The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Along the way, some students chatted and laughed, some sighed as they looked at the rain, and some shivered with their arms wrapped around themselves because they hadn't changed into warm clothes in time.

　Of course, some people were running in the opposite direction... they were going back to their dorms to change clothes. Dak followed the crowd to the "Transformation Class" classroom and found an empty seat in the back row.

　Since the start of the third grade, he has taken several "Transfiguration" classes and learned a lot about "Transfiguration Charms".

　However, because he already possessed the "Transformation Charm" magic card very early on, his gains so far have all been in the realm of "knowledge accumulation," and he hasn't yet put that gradually accumulated knowledge into practical use.

　But in today's class, Professor Parva Jones will formally teach students who have taken the "Transfiguration" course how to master the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm"!

　The "Greater Transfiguration Charm" differs from the ordinary "Transfiguration Charm" in that it can transform a mage into a magical creature with spellcasting abilities.

　Magical creatures are generally stronger than non-magical creatures.

　Of course, there are also special non-magical creatures like the Demon Bear. But those are just exceptions.

　Besides that, the most crucial aspect of "Higher Transfiguration Charms" for mages is that they preserve the ability to cast spells.

　This means that a mage can still use magic cards after transforming. Unlike a regular "Transformation Charm," which renders the mage unable to use magic cards upon transformation, this spell does not significantly weaken the mage.

　Therefore, a mage with the talent for transformation will definitely learn to create "higher transformation spells".

　Unless their talents are insufficient to support them in performing "advanced transformations." "Ring ring..."

　As the school bell rang, Professor Pavajohns finally walked into the classroom amidst the expectant gazes of his students.

　This is certainly not the first time that advanced transfiguration spells have been explained in the "Transfiguration Class".

　In fact, the concept of creating the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm" had been discussed in previous classes... and even during summer camp.

　However, the "Higher Transfiguration Charm" is extremely complex and is not a universal spell. Without the personal guidance of a professor during the process of learning it, most students would find it very difficult to master.

　For students, the materials needed to craft a "Higher Transfiguration Charm" are quite precious; one or two portions are fine. But if they fail a few more times, they certainly can't afford it.

　Therefore, the best choice is to purchase the materials in advance, wait for the "Transformation Class" to start, and then bring them to the experimental classroom to try to create them.

　In any case, with Professor Pavajohn around, the success rate of alchemy can always be increased to some extent.

　Dak also took out the materials he had prepared in advance one by one and placed them on the lab table.

　Experimental classes like this become increasingly rare after students enter the third grade.

　The professors have completely different requirements for third-year students compared to second-year students. The main focus is on mobilizing the initiative of third-year students and guiding them to learn and try on their own, rather than the hands-on teaching of the past.

　Students who can adapt can complete the transition in the third grade. Students who cannot adapt will probably need to "accumulate" more time. At the beginning of the "Transformation Class", Professor Jones quickly listed the key points on the blackboard and then began to guide the students on how to achieve it.

　The forging of a "Higher Transfiguration Charm" is not something that can be done overnight. Before today, students must use special methods to determine their compatibility with magical creatures, identify the general type and attributes of the magical creatures they can transform into, and other key factors, before they can select and purchase materials.

　In this respect, "Higher Transformation Charm" and "Transformation Charm" actually have something in common.

　Creatures created by mages using ordinary "Transfiguration Charms" are generally similar in broad categories to magical creatures created using "Higher Transfiguration Charms".

　For example, Emma transforms into an otter using the "Transfiguration Charm," and the magical creature she ultimately transforms into using the "Greater Transfiguration Charm" is also basically an otter.

　Those who use the "Transformation Charm" to transform into cats, like Dark and Sara, will also essentially transform into cats if they use the "Higher Transformation Charm".

　However, they are cats among magical creatures. In other words, magical cats.

　Therefore, mastering the basic "Transfiguration Charm" in advance is extremely helpful in mastering the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm".

　The core material that Dak prepared this time was mostly related to...

　Cat-related. He's wondered what kind of cat he could transform into.

