Chapter 236: The Transfiguration Studies Genius
Upon hearing Lilith-Mag’s words, the apprentices who were registering for [Transfiguration Studies] for the first ti couldn't help but show bewildered expressions.
Just like Andy-Black—after hearing Lilith-Mag’s advice, he began to hesitate about whether or not he should leave.
After all, he had already paid the credits for [Interdiate Transfiguration Studies]. If he left now, wouldn’t those credits just go to waste?
“Of course, if you want to suspend your course application for this year, the credits you've paid can still be used next year—the decision is entirely up to you.”
Upon hearing this, Andy-Black couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least the credits were safe.
However, still feeling a bit unwilling, Andy-Black had no intention of standing up to leave.
His thoughts were simple: after all the waiting, the [Transfiguration Studies] course had finally arrived. Whether he could understand it or not, he wanted to at least finish one complete lecture.
What if he turned out to be that one-in-a-million [Transfiguration Studies] genius?
Thinking of this, Andy-Black's gaze involuntarily turned toward Janna in the front row.
From what he had heard, Janna had successfully perford [Transfiguration Spell] back in her first year. Because of that, her reputation as a “genius” had gradually spread throughout the White Coral Academy.
As Janna stepped into the public eye, everyone gradually realized that she had more than just beauty—she also possessed extraordinary talent that ordinary apprentices couldn’t rival.
At that mont, seeing that none of the new apprentices had any intention of leaving, Lilith-Mag, understanding that most of them were still clinging to false hope, didn’t say anything more and simply looked down at the teaching material in her hand.
“What is Elental Synergy? Can anyone answer this for ?”
“Professor—”
“All right, then let Lane answer for us.”
“Elental Synergy refers to the elental cycle of Fire producing tal, tal producing Water, Water producing Wood, and Wood producing Fire.”
“Very well answered.”
The one answering was none other than Lane-Toran, the third-year apprentice who, aside from Janna, was the second to master [Partial Transfiguration].
It was said that he was very skilled in [Potion Studies]. The [Synesthesia Potion] he had taken during class last year was one he had prepared himself.
“So then, what is the relationship between [Interdiate Transfiguration Studies] and Elental Synergy? Anyone want to answer?”
After speaking, Lilith-Mag’s gaze landed on Janna.
“Professor—”
“All right, then let’s have Janna give it a try.”
There was no need for Lilith-Mag to point her out. The mont Janna made eye contact with the professor, she already knew she was expected to raise her hand and answer.
“Because the premise of [Interdiate Transfiguration] is mastering soul transformation. And one of the easiest ways to achieve soul transformation is by finding an elental attribute that correlates with the attribute of one’s own soul—”
“Very well answered!”
After hearing Janna’s explanation, Lilith-Mag’s eyes lit up.
“It seems soone among you really has done so studying in advance.”
Looking at Janna’s elegant and humble smile, Lilith-Mag truly had the impulse at that mont to make her the chief apprentice.
Outstanding academic talent, admirable self-discipline, and astonishing gift in the field of transfiguration—and of course, most importantly, Janna’s appearance and character could both be described as the epito of elegance!
“Janna is correct. The most crucial point in [Interdiate Transfiguration] is soul transformation. As I ntioned in the previous chapters, the soul is microscopic—it has form but no fixed shape.”
“It is precisely due to this unique nature of the soul that we can use [ntal Power] to drive the soul to complete adaptive transformation, allowing the caster to fully transform from the inside out within a short ti.”
What Lilith-Mag was teaching ca from Chapter Four: [Does Transfiguration Have Limits?].
It was also the first ti she introduced the concept of [Soul Transformation] during last year’s [Beginner Transfiguration] course.
Up until now, Janna had only targeted plant-type creatures for both [Partial Transfiguration] and [Beginner Transfiguration].
Once she stepped outside the realm of “plant-type,” her mana consumption during transfiguration would skyrocket, making it impossible to sustain for long.
Currently, the [Elental Synergy] theory ntioned by Lilith-Mag was aid exactly at this problem.
It allowed apprentices like Janna, whose transfiguration targets were currently limited to plant-types, to break out of that single-attribute limitation and use occult rituals to achieve long-duration transfigurations across different attributes.
“For example, Water generating Wood is an easily understandable elental synergy. Apprentices with [Plant Affinity] talents have souls that, under the influence of their [Witch Talents], naturally tend to align with the [Wood] attribute during daily cultivation.”
When saying this, Lilith-Mag specifically looked at Janna.
Seeing this, Janna listened intently, taking occasional notes in her textbook, grateful for Lilith-Mag’s special attention.
“So, to reduce the difficulty of cross-attribute [Soul Transformation], not only must you choose synergistic elents, but apprentices attempting their first [Soul Transformation] should also use a [Synesthesia Ritual] to enhance their [Soul Perception] ability. This helps deepen your sense of the synergistic elent and speeds up the transformation process—”
The first half of the lecture mainly covered the basic concept of the [Principles of Elental Synergy] and an introduction to the [Synesthesia Ritual] magic formation.
In the second half, to deepen the apprentices’ understanding of the [Principles of Elental Synergy], Lilith-Mag took out five magical beasts of different attributes from her dinsional storage tool and instructed the students to begin with [Partial Transfiguration] to get accustod to the process.
“This is way too difficult...”
Looking at the row of magical beasts arranged across the podium, Andy-Black’s chubby face wrinkled like a stead bun.
Due to missing the previous chapters, ever since Andy-Black had sat down here, he had been in a complete fog.
Except for a few bits of knowledge, he spent most of the class in a daze—“Endless transformations—”
As a short chant rang out, sitting in front of Andy-Black, Janna’s hand suddenly turned completely dark brown.
Next, her ten fingers fused together. Before long, Janna’s long, fair hand transford into sothing that resembled a frog’s.
“So this is the gap between and Miss Janna...”
Watching as Janna’s hand continuously changed back and forth between a “palm” and a “frog’s webbed foot,” Andy-Black, who couldn’t even recite the [Partial Transfiguration] incantation, felt like every second he stayed there was a complete waste of ti—
