Oolong bade farewell to his father & mother & sister ...
Amusingly , they weren't as clingy as normal parents in his first life ...
he thought it was a thing with the DragonBall world in general ,most characters are silly & amusing , as the world was made to be a light-hearted comedy for children with some elements of action and adventure ...
Anyways , He went with the instructor to the shapeshifting academy ...
they spent a whole day travelling in the car of the instructor , who had it in a capsule ...
This was the first time Oolong saw this amazing technology , and he was fascinated ...
When they reached the Shapeshifting academy ,the instructor guided him to a dorm room ,gave him its key , and gave some instruction of what is where and so on ...
Oolong entered his dorm room ,and found it to be quite nice , even better than his parents' home ...
he found a big bed and rested on it from the tiring travel ,while excitingly thinking that he is about to learn genuine transformation magic ...
Meanwhile ,the instructor went to the Dean of the academy ,who was a dog-man , and told him the details of Oolong ...
" What !! True Innate Magic Talent !! "
the Dean shouted when he heard about Oolong ...
Magic talent matters a lot ,a practitioner of Magic may take years to learn a Magic skill...
those without talents may spend their whole life without learning one Magic skill , while those with true Innate Magic Talent can learn and master multiple magic skills in a few years ...
That's a big difference that creates a chasm between Magic practitioners ...
Also , For untalented Magic users , they need more energy to use a certain skill ....
while talented ones can unleash stronger Magic skills with less energy consumption ...
the peak they can reach is also different ,the energy that is consumed to use Magic is based on the Soul strength & Size & Purity ...
The greater the previous parameters ,the more Magic they can use ....
and , True Innate Magic Talent denote a strong & pure soul ,which is flexible & adaptable ...
" We must teach him well !! " the Dean declared !

Next Morning
Oolong went to his First class , and he was bubbling with excitement ...
when he reached there , he found a terrifying looking cthulu-like being ... who he learnt later was an octopus man , and the instructor of their class ...
the class was small , with about 20 kids at most , and strangely ,all of them were animal-type earthlings ...
the instructor began the lesson a few minutes latter :
" Transformation is a Magic art refined over thousands of years by our predecessors ,
it is separated into various levels ,the most common being [36 Heavenly Transformations] and [72 Earthly Transformations] ...
18 Transformations allows you to change your Color , Size , Gender , Shape ... it allows you to transform intobother people or species as well ...
36 Transformation allows you to transform into inanimate things , or even machines , and other complex things ...
72 Transformations allows you to change your essence temporarily ... changing the essence means gaining the Innate abilities of what you transformed to ...
Mastering Transformation Magic means you can transform into whatever you want , for however long you want ...
at that time , you may not even have a base form , and you can totally abandon your original form to take on another one permanently by transformation magic ...
but ,that will place a hidden burden on your soul , so the most comfortable form is the form you were born in ...
Transformation relies on specific magical formulas that are the base of the 72 Transformations, mastering the 72 base formulas allow you to transform into whatever you desire ...
there are other formulas that allow you to transform other people or things through injecting transformation magic into other people or things , and that can be done by touch ,or by connecting your energy to them in any way ....(imagine Harry Potter transfiguration ,and majin buu transformation beam)
Transformation is the base of all Magic, since Magic is just transforming the energy of the universe using the Soul to achieve whatever purpose you want ...
it can also be said that the interaction between the Soul and the Universe , that is what we Magic !
But be aware , because using Magic exhausts the Soul greatly , unless your soul control is great , you can't attempt it without the observation of instructors ....
that is just an introduction to transformation , and Magic in general ...
then on to our first lesson on transformation , the formula for the first transformation is ..... "
while the instructor is teaching ,Oolong is listening earnestly , getting amazed and modifying his world view ...
this class was the first lesson for him on his journey of Magic,and it greatly enlightened him ...
