Chapter 147 Have you been turned into a pig today?
***edited by x10***
The welcome ceremony for the new professor was held at 6 pm on Monday.
As if to reduce the impact of Professor Didi's departure from school, the welcome ceremony this time was extraordinarily grand.
Claire herself wasn't very interested in this, but she was trying her best to cooperate for the development of her alma mater.
Even though she wasn't interested, there were some small incidents that surprised her during the stage speech.
The first-year students at Magister House and Fool House prepared gifts for her and gave them to her in front of the whole school.
There was also a student, who gave her a bouquet with a flushed face.
It was not because she was the new professor.
But because she was a student of Saint Marian and a hero of mankind!
...
The first year’s history of magic was on the second and fourth days of the week.
Claire had been preparing lessons since Monday morning, and she replaced Principal Arte on Tuesday afternoon to stand on the podium to give her first class on the history of magic.
The students of the four Houses respected the hero who had the title of ‘Sage of Beasts’, so they behaved very well at the beginning of the class.
Claire passed the self-introduction stage smoothly and started a formal lecture.
Her teaching style was closer to that of Principal Arte. The stories she told were completely out of the textbook. They were both interesting and informative.
If Dark had to think of a shortcoming, it was that there was almost no emotion in her tone when she told the stories. It was like stating facts from an objective standpoint but lacking a sense of immersion.
She was similar to Professor Didi in this regard.
In short, listening to her lecture for a long time could easily make people drowsy.
Claire seemed to be just that kind of person.
She was intellectual and rational, indifferent and wise.
...
After the initial excitement, the little magisters were less excited about the new professor joining.
Claire integrated into the atmosphere of the academy at a very fast pace and captured the favor of a group of students because of her good image and gentle temperament.
Although some students did not like her, no one dared to say anything.
...
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
The students gradually adjusted to the arrival of the new professor.
Claire also gradually adjusted to her new identity.
November 21st, Tuesday afternoon.
Claire finally revealed a trace of her true nature in her third lecture on the history of magic.
→ She turned a student who was sleeping in class into a pig!
Although it was a chubby little pig that made one want to hug it, a pig was still a pig.
Claire called out the name of the student and the student lying on the table was instantly turned into a pig before other students could react!
The student almost thought that he was still in the nightmare.
Anyone who suddenly woke up in class to find out that he had turned into a pig would probably want to escape from reality.
But the consternation, shock, fear, and schadenfreude projected by the students of the same year around him gave him an extremely ominous premonition.
It was not until Professor Claire Kate's criticism came into his ears that it dawned on him.
...
Looking at the snorting pig, Robert Brogheim, who almost fell asleep, shuddered violently, and almost screamed.
He hurriedly wiped the saliva from his mouth and said in a trembling voice to White, "White, am I awake now?"
White, who was also drowsy, was also breaking out in cold sweat at this moment.
Over the course of last week, the enthusiasm to explore the secret passage gradually cooled down and the number of assignments assigned by the professors gradually returned to their normal levels.
With the assignments reducing, White and Robert would run to the secret passage every night to explore while fighting the golems in the secret passage.
While there were other people who entered the secret passage as well but their numbers were few.
Over the week, White's treasure hunt had finally made some progress.
But it was difficult to handle the exploration of the passage at night and classes in the morning. As a result, some students started to doze off in classes.
Every now and then, some students would be late for the first class in the morning.
Though White and Robert weren’t late to the classes, they were listless which affected their performance in the class.
But White didn’t have time to care about these things. He was more concerned with the Spell cards and his credits.
Although the [Magic Bullet Spell] succeeded, the two packs of [Blinking Spell] materials he bought with 2000 credits both ended up in failure!
But he had no more credits to use.
He really needed the treasure left by his father!
...
After this class was over, the stories about the actions of the new history of magic professor in the class spread like wildfire.
The originally excellent evaluations of her between students began to fluctuate in a very short period of time.
The juniors were terrified, and the seniors were stunned by Professor Kate's mastery of transformation.
Other professors would only deduct credits.
But Professor Claire Kate would turn people into pigs!
...
Although the duration of the transformation into a pig was short, it would still be a huge stain on the student’s life in the academy.
Think about it, what if one day after graduation, you accidentally encountered a classmate on the road?
You both obviously recognize each other and greet each other enthusiastically, but the other party doesn’t remember your name for a while. After thinking hard, the other party suddenly says: "I remembered it! You are the XXX who was turned into a pig in the class!"
Just the thought of it would make one want to kill oneself on the spot.
...
Little magisters would no longer dare to be distracted in the class in the history of magic.
...
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
After learning some basic knowledge of ‘Magical Language’, Dark finally had some confidence in refining [Blinking Spell].
November 29th, Wednesday afternoon.
After Dark was fully prepared, he began refining [Blinking Spell] in the dormitory.
As a backup, he bought an extra pack of [Blinking Spell] last weekend.
[Blinking Spell]'s refining conundrum was mainly on the Magic Charm's imprint.
But after he self-taught himself ‘Magical Language’, Dark was able to overcome this level more proficiently.
After that, the refining process became rather smooth.
Even Dark himself did not expect that he would succeed in the first [Blinking Spell] refining!
[Blinking Spell] was a Magic Charm involving space jumping.
If a magic mage of the old era wanted to master this type of magic, they would have to be extremely talented.
But in the age of magisters, even beginners like Dark could master it by refining the Magic Charm Card.
The effect of [Blinking Spell] was very straightforward, it would teleport one forward by three meters.
In addition to being used for emergency dodges, the most effective use was to jump over obstacles such as walls.
If used well, it could even save one’s life.
It would be better to have as many as possible of these Magic Charm Cards.
Therefore, after Dark successfully refined the first [Blinking Spell], he immediately started refining the second one.
However, in the refining of the second one, he made new mistakes and omissions which directly led to the failure of refining.
Fortunately, the core materials were not used and as long as some cheaper basic materials were added, the refining could be restarted.
So Dark was not discouraged.
Instead, he recorded the entire process.
On the same day, he found Professor Cazer, and with his help, he found the mistakes and omissions, and also developed a deeper understanding of "Magical Language".