　Cats are magical creatures, and there are many different kinds.

　Among the more well-known ones are "Nekomata", "Nine-tailed Cat", "Best", "Maneki-neko", and many others.

　Furthermore, the magical creatures transformed by the "Greater Transfiguration Charm" are not necessarily cats with special abilities; they may simply be cats that know a little magic.

　Goodnight.

Chapter 1284 Advanced Transfiguration Spell (4k)

　In short, there are differences between magical creatures.

　Some mages can use the "Greater Transfiguration Charm" to transform into dragons. However, some mages can only transform into dust sprites when using the "Greater Transfiguration Charm".

　The former is a powerful creature at the top of the food chain, while the latter is a weak existence that is not even as good as an ordinary animal.

　Given the rarity of those with the talent for shapeshifting, even fewer are the archmages who are lucky enough to transform into high-level magical creatures.

　But before mastering the "Greater Transfiguration Charm," no one knows what kind of magical creature they can transform into.

　If he could transform into a high-level magical creature, his path as a mage would surely soar.

　Even if it's just for that tiny chance, it's worth it.

　The students in this "transformation class" were all very attentive.

　This year, only six students in the third year have chosen to take the "Transfiguration" course. These six are Dark himself, Emma, ​​Sara, Eudora, Pistan, and another student.

　Because of the "habitual grouping" of students from different grades, the six third-grade students also sat in the same area.

　Dak was sitting in the last row, so he could see the desks of his classmates with just a slight tilt of his head.

　Naturally, he could also see all the materials they had prepared. Among those materials were quite rare and precious items. It was clear that they attached great importance to the "Higher Transfiguration Charm." After these thoughts passed through his mind for a moment, Dark brought his attention back. The blackboard was already covered with notes, and the answers to most transmutation questions could be found on it.

　Even if they were truly confused, they could raise their hands to ask Professor Jones for help. After digesting the information briefly, Dark began the transmutation experiment following the steps written on the blackboard.

　Most of the materials he brought to the classroom had already been processed in advance. However, some materials still needed to be processed during the experiment.

　These materials are generally of a type that are relatively easy to "spoil". They can only be processed at the beginning of the experiment, otherwise they will easily "spoil" over time.

　Once Dak had planned out the steps, he calmed his mind and his operating speed suddenly increased, making the entire operation as smooth as flowing water.

　Among all the third-grade students, he has the most practical experience, and his operating skills are hard to match.

　With their profound knowledge and the blessing of the "God of Wisdom," they were able to solve most of the problems they encountered during the experiments on their own.

　However, the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm" is indeed extremely difficult to master. Even senior students cannot complete it independently.

　Despite his best efforts, Darke inevitably encountered problems that he could not solve.

　He readily accepted good advice and raised his hand to ask questions.

　Due to limited class time, Professor Jones would skip the process and give the answer directly when faced with questions from students, and this was no exception for Dak.

　The experiment is primarily hands-on, and after the experiment, students need to reverse cause and effect and deduce the process from the result, but that's something to do after class.

　The "Transfiguration Lesson" started at 8:00 AM sharp, with the actual experiment beginning around 8:15 AM. About an hour later, Dark finally completed the crafting of the first "Advanced Transfiguration Charm".

　Although he still had some questions about several steps in the process, he followed Professor Jones's instructions for the time being and managed to complete the production, albeit with some difficulty.

　The final "Higher Transformation Charm" is still shrouded in mist on the card face. The mist will only dissipate and reveal the image of the magical creature transformed by the mage after it has been activated and used once.

　However, due to basic confidentiality requirements or other reasons, students generally do not use (Advanced Transfiguration Spells) in class.

　Dark looked at the "Higher Transformation Charm" and forcibly suppressed the urge to use it immediately.

　With about ten minutes left before get out of class ended, he began to clean up the experimental residue and summarize the experience gained from the experiment.

　He was still unsure of the quality of the "Higher Transfiguration Charm" he had crafted. However, he was extremely confident in the high cost of the materials he had used.

　"It can't be bad."

