Chapter 51 Eleventh Ordinary Session
Magic is a craft that has been passed down with great strings. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
Especially when it comes to magic related to the transformation of the human body, the relevant specifications and requirements have reached a demanding level. For example, wizards who are in contact with transfiguration magic for the first time need to sign relevant silence agreements, as well as dozens of authorization letters, need to back up and retain relevant body surface cells, retain relevant blood, and also need to leave their names in the relevant filings of the Wizarding Alliance.
In addition, with the exception of some wizards with special circumstances, any wizard who practices Transfiguration is required to report his transformed form - partly to monitor whether the wizards who have mastered Transfiguration are serious about their commitments, and partly to protect them.
After all, under normal circumstances, when a wizard transforms, he will turn into an ordinary critter with no magical powers. After filing their names and forms, the safety of these transformed wizards can be greatly guaranteed in the safe area demarcated by the Wizarding Alliance.
Of course, this is only for wizards in their 'normal' state.
After the second transformation, Zheng Qing vaguely felt that he seemed to be able to 'break through' the limitations of the Wizarding Alliance to some extent - for example, he didn't need to report to the safe area before the transformation, and he didn't need to be ready to sign a large pile of documents anytime and anywhere - which meant that he only needed a small transformation potion, and he could transform anytime and anywhere.
In terms of personal and convenience, this is indeed a big breakthrough.
But from a security point of view, this 'breakthrough' is debatable. The 'safety' here does not simply refer to the safety of Zheng Qing after he becomes a black cat. After all, as a cat that can grow bigger and smaller at any time, can climb trees and run, most of the time, there are no creatures on campus that can pose a threat to him.
The 'safety' here mainly refers to the safety in the 'magic transformation process'.
As a wizard who has inherited the standard transformation technique, without being exposed to any special transformation techniques and using standard transformation potions, the black cat that Zheng Qing has turned into actually has magical powers!
This is a mockery of the wizarding world as a whole - as of now, all books on Transfiguration published within the Wizarding Federation refer to the 'Mundell Paradox'. This law can be said to be the 'epistemological guide' for all wizards to practice Transfiguration.
And now, a young wizard who has been enrolled for less than half a year and has not even obtained a registered wizard certificate has broken through this law.
This is not necessarily a good thing.
Therefore, Zheng Qing's top priority was to consult with the professors about this matter, and ask him if this abnormal state of mind would lead to some terrible consequences—at least not to be torn apart in the long river of time by the huge force of cause and effect like an old wizard who used to use soothsayers unscrupulously.
......
Because there was still a patrol mission on Saturday night, and he still needed to make up for the homework he had missed on Sunday afternoon, it was not until the regular class meeting on Sunday night that Zheng Qing found a suitable opportunity to ask Lao Yao about this problem.
Maybe it's because the moon hunt has just ended, and the first two days are the Xia Yuan Festival, and there are more trivial things, today's class meeting, Lao Yao came very early. When Zheng Qing came to the east of the teaching building half an hour earlier, Lao Yao was already sitting at the lectern in the classroom, flipping through some documents.
The students who came to the classroom early were all full of frustration - they couldn't go, they had come, and if they left, they wouldn't be slapping the professor's face behind the desk! But staying in the classroom, the atmosphere was too dull.
Originally, the period before the regular meeting on Sunday was a time for students to exchange various gossip and gossip that happened during the two days. And now, with the presence of the great god on the podium, everyone can only take out their textbooks and write their homework.
Therefore, when Zheng Qing walked up to the podium and whispered to Lao Yao to ask questions, an ear was silently pricked up under the podium.
After hearing the question that Zheng Qing wanted to consult, Lao Yao raised his arm and made a gesture first.
"You wait," he said, picking up the pipe resting on the edge of the lectern and knocking it on the table. A puff of soot burst out of the pipe and fell behind Zheng Qing.
The soot seemed to form a wide curtain, blocking not only the inquiring eyes of the classroom behind him, but also the whispers behind him—Zheng Qing had reason to believe that the barrier built by these soots would ensure that only Lao Yao could hear what he said.
Professor Yao's rhetoric soon confirmed this.
“...... Now be quiet, and you can describe the question you just asked in more detail. Lao Yao stuffed his pipe into his mouth, leaned back, and changed to a more comfortable senior.
Xu Shi noticed the uneasy expression of the young public-funded student, and the professor added gently: "...... It's just a simple barrier to chat with, and it ensures that we don't disturb other people when we communicate. I guess you don't want to be heard by anyone else if you're going to ask me a question. ”
Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.
Then he hesitated, slowly organized his words, and described to the professor what had happened to him after his transformation a few days ago.
"You mean, after you used the transformation potion, the black cat you turned into has magical powers?" Old Yao refined Zheng Qing's central meaning, sat up straight with interest, and leaned his head towards Zheng Qing.
A thick puff of smoke suddenly poured into Zheng Qing's nostrils, making him feel a very strong urge to sneeze.
"Well, yes. The young student nodded vaguely and took a small step back quietly.
"Strange. The professor briefly commented, took the pipe from his mouth, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked up and asked, "You just said that this transformation uses a standard potion...... Did you get it from Professor Lee?"
The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.
Using a transformation potion without permission is a 'flaw' that cannot be ignored by saying that it is too big to be small. Theoretically, this behavior has violated the relevant regulations of First University.
Although he knew that he might touch on this issue when consulting with the professor, Zheng Qing still held out the hope of less than one percent - what if the professor didn't notice this?
It's a pity that Lao Yao was the first thing he noticed about this incident.
"The potion was bought by Beta," Zheng Qing stubbornly explained, "I helped a friend before, and then he sent a transformation potion, which is a standard potion produced by Fitzel Magic Potions...... I also have its certificate of competency here. ”
As he spoke, the young public-funded student quickly took out the instructions and certificates carried by the box of transformation potions from the gray cloth bag, and handed them to the professor in front of him.
The professor glanced at him meaningfully and took the materials.
