Ravenclaw House, a college that values ​​erudition and intelligence.

When Maka first entered school and went through the sorting ceremony, this house seemed to be the first thing the Sorting Hat considered for him. This shows that he is indeed in tune with Ravenclaw in some aspects.

At this moment, after he thought about it carefully, he felt that he had to at least find someone to build a relationship with. If someone asked him in the future, he would at least have an excuse.

Well, by the way, we can also pave the way for Luna before she enters school.

If we want to talk about who Maka is most interested in in Ravenclaw House. This person is not Flitwick, the Charms Professor who is also the dean, nor any other students at the school, but Ravenclaw

The Ghost in the Tower - Lady Grey.

This is not only because she has been at Hogwarts long enough, but also because she can definitely reveal a lot of ancient secrets about Ravenclaw House.

Ms. Gray is the ghost of Ravenclaw, and her birth name is "Helena Ravenclaw", who is the biological daughter of "Rowner Ravenclaw". She stole her mother's golden diadem, but died in

She fell into the hands of Barrow, who had a crush on her. Although she committed unfilial and unjust mistakes, she was always just a simple and vain person.

If you want to get some secrets about Ravenclaw House, it is obviously more appropriate to start here.

Regarding Ravenclaw, Maka had read some records about the founder of Hogwarts from some books not long after she enrolled. To be honest, among the four founders of Hogwarts, I am afraid that

Ravenclaw and Slytherin have the highest magical achievements.

Unlike Salazar Slytherin who was more practical, Rowena Ravenclaw was a true theoretical person.

As a magic scholar, Ravenclaw has completed many theoretical studies throughout his life, which is exactly what Maka has been pursuing.

"Ms. Grey—Ms. Grey, please wait a moment!" Maka asked the ghost of the fat monk of Hufflepuff where she was and searched for her along the way.

Helena inherited her mother's appearance and was once a beautiful woman with long curly hair. Although she has now become a ghost, she has also maintained her youthful appearance.

Well, it's just that this beauty is a bit transparent, but that doesn't matter.

"Ms. Gray, can you wait a moment?" Maka found that she seemed reluctant to talk to others.

Helena finally stopped after he called her repeatedly. She turned around and hung a few inches above the ground, looking at Maka with an indifferent expression.

"Beautiful Ms. Gray," Maka quickly stood up and bowed gracefully, "I don't know if I can delay your time for a little while. There is something I think it is necessary to tell you."

She stared at Maka for a while and nodded with a somewhat haughty expression.

Maka leaned forward slightly again, and while expressing his gratitude, even he himself felt that it would be funny for a child to do these actions. But he knew that Helena was a woman who liked others to respect her, and her behavior

Maybe it will win him some favor.

"That's it." Maka said the prepared words. "When I was checking books in the library, I found some descriptions about Ravenclaw Academy. Yes, I already know about you.

identity."

As Maka spoke, he was always paying attention to Helena's expression. When he saw her frowning slightly but not rejecting the topic, he knew that this was a good start.

"As for you, I accidentally heard some past events from Bloody Barro..."

"I think your choice is not wrong." Maka said cautiously, "Chasing truth and chasing glory is the nature that everyone should have. It represents extraordinary wisdom and supreme pursuit."

"Oh, yes -" Helena suddenly chuckled, "Did you think I would say that?"

Maka was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this.

"Yes, you are right," she continued, "I have always thought so, but unfortunately, I have heard similar words once."

"And I don't want to hear it a second time." Helena put away her smile and looked at Maka coldly.

"Have you heard it once? Who said -" Maka thought about it and suddenly realized that she might have missed something.

"I don't know where you heard about that, but I'm sure there's nothing in the library—"

"Is it Tom Riddle?" Maka said suddenly.

As for how Voldemort found the Golden Crown, Maka had not thought much about it before. But now it seems that Voldemort, like him, chose Helena as a breakthrough point.

Helena looked at Maka - she didn't know how Maka guessed it, she should be the only one who knew about it.

"Ms. Gray, I think what I want to express is completely different from that person." Maka changed her gentle tone just now and became a little fierce.

"Tom Riddle just deceived you to get the golden crown, but I am different." Maka said, "I really think that your behavior is worthy of praise from every wizard. But I have no interest in the golden crown.

