"It's not impossible!"
After some careful thought, Dumbledore's eyes lit up.
Normally, an Animagus can only transform into ordinary creatures, not magical beasts.
This is because magical beasts have magic and various unique innate magic within them.
This would conflict with the magic of the Wizard Bloodline itself, leading to failed transformations and eventually a complete metamorphosis into that magical beast.
Werewolves, in fact, are the lingering problem left behind when a wizard attempts to use Animagus to transform into a magical beast and fails.
However, Goku is different; the giant ape he wants to transform into is inherently him, so there's no conflict in his bloodline.
Moreover, according to Goku, he only transforms into a giant ape when he has a tail and is exposed to the full moon.
Many of the prerequisites for Animagus are related to the full moon, as the ritual requires borrowing the moon's power.
For example, holding a mandrake leaf in the mouth spans from one full moon to the next.
After a mandrake leaf is removed on a full moon, it must be placed in a small crystal vial filled with one's own saliva to absorb moonlight.
So, this is essentially changing from directly transforming by relying on the tail and full moon to transforming through Animagus magic.
One of the conditions for a successful Animagus transformation is to suppress bestiality and maintain humanity.
If Goku succeeds in transforming via Animagus, he truly might be able to maintain his rationality.
Of course, it sounds simple, but when the time comes to actually do it, there are still considerable risks.
But that's alright; he himself is the most powerful Transfiguration Master in this world, and he will improve Animagus based on Goku's situation later.
He will minimize the danger as much as possible.
If Goku can transform into a giant ape, his strength will increase tenfold, and then Dumbledore won't worry about Goku encountering trouble while searching for the Dragon Balls.
After finishing the basic magic theory of Transfiguration in the afternoon and eating dinner, Dumbledore once again brought Goku to Hagrid's hut.
However, this time it wasn't for the physical training from the morning, but for combat training.
As for the combat opponent, it certainly wasn't Dumbledore himself.
Dumbledore knew that fighting Goku himself would basically be of little help to Goku's ki training.
Because he couldn't engage in close-quarters combat with Goku; he would always be outputting magic from a distance.
The place where Goku was to undergo combat training was the entire Forbidden Forest, and his opponents were all the magical beasts that resided within the Forbidden Forest.
"Wukong, your strength is considerable, but there are many magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest that have their own abilities; don't be careless."
Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore earnestly instructed Goku.
Many dangerous magical beasts, in addition to possessing powerful bodies, also have special magical abilities.
Moreover, their magic is cast instantly, and its power is much greater than that of an average wizard's magic.
In fact, many of a wizard's spells are created by observing and studying the magic of magical beasts.
"Wukong, some of them are a bit fierce, but they're not bad at heart.
So, if possible, please try not to kill them."
Hagrid pleaded with Goku.
Goku patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Don't worry, my stomach is full tonight!"
For him, unless he was starving, he wouldn't casually hunt animals.
He entered the Forbidden Forest to temper himself, to find some formidable magical beasts to spar with, and sparring certainly required paying attention to limits.
"Take this; in about two hours, channel your ki into it, and you'll be able to return here."
Before entering the Forbidden Forest from the hut, Dumbledore took out a ball of yarn and handed it to Goku.
This was a Portkey he had just made on the fly, and its destination was set at the entrance of Hagrid's hut.
No matter how deep Goku went into the Forbidden Forest, as long as he activated the Portkey, he would be teleported back to the door of Hagrid's hut.
"I'm going in!"
Goku took the ball of yarn, and his figure flashed as he rushed into the Forbidden Forest.
After Goku's figure completely disappeared, Dumbledore asked Hagrid:
"Hagrid, I want you to learn ki magic with Goku. Are you willing?"
"Professor, I'll listen to you."
Hagrid nodded without hesitation.
He wasn't interested in combat or ki magic; he was only interested in magical beasts.
But as long as it was something Dumbledore asked him to do, he would definitely do it.
Because if it hadn't been for Dumbledore, who was then the Transfiguration Professor, protecting him back then, he would have long since been framed as the Heir of the Chamber of Secrets and sent to Azkaban.
In the Forbidden Forest, Goku advanced by leaping through the dense trees, searching for suitable targets for combat training.
As he delved deeper, he soon spotted a group of appropriate targets.
They were a group of enormous spiders, the smallest of which was the size of a normal child, and the largest even comparable to an elephant.
They had eight spider legs like sharp knives and four cold compound eyes.
At this moment, they had just hunted a group of deer and were using their webs to cocoon the deer, hanging them from thick tree trunks.
Upon discovering Goku's figure, they immediately emitted a "hissing" sound, which was the unique language of their species.
And as these sounds entered Goku's ears, he miraculously understood their conversation.
"Who is this guy? Is he human?"
"Definitely human! Looks like we're in for a treat!"
"I heard human flesh is the most delicious, but it's a shame Father never lets us eat Hagrid whenever he comes."
"It's fine, Father only said we can't eat Hagrid; other humans are fair game."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
A group of Acromantulas charged towards Goku with murderous intent.
The largest one, leading the charge, was also the fastest. Upon reaching Goku, it didn't hesitate at all, raising a sharp spider leg and stabbing downwards.
It intended to impale Goku's body directly onto its leg, then toss him into its mouth to devour him.
Such a small human wouldn't be enough for so many brothers and sisters to share; of course, it was first come, first served.
Unfortunately, its spider leg only pierced Goku's afterimage; the real Goku had already leaped above it, delivering a powerful downward kick that slammed hard onto its body.
"Hiss!"
This largest spider felt an irresistible immense force strike its back.
Its massive body involuntarily crashed heavily to the ground, its eight spider legs splayed out.
It tried to stand up again but found its eight spider legs had gone limp and couldn't support it.
"Do you want to fight? I love fighting the most!"
Having knocked down the foremost Acromantula, Goku excitedly charged into the oncoming swarm of spiders.
For a moment, Acromantulas flew everywhere.
Acromantulas are classified as XXXXX-level among magical beasts, with a threat level to wizards equivalent to that of dragons.
They possess massive bodies, terrifying speed, and considerable strength.
They can also spray webs and venom; their venom is incredibly potent and can be used to concoct highly toxic potions.
In the wizarding market, a pint of Acromantula venom can fetch one hundred Galleons.
In terms of individual strength, Acromantulas are naturally far inferior to dragons, but they are always communal, making them even more terrifying than a single dragon.
