Exceptional Talent

I am a snowy white Scottish Fold.

Today is not my lucky day.

I had envisioned myself at this moment, warmly greeting my goddess.

Embarking on a romantic journey through the skies above the forest.

Alas, a downpour left me disheveled, and the planned trip was aborted.

I am saddened.

When my master first pushed open the door, I felt as though I saw the light.

I flew to him, crying.

He didn't scold me for my little outburst; he even thoughtfully dried my feathers.

But now... I suspect my master has gone mad... What should I do?!

It turned out that Cypher returned to the dorm before eleven.

With magic in hand, far more detailed and simpler than the textbooks, he couldn't resist giving it a try.

The first spell was the Whirlwind Sweep.

Cypher stared at his empty and clean dorm, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, a sinister look crossed Cypher's face as he grinned and reached towards the terrified fat chicken.

Cypher didn't let Snowy off the hook.

He took out a few pieces of parchment and tore them into small scraps.

He scattered them haphazardly on the empty floor.

Then, he cast the spell on them over and over again.

After practicing for who knows how long, Cypher was finally able to gather the scattered scraps of paper into a pile with a single spell.

Oh! You ask what Snowy was doing.

Of course, Cypher was using magic to gather the scraps of paper together, and Snowy was flying over to scatter them!

The next morning, rays of light quietly entered the room through the gaps in the curtains.

The summer sun rises exceptionally early.

Up at six.

Cypher quickly washed up, tidied his appearance.

Feeling full of emotion.

Although the facilities in the castle were simple compared to his previous life, they were enough to crush his orphanage.

Cypher put on his shoes, slipped on a fitted shirt and shorts.

Full of energy, he went to the lounge.

While waiting, Cypher noticed several older students wearing Wizard Robes hurrying out of the lounge.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed they were going to the library.

"Sure enough, middle schools in every era require you to wear a uniform!"

Cypher returned to the dorm and put on his Wizard Robe.

When he returned to the lounge, Iris and Luna, already wearing Wizard Robes, were standing arm in arm, waiting for Cypher.

"We just stepped out and saw you scurrying back to the dorm."

Cypher asked the two why they didn't sit down and wait for him, but Iris retorted.

Well, she's still holding a grudge from last night.

"Okay, okay, I apologize, for wasting the precious time of you two young ladies."

"You're forgiven! Let's go, if we're late, something bad might happen."

Something bad? Do we have to queue?

Thinking of how he had to scramble to the cafeteria to grab food in his previous life, Cypher's face paled slightly.

What he didn't know was that most young wizards were still fighting with their beds...

The three of them hopped and skipped down the stairs.

They hurried to the Great Hall, and to Cypher's surprise, there weren't many young wizards.

The three of them easily found seats next to each other.

Cypher prepared a nutritious breakfast for the two girls, but was rewarded with eye rolls.

However, Cypher was firm, and they stuffed it into their stomachs.

As Iris tilted her head back to drink milk, she suddenly saw the clock on the wall, its hour hand already approaching seven.

Iris quickly tugged at Luna.

Luna, seeing this, hastily ate the last piece of vegetable.

Then, they grabbed Cypher and ran outside.

The two of them pulled him out of the Great Hall.

Cypher was about to ask what was happening.

When a chaotic sound came from behind them.

Owls were streaming in through the windows of the Great Hall.

Some waited for their owners on the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, while others flew to the recipients to deliver letters and newspapers.

In short, the scene was filled with aerial bombardments and flying feathers.

So, this is the terrible thing they were talking about.

Cypher suddenly understood that this surprise would indeed make one lose their appetite...

He ran all the way out of the main castle gates.

Cypher couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air, widening his eyes to greedily take in the scenery before him.

In the distance, the leaves of the trees occasionally reflected the light of water droplets, and the blades of grass along the road were covered in dewdrops as clear as crystals. The sky was cloudless, and looking east, he could see half a red sun rising in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Looking west, there was a road that bypassed the Black Lake they had crossed last night, leading directly from the station to the castle gate.

However, due to the entrance ceremony, the new students had to cross the Black Lake straight, climb a cliff, and then arrive at the place where he was now.

"This damn sense of ritual."

Cypher muttered softly.

"What?"

"Nothing. Shall we take a stroll by the Black Lake we crossed last night, or go to the Forbidden Forest over there?"

"Cypher, you really weren't paying attention last night. The headmaster said that new students are forbidden from approaching the Forbidden Forest."

Cypher awkwardly scratched his head. In that case, there was only one option.

"Let's go for a walk by the Black Lake first."

"Okay! I've heard that the Black Lake is home to a tribe of merpeople, and a kind giant squid that helps rescue little wizards who accidentally fall into the water..."

The two girls chattered in front of him, introducing the creatures in the Black Lake.

Occasionally, a few butterflies that left trails of fluorescent light circled around the two girls.

Luna was a little more reserved, only reaching out to catch the butterflies, while Iris directly followed the butterflies in circles.

"When they grow up, they'll turn into flower fairies in human form,"

Luna explained to Cypher, who had a look of curiosity on his face.

Finally, they arrived at the Black Lake, which looked like the sea.

Looking as far as the eye could see, the surface of the Black Lake disappeared into the horizon, drawing a beautiful arc.

The Forbidden Forest might be in a place similar to a folded space, otherwise such a large forest would have been developed by Muggles. Especially on the island of Britain.

Just as Cypher was looking at the horizon with emotion.

Two spell incantations came from behind him.

"Transfiguration!"

"Waterproof and Damp-proof!"

It turned out that Iris and Luna were working together to turn a slab of stone into a waterproof and damp-proof picnic mat.

The water rippled, the air was fresh, and a large, leafy tree above them shaded them from the sun.

Cypher lazily stretched and lay down.

"Cypher, let me teach you a few simple spells. Let me see how well you learn."

"Okay!"

I'm getting excited about magic, Cypher quickly sat up and sat cross-legged on the mat.

Luna and Iris, when Cypher made a gesture to lie down.

They sat side by side next to Cypher with their legs together.

Iris brushed a stray hair that had been blown by the wind away from her lips, and lightly touched her lips with her finger, thinking about where to start teaching.

"Let's start with the Levitation Charm. It's the first spell we learn in Charms class. I have to say, the textbook is terrible."

You're the granddaughter of the Charms professor, so you get to decide.

What's more, Cypher remembered the magic he had learned according to the textbook, and cast a Levitation Charm with the properties of an explosion spell...

He quickly shook his head, throwing these terrible experiences out of his mind.

Cypher listened wholeheartedly to Iris's teachings.

Unexpectedly, Iris told Cypher the key points and chanting techniques she had summarized, then took Cypher's hand, like someone being guided to write for the first time. Cypher cast his first proper modern Spell.

Cypher felt the magic flowing into the wand exceptionally smoothly.

Sure enough.

A large rock by the lake was steadily lifted into the air by Cypher.

This talent...

Iris and Luna widened their eyes.

They confirmed again and again that Cypher had only read the textbook and hadn't used his Mage Hand.

They both said, they were jealous
