Alchemical Fusion

Kayson felt a bit regretful. He quite enjoyed listening to music, but now he had no choice but to leave the office and start night wandering like a student.

It was just a shame that Filch didn't catch professors when they were out at night, which took away the fun of outsmarting him.

Along the way, Kayson had considered using a torch, but then he remembered that other wizards used that kind of pure light source, which he thought was called... Lumos?

Looking at his own pixel torch burning with flames, it just didn't have the same class. After thinking for a moment, he directly summoned a block of Fluorite that flew around him.

This looked much more sophisticated.

Kayson made his way to the library. Compared to the daytime, it was certainly less lively, but without Madam Pince's hawk-like gaze, it was also excellent.

The Fluorite circled him as he walked towards the Restricted Section. After all, he had gotten into the University of Manchester through his own merits, and his learning ability was definitely not bad. Ordinary alchemy books could no longer satisfy him during this time.

Of course, it was also because he was genuinely bored out of his mind. Besides alchemy, he couldn't learn any other magic!

Only alchemy could complement his abilities. To be honest, if Hogwarts' taught magic couldn't be replicated by his blocks, he would have given up long ago.

But then again, maybe in the future, if he improved his favorability to a certain level, he could directly unlock mods for himself, or even command blocks. At that time...

"Hehehehe!"

"Who's there!" an old, hoarse voice came from afar, sounding a little shaky if listened to carefully.

"It's me, Kayson Heath, the Alchemy Professor. You must be Mr. Filch?" Kayson waved his hand, making the Fluorite block fly to his chest, illuminating his face.

"It's Professor Heath. Please don't laugh so scarily in the future," Filch said dryly.

"I'll be careful. Am I disturbing your work?"

Kayson asked politely.

"No problem." Filch, carrying his not-so-bright lantern, finally appeared before Kayson after navigating row after row of bookshelves.

"I just came to confirm that you are indeed a professor. Some mischievous little wizards pretend to be professors to trick me. As long as you're the real deal, there's no problem."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kayson nodded, then noticed Filch's rather dim lantern. He rubbed his fingers together, and an exquisite wrought-iron lantern appeared in his hand.

"This is our first time meeting privately. Perhaps this can be a welcome gift. This is an alchemical creation; it will continue to shine without needing fuel."

"Oh... this is for me? You're not playing a prank on me?" Filch asked incredulously, looking at the brand-new lantern up close, and it was even a precious alchemical creation.

"Someone's playing pranks on you?" Kayson frowned.

"There are too many to count. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, those mischievous little wizards are always like this. A seemingly delicious candy can make your lips swell for a week, a shiny little thing can release an electric current, there are too many." Filch said casually, putting on an indifferent expression.

"You should go talk to their respective Heads of House. Also, I have no intention of playing a prank on you," Kayson said, handing the lantern to Filch.

"Oh... thank you, Professor."

Kayson didn't know what to say as he looked at the string of positive emotions appearing before him.

Filch before him might not lack food and clothing, but he clearly didn't receive equal treatment, to the point where a single lantern triggered such a cascade of positive emotions.

He was a pitiable person.

"Professor, are you here to catch students out at night?" Filch asked.

"Uh, no, I'm here to read. I couldn't sleep tonight," Kayson shook his head.

"Then I won't disturb you. I haven't seen you before, so you must be a very accomplished wizard. If you want to know about any strange rooms or secret passages in this castle, please feel free to ask me."

"I will. Thank you."

"Mmm..." Filch, carrying his new lantern, left the library. Kayson watched his retreating figure, feeling as though even his posture seemed younger.

"...Mr. Filch, you should perhaps buy a spyglass. That item can help you avoid pranks from mischievous little wizards and also prevent you from missing out on the kindness of other students,"

Kayson thought for a moment and then called out to remind him.

"I will, Professor."

After reading a book called "Forbidden Alchemy" in the Restricted Section of the library, Kayson felt that the level of alchemy wasn't particularly high, but the things inside were quite bizarre.

The most bizarre among them was Flesh Alchemy, such as fusing flesh and blood into alchemical creations. In forty millennia, this thing would probably be called wetware.

However, this was just Kayson's momentary brainstorming. What truly attracted him was another passage.

It was possible to fuse alchemical creations into flesh and blood, allowing one to gain the abilities of the alchemical creations.

This was something he really needed, and the workload wasn't large.

Now, his other blocks, like the explosive TNT, were almost indistinguishable from TNT, appearing only as a glowing block that would send enemies flying upon contact.

Or the Wither Skeleton Skull, which also directly sent enemies flying.

These two, in his mind, were comparable to Dark Magic blocks, and their attack methods were not much different from general Dark Magic, making them very effective against enemies.

The other blocks had no difference in comparison to the spells.

The only thing he truly needed to fuse into flesh and blood was the Ender Pearl.

That thing had to be thrown and shattered to teleport oneself, and the process of shattering it could easily be interrupted. Being interrupted by obstacles was one thing, but what if it was interrupted by a Killing Curse?

Wouldn't that just be a blatant flash-teleportation?

So, if this book in front of him could allow him to fuse with the Ender Pearl, like an Enderman, and teleport freely to any location.

This was practically the Apparition taught at Hogwarts, and not only was there no danger of splitting, but it was also not restricted by anti-Apparition jinxes.

This couldn't be better.
