Many people or things will always be passed around by people as time goes by, and then gradually change their taste. What was originally good may become even better, and what was originally bad may become even worse. It seems that it has always been human nature to exaggerate things.
Just like the four founders of Hogwarts, some people call them unprecedented powerful wizards, while others regard them as gods.
This is true even in the magical world that does not believe in gods, let alone for ordinary Muggles.
However, the four of them were actually just outstanding wizards and wizards of that era. Fundamentally speaking, they were still ordinary people.
And as long as ordinary people are bound to make mistakes, no one is immune to this.
Maka will make mistakes, so he once held Luna who was seriously injured and unconscious in a daze; Dumbledore will make mistakes, so he has been feeling extremely guilty for his lost sister for almost his whole life; and Rowena Ravenclaw , of course she would make mistakes, which is why she ended up with the sad ending of committing suicide in an almost unknown situation.
Maka didn't want to make another mistake.
Because he understands better that if he makes a mistake, he may not be the only one who enjoys the bitter consequences - it would be too painful to involve other people around him in his mistakes.
"Royner, I have to say that although the Sorting Hat did 'choose the wrong person', 'making the wrong choice' may be a barely acceptable choice. I am no longer the 'optional person' in your plan. But in order to let the people I love and the people who love me live a good life... I decided to take over this mess from you."
"No, you can't do it. You don't even know what's in it..."
"Then can I just open it and have a look?" Maka glanced at the stone box on the ground and chuckled, "You know, as long as I can still move, I will open it sooner or later - otherwise You wouldn't have given me those two 'interesting' options to choose from, would you?"
Rowena, who was interrupted by him, stared at him closely, shook his head and said:
"You simply don't understand that as soon as you open it, everything will be too late."
"Oh no, believe me, I understand." Maka was still smiling, smiling very calmly, "Actually, I have been thinking about something that can cause harm to people as soon as they open this box. The impact of redemption…”
Saying this, Maka suddenly nodded slightly to Rowena opposite and made an inexplicable gesture.
"To be honest, I am quite convinced of your ability - if even you can be 'tricked', then I will probably inevitably fall into 'its' trap as well. No matter how much preparation I make in advance, it will not help. .”
"Yes, no one can avoid it." Rowena said, "Even Haierbo is the same. That's why I sealed it in this stone box and asked Helga to hide it where Haierbo doesn't know. place."
"Well," Maka nodded, but suddenly said with deep meaning, "I think this should be called 'burying laziness with diligence'! Isn't it?"
"you… "
Hearing Maka's words, Rowena, who had only frowned from the beginning, finally showed her biggest expression change so far.
Suddenly, she stared at Maka and said very seriously:
"Sure enough... you are so smart."
"Thank you for the compliment," Maka said with a wry smile and shook her head, "It seems that you are determined to keep me here this time, right?"
"Because I don't want there to be another more 'dangerous' existence than Haierbo in the world," Rowena said seriously, "If you also see the contents of this box, the world will never be peaceful again... Then our The future generations are so pitiful.”
Seeing that she said such an exaggerated statement, Maka didn't mean to question it at all. He just sighed slightly and said:
"Maybe! In other words, I think there is a high possibility that your speculation will eventually come true - but I have an alternative solution here. Do you want to listen to it?"
However, Maka, who tried to find someone to share it with, did not get a chance to speak. Rowena shook her head firmly and said:
"There is no solution... The power of rules is absolute. And even if there are, you must first have the ability to resist the rules before you have a chance to implement them. And as I said-"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but repeat:
"The power of rules is absolute."
Maybe Rowena didn't want to let this matter get into trouble anymore. After she finished saying this, Maka suddenly felt tense all over. Immediately afterwards, he discovered that all the magic power in the stone hall was gathering towards him, and the powerful force made him almost breathless.
"Is this the level of magic that the top witches from thousands of years ago could achieve? Sure enough, the strength of a wizard who can forcibly seal Haierbo is extraordinary!"
Maka breathed a little quickly, watching Rowena walking towards her step by step, and the other person's beautiful face was getting closer and closer to her.
When the other party raised his white hand and slowly touched his forehead, he could even clearly feel the elasticity of real skin touching each other.
And the amazing fluctuations of magic power contained in it.
"I said... are all the wizards of your time as stubborn as you and Gryffindor?"
Before he finished speaking, a burst of light suddenly erupted from various locations on the floor, and cards appeared out of thin air. And at the next moment, the magic in the hall, including the illusion and Rowena itself, turned into a torrent of magic and was dispersed outside the hall.
The illusion that was so clear just now and seemed like reality suddenly dissipated, and the dark, severely weathered hall was revealed again in front of Maka.
Except for the square stone box on the ground and Maka himself, everything else returned to its original appearance.
Oh, by the way, there are also the scattered rune cards now, reminding him that the scenes just now were by no means a simple dream.
Maka stood there and raised his hand to touch his forehead. The touch of Rowena's gentle finger still remained, which made him sigh.
"Sorry, I still have things to do, I can't just die here!"
After saying this, he silently picked up the stone box on the ground and took it back, and then walked out of the stone hall step by step with inexplicably heavy steps.
"Chi... bang!"
Not long after, the equally heavy stone door was closed by him from the outside, sealing the stone hall that had existed for a thousand years... or even longer.
No one except him will probably know what happened just now.
