The Sword of Gryffindor can only be obtained and used by wizards who truly possess the qualities of Godric Gryffindor - this is the secret passed down from generation to generation by the successive headmasters of Hogwarts.
However, through a series of passive or active related experiences and research, Maka has discovered that this magical sword, which is said to have been forged by Gryffindor personally to the goblin kingdom and commissioned by the goblin king, is actually actually But it was definitely not made by goblins.
Yes, regardless of the skillful craftsmen of the goblin clan's ancestors, at least it cannot be the handiwork of the goblin king Legnac I - after all, the age alone does not match.
However, compared to other disaster props with more mysterious origins, the Sword of Gryffindor, which contains the sin of "wrath", is the one with the most records and the most traceable one.
Obviously, Maka has always wanted to know, what is the origin of these surprisingly powerful, yet extremely harmful sources of disaster
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Haierbo seemed to have accidentally revealed the "real name" of the Gryffindor sword for the first time.
"The 'Sword of Recklessness'... is not the sword of courage, but the sword of 'recklessness'? Sure enough, these things that cause disasters don't have any good names at all!"
Maka pressed Harry's shoulders and whispered in her heart, and then said in the latter's ear:
"It's time to begin! Remember what I said before - put aside all inner shackles, don't be fooled by any appearance, and face your anger. Remember what I said... As long as you have full confidence in yourself, So sometimes, being reckless is not a bad thing. But the premise is that you have to know what you are doing... "
Just as Maka was giving some advice, Harry, who was standing with his hands on the sword, felt a familiar pulling sensation coming from the sword. Then, he felt his eyes go dark. When he "opened" his eyes again, he found that although everything around him had not changed much, the whole world seemed to be frozen at the moment he opened his eyes.
Yes, even Maka behind him is no exception!
That's right, he had actually encountered this situation before, when he first tried to challenge the Sword of Gryffindor. But at that time, he was just alone in the Room of Requirement, so it wasn't so obvious.
And he still remembered that Godric Gryffindor also appeared in front of him later, but he didn't seem to show up today.
As Gryffindor's will said last time, he probably has not disappeared now, but has to stay asleep due to lack of energy in order to wait until the real heir appears.
And this time, the reason why Gryffindor's shadow did not wake up due to Harry's arrival is naturally because Harry did not come in completely in the conventional way this time - if there was no Maca on the side to follow the dual soul rules, The power assisted him to "smuggle in", and it would be at least several years before he could come in again to challenge the sword.
"... Mr. Gryffindor?"
Harry called out tentatively, but after waiting for a moment, he found that no one responded.
But at the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him—the messy hair, the bright green eyes, and even the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead were clearly visible.
Harry, who had already experienced it once, knew that what he needed to defeat was himself.
"You're here again."
Just as Harry was waiting, the other man across from him spoke.
"Why do you want to make this pointless attempt? You clearly know the result - you're not ready yet, are you?"
The "Harry Potter" opposite him was no different from himself. If there is any difference, it may be the other party's attitude of not hiding his own weaknesses at all.
Facing himself opposite, Harry felt as if he was looking into a mirror that could only tell the truth, exposing everything in his heart with every word.
"I'm not ready yet... Yes, maybe that's right." Harry pursed his lips and then said slowly, "But there are too many surprises in this world, and it's impossible to leave everything for me. Give enough preparation time to deal with it. If you have to be prepared before doing anything, I think I will only accomplish nothing in my life, right?"
Harry's words were indeed very beautiful, but the other person opposite him didn't seem to care much about the "original body" rhetoric.
I saw the other party staring straight at this side. After a slight pause, he shook his head and said:
"Everyone can tell the truth, but... do you really think so in your heart? But don't forget, I am you - I know what you are thinking! Harry Potter, don't deceive yourself! If you leave After Maka, do you still dare to say that you have the confidence to face this challenge in your current state?"
The answer was "no". Harry actually understood that he did not have the confidence yet. Otherwise, given his character, he would have already started studying how to start the second challenge in advance.
but…
"This is no longer a question of 'do you have self-confidence'," Harry said through gritted back teeth, "Nowadays, Haierbo is still wreaking havoc outside, and we don't even know how far he has achieved it... And here. At the same time, even Maka was seriously injured not long ago and has lost all her strength."
Having said this, he couldn't help but gradually raise his voice and said loudly:
"Maka needs help! He said he needs help himself - if nothing else, based on this alone, I am willing to use everything I have in exchange for a power that is enough to help him! So, it's not 'yes' There is no 'confidence', but I have to have 'confidence'!"
After saying this, Harry suddenly grasped the sword under his palm, stretched it forward and pointed at the opponent.
"You are me, so you should know that now I am very angry - I hate that I can't even control a sword. I am angry that I never have the power to protect everyone and the world like Maka!"
However, the one across from him just looked at this side quietly, still unmoved.
"Being angry with yourself... How can this kind of useless anger be used to control the sword of Gryffindor? Think about it! It will never recognize a false and weak will like yours - admit it! You are a weakling."
"you-"
Harry was aroused by the other party's words, and suddenly he was about to rush towards the other side with his sword in hand. But before he could lift his feet, the palm of Maka's hand on his shoulder clasped his shoulder tightly.
