After taking a break after lunch, the women went shopping again and bought back the ingredients for the evening. It was rare for Ivy to have time to practice the transformation technique. Now his practice materials have been changed, and he is controlling a ball of red mud above his palm.
.
After these few battles, Ivey found that he was strong, but his damage was obviously insufficient. When dealing with spiders, this situation was not obvious. After all, they are arthropods, and even if they are huge, their bodies are still very fragile.
When it comes to dealing with giant monsters, the shortcomings are particularly obvious. Basically all attacks cannot break the giant monster's defense. The reason why he can blow up the giant monster's legs is because someone buys him enough time.
It is unrealistic to expect someone to help every time, but it is not easy to change this situation. He has practiced transformation for so long, but to be honest, he still has little effect. So far, he can only use a lock-picking spell.
In terms of attack, his energy bombs can only be compressed to the size of a volleyball at most. They are enough to deal with ordinary wizards, but they are not enough to deal with those huge magical creatures. But in the early stage, he often has to deal with these guys.
If the basic attack doesn't work, then try something else. Puncture, armor breaking, and critical strike. I have experienced these online game-style routines a lot in my previous life, and I understand them quite well. I don't have a clue about armor breaking and critical strike at the moment. If it comes to puncture, he is going to give it a try.
So he changed the practice material to red clay. It is easier to shape than wood, but more difficult to grasp the details. And the manipulation method is also different. Deforming wood is essentially a magical category, but the red clay
Shaping - to put it bluntly, it means kneading with mental power to shape various things.
With Ivey's control, the mud balls are constantly changing. Sometimes they are animals, like bears, dogs, and cats, and you can't tell what they are. Sometimes they are vehicles, but you can tell them apart. After all, two wheels and four wheels are different.
There is a big difference between the two wheels. In short, no matter what it turns into, let alone lifelike, it will not even be decent.
"Forget it, we can't rush this thing. I'll wait until I get the essence and blood of the young dragon to refine the bone-hardening potion and try it again." As your body becomes stronger, your control will definitely increase as well.

In the evening, it was still the same coffee table. But Wendy was no longer there. She went back to her home to move things.
This is actually very good. After all, Ivy has to go to school. After Wendy moves here, she can be with Irene and not be alone.
"This cake is also delicious!" Hermione's face turned red after eating. She held a mousse cake and put it into her mouth bit by bit with a spoon.
"I made a lot, and I can take some with me tomorrow." Ivy motioned for her to eat slowly.
"Ivy, are all the people in Hufflepuff cooking as good as you?" Hermione ate the food and looked at him with a little admiration.
It's strange to say that Hermione is such a smart person, but she is very slow to learn chopsticks. Until now, Betty has been picking up the dishes for her.
"How is it possible? I am the only one." Regarding this, he was still very proud. "By the way, have Harry and the others written to you?" Ivy wanted to take a look at the progress of the matter.
"Forget it! I've probably forgotten all about it. Fortunately, I gave them a Christmas gift." Hermione filled her cheeks with food, and with her bulging expression and fluffy chestnut hair, she looked like a chipmunk.
Seeing her expression, Ivy was a little amused. He joked, "Speaking of gifts-Betty is so kind to you. She even gives you extra food, and I haven't seen you give her anything."
"Uh--I'll give it to you now!" Hermione said in a hurry. She raised her mouth full of red oil and said "Hey", successfully smearing Betty's face.
Betty's hand that wanted to stop him froze in mid-air. She glanced at Ivy with evil intentions, stretched out her index finger and curled it up, and "bang" her head hit Hermione's head.
"Ouch -" Hermione touched her head and looked at her pitifully
"..." Betty had nothing to do with the little girl, so she could only continue to serve her food.
It was a rare opportunity to trouble Betty, and Ivy looked like he was watching the show.
"Do you think I should write a letter to ask them?" Hermione felt that she should know the progress.
"No, I'll go back tomorrow, don't miss this one night."
"That's right"
"Don't think about chatting anymore, finish eating quickly and get ready to go to bed."

After the holidays, inside the Hogwarts dining room
"I always feel like I'm exhausted every time I see you." The few people who had returned to Hogwarts reunited in the restaurant.
The return trip was very simple. Aiwei and the others didn't take the train. Irene drove the Feitian car directly there.
As soon as I came to the dining room from the dormitory, I saw this scene.
Harry and Ron were hunched over, their chins resting on the dining table, and their hair was messy, like two frost-beaten eggplants.
"It looks like you didn't get a good rest last night." Hermione stared at the dark circles on their faces. "The bags under their eyes are drooping~"
"You don't understand-" Ron craned his neck and took a sip of water with difficulty.
"That's why I'm asking if you don't understand. Could it be that you violated the school rules again? - Tell me! How many points have been deducted from Gryffindor again!" Hermione thought for a while and her temper grew again.
"Don't be so slanderous!" Ron slapped the table and was about to stand up to confront Hermione. But as soon as he raised his buttocks, he sat down again, and all the anger in his body disappeared.
"Forget it - I don't have the energy to argue with you." He drank the juice in one gulp and cleared his throat, "Actually, it's all Harry's fault -"
"..." Harry turned his head and glanced at him
"What are you looking at! How dare you say it wasn't you!" Ron seemed unconvinced when he saw him, and he stood up and cursed.
"I told you a long time ago not to look for that broken mirror again. It's weird, but you just didn't listen. Well, we haven't slept well for two or three days!"
"What mirror? Didn't you guys go check out Nico Flamel in the restricted area?" Hermione was confused.
"The mirror is that - what is it called? Oh - the Mirror of Erised. It starts with the Christmas gift..." Ron briefly described the cause and effect.
"What! You sneaked out in the middle of the night again!"
"Hey! Are you focusing on the wrong thing?"
"What's wrong! - I asked you to look for someone, but you didn't look for someone, but you are so interested in a broken mirror!"
"We were originally looking for someone, but who knew we would come across that mirror!"
"I don't care! You two guys are not successful enough but are prone to failure."
"How dare you say that you will go back to celebrate Christmas by yourself and leave this mess to us!"
"What does it mean to throw it at you? It was originally requested by you yourself."
"What do you mean by yourselves! We are together, a gang!"
······
"These two are so energetic~" Ivy sighed as he saw Ron come to life again.
"What about you?" he asked Harry, who was still lying aside.
"I'm fine~" Still can't cheer up
"It's not okay to go on like this. We have to find ways to distract ourselves. We can't always think about sad things."
"He doesn't care about Nicolas Flamel now, what else can distract him?" Hermione seemed to have finished arguing.
"Aren't there still Quidditch games? It would be nice to play two games and relax." Ivy thought for a while.
"I hope - otherwise, I may not be able to sleep well in the future." Ron yawned.
"You won't die if you don't sleep for a few days!"
