Chapter 1738: Will
If you want to pass the test of the Gryffindor Sword, you need not the magic of the sea, nor the otherworldly wisdom, nor the skill of the pinnacle.
As long as you have strong enough willpower, even if it is just a Muggle, you can still get the approval of the sword.
For example, Godric Gryffindor back then, in fact, many people don't know that he was a half-monk wizard. Born as a knight, he came into contact with magic with a wizard hired by the lord's family, and he was gifted enough to awaken his magic power at an age when he was about to reach adulthood, and he gradually became a wizard.
It is worth mentioning that while it is rare for him to be "severely overaged", it is a bit too late for a wizard to embark on the path of magic so late.
Until he got his sword from the Elf King, his magical prowess wasn't really outstanding.
However, it was precisely because of his extremely strong will and courage that was rare in the world that he passed the test of the sword in one fell swoop and became the perfect fit for the "Fury" rune.
From then on, his path to magic had been bright, and all obstacles in his path had been easily swept away by his sword. The strength of the sword and the courage of the puppet made him one of the leading wizard dueling masters of his time.
However, while Harry had similar courage to Gryffindor, he was not as unprecedented. If he only challenged the trial of the Gryffindor Sword on his own, he would probably not be able to pass the test like Gryffindor.
As Gryffindor said about him, he was obviously a little worse - but only "a little", and the consequences of failing the test were very serious.
But it must be said that Harry was lucky because he also had Maca by his side!
With Maca here, not only can he forcibly start the trial, but he can even directly protect him with soul rules when he fails, so that he can avoid excessive punishment.
Not only that, but in order to be able to pass the test, Maca also came up with a method that could effectively exercise his willpower.
You must know that strong courage is an effective way to improve the strength and sustainability of will. But since Harry couldn't fully meet the goal in terms of courage, trying to find other ways to improve his willpower became another way to solve the problem.
So, Maca came up with a solution.
"Harry, come, dinner is here."
When Maca opened the door with food and walked in, he could see that Harry was staring at the rune carved into the wall, and he didn't seem to have changed his sitting posture since noon when Maca brought him lunch.
Seeing this, Maca immediately raised her hand and waved it lightly towards the wall, temporarily erasing the "arrogant" rune carved by him himself, and then reminded again:
"Harry, alright, let's get something to eat first!"
Without the runes, Harry was finally able to break free from his stunned state, and then he was greatly relieved.
This is a training method specially designed by Maca to improve his willpower - by resisting the powerful temptation of "arrogance", he will gain enough strong mental will, and this can obviously be used in the test of the Gryffindor sword as well.
"Maca?"
Harry looked tired when he came back to his senses, because although the "arrogant" rune was made by Maka, it was still very difficult except that it was not life-threatening.
"Oh...... Is it night again? I didn't even notice. ”
He rubbed his face and rested for a moment before shuffling his heavy steps to the table where the supper was served and sat down.
"Maka, how's everyone doing? I'm not too far behind, am I? ”
As he ate his food, Harry asked casually. Although what he has done is difficult to compare with other friends, he believes that Maca can still give him a more accurate answer.
"Well, Hermione seems to be a little bit frowning," Maca said as she sat down and thought for a moment, "as for whether you're lagging behind...... I don't think so,"
As he was talking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't help adding:
"Oh yes! I think Ron's progress should be the bigger of all. ”
"That sounds good," Harry said, "and when you get back and go out, see him with your own eyes, and you'll believe I'm right." ”
"Ron?" When Harry heard this, he couldn't help but stop the fork in his hand and nodded knowingly, "I'm so glad for him—he's been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”
With that, he hurriedly pulled the food from his mouth and ate it in large gulps, quickly sweeping away the lunch that did not seem very rich.
"Maka, you can continue!"
Harry gestured to the wall where the runes had just been erased by Maca, signaling that he could start training again.
"Don't be in such a hurry," Maca waved at him, "take a break—I know you're feeling good today, but no matter how well it goes, you still need to rest, and everyone is resting right now!" ”
After sitting in the room with Harry for a while and chatting casually, Maca re-engraved "arrogance" on the wall.
Suddenly, an invisible force filled the room as it had done at first, and the negative effect on the soul caused Harry to freeze.
Soon, he was once again caught in an invisible confrontation, as he had seen when Maca had just entered, and he fell silent without moving.
And from time to time, Maca saw a bit of struggle in Harry's eyes, which showed that he was far from completely resisting the impact of the "arrogant" rule.
"Come on!"
Maca smiled at him at the end, and secretly encouraged him in her heart, before picking up the tray and walking towards the door.
"But it looks like it will take a while."
……
While Maca was talking to Delphi and going to Harry's to deliver dinner, Hermione was in her room pondering the day's harvest.
At the same time, Luna sat on the bed not far away, confused as to what she was thinking.
Speaking of which, this time about Maca's plan to leave, she was the one who guessed completely on her own. Even Delphi, if she didn't know more about Maca than the others, probably wouldn't have realized the other party's thoughts so early.
And right now, Luna was still thinking about the possibility of Maca saying goodbye without saying goodbye, and naturally felt a little worried.
Yes, it's "worry" - this kind of emotion is not common in Luna.
