005- Ordinary Talent

The three-person team finally stepped into the classroom just before class started.

"I bet! Those stairs must have been deliberately aimed at us, trying to make us late." Ron who was still rubbing his still red nose, I stepped into the classroom first and glanced at the empty podium. It was a sigh of relief.

"It seems that we are not too late. The professor hasn't arrived yet." Harry also gave Ivan a somewhat grateful look this time. Fortunately, he got up early today, otherwise, he would definitely be late.

"No, I think the professor has arrived..." Ivan ignored the words of the two and glanced at the black cat on the podium, and then quickly turned to his seat.

Harry and Ron were confused, but after seeing Ivan calmly sitting they sat down, they saw the black cat on the podium suddenly jumped off the stage, it distorted and deformed, and by the time the cat landed, it had transformed into Professor McGonagall!

Harry and Ron were stunned. They understood what Ivan was talking about. They just didn't understand how Ivan knew that Professor McGonagall had changed into a cat?

Along with them, Professor McGonagall was also surprised. She used the form of Animagus to observe the situation of new students at the beginning of every semester, and also to display the transfiguration of Animagus as a high-level transfiguration technique. At the beginning of her class this year, she didn't expect to be recognized by a student.

She nodded with a slight approval, and Professor McGonagall started the teaching content of the first transfiguration class.

"Before starting the class, I want to remind you that... Transfiguration spells are arguably one of the most complex and dangerous spells you will learn in Hogwarts school. Whoever wants to be in my class, if you are mischievous, I'll throw you out and you can never come back!"

Professor McGonagall waved her wand and turned the podium in front of them into a pig. Amid the exclamation of the students, she changed the podium back.

Ivan sat at the front, could see the whole process of transfiguration clearly.

'Accurate, fast, flawless...'

Being able to transfigure a wooden podium into a creature with consciousness is tantamount to directly changing the structure of matter, and even temporarily providing the dead with intelligence. The mystery and power of magic are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

The magic of the wizarding world may be slightly inferior in terms of destructive power, but it has its own uniqueness in other aspects, it is comprehensive and complete!

Professor McGonagall's demonstration immediately aroused the interest of everyone. After explaining the methods and techniques on how to perform a basic transfiguration spell, she distributed a match to all the students. The goal was to turn the match into a silver needle...

When Professor McGonagall started to explain the Transfiguration spell, a reminder rang through Ivan's mind.

[Ding, you listened carefully to the professor's explanation and found that the content was a bit obscure, and the proficiency of the Transfiguration was slightly improved...]

Ivan called up the status and took a look, and there was an extra line of information in the Magicks tab.

[Transfiguration Level 0 (6/100)]

Seeing that the content was as expected, Ivan was a little delighted, which means that no matter what kind of magic it is, you only need to repeat the practice to increase your proficiency and you can quickly learn it.

But after Ivan repeated the spell for half a class, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought.

"Ivan Halls!"

"Mr. Halls!"

The stern and loud voice echoed in the closed classroom, attracting the attention of the students in the front and rear rows.

Professor McGonagall, who had not spoken until then, turned her head abruptly, and the students turned their heads back to their matches, or waved their wands over and over again at the match in front of them in distress or entanglement, trying to make it happen even a little bit.

Professor McGonagall looked around for a while and saw that the matches on the table of a witch with tousled hair had changed significantly, with more or less the appearance of needles, and then loosened her tight lips, revealing a trace of satisfaction.

After warning the little wizards who were still fishing for some drama, Professor McGonagall was able to turn her gaze to the stupefied boy in front of her, and said sternly, "Mr. Halls, I think I should have reminded you before that the release of the spell is very dangerous, and you should stay focused before releasing the magic!"

"In addition, repeating mechanical exercises does not provide much help. I think you should be more attentive, focused, and imagine what the silver needle looks like..."

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, I will pay attention..." Ivan Hals nodded politely, condensed his mind under the witch's gaze, and the wand in his hand was nearly twelve inches high in the air with a strange frequency wave.

