harry potter book of crimes

If you want to pass the test of Gryffindor's sword, what you need is not the vast sea of ​​magic, not the extraordinary wisdom, nor the ultimate skills.

As long as you have strong enough willpower, even a Muggle can still be recognized by the sword.

Take Godric Gryffindor for example. In fact, many people don't know that he was originally a half-monk wizard. As a knight, he was exposed to magic with the wizard hired by the lord's family, and he became extremely talented.

He awakened his magic power when he was about to reach adulthood, and then gradually became a wizard.

It is worth mentioning that although it is indeed rare for him to be "severely overage", for a wizard, it is a bit too late to embark on the path of magic so late.

Until he got his sword from the Goblin King, his magical power was not very outstanding.

However, precisely because of his extremely firm will and rare courage in the world, he passed the sword test in one go and became the perfect fit for the "Rage" rune.

From then on, his magical path was bright, and all the obstacles on the way were easily cleared under the point of his sword. The sharpness of the sword and the courage of an ordinary man made him the leading wizard duel master of that era.

However, although Harry also has courage similar to Gryffindor, he is not as unprecedented as the latter. If he challenges the trial of Gryffindor's sword with only his own courage, it may be difficult for him to do so.

To pass the test like Gryffindor.

Just like Gryffindor's evaluation of him, he is obviously still a little bit behind, but just "a little bit" behind. The consequences of failing the test are very serious.

But it must be said that Harry is lucky because he still has Maka by his side!

With Maka here, not only can he help him forcefully start the trial, but he can even directly protect him with the soul rules when he fails, so that he can avoid excessive punishment.

Not only that, Maka also came up with a way to effectively exercise his willpower in order to allow him to pass the test.

You must know that although strong courage is an effective way to improve willpower and endurance, since Harry cannot fully meet the standards in terms of courage, then trying to find other ways to improve willpower becomes another solution.

approach to the problem.

So, Maka thought of a way.

"Harry, come on, dinner is here."

When Maka opened the door and walked in with the food, you could see that Harry was staring at the rune carved on the wall without moving. From the time Maka gave him lunch at noon until now, he seemed to have been sitting still.

The posture has not changed.

Seeing this, Maka immediately raised his hand and waved lightly towards the wall, temporarily erasing the "arrogance" rune he had carved himself, and then reminded him again:

"Harry, okay, let's have something to eat first!"

Without the runes, Harry finally broke out of his daze, and then he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

This is a training method specially designed by Maka to improve his willpower. By resisting the powerful temptation of "arrogance", he can gain a strong enough spiritual will, and this can obviously also be used on the Sword of Gryffindor.

in the midst of the test.

"Maka?"

Harry looked very tired when he came back to his senses, because although the "arrogance" rune was made by Maka, except that it was not life-threatening, it was still very difficult.

"Oh...Is it night again? I didn't even notice."

He rubbed his face and took a short rest, then walked heavily to the table with dinner and sat down.

"Maka, how is everyone doing? I'm not too far behind, am I?"

While eating in a hurry, Harry asked casually. Although it was difficult to compare what he did with other friends, he believed that Maka could still give him a more accurate answer.

"Well, Hermione seems to have some clues," Maka sat aside and thought for a while, "As for whether you are lagging behind...I think not,"

As he was speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't help but add:

"Oh, by the way! I think Ron's progress should be considered greater among all the people."

"That sounds really good," Harry said immediately after hearing this. "When you go back out and see him with your own eyes, you will believe that I am right."

"Ron?" After hearing this, Harry couldn't help but stop the fork in his hand and nodded clearly, "I'm really happy for him. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

After saying that, he hurriedly took the food on the plate into his mouth, ate it with big mouthfuls, and quickly finished the lunch which did not appear to be very rich.

"Maka, you can continue!"

Harry pointed to the wall where Maka had just erased the runes, indicating that he could start training again.

"Don't be so anxious," Maka waved her hand at him and said, "Take a rest. I know you feel good today, but no matter how smooth it is, you still need to rest. Everyone is resting now!"

After sitting with Harry in the room for a while and chatting casually, Maka carved "arrogance" on the wall again.

In an instant, an invisible force permeated the entire room just as it had at first. The negative impact that directly targeted the soul immediately made Harry freeze.

Soon, he fell into an invisible confrontation again, just like the state he saw when Maka came in just now, falling into silence without moving at all.

And from time to time, Maka saw a bit of struggle in Harry's eyes, which showed that he was far from completely able to withstand the impact of the "arrogance" rule.

"Come on!"

Maka finally smiled at him and encouraged him secretly in her heart, then picked up the tray and walked towards the door.

"But it looks like it will take some time."

…

While Maca had a conversation with Delphi and went to Harry's place to deliver dinner, Hermione was in her room thinking about what she had learned during the day.

At the same time, Luna was sitting on the bed not far away, wondering what she was thinking.

Speaking of which, she was the one who guessed Maka's plan to leave this time entirely on her own. Even Delphi, if she didn't know more about Maka than others, might not have realized it so early.

the other person’s thoughts.

At the moment, Luna is actually still thinking about the possibility of Maka leaving without saying goodbye, and naturally feels a little worried.

Yes, the emotion of "worry" is rare in Luna.
