Chapter 38: That’s What You Two Said

Chapter 38: That’s What You Two Said

Well, this story had to start a few days ago.

Since Ocris started the extra tutoring sessions, Louis returned to the dormitory on time, but he didn’t delay his other business either. After all, with his level, whether it was Apparition, Transfiguration, or Four-Dimensional Inversion, he could leave the dormitory without anyone noticing.

The Sea Serpent robe was also finished quickly.

And starting the very next day after this robe was made, the two sisters began showcasing their expressive acting in class.

That evening, there were two classes: Transfiguration and Apparition. During the Transfiguration class, the two sisters couldn’t help but discuss a strange incident that happened at the academy the night before.

“Sister, d-d-did you hear about the strange thing that happened these past two days?” Helen said, shivering.

“I, I heard.” Ocris couldn’t help but pull her collar tighter and whispered to Louis and Helen, “Don’t go out randomly these two days—a Welsh Green Dragon went missing from the Dragon District!”

“Yes, yes! I heard from Miss Ophine (the ghost of Yordle Tower) that she saw a huge strange snake, and inside the snake’s belly, there was a dragon-shaped bulge!”

The two sisters shivered as they talked about it. Louis buried his head in his book and didn’t join the discussion at all.

“Ahem, alright, alright, class, class.” Ocris walked to the blackboard and tapped it, saying, “Let’s continue with Transfiguration—Helen, stop talking about that, look how scared Louis is.”

Louis secretly wiped off a cold sweat. Helen glanced at Louis, pursed her lips, and picked up her book too.

Speaking of which, during these past few days of Transfiguration classes, Ocris was surprised to discover that under the guidance of her, this top student, her clumsy student Louis actually showed a bit of a small talent.

Yesterday, Louis actually turned a rock into a rock apple!

This greatly surprised Ocris.

Today, Louis actually turned the rock into a red apple!

In just two days, this left Ocris utterly shocked. Originally, according to her imagination, it would take Louis at least two weeks to reach this level.

Louis gave a very reasonable explanation for this—during the teacher’s six years of instruction, even though he hadn’t used magic spells, he did have the skill. He couldn’t do magic before only because he hadn’t found the key, but in these two days of the teacher’s hands-on guidance, Louis had already found a real path.

This made Ocris very proud, but Helen’s mouth pouted—look at Louis’s smug face, what’s there to be proud of?

Helen immediately displayed her own transfiguration masterpiece—Animagus.

Looking at the little cat, over a meter tall, jumping around on the sofa, Ocris showed a gratified smile.

Her little sister finally succeeded!

Helen waved her little paw at Louis in a show-off manner, meowing in a cat-like voice, “Louis, big dummy, scaredy-cat, Yuumi Beam—biubiubiu, beat you up. Call me grandma, I can protect you from now on.”

“Heh heh heh.” Louis rubbed the veins on his forehead.

“Don’t be discouraged, Louis. Helen is the most outstanding genius in Transfiguration among the new generation. One day, you will surpass Helen.” Ocris said with a smile, “I think you have decent talent in Transfiguration. Your Animagus might be…”

Here, Ocris frowned. Super Witches had strong sixth senses. She firmly believed that Louis had the potential to become an Animagus, and Louis’s Animagus should be…

“Maybe a giant snake?” At this point, Ocris suddenly opened her mouth wide, and her expression became a bit strange—in that very instant, she ‘saw’ a storm raging in the sky, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, and a terrifying nine-headed giant snake coiling within the clouds.

For now, this snake only had one head. Its body was also very small. But it could already swallow a Welsh Green Dragon.

Upon hearing the word “snake,” Helen suddenly stopped jumping. She also couldn’t help but look at Louis with a strange expression—a giant snake?

“Ahem, teacher, I have no talent in Transfiguration.” Louis said, burying his head in the book and secretly wiping his cold sweat.

“That’s not true, Louis. You must have talent.” Ocris shook her head, dismissing the illusion just now—her premonitions were often wrong, and recently she had been a bit frightened by that rumor, so she must have been influenced.

