Facing Professor Flitwick's praise, Clarence could only humbly say that he still had a long way to go, and that his Transfiguration magic had only reached the introductory level.
Flitwick also lamented that while Clarence's Transfiguration magic was indeed only at an introductory level, one could not ignore his current age and his living environment before entering Hogwarts!
Clarence's appearance not only left a deep impression on the teachers and students, but also made almost all the Professors remember him as a young Wizard. Some, out of curiosity, even carefully reviewed a copy of his archived records, though only the duplicate version.
Understanding Clarence's living environment before enrollment, Flitwick sighed, observing that he was not only living in the Muggle World but was also an Orphan without parents, having grown up in an Orphanage until he was 11 years old.
This meant that before then, he had no opportunity to come into contact with magic or Wizards at all. He completely relied on self-study through books during the period before enrollment to learn Transfiguration magic, and even mastered it to such a degree.
Such a situation made him exceptionally outstanding among 11-year-old newly enrolled Wizards, so much so that even Flitwick couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Ravenclaw must be awarded one point for your excellent Transfiguration magic!" Professor Flitwick mischievously winked at Clarence, joking, "Even if I'm not your Transfiguration Class Professor, I think Minerva wouldn't be stingy with this point if she saw your Transfiguration magic."
Clarence found this difficult to respond to, as it seemed inappropriate no matter what he said. He could only change the subject, asking if this class was going to teach the Levitation Charm.
Perhaps because the topic of the first class was about to begin, Professor Flitwick clearly became interested and wanted Clarence to also demonstrate the Levitation Charm.
He believed that Clarence must have already mastered the Levitation Charm. After all, having been able to self-learn and master the more difficult Transfiguration magic, it was impossible that he couldn't even learn the simplest and most basic Levitation Charm; that would be too much of a specialization.
In fact, Clarence was not specialized, and his Levitation Charm was very proficient. Immediately after, Professor Flitwick asked him how large and heavy an object he could levitate.
The reason for this question was that being able to levitate larger and heavier objects meant a deeper mastery and understanding of the Levitation Charm.
Upon hearing this question, Clarence was also a bit confused, stating that he had not experimented and naturally did not know the extent of his Levitation Charm's capability.
Professor Flitwick nodded knowingly upon hearing this: "Yes, that's right. Indeed, very few Wizards, after learning this magic, will specifically test it, as finding suitable objects for testing is not an easy task.
The most important point is that there is no specific standard for testing this magic. The effect it can produce varies completely depending on different periods, different situations, and even different amounts of magic.
However, as the Professor of Charms Class, I naturally have some small tricks that can roughly test the limit of your Levitation Charm!"
Immediately after, Professor Flitwick casually picked out a feather from a pile of feathers. He said this was the teaching material needed for the class later.
Of course, he didn't want Clarence to cast a spell on this light feather, but rather he cast several unknown spells on the feather himself. However, because there was no change or abnormality, Clarence could not guess what the specific effects of these magic spells were.
After casting spells on the feather, Professor Flitwick signaled Clarence to cast the Levitation Charm on it again.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
With a gesture, Clarence cast the magic on the feather.
However, the result left him somewhat dumbfounded. Although the feather still floated, it only lifted a few centimeters from the table, and then it was as if there was a transparent barrier, preventing the feather from rising any further.
Clarence was stunned by disbelief, but Flitwick's eyes widened again, because the several spells he had cast on the feather earlier, although intended to better test the mastery and depth of understanding of the Levitation Charm.
And even though he had only controlled the input of magic power according to the standards of third and fourth-year students, the result still exceeded his expectations.
It could also be said that Clarence's ability to cast the Levitation Charm to this extent was no longer something a third or fourth-year student could achieve; at the very least, it had reached the standard of fifth or sixth-year students.
Although he had previously tested Clarence using the standards of third and fourth-year students because he saw Clarence skillfully casting spells and the effects showed his extremely high mastery of the Levitation Charm, Flitwick now felt that he had still underestimated him.
"Uh... I think, Clarence, your mastery of this magic has reached the standard of fifth or sixth-year students. By the way, can you tell me how you practiced this magic yourself before entering school?" Professor Flitwick asked with some curiosity.
Clarence first glanced at his System's skill panel, which showed that the Levitation Charm had reached level 11 when he practiced last night, because the experience for this skill was already close to leveling up.
So, when he practiced last night, he also practiced a few times and directly raised the skill to level 11.
...For practice, I just followed the content in the book and then repeatedly cast the Levitation Charm on different objects!"
Clarence could only answer this way. He couldn't possibly tell him that he had a Simplification System, and that the simplified Levitation Charm skill only required him to constantly weigh any object in his hand to increase skill experience points and then level up.
Therefore, he could only give the most common and normal answer.
"Is that so? Then it seems Clarence, your talent in magic is also extremely outstanding!"
Afterward, the two exchanged ideas in the classroom. Of course, while they said they were exchanging ideas, it was mostly Flitwick guiding and teaching Clarence.
What he didn't expect was that when he opened the skill panel again and saw the experience for the Levitation Charm skill, the experience points had actually surged by a full 80 points. Coupled with the 6 points gained from practice after upgrading last night, the experience bar was directly more than half full, reaching 86 points.
He truly hadn't expected that receiving guidance from a Professor could also increase skill experience, but upon closer thought, it was quite reasonable.
Because his skill panel was just the System displaying his own data after digitizing it; to put it simply, it was just a set of data.
But this set of data would change with his own transformations.
Although due to the mechanism of the Simplification System, when skills upgraded, it forcibly fed back knowledge to improve and enhance him.
But this also meant that he could obtain experience points not only through his own practice.
Just like the current situation, being guided and taught by a Professor with higher mastery and attainment in magic was equivalent to acquiring knowledge through learning, which in turn led to a corresponding increase in the skill's experience points on the panel.
This new discovery greatly surprised Clarence, because before this, after he had simplified some knowledge into skills, he rarely read books or listened to the Old Headmaster's classes, relying entirely on the feedback received after skill upgrades, so he had never discovered this matter.
With this discovery, Clarence's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Professor Flitwick. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask more questions, the classroom door was pushed open, and many young Wizards streamed in.
It was clearly time for class. Clarence sighed with a bit of regret, and after saying something to Professor Flitwick, he returned to his seat.
