So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 235: Transcendent Comprehension

In response to Andy-Black's lavish praise, Janna nodded cooperatively, then quickly swept her gaze across the class of apprentices.

"It seems last year’s [Transfiguration Studies] class really extinguished everyone’s enthusiasm. The number of apprentices who registered this year is clearly less than half compared to last year."

After a full year of study, aside from Janna, only one third-year apprentice named Lane successfully cast [Partial Transfiguration] with the help of the [Synesthesia Potion].

Besides that, no one else managed to succeed in transfiguration.

This stark contrast deeply discouraged those apprentices who initially held high hopes for [Transfiguration Studies].

By the second semester, the classroom that was originally nearly full had dwindled to less than half its size, with only a few remaining committed students.

Just now, Janna had glanced over and found that most of the people attending this class were still the same group who persistently pursued [Transfiguration Studies] from last year.

Of course, there were also a few who, like Andy-Black, had just entered second year and were fascinated by the popular course of [Transfiguration Studies].

"Good morning, apprentices."

"Good morning, Professor Mag."

As class time began, Lilith-Mag, dressed in a deep purple witch’s robe with her hair neatly tied up, walked gracefully to the lectern.

"It seems many people ultimately chose to give up on this course."

Looking at the somewhat empty classroom, Lilith-Mag, who had already anticipated this outcome, merely sighed with slight regret.

"However, there are still those who continue to persevere."

As she said this, Lilith-Mag's gaze landed on Janna. In response, Janna returned a modest and appropriate smile.

"Alright, let’s get back to the main topic. This year’s course structure is slightly different from previous years. In addition to the shift from ‘Beginner Transfiguration’ to ‘Intermediate Transfiguration’, we also have a new textbook—"

As she spoke, a not-so-thick, brown hardcover book appeared on the lectern before Lilith-Mag.

"As you can see, I am the author of this textbook. If any of you find content within it that you believe needs revision or correction, feel free to inform me. I can offer corresponding compensation—Alright, everyone, open your books."

Following her words, Janna also turned to the first page of the textbook, along with Lilith-Mag.

"The foreword on the first page contains some of my reflections from the time I began exploring the field of transfiguration until now. If you’re interested, feel free to read it after class."

As someone who had already previewed the materials before the semester began, Janna had finished reading the foreword long ago.

Lilith-Mag, a master with a unique approach in the field of transfiguration, had many insights and perspectives that differed greatly from those found in the transfiguration books Janna typically read in the library.

Most believed that in order to master [Transfiguration Studies], the most crucial factor was the apprentice’s soul perception capabilities.

For those apprentices who were born with weak soul perception, it was believed that they might not even be able to grasp the basics of [Transfiguration Studies].

Lilith-Mag, however, held a different view. She believed that every apprentice could master [Transfiguration Techniques], and the key lay in the apprentice’s ability to use their [Mental Power].

These two viewpoints weren’t contradictory; they simply emphasized different aspects.

One was more objective and materialist, the other more subjective and idealist. From Janna’s perspective, she leaned more toward Lilith-Mag’s emphasis on the importance of [Mental Power] in mastering [Transfiguration Studies].

After all, although Janna’s [Perception] attribute wasn’t low, it wasn’t particularly high either.

Yet her mastery of [Transfiguration Studies] could be described as “effortless,” never encountering any real obstacles.

Janna believed this was closely related to her [Comprehension] attribute, which had already surpassed 10 points.

At present, Janna had three attributes that had broken through 10 points: [Mental Power], [Comprehension], and [Charisma].

Among them, her [Comprehension] had even surpassed the “10-point” transcendent threshold earlier than [Charisma].

Therefore, whether it was [Witchcraft] or [Transfiguration Studies], or any other course in the field of mysticism, Janna found them all especially easy to learn.

Just like the first time she learned to grow black feathers like a raven on her hand during a [Transfiguration Studies] class, Janna had only followed Lilith-Mag’s suggestion to imagine herself as “a raven who had accidentally turned into a human and was eager to return to her original form,” and she easily achieved [Partial Transfiguration].

The foreword on the first page, in addition to outlining Lilith-Mag’s philosophy on [Transfiguration Studies], also recounted many of her insights at various stages of her life regarding the field of transfiguration.

The entire foreword was narrated from a first-person perspective, written in an accessible and straightforward style—perfect for new apprentices like Janna who had only recently started studying [Transfiguration Studies].

"Everyone, turn to Chapter Five—"

As the sound of pages turning filled the room, the chapter title instantly captured everyone's attention:

Intermediate Transfiguration and the Theory of Elemental Symbiosis.

This [Transfiguration Studies] textbook written by Lilith-Mag was composed of six main chapters: Chapter One [The Five Great Laws of Gamp's Transfiguration], Chapter Two [The Power of the Mind], Chapter Three [Explanation of Partial Transfiguration], Chapter Four [Are There Limits to Transfiguration?], Chapter Five [Intermediate Transfiguration and the Theory of Elemental Symbiosis], and Chapter Six [What is Complete Transfiguration?].

Judging from the chapter titles, Janna had likely already completed the first four chapters over the course of last year. This year’s primary focus would be on Chapter Five and Chapter Six. Check latest chapters at NoveIꜰire.net

In other words, after completing this year’s coursework, Janna would be officially graduating from Lilith-Mag’s instruction.

As for more advanced [Transfiguration Studies] content, Janna suspected it would fall under confidential content, similar to [Advanced Courses].

If Janna wanted to continue further studies, she would need to go to the Dordogne-White Tower Trial—

"There are probably quite a few apprentices attending today’s class who are encountering [Transfiguration Studies] for the first time. For those individuals, I recommend postponing your studies until next year."

"This year, my course focus will be on [Intermediate Transfiguration] and [Complete Transfiguration]. These two sections are closely related to the first four chapters. If you haven’t studied those yet, sitting here will only be a waste of your time—"
