Chapter 89: Professor McGonagall is amazed, the most powerful genius in history!
At this moment, all the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw young wizards in the classroom were stunned.
They could never have imagined that someone would ask Professor McGonagall to be exempted from the next seven years of courses in the first class?
This is too explosive!
The young wizards didn't dare to breathe as they looked at Professor McGonagall, who had drawn her wand and looked furious.
When Ciel faced Professor McGonagall and heard her call him the most arrogant student in Hogwarts, he just smiled.
"To say something that you can't do is called arrogance."
"For someone like me, Professor, you should call me a genius."
Professor McGonagall stared at Ciel, feeling a little regretful.
She felt that perhaps it was her praise of Ciel's Transfiguration before the Sorting Ceremony yesterday that made the young wizard too proud of himself, and led him to have the arrogant idea that he could not learn anything in the Hogwarts classroom.
Then Professor McGonagall took a deep breath.
Since it was my own mistake, I should make amends for it myself.
She wanted to make Ciel realize how ridiculous the idea of requesting exemption from classes was.
Immediately, Professor McGonagall waved her wand.
The pieces of chalk in the classroom suddenly stretched and deformed like plasticine, turning into the most useful ropes in Transfiguration battles and wrapping around Charles.
Charles smiled slightly and waved his mithril wand as well.
The remaining chalks were transformed into sharp scissors in the same way, which were then used to accurately find the rope that Professor McGonagall had transformed and then cut it off fiercely.
In a moment, Professor McGonagall's attempt to tie up Ciel was foiled. Instead, Ciel continued to wave his wand, and a pair of sharp scissors approached Professor McGonagall.
Seeing this, the little wizards in the classroom couldn't contain their fear and screamed.
Professor McGonagall's pupils also shrank slightly.
She certainly didn't use her full strength when she attacked just now, but Transfiguration performed in anger was definitely not something that an ordinary wizard could handle.
Even the senior students at Hogwarts would be tied up in an instant.
But Charles was able to make restrained changes in such a short time, and his speed and accuracy were impeccable?
Then, facing the scissors coming towards her, Professor McGonagall waved her wand again without thinking too much.
The ground in the classroom began to deform, and the dirt and bricks bulged up, forming a solid wall in front of Professor McGonagall, blocking all the incoming scissors.
Charles' eyes also showed excitement.
This is the level of a master of transfiguration.
Before, when he dealt with those ordinary dark wizards, even without using the Dustless Land, he could still slaughter them with just Transfiguration.
The three-headed dog was just like that. It took advantage of the changes in terrain and easily restrained the beast that only knew how to use brute force.
This Transfiguration contest with Professor McGonagall was the most evenly matched one Ciel had ever had since he traveled through time.
He no longer held back and waved his mithril wand repeatedly. The blocked scissors immediately turned into a hissing poisonous snake, climbing up the earth wall and spreading towards Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall was also calm and composed. With a wave of her wand, the earth wall collapsed and the falling pieces of earth turned into eagles, which grabbed the venomous snakes and cut them into several pieces.
At the same time, several eagles flew towards Charles and grabbed his shoulders with their sharp claws.
Charles smiled and threw out a copper coin, which turned into a large metal net, catching all the eagles in the air.
Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and was about to speak.
Charles, who was in high spirits, used more changes.
As the magic wand was waved, miraculous transformations ensued.
The desks, books, teaching tools, even the soil and walls in the classroom all changed under Ciel's magic, transforming into lifelike animals that surrounded Professor McGonagall.
After all, the branch of Transfiguration that Ciel had deduced the most profoundly was Animagus Transfiguration, and the feedback from Animagus Transfiguration enabled Ciel to make great progress in the basic Transfiguration of animal transformation.
This is the highest level of Ciel Transfiguration without exposing the magical Animagus.
Lions roar, wolves howl, golden eagles circle...
When Professor McGonagall on the opposite side saw this scene, shock and admiration in her eyes were overflowing.
