224. Mentors, misunderstandings, explanations

Ravenclaw gave an unprecedented few words of praise, which made Scott a little fluttering.

Then, in the shortest amount of time, she cracked what was left of the old parchment.

Incidentally, he also corrected several minor mistakes left by Scott when he cracked it earlier.

At this point, the secret recipe left by the alchemist has finally revealed its true colors.

Scott couldn't be happier with that.

"Okay, it's a summer gift for you."

Ravenclaw said lightly.

"Have a great summer vacation."

"Thank you, Professor."

Scott quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Now, you're ready to go and enjoy your vacation."

Ravenclaw smiled.

"Before I do that, though, I want to say a few words to you."

Scott nodded.

Ravenclaw looked him in the eye.

"I will not restrain your deeds, as long as you are not guilty of great evil. I don't ask for your morals, as long as you're not full of evil. ”

Her eyes shone with wisdom, as if she could see through his thoughts.

"But on the path of exploring magic, I want you to always be wise, always determined, and never stop."

Scott bowed solemnly again, "I see." ”

He straightened up and changed his title, "Mentor." ”

Ravenclaw's words just now were a solemn admonition that ancient wizards would only say when they took in apprentices.

At this moment, Ravenclaw admitted him as a student.

Their relationship has also changed.

They are no longer the usual professor-student relationship in the school, but a closer mentor and apprentice.

Even Scott was thrilled at the moment.

Because for Scott, who lived in the East in his previous life, this master-apprentice relationship is even more significant.

"Well, we'll see you after the summer holidays."

Ravenclaw just nodded and said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Mentor."

Scott obediently packed up his things and turned to leave.

He still couldn't believe it, and he felt his heart pounding rapidly.

His feet were as light as if they were on cotton.

He left the inner chamber with a deep and shallow foot.

The door to the inner room closed and vanished, and Scott was still standing in Helena's study, trying to calm down.

Although he was not a mentor or a student, and Ravenclaw would teach him as promised, he was still thrilled.

This is a very valuable recognition.

Recognition from the stern and critical Ravenclaw.

This means that his path has been favored by Ravenclaw, and it also gives him more confidence in his future.

Scott...... Scott! ”

Helena's loud and loud call brought Scott back to his senses.

"What's wrong with you?"

Helena looked at him worriedly.

"Have you been criticized by your mother?"

Before Scott could answer, Helena nodded to herself.

"I think so."

Then, she took on a passerby gesture and began to comfort Scott.

"It's okay, you know, my mother often criticizes me."

She even used herself as an example.

"Mother never understood that it was rare for a wizard to have such a high level of wisdom as her."

She said with some embarrassment.

"She always looks at others by her own standards, and she is always not used to such a gap."

Helena talked about this topic with some gushing posture.

It seems that this lady suffered greatly from it as a girl.

"At first, my mother didn't think that I was not smart enough, and thought that I was not working hard enough."

She looked depressed.

"It wasn't until she had too many setbacks in her teaching me that my mother finally figured it out, and she gave up her plan to train me to be a great wizard."

Scott immediately understood why Helena was under pressure to steal the crown.

As a child, it is painful when you are strictly demanded by your parents, and it is even more painful when you are abandoned by your parents.

But Helena in the painting looks at Scott with sympathetic eyes.

"You're probably smarter than I am, Scott, so Mother is a little harsher on you."

Scott found that there was still subtle envy in her eyes.

But Scott had something else on his mind.

The consciousness left behind by Ravenclaw is gone, and the ghost Helena is gone.

The Ravenclaw and Helena in the paintings are undoubtedly real portraits.

However, both Ravenclaw and Helena are more vivid than the other portraits in the castle.

Scott never thought he could read the eyes of a portrait.

But he didn't know whether to solve Helena's misunderstanding at the moment.

If truth is told, will Helena be hit when she was a girl in the painting?

But Scott thought about it and chose to tell the truth.

Because the Ravenclaw in the inner room must have noticed what was going on here.

Although she is only a portrait.

But for no reason, Scott felt that the portrait of his mentor was also completely different from the portrait of others.

"Helena."

Scott looked at the girl in the painting.

"Thank you for comforting me, but you misunderstood, I was just too excited."

Helena immediately asked curiously, "Excited?" Did anything good happen? ”

"Of course." Scott puffed up his chest and proudly said, "I think Ms. Ravenclaw has recognized me, and she has become my mentor." ”

"Mentor ......"

Helena repeated, then covered her mouth with her hands and stared at Scott with wide eyes.

"Yes, Mentor." Scott affirmed.

"Congratulations, Scott." Helena looked at Scott with some complexity, "You know, my mother only taught those students as a dean and professor when she was alive. ”

Scott said solemnly: "It's my pleasure. ”

Helena burst into laughter.

Scott could tell that her smile was genuine.

"That's good." She said with some joy.

Scott's pupils tremble.

It seems that he has misunderstood Helena, and the character of Helena in front of him as a girl is much better than Helena, who later became Ms. Gray.

She doesn't have that kind of strong pride and stubborn obsession.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful.

Such a beautiful girl can become such a paranoid ghost, I have to say, it is a devastating tragedy.

"It's a pity." Helena sighed suddenly, "It's a pity that you didn't show up in the era when your mother was alive. ”

Helena looked at Scott.

"If you could show up in that era and become a student of your mother, I think she would be a lot happier. And I'll be a lot more relaxed. ”

"This ......"

Scott was tempted to say that Helena was serious.

How can he be virtuous?

But Helena suddenly disappeared from the painting.

"Helena?" Scott was a little confused.

Just then, a Ravenclaw voice came from the painting, "You go first, Scott, I have something to say to Helena." ”

"Yes, Mentor."

Scott reluctantly responded, and finally left the Room of Requirement.
