Paper wizard? No, thanks!

Soisen woke up at the turn of three hours and had to reorient himself for a moment, before remembering what happened. He looked at the palm where he cut himself and saw that the wound was gone.

-Well, I'm still alive, so it looks like I wasn't too far wrong," he laughed at himself.

He got up and after making sure his legs were not weak, he left the potions preparation room and walked to a full-length mirror he had in another room and took off most of his clothes.

-No obvious mutations, extra horns or even a second head or tail," he sighed in relief as he saw that he looked the same as before, "Let's test the results.

Pulling out the same knife he cut himself with, he pointed it at his forearm and struck decisively.

CLANK!

A metallic sound rang out and Soisen opened his eyes to confirm the result. Instead of the bleeding wound he should have, he saw how his skin had darkened and hardened, stopping the attack completely.

-Nanomachines, son," Soisen said in a strange voice.

This was the result of his latest research. Wizards could brag all they wanted, but it was a fact that if they couldn't cast magic in time, they were no different from Muggles. Even though he was "armed" all the time because he didn't have the need for a wand to use magic, you never knew when he might suffer a sneak attack that he couldn't react to.

So, Soisen thought it was urgent to correct this loophole as soon as possible. Drawing inspiration from things like One Piece's Armored Haki, Naruto's Black Zetsu, Metal Gear's Senator Armstrong and Marvel's Venom along with all his knowledge of magic, he designed a unique potion for himself.

Of course, the potion had severe limitations.

For example, he couldn't cover himself like a symbiote suit or pull tentacles out of his body. The most he would mainly achieve with the potion was a substantial increase in his physique, better regeneration in case he was injured to increase his survival and lastly, the defensive ability he had just tested.

Right now, he could only defend himself unconsciously and his self control was non-existent, but once he practiced and became familiar with his new physique, he could assume a form similar to Vergo's with his entire body imbued with busoshoku haki.

The price for this improvement was a five kilogram increase in his weight permanently and a large increase in his appetite should his new regenerative factor come into play, which was understandable, as it was to replenish the nutrients invested in the process.

-I still don't know if there are any other effects, but at least I got the results I wanted," he thought as he went back to getting dressed now calmer, "Have the clothes gotten any smaller?

He stopped and felt that something was not right. After looking at himself in the mirror again, he realized what was happening.

-I seem to have grown a bit, probably due to the potion's stimulation of my body. I didn't think of that and now I'll need new robes to go to Hogwarts," Soisen covered his face with his hand, he was sure that when Ann and Ingta saw him, they would tell him to go on a shopping spree to get new clothes.

Despite having adjustable enchanted clothes!

-Never mind, it's nice to spend time with the family after so long. I should get to bed, tomorrow I'll talk to Nagini about battle transition magic, my intention to become an Animagus and we'll go out so I can see the store with my own eyes. I hope she already has what I asked for ready for the summer. Maybe I should also go down to the family chamber at Gringotts - he thought after suddenly feeling mentally fatigued - Mmm, I'll probably be meeting the girls this summer as well and I need to see if I can materialize my Patronus before I get on the locomotive, I'll have to organize my schedule well. I should also meet up with Snape to discuss Lupin's potion, when did I become so busy?

He rubbed his growling stomach, he didn't know how long he was unconscious, but judging by his hunger, it must have been a few hours at least. He got out of the suitcase with his clothes a little tight and went to the kitchen to check the hours.

-Mmm, four hours left until everyone gets up," he reflected as he glanced at the clock on the wall. It wasn't worth eating when there was so little time left for breakfast, so he drank a glass of water and went to bed. When she woke up, she stretched her arms and went downstairs for breakfast.

As she expected, they were all surprised by her "growth spurt" during the night and agreed to go to Diagon Alley in the afternoon. Nagini escorted Soisen to her room and heeded her master's words.

-I see," Nagini nodded after hearing everything, "Indeed, the battle transition can be useful to you, but I didn't comment on it because wizards and witches usually come into contact with it once they are old enough to learn Apparate, but they are rarely interested, because it is too much work for those with little talent, which is usually the majority," she explained, "As for your intention to become an Animagus, the truth is that I can't help you as much as you think. My condition was due to my status from birth as a Maledictus, which is fundamentally different from how an Animagus is formed, despite the apparent similarities. While I can now be considered an Animagus thanks to you, I did not go through the ritual process or take the potion in the original form. I will only be able to help you familiarize yourself with shapeshifting once you finish the whole process.

-Actually, I didn't think of that," Soisen frowned at his misunderstanding.

-How confident are you? Becoming an Animagus, more in a different form as your book says called a superior Animagus, is not simple.

-I have no doubt about it," Soisen said confidently. During his time at Beauxbatons, he studied deeply the book left behind by Frustren Galegold.

Whether it was the preparation of the modified potion, the altered song in the heart, or any other factor, he had it all perfectly memorized and understood.

In fact, the only reasons he didn't leave the potion prepared beforehand was because buying the ingredients in Diagon Alley would be cheaper, plus he'd rather have a freshly brewed potion.

Granted, it was filthy rich, but that's no justification for throwing money away for no reason.

-And what do you have to do?

-More or less the same thing someone else would do, but following slightly stricter pauses. I have to put the mandrake leaf in my mouth, but I must at midnight and for exactly four weeks. During this time, use the altered spell on my heart three times a day precisely eight hours apart. Once the period with the mandrake leaf is over, I need to take the altered potion that must have been struck by lightning from a storm within seven minutes and take shelter under the shade of the branches of a tree.

-The time frame for taking the potion is too tight and I don't remember the last step being in the process," Nagini commented. The rest was as Soisen said, somewhat strict with the timings, but it could be done with a little care with no problems.

-"It's no problem really, we'll just look for a stormy area for you to Apparate us there and after burying the potion, we'll use a lightning rod to accelerate the strike. Then we can Apparate somewhere else, like a forest, and I'll take the potion while you keep an eye on the surroundings.

-A lightning rod? Clever, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? -Nagini asked, surprised at the convenience of the idea revealed.

-The lightning rod is a Muggle invention, draw your own conclusions.