　While comforting himself, Dark suddenly looked up and saw an upperclassman using the (Advanced Transfiguration Charm) right in front of the class.

　The upperclassman was clearly very excited, and didn't care about secrecy or shame at all.

　"Happy!"

　But when the light faded, the upperclassman sitting in his seat had transformed into a harpy!

　Harpies, also known as "Harpies," have the head and body of a woman, long hair, wings for arms, and claws for feet. They are not uncommon in this world.

　However, harpies are actually a very good choice among magical creatures.

　After all, the harpy not only has the ability to fly, but also possesses the rare characteristic of being "unafraid of fire," has a very high affinity for wind, and flies at a very fast speed.

　Even if not used for offense, it can transform when escaping.

　That upperclassman clearly hit the jackpot! It's hard not to feel envious.

　Emmm...

　If that senior student wasn't male.

　"Is this good luck or bad luck?" Dark couldn't help but feel a little worried.

　The uncertainty surrounding "Advanced Transformation Charms" is far too high.

　Magical creatures like harpies, while not inferior, are only...

　Single gender.

　Even if a harpy is transformed by a male using the "Higher Transformation Charm", it can only be female.

　This is just so unlucky.

　Of course, some people won't care about this small problem. Others will actually enjoy it.

　But Dark is not that kind of person.

　He felt a pang of sympathy for the senior student and carefully put away his "Advanced Transfiguration Charm".

　Even if he were to be infected, he would never perform this transformation in front of others.

　The atmosphere in the classroom subtly became more cheerful.

　The bell rang soon after class.

　Professor Parva Jones gave a brief summary and then dismissed the get out of class. The students who had successfully mastered the "Advanced Transformation Charm" quickly left, clearly eager to find a quiet place to try out Transformation.

　Those who failed to complete the training either stayed to continue or packed up and left. Whether they chose to give up is unknown.

　Dak glanced at his classmates.

　As it turned out, only Emma had successfully mastered the "Higher Transfiguration Charm" a minute or two earlier.

　Sara and Eudora, meanwhile, continued their experiments with extreme caution. Their experiments hadn't failed; they were simply not yet over.

　Pistan and another classmate both failed and had to try again later.

　Instead of waiting in the classroom for Sarah and Eudora's results, Dak left the classroom and went straight to his professor's office.

　He has another "magic class" this morning, so he doesn't have time to go to his dormitory. Fortunately, he has his own office in this castle.

　Lock the door from the inside and take out the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm".

　Dark took a deep breath and solemnly began the summoning. "In the name of Darkdemon, Magical Summoning—[Higher Transformation Charm]"

　As the magic card was activated by the summoning spell, Dark felt a tremendous suction force coming from the card.

　He was unsurprised and readily infused it with magic.

　With the infusion of a large amount of magic, the effects of the "Higher Transfiguration Charm" finally came into play.

　Dark felt a force acting on him almost immediately.

　He did not resist, but chose to accept it, and soon felt a huge change from the inside out, just like when he used the "Transfiguration Charm".

　The feeling was somewhat similar to transforming into a Ragdoll cat using the "Transformation Charm." But it was even more akin to the Armed Evolution into "Luna"!

　"Is this what it feels like to transform into a magical creature?" Dark thought to himself, suddenly feeling a sense of enlightenment.

　Through analogy, he suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the process of creating the "Moon Goddess".

　Using the "Soul of the Moon" to evolve into a magical spirit is, in essence, very similar to the "Higher Transformation Charm".

　This is what makes that "armed card" special; it's what sets it apart from others.

　My mind raced.

　The body gradually adapts to the changes. The field of vision descends rapidly.

　Dark knew he had transformed into a "cat" again! Only this time, the cat he transformed into walked on "two legs"! At least he could be certain that it was a magical creature!

　As for what abilities this magical cat possesses, it can be found out by using the "Advanced Transfiguration Charm".

　Dark raised his hand, only to see a black cat paw wearing a glove!

　"A black-furred cat?"

　Thinking this, Dark used his cat paw to grab the "Higher Transformation Charm" and first examined the card.

　At that moment, he froze on the spot.
