Sitting next to Jia Na was still Vivian-Rose, who was not short of money.
Originally, Vivian had never signed up for Transformation Class, but when she heard Jia Na say during lunch in the cafeteria that she was going to attend Transformation Class in the afternoon, she hurriedly ran to the first floor of the Magic Tower to find Black Cat Belle and exchanged jin sule for the Transformation Class.
"I think Professor Wuta also taught very well, especially many of the examples he gave were very vivid."
"Did he give any examples? Why can't I remember at all?"
Hearing Jia Na's comment about Professor Wuta, Vivian felt as if she and Jia Na had attended classes taught by two different people.
"I advise you to pay less attention during Ancient Magic History class in the future."
"Anyway, it's all rote memorization. With your notes supporting me, I think passing should be no problem..."
Because of the advantage of the Exceptional Memory talent, Jia Na found it effortless to learn the key content in Ancient Magic History.
But for someone like Vivian, whose mental strength was only at the apprentice level, although her memory was much stronger than that of ordinary people, she could not achieve the level of photographic memory like Jia Na.
"Don't forget, Basic Herbalism and Basic Biology will also be tested in a while, and they are almost all content that needs to be memorized by rote. Moreover, these two courses cannot be tricky like Ancient Magic History by only memorizing key knowledge; almost all the content in the entire textbook must be memorized..."
"Alright, alright, then I'll trouble you to include me when you review so that I can have the opportunity to study with the genius apprentice who got first place in the written test."
Nodding her head, acknowledging Vivian's request, Jia Na refocused her attention on Professor Lilith-McGonagall.
"Gamp's Five Principles are things you must always remember. They must even be integrated into your flesh and blood, becoming an instinct for every spellcasting..."
"The essence of Deformation Art, besides changing form, the transformation of the soul is the most difficult element to overcome. If you cannot learn this step, you will never be able to step into the true threshold of Deformation Art..."
"I sincerely hope that under my enlightenment, one of you can emerge who surpasses me, and even a master of Deformation Art whom I can look up to..."
"Saying these things to you now is too far off. Before learning Complete Transformation, being able to master Local Deformation is the goal I have set for all of you this year..."
"I hope you can bring me surprises."
After Professor Lilith-McGonagall finished her formal opening remarks before the class, all the apprentices in the classroom were ignited with a burning desire to challenge Deformation Art.
After all, as one of the most famous fields in Mysticism, if one could master it, it would certainly gain the attention of White Coral Academy.
Perhaps, they could even use this to obtain a guaranteed spot for promotion at White Coral Academy during the third-level apprentice stage, having the opportunity to study at the second-level Wizard Gathering Place "Dordogne" White Tower like Scarlet Witch—Grace-Eva, and gain the opportunity to be promoted to a Formal Wizard.
"For the first class, the content I want to talk about is very simple, which is to learn to observe."
After speaking, Professor Lilith-McGonagall lifted the black cloth covering the birdcage on the podium, revealing the slightly dull Raven inside the cage.
"The Raven is a light-boned avian magical beast. Its flying ability is not outstanding among all avian magical beasts. However, this magical beast has the advantage of being numerous, almost everywhere in White Coral Academy, which is convenient for your daily observation... Of course, you cannot keep the Raven in a cage when observing, after all, this is also the Principal's private property."
As she spoke, Lilith-Meg raised her two arms. Almost instantly, covered in black feathers, without even chanting a spell, Lilith-Meg's two arms turned into two wings covered in black feathers.
"One of the concepts of Deformation Art is deception. Deceiving your own body, fooling your own soul, naturally letting yourself believe that at this moment, I am a Raven."
"Caw—"
Her body quickly shrank, and another Raven, completely identical to the one in the cage, stood gracefully on top of the birdcage, spreading its wings, and very humanly displaying its form to everyone.
"This is the most famous form of energy manifestation in Mysticism—the power of the mind."
Different from Professor Lilith-McGonagall's original gentle female voice, the hoarse voice came out from the Raven standing on the cage, opening and closing its mouth, giving Jia Na a sense of both surprise and comical deja vu.
"Caw—"
Lightly flapping her wings, Lilith-Meg, in her Raven form, smoothly transformed back into human form, standing elegantly at the podium.
"Pay attention to standard pronunciation and casting gestures, and chant with me—"
Cumbersome and awkward universal Mystic characters were chanted from Professor Lilith-McGonagall's mouth. Almost stumbling, nearly half of the apprentices in the class found it extremely difficult to even follow along and chant.
"Myriad Transformations!"
The last sentence was in the universal Wizard language, different from the universal Mystic language. At the moment the spell was completed, Lilith-Meg's right hand was already covered in black feathers.
"This spell is so difficult, it's simply ten thousand times harder than the levitation charm."
Hearing Vivian's complaint next to her, Jia Na also nodded in agreement, but her reaction made Vivian feel very speechless.
"Myriad Transformations—"
As Jia Na chanted the last sentence of the Wizard language spell, feathers actually grew on Jia Na's originally slender and fair hand back. However, the number of feathers was far less dense than Lilith-Meg's, with only a few scattered ones.
"Jia Na, you actually succeeded!"
Looking at the black feathers on Jia Na's hand back, for a moment, Vivian even felt that compared to her, she was simply an incredibly foolish idiot.
However, when she saw that the others in the class were still unable to even chant the spell completely, she felt a little comforted.
"You are truly a monster!"
Vivian's voice was not deliberately lowered, so almost all the apprentices sitting in front of and behind Jia Na heard it.
Those who originally didn't believe that any apprentice could successfully deform on the first try, upon turning their heads one after another and seeing the black feathers on Jia Na's hand back, felt almost the same as Vivian. While everyone was shocked, they all spontaneously felt an incredible illusion.
"Oh? What is this apprentice's name? Have you had contact with Deformation Art before?"
"McGonagall Professor, my name is Jia Na-Luo Lan, and today is the first time I have ever encountered Deformation Art."
"First time encountering it?"
Looking at the black feathers on Jia Na's hand back that had not disappeared, McGonagall's heart was surprised and also felt relieved.
"What a smart apprentice, your Comprehension in Mysticism is outstanding!"
