Chapter 347: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 147

Wood almost fought with Luo Jie for training qualifications recently.

Now the gunpowder smell of the entire Ravenclaw and Gryffindor was very thick.

Professor Marcus Maige's target didn't seem to be the Quidditch pitch, but she stopped under a few stone carvings at the edge of the Quidditch pitch.

In fact, stone carvings could be seen everywhere at Hogwarts.

There were two wild boar stone carvings at the top of the castle entrance, and there were stone carvings like the one-eyed witch inside the castle.

But the place that was both open and had many stone carvings was undoubtedly near the Quidditch pitch.

Seeing these stone carvings, Sean probably understood what the professor was going to talk about.

"For elements with precise imagery and Fantastic Beast symbolism, performing magical Transfiguration seems not difficult."

Professor Marcus Maige said gently,

"But for those elements that seem to have no magic existence, wizards seem to find it difficult to find ways to utilize them."

Sean listened carefully; he could understand this point.

Just like his Transfiguration from "object" to "magic," he could make good use of the magical elements of salamanders, fire crabs, or yetis to complete the transformation. But if he were to truly transform a fireplace, it would appear particularly difficult.

Until now, he could only make a small part of the fireplace run and jump.

"Magic seems to favor those elements, but for those parts that magic doesn't favor... it is precisely what tests a wizard's true strength in Transfiguration."

Professor Marcus Maige waved her wand, and the stone carving moved instantly.

This knight stone carving waved its sword in the snow and then bowed to Sean.

Sean curiously put his hand on its sword hilt; the hilt transmitted a cold texture and was covered by ice and snow after a while.

"The key lies in building your magic circuit; you can try it, child."

Professor Marcus Maige continued gently, then looked at Sean with some expectation.

What she didn't mention was that building the magic circuit of the wizard himself was full of challenges.

Sean waved his wand, and the giant stone statue raised its arm slightly, and then... there was no then.

Sean fell into deep thought. He thought, Fantastic Beasts indeed provided a concrete form for elements.

For example, a salamander. Wizards knew very clearly how magic power flowed in its body, and also knew very clearly how it should move. More importantly, wizards were convinced that in this form, fire could come alive.

【Clear imagery, firm belief, sufficient will】.

These key points emphasized by Transfiguration, a salamander satisfied most of them.

So how should he make the stone carving move?

Until Sean practiced Transfiguration the next day, he was thinking about this question.

—That was of course to imagine the stone carving as an existing Fantastic Beast, and what he needed to do was to build the flow of magic power for this Fantastic Beast.

The knight stone carving trembled again between the waving of the wand.

Sean failed again.

Building magic circuits out of thin air was still too difficult.

Professor Marcus Maige watched him without blinking, and even the noisy sounds on the Quidditch pitch didn't make her lose focus.

It was rare to see a little wizard troubled...

Building a magic circuit by oneself was an important process; it made wizards believe they could do it. Therefore, Professor Marcus Maige waited very patiently for Sean to practice.

For a talented wizard, this process would last at least two or three months.

In the following days, Sean practiced hard; fortunately:

【You have practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of entry, proficiency +10】

【You have practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of entry, proficiency +10】

【You have practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of a skilled hand, proficiency +30】

Inspiration was fleeting, while the panel could concretize it.

Sean constantly compared, and his progress was fast.

When practicing to the point of exhaustion, Sean would shrink into a black cat.

The exhausted one was the wizard Sean, and it had nothing to do with the black cat.

In black cat form, Sean would focus on training his mastery of his body; now he could already drill through the crack of the Transfiguration office door.

This was a gloomy and slightly tense Tuesday.

Tomorrow was the Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Training on the Quidditch pitch was already full, and outside the Quidditch pitch.

【You have practiced Advanced Transfiguration once with the standard of an expert, proficiency +1000】

The stone statue moved according to Sean's intention; although it was only a one-meter-high stone statue, it was enough to make Sean excited.

"Incredible progress! Child!"

Professor Marcus Maige stood in the snow; after the usual surprise, she couldn't help but be proud.

At this time, Sean, who sensed that his magic power was about to be depleted, had already turned into a black cat.

So a notebook automatically fell off his neck and floated up:

【Yes, Professor】

"Interesting invention..."

Professor Marcus Maige obviously didn't expect to see this scene.

The feather quill wrote on the floating notebook, and the black cat sitting in the snow nodded slightly.

When the handwriting dissipated, they floated back to the black cat's neck, turning into a small pendant.

Professor Marcus Maige looked at her wrist in hindsight; was the thing that child gave her yesterday a necklace?

【It will automatically be taken off when transforming, and will be attached to the wizard afterward】

Sean explained with a craftsman's spirit.

In the snow, a cat was introducing its own invention; no matter how one looked at it, it made Professor Marcus Maige unable to suppress the corners of her mouth.

The atmosphere at the edge of the pitch was light, but the inside of the pitch was completely different.

"Defeat Hufflepuff, then finish off Gryffindor!"

Luo Jie was waving his fist on a chair in the Ravenclaw changing room.

"For the first time in seven years, beat Ravenclaw to a pulp! We will go all out and let Professor Marcus Maige look at us with new eyes!"

Wood was shouting loudly in the Gryffindor changing room not far away. ===== CHAPTER 348 =====