She was completely serious about it.
Compared to Ciel's partiality in Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall is much more balanced and comprehensive.
Being good at Animagus transformation also means that she is also good at animal transformation.
But at the same time, she is also proficient in summoning, disappearing, etc.
For a moment, Professor McGonagall also summoned many animals, accompanied by the waving of her wand and low chanting of incantations, as well as the summoning of flames and lightning related to Transfiguration.
From time to time, she would wave her wand to perform counter-summoning to eliminate the changes used by Ciel.
The little wizards who had retreated outside the classroom looked at the scene in the classroom, their faces full of doubts about life.
"Is Ciel on par with Professor McGonagall in the field of Transfiguration?"
"Is it true that one of the parties here is a first-year wizard?"
"Do I feel like it's a fight between gods? No, we're all here to study, why is Ciel so fierce?"
"He can't really graduate right after he enrolls, and won't have to go to class from now on, right?"
Just as the little wizards were shocked and at a loss, the smoke and dust in the classroom gradually dissipated.
At this time, Ciel was entangled in a rope conjured by Professor McGonagall, but he broke free with a little effort.
He smiled.
"Professor, you won, but is my performance good enough for me to be exempted from class?"
Opposite Ciel, Professor McGonagall had an extremely complicated expression, including confusion, shock, loss, and even a bit of doubt about life.
Just now she really used all her skills and used all her methods in various fields of Transfiguration to suppress Charles' Transfiguration.
But she had a feeling that Ciel still had some Transfiguration skills that he hadn't used yet.
If Ciel had given his all, it would have been hard to say who would have won this Transfiguration showdown.
She has been immersed in the field of Transfiguration for so long that she won the Best Young Witch of the Year Award when she just graduated from Hogwarts. Now she is also a famous master of Transfiguration in the wizarding world.
As a result, in the field of Transfiguration, he is on par with a first-year student?
Professor McGonagall felt a burning pain on her face when she thought about what she had said before: she would let Ciel know how ridiculous his words were.
With a level of skill like Ciel, if he could show outstanding achievements in a particular branch, he would deserve the title of Master of Transfiguration.
How could I be worthy enough to allow a master of Transfiguration to take classes with a group of young wizards?
Maybe it’s not Charles who is arrogant, but myself!
After coming to her senses, Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and apologized to Ciel.
"Ciel, I apologize for my prejudice."
"Indeed, your request for exemption from class is not arrogant, but reasonable."
"In Hogwarts, apart from Dumbledore, no one else is qualified to teach you in the field of Transfiguration, not even me."
Charles waved his hand.
"Professor McGonagall is too modest. I have lost."
"How about this, in the field of Transfiguration, how about we communicate more when we have time? I still have a lot to learn from you."
Charles' words were not false.
Professor McGonagall had just used all her strength, allowing Ciel to obtain a lot of materials for various branches of Transfiguration.
If you need to deduce on these branches later, you can save a lot of points.
After all, Professor McGonagall is a master of Transfiguration. Her experience and knowledge are absolutely treasures that cannot be obtained even by reading through all the papers.
Ciel felt that he could get a lot of Transfiguration materials from her.
And what Ciel said made Professor McGonagall excited.
She felt that she had been stuck in the field of Transfiguration for a long time. If she could communicate with a young, creative and talented wizard like Ciel, it would be of great help to her breakthrough in Transfiguration.
Immediately, Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement.
"It is also an honor to communicate with a genius who can be called a master of Transfiguration."
"Also, although it may not match the shocking transformation you displayed, and it may seem a bit childish and ridiculous to you, this is the most points I can add at one time..."
"Two hundred points to Hufflepuff for Ciel Evans's masterful Transfiguration!"
Then, with a slight bow, Ciel took the opportunity to discuss the Animagus Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall.
Although he has already surpassed the entire wizarding world in attainments in Animagus Transfiguration and has even completed the Animagus Transfiguration magic, a master of Transfiguration like Professor McGonagall who specializes in Animagus Transfiguration might have some very inspiring research results or magical materials.