But regarding Louis and Animagus, Ocris believed she probably wasn’t mistaken: “You have talent. You must be an Animagus… probably, probably a…”

“Ahem, teacher, I am not an Animagus, you must be mistaken.” Louis looked at the book in front of him, “Invisible and Untraceable,” and suddenly had a bright idea. “My talent is in Apparition.”

Now, this Apparition, although it was a profound magic that required registration with the Ministry of Magic to use,

it was always covered in the higher-year curriculum, and some excellent members of the new generation were already able to use it—for example, Lufield.

And a few Wizards who had talent in this area, even without systematic learning, had experienced things like ‘teleportation.’ So some people could learn it as soon as they were taught. And often these people who relied on talent didn’t have strong talent in multiple areas at the same time.

So Louis thought Apparition was a good shield.

Although Louis had no talent in this area, he relied entirely on techniques summarized from knowledge and experience from predecessors to reach the level of being invisible and untraceable with just a thought. But these days he had captured plenty of Dark Wizards who had talent in Apparition.

These people had told Louis a lot of things. So Louis knew how to perfectly pull off this act—at least fooling Ocris this novice was no problem.

Hearing Louis mention Apparition, Ocris became interested. After all, what she was most accomplished in was Transfiguration and Apparition!

“You two do have some foundation in Apparition. Given enough time… originally, ahem, but now with some extra tutoring, a week should be no problem.”

Ocris crossed her legs, brushed her newly permed wavy long hair, indicating how originally you two might never know when you’d learn it, but with a top student like me here, a week is no problem.

Hearing this, Louis nodded.

A week, okay, not a long time.

Ocris glanced at Louis. “I meant Helen.”

Saying this, Ocris tossed Louis a book—”How to Turn into a Little Oriole.”

“Little oriole? Louis, that suits you perfectly.” Helen proudly puffed out her little chest and looked at Louis, even letting out a couple of “chirp chirp chirp” sounds: “Louis is a cute little oriole, a little weakling, chirp chirp chirp—little kitty will beat you up with one paw.”

Louis looked at the book in front of him, his face turning ugly. He pushed the book away and said seriously, “Teacher, I’m not very good at Transfiguration. My talent is in Apparition—I even had a dream last night—”

He drew out his tone, recalling the things those Wizards had said, thinking about which one suited his situation.

“What did you dream about, Louis?” Helen was extremely curious. Ocris also blinked her eyes.

“I went to sleep in my bed last night, but when I woke up this morning, I woke up under the bed!” Louis said with a grave face, stating the classic case often encountered by talented Wizards.

The two sisters exchanged a strange look—others suddenly experienced teleportation phenomena, but this silly boy definitely just fell off the bed while sleeping in the middle of the night and thought he had talent.

And he told others about it so seriously!

“How can you sleep so soundly, falling on the floor and continuing to sleep?” As Helen spoke, thinking of Louis’s silly appearance of falling under the bed and continuing to sleep, she laid her head on the desk and laughed.

Ocris also couldn’t maintain her ladylike demeanor any longer. She turned her head away, wiping her tears as she laughed quietly.

“I said it, teacher. I don’t need a month. One week is enough for me to learn Apparition.” Louis frowned, a bit unhappy.

Seeing Louis frowning, Helen seemed to think she hadn’t offended him enough, so she added another jab.

“If you can use Apparition in a week, I’ll wash your socks every day from now on!”

“I’ll fetch your foot-washing water.” Ocris crossed her legs, a smile playing on her lips.

After saying this, the two sisters chatted among themselves, completely not taking this matter seriously.

“Heh heh.” Louis nodded, fiddled with the Crystal Ball on the table used to record the lesson, played back what was just recorded to check it, then took out his own Crystal Ball and used a Magic Spell to copy the recording into his own ball.

‘You two started it, don’t say I’m bullying you later!’ Louis thought fiercely.

These next two days, he was definitely going to make these two maids properly understand who’s in charge in this dormitory!
