Chapter 146 Bug: What are you looking at?
"Lab coat..."
Andrew looked at the pure black thing in front of him, inlaid with a large number of dragon scales, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He cleaned it briefly and put on this safe-looking thing - it is worth mentioning that this thing weighed at least twenty pounds.
He could even see the densely packed unknown metal wires inside this thing and the various runes engraved on it.
It can only be said that although it is called a laboratory coat in name, it is actually considered a small piece of armor.
It doesn't fit well, but it gives me a sense of security.
After putting the imitation head-bubble charm on himself, Andrew carefully placed the first egg on the completely empty table.
"First try... the limit of rawness."
He picked up the wand and began to try to transform, trying to activate the living power without guiding it.
‘Is it growing rapidly? ’
He felt the autonomous change of that force.
In less than half a minute, the eggshell broke open, and a half-formed chick pecked it open, and then its head hung down weakly - Andrew could clearly feel that its life was speeding through the transformation technique that was still maintained. disappear.
‘It just promotes its own development, but the development is incomplete due to the interference of magic power? ’
He waved his wand, cleared the countertop, and pulled the next egg out of the frame in the ground.
"Repeat the test..."
…
[Without guidance, casting spells on living objects will interfere with their own growth process, whether it is toad eggs or eggs, but more needs to be experimented...]
After writing these words in his notebook, he started to try the next aspect.
…
[When deliberately guided to change form, it will cause the deformation product to turn into a huge sticky ball, with a number of soft tentacles attached, unable to move, but with different degrees of response to external stimuli - in short, waste. 】
[When deliberately directed towards life, it will cause the deformation product to collapse, but the resulting product is very active and will not die and cause the deformation to dissipate for a long period of time. 】
[When deliberately directing magic power, it will lead to... an indescribable scene. It explodes... but there is no harm, but it is like a ball of fireworks...]
Andrew hesitantly wrote the last few words and began to clean the laboratory.
With the help of a cleanup, he quickly completed the job, then hesitated and began to repeat the experiment.
Fireworks, fireworks, fireworks…
"It shouldn't be..."
Andrew was cleaning with his wand and thinking, the first two could still touch the edges a little, how could this count?
The life force is converted into magic power, which then causes the magic power to explode?
What is this limitation?
He tried to change the ratio, no longer the extreme one, and began to modify it using the Florob caterpillar as a sample.
He created more failed transfiguration works one after another than before, but miraculously, no explosions occurred this time.
'No clue...'
He shook his head - he hadn't done any research on this.
'Restore the original goal...'
Andrew took out the first notebook from his bag, and then recorded today's doubts in detail on the blank page in the middle. Then he put all attempts behind him and began to seriously complete today's goal.
…
'There's more magic this time...'
'Recover, continue...'
He took a breath, relaxed, and waved his wand again. 'Well, a little bit, just a little bit...'
The flow of magic power made a surprise surge in his heart.
‘Success! ’
Andrew looked at the little thing crawling around on the table. He hesitated for a moment, but instead of poking it directly with his hand wrapped in dragon leather gloves, he used the transformation technique to turn an egg into a wooden stick, and then poked it hard. Poke.
The force that was enough to kill most bugs only made this guy stun, and even tried to attack the wooden stick - but unfortunately, its magical biological manifestation was not used in the attack.
"All petrified!"
Andrew raised his wand and shouted the spell directly.
But even with the enhanced petrification spell, it still only petrified half of the bug.
'What's this, my spell isn't strong enough? Or have I created bugs that I can’t kill? ’
‘The magic resistance is higher than that of normal bugs… is it due to the blessing of transformation? ’
He didn't know - the relevant references to shape-shifting magical creatures were all in the restricted book section, and the shape-shifting Flobber Caterpillar was a fifth-grade class, and not many people knew how to study this thing's magic resistance.
‘Here, how do you detect the duration of the transformation spell? ’
He looked at the insect. The insect shook its petrified body and looked at him, their eyes facing each other.
He had never read any information in this area, and the professor didn't provide it. The professor pushed him to the limit and asked him to practice the fineness of his deformation.
After discovering that there was no idea of any experiments with it, Andrew could only give up and set out to verify the sustainability of the previous magic.
Although the precision is still lacking, he has now been able to succeed twice out of five. After spending more than thirty eggs and feeling a little dizzy on his forehead, Andrew came to a conclusion and put these bugs in a bucket in disgust. alright.
'It's time to report the results. ’
Enduring a slight headache, I cleaned the table, took off my heavy protective clothing, covered the bucket, and then left the laboratory to undo the head-soaking spell.
After doing this, Andrew took the bucket and walked directly towards Professor McGonagall's office.
——
"The experiment is over?"
The professor is checking the list one last time—these freshmen will be on the bus tomorrow morning.
"It's over. There is no progress in the experiment. There are only doubts. However, the transformation technique was successful."
Andrew briefly described his results and opened the bucket.
"Success?"
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, "It worked, very good."
She waved her wand, and the bugs that were difficult for Andrew to control floated into the air.
"Excellent resistance and full of vitality. What's the success rate?"
"I can't demonstrate it now, Professor. During my experiment, I succeeded about two times out of five times."
"That's enough. You're not proficient yet. Go back and have a good rest today. Don't overwork yourself. You will be able to completely master this skill in about a week."
The professor thought for a moment and said, "You won't be on duty the day after tomorrow. I'll come to my office after class."
"The new semester...I'll say hello to Professor Sprout. You can go to the greenhouse to help in the morning and become familiar with herbal medicine. Also...forget it, it's useless for you to take the Magical Creatures class now. Besides, Silvanos's class, three The grades are scary enough..."
"In the next time, you should not try to transform magical creatures. You should become familiar with Muggle plants and creatures, as well as various herbal medicines. The goal is to be able to recreate them using transfiguration within this school year."
"Besides..." Professor McGonagall hesitated, "You don't have to submit your Transfiguration homework next semester, just come over and review it."
"Okay, that's all for now. Go back and rest. Your condition is too bad today. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
