Chapter 378 Success and a New Beginning

"Are you ready, Taylor?"

"I'm ready, Professor."

In Professor McGonagall's office, Andrew held his wand gently, full of confidence.

He has read about the full body deformation technique many times, and he has become proficient in the regional deformation technique. Today is the day to complete the full body deformation.

"Let's get started, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall was as decisive as ever, and Andrew had no intention of stopping. He raised his wand, felt the communication, and began to cast a spell.

Just like the previous times he cast the spell, he directly spread the power of the spell to his entire body, but this time he removed the protection of his head - the power of the spell surged out, spreading to his entire body, even to the wand, and his whole body began to change rapidly, and his right hand holding the wand turned into a red furry paw.

"Although the last few times I was almost completely covered in it, this time it felt completely different, like I was covered in a shell that I could poke open with my hand."

"That's perfect, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall's voice came, and Andrew turned to look at the professor - because he was shorter, he remembered the perspective from which he looked at the professor last year.

But a completely deformed human body cannot speak, and Andrew tried, and he almost laughed out loud - he made a baboon roar.

"Look in the mirror, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall couldn't suppress a smile on her face. She waved her wand and a mirror stood up on the desk facing Andrew.

Andrew looked into the mirror - a very novel experience, he saw a red-haired baboon that couldn't be more standard.

'Perfect transformation.'

He evaluated it in his heart, then followed his heart and made a stroke with his right hand holding the wand - much more smoothly than expected, he returned to his previous state.

"Perfect transformation, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall's face was full of smiles. She no longer tried to control her expression. "Yes, a perfect Transfiguration. Except for the Summoning, which requires you to work a little more on the spell to be able to cast it perfectly, you have mastered the rest of the Transfiguration courses perfectly."

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Professor."

Andrew spoke very seriously - he knew better than anyone how important the guidance of the professor in front of him was, and how precious the professor's time was.

"It would be nice if simple instruction could produce such an outstanding student," Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Like I told you this semester, you have to try to go your own way and use Transfiguration as a foundation to learn other subjects, or continue to delve deeper into Transfiguration."

"I still need some time to accumulate experience before I can make a decision, Professor," Andrew said very seriously - he had thought about it a few days ago, and he was far from the time when he had to make a decision like a graduate, so he might as well delay it a little longer and come up with something interesting and subversive.

"Then let's wait and see. Anyway, I have never encountered a precedent like yours. I can still give you some advice on the road to accumulation."

The professor was not anxious. "Do you have any further ideas now?"

"Well, I'm thinking of something more interesting, but it's a bit too shocking, so I plan to take it step by step."

Andrew had no intention of keeping his plan secret from Professor McGonagall. "I'm thinking of taking action on food. The ultimate goal is Gamp's Basic Transfiguration Law, but for now I'm only planning on grass and wood." "Gamp's Basic Transfiguration Law?"

The professor glanced at Andrew and said, "Are you sure, Taylor? This has been denied by countless excellent Transfiguration masters. Food cannot be transformed out of thin air."

If it were a lower grade student, Professor McGonagall would even be planning to deduct points - the guy who said this should be kicked out of the Transfiguration class, but she planned to listen carefully to what Taylor said.

"Not entirely, professor." Andrew had roughly sorted out his thoughts during this period of time and was now very clear about what he was going to do. "Actually, it is to turn air into starch, and then use food magic to create the most basic survival material, bread. I plan to call the entire spell bread magic."

Of course, they are not actually the same - starch is only the main component of flour, and there are many other things, but the bread magic sounds more frightening when it is shouted out. Besides, he plans to use this to impact the worldview of the wizarding world, so of course he will do it in any way that is convenient to shout out.

"Air?"

"Yes, professor. The air contains a certain amount of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide and water can be reversed under certain conditions to form starch."

This thing has been proven to be effective, although it consumes a lot of energy and the first step of the reaction seems to start from methanol. Andrew doesn't understand many things in it, but his scientific literacy is insufficient, so he can make up for it with transfiguration.

"So you mean using magic to force the reverse reaction of deformation?"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment - she was from a mixed-race family, had received basic education, and had also read some popular science later, so she understood it fairly well.

"That's right, Professor, but that step is too difficult. I'm going to start with the simplest one, which I'm going to call, grass bread."

It was too difficult to do it directly from the air, so Andrew decided to pick a simple one to try, and at the same time write about the existence of reaction enzymes and catalysts in his paper.

Compared to other high-end things, food is always the most important issue for all living things. He plans to start with the simplest things and make a big splash.

The decomposition of cellulose into glucose is a very mature technology. Even if we put aside the existence of laboratories and factories, the digestive system of herbivores is an extremely good reference.

Now that Transfiguration has entered the mainstream - it's time to give the wizarding world a hard blow.

After Andrew gave a brief introduction of what he was going to do, Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Excellent topic, excellent start. Taylor, write the project content and approval report yourself. I will approve it, and your laboratory can be put to use."

"Yes, Professor."

Andrew had no doubt that the professor would support him—but he nodded solemnly all the same.

Turn grass into sugar, and then make the entire wizarding world interested in the existence of enzymes and catalysts, thereby promoting the entire wizarding world to invest more in technological progress, or at least increase the translation of technology.

If someone had figured out the bread-making technique before him, that would be even better. He wouldn't mind at all and even planned to post his ideas for the future after the first batch of products were made.

'It would be better if you could create the Internet in a short time! ' he thought.

"Well, go back and prepare. I look forward to the changes you will bring - a challenge to Gamp's basic law of transformation. What a great idea."

Professor McGonagall nodded towards Andrew.