Deep Blue can obtain knowledge about Hogwarts' defensive magic from the Marauder's Map, so who knows if he will get something from Professor McGonagall's collection.
Perhaps this could be the material for Ciel to further deduce the magic of Animagus!
After collecting the three magical Animagus, Ciel began to consider further deducing the Transfiguration.
The next step, according to Deep Blue, is to be able to freely transform into magical animals, and even into beings from long-lost myths and legends, and master the corresponding characteristics!
The number of points required is not something that can be achieved in a million, so every bit saved counts.
As for the area that Ciel started to discuss, Professor McGonagall was also immersed in it. For a scholar of her level, it was very rare to have someone of the same level to communicate with.
Dumbledore is from the Driving branch, which is different from Professor McGonagall's, so the advice he can give to Professor McGonagall is limited.
Now that she had met Ciel, Professor McGonagall was unwilling to miss the opportunity.
On the spot, the two of them started discussing and communicating in the classroom.
As for the remaining Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw little wizards, they were looking at each other.
"What should we do then?"
"What else can I do? Do you dare to disturb me?"
"Forget it, let's look at the textbook and study on our own."
"In fact, seeing that Ciel is also a first-year student and has mastered Transfiguration to this extent, maybe Transfiguration is not that difficult after all?"
A self-proclaimed clever little Ravenclaw wizard took out his wand and waved it confidently at a pen in his hand.
"Change!"
The other little wizards were also very excited and began to practice Transfiguration with a longing for it.
But even at the end of the get out of class, no one could make any changes.
At this moment, they fully understood the difficulty of Transfiguration, and when they looked at Ciel who was still communicating with Professor McGonagall, the shock and awe in their eyes were truly beyond words.
It turns out that the difficulty of transfiguration was not exaggerated, but that Ciel's talent was so strong that he was not in the same dimension as them at all!
At this moment, as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Ciel and Professor McGonagall's discussion was interrupted.
Professor McGonagall looked unsatisfied.
Many of Ciel's insights on Animagus transfiguration were a great inspiration to her.
After just a short exchange of ideas, Professor McGonagall felt that she had gained some new understanding of Transfiguration.
Charles also looked very satisfied.
Just now, Professor McGonagall mentioned a point in an ancient book of Transfiguration, which triggered Deep Blue's prompt, saying that Ciel had obtained advanced materials in the field of Animagus Transfiguration, which could reduce some of the points required to continue to deduce Animagus.
For Charles, exchanging his existing knowledge for these materials is the most cost-effective thing.
By communicating with Professor McGonagall a few more times, perhaps you can use Professor McGonagall's circle to get in touch with more masters of Transfiguration, and in this way you may be able to obtain more high-level materials.
In Charles' opinion, this is much wiser than foolishly hiding all his strength and attending classes with the little wizards!
At this time, Professor McGonagall said to Charles.
"If you have any opinions, feel free to come to my office and discuss them with me."
Ciel nodded in thanks.
Professor McGonagall asked again.
"By the way, Ciel, what's your next class?"
Charles said.
"Charms."
Professor McGonagall asked hesitantly.
“Did you also take this course…”
Ciel smiled.
"Yes, I think I don't need to attend the big class anymore. It might be more effective for me to communicate with Professor Flitwick alone."
Then, Charles walked out of the classroom.
And for the first time ever, a look of relief and secret joy appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.
That's great! If she was the only one who was asked to be exempted from class, even Professor McGonagall would feel a little embarrassed.
But now, there are still victims?
Professor McGonagall had a weird smile on her face.
"Flitwick, Flitwick, it's your turn to be shocked by this genius who may be the greatest genius in history."
……
At the same time, the Hogwarts students, who had just finished their first class, were hurrying through the corridors.
The first graders were even more excited, chattering about the wonders of magic.
Of course, there is also the desire to add points to the College Cup.
