Discussing Transfiguration, Hogwarts Will Be Great Again

There was a moment of silence in the Headmaster's Office.

Lucien's answer still elicited a slight nod from Dumbledore.

"Lucien, you are a good student who loves learning."

"By the way, have you encountered any problems with your studies lately?"

Lucien thought for a moment, and realized that what he had been mainly studying recently was, well, Transfiguration, or more precisely, Transfiguration through biological fusion.

I have mastered the fusion of simple biological features, but the fusion and Transfiguration of bones, skin, flesh, organs, and limbs, especially the more basic and subtle the Transfiguration, the more difficult it is. I am indeed still lacking in this area.

I had originally planned to ask Professor McGonagall for advice, but Dumbledore asked this question, I didn't.

Moreover, Dumbledore was a renowned Transfiguration master of his time, having served as Hogwarts ' Transfiguration professor in his early years.

"Headmaster, the Transfiguration I've been learning recently, specifically about biological Transfiguration..."

Dumbledore listened to Lucien's question and initially thought he was stuck on the step of turning inanimate objects into living things.

Thinking about how this child was extremely talented in Transfiguration, even being described by the Sorting Hat as the best in a lifetime, the greatest in a millennium.

But since they only formally encountered magic after arriving at Hogwarts, their prior knowledge was too limited, so it's normal to get stuck on certain points.

"Principal, I have mastered the Transfiguration from inanimate to living, but..."

As he spoke, Lucien pulled a small hoe from his pocket and pointed it at the hoe with his wand.

The small hoe suddenly twisted and transformed into a green turtle.

Dumbledore was about to praise Lucien for the naturalness and smoothness of his move.

But then he saw Lucien tap his wand again, and the turtle instantly Transfiguration into a little white rabbit.

This time, Dumbledore was genuinely surprised.

Transfiguration Stacking?

This is no simple Transfiguration technique.

The difficulty of Transfiguration the same object multiple times increases exponentially with each Transfiguration!

Just as Dumbledore thought Lucien wanted to ask how to stack the number of Transfiguration, Lucien cast Transfiguration on the rabbit again.

However, this was not the end. Lucien only stopped slightly Transfiguration.

Lucien then cast his final Transfiguration, but this time, unlike the previous ones, the Transfiguration was much slower and more difficult.

A peculiar "creature" displaying characteristics of several different organisms appeared on Dumbledore's table.

Upon seeing this presence, Dumbledore couldn't help but adjust his half-moon spectacles, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"You, did you learn this Transfiguration Stacking technique from Professor McGonagall?"

But Lucien shook his head.

"No, I learned it by reading the description in the book and practicing a few times."

"Did you learn this from reading books again?"

Lucien glanced at Dumbledore with some confusion.

"Yes, Principal, I don't think I've learned it wrong, it feels quite smooth. By the way, why did you say 'again'?"

"This..."

Dumbledore added another sugar cube to the teacup.

"That's right, I spoke with your dean, Professor Flitwick, before."

"He said you already possessed some very skillful magic when you first enrolled, and since you come from Muggle family, we guessed you learned magic through books."

Once Dumbledore said that, Lucien understood.

So that's how it is. No wonder when I chatted with Professor Flitwick before, he asked me how I learned those spells, saying that I learned them by reading books on my own, which is why the professor was so confused.

Sigh, I forgot to eat my little cake that time.

Professor Flitwick's tea and snacks were the most delicious, unlike Dumbledore's.

Lucien glanced at the several plates of desserts on the table, each one still undeniably sweet.

"Hehe, Lucien, you are indeed a very talented child, and so eager to learn."

"Go on, what would you like to ask about Transfiguration?"

Lucien nodded, pointing to the strange creature on the table that shouldn't exist in this world.

"Principal, regarding the fusion of different biological characteristics..."

As Lucien spoke, he used his wand to Transfiguration the creatures on the table.

At first, Dumbledore's expression was relatively normal, but as Lucien gradually began to describe more detailed changes in the internal physical characteristics of the creatures, a hint of seriousness appeared in Dumbledore's bright blue eyes.

In the field of Transfiguration, through multiple Transfiguration Stacking, different properties are selectively retained and then fused together.

This is a more advanced application technique.

But it's not actually practical; it's usually just a showpiece.

Because wizards with this ability can Transfiguration into more objects at the same time, they can perform more creative maneuvers in actual combat.

Simply fusing organisms results in two problems: slow Transfiguration and insufficient stability.

To reiterate, with this level of control, one can employ other Transfiguration and respond to situations more flexibly.

"Lucien, your question is excellent, about fusion organisms..."

Dumbledore explained the limitations and feasibility of this to Lucien.

Lucien had indeed considered this beforehand.

Firstly, I had the Chimera Manual at my disposal, which recorded many related experiments and hypotheses.

Wanting to attempt a more in-depth and thorough biological fusion, Lucien felt that he wasn't completely clueless, nor was he starting from scratch.

I am standing on the shoulders of Giant to move forward.

Yes, the author of the Chimera Manual, that ancient wizard, though seemingly mad, was undeniably talented and deeply knowledgeable.

His research has paved a wide path for him.

Moreover, perhaps due to his SSS-level Transfiguration talent, Lucien had an intuition about deeper and more thorough biological fusion:

feasible.

The newly created creatures may not possess the extraordinary magical abilities of true Magical Creatures, but they will certainly far surpass the realm of ordinary creatures.

This was an in-depth attempt, a true study of Transfiguration, and an exploration process that I had to go through in order to perfectly master Transfiguration.

If we don't even dare to try when predecessors have pointed out the direction, how can we innovate and discover new directions in Transfiguration?

"Thank you, Principal. I understand what you've said, and I also have some..."

Lucien shared some of his experimental results and ideas with Dumbledore, and also quoted some techniques from the Chimera Manual to make his ideas seem more feasible.

Dumbledore remained patient, listening to Lucien's account, occasionally asking questions or offering advice.

The more Dumbledore talked to Lucien, the more amazed he became.

This child not only possesses exceptional talent, but more importantly, he is willing to put in real effort.

But what truly moved Dumbledore was Lucien's passion and unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge.

As the conversation progressed, Dumbledore's guidance went beyond mere words.

After discussing it with Lucien, he took out the unique Elder Wand and began to put his ideas into practice.

This afternoon tea lasted exceptionally long, with the old man and the young man conducting numerous experiments with Transfiguration in the Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore truly witnessed Lucien's terrifying learning speed this time.

As time passed, Dumbledore couldn't help but recall the Sorting Hat and its words to him:

"... If you nurture Lucien well, Hogwarts will be great again..."
