Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 150 World Tree, Storm Staff Core

Mjolnir is a very, very magical weapon. Its hammer head was forged in a decaying star, and its handle was made from the wooden trunk of the world tree.

According to the introduction of the magic wand, it should be the world wood, the storm wand core, which carries the power of the stars and part of the power of Thor, the god of thunder, and will actively choose its master.

However, it was impossible for Su Ze to teach wizards with just a hammer. Moreover, Mjolnir's current state showed that he was not an ordinary object. In order to use this artifact more reasonably, Su Ze decided to change its appearance.

Under normal circumstances, a wand cannot be transformed. As a conductor of the wizard's magic power, the wand is like a pre-set program that cannot be changed, and the transformation magic will not take effect.

However, it is not that difficult to turn other objects into something similar to a magic wand. In the Marvel Universe, when Thor went to find Doctor Strange, he used magic to turn Thor's hammer into the shape of an umbrella.

That was genuine Asgard magic, and one of the very few magics that Thor mastered that was released through divine power. Suze himself didn't know how to use it, and had never learned it, so he could only hope that Hagrid could give him some advice.

Sure enough, shortly after hearing Suze's thoughts, Hagrid pondered for a while and gave an answer.

"It's not difficult for a wizard to turn a hammer into a wand. A simple Transfiguration spell can do it. But your hammer doesn't look like an ordinary magic prop."

"Indeed." Su Ze raised his hand, and Mjolnir flew out of Hagrid's hut and landed in Su Ze's palm. "This little guy has extremely strong energy. Will this affect the effect of the Transfiguration Spell?"

Looking at the strange hammer full of cracks in Suze's hand, Hagrid showed an interested look. "If the energy is strong enough, ordinary Transfiguration spells will not work. Can you show it to me?"

"Of course, if you can pick it up."

Su Ze smiled, then casually placed the hammer on the wooden stake used for chopping wood at the door, made a gesture to Hagrid to go ahead, and stood by waiting to watch the show.

Hagrid didn't take Suze's words seriously. To him, Mjolnir was obviously a little too small. In his hand, it was no different from a wrench.

Grabbing the handle of Mjolnir's hammer with his palm, Hagrid began to exert force as he spoke.

"To be honest, Su Ze, this is the first time I've seen such a weird weapon."

Just pick it up.

Didn't mention it.

Hagrid swallowed the rest of his words and stood there in a daze.

The big guy blinked at Su Ze in confusion, and he still hadn't reacted to what was happening. Su Ze couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders and motioned him to continue.

"Okay, I admit that this hammer is indeed heavier than I thought. In fact, I have discovered that your strength is different from that of ordinary people, but this is nothing to me."

Hagrid hummed, spat into his palm, rubbed his hands together and tried to lift the 'small' hammer again.

This time, Hagrid used both hands and gripped the hammer handle tightly.

"One, two. Ah!!"

With a dull growl, Suze could almost see that Hagrid's facial features were exerting force, but Mjolnir remained motionless.

"Come on, Hagrid, you're almost there."

Su Ze covered his mouth, and at this moment he finally felt the happiness that Thor had felt before.

This kind of weapon that only you in the world can lift is really powerful. Not to mention the combat power bonus, the emotional value is absolutely maximum. No wonder Thor was so sad after Mjolnir was destroyed.

The two of them were in a stalemate with each other, each holding a hammer for a long time. Finally, Hagrid loosened his hands, sat down on the ground, and waved his hands breathlessly.

"No, no, there must be a powerful spell on your hammer."

Su Ze smiled but didn't explain too much. Mjolnir was indeed cast with magic, but the magic was not to make it impossible for people to lift it, but to allow those who could lift it to obtain some of Thor's divine power.

"So, Hagrid, do you think the Transfiguration spell can disguise my hammer?" Suze picked up Mjolnir, played with it for a while, and asked.

Seeing that Su Ze lifted Mjolnir so easily, Hagrid looked at Su Ze with a strange look, but he still answered.

"Your hammer itself carries magic, and it also has a strong energy reaction. Ordinary Transfiguration spells should have no effect. I suggest you go to Professor McGonagall. She is the master of Transfiguration spells at Hogwarts and also the professor of Transfiguration. She should have a solution."

"Professor McGonagall." Suze nodded thoughtfully, and the image of the old woman leading Harry and Ron appeared in his mind.