On the black-gray wooden table, a match which seemed to be driven by some kind of force out of thin air, twisted and deformed, slowly changing its shape under the action of magic...

However, when the match was slowly deforming, under the influence of Professor McGonagall's magic it seemed to have stopped, and then it changed back to its original state in an instant.

This situation did not seem to have been beyond what Professor McGonagall could manage, so after changing the matchstick back, she just nodded and left with a sentence for more practice. After all, most of the new students who have just started school are also like Ivan. That's all.

The situation left Ivan Halls muttering a low sigh.

"It seems that accumulating proficiency is not so easy..."

After trying most of the class, Ivan has long lost the excitement he had before.

Because the growth rate of proficiency has slowed down after the previous surge, and it is not possible to increase proficiency every time he practiced the spell.

After a period of exploration, Ivan feels that this is not so much repeated practice to increase the proficiency of skills, but rather to present his own understanding of the spell in the form of proficiency.

After most of the class time, Ivan couldn't even do a stable transfiguration spell for a long time.

Just as Ivan Halls was driving out of the transfiguration class, he was suddenly poked a few times by a finger.

Ivan turned his head, only to realize that Harry, who was excited, was pointing at the two pointed, faintly shiny unidentified objects on the table in front of him while shouting loudly, "Hey, Ivan... Look, I did it, I did it!"

"Well, yes... Harry, you are amazing and talented!" Ivan glanced at the unknown objects on the table and nodded. The best in the transfiguration class can make the matches change significantly. Changing the form of the match for a long time, is already the upper level among the new students, at least, much more powerful than him.

"Right? I didn't expect that my uncle, they are all Muggles, before entering school, I always wondered if I could even do magic..."

Harry was calmed down by Ivan, as Harry gushed about his previous worries.

Before entering the magical world, Harry was nothing more than an ordinary 11-year-old boy and suddenly he suddenly became the savior in the eyes of everyone. Although he received unimaginable attention and glory, he also accepted the difficulty. The pressure of imagination.

Harry even thought about the embarrassing scene where he could not learn magic, but fortunately, the situation has not so bad.

Ivan was not surprised by Harry's rapid learning of magic. After all, the sorting hat made it clear when he assigned his house that he was brave, kind, and extremely talented!

The Sorting Hat even suggested that Harry goes to Slytherin's house. In the third year, he used the Patronus, which he had just learned, to destroy or drive away hundreds of Dementors.

Had it not been for his Hogwarts education to be overly carefree, it is estimated that the talented savior before his graduation would have the ability to be at least a professor.

Regarding this situation, Ivan said and he did not feel envy... no envy at all...

There are only a few talented wizards after all.

Ivan took a peek left and right and found that most of the students were of his level. He sighed a little bit out of relief. He heard Professor McGonagall's voice again, "Very well, Miss Granger! You can see, Miss Granger successfully transfigure the match into a silver needle. Five points to Gryffindor!"

In the aisle, not a few steps away from Ivan's seat, Professor McGonagall was holding a silver needle aloft and gestured to the students around her.

Hermione sitting upright, with brown hair scattered randomly on her shoulders, was proudly raising her small head, accepting the surprised or unexpected gazes of the students around her.

Ivan stared at the silver needle blankly, and the mentality he had just adjusted exploded in an instant...

"Damn it, it's only a bit worse! If I practice for a while, Professor McGonagall should praise me..." Ron poked the table with his wand and stared at Hermione looking depressed. He seems to be annoyed with the glory that was taken away.

Ivan glanced at Ron's table because he had lost his magic power and turned the matches into an unknown matter. He felt that Ron would not be able to reach Hermione's current level even after a few more lessons.

Although he is not much better, Ron's was even worse...

Ivan sighed a little helplessly, what about the talent that should have changed after reincarnation? It is said that soul integration will lead to a substantial increase in mental power?

The common routines in various novels did not show the slightest hint in Ivan's body. Only then can I understand how relevant the Sorting Hat's evaluation of my talent is.

