What are the rules
"Rules are the laws that everything in the world follows when moving."
In the magic world of ancient Greece, when human magic civilization was at its peak...or in other words, among the mainstream wizard groups of that era, this sentence was once regarded as the "truth" of magic research, and it was very popular for a while.
Because the person who said these words at that time was the only wizard who stood at the top of the world in the glorious background of when human wizards finally reached the top of the world - the "Andros" (in ancient Greek) who had the title of "invincible" ,man)".
Unfortunately, today, the original glory is long gone. If anyone really remembers this sentence, the only one left is the witch Kern who actually lived in that glorious century!
Yes, even Haierbo probably doesn't know.
After all, by the year he was born, the most glorious years of human wizards had already gradually come to an end with the disappearance of that invincible man.
That was also the beginning of the troubled times when the "teacher" Witch Kern, whom Haierbo had looked up to and pursued all his life, officially became "famous" because of "that incident"...
But it must be said that that sentence seems to have survived in the ruthless tide of history in some way and with great difficulty.
Perhaps only fragments are left, but it is still there.
I remember that when Maka knocked on the door knocker of Ravenclaw Tower for the first time, the bronze eagle asked him a series of questions on the pretext of opening the test of the secret chamber.
One of them asked, "What is the 'truth' among all things in the world?"
This question was naturally left by Royina Ravenclaw back then, when Maka replied, "Material drives the appearance, and the spirit deduces the rules."
In fact, Maka at that time was just bombarded by a series of inexplicable questions, and was forced to combine some knowledge of Muggle physics to give answers. Maybe even he himself didn't know what he was talking about.
But from the current point of view, regardless of whether modern Muggle science and ancient wizards' magic research actually lead to the same goal, at least Maka at that time was indeed caught up in his blind cat!
"...Magic is when the creatures in the world use their own will as the fulcrum, and use themselves containing magic as the medium, to interpret the rules of all things according to established rules. The rules themselves are not superior or inferior, but the creatures are small, individuals and There are also differences between individuals, so the known rules that can be used by living beings are gradually divided into levels based on the difficulty of control. So in fact, no matter what ability or method you use to attack me, the result will be the same —Because the difference between you and me is not material, but spiritual."
Although she had clearly withstood the baptism of innate magic from the entire team of high-level zombie masters headed by Rebes, this woman did not even change her sitting posture.
Not only that, she was even in the mood to explain the principles of magic to the group of "new humans" who attacked her, and she seemed to really want them to understand.
And in the few seconds she spoke, the Hogwarts Great Hall, which was almost mostly reduced to rubble by the attack just now, was completely restored to its original state!
"As the first batch of perfected new humans, your talents are actually quite sufficient," Kern continued, "but in terms of exploring yourself and the rules of the world, you still have great deficiencies. . This requires more time to think, research, and experience. I think you may need a more clear goal... "
Just as Witch Kern said, Rebes and other living corpses are lacking in "spirituality". This "spirit" refers not only to the strength of mental power, but also to the study and study of magical abilities.
If you just rely on the instinct given by your talent to fight, isn't it still no different from a beast? So how can we call it a "new human being"
In fact, as far as Kern's analysis for them was concerned, they basically didn't understand it...
On the contrary, Hermione and others, who had already retreated a little further away, were greatly inspired by this.
"That's right... that's right... There is actually no superiority in the rules. Even if they are artificially divided into levels one, two, and three, the difference is only in difficulty, not strength. In other words, even the most common ones like 'cooling' Compared with the second-level and third-level rule magic, the only difference between first-level rules and magic is the user's understanding and interpretation. It's just... "
Hermione in the corner was thinking this, but her face didn't show any joy at being able to further understand the rules of magic, but instead became more solemn.
Her face turned a little ugly.
Because she discovered that after realizing such a truth, the gap between their group and the witch Kern not only did not shorten, but actually became wider!
Fortunately...
"Fortunately, Maka has obviously understood this a long time ago." Hermione touched the fake wand in her sleeve and murmured in her heart.
…
"Have you already started taking action? So quickly? It seems Hermione and the others didn't delay too long. There might have been an accident inside... We have to hurry up!"
On the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Harry, who had quickly returned along the way with Maka, had not really returned to the school's front yard when he saw a large number of living corpses that should have stayed outside. Since they have already appeared on campus, doesn’t that mean—
"It's Willy. She's using magic plants to stop the swarm of living corpses from gathering." Maka, who was following along, continued.
"Yes," Harry frowned, and as he spoke, he raised his sword and started swinging it, "Drink! Well... Hermione said, Willie will be responsible for leaving an escape route outside the castle, and Miss Geofine will be responsible for assisting the left side. Protect...get out of my way! Ah..."
The last sentence was the roar caused by him angrily kicking the enemy when he had no time to return his sword, but the effect didn't seem to be very good.
"I know you're anxious, and so am I, but the more you have to be careful at times like this. You know, Hermione also needs you!" Maka helped him in time, and then So reminded.
As we get closer and closer to the relatively sparse area of trees at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there are more and more living corpses. These living corpses have obviously been strengthened to varying degrees - the influence of demonization has become more and more profound.
"Don't worry, just move forward and leave the sides and back to me," Maka said calmly as usual, "And Willie will also help - see these vines at your feet? We In fact, it is already within her control. If anything happens, she will help!"
