"Maka, you can't go now! At least you have to wait until your arms can move..."

At the gate of Hogwarts, McGonagall was trying her best to dissuade Maka, who wanted to leave, to stay for now.

After all, they had already experienced such a fiasco together before. If the bronze eagle hadn't unexpectedly appeared to protect the two of them, the consequences would have been obvious.

In addition, it was Mag who gave emergency treatment to Maka who had a broken arm afterwards. After seeing that shocking injury, anyone would probably be worried.

Yes, even if the other party is Maka, who has been acting like "everything" in the past few years, it is the same.

"Maka...no, Mr. McClain! Although I can't really stop you if you insist on leaving, I still hope you can think about it carefully."

Maka couldn't help but pause when she heard that Professor McGonagall deliberately changed her name back to the way she was called in school.

And then, I heard Mag continue:

"Listen to me! Maybe many people now regard you as a 'savior'... Well, I have to admit that before today, I probably became one of those people unknowingly.

But when I saw you bleeding profusely, losing consciousness and falling to the ground, I finally realized again... Even though you are indeed smarter, more determined, and stronger than most people, you are still...

He’s just an ordinary person.”

"You will also fall, get injured, and of course you will die. Especially this time, Haierbo's strength has obviously exceeded your current limit. If you continue to be strong, you will really die!"

"So...Mr. McClain, please at least heal the injury completely before talking!"

To be honest, since Maka became a professor at Hogwarts, it has been a long time since Professor McGonagall spoke to him as an elder.

He stood opposite McGonagall, looking at this professor who was once very strict, but yet showed love to his students in every detail, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of nostalgia.

It has to be said that Maka was really a student loved by all the professors at Hogwarts.

Not only is he extremely outstanding in learning magic, but he is also quite mature and sensible in his behavior... Well, at least before all kinds of troubles happened, he was also a "good student" who didn't get into trouble with his teacher.

Needless to say, McGonagall, as the professor of Transfiguration, also took great care of this rather special little Hufflepuff student.

However, just like the stars in the night sky cannot be determined by their brightness, even if Maca was once low-key, gold will eventually shine.

Due to the repeated troubles of Voldemort, Grindelwald and a series of troubled people, Maka, who cherishes friendship and partners, inevitably reveals her extraordinary talent, and with his efforts, she has truly transformed into something that ordinary people cannot.

possess the strength.

When his existence became more and more difficult to trace, even the professors at Hogwarts unknowingly regarded him as a figure like Dumbledore.

In fact, among all the professors, McGonagall is one of the ones who can treat Maca with a normal mind.

It was only because during this period of time, the threat posed by Haierbo was too alarming that she, like everyone else, was involuntarily confused.

It was not until today, when Maka was so seriously injured in front of others for the first time, that Mag, who had become a little confused in recent days, finally corrected his mentality.

It's a pity that although Maka can deeply understand Professor McGonagall's love for him, and even at a certain moment, he felt the warmth of a family member from McGonagall's words. But under the current situation

, even if he himself wanted to take a rest, Haierbo would not give him that much time.

"Professor McGonagall..."

At this moment, Maka's arms were still hanging weakly on both sides of his body, and the expression on his face was still helpless. But if you look carefully, you can see that his eyes are still full of determination.

"Professor McGonagall, you said that I am 'showing off'... I have to admit, you are right. But... I have basically been trying to show off my strength all this time, and now, there is no chance for me to be discouraged. What if?

If I don’t show off, who else can show off for me?”

As he was speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile.

"Professor, you should still remember that I was very small back then. Almost everyone had to lower their head to look into my eyes and speak... Of course, Professor Flitwick is an exception!" He smiled, "But

Now, although I am still considered a small boy, you have to raise your head to look at me."

At this point, he nodded slightly and said seriously:

"Look! I've grown up, you don't have to worry anymore! Even if the consequence is death, I will take responsibility for all my decisions...Okay, I really need to go! Professor, you too

It's best to return to the Transformation immediately. Firstly, it's obviously not safe here, and secondly... Professor Sprout and the others are all worried about you!"

Maka naturally never felt this way when she said she had "grown up", but after all, she was speaking to Professor McGonagall.

In the eyes of elders, their students and children will always be what they used to be. Even though Maka behaves very differently from ordinary children, don't Mag's previous words indicate that that's what she thinks?

?

"Um……"

It is naturally not easy to convince Professor McGonagall, who has always been quite stubborn, but almost everything Maka said is a slightly "cruel" reality that people cannot help but agree with.

Now, it is impossible for Maka to retreat. The only future waiting for him is to move forward, and then move forward, that's all.

"I'm sorry, Maka...you shouldn't be responsible for these things. To be honest, this is probably the first time in my life that I feel...Albus made a decision that he shouldn't have made.

"

As soon as he said this, Mag followed Maka's suggestion and disappeared from the place, leaving only Maka standing in front of the school gate, slightly startled.

"'A decision that shouldn't be made'?" He chuckled, "Maybe! Although... this certainly can't be said to be a 'wrong decision'!"

After muttering to herself at the end, Maka glanced at the Hogwarts Castle on the other side of the school vestibule. After her eyes lingered on the bronze eagle statue on the top of the castle for a moment, she also turned around.

In a flash, he left silently.
