Maka was sure that her expression was definitely very subtle at the moment.
Seriously, is this the so-called "year of disaster" or the legendary "year of luck"? Why is it that when he is busy running for trouble all the time, people still come to him one after another to "recognize their relatives"
That's it for Delphi before. After all, it was he who had softened his heart and kept the little guy. In addition, Delphi was really kind to his "father", so having a goddaughter or something was considered a good deal.
But now, the matter of recognizing his daughter has just passed, and there is another one who wants to recognize him as his son... And what's even more amazing is that this "dad" who rushed over from the United States is actually Ifa The principal of the Magic School of Magic.
Although Ilvermorny was not founded as long ago as Hogwarts, and to some extent it is a branch of Hogwarts extending to the American continent, it can now be regarded as one of the top universities in the world. It’s school!
"...I want to know if you are my son."
So when these words came out of the other party's mouth, Maka was completely confused.
Even if he lost his father when he was very young in this life! But maybe other people can't remember things when they were young, but he was different - he clearly remembered his idiot father who looked pretty good but was such a gambler that he even put his own life on the gambling table. of!
Could it be that... his cheap mother back then calmly gave his gambler father a big hat with a unique color
"Well... don't tell me, my mother's temper is really bad!"
Thinking of this, Maka looked up and down at the principal in front of her with somewhat complicated eyes.
In fact, this was the first time that Maka observed Stewart's appearance so carefully. As the principal of a large magic school in the magic world, the other party is actually quite young. Specifically, he should be about the same age as Sirius and Lupine.
Moreover, this "young" principal's appearance is also quite good. Compared with him, Maka's appearance is obviously more ordinary.
As for Stewart's character that always seems a little too serious...
All right! In fact, just by looking at Delphi and her biological father Voldemort, you can understand that a person's temperament cannot be easily determined by blood.
So in this regard, even if Maka is nothing like him, it doesn't seem to mean anything.
To sum up... Well, Maka seems to be even less confident about her "life experience".
"Mr. Stewart, why do you think I..." Before she could finish her words, Maca suddenly shook her head and then said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now! Sir, I want to ask you to leave London with me first - It’s very dangerous here now, and if something happens to you, no one wants to see it!”
However, Stewart, who was still standing in the shadows across from him, had no intention of agreeing, so he heard him say calmly:
"The reason why I choose to stay here when everyone leaves is to create an environment where it's just you and me talking. Therefore, I won't go anywhere until I get the answer I want. of."
This guy did it on purpose!
Because she was a little "frightened" before, Maka didn't understand it for a while. But now after hearing the other party say this, he realized this.
This Stuart deliberately used his disappearance to force Maka to come back to find him. But Maka didn't say that she wouldn't discuss the issue with him after going out, right? Why did you catch this guy and not let him go
"Mr. Stewart, can't we wait until we go out to talk? If you insist on talking to me here, I can't guarantee that you can figure out something so long ago before you lose your life!"
"I can hide in the shadows," Stewart said expressionlessly after hearing this, "In this world, shadows are everywhere."
"Do you think you are invincible if you hide in the shadows?"
Maka wanted to say this, but in fact, it was not him who said this - when he was suddenly startled, Maka immediately maximized his sensing ability.
It's Haierbo!
Although the voice had changed to that of the devil, the indifferent and supercilious tone was undoubtedly that of Hai Erbo. And this means that the old guy has actually taken the devil's body
No, this is obviously unlikely.
Maka still remembered that even the mediocre Muriel could briefly control the demon's body before, but it was even different with Haierbo's mental strength. But even so, Maka, who has truly experienced the power of the devil, feels that Haierbo is still far from destroying the devil's will!
Of course, there is a contingency in everything. What if the guy really did it if he didn’t protect everything
But when Maka and Stuart both fell into silence, Haierbo's voice rang out again:
"The shadow rules... This is just a small branch derived from the combination of the two rules of 'light' and 'dark'. Not to mention that yours is not even a rule, it is just a part of the application that relies on the rules... "
"Mr. Stewart, look!"
Suddenly, Maka suddenly interrupted Haierbo's talk.
"You said you wanted a 'just you and me' conversation environment, but it's obvious that you picked the wrong place. And Haierbo—"
Just as he was talking, Maka suddenly changed the topic, and the person he was speaking to suddenly jumped to Haierbo.
"To be honest, I don't think you have the qualifications to come over and judge us now, unless..." Maka did not look for traces of Haierbo anymore, but withdrew her gaze and said rather casually, "You understand - wait Let’s talk about it after you fully control your demon body!”
Everyone could tell that Maka was testing, but he was testing blatantly. What he wanted to convey to Haierbo was simple - if you have the ability, then come out and speak with your strength; but if you haven't obtained that power yet, don't just come out and make noise.
Rather than saying anything, Maka is even guessing that the old guy most likely wants the two of them to get out of London as soon as possible, and does not want to leave Maka behind while he is focused on fighting for control of his body. Huge hidden danger."
"Oh? Do you think... I haven't fully obtained this wonderful body?"
Haierbo's tone became a little provocative, but after a rhetorical question, he said quite relaxedly:
"Since you think so, then, McClain! Why don't you give it a try yourself? Obviously, what I need now is an 'opponent' of sufficient weight."
Before he finished speaking, Haierbo slowly appeared from a short distance away and walked towards Maka and Stuart step by step.
It is indeed that strong black body, the body of a devil!
"Don't you want to talk with strength? McClain, let's do it!"
Bluffing? Or...has this guy really captured that terrifyingly powerful body? If it is the latter, then the extremely powerful body coupled with Haierbo's own magical strength cannot be described by a simple word like "terrible".
Maka tightened her grip on the staff in her hand slightly - although the previous injury on her right shoulder had almost healed, there was still some unavoidable pain.
He didn't pay attention to the small remaining pain, and stared straight at Hai Erbo who was walking slowly, without even blinking.
"I advise you not to go any further. If you take another step, I will really take action."
"Aren't you worried about your 'father'?"
Faced with Haierbo's ridicule, Maka just chuckled, and then said indifferently:
"In this world, some people are born orphans, do you understand... Well, okay, you won't understand this kind of thing."
