The Gryffindor Sword, which only wizards with true Godric Gryffindor qualities can obtain and wield - a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Headmasters of Hogwarts.

However, after a series of passive, or active related observations and research of Maca so far, it has been discovered that this magic sword, which is claimed to have been forged by Gryffindor himself to the realm of the elves and commissioned by the elven king, is actually not from the hands of the elves.

Yes, regardless of the skilled craftsmen of the elven clan, at least it can't be the handiwork of the elf king Legnak I back then—after all, the age alone is not right.

It's just that, compared to the rest of the Calamity items with more mysterious origins, the Gryffindor Sword, which contains the sin of "rage", is the one that has the most records and traces to follow.

Obviously, Maca has always wanted to know what is the origin of these amazingly powerful but harmful disasters?

It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Helbo inadvertently seemed to say the "real name" of this Gryffindor sword for the first time.

"'Reckless Sword'...... Not a sword of courage, but a sword of 'recklessness'? Sure enough, these disaster-causing things don't have any good names at all! ”

Maca put her arm around Harry's shoulder, muttered something in her heart, and then whispered in the latter's ear:

"It's time to start! Remember what I said before – put aside all the shackles of your heart, don't be fooled by any appearances, and face your anger. Remember what I said...... As long as you have full confidence in yourself, sometimes it's not a bad thing to be reckless. But only if you know what you're doing......"

Just as Maca gave him some advice, Harry, who was standing with his sword in his hands and legs apart, felt a familiar tug from his sword. Then, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and when he "opened" his eyes again, he found that although everything around him had not changed, the whole world seemed to be frozen in the moment he opened his eyes.

Yes, even the Maca behind her is no exception!

That's right, he'd been in this situation before, when he first tried to challenge the Gryffindor Sword. It's just that at that time, he was just alone in the room of requirement, so he didn't behave so obviously.

And he remembered that Godric Gryffindor had appeared in front of him later, but it didn't seem to be seen today.

As far as Gryffindor's will himself said last time, he should not have disappeared now, but he had to stay asleep because of the lack of energy in order to wait for the true heir to appear.

And this time, the reason why Gryffindor's Phantom didn't wake up due to Harry's arrival was naturally because Harry didn't come in completely in a regular way - if it weren't for Maca to help him "smuggle" with the power of the Double Soul Rule, it would be at least a few years before he could come in again and challenge the sword.

“…… Mr. Gryffindor? ”

Harry let out a tentative call, but after a moment's wait, he found that no one had responded.

But in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him—the messy hair, the bright green eyes, and even the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead were clearly visible.

Harry had already experienced it once, and knew that it was himself he who he needed to overcome.

"Here you go again."

Just as Harry was in the middle of his battle, the other one on the other side spoke.

"Why do you want to make such a futile attempt? You know the outcome - you're not ready yet, are you? ”

The "Harry Potter" on the other side was no different from himself. If there is any difference, it may be the other party's attitude of not hiding his weaknesses at all.

Facing the other self, Harry felt as if he was looking in a mirror that would only tell the truth, revealing everything inside him in a single word.

"I'm not ready...... Yes, maybe that's right. Harry pursed his lips before he said slowly, "However, there are so many accidents in this world that it is impossible for me to give me enough time to prepare for everything. If I had to be ready to do anything, I guess I'd have nothing to do in my life, right? ”

Harry's words were beautiful, but the other person on the other side didn't seem to care much about the "ontology" of the word.

I saw that the other party was staring straight at this side, and after a slight pause, he shook his head and said:

"Anyone can tell the truth, but ...... In your own heart, do you really think so? But don't forget, I'm you – I know what you're thinking! Harry Potter, don't kid yourself! Without Maca, would you dare to say that you have the confidence to take on this challenge in your current state? ”

The answer was "no", and Harry knew that he really didn't have that confidence yet. Otherwise, with his character, I am afraid that he would have started to study again on his own how to start the second challenge in advance.

But......

"It's not a question of 'self-confidence' anymore," Harry said through gritted back teeth, "and now that Hylbo is still wreaking havoc out there, we don't even know how far he's gotten...... At the same time, even Maca suffered a serious injury not long ago, and lost all her strength. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but gradually raise his voice and said loudly:

"Maca needs help! He said he needed help—if nothing else, and for that alone, I was willing to trade everything I had for a power that would help him! So, it's not 'self-confidence', it's that I have to be 'confident'! ”

With that, Harry suddenly grasped the sword that was propped up in his hand, and suddenly reached forward and pointed at the other man.

"You're me, then you should know, now I'm angry - I hate that I can't even control a sword, I'm angry that I never have the power to protect everyone and the world like Maca!"

However, the one on the other side just looked at this side quietly, still unmoved.

"Angry with yourself...... How could this kind of wretched anger be used to harness the Gryffindor Sword? Think about it! It will never approve of a false and powerless will like yours - admit it! You're a weakling. ”

"You-"

Harry was so provoked by the other man's words that he was about to rush towards the other side with his sword. But before he could lift his feet, the palm of Maca's hand on his shoulder clasped his shoulder.
