There's no way around it, Dumbledore's influence is just that great, which is why Fudge always wants to make trouble for him.

If you look at it from a child's perspective, Fudge is indeed not a good person, but if you look at it from an adult's perspective, Dumbledore's existence is like the sword of Damocles hanging over Fudge's head.

As long as Dumbledore is alive, he will never be able to sit firmly in his position as Minister of Magic.

While he was thinking, the class was over quickly.

Fortunately, when the get out of class was about to end, Professor Quirrell finally gave everyone a spell -

All petrified.

He remembered this spell clearly. In the original book, when Harry Potter and his companions were about to go out for a night stroll, the fat little Neville came out to stop them, but was knocked down by Hermione with this spell.

But this spell had no appeal to him.

Having mastered all the knowledge left by Voldemort, he could petrify everyone, and even release the Avatar.

Or you can bring a copy of "Three-Year Simulation and Five-Year College Entrance Examination" to class next time.

As he walked out of the classroom, Higashino Yuu thought.

However, unlike the slapdash Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class is much more serious.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. If anyone acts naughty in my class, I will ask him to leave and never let him in again. I am warning you!"

On the first day of school, Professor McGonagall gave all the students a warning.

Fortunately, both Little Eagle and Little Badger were not from particularly noisy academies, so the way everyone sat upright in the face of danger remained largely unchanged, though the expressions on their faces became a little more serious.

However, what Professor McGonagall said was not sensational. The more he studied Transfiguration, the more he found the subject to be complex.

The danger is secondary. The key is complexity and extreme idealism, driven purely by imagination and magic, so this creates a magical problem.

That is, it is obvious that the potential of this course is extremely terrifying, but no one can truly tap its potential.

The reason is simple. Before the age of eleven, little wizards from wizard families have nothing to do but play carefree, except for learning common words and simple arithmetic. As for wizards from Muggle families, studying may be a little tiring, but their learning of science is just so-so and they will not be exposed to too much knowledge.

This also applies to Professor McGonagall and her colleagues. They may have done a lot of research on macroscopic objects, but when it comes to microscopic things, it can be said that the entire wizarding world is regressing or even standing still.

You can imagine that if you give the art of transfiguration to a scientist, he might just create mushrooms.

This is not a metaphor, but a figurative description.

If a scientist were allowed to study Transfiguration, then rubbing a nuclear bomb with one's hands would not be a dream.

If Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes are compared to mathematics and physics in Muggle society, where all you need are spells, then Transfiguration is equivalent to philosophy, and an extreme idealistic philosophy at that. It is easy to get started but very difficult to master.

Just like Higashino Yuu's idea of ​​turning water into oil on the train, he didn't realize until he checked Voldemort's memory in his mind that turning water into oil permanently was not something that could be done with ordinary Transfiguration, but involved permanent transformation.

92. Transfiguration and the Ravenclaw Diadem

Because ordinary Transfiguration spells cannot withstand the effects of destruction.

For example, if you turn a match into a needle, you can use this needle to sew clothes or stab people, but if you destroy the needle, such as breaking it, it will return to its match state.

This is also the reason why food transformed by the Transfiguration Spell cannot be eaten. As long as the food is put into the mouth and bitten, the magic that maintains its transformation will be forced to be lifted, and in the end, only a mouthful of wood stumps will be left.

The same is true for water turning into oil, it can be transformed, but it cannot burn because once ignited, its shape will be destroyed.

In a nutshell, items transformed by primary transfiguration can be used, but cannot be used destructively.

For example, it is no problem to turn a mouse into a goblet to hold water, but it is impossible to turn the goblet into a bomb and throw it out to detonate it.

So if he wants to achieve the transformation technique that is just like what Higashino Yuu imagined, where he only needs to wave the magic wand lightly and what flows out of the faucet is no longer water but orange bullets, he still has a long way to go.

However, although it is a bit difficult, Higashino Yuu likes this kind of challenge very much, otherwise it would be too boring to spend the whole seven years in Hogwarts relying on Voldemort's money.

Having a goal gives you motivation. When the time comes, I can use the knowledge Voldemort gave me to fight back against Voldemort. Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited!

Finally, in the first Transfiguration class, after most of the class was spent taking notes, everyone finally took out their wands with Professor McGonagall's permission.

