[Warning!]
[Host has entered the Microscopic World!]
[Please proceed with caution, host. The Microscopic World involves an Indescribable Existence!]
Devero sat in his chair, drenched in cold sweat.
At that moment,
the students around him were all eagerly trying to perform Transfiguration.
No one paid any attention to Devero's strange behavior.
"The Microscopic World? An Indescribable Existence?"
Devero's mind was in turmoil.
Thump! Thump! Thump...
The lingering terror of that experience still gripped him.
His heart was still pounding rapidly.
Devero took a deep breath,
trying to steady his heartbeat.
After quite a while,
Devero finally calmed down.
Only then could he think about what had just happened.
He had entered the Microscopic World.
This was thanks to the immense improvement in perception brought about by the Zen Meditation Method.
As his magic and perception gradually settled,
he had entered a space where he could see the connections that formed the essence of things.
In other words, the world the system called the Microscopic World.
And in that world,
there was a terrifying Indescribable Existence!
Devero had seen this kind of description twice before in the system's messages.
Once was just now.
The other time had been when the system first bound itself to him.
The Transmigrator entry Devero had received
said that he was someone blessed by a Great Existence.
In other words,
there were other things in this world besides what people called magic.
Beyond the dark wizards led by Voldemort,
were there even more powerful, terrifying beings?
Now that Devero thought back to his reckless attempt to enter the Microscopic World,
he felt a lingering fear.
His body had nearly given out just then.
Luckily, he had gotten out immediately.
With that in mind,
Devero decided that until he understood the Microscopic World better,
he would stop exploring it for now.
Having made up his mind,
Devero turned his attention back to the lesson.
Class was nearing its end.
Of all the students present, only Hermione
had managed to turn her matchstick halfway into a needle.
Professor McGonagall was very pleased
and awarded Gryffindor five points.
Devero looked at the matchstick in his hand.
Even though he had performed complex operations in the Microscopic World just moments ago,
from a macroscopic perspective,
it was still just an ordinary matchstick.
Its appearance hadn't changed at all.
Devero thought for a moment,
replaying every detail he had sensed in the Microscopic World.
Every arrangement and combination of atoms.
He gently picked up the matchstick,
closed his eyes,
and focused--
In an instant,
the matchstick transformed into a long, thin needle amid a strange ripple.
[Ding!]
[New spell added to the library!]
[Please check the panel!]
Hearing the system's notification,
Devero didn't stop.
Instead, his gaze grew even more focused.
The iron needle in his hand changed again,
turning back into the familiar matchstick.
A look of disbelief flashed through Devero's eyes.
He had cast a Transfiguration Spell without using his wand!
It wasn't just Devero himself—
the students around him were all stunned by the sight.
They remembered that Devero had only been able to turn matchsticks into fireballs before.
And now,
he could perform Transfiguration so effortlessly!
"Well done, Alexander. Being able to transform an object and then restore it to its original form shows that you've grasped the principle of caution... Wait, you didn't use your wand?"
Professor McGonagall's voice was full of surprise.
"That's astonishing! In all my years of teaching, I've never seen a first-year student perform Wandless Magic."
"Truly incredible. Wandless Magic—a remarkable achievement. Twenty points to Slytherin!"
Professor McGonagall praised him.
That earned Devero his first points at Hogwarts.
He first opened his Spell Library to check,
and found that it did indeed contain a new spell:
[Micro-Structure Transfiguration (Proficient/Wandless): Allows the user to transform an object whose microstructure they have mastered into any desired property and form]
Any desired property and form?
Devero's pupils contracted.
He picked up the matchstick again.
With a single thought,
it transformed into a smaller quill!
Professor McGonagall was standing right beside him.
She remarked that she had probably just witnessed the most talented student she had ever taught.
After Devero repeatedly transformed the matchstick into different objects, leaving her astounded,
Professor McGonagall awarded him another thirty points.
That meant that in his very first class at school,
Devero had earned his House fifty points!
Professor McGonagall even called Devero the most talented student she had ever met
and warmly invited him to come ask her questions after class.
Devero was delighted.
Did the system see that?
Even the Transfiguration master recognized his talent.
So much for the system not recognizing his talent.
Of course, that was what he thought,
but Devero was still looking forward to seeing how strong his Transfiguration talent would become
once he loaded the Transfiguration Prodigy entry he had copied!
But then,
Devero suddenly thought of something.
He had mastered the microstructure of the matchstick in his hand,
which was why he could transform it however he wished.
But what about other matchsticks?
Could he do the same with them?
Thinking this,
Devero took another matchstick from the box.
He picked it up and held it in his hand.
With a single thought,
Bang!
Another fireball shot through the air!
Devero had become an "Explosion Mage" once again.
Professor McGonagall came over with a dark expression and took ten points from him.
She refused to believe he simply hadn't mastered the spell.
That was fair.
Devero had performed the Transfiguration Spell so smoothly just moments ago.
No one believed he hadn't done it on purpose this time.
And so, he was rewarded with a ten-point deduction.
It seemed that for now, he couldn't use Micro-Structure Transfiguration on anything other than the matchstick he had already handled.
He hadn't observed their precise microstructures.
So if he tried to apply the structure he had learned from the first matchstick,
the target's properties would become unstable,
turning it into something destructive, like a fireball.
Devero drew his wand
and successfully transformed a matchstick into a needle.
This time, he had drawn on both Micro-Structure Transfiguration and what Professor McGonagall had taught in class.
In other words,
for now, aside from entering the Microscopic World,
Devero still had no quick way to master Transfiguration.
He would have to wait until his copied entries were reorganized.
Devero thought of something else.
If he could explore the Microscopic World,
then surely he wasn't the only person in the Wizarding World who could.
As for the terrifying existence in the Microscopic World,
he wondered if Professor McGonagall knew anything about it.
Devero decided to talk to Professor McGonagall about it in private after class.
Soon,
Transfiguration Class was over.
Devero followed the others to Professor Flitwick's Charms Class.
He didn't need to attend anymore,
but he wanted to experience student life,
and Flitwick would also tell him what each year was currently studying.
Devero still needed to find out more.
He really did have a lot to do!
