The rats of the wizarding world are not fundamentally different from the mammals, rodents, and rats that Zheng Qing has seen since he was a child - they are all gray hair, long tails, can burrow, climb trees, swim, have vigorous vitality, excellent reproduction speed, and like to live in sewers, gutters, graves and other places - at best, the rats of the wizarding world are slightly larger, have a slightly higher IQ, and have a stronger ability to survive.

This is the proper meaning of the rats to survive in the wizarding world. After all, this is the world where wizards live, and the other creatures that roam the edge of the world must be more adaptable than their distant relatives, otherwise they will be hunted out by other predators.

After hearing the task assigned by Lao Yao, the classroom was full of mourning.

Especially those delicate witches, they did not hide the disgust on their faces - Zheng Qing had every reason to believe that this task assigned by the school to the students would definitely set off a wave of buying and selling rats and other creatures in the underground black market among the students.

Wealthy young wizards have always traded silver horn beans for precious time to accomplish more important things in their hearts. For example, a magic experiment, such as a hunting competition, another example of pursuing a witch, and so on.

Wizards who have no money can only exchange their time for limited money to support their simple and boring study career.

For some reason, when he thought of these transactions, the image of a stout fat wizard immediately came to the mind of the young public-funded student - Zheng Qing remembered that Seprano and his Cheung Kei Society seemed to have been engaged in similar 'gray law' activities at school - although this was so, it did not mean that Zheng Qing would go to Seprano to buy rats for the exchange.

Because of his transformation into a cat, he has a bit of a psychological resistance to catching mice, as if these mice are an important boundary between his human identity and that of a cat. If he really took pleasure in catching mice, wouldn't it mean that he was still affected by the spirit of the cat—especially since he had been in a recent transfiguration, and he was extremely sensitive to these details.

The more I hate, the more I come.

The young public scholarship student sighed secretly in his heart, and his face became extremely bad.

For the past two weeks, he has been trying his best to avoid this work, and even though the school committee has offered him a certain material reward, he has not been impressed. It's good now, Lao Yao directly linked this matter with the final evaluation.

Even if he didn't look up, Zheng Qing could clearly feel the violently shrugged shoulders of Xin Fat Man and Zhang Jixin sitting in the front row, as well as the silent ridicule.

Professor Yao on the podium didn't seem to notice the resistant eyes of everyone in the hall, and concluded:

"So, we professors didn't follow the legions of the Wizarding Alliance to attack a new world, nor did we quell the rebellion of demons in the Black Prison, nor did we assist the 'relevant departments' to experiment with new forbidden spells...... If you have the time to spread these rumors, it is better to seize the time to catch two more mice. ”

There were a few sparse laughter in the hall.

Zheng Qing knew that Lao Yao deliberately chose to explain the task of catching mice before class, and a large part of the reason was to explain to the young wizards in the hall where he and the other professors were going - especially this semester, all kinds of accidents occurred frequently, which made many people feel a little panicked, and when the professors were not in the classroom recently, there were many similar rumors.

However, now that it has been explained clearly, Lao Yao naturally gets back to business:

"You already know your mission! Then don't forget to take the time to complete your mission...... Of course, this time naturally refers to your extracurricular time. ”

"Now, put away your Dharma books, open the Standard Mantra, turn the textbook to the second subsection of the third chapter, and start with the class I was absent from, let's quickly go through the knowledge points...... Those who didn't understand much in the previous two classes, pay attention! I'll only go through this once, and you won't have another chance. ”

......

......

With a tangled mood, Zheng Qing ended the first class of his fourteenth week of enrollment.

There is no endless road to the sky, otherwise there will always be Tailai. Although he was assigned a bad task, Lao Yao also brought some good news after all.

For example, the final test report on the abnormal condition of Zheng Qing's metamorphosis.

Since the abnormal situation of that transformation two weeks ago, in the past two weeks, although he has guarded seven or eight transformation potions, Zheng Qing has not dared to try to turn into a cat again after all. After all, magic is a rigorous skill, and the vast majority of people who use magic in a daze will eventually lose their lives in a daze.

Zheng Qing felt that he should not be so stupid.

Two weeks ago, according to Lao Yao's request, he handed over his Transfiguration notes, ampoules with the Transfiguration Potion remaining, and a sealed Transfiguration Potion to Professor Li, and then followed a paper crane to the school hospital for a new full-body test a week ago.

And then there was no follow-up.

It wasn't until today, after the spell class, that Lao Yao stopped the young public-funded student and handed him the test report.

"The good news is that there are no problems with the Transfiguration Potion you used, as well as your Transfiguration Notes, and the full test you did at the school hospital...... Your body is very healthy, and there is nothing abnormal except that the Nian Zi Force Field is still a little active. ”

"It's a pity," Zheng Qing muttered, with a somewhat regretful expression on his face: "I heard that Fitzer Company is very large...... If only it was really his potion that was wrong. ”

Lao Yao raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and slapped Zheng Qing's head: "You are a little guy who is not a registered wizard, and you still want to find Fitzer for compensation...... It's just funny. Do you really think that the lawyer team raised by their company eats for nothing?"

Zheng Qing touched the back of his head, laughed with him, and asked cautiously, "What about the bad news?"

There is good news, and there is naturally bad news.

This is always the way things have always been in this world.

Lao Yao stuffed the pipe into his mouth and replied vaguely: "The bad news is that the reason for your abnormal transfiguration technique has not been detected by existing technical means...... This also means that my previous guess is the most likely. ”

According to Professor Yao's previous speculation, Zheng Qing was still able to use magic after his transformation, because he had a shadow left in his body 'traces of the existence of forbidden spells' - in this world, only forbidden spells can ignore the existing rules and theorems of magic, and can arbitrarily subvert the Mondale paradox.

The young public student couldn't help but think of the huge forces in the wizarding world that were eager for forbidden spells, and the mood that had just been boosted for a few minutes immediately lowered again. And even lower than before the good news was known.
