It seems your trick shop isn’t too terrible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra was meticulous, yet she always encouraged wizards to push the boundaries of alchemical mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wizard who cannot sense the call of this vast mystery is not a qualified alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, though the items in the shop were not profound, their ingenious concepts were enough to catch the professor’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was slightly surprised—he had assumed the professor wouldn’t care about such trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the trick shop itself was… an unexpected marvel; Wizard Sean hadn’t expected his casual alchemical assignment to sell so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor, I succeeded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean gathered his thoughts and placed a biscuit emitting a “gurgle-gurgle” sound on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noting the professor’s focused gaze, he began his explanation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used a magical ritual I invented to transfer the magical abilities of magical creatures into a wizard’s body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke those words, Professor Terra stood up abruptly, and the senior wizards outside the door were left utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by an invented ritual? And what is this transfer of magical abilities from magical creatures into a wizard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this fellow talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravenclaw wizard stared, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we’re studying the same alchemy… I still don’t understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gryffindor beside him muttered blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last wizard spoke up, and both turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t English!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wizard Sean’s explanation in the classroom continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still many flaws: the shifter cannot remain conscious, the duration lasts only one minute, and the preparation time is too long… Most importantly, if the user does not deeply desire the transformation and firmly believes they are a catling, the transformation will likely fail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean paused slightly, then added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I’ve created this biscuit, its reproducibility remains questionable. Even its creator cannot explain the full effect of every step—I’m certain only that the wizard’s will plays a decisive role…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mysterious nature of magic always compensates for this. Perhaps wizards don’t need to fully understand everything—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simple terms, once a wizard gains some mastery over the ritual, they need only believe. The rest is left to magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Just like potions, Wizard Sean felt the successful brewer was relying on sheer force of will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, magic itself is the wizard’s miracle of reshaping the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the alchemy classroom, Wizard Sean finished explaining his entire process, omitting only his construction of the alchemical will system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent. The senior wizards eavesdropping outside no longer understood what came after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean to create something that can’t necessarily be replicated? What does it mean to use something you can’t explain? And what is this “belief,” this magic…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea what this wizard was talking about…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s dinner in the Great Hall is Wellington steak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravenclaw wizard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I think we should talk about that. I think beef stewed with mushrooms is delicious too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gryffindor and the two Ravenclaws walked off, arms slung over each other’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra stared deeply at the doorway, then took a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… of course you… spent over a month? Of course, I’m not incapable of timing… an invented ritual… achieving the leap of magic from wizard to magical creature…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra muttered many strange things, and with each word, her eyes grew brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew an alchemist would meet a gifted young wizard in their lifetime. But the one she had met—wasn’t just gifted…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean Green, my student, you will surpass Nicolas Flamel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra’s gaze burned with absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean was startled; he shook his head, daring not to speak such bold words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humility is certainly a virtue, but excessive humility…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra shook her head with a smile, then her expression turned peculiar,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My student, do you truly believe that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Merlin— I’ve seen too many ignorant wizards unaware of their ignorance, and too many arrogant fools with no talent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra had never felt as good as she did now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out a card, elegant yet restrained, and placed it in Wizard Sean’s hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Uralda International Alchemy Congress. I thought only I and Headmaster Dumbledore would attend—but now there’s one more wizard, correct?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before then, you must expand the boundaries of your magical creature transformation biscuit as much as possible. If a catling biscuit exists, then other magical creatures must be possible too… If you need materials or have questions, use ‘it’ to find me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wizard Sean could even put away the invitation, a small stack of white paper appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the creation that won me the Gold Medal for Groundbreaking Contribution at the last International Alchemy Congress. You’ll understand its use soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and remember to name this alchemical achievement of milestone significance, my student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learn to claim your own honor—it’s just as important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Terra kept Wizard Sean’s notes and the catling biscuit, gently ushered him out of the classroom, and appeared ready to study the biscuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean waved his hand, and the Firebolt flew in through the window; he mounted it and vanished into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he have time to examine the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To: Alchemy Achiever: Wizard Sean Green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will we take another step forward on the Path of Truth—or stumble into the mud of mediocrity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uralda International Alchemy Congress awaits the arrival of an era.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No extra description—only a faint sense of guidance, almost like the grandiose rhetoric of some Hogwarts club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when his name suddenly appeared on the letter, Wizard Sean realized alchemists had always wielded profound magical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Hut of Hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small hearth had scurried to Wizard Sean’s feet; he was pondering which magical creatures he might choose next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of transforming into different magical creatures lay only in how well he understood them, so he should choose ones found within Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quick-Quotes Quill hovered above his notes, recording his thoughts:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Three-headed dog, dragon, basilisk… hmm, in second year, the basilisk wouldn’t be my match…】\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","aa200e82d76499a483f2836a04b88590ea01c0be057637e90f2d605ca1e8f940","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-190","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-188",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
