[ Chapter IV (4): "GIVE GIFT, GIVE LIFE" ]

10:31AM, Students from Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. 44 in total could be seen focused on each other's work of art, boasting, and some even taking pictures using their cameras, or still charged phone or tablet.

Powered by of course, power banks that was given to them by their parents. Only being used in cases wherein they wanted to record something, or permanently capture it in a picture, for future references.

[ CLAY GOLEM SUITABLE FOR CORE; KNIGHT GOLEM ] [ CREATOR: ANDREW TATE ]

[ CLAY GOLEM SUITABLE FOR CORE; DOG GOLEM ] [ CREATOR: ALEXANDER QUINN ]

[ CLAY GOLEM SUITABLE FOR CORE; KNIGHT GOLEM ] [ CREATOR: PRINCESS BLAKE ]

Felix Harp, the Professor of this class, with exactly 29 minutes left in the clock watches in amusement. As the Students work together to create Clay Golems, mostly Knight, but some also created small animals, or even a Wizard in the case of Ms. Mullein; the artist of Slytherin.

Not wanting this to end, but also needing to quicken his pace, as class would soon end. He clapped his hands, as he then casted a spell on it, catching the attention of the children, with them pausing to look at him.

[ "An hour and a half is up, now Students, place here in this table your own works." ] The clicking of an camera could be heard, as one of his Students took a picture of him; the original Knight and Horse duo sleeping behind his back, both tired in posing for the Students for an hour and a half.

Waving his Wand in the air, he casted a spell on each of their clay creations so that they could be gathered. Separating the core suitables one, to those who aren't, and lastly to the clays that aren't touched but hardened by time, unusables in short.

Seeing that, more than half of the class created a core suitable creation.

Felix couldn't help but widen his eyes, awe... What's happening? Who am I? Where am I? Why are these kids such great fit in such manual labor that even he isn't great at?

He couldn't help but nod his head as he sees these things, things that kept him awake in night. Easily be solved by his Students, as they did what he expected, even quadruple that expectation of his to the point that he really needs to award these children with something great.

He already has a thought in mind, but at the moment before he does grab that, he would need to make do with his previous promise. That would be, to give life to the top 6 creations.

Which in his eyes is the Wizard created by Ms. Mullein that looks keenly familiar with him. A Knight by Mr. Fischer. A... Horse? By Mr. Baker that looks proud, smug as the owner which looks cute.

A Lion created by Ms. Lang, keenly similar to her house symbol, a Gryffindor Lion; something which is wildly away from their basis which is either a Knight or a Horse.

And lastly 2 Knights, vastly different but also the same wielding either either a mace or longsword created by Ms. Watkins and Mr. Xavier that stands out compared to the rest. Both of which from Ravenclaw. [ "What a marvel..." ]

To him, that is the Top 6 that deserves reward. But in doing so would discourage the other Students who also created Core suitable creations, he didn't want them to be discouraged. So he instead twisted his word and give them something else instead.

[ "As promised, I will give life to this top 6." ] He levitated those 6 in front of him, to show to the Students. In hearing this, some of the Students did in fact get discouraged, but also happy for their classmates.

Seeing this, he then continued speaking; [ "But also, I would give life to all suitable Clay Golems that, you all created. Congratulations." ] He levitated the Clay Golems that can be used, while leaving the rest which aren't to rest at his table.

This caused some to still be discouraged, but as a consolation prize, he would give them another chance, [ "In a month there'll be another Alchemy Class, you can prove yourselves their, so, practice." ]

Purchasing about 24 Lvl. 1 Core for himself. Which cost about 100 Credits each, 100x24 that'll be 2,400 Credits. Hefty sum, especially because he only earns about 500 Credits each sessions, but he doesn't care, as he happily buys them to give life.

Life to creations that he painstakingly tried to create for days. Something which his Students easily did, with creativity may he add, as the details in them are quite exquisite. Children are truly wonderful;

[ "M-my Knight!" ] [ "The Lion is gaining life!" ] [ "Damn, I-I should have built a giant robot..." ] [ "A Wizard! A-a small one, he has a Wand, like us!" ] [ "Yes! My Horse is alive!" ]

Screams of the Students no matter what house they are in, mixed together. Even the sad John Constantine that has no gift in creativity is cheering on, as the Wizard that he helped build with his classmates— Jo, is gaining sentience, something wonderful.

The Students have been in this place for a month, they know their Professor is a powerful gifted individual.

Someone skilled in Magic, but this, to them this is something else compared to making hundreds or-so objects levitate simultaneously; something already wonderful in their eyes, but this... This is something else that others needs to see.

[ "M-mom wouldn't believe this." ] A Hufflepuff Student, Mr. Thomas Sternn, a child of a family that runs a newspaper outlet somewhere, could be seen raising his cellphone to carefully record what's going on in front of him.

Something which would be a hit if posted in a newspaper, something that could heal their dying family business. Sure, he knows that doing so would be bad, for his Professor and classmates, his second family. So he wouldn't do that.

But in the future, wherein Wizards aren't needed to hide, perhaps in that future this footage that he captures could be used. As something that he could brag about, and to show the greatness of Magic. [ "Let's go!" ]

He tries to not be hit by the tide of his cheering classmates, as he focuses the lenses of his phone's camera on the Professor which is happily humming to himself, capturing it before then moving at the clay creations that is slowly gaining color under the disbelief gazes of the crowd of Students.

