There is no essential difference between the rats in the wizarding world and the Mammalia, Rodents, and Muridae rats that Zheng Qing has seen since he was a child - they all have gray hair, long tails, and can dig holes and climb trees.
It swims, has strong vitality, and has an extraordinary reproduction speed. It likes to live in sewers, ditches, graveyards and other places - at best, the rats in the wizarding world are slightly bigger, have a slightly higher IQ, and have stronger survivability.
This is the proper meaning for mice to survive in the wizarding world. After all, this is the world where wizards live. Other creatures wandering on the edge of the world must have stronger adaptability than their distant relatives, otherwise they would have been hunted by other animals.
The eaters have hunted them all.
After hearing the tasks assigned by Lao Yao, the classroom was full of grief.
Especially those delicate witches, who did not hide the expressions of disgust on their faces - Zheng Qing had every reason to believe that the task assigned to the students by the school would definitely set off a stir in the underground black market among the students.
There is a craze for buying and selling rats and other creatures.
Rich young wizards have always been willing to use silver horns and golden beans in exchange for precious time to complete more important things in their minds. For example, a magic experiment, a hunting match, pursuing a witch, etc.
Wizards who have no money can only exchange time for limited money to support their simple and boring learning career.
For some reason, when thinking of these transactions, the image of a strong, fat wizard immediately appeared in the mind of the young public-sponsored student. Zheng Qing remembered that Seprano and his Cheung Kei Association seemed to have been conducting similar transactions in the school.
Although this is the case, this does not mean that Zheng Qing will go to Serprano to buy rats for cross-examination.
Because he transformed into a cat, he has some psychological resistance to catching mice, as if these mice are an important boundary between his human identity and his cat identity. If he really happily catches mice, doesn't it mean that he is still obsessed with it?
Affected by the cat's spirit - especially since he had a situation during his recent transformation, he is extremely sensitive to these details.
It’s true that the more you hate something, the more it will come to you.
The young public-sponsored student sighed secretly in his heart and his face turned extremely ugly.
In the past two weeks, he has been trying his best to avoid this work. Even if the school working committee issued a certain material reward, he was not moved. Now it is better, Lao Yao directly linked this matter with the final evaluation.
Even without raising his head, Zheng Qing could clearly feel the violent shrugs of Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin sitting in the front row, as well as the silent ridicule.
Professor Yao on the podium seemed not to notice the resisting looks in the audience and concluded:
"So, we professors did not follow the Legion of the Wizards Alliance to attack a new world, nor did we quell the demon rebellion in the black prison, nor did we assist the 'relevant departments' to experiment with new forbidden spells... We have the ability to spread
With these rumors, it’s better to seize the time and catch two more mice.”
There were a few faint laughs in the hall.
Zheng Qing knew that Lao Yao deliberately chose to hand over the task of catching mice before class. A large part of the reason was to explain to the young wizards in the hall the whereabouts of himself and other professors - especially this semester, all kinds of...
Accidents occur frequently, making many people feel a little panicked. Recently, when the professors are away, there have been many similar rumors.
However, now that the explanation has been clearly explained, Lao Yao naturally got back to the topic:
"You have already understood your tasks! Then don't forget to take time to complete your tasks... Of course, this time naturally refers to your extracurricular time."
"Now, put away your Dharma books, open the "Standard Spells", and turn the textbook to the second section of Chapter 3. Starting from the class I was absent from, we will quickly go over the knowledge points... There were no knowledge points in the previous two classes.
You guys who know too much, please pay attention! I will only go through this once, you will not have another chance."
…
…
With a tangled mood, Zheng Qing ended the first class of his fourteenth week of school.
There is always a road ahead, and success will always come. Although he was assigned a terrible task, Lao Yao finally brought some good news.
For example, the final inspection report on the abnormality of Zheng Qing’s transformation technique.
Since the abnormality in the transformation two weeks ago, Zheng Qing has not dared to try to transform into a cat in the past two weeks, although he has guarded seven or eight transformation potions. Magic is a rigorous skill after all, and most of them
People who use magic in a daze will eventually lose their lives in a daze.
Zheng Qing felt that he should not be so stupid.
Two weeks ago, according to Lao Yao's request, after he handed over his transfiguration notes, the ampoule containing the transfiguration potion, and a well-sealed transfiguration potion to Professor Li, he followed a paper crane a week ago,
I went to the school hospital for a new full-body test.
Then there is no more content.
It was not until today, after the Charms get out of class, that Old Yao stopped the young public-funded student and handed him the test report.
"The good news is that there is nothing wrong with the transformation potion you used, your transformation notes, and the complete tests you did at the school hospital... Your body is very healthy, except that the Nianzi force field is still a little active.
, there are no other abnormalities.”
"What a pity," Zheng Qing muttered, with an expression of pity on his face: "I heard that Fitzer's company is very large... It would be great if it was really his medicine that had a problem."
Lao Yao raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and slapped Zheng Qing on the head: "You are not even a registered wizard, but you still want to seek compensation from Fitzer... It's ridiculous. I really thought their company hired a lawyer.
Is the group free of charge?"
Zheng Qing touched the back of his head, smiled, and asked cautiously: "What about the bad news?"
Where there is good news, there will naturally be bad news.
Things in this world have always been like this.
Lao Yao put the pipe into his mouth and replied vaguely: "The bad news is that the reason for your abnormal transformation has not been detected through existing technical means... This also means that my previous guess is not possible.
The biggest.”
According to Professor Yao's previous speculation, Zheng Qing was still able to use magic power after his transformation because there was a 'trace of the forbidden curse' left by a certain shadow in his body - in this world, only the forbidden curse can
By ignoring the existing magic rules and theorems, Mundell's Paradox can be subverted at will.
The young public-sponsored student couldn't help but think of the huge forces in the wizarding world who were eager for forbidden spells. His mood, which had been lifted for a few minutes, immediately dropped again. And it was even lower than before he knew the good news.