Of course, as he was unable to do the transfiguration. Ivan guessed that in addition to talent, another difference should be caused by the sharp drop in the wand fitness caused by the soul replacement. The current wand was chosen for the old Ivan after all.

If magic power is equal to electricity, and a magic wand is equivalent to a plug and wiring, then the spell is all kinds of electrical appliances.

If the wires have short-circuited problems from time to time, and the lights will naturally not work properly.

However, Ivan will not be able to solve the problem of the magic wand in a short time. I am afraid that this magic wand will be used for this year at least.

After fighting with the match again for a while, the first class of transfiguration finally came to an end, and until the end, Ivan could not stabilize the shape of the match after being deformed.

On the contrary, he found a little trick that although is not very useful, that is, after condensing the magic power through the magic wand in a disorderly manner, it can form a slender magic beam. The only function is to return the unstable transfiguration spell to its original shape.

This was accidentally discovered by Ivan when he almost exploded the match after he failed to release the Transfiguration spell for the Nth time. It was of no use other than to play tricks on Ron in the Transfiguration class.

Just as Professor McGonagall announced the end and we could leave the class, another voice resounded in Ivan.

[Ding, after the host's unremitting efforts, the transfiguration teaching class is over, please continue to work hard.

Transfiguration class evaluation: medium

Evaluator: Minerva McGonagall

Reward: academic points =5]

Looking at the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Ivan had never thought of it before.

'Can I get rewards for class?'

Ivan was a little surprised, especially when he saw the three words academic achievement point, he even complained about it. How could it be the same as when he was in college before.

Apparently, it is evaluated by the professors of each subject.

What about the final exam? If the result is good or bad, there will be corresponding rewards and punishments, right?

Of course, Ivan is still very happy to be able to discover a function of the system again, but I don't know what this grade point can be used for?

After triggering the system panel, Ivan noticed his grade points.

Maybe it's because I haven't gotten it before, and related functions have not been turned on. After this time, it didn't take long for Ivan to find the new redemption option in the panel.

Ivan was slightly disappointed that there was only one solitary experience card in the entire redemption column. The exchange required 100 academic points. The effect was to greatly improve the efficiency of learning within an hour.

Ivan had imagined exchanging them for powerful magic or a forbidden spell before.

Is this the rhythm of learning to the end?

Ivan glanced at the five grade points that he had obtained after studying one class, and suddenly became a little desperate. In Hogwarts, there were only three to five class hours a day.

According to the five-point grade point for each class, wouldn't it take five days of accumulation to redeem the one-hour experience card?

This is too bad, right?

What can you learn in one hour?

But this is the end of the matter. Ivan has nothing to do with now, apart from this exchange, Ivan has no other way to improve this inefficient learning efficiency.

'What else can I do? study well...'

The transfiguration class is over, and the boring history of magic is next. Professor Bins who teaches this class is a boring ghost. The entire class is spent talking and teaching, ignoring the children.

This makes Ivan a little uncomfortable. The achievement of grade points is obviously related to the evaluation of his class by the professor, and the teaching method of the history of magic, Ivan, does not even have the opportunity to improve the evaluation.

After a whole class, Ivan once again received a middle evaluation and five grade points.

But soon, Ivan understood the benefits of the magic history class.

Because in the next charms class, I will learn how to apply magic power to an object smoothly and affect the object, which is the basis for learning the levitation spell. Due to the interference of the magic wand, Ivan spent the whole lesson trying and it was a success. During the period, the feathers used to cast the spell were blown up three times!

The grades are a little better than Neville,

and the fastest Miss Granger, only tried three times and achieved success...

For this reason, Ivan got a bad review in the class evaluation without exception and only two grade points...

The only good news is that after a few days of wandering around, the progress of the [Explore Hogwarts] task in the task tree has reached 30%, with an average of two grade points for every additional percentage point. I got a total of 60-grade points, which is much faster than the reward for classes every day, and finally let Ivan see the hope of collecting 100 academic points and redeeming an experience card.