This may just be, one for the history books, something that others could use whe writing their autobiography or something. Or just a fun party story when they grew up, "Yeah, my Professor can give life to inanimate objects." Wouldn't that just be a fun book title?

[ "Where am I?!" ] The confused newly given life Wizard Golem asked in confusion, as he floats about in the air. As he then noticed the Students holding weird mechanisms, giants in his eyes, point at him, and at the others floating besides him.

At the Horse that nays. At the Cat that is the same size as the Wizard, weird. At the Lion that is smaller than the Cat. At the Knights of varying sizes and designs, and finally at that weird-looking Blue Bird that is tall.

[ "By Merlin's name, where is this?!" ] Flabbergasted, he places a hand on his mouth, before then turning to look at the oldest-looking, and tallest man in the room. At the cleanly shaven, robe wearing man.

[ "Where is this, goodfellow com- a Wizard!" ] About to mistake the giant for a common commoner, he then sidetracked as he notices that giant holding a Wand— keenly familiar to the one that he is holding. A fellow Wizard! [ "Children, here's what I promised to you all." ]

But to the little Wizard's distress, the fellow Wizard doesn't seem to be bothered by the distress of his fellow Wizard, as he then levitates him. Alongside the other confused little people, or animal, to the hands of the robe wearing children in front.

The Wizard Golem finally falling under the clutches of a child giant, a girl with a weird black tablet on her other hand; as she stares at him seemingly confused, [ "Wow... He kind of looks like the Professor, doesn't he, Jo?" ]

Jo heard what one of her classmates said, and couldn't help but agree. In creating this Golem, she did thought of her Professor as the basis of it, and she couldn't help but awe in having a tiny version of her Professor in her hand. As she then squils in excitement, pointing her tablet which is recording this moment that she would proudly share to her parents.

John Constantine, the blonde haired blue-eyed boy on the sidelines, one that wasn't able to create any Golem Creations, couldn't help but stare at this small Professor. To be more precise, at the small Wand which is similar to their Wands; and the Professor's.

[ "I know he looks like the Professor, but can he do... Magic?" ] Voicing out his thoughts, it then caught the attention if some other Students nearby, causing them to be attracted and surround the table of Jo. Even those who has their separate Clay Golems; [ "I mean, can he?" ]

[ "I can!" ] The Wizard who have studied under the renowned Wizard of... He doesn't remember. Couldn't believe his ears, as he spoke up, staring accusingly at one of the Students that said that, slightly tarnishing his honor as a scholar of... Whatever.

He pulled his Wand out of it's holster, before then pointing it threateningly at the notebook under him; wanting for it to levitate, he then muttered a pretty long chant, in latin, or made-up language he knows and is pretty skilled in speaking.

[ "What's happening here?" ] The other Students, curious also gathered at the circle, and stared at the small Wizard on the table of their classmates. Their classmate— Jo, not knowing what to do, raised her arms in confusion, tablet recording everything, as small weird symbols appeared around the little Wizard Golem.

Before then finally, he spoke in a squeaky loud, threatening voice, his Wand pointed at the book; [ "Float!" ] Causing it to magically levitate, but due to the volume and number of pages the book has, it didn't float that high... Which made others disappointed.

But also in awe, as they realize they— the 44 of them plus their Professor aren't the only capable of doing Magic, to be more precise the charm that they first learnt, and loved. The Levitation Charm.

[ "Look, dad! He can do the Levitation Charm." ] Talking to the recording, Jo, even though drowned out by the voices of her classmates, spoke out loud enough for her camera to catch her live commentary at the scene of action.

[ "Moving through." ] To entertain themselves, one of their classmates, a Ravenclaw decided to connect her desk with Jo, in which she allowed. Before then other tables connect. Ultimately it then turned into a stage, a terrain wherein books, inks, quills, and gadgets are placed.

And lastly enough, one wherein the different Golem Creations are currently standing in. Seeing this from afar, Felix woke up his Knight and placed it there, followed by the Horse.

Wanting to entertain the children also. And also because he needs to clean the rest of the classroom which is dirty, due to dirt, clay, and dust that have entered the room.

So while letting the Students interact with one another, he then discretely casted the Cleaning Charm in the classroom, letting the brooms, the mop, the feather duster move on their own. [ "Damn, I'm hungry..." ]

Sitting on his chair, he let the Students continue. Letting their Clay Creations apparently fight one another, about to purchase for himself a snack, he stopped as a small boom rang at the center catching his attention. [ "What?" ]

Looking at the direction, he quickly noticed that it was caused by the Wizard, the tiny version of him, fighting a Knight. The Students seemingly chanting Wizard, or Knight repeatedly is a pretty good indicator of that.

Worried about this, he was about to cast a Protective Charm on both the Students and at the Golems. To protect them essentially from harm, his heart wouldn't allow for any to get hurt.

But before he could do so, he quickly realized that isn't necessary at all, as the Knight doesn't seem to have any scratch. Or in even though the Knight is cleaving the Wizard in half, it doesn't matter, as the Wizard reforms back to it's self after the Longsword left his head. [ "Ha..." ]

Stumbling back to his seat, Felix then realized how truly useful the System is, in his transmigration. Or in how Magic is truly fantastic, as he voices out his thought, mumbling it to himself; [ "Magic is... just that damn, useful." ]
