That's right, when Umbridge was a student at Slytherin, she never had the idea of taking an ancient magic course.

At this point, even if she refreshed her knowledge of magic literature overnight, I am afraid it would not be of much help.

That's why she stood up and picked on the thorns before Maca gave a lecture; Therefore, when she heard that Maca wanted to change to a "more ancient demonic example", she couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart.

However, when Maca knocked on the blackboard with her backhand, and a large character appeared on it, Umbridge let out a sigh of relief.

She even felt a little angry: does this hateful little ghost completely look down on me?

Appearing on the blackboard is the character "i" in the ancient runi script known as "the foundation of the foundation".

This character, which has only two syllables, is not only written in a concise and clear way, but also claims to be "the only basic character in the Runi script that has only a single interpretation meaning".

Not to mention wizards who have never taken ancient magic literature, even those children who have not yet reached school age and have only read fairy tales from the wizarding world at home probably know them.

The little wizards in the classroom were a little anxious for Maca.

"There's no way he doesn't know what that guy is doing! What was he thinking about using the character 'i' to test that woman on such an occasion! ”

Hermione, who was sitting in the middle of the room, winked hard, trying to get Maca's attention.

Unfortunately, although Hermione managed to get a glimpse of her expression, she didn't seem to notice the deep meaning behind her anxiety, and smiled at her.

"Still laughing! What a laugh! Go for it, huh! Hermione huffed and turned her head away.

"I see...... "I see," the smile on Umbridge's face regrouped, "I've heard this little imp is a mudblood...... Since it's a mudblood, it doesn't know what a 'real' wizard lives, does it? ”

Umbridge, who thought he had figured this out, flicked the curls on his forehead. I probably felt that I had finally discovered Maka's weakness, so I couldn't help myself for a while......

She had been cautiously maintaining her iron mask, but inadvertently revealed a trace of contempt in that sweet smile.

If Umbridge is a person, she climbed all the way through the Ministry of Magic by relying on her hypocritical façade and vicious methods. Although she is despised as a whole, she still has the ability.

But today, under Maka's beating, her true emotions have inadvertently leaked out.

"So fast?" Naturally, Maca was always paying attention to Umbridge's face, but at this time he also shook his head secretly, "I thought her mask could last a little longer......

Maca was thinking, but Umbridge couldn't bear to speak.

"Of course I know that...... What, is there anything wrong with this runi character? ”

In response to Maca's question, Umbridge slyly retorted, as if trying to use a pretending to shirk and half-conceal Maca to take the bait.

"Can you read 'it'?" Maca was quite cooperative, "Of course, by the way...... If Senior Investigator Umbridge could explain what it represents, I think that would be good! ”

When Umbridge heard this, the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ear.

"Well......" she said in her tender girlish voice, "it's pronounced 'isa,' which stands for 'ice,' and it has and only one meaning...... I don't know, am I right? ”

"Yes, that's right!" Maca suddenly smiled, and even applauded, "If you're still a Hogwarts student, I can't help but add 5 house points to you!" ”

Umbridge's face changed, and a chill rose behind him. However, even though her mind was thinking like lightning, she still didn't understand what the problem was.

In her moments of confusion, Maca didn't look at her again, but looked around at the young wizards sitting in the classroom.

"Whether it's the elective students of my Ancient Demon Script class, or the other students who have come to audit for interest, they must all know this character, right?"

In Maka's gentle questioning voice, the little wizards all nodded subconsciously, and you responded one by one.

"So...... Remember what I said earlier? Maca smiled and said, "It's hard to say whether the 'magical knowledge' is deep or shallow!" ”

"For example, in the wizarding world, everyone is even more familiar with 'it' than powerful wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort, and even in fairy tale books, there are traces of 'it'...... Am I right? ”

"That's right!"

Probably guessing that Maca still had a back hand, all the students calmed down and responded in unison.

"But just such a character that even children who have not yet reached school age know, as long as you understand it deeply enough, thoroughly enough, delicate enough, and sincere enough, it will also become your most powerful weapon!"

