As a professor and as a principal, how could you leave students in trouble in the corridor and ignore them? Even if there is an emergency now... No, precisely because there is an emergency now, we can't just let the students lie on the ground like this, right
Snape's guess was correct. The little wizards who had been hit by the binding spell had all been collectively transferred to a classroom not far away by McGonagall. Moreover, she was still trying her best to find a solution for them.
What exactly controls these students? Why was there such a large-scale change on the Change, but she was unaware of it
Obviously, Minerva McGonagall is a well-known witch in the modern magic world, and her strength is not limited to the magical discipline of Transfiguration.
"Spirit... oh no, is it soul magic?"
At this moment, in a certain classroom, the students who were lying in a mess on the aisle have been neatly placed on the carpeted floor by Mag. Mag himself was squatting next to one of the students, checking through some detection magic.
Moreover, she had obviously already reached a conclusion similar to Snape's based on the results of some examinations.
However, this conclusion is actually not good news for them.
"This is such a terrible development!"
Needless to say, although Mag also had some knowledge of ancient soul magic, it was limited to this. This unique and mysterious magic has only been recorded sparsely in a very few unearthed ancient books, and these are more superficial descriptions than theoretical analyses.
With only some superficial and incomplete accounts known, it is obviously impossible to solve the curse for the students. It is even said that doing it randomly will not necessarily have the opposite effect.
For a moment, Mag couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Especially," she took back her wand, looked at the students in front of her with worry, and whispered to herself, "it should have happened when I tried to contact Maka, and everyone was on a ship, why did I Do you feel nothing?"
Maybe it was because she wanted to stay here to protect the students, or maybe because she hoped to figure out the whole story. Although McGonagall knew that Snape and the others were still waiting on the deck, she still chose to stay in this classroom. .
To be honest, it doesn't seem to be of much use even if she goes back now, right
And just a moment later, there was a series of sounds of opening and closing doors in the corridor outside, as if someone was checking every room in this corridor one by one.
"...Minerva? Are you nearby? And girls and boys, if there are any classmates who are still awake, please respond immediately..."
Flitwick's highly recognizable voice came, which interrupted McGonagall's thoughts, and went over to open the classroom door.
"Filius, this way!"
"Oh! Minerva, I finally found you—"
The Transformation is undoubtedly very big. Except for the main road in the middle, it branches more and more towards the back, and even has several floors up and down. In addition, for safety reasons, Mag did not choose the main passage, which made it even harder to find.
Seeing her come out on her own initiative, Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry," McGonagall said apologetically, "I found a lot of students who were affected by some kind of magic and couldn't leave for a while, so..."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Flitwick waved his hand quickly and hurried over and said, "It's just... you went to contact Maka before, did you get in touch with him?"
As Snape said, in the final analysis, the most important thing at the moment is this matter. Unfortunately, he soon saw Mag shaking his head with a sad look on his face.
"Really?" Although she hadn't said it directly, Flitwick already understood when he saw her like that, "Yes, I also saw the situation of the children... We sent some students to the deck. Oh, you did bring all those students in the hallway here."
When he went to Mag's side and glanced at the classroom behind the latter, he immediately saw the little wizards lying on the floor inside. Looking at their bodies lying motionless on the ground, Flitwick couldn't help feeling sad.
"Poor children... I hope the mental shock contained in the scream did not have an irreparable impact on them!"
However, it was Flitwick's words that immediately stunned Professor McGonagall.
"Screaming sound?" She couldn't help but frowning and said, "Wait, what screaming sound?"
"Minerva, didn't you hear?"
McGonagall's rhetorical question actually confused Flitwick.
"Shouldn't it be? That sound... must have been heard by everyone on the Change - well, although it shouldn't be an actual 'sound', but some kind of magical effect on the mind... You really didn't" Did you hear that?"
If everyone hears it, although it is scary, it is not beyond everyone's understanding - some people have enough willpower not to faint and be affected, and some people have insufficient willpower and are controlled. This is also a clear situation. But when a person doesn't even "hear" the "sound" itself, then there will inevitably be some unknown things mixed into it.
In the world of magic, all unknowns will cause unpredictable obstacles to understanding and conclusions. If you still blindly follow your limited knowledge, big problems will often occur.
After all, Flitwick is a knowledgeable wizard. When faced with the unknown, he will definitely not make stupid mistakes.
But... what exactly went wrong
"Perhaps 'some people' have other plans for me?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Mag couldn't help but said this.
Obviously, the 'some people' she was referring to were the enemies hiding in the dark who had caused all the trouble before them. Although he didn't know who the other party was and whether it was Haierbo, Mag had obviously smelled some kind of conspiracy.
"Filius, I think I can't stay around the students anymore... If the other party is really planning something against me, they must not be involved again." McGonagall said to Flitwick seriously Said, "Find a way to bring them to the deck! I... Anyway, let me stay alone and think of a way."
Unlike others, in this situation, there is a high possibility that it represents danger. Knowing this, McGonagall immediately told him decisively, and then walked towards the stern of the ship without looking back. After a while, he turned a corner and left Flitwick's sight.
"This... ugh!"
Flitwick was also full of doubts at this time and sighed heavily.
