[Warning!]

[Host detected entering the Microscopic World!]

[Please act with caution, Host; the Microscopic World involves an Indescribable Existence!]

Devero sat in his chair, cold sweat breaking out across his skin.

At this moment.

The students around him were all fervently attempting their transfiguration.

No one paid any attention to Devero's strange behavior.

Microscopic World? Indescribable Existence?

Devero's mind was in complete chaos.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

The lingering effects of that terrifying experience remained.

His heart was still hammering rapidly.

Devero took a deep breath.

He tried to calm his racing heart.

After a long while.

Devero finally managed to settle down.

He could now think a little about what had just happened.

He had entered the Microscopic World.

This was a result of the massive boost in sensory perception brought about by the Zen Meditation Method.

As his magic and perception gradually converged.

He had been able to enter a space where he could see the essential connections of things.

Which was what the system called the Microscopic World.

And in this world.

There existed a terrifying, Indescribable Existence!

Devero had seen such a description twice before in the system's logs.

Once was just now.

The other time was at the very beginning, when the system first bound to him.

The Transmigrator entry Devero had received.

It stated that Devero was a person under the protection of a Great Existence.

So, that meant.

In this world.

Beyond what was known as magic.

There was something else in existence.

Beyond the dark wizards led by Voldemort.

Were there even more powerful and terrifying entities?

Recalling his rash decision to enter the Microscopic World earlier, Devero felt a lingering fear.

His body had almost reached its breaking point just now.

It was fortunate he had pulled himself out immediately.

Thinking of this.

Devero decided that until he understood the details of the Microscopic World more clearly.

He would temporarily cease exploring that place.

Having made up his mind.

Devero finally refocused his attention on the classroom.

The lesson was nearing its end.

Of all the students present, only Hermione.

Had managed to turn her matchstick into half a needle.

Professor McGonagall was very satisfied.

She awarded Gryffindor five points.

Devero looked down at the matchstick in his hand.

Even though he had performed complex operations within the microscopic world just moments ago.

From a macroscopic perspective.

It was still just an ordinary matchstick.

There was no change to its outward appearance.

Devero pondered for a moment.

Replaying every detail he had perceived in the microscopic world within his mind.

Every arrangement and combination of atoms.

He gently picked up the matchstick.

Closed his eyes.

Focused his spirit—

In an instant.

The matchstick transformed into a thin, long needle amidst a strange ripple.

[Ding!]

[New spell added to the library!]

[Please check the panel!]

Hearing the system's notification sound.

Devero did not stop his movements.

Instead, his gaze became even more focused.

The iron needle changed again in his hand.

Reverting back into that familiar matchstick.

A glimmer of disbelief flashed in Devero's eyes.

Because he had actually performed Transfiguration without the aid of a wand!

It wasn't just him.

The surrounding students were also stunned by this scene.

They remembered that Devero could only turn the matchstick into a fireball before.

And now.

He was able to perform the transformation with such ease!

"Well done, Alexander. Being able to transform an object and then restore it to its original state shows that you have grasped the principle of caution... wait, you didn't use a wand?"

Professor McGonagall's voice carried clear astonishment.

"Truly surprising! In my teaching career, this is the first time I have seen a first-year student capable of wandless magic."

"Hmm, truly incredible. Wandless magic, a very outstanding performance. Twenty points to Slytherin!"

Professor McGonagall praised.

Devero thus earned his first bonus points at Hogwarts.

He first opened his spell library to inspect it.

He discovered that there was indeed one more spell:

[Micro-Structure Transfiguration (Proficient/Wandless): Can perform arbitrary property and morphological transformations on objects whose micro-structures have been mastered.]

Arbitrary property and morphological transformations?

Devero's pupils constricted.

He picked up the matchstick again.

With a flick of his thought.

The matchstick transformed into a smaller-sized quill!

Professor McGonagall was right there beside him.

She sighed, thinking that today she had likely seen the most gifted student she had ever taught in her life.

Ultimately, amidst the shock of Devero continuously transforming the matchstick into different items.

Professor McGonagall awarded Devero another thirty points.

Which meant that in his very first class at school.

He had added fifty points to his house!

Professor McGonagall even called Devero the most talented student she had ever encountered!

And she warmly welcomed Devero to come and ask her questions after class.

Devero was very pleased.

Did you see that, System?

Even a Transfiguration master acknowledged his talent for Transfiguration.

It was clearly just the System that lacked an eye for quality, making him feel as though he had no talent.

Of course, that was just what he thought.

Devero was still very much looking forward to seeing just how powerful his Transfiguration talent would become once he loaded the copied "Transfiguration Prodigy" entry.

But at that moment, a question suddenly occurred to Devero.

He had only been able to change the match at will because he had mastered its specific Micro-Structure.

What about other matches, then?

Could he still achieve the same result?

Thinking of this, Devero took another match from the box.

He held it in his hand and focused his mind.

BOOM!

Another fireball leaped into the air!

Devero had once again become an "Explosion Mage."

He could only wait for Professor McGonagall to walk over with a dark expression and deduct ten points from him.

She refused to believe it was a lack of skill on his part.

Indeed, Devero had performed the Transfiguration spell so smoothly just moments ago that no one would believe this wasn't intentional.

As a result, he happily earned a ten-point penalty.

It seemed that, for the time being, he could not use Micro-Structure Transfiguration on anything other than the match currently in his hand.

Because he had not observed their specific Micro-Structures, applying the method he used for the first match caused the target's properties to become unstable, turning it into something highly destructive like a fireball.

Devero drew his wand.

He successfully turned a match into a needle.

This time, he had referenced both Micro-Structure Transfiguration and the content Professor McGonagall had taught in class.

In other words, aside from entering the Microscopic World, Devero still had no quick way to master Transfiguration.

He would have to wait for the entry copy to be reorganized.

Devero thought of something.

Since he could explore the Microscopic World, he certainly wasn't the only one in the entire wizarding world capable of doing so.

As for the terrifying entities within the Microscopic World, he wondered if Professor McGonagall knew anything about that.

Devero decided to speak with Professor McGonagall privately after class about this issue.

Soon, Transfiguration class ended.

Devero followed the crowd to Professor Flitwick's Charms class.

Although he no longer needed to listen, he held onto the idea of experiencing student life, and besides, Flitwick would soon provide him with the current progress of each grade level.

Devero still needed to get a handle on the situation.

There really was quite a lot to do!
