection?”

?

Andrew, who was already very interested, became even more interested now - this kind of research is really great, isn't it?

But this and first place in the exam...

It doesn't matter much, right?

The magic exam will not test such profound content... at least not the transfiguration.

"It's not part of the exam, but I can answer you, because the relationship between spells and transfiguration is not that profound, just like you can't use transfiguration to reproduce the most basic offensive spell, the disarming spell. Its essence is summoning Water comes out, instead of conjuring water, and actually, if you cast the spell in a desert area, the spell will feel much more difficult than it would have been before."

A seventh grader who intervened (Andrew didn’t recognize him, but judging from the seats and the attitudes of the sixth graders around him), he leaned lazily and replied, “Of course, this sounds a little unbelievable, but the fact is, Defense Against the Dark Arts has an extremely difficult spell to summon a patronus, and its casting materials are even ethereal but real happiness."

‘So, it absorbs the surrounding water? No. Summon nearby water? But there is still a difference when summoned... It's just that the additional magic power dissipates quickly? ’

Andrew guessed, but he could only guess - he knew nothing about clear water like a spring, but when it came to transformation...

'The transfiguration of the Vagadu system does contain the concept of summoning, but it is the existence of spirit... But the traditional transfiguration system, at least the traditional transfiguration system that I have come into contact with, does not include this concept...'

'It's true that the transformation spell can't imitate the disarming spell... It makes sense... I can at least think about other magic. The transformation spell can't be used to transform the opponent's wand. This is not ordinary nonsense...'

'At least my current magic is not enough to transform the opponent's wand, and I have already hit him, so why should it work on the wand? ’

Even now, Andrew has the ability to make his opponents suffer from transformation spells - although he lacks magic power, he has been able to break through most wizards' own magic resistance to transformation spells after coming into contact with the rules.

'You're right... Let the seventh graders answer the questions... Really, Dean, how much effort have you put in...'

Andrew was deeply moved.

But there was no time to be impressed - because the exchange meeting was limited in time, the second person came up almost immediately after the first person asked.

"Transformation. I am currently experimenting with transforming large objects, but the effect is very average... The average size is fine. Once the object exceeds the sofa, the effect of the transformation will be sharply reduced..."

"Try it, um... try to deform a simple substance. The sofa contains too many substances. It is too difficult to treat it as a whole."

Another seventh grader hesitated for a moment before answering.

Then he looked at Andrew with a questioning look.

'I? ’

No, in this case - well, I really do.

Andrew sighed. It was unreasonable to hide this kind of field of shared knowledge.

"I'm skipping a step. Well, you try group deformation first. Well, try it with ants, and then think about making them more widely distributed. Your control over the deformation technique should not be able to expand, so this situation will occur. ”

Andrew thought for a moment and replied like this - this question didn't bother him. He tried too many things because he didn't have enough magic power. This was considered his personal training trick.

"Is this like this? Okay, I'll try it when I get back!"

…

The fifth graders were still next. After asking the questions, they hurriedly left the room - there was no way, the time of fifth graders was extremely precious, in seventh grade terms.

‘Send away the fifth-grade guys first, and then we’ll come slowly one by one. Everyone’s time is not that valuable anyway, and it’s always good to listen more. ’

So, then the second grade begins.

After all, the recruitment threshold is to be close to the first place in last year's exam, and at least have the strength to develop to the first place. There is no exam in the first grade. Although there are obvious good talents, they are not convincing enough.

As for those who performed poorly last year, they can only hope that their results this year will be enough and they will be admitted.

There is no way - after all, our time is not as cheap as the prefect said. We can't wait for you to come over and ask how to do the homework after class, right...

"The curse still takes priority, Nash."

"OK!"

Nash almost couldn't wait to stand up and began to ask his own magic questions - compared to fifth grade students, the current questions are difficult in the standard examination. Although they may not be tested, they are within the scope of examination.

The most important thing is that Andrew can understand it too.

After all, he started to put in some effort after being pulled out by his dean for a private lecture. Although he just previewed in advance and made sure that he could cast spells, the second grade could only pull it off like that...

Then comes potions, but everyone is almost equally not good at this - fortunately, senior students can still solve it.

Not that good, just unable to take first place, not that bad.

"What about you, Taylor?"

"Questions about spells..."

Andrew spoke several questions with great enthusiasm - he didn't get anything for free anyway.

There was no doubt that even the seventh graders didn't need to help, as several seniors could easily answer his questions, after all, the questions were of average difficulty.

But no one looked down on him - my god, this kid actually had a better solution to a problem that the seventh graders couldn't solve, and he was also a big shot who was pulled over by the professor to take charge!

So, the third-year student who was good at transfiguration asked a question that was not within the scope of the exam without hesitation, and then quickly got several answers.

…

"It's a great harvest..."

Two hours passed almost in the blink of an eye, and Andrew took out his notebook directly when he reached the middle part.

Under his leadership, several people followed suit and recorded together.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just write it down and use it later!

'I don't know if it's an illusion, it may not be an illusion...'

Andrew was even a little afraid to speak - he was afraid that his dean would scold him.

But after thinking for a long time, he still came to the dean's office after the exchange meeting and knocked on the door.

——

"So, that's it?"

"That's probably it..."

Andrew sat down obediently, not daring to speak loudly.

He felt that he was on a strange path.

At first, the magic that the fifth-year student asked was too advanced for him to understand, but after the third-year student started asking questions, his understanding of spells began to change.

Yes, the understanding of spells - from the third grade, Andrew began to be able to use Transfiguration to analyze some spells.

Self-study was not enough, but after the seventh- and sixth-year students began to explain, the difficulty was reduced, and even from some of the essences they said, Andrew could understand it with the Transfiguration system...

In other words, he began to use Transfiguration thinking to analyze spells.

This was simply a heretical idea...

But, to his surprise, the professor's eyes became gentle.

"Probably, there's nothing wrong with that."

"In alchemy, many things are even connected... Although the essence of spellcasting, spells, gestures are different, and the power of spells also varies, there is still unity."

"Don't look at me like that, Taylor, I have also studied alchemy, or rather, no wizard who tries to go further on the path of magic has not studied alchemy. After all, it integrates the ultimate fantasy of most systems."

"Good job, keep researching, this is a good topic, of course, don't think that it's all, spells are spells, not transfiguration..."

The professor smiled kindly, "You can come to me if you have any questions, of course, don't learn basic spells..."