Recalling all the knowledge points that Professor McGonagall had just taught, Higashino You whispered a spell, and as dots of white light spurted out from the tip of the wand, a magical scene took place.

The match in front of him trembled slightly, and turned directly into a bright silver embroidery needle with a picture of a chicken pecking at rice engraved on it.

"Oh~Merlin's beard, is this really your first time casting a Transfiguration spell?"

Looking at Higashino Yu's results, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaim.

"No, I practiced it for a while before school started, because I felt that Transfiguration was the most complicated and powerful of all magics."

Higashino Yuu said slowly with a smile on his face.

"I see. I have to say that Mr. Higashino is really talented in Transfiguration. Five points for being a Ravenclaw."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, looking at the needles engraved with patterns on the table with admiration in her eyes.

"Thank you so much for your generosity."

Higashino Yu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile.

No matter when, there are only benefits and no harm in contributing to the college.

"You deserve this, Mr. Dongye."

Professor McGonagall smiled.

She had taken a fancy to this child who used thunderbird tail feathers as the wand core from the very beginning. She felt a little sorry that he did not join Gryffindor at that time, but she did not expect that he would give her a surprise today.

He has a handsome face, outstanding talents, and does things calmly.

The more she looks at Higashino Yu, the more she likes him.

Taking this opportunity, Higashino Yuya asked his own questions about the transformation spell.

"Mr. Dongye, your idea is very interesting, but it involves advanced transfiguration and permanent transfiguration, which is not something you can handle now."

"Okay, Mr. Higashino, Transfiguration is a complicated subject. You are still young and some of the knowledge is not accessible to you at your age. But if you are really interested in Transfiguration, you can come to me after class."

Seeing that Higashino Yu was about to ask more questions, Professor McGonagall interrupted him directly.

"Is it really possible?"

Higashino Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

After all, the knowledge he had about Voldemort was only from when he had just graduated, but how many years had Professor McGonagall spent studying Transfiguration?

If the current Higashino Yuu is only equivalent to a high school graduate in terms of knowledge, then Professor McGonagall is a university professor.

Even if it's just a few words of casual guidance that can benefit you for the rest of your life, it can also help you avoid taking a few months of detour.

"Of course, no teacher would reject a student who is eager to learn."

However, despite this, Higashino Yuu did not go to Professor McGonagall's office after class. Instead, he chose to experiment on his own first, and only looked for Professor McGonagall when all other methods failed.

After dinner that night, he rushed directly to the Room of Requirement. He wanted to experiment with some things.

As he walked on the road, he felt like laughing as he recalled Harry Potter's abuse of Snape during dinner just now.

Of course as a child he understood Harry Potter's grievances, but as an adult he could also understand Snape's unhappiness.

However, these things that happened in class were just trivial matters to Higashino Yuu.

Walk to the Room of Requirement, repeating to yourself three times that you need a place to practice Transfiguration.

When he pushed open the door, he immediately came to a room where various materials were placed.

"Oh~"

Looking at the large and luxurious test bench and all kinds of materials he could think of, he couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation. Then Higashino Yu took out the Ravenclaw crown from his pocket, put it on his head and started experimenting.

According to legend, the Ravenclaw Tiara is the only relic of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw College. She cast a spell on it to increase the wisdom of the wearer.

But he had already proved this last night. It was nonsense to say that it could increase the wearer's intelligence.

After all, even if we want to increase our wisdom, we must first understand one thing, which is what "wisdom" is.

In a narrow sense, wisdom is an advanced comprehensive ability possessed by living things based on nervous organs (material basis), (Li Nuohao) including: perception, knowledge, memory, understanding, association, emotion, logic, discrimination, calculation, analysis, judgment, culture, moderation, tolerance, decision-making and other abilities.

Wisdom enables people to have a deep understanding of people, things, society, the universe, the current situation, the past, and the future, and to have the ability to think, analyze, and seek the truth.

Different from intelligence, wisdom refers to the ultimate function of the intellectual organ, which is similar to "the metaphysical is called Tao". Intelligence is "the physical is called instrument".

It can be said that wisdom is an ability nurtured by a complex system composed of multiple subsystems such as the intelligence system, knowledge system, method and skill system, non-intellectual system, concept and thought system, aesthetic and evaluation system, etc.

