Obstacles to Microstructure Research? Clues to a Terrifying Existence?!

Devero raised his hand and asked, "Professor, are you aware of the so-called indescribable existences?"

In truth, Devero did not genuinely expect to receive a definitive answer by posing this question.

He was far more concerned with Professor McGonagall's reaction to the inquiry.

Specifically, he wanted to know her perspective on the field of Micro-Structure Transfiguration.

It seemed as though the world truly lacked any real research into these micro-structures.

The entire wizarding world appeared to be in a state of significant stagnation regarding the study of micro-structures.

The latest research findings were actually seven years old.

For a scientific discipline, this was an utterly baffling standstill.

As for the reason behind such sluggish research, Devero surmised that it was exactly as Professor McGonagall had suggested: a lack of effective observational methods made it impossible for people to delve deeply into this field.

Consequently, they would be unable to perceive that indescribable, terrifying existence.

So, was Devero currently the only wizard in the world capable of exploring the microscopic world?

A thought then bubbled up in Devero's mind.

He could completely try to see if he could compile a table of micro-structures that everyone could master.

Then, he could be the one to confirm the corresponding micro-structure for every object.

Perhaps he could even achieve wandless Transfiguration!

Ultimately, he could reach the goal of performing Transfiguration without the need for a wand!

This was a massive business opportunity!

Of course, that was contingent on being able to resolve the threats within the microscopic world.

Although Devero had no particular yearning for money, he was certain that in the future, he would inevitably travel the world to explore every Wizard Secret Realm.

After all, if the wisdom of a single ancestor was already this formidable, how could Devero not continue to explore?!

Therefore, money was quite necessary.

Moreover, if he truly achieved success in the academic study of Transfiguration in the future, it was certain that there would be many opportunities to visit other schools for exchanges.

He might even be able to become a teacher.

And once he became a teacher, wouldn't exploring those schools be a sure thing?

It would also make it convenient for him to come into contact with outstanding talents from all over the world.

In other words, it would make it easier to load and copy entries!

Devero had already mapped out his plan in his heart.

He would blossom in multiple fields, such as Potions and Transfiguration, to carve out more paths for himself.

Who would have guessed that Devero's merely symbolic question would cause Professor McGonagall's expression to turn grave in an instant.

She quickly glanced around, as if terrified that someone might be eavesdropping.

Then, Professor McGonagall stood up and walked to the door.

She carefully opened a crack in the door.

She glanced left and right.

Only after confirming that no one was there.

Did she close the door and turn to face Devero.

She asked in a very serious tone.

"Alexander, why do you ask this question?"

Devero was quite surprised by Professor McGonagall's behavior.

He did not quite understand why her attitude had shifted so drastically.

So, he did not directly mention that he had sensed a threat in the Microscopic World.

Instead, he chose a rather vague reason.

"Professor, I was just curious. I saw some descriptions related to it in some newspapers before, so I wanted to ask you."

Devero tried his best to make his voice sound steady.

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall.

Frowned even tighter.

"Newspapers? Which newspapers?"

Devero panicked for a moment.

To tell the truth.

He hardly ever read newspapers at all.

His sources for information about the wizarding world were basically just bars.

Listening to various wizards bragging and chatting.

He basically didn't know what newspapers even existed in this wizarding world!

The only one he remembered from the original story was the Daily Prophet.

And...

"The Quibbler! Professor. I asked you this question because I read The Quibbler."

Devero blurted out in his haste.

At the same time, he silently apologized to Luna, whom he had never met.

Even though he didn't know her yet.

He figured the Daily Prophet was far too official.

After all, it was directly under the Ministry of Magic.

There was a high probability they wouldn't report on words or events like "indescribable."

And The Quibbler fit that niche perfectly.

In the original story.

This paper was full of all sorts of conspiracy theories.

So, if Devero splashed the dirty water of this "indescribable" talk onto them.

He figured no one would be particularly suspicious.

When Professor McGonagall heard the name The Quibbler.

Her brow relaxed just a little.

But she still spoke to Devero seriously.

"Alexander, information of this nature is fabricated. Do not believe the contents of such tabloids. Focus on your schoolwork, do you understand?"

Devero nodded repeatedly.

"That's all. Hurry back now, it's almost curfew."

Professor McGonagall stepped aside and opened the door.

Devero slipped out in a flash.

Professor McGonagall watched Devero's retreating figure.

She murmured to herself.

"Indescribable... Tindalos?"

Devero walked quickly along the dim corridor.

Turning through several hallways in succession.

Her majestic figure gradually faded from sight.

Devero's shoulders relaxed involuntarily.

The tension he had been holding also eased significantly.

He didn't know why just now.

He simply hadn't told Professor McGonagall about the terrifying sensations he experienced in the microscopic world.

He also felt that Professor McGonagall might not allow him to continue researching this area.

After all.

Academic exploration sometimes touches upon forbidden realms.

And these realms are often not suitable for every scholar to investigate.

Furthermore, judging by Professor McGonagall's demeanor.

It didn't seem like she was completely unaware.

Could it be that they actually knew about the existence of these terrifying entities?

But were unaware that such... things existed within the microscopic world?

At this thought, Devero narrowed his eyes.

Unfortunately, Devero currently had no leads to continue searching for clues in this regard.

No!

He did!

During this conversation.

Devero had unexpectedly caught a lead.

The newspaper Professor McGonagall mentioned, The Quibbler.

It seemed to be the key to researching those elusive entities.

Judging by Professor McGonagall's expression.

The Quibbler likely involved many unknown secrets and strange knowledge.

Therefore.

Reviewing past issues of this newspaper.

Might provide him with some valuable information.

He could even try to contact Lovegood directly.

That is, Luna's father.

To see if he knew anything.

"It's a pity Luna isn't at school right now."

Devero pondered for a moment.

He decided to subscribe to The Quibbler tomorrow.

And then try to get in touch with Lovegood.

But not tonight.

Devero had already obtained permission to be out late.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to just go back to bed obediently!

He definitely had to explore this school properly.

Devero smiled lightly.

The corners of his mouth curled upward slightly.

He felt an indescribable sense of excitement surging within him.

He turned and ran into the deep, dim corridor.

Leaving only the faint, receding light behind him.