Hermione was walking down the corridor with Harry and Ron, all of them regretting their mistake on a question in class earlier.
"Lack of sleep. It must be the lack of sleep yesterday that caused my train of thought to get stuck."
"Otherwise I would be able to answer this question more comprehensively. In that case, instead of adding three points, I might be able to add five points to Gryffindor!"
Harry and Ron's mouth twitched twice.
Hermione is a real academic genius and she almost answered all the questions raised by the professor in class just now.
The two poor students could only stand by with confused looks on their faces.
After the class, Hermione probably gave Gryffindor nearly ten extra points!
Ron suddenly thought of Charles who had shined yesterday, and said with a hint of sourness.
"I wonder how much points the highly praised Charles Evans can add to Hufflepuff?"
"In my opinion, Hermione, you are too modest. If you put all the energy you put into reading books into practicing Transfiguration, you will definitely be stronger than Ciel when you enter school."
Hermione smiled bitterly.
"Transfiguration is known as the most advanced subject. How can it be that easy?"
"Since even Professor McGonagall praised him, one can only imagine Ciel's level of Transfiguration..."
Ron was still not convinced, but at this moment, the three of them passed by the location of the College Cup and saw a group of people gathered around the scoring hourglasses of each college, all of them standing there as if they were doubting their lives.
When they got closer, they saw that Hufflepuff's score was enough to beat all the other houses combined.
There were senior students nearby with confused faces.
"It's only the first day of school and Hufflepuff already has 200 points?"
"You must be joking. In previous years, Hufflepuffs might not even get 200 points by the middle of the school year. What's going on today?"
"Did the scoring magic go wrong?"
At this time, the first-year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards who had just walked out of the Transfiguration classroom answered their questions.
As they spoke, everyone present began to doubt their lives more and more.
"What's the matter?"
"You said that Ciel Evans went directly to Professor McGonagall to ask for exemption from class and to have a Transfiguration duel with Professor McGonagall?"
"He was on par with Professor McGonagall in Transfiguration, but was defeated due to his inferiority. However, Professor McGonagall herself admitted that he was a master of Transfiguration, and then he had academic exchanges with Professor McGonagall..."
"Fuck, can you please stop joking like that?"
But when all the first-year Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws said so, and solemnly vowed to let them go to the Transfiguration classroom to watch the aftermath of the battle, everyone swallowed with a gulp.
Harry, Ron and Hermione also fell into a daze.
A first-year student who was on par with the professor in his field of expertise and was acknowledged to be a master in Transfiguration?
They felt like they were listening to some legend!
After a long while, Hermione came back to her senses and a wry smile appeared on her face.
"The familiar feeling is back. This is how it feels every time I'm crushed by Ciel in a competition."
"I thought I was already very good among my peers, but Ciel always compared me with professional standards beyond my age."
"This time, it's too exaggerated..."
Hermione, who had read History of Magic, could guarantee that there had never been a student in history who had master-level Transfiguration skills right after entering school.
Dumbledore was far from it when he entered school!
In other words-
"Ciel Evans, he may be the most talented person in the history of Hogwarts!"
Hermione's words were like a thunderclap in everyone's mind.
Hogwarts has a history of thousands of years. There are probably more than one genius of Dumbledore's level here, and other outstanding wizards are even more numerous.
Now Hermione actually said that Ciel Evans is the greatest genius in history?
Stronger than Dumbledore back then? !
Subconsciously, some people want to deny this.
But before they could say anything, several senior Ravenclaw students hurried out of the Charms classroom with shocked looks on their faces.
"Hufflepuff's first-year wizard, Charles Evans, wants to have a spell duel with Dean Flitwick!"
The next moment, everyone present was in an uproar and ran desperately towards the spells classroom.
Hermione ran among the crowd with a dizzy head. She felt like she was in a dream and her heart was beating wildly.
She felt that everyone present might witness history today!
"Charles Evans, is he going to graduate right after he enrolls?!"
5k. Make up for the overdue updates and add more updates.
