Chapter 84: Professor Serpent

Chapter 84: Professor Serpent

In the first class of the new term, Felix Harp sensed the inner restlessness of the young wizards. They were all eager for the class to end so they could go to the courtyard to see the serpent creature.

He cleared his throat, capturing the attention of the young wizards, and waved his wand gently, "Wulong chūdòng." Accompanied by a cloud of black smoke, a small snake with dark spots coiled around its body landed on the lectern.

It hissed, its slender body constantly twisting.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

The young wizards looked up one by one, craning their necks to get a clearer view.

Felix's wand glided across its scales, and the appearance of the small spotted snake underwent a dramatic transformation. Its smooth scales became thick and solid, giving off a metallic sheen; its color turned a vibrant green, emitting the distinctive radiance of venomous snakes.

Even its body swelled quite a bit. It raised its flat snake head, and a pair of yellow eyes looked cold and fierce.

"Professor, is this... the serpent creature?" a student asked.

"That's right."

"So, Potter and them defeated this little fellow?"

The young wizards in the audience expressed some disappointment; it seemed too small, just about three or four feet.

Especially with the serpent creature crouched on the lectern, it seemed even more inconspicuous.

Many young wizards suddenly had a feeling of "I could handle this."

But the appearance of the serpent creature was indeed quite intimidating, especially those yellow eyes, which looked truly chilling.

Felix didn't comment on their reactions and continued to explain, "The greatest threat of serpent creatures lies in their eyes; they possess a deadly gaze. In other words, when you see them, you might have already lost the ability to fight back forever."

The murmurs in the audience quieted down.

"And furthermore—"

He waved his wand, and the small serpent creature crouched on the lectern suddenly leaped off the table, causing the young wizards in the front row to jerk their bodies backward in unison.

And as it arched in a half-circle in mid-air and landed precisely in the center of the classroom, the small serpent creature's body rapidly expanded.

In an instant, it enlarged by more than ten times. Before they could react, it had filled up more than half of the classroom's space.

"So, why aren't you writing it down?"

The other young wizards began to furiously scribble.

In the remaining class, the young wizards gradually warmed up to this somewhat eerie "Professor Serpent." The serpent professor continuously roamed the aisles on both sides, occasionally approaching inattentive students, glaring at them with its yellow eyes, and loudly exclaiming, "Don't look at me, look at your books!"

Meanwhile, Professor Harp, sitting in the corner, wore a smile on his face from start to finish, his mood seeming quite delightful.

As the class approached its end, Felix Harp stood up. He waved his wand, and amidst the reluctant expressions of the young wizards, he transformed their serpent professor back into black mist.

"For your homework today, you are to recount the contents of this manuscript on a piece of parchment, using the knowledge you've gained in your third and fourth years."

Just as the bell rang to signal the end of class, the corridor filled with the sound of bustling footsteps and chatter—these young wizards were eager to rush out and head to the courtyard. Inside the fifth-year Ancient Runes classroom, the young wizards absentmindedly packed up their belongings and left the room at a leisurely pace.

"Hey! Campbell, come on, let's go see the serpent creature!" Her friend called out to her, brimming with excitement, "I've been looking forward to this since my last Transfiguration class."

Campbell responded nonchalantly, "You go ahead."

"What about you?"

"I suddenly lost interest in the serpent creature," Campbell replied.

The young wizards walking out of the Ancient Runes classroom with her nodded in agreement. They not only had a class with the serpent creature but also received a lesson on studying Ancient Runes from it.

...

In the courtyard, quite a few young wizards had gathered, huddled together in a blurry crowd.

In the midst of the young wizards was a massive serpent creature, about forty feet long. Its body was as thick as an oak tree trunk, with scales the size of a hand's palm, giving it a rough appearance that glistened with a cold, icy green light.
