Chapter 58. Dekan Abandons His Humanity

My expression was slightly puzzled.

“What do you mean?”

The Cat Teacher didn't explain, but raised its front paw, and a card appeared on its paw pad.

I took the card and looked at it.

【Transfiguration: Elf Cat】

【Category: Spell Card】

【Grade: Purple Rare】

【Rank: 2】

【Effect: After use, you can transform into an elf cat, continuously consuming mana. You cannot use transfiguration again within 24 hours after canceling the transformation.】

【Remark: Meow meow meow!】

“You can turn into a cat yourself, meow! I want to trade this card for a permanent supply of your potion, meow!”

“It’s a pity this card can’t be used to transform enemies.”

I handed the card back with some disappointment.

“You can’t use the kind of transfiguration that forcibly transforms enemies yet! And this card can only be made with the Elven language! You can’t buy it on the market, meow!”

“Mmm.”

I hesitated.

Although it seemed like a good deal, in the long run, I didn’t know how many gold coins this cat would eat up.

“I can tell you, meow, that no elf cat in this school would dare to let that girl named Cornelia touch them. Even the strongest of us, me, would be scared to death by her! If you want to help her fulfill her dream, just turn into a cat yourself!”

“...Alright then.”

Thinking about it, this card would also be an excellent means of disguise.

After all, it was a card that couldn't be bought on the market.

Even if I had to spend hundreds or thousands of gold coins on this stupid cat in the future, I would accept it.

I even got a cat out of it, not a loss.

I took the Cat Teacher into the dormitory, then went to the workshop and prepared a bowl of diluted cat-luring potion for it.

I placed the bowl on the ground.

The Cat Teacher soon began to happily lick this new type of drink.

After settling the cat, I prepared to try out my new card.

The moment I activated 【Transfiguration: Elf Cat】, I only felt my line of sight lower, and my body become much lighter.

Soon, I found myself standing on the ground with four flexible legs.

I looked in the mirror and found that I had turned into a light gray cat.

“I really turned into a cat, meow!”

I exclaimed in surprise.

And my speech tic had also undergone an irreversible change.

“See, I wouldn’t sell this card for a thousand gold coins, meow.”

The Cat Teacher raised its head and glanced at me, the cat.

Hmm, pretty good-looking.

Me the Cat: “Alright, you can come to me for food and drink anytime in the future, meow.”

Cat Teacher: “Not bad, you’re still a loyal and honest student, not quite like the rumors outside, meow.”

Me the Cat: “Of course, I’m a really good person, meow.”

Just as the two of us cats were chatting.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door of my dormitory.

It seemed that Mi’e had arrived.

I was about to cancel the transformation when I suddenly had an idea. I could test whether my identity would be recognized in this state.

After all, the color scheme was quite similar to my original body.

I leaped high and unlocked the door.

Mi’e pushed the door open, her eyes sweeping across the living room with some surprise, only to see two cats.

“Dekan actually has cats… no wait, are you the Cat Teacher from the Mage Academy?”

Mi’e looked at the Cat Teacher and asked.

“Yes, meow!”

“Excuse me, where is Dekan?”

“Wait a minute, meow! Why would a girl come to this kid’s dorm so late at night? Are you two going to do something… ?!”

I, the cat, crawled over to the Cat Teacher and patted its head.

“What are you thinking, meow! We arranged to study together.”

“Study? Do you take me for a fool? A boy and a girl studying alone in a room in the middle of the night, meow?”

“That’s really what’s happening, meow.”

As the two cats conversed in human language.

Mi’e looked at the light gray elf cat with some surprise.

“Are you Dekan?”

Mi’e asked.

Me the Cat: “What do you think, meow? Isn’t it a brilliant disguise?”

Mi’e: “That’s great. Now it will be very convenient for you to enter and exit my dorm even in the middle of the night.”

Cat Teacher: “What?! You two go back and forth? Don’t tell me you go to her dorm to study too?”

Dekan & Mi’e: “That’s right.”

After saying that, I canceled the transformation and turned back into a human.

Then I eagerly led Mi’e into the card-making workshop.

Leaving the stunned Cat Teacher in the living room.

So for the whole night, the curious Cat Teacher would occasionally press its ear against the door of the card-making workshop to listen to the sounds inside, and would also sniff at the crack of the door to see if there were any strange smells in the workshop.

“Meow? Strange, are they really studying?”

...

On Monday, I arrived at the classroom early.

I didn't have to wait long before Cornelia arrived.

Me: “New.”

Co: “What?”

Me: “Heal, pain, risk.”

Co: “Wel.”

Cornelia also very much approved of having a reliable healer in the team.

No matter what his specific role would be.

So we agreed to go find Cloix together after class.

Hearing that a new teammate was joining, Cornelia seemed much more energetic throughout the entire arithmetic class.

She was quite expectant.

Someone I approved of must also be a very good person.

Before the class was even over, the two of us hurriedly raised our hands to be excused and left the classroom together.

This made many classmates suspect that we were going to rob something.

I had already inquired about Cloix’s class schedule from the Cat Teacher.

So I knew where to find him at this time.

When the two of us arrived at the Mage Academy building, class had just ended a short while ago, so we should be able to run into Cloix.

However, when we found the target classroom, we saw several students gathered at the door.

It seemed they were just passing by and watching the excitement.

“Excuse me, what’s going on?”

I patted the shoulder of a third-year student from the Mage Academy at the door.

The person didn't turn their head, still seriously observing the situation in the classroom, and said, “Watching the drama. Young Master Frata is causing trouble for Cloix again.”

“Oh? Could you elaborate?”

“From the beginning of the school year until now, Young Master Frata has caused trouble for Cloix several times.”

“Why does he want to give Cloix a hard time?”

“It’s said that it’s because Cloix seriously injured the eldest daughter of Marquis Prinn in a Shadow World last year, and Young Master Frata likes Marquis Prinn’s second daughter, Claire. Claire always speaks ill of Cloix, so Young Master Frata always tries to please Claire by causing trouble for Cloix.”

This third-year Mage Academy student’s use of “Young Master” for Frata didn't seem to be out of respect, but rather with a rather mocking tone.

“This guy named Frata is really pathetic, having to resort to such means to chase a girl.”

“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense. His family is powerful and influential, and he himself is not weak. Don’t go provoking him.”

The third-year student who had been focused on watching the drama finally turned his head. He wanted to see who was so bold as to mock Frata.

However, when he turned around, he saw a boy and a girl in red school uniforms standing behind him.

“F*ck, Dekan!”
