After a simple process of elimination, Jia Na's current situation is only suitable for the fourth method.
After all, the ability to indirectly master flight using Deformation Art is also within the scope of the fourth method.
However, while this method might be simple for Jia Na, in the eyes of other apprentices, its difficulty could even rank first.
"Myriad Transformations!"
After the incantation was recited, two slender, light green tentacles slowly grew from the middle of Jia Na's forehead, and her originally clear black and white eyes were gradually dyed black, but in less than an instant, Jia Na returned to her original appearance.
"It failed..."
In less than two seconds, Jia Na, feeling a large amount of magic power draining from her body, had to stop the transformation.
"Could it be that the direction of simulation must also be a characteristic that matches the main body's attributes?"
Rethinking Grace-Eva's words, Jia Na's brows couldn't help but furrow together.
"Professor Grace said that if you want to alleviate the problem of rapid magic power loss, you can choose an object with the same attribute for simulation in the early stage of transformation."
"However, the failure to simulate the Thorn Flower Fairy's insect characteristics shows that I didn't truly understand Professor Grace's words."
"Could it be that I can only simulate the Thorn Flower Fairy's plant characteristics?"
Thinking of this, Jia Na's face couldn't help but sink.
"Myriad Transformations!"
The incantation was cast again, and Jia Na's legs were gradually wrapped by a huge dark pink flower bud. A heavy sense of restraint came from her legs as Jia Na's transformation succeeded.
"The magic power consumption has indeed decreased a lot... It seems this green-level task will end in failure."
Releasing the lower body flower bud transformation, Jia Na refocused her mental power into her pupils, observing the butterfly wings behind the Thorn Flower Fairy.
"Although the Thorn Flower Fairy has insect characteristics, her bloodline is that of an extremely pure plant elemental spirit. Logically speaking, even if insect characteristics appear, they belong to plant-like mutations..."
Reluctant, Jia Na continued to force herself to examine the Thorn Flower Fairy's body structure. After multiple rounds of observation, Jia Na, who had been in a state of high mental concentration for a long time, suddenly had an idea.
"Just as I suspected, whether it's the insect compound eyes or the butterfly wings on her back, for the Thorn Flower Fairy, they are indeed mutated extensions of a plant Life form... Their essence, in the final analysis, is still a plant elemental Life."
And the reason Jia Na failed when simulating the antennae and compound eyes just now was because, during the psychological suggestion, Jia Na subconsciously shifted the simulation target to a "butterfly form" Life transformation, which was not a simulation of the Thorn Flower Fairy's transformation.
"The antennae and compound eyes, which represent sensory abilities, are actually plant photoreceptor cells simulating insect Life. And the butterfly wings, which possess flight ability, are actually leaves extended from the flower bud... In that case, the Thorn Flower Fairy, who has mastered insect Life forms, is actually a master of both Metamorphosis and Transformation Studies in practice."
Whoosh—
Taking a deep breath, Jia Na, who had cleared her thoughts, slowly closed her eyes. While chanting the incantation, Jia Na continuously deepened her psychological suggestion to herself.
"Myriad Transformations!"
At this moment, Jia Na, having completed the incantation, felt as if she was experiencing the entire process of the Thorn Flower Fairy evolving from plant characteristics to an insect form.
As the Level 19 Local Deformation ability took effect, four leaf-shaped wings directly pierced through Jia Na's wizard robe and extended from her back.
Immediately after, the leaves transformed. Under Jia Na's intentional control, the four emerald green fan-shaped leaves gradually enlarged, covered with fine scales and clear patterns. Within a few breaths, a pair of gradient-colored butterfly wings, green with hints of jade, slowly unfolded behind Jia Na.
"Flap—"
Looking at the emerald green butterfly wings unconsciously flapping behind her, Jia Na, who had repeatedly experienced transformation failures, finally revealed a satisfied smile.
"It finally succeeded!"
Flap—
Although the dorm room was small, the ceiling was quite high. Jia Na, trying to fly for the first time, wasn't in a hurry to break out of the window. Instead, she flapped her wings slowly and at a high frequency along the dorm room ceiling.
"Indeed, in the early stage of transformation, as long as the magic power attributes resonate, the rate of magic power consumption within the body will significantly decrease... Based on the current level of magic power consumption, maintaining the Deformation Art for about half an hour should not be a problem."
Of course, this time is based on Jia Na's current magic power level as only a First-Level Wizard Apprentice. If she breaks through to a Second-Level Apprentice, this time will be further extended.
"Task Panel."
【Today's Task: Master a Flight-Type Witchcraft (Completed);
Task Reward: Talent Experience 300 points, Skill Experience 800 points, Charm +0.3】
"The character points added as a reward for this green-level task are actually Charm..."

Luck: 7.5】
Seeing the Charm attribute on the character panel, which had reached a value of 9.9, the emotions in Jia Na's eyes couldn't help but become complicated...
【10 points】 has always been the dividing line between mortals and the extraordinary.
Whether it was the initial mental power used to measure Wizard Talent, or the Comprehension that broke through to 【10 points】 a few months ago, both made Jia Na clearly feel the difference between the two states.
Taking the 【Comprehension】 attribute as an example, when it was below 10 points, Jia Na could quickly get started in both apprentice courses and Witchcraft learning within a short time.
Even for difficult courses like "Mithris Language" and "Contract Studies," Jia Na made considerable learning progress in less than a week.
And after Comprehension broke through 10 points, Jia Na's already very clear brain felt as if it had been washed again. Not only did her Comprehension ability greatly improve, but she could also quickly capture details that were difficult for ordinary people to notice.
Furthermore, courses that originally took a week to complete could now even be quickly learned in just one morning or a few hours.
Just like Professor Lilith-McGonagall's Transformation Class, which was claimed to be one of the most difficult introductory courses in Mysticism, it was still extremely easy to complete the introductory learning when faced with Jia Na's already extraordinary 【Comprehension】.
"Breaking through 10 points in the Charm attribute will inevitably lead to some kind of extraordinary change. The definition of this change is more like an extraordinary attribute defined in the field of Mysticism. Among the extraordinary creatures that can be referenced, the most famous is the Abyss Succubus, known for its Extraordinary Charm..."
