Her hands gently shook. As Jia Na exited the state of mental suggestion, the black feathers originally attached to the back of her hands also disappeared in an instant.
"Student Jia Na, please stand up and share your experience with Deformation Art with everyone."
Jia Na, hearing her name called, was actually very surprised internally that she had succeeded on the first try.
But looking at Professor Lilith-McGonagall's hopeful eyes and the apprentices around her whose gazes were sharp, Jia Na pondered for a moment, then smiled and spoke to everyone:
"When I was casting, I kept fantasizing that I had grown wings and could fly as I pleased... Perhaps it was because this desire was too strong that I was able to exceed expectations and unleash what McGonagall Professor called the 'Power of the Mind'."
"That was an excellent answer! Please sit down, Student Jia Na."
"Thank you, Professor."
Continuing from Jia Na's words, Lilith-Meg, who was clearly in a much better mood than at the start of the class, continued to explain the so-called 'Power of the Mind' based on the premise of mental suggestion.
"Jia Na, what exactly is the Power of the Mind you mentioned? I was also suggesting to myself that I was a Raven just now, but why did nothing happen?"
Vivian gently nudged Jia Na with her elbow, her cute round face full of helplessness.
"Perhaps you mispronounced the incantation. Before suggesting to yourself, using the incantation to activate Mysticism power is also a very important step."
"Really? I thought I pronounced my incantation quite standardly..."
As the first Transformation Class gradually came to an end, until the class time was over, besides Jia Na, no second person in the entire classroom successfully managed to make feathers grow on the back of their hands.
"Today's class ends here. See you next week."
"Goodbye, McGonagall Professor."
...
"Miss Jia Na, could I trouble you to listen and see if my Mysticism incantation is correct?"
"Could I ask you what the 'Power of the Mind' is?"
"Miss Jia Na, does mental suggestion require immersing yourself in the emotions of a Raven? I mean... do I need to act like a Raven?"
As soon as Lilith-Meg left the classroom, Jia Na, who was the "Deformation Art genius" in everyone's eyes, was surrounded by several familiar apprentices like stars surrounding the moon, smiling and answering one seemingly basic Metamorphosis question after another.
"So, my personal suggestion is to let your mind become relaxed and deepen your self-suggestion in a relatively quiet environment..."
Jia Na's calm yet not perfunctory answers caused the apprentices surrounding her to nod thoughtfully, and then one by one, they expressed their sincere gratitude to Jia Na.
"It's really tiring being your friend. If I were surrounded by so many people, I would have been annoyed to death already."
Feeling the gazes of admiration or gratitude around Jia Na, Vivian, who had been bored accompanying Jia Na, also felt a bit overwhelmed.
"You'll get used to it."
Listening to Jia Na's lighthearted reply under her gentle smile, Vivian could only shrug.
"This kind of treatment isn't something you can get used to just by wanting to... Let's hurry and go, it's almost dark."
"Okay, let's go together."
...
After the two left the classroom, Vivian, who usually didn't like eating dinner in the cafeteria, uncharacteristically accompanied Jia Na for a quick bite, and then they parted ways downstairs at the dormitory building.
And after returning to the dormitory, Jia Na opened her skill panel immediately.
【Wizard Skills: Contract Summoning (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Elf Summoning (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Soul Lash (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Vine Entanglement (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Acid Spray (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), soul chain (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Siren's Chant (Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade), Elementary Transformation (Local Deformation: Level 1 - Upgradeable)】
"system, upgrade Elementary Transformation to the current level cap."
Swish—
According to the instruction given by Jia Na, 1800 skill experience points were deducted again and added to Elementary Transformation. As the skill entry continuously flickered, the status of Elementary Transformation on the skill panel changed to 【Elementary Transformation (Local Deformation: Level 19 - Temporarily Unable to Upgrade)】.
Boom—
Just like the previous few times, at the moment Jia Na completed the skill upgrade, various knowledge and details about Elementary Transformation appeared in her mind out of thin air.
As if she had practiced it thousands, tens of thousands of times, at this moment, Jia Na had a natural familiarity with the use of Deformation Art.
"By my will, I command you—Summon, Celestial Sparrow."
"Master, you're looking for me again."
Looking at the familiar dormitory environment around her, the shadow of being used as a practice dummy like a guinea pig last time still lingered in the heart of Celestial Sparrow Afu, not dissipating for a long time.
"Don't worry, I called you over this time purely to observe you more and find inspiration for Deformation Art."
"So Master wanted me to be a model? That's no problem!"
Hearing that she didn't have to be a practice dummy, the Celestial Sparrow's heart, which had been hanging, finally settled. She immediately flapped her wings, found a relatively clean empty spot on the experimental table, and squatted down.
"Very good, just stand there and try not to move."
"Okay, Master."
Like a statue, the Celestial Sparrow strictly carried out any of Jia Na's commands. So much so that Jia Na felt a little reluctant.
"Afu, you can relax a bit, it's okay even if you move a little."
"It's alright, Master. It is Afu's honor to serve you."
Looking at Afu's innocent and cute appearance, Jia Na's originally serious expression couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
It was also strange to say that Afu, as a Spirit World creature who signed an equal contract with Jia Na, was exceptionally loyal to Jia Na. Even compared to the Thorn Flower Fairy, which signed a mandatory contract, she was not inferior.
"Ravens have relatively harsh personalities. Compared to observing them, it's better to carefully observe the morphological structure of the Celestial Sparrow."
After making up her mind, Jia Na covered her eyes with mental power, activating her spirit vision to observe the structure of the Celestial Sparrow's wings.
"Celestial Sparrows, like Ravens, have wings with a light bone structure, and their bodies are streamlined, resulting in less wind resistance and faster flight speed."
While thinking, Jia Na began to recite the Mysticism incantation. As she quickly entered the state of mental suggestion, the frequency of magic power fluctuations on Jia Na's arms became faster and faster.
"Myriad transformations—"
Covered in white feathers, her wings spread out. In an instant, Jia Na's arms turned into two snowy white wings, and a rich sacred aura continuously pulsed and leaped between each feather.
"Is this Level 19 Partial Transfiguration..."
Magic power quickly drained away. Jia Na, whose current level was still only a First-Level Wizard Apprentice, quickly exited the Local Deformation state.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, Deformation Art should be a Witchcraft that consumes very little magic power, so why is my magic power draining so quickly..."
