Still with a slight blush on his cheeks as the Professor motioned for him to sit down, he waited for the next instructions. As it was explained that the thing in front of them was some kind of boat and that they were going ON the water made Daichi a little nervous again. What if he lost his balance in the boat on the water and fell IN the water?

But that wasn't his main problem right now. He first needed to transfigurate a boat or coracle with sticks. He took his wand out of his wrist holster after picking a few sticks and placed them in front of them. He pointed his wand at one of the sticks in a downwards motion and circled it around while saying "Vegrandis Navis!".

A few seconds passed in which nothing happened and when the Professor had demonstrated it the stick transfigurated immediately , meaning that he had failed. Of course he wasn't even surprised by this because he had done some reading about his wand type because he was always annoyed that he couldn't do spells at the first try when even younger students could do it. He had found out that his phoenix feather wand was one of the most powerful wands yet at the same time the hardest to handle. Which could mean why he usually failed. Eventhough he was honored that such a wand had chosen him, he was also annoyed by it.

But that did not mean he would give up so easily. It meant that he needed to try even harder and even Professor Lafay had told him once that he just needed to concentrate better. So he re pointed his phoenix wand at the stick below him and circled it around while saying the incantation with the utmost concentration. But again, nothing happened.

Powerful wand or not, this was stupid! The slytherin couldn't help but pout his lips as he looked around at the other students. Hearing Kurumi having difficulty pronouncing the incantation wrong due to her accent made him chuckle though.

He was going to try one last time, if it still didn't work he would just ask if he could use the boat thingy the Professor had made~ "Vegrandis Navis!" He said confidently and again with concentration written on his face. His eyes widened a bit when the stick moved and began to transfigure. It expanded , became a little hollow aaaaaaand....

It went back to being a normal stick.

He stared at it for a few seconds and nodded his head. "Professor, can i use your boat please? mine doesn't work" he pointed to his stick with a blank expression as he watched how the woman transfigurated a plastic tub out of the grass like "woah"