Any need, I just want to connect with a beautiful and intelligent woman like you."

Maka could see that Helena's expression changed slightly, which was because she recognized her disgusting compliment.

"I want you to know that a friend of mine will be enrolling next year. I think she will be sorted into Ravenclaw because of her beauty and intelligence similar to yours." Maka decided to strike while the iron was hot and continued to praise her in a roundabout way.

, "You must know that you are the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, and your characteristics obviously represent the qualities required for admission to Ravenclaw Academy."

This half-empty and half-true compliment obviously moved Helena, but Maka herself had goosebumps all over.

She smiled slightly and said arrogantly: "What you said makes sense, but my past experience makes it impossible for me to trust you easily."

"Unless—" She seemed to be in a good mood, and she protracted her tone to show off.

"Unless?" Maka agreed with a curious expression on her face.

"Unless you can pass Ravenclaw's bronze eagle door and enter the common room tonight by yourself." She smiled and said, "My mother once said, 'Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind.

', I will wait for you in the lounge."

After saying that, Helena stood up with a smile and walked away.

"I think you've suffered a lot and haven't had enough!" Maka looked at her leaving figure and couldn't help but shook her head secretly.

The entrance to the Ravenclaw common room is located at the top of a spiral staircase on the west side of the castle. There, there is a bare old wooden door with only an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.

At some point late at night that day, there were two knocks on the door out of thin air. As the sound sounded, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.

The eagle's beak on the bronze door knocker opened, and it spoke in a gentle and rhythmic voice.

"Where did the dead things go?" "Disappeared into nothingness."

Maka thought for a moment and answered quickly, but the door made no move to open it.

After a while, the olecranon spoke again.

“What is born out of nothingness?”

"Isn't it just a question? Did Helena do something?" Maka thought to herself, then settled down and continued to think for a while.

"Create something out of nothing and deduce everything."

"What is the truth among all things in the world?" - After a while, the third question came again.

Maka thought carefully and gradually frowned.

These questions were obviously a series of further explorations and did not look like questions for students at all. For the first time, Maka felt that her brain was a bit insufficient.

After pondering for a long time, he finally gave his answer - he was still not sure whether it was right or not.

"Material drives representation, and spirit deduces rules."

But that hateful eagle beak obviously didn't want to let him go, and it raised a fourth question.

"Which one will be destroyed first, material or spiritual?"

Come on! Who can answer this kind of question? Just guess in a reliable direction!

"Complementary cycle, coexistence and coexistence!"

Maka estimated that she must have a constipated look on her face now.

Suddenly, the eagle's eyes on the bronze door knocker blinked, flew up with vigor, and landed on Maka's shoulder.

"That shabby hat rarely made a good judgment. You are not a bad candidate."

It was still the same voice just now, but the intonation was no longer slow, and it sounded much more agile.

"Uh, please...who are you?" Maka was a little confused. What is going on?

"Me? I am a key left by Rowena, and I am also the guide of the candidates." It straightened its feathers with its bronze eagle beak, and then said, "You passed the initial test and gained entry.

Qualifications for Rowena's Secret Chamber. Now, are you ready?"

"Ready?" Maka was stunned, "No, I'm afraid not yet..."

The bronze eagle spread its wings and flew above his head, smiled and said, "I was just asking."

Having said that, Makaton felt like the world was spinning for a while, as if his body had been turned over and compressed. This should be the feeling of phantom. But he did not feel the huge feeling when someone showed up with his entourage in the past.

A sense of oppression and suffocation.

Just in the blink of an eye, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that he had indeed arrived at a brand new place.

"The space within Hogwarts has been reinforced by Rowena. Without me, no one can enter here." The bronze eagle said with a quacking smile.

Maka nodded, but her eyes kept wandering on the huge and neatly arranged bookshelves in front of her.

This is a room that is not too spacious, at least it is certainly not as big as the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Maka made a visual inspection and found that this room is at most half the size of a library.

But here, except for a desk and an armchair in the innermost space, the rest of the space is almost entirely occupied by giant bookshelves reaching to the ceiling.

Here, you can smell a rich and unique fragrance of ink, which made Maka, who had been on guard from just now, relax.
