"Hermione, what's wrong with you? You're in such a hurry."

As soon as she got off the carriage, Maka saw Hermione and Ginny running towards her with anxious expressions.

"Maka..." Hermione didn't have time to take a breath. As soon as she came to Maka, she immediately grabbed his sleeve, "Maka, you have to go and see, Luna... Look at Luna's appearance.

Something doesn't feel right, and we can't wake her up no matter how we wake her up."

"What?"

In addition to being puzzled, he was still confused by Hermione's words, which made Maka froze on the spot. But it was obvious that he didn't have the time to think now. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately took Hermione and Ginny to the warehouse.

Rush over there.

Perhaps because they heard the conversation outside, Mr. Blois and Madame Maxime soon appeared at the door of the carriage. After looking at the backs of the three of them, they saw the two looking at each other.

, and then got off the carriage and chased after him.

…

The warehouse where Luna and the others are temporarily staying is right next to the warehouse where Maka, Lupine and the others had their meeting last night. To be honest, the environment is really not that good. After all, this place was really used as a warehouse over the years.

But this time, before Blois lent it to Maca as a temporary dormitory, he had someone clean and renovate it. The huge warehouse space was divided into several floors, and each floor was divided into many compartments with iron sheets. Again.

In addition, the original seamless stretch spell was added to expand the space and the old furniture was specially moved from elsewhere.

To be honest, although these cubicles look shabby, as a temporary dormitory prepared in a short time, they can be considered comfortable.

Last night, after Luna and Maca arrived here, they lived directly in a cubicle with Hermione, Ginny, and Hannah. Maca still remembers clearly that before he separated from Luna,

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the other party's condition.

"Squeak"

The half-open iron door was pushed open by Maka, and he immediately saw Hannah sitting on the edge of Luna's bed, looking at Luna with an expression full of worry.

"Maka, oh...you are here!"

"Um."

Maka nodded to Hannah, who then stood up and stood aside, giving up her seat next to the bed.

However, when Maka sat down next to Luna and was about to reach out her hand to inspect Luna, Hermione and others saw that his hand suddenly stopped in the way.

To confirm Luna's status now is equivalent to completely turning the other party's current situation into "fact." Once Schrödinger's box is opened, it cannot be closed easily.

But in this situation, if he doesn't even know what the problem is, how can he find a way to solve it?

"Mr. MacLean, what happened?"

Suddenly, she heard a voice of inquiry coming from the door behind her. Maka thought about it and stood up again.

"Mr. Blois, Madam Maxime, I would like to trouble you with one more thing...please check Luna's physical condition for me." He turned around, looked at the two people at the door and said seriously, "

Due to some personal reasons, I am temporarily unable to examine her."

Perhaps it was because of the repeated failed rescues that Maka became a little suspicious when faced with Luna's anomalies. However, no matter whether he was overly neurotic or not, it was always better to be cautious.

.

"Uh, of course! Now that you've opened your mouth, McClain, we definitely can't refuse."

Although he said that, seeing that Maka's expression seemed a bit unnatural, Blois and Maxim couldn't help but think more about it.

For example... did something happen to the girl on the bed who was said to be unable to wake up that even Maka couldn't determine?

However, in fact, in Maka's heart at this time, he still felt a little lucky that Mr. Blois, as a rare wizard in the modern magic world, has obtained the inheritance of ancient magic. Even though he may not be as good as Maka himself, he is still

They also have the ability to sense magic.

This alone is enough to complete the task of conducting inspections on Maka's behalf to a certain extent.

As for Madame Maxime, as the principal of a magic school with a profound foundation, her knowledge and abilities cannot be underestimated. Although...well, her body size derived from the blood of giants is indeed a bit larger. At this moment, in this

In the small cubicle, I could only lower my head and bend over, which seemed a bit tiring.

"Well……"

Maka, Hermione and three other girls were watching from the side. They heard Mr. Blois suddenly began to ponder after a brief inspection, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, in Hermione's mind, she was actually a little confused about Maka giving up on checking Luna in person. However, due to Luna's long sleep, coupled with her concern for Maka,

Trust, she could only put her confusion in her heart first.

"Boy, how's the situation?"

Seeing that Mrs. Maxim had finally retracted the wand moving above Luna's body, Maka hurriedly asked the two of them.

"Well, how should I put it?" Blois looked at Maxim and saw that he was still thinking, so he spoke first, "McLean, although I can't be completely sure yet, but... I think there is a special kind of

The disease, you should have understood based on your knowledge, is called 'Magic Imbalance Syndrome'."

When Maka heard this, she frowned immediately.

"You mean"

"Yes," Blois nodded slightly, "There are very few cases of this disease, and because some of its symptoms are similar to those of 'obscurial beings', wizards suffering from this disease were also called 'adult obscurials'

.”

Yes, Maka is aware of this disease, and there are even relevant documents in the Hogwarts library.

Moreover, he also knew that although the patient was also called an "adult Obscurus", the magic imbalance disorder was actually not closely related to the Obscurus.

The latter occurs because children with wizarding potential whose magic power is still dormant go berserk in advance when they experience excessive negative emotional stimulation; while the possibility of the former occurring is diverse.

The only thing the two have in common is probably the stimulation of magic power.

What is worth pointing out here is that wizards who normally experience magic rampage around the age of 11 and calm down smoothly under the guidance of positive emotions will usually have a stable magic power and it is difficult for them to experience unbalanced rampage again.

Because of this, cases of this so-called "magic imbalance syndrome" are very rare, and can be rare in hundreds of years.

"Is it because... of the explosion we encountered before?"

Although Maka blocked the shock wave for Luna at that time, the mist that exploded was obviously unable to block it. At this moment, this was the only possibility that Maka could think of.

only……

"Why? Why is it Luna again?"