Speaking of this, Maca's face showed a sincere and sincere expression, and he said with great seriousness:

"Today, I would like to take this opportunity to teach you a truth: as long as you sincerely explore the mysteries of magic, even if it is just such a basic character, it may make you proud for a lifetime!"

Before he could finish speaking, he flicked his wand, and the character on the blackboard suddenly flipped and floated out, and the biting chill sent shivers down the sleeve to everyone except Maca.

In the next second, an ice-blue pillar of light burst out from in front of the character, silently, leaving a large hole full of ice slag in the wall facing the outside of the castle.

If you were standing outside the castle at this time, you would undoubtedly see a straight pillar of light breaking through the castle wall, leaving a trace in the minds of the witnesses that could not be dissipated for a long time.

"By the way, I'm going to tell Senior Investigator Umbridge a point......"

With a slight flick of Maca's wand, the flipped character floated to Umbridge's eyes with agility and speed. There was still a cold chill on her head, but a little bead of sweat oozed from her forehead.

“…… Perhaps there should be a 'limit' to the education of magic! Unfortunately, at my level, I don't understand where that 'limit' is. ”

"If you know, please let me know, lest I spend so much energy and time researching."

After saying these few words, Maca erased the characters, and then ignored Umbridge, who was standing there in a daze.

He threw a repair charm on the castle wall, and after restoring the damaged wall, he began today's formal lecture under the gaze of a group of sparkling eyes.

In fact, after seeing the wonderful performance of today's class, many students have become extremely interested in magic.

As Maca wants to express, the real magic in this world is actually a fairly balanced thing, and there is no so-called high and low in essence.

Unfortunately, there is no difficulty in distinguishing between "magic", but "magic" does.

In order to allow more people to learn magic, the ancestors of wizards simplified it, but this behavior made the essence of magic more and more incomplete.

To be honest, Maca wasn't quite sure whether she was right or wrong to do it today.

But just as Muggles pursue science and use it to bring progress to the world; He prefers to believe that true magic will also bring immeasurable leaps to this world.

The class ended with the eagerness of the students.

Maca picked up the textbook on the lectern and nodded to the young wizards in the classroom, then walked briskly out the door. As for Umbridge, she had left halfway through the class with a blank clipboard that she hadn't remembered a word.

No one noticed her leaving, let alone cared if she would leave or not, because it didn't matter anymore.

……

On the other side, Dumbledore stood at the top of the Astronomy Tower, the highest point in Hogwarts, looking out at the distant sky, without much fluctuation in his heart.

Of course, he saw the movement of Maca, and even smiled slightly.

During this time, Dumbledore never went out. No matter what happened in the outside world, he was calm and calm.

Even Moody's disappearance and Kingsley's accident did not move him.

When he has nothing to do, he wanders around the school, admires the flowers, weeds, visits the fishman and the octopus in the lake behind the castle, or flips through his favorite book, The Tales of the Poet Pedou.

These trivial and leisurely things are what he loves to do recently.

If you want to say when Dumbledore began to "enjoy life" vigorously, it is undoubtedly the time when he and Voldemort officially met.

"Thanks to the Maka kid, I finally understand—but Tom, do you understand?"

He had said so.

“…… Sometimes, people...... You should be selfish......"

He said the same thing.

No matter which sentence, it is confusing. What happened to Dumbledore is probably only known to him.

Just as Dumbledore stared at the blue wall, a figure suddenly came up the stairs behind him, walked up behind him and stood still.

"You do that...... What is it for? The man frowned behind Dumbledore's back, and there was an unconcealed irritability in his voice.

But the old man in front of him did not answer his question directly.

"Maca, this child, is really growing." Dumbledore smiled, "He's better than me." ”

"So what?" The man said impatiently.

Dumbledore shook his head, then sighed.

"I should have thanked him personally," he said, "without him, I probably wouldn't have been 'selfish' in my life, right?" ”
