This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 146 Bug: What are you looking at?

"Lab coat..."

Andrew couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the pure black object in front of him, which was inlaid with a large number of dragon scales.

He simply cleaned it and put on this thing that looked very safe - it is worth mentioning that this thing weighs at least 20 kilograms.

He could even see the densely packed unknown metal wires inside the thing and the various runes engraved on it.

I can only say that although it is called a lab coat in name, it can actually be considered a small suit of armor.

It may not fit, but it gives me a sense of security.

After casting the bubble head spell on himself, Andrew carefully placed the first egg on the completely empty table.

"Try... the limits of life first."

He took up his wand and began to experiment with transfiguration, trying to activate the life force without directing it.

'Growing rapidly?'

He felt the power changing autonomously.

In less than half a minute, the eggshell broke, and a half-formed chick pecked it open, then drooped its head limply - Andrew could clearly feel that its life was rapidly fading through the still-maintained Transfiguration.

"It just promotes its own growth, but the magic interference causes incomplete growth?"

He waved his wand, cleared the countertop, and pulled another egg from the frame in the ground.

"Repeat the experiment..."

……

[Without guidance, casting spells on living things will interfere with their growth process, whether it is toad eggs or chicken eggs, but more experiments are needed...]

After writing this in his notebook, he began to try the next aspect.

……

[When deliberately guided to change shape, the deformed product will become a huge sticky ball with several soft tentacles attached. It cannot move, but its reaction to external stimuli varies - in short, it is garbage.]

[When deliberately guiding it towards life, it will cause the deformation products to disintegrate, but the activity of the products is very strong and they will not die for a long time, causing the deformation to dissipate. ]

[When you intentionally guide it towards magic power, it will lead to... a scene that is hard to describe. It explodes... but there is no harm, instead it is like a ball of fireworks...]

Andrew hesitated as he wrote the last few words and began to clean the lab.

With the help of a clean slate, he quickly completed the job, then hesitated and began to repeat the experiment.

Fireworks, fireworks, and more fireworks…

"It shouldn't be..."

Andrew was sweeping with his wand while thinking, the first two were still somewhat clean, so how should I calculate this one?

Life force is converted into magic power, which then causes a magic explosion?

What is this limitation?
He tried changing the ratio, no longer pursuing the extremes, and began to refine it using the Flobberworm as a sample.

He created one Transfiguration after another that was even more unsuccessful than the previous one, but miraculously, no explosion occurred this time.

'I have no idea...'

He shook his head - he had no research on this.

"Let's get back to our original goal..."

Andrew took out the first notebook from his bag, and then recorded today's doubts in detail on the blank page in the middle. Then he put all his attempts behind him and began to seriously complete today's goals.

...

"This time there is more magic..."

'Recover, continue...'

He took a breath, then relaxed and waved his wand again. 'Yeah, just a little bit, just a little bit...'

The smoothness of the magic made him feel pleasantly surprised.

‘Success! ’

Andrew looked at the little thing crawling around on the table, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to poke it directly with his hands wrapped in dragon leather gloves. Instead, he used transfiguration to turn an egg into a wooden stick, and then poked it hard.

The force of the stab, which was enough to kill most of the insects, only made this guy shrivel up for a moment. He even tried to attack the stick - but unfortunately, his magical biological manifestation was not in attack.

"All petrified!"

Andrew raised his wand and shouted the spell directly.

But even with the strengthened petrification spell, it still only petrified half of the worm.

'What's this? Is my spell not strong enough? Or did I create a bug that I can't even kill?'

"The magic resistance is higher than that of normal bugs... Is it because of the Transfiguration?"

He didn't know - all the references to transfiguration of magical creatures were in the restricted section, transfiguration of Flobberworms was a fifth grade class, and few people would study the magic resistance of this thing.

'How do I detect the duration of Transfiguration?'

He looked at the bug, and the bug shook its half-petrified body and looked at him, their eyes meeting.

He had never read any information on this subject, and the professor had not provided any. The amoeba was made by the professor only because he pushed him to his limits and allowed him to hone the precision of his transformation.

After discovering that there was no idea of ​​any experiment with it, Andrew had no choice but to give up and start verifying the sustainability of the previous magic.

Although it still lacks precision, it can now succeed two out of five times. After wasting more than thirty eggs and feeling a little dizzy, Andrew came to the conclusion and put the bugs in a bucket.

'It's time to report the results.'

Enduring a slight headache, he cleaned the table, took off his heavy protective clothing, covered the bucket, and then left the laboratory to release the bubble head spell.

After finishing all this, Andrew took the bucket and went straight to Professor McGonagall's office.

-

"The experiment is over?"

The professor is checking the list for the last time - the freshmen will be boarding the bus tomorrow morning.

"It's over. There was no progress in the experiment. It's all questions. But the Transfiguration was successful."

Andrew briefly described his work and opened the barrel.

"Success?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face. "It worked. Very good."

She waved her wand, and the bugs that Andrew had difficulty controlling floated into the air.

"Excellent resistance and full of vitality. What's the success rate?"

"I can't demonstrate it now, Professor. When I did the experiment, it was successful about two times out of five."

"That's enough. You're still not proficient yet. Go back and have a good rest today. Don't overwork yourself. You'll be able to fully master this technique in about a week."

The professor thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to be on duty the day after tomorrow. I'll come to my office after class."

"It's a new semester... I'll say hello to Professor Sprout. You can go to the greenhouse to help in the morning and get familiar with herbs. Also... forget it, it's useless for you to take the magical creatures class now. Besides, Silvanus's class is scary enough in the third grade..."

"For the next period of time, you should not try to transfigure magical creatures. Instead, you should familiarize yourself with Muggle plants and creatures, as well as various herbs. Your goal is to be able to replicate them using Transfiguration within this school year."

"Also..." Professor McGonagall hesitated, "You don't have to submit your Transfiguration homework next semester. Just come here to mark it."

"Okay, that's all for now. Go back and rest. You're in a very bad state today. We can talk about it tomorrow."