Therefore, it is impossible to increase wisdom out of thin air.

Of course, this does not mean that the Ravenclaw Diadem is useless, in fact it is indeed a very useful alchemical item.

93. Before Potions Class

Although this crown cannot increase his wisdom, it can increase the activity of his thinking and keep his mind clear.

If before when he read some knowledge he felt as if there was a thick fog in front of his eyes, like seeing flowers in the fog, now after he put on the crown everything was as clear as the fine lines in the palm of his hand.

Not only that, even some knowledge that usually requires reading several times to remember can now be memorized with just a glance.

It can be said that this thing is a pure learning accelerator.

"If I had this thing in my previous life, I would have been so hard-working and poor in studying!"

Higashino Yu sighed in his heart and then withdrew his thoughts.

At this time, he was wearing the Ravenclaw diadem and his eyes were on the splintered wood on the table.

There was a very good saying on the Internet in the past life, "Plastic to steel, rubber to dry, three small meals a day."

Although this statement may sound a bit sarcastic, it also indirectly illustrates how developed information is in modern society. No matter what it is, you can find it as long as you want to find it.

He simply waved the walnut pieces and iron blocks on the table, and a dazzling white light suddenly spurted out from the tip of the stick.

The next second, the broken wood and iron blocks on the table suddenly turned into metal or wooden parts.

Then he shook the magic wand lightly, and all the parts automatically assembled as if dancing, and finally turned into a gun with strange patterns engraved all over it and fell on the table.

Thomson 593 competitor.

This is the most popular rifle or pistol in the United States. It is a single-shot rifle and can use a variety of bullets, including 9×19mm, .22Hornet, .22LR, etc.

This is also one of Higashino Yu's favorite pistols. The villain Golden Gunman in Stephen Chow's movie "From Beijing with Love" used this model of gun. At the same time, Kiritsugu Emiya also used this gun to fire the Origin Bullet.

He simply checked the sights, then pulled the trigger, listening to the pleasant clanging sound of the spring inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

“Absolutely perfect!”

Then, without hesitation, he took out some wood chips again and tapped them lightly. Suddenly, all the wood chips turned into bullets engraved with strange patterns.

The magic wand shook lightly, and the blue magic power flowed along the wand and was injected into the bullet.

In the blink of an eye, the ordinary wooden bullets just now were now shining with green light, like jade carvings and extremely beautiful.

He reached out and picked up one, put it into the chamber of the gun, injected magic power into it and pulled the trigger.

"call out--"

The emerald green magic circle flashed in front of the gun muzzle, and then a ball of green wind swept the green bullet and rushed towards the distant wall with a whistling sound.

"boom!"

Gravel flew everywhere, and a bowl-sized hole was immediately created in the hard marble wall.

"not bad."

After blowing gently on the muzzle of the smokeless gun, Higashino Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Although it cannot compare to the magical firearms made of exclusive metals in the Fairy Tail world, it can cause more damage than a normal pistol hitting marble.

It took him less than ten minutes to prepare such a powerful pistol from the materials to the complete creation. This made him sigh at the convenience of magic.

Moreover, unlike the usual Transfiguration spell that directly changes the essence of matter, this time he only changed the shape of the raw materials. It was more like a Shaping Spell than a Transfiguration Spell, so the gun would not change again over time.

Through the misty space, he obtained several methods of making magic tools from Higashino Yuu from the Fairy Tail world.

So in addition to this, he tried several new guns again, including submachine guns and sniper rifles.

However, although the former was good, it was a waste of bullets. Almost as soon as he pulled the trigger, the bullets that he had worked so hard to gather with his magic power were all used up. So he could only silently make up his mind in his heart that unless one day he could turn on the faucet and bullets would flow out, he would never use this.

As for the sniper rifle, it is powerful and does not consume any bullets. Unfortunately, it needs to be charged. Ordinary iron is just ordinary iron after all. If the charge is not charged properly, there is a risk of the barrel exploding.

In short, after experimenting, I found that a pistol is still the most useful.

After finishing packing up his things for the night, Higashino Yu walked out of the Room of Requirement.

Looking at the empty corridor, in order to avoid running into Filch on the way, he put on himself an invisibility spell (magic game) learned from the wizard beast Higashino Yuu.