Hagrid was right. The Transfiguration Charm was an extremely dangerous and difficult spell even for wizards, otherwise Hogwarts would not have offered a separate course in this area.

Mjolnir is a divine artifact after all, and this world itself has its own legends about the gods. It is not easy to cast spells on a divine artifact.

Perhaps, in Hogwarts today, only Professor McGonagall, the master of Transfiguration, can help me.

"Then I'll go find Professor McGonagall right now. If Rocket wakes up and I haven't come back yet, Hagrid, you tell Rocket to wait for me here." Su Ze did as he said. He greeted Hagrid, then turned around and walked quickly towards Hogwarts Castle.

Since I had promised Dumbledore to stay here as a professor, I naturally had to make a lot of preparations. In addition to the wand, I also had to familiarize myself with the locations of the classrooms and the professor's office.

Besides, since he was a professor, Dumbledore should provide a special accommodation for himself and Rocket. This was good news. At least he would not have to live in the same room with Hagrid anymore.

Su Ze was lucky. Professor McGonagall did not have a class this morning. After asking several senior students for the specific route, Su Ze finally arrived at the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, and soon there was a response from the room.

"Enter."

After opening the door, Professor McGonagall appeared in Su Ze's sight.

The other person was wearing a dark green robe and square glasses. Since she was in her office, Professor McGonagall did not wear a wizard hat, but instead casually tied her hair up.

When Professor McGonagall saw that the person who walked in was Suze, she was a little surprised because she thought Suze had left Hogwarts.

"Sorry to bother you, Professor McGonagall. I have just accepted the invitation from Headmaster Dumbledore to be the professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts for the next period of time. We will be colleagues in the future, so I wanted to come and say hello."

"Congratulations, Professor of Muggle Studies, Sue."

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, but she still took the initiative to smile and congratulate Su Ze.

"I heard that Bubbage had asked for leave. I was wondering whether I should choose a substitute teacher from the prefects of each college. It seems that Dumbledore has made preparations in advance. I believe that you will soon become a professor popular with students."

"I don't dare to think that I'm the most popular. To be honest, this is my first time to serve as a professor, and I have never taught students before. I suddenly encountered this kind of thing, and I was a little flustered for a while." Su Ze smiled helplessly.

"I understand your concerns. This is a very normal thing. Professor Flitwick and I have gone through the same thing before. In fact, students are very well-behaved. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself." Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

Then she thought of something and continued, "If you are really unsure, you can go to Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. He is also a new professor this year and is full of confidence and energy. Maybe he can give you some help."

"Lockhart, forget about him."

Su Ze curled the corner of his mouth. Before he was fully prepared, Su Ze did not want to rashly contact a master of the Forgetfulness Spell, even if the other party had no reason to attack him.

"Right, speaking of this."

Su Ze took out his hammer from behind and placed it on Professor McGonagall's desk.

"Professor McGonagall, I came here hoping you could help me. Hagrid said you have a way to transform my hammer into a wand."

"Turn the hammer into a magic wand?" Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses and looked at Su Ze strangely.

Although she already knew that the other party was a foreign wizard, it was the first time that Professor McGonagall had seen a wizard using a hammer as a weapon after traveling around the world for so many years.

Carefully examining Mjolnir on the table and feeling the energy reaction faintly emanating from the hammer, even Professor McGonagall couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.

"This is the first time I have seen a magical artifact with such powerful magic. It looks even older than the Sword of Gryffindor."

Su Ze did not disturb Professor McGonagall's observation. He waited quietly for Professor McGonagall to finish her inspection before asking softly.

"How about it, is there a way to do it?"

Professor McGonagall straightened up and adjusted her square glasses.

"A simple Transfiguration spell cannot affect a magical artifact of this level. However, if it is just to change its appearance, I can still do it, but I am afraid it will not last for too long."

"How long can a spell last?" Su Ze asked.

"Half a month, or more than a week. I'm not sure because I have never cast a spell on this type of object before." Professor McGonagall answered honestly.

Su Ze frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's enough. I'm usually in school anyway. I hope Professor McGonagall would be willing to help me."

"Of course, if you need it."

Professor McGonagall did not refuse, but smiled, took out her wand, and continued.

"Also, you can learn to perform the Transfiguration spell yourself. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always come and talk to me."
