The outbreak of the cooling rule just now is a major achievement of Maka's continuous research over the years.

Through the understanding of regular runes, he can create extremely stable ultra-low temperature areas in an instant. It is a powerful force that can freeze the magic of moving all the time.

However, limited by the rune itself of the cooling rule, even if Maka has been able to maximize it, it is only a first-class rule after all.

It may make the magic of halbona unable to work, but it can't bring each other's souls into the scope of influence.

For the soul in the human body, as long as it is not transformed into ghost form for some reason, it still belongs to the scope of the secondary rules of the spiritual system, which can not be interfered by the primary rules of the material system - cooling rules.

However, in any case, this is the peak of the power of first-class rules.

In that short instant, although halbo impacted Maka's spiritual will with the help of soul rules and interrupted Maka's giving in time, his body was more or less touched by the terrible cold in that moment.

At this moment, Maka looked at helbo's sleeves and the hem of his robe. The mottled, glittering and damaged marks on his head showed the harvest of his sudden outbreak of the power of rules.

Of course, the actual effect is probably limited to this.

"... do you think it's really enough with such a little effort?"

Just after halbo's soul shock, Maka was already on guard before she planned to send erns away.

However, even he can say that he knows soul magic quite well. When trying to solve the ancient mirror incident, he has also done a lot of research on the soul rule runes derived from the bewitching monument. He still failed to completely block helbo's means - even at that time, helbo could even be said to have "shot in a hurry".

So, despite his understatement, people think he seems to have a lot of money, but in fact, he just wants to bluff along with the trend.

Judging from his previous practices, the only way he wants to leave alive is to get out of the other party with his own strength.

However, for Maka's seemingly arrogant speech, the old guy doesn't seem to have much aversion.

"If the strength is enough, I'll just know." halbo still smiles, and his eyes looking at Maka are still calm. "For me, where can the child's soul be as sweet and delicious as you?"

"Really?" Marca nodded. "Then you have to get it too -"

Before the words fell, the top of his staff began to burst again, emitting crystal blue and white light, and the cooling runes reappeared in front of them.

Just opposite him, the ancient mirror behind halbo seemed to begin to melt, showing spiral silver gray eddies. At the center of the vortex, the soul rule Rune looms.

The duel between the two was like a hair trigger.

……

Just when Maka and halbo may have a big fight, Ernst, who was sent back to the front door of Hogwarts, has come to the school vestibule.

The final stage of the alchemy competition seems to have reached the most critical moment. The stadium is crowded, and the hum of the audience talking about the competition even spread to the outside.

But Ernst can't care about these. His mind is full of messy thoughts. Although he wants to find someone to help Marca, he doesn't know who to look for.

At this time, at a window opening of Gryffindor tower, a pair of eyes wandering around the temporary market in the campus vestibule suddenly found a small figure with a blank face.

"Barnes?"

That's Alexander. He's been walking around the castle for several times today, but he finds that Ernst can't be found anywhere. At the moment, it was the last moment on the field, but he was not interested in watching the birth of the champion.

Perhaps before he knew it, nes Taron had become his real friend, even though it was always annoying.

After discovering Ernst's figure, Alexander immediately turned back and rushed out of the portrait door of the common room. Then he ran straight to the stairs in the high decibel scream of the fat lady.

At this time, most people went to the stadium to watch the game, and there were not many guests in the temporary market. Therefore, he soon found Ernst's place on the way of running.

"Hey!"

Hearing a familiar voice from the front, Ernst suddenly raised his head while walking quickly towards the castle. Then he saw Alexander running straight to his side.

"Oh, it's this boy..." RNs muttered listlessly. "What's the use of him coming."

But whatever he thinks, Alexander must not know. Alexander was obviously angry about his disappearance and shouted as soon as he came to him.

"Where have you been? I tell you, headmaster, they all know... You can't run away with this heavy punishment!"

"Hmm?" said Ernst casually, "just punish..."

While he was perfunctory, he didn't stop at all, but passed Alexander directly - he didn't have time to say that now!

According to his observation of the old wizard who ran out from under the huge stone tablet, it was obviously an extremely terrible strong man. Maka may be very powerful, but can he beat each other?

Ernst didn't know... Although he didn't know, it was Maka who saved him from such an unfathomable old man.

Therefore, he must find someone to help Maka - help his life-saving grace!

Unable to figure out who to look for for for a while, Ernst naturally walked towards the castle. After all, Professor McGonagall is the headmaster of Hogwarts. It's not wrong to go to her first, is it?

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Enns!"

Seeing that Ernst passed by without hesitation, it was obvious that he had no intention to pay more attention to himself. Alexander, who had always been worried about Ernst today, was even more angry.

After turning back and shouting but not getting a response, Alexander couldn't help taking two steps and grabbed Ernst's dirty robe.

"Are you tired of --"

Ernst was equally upset. After being dragged by Alexander, his anger flared up. But when he turned to push Alexander away, an idea preempted his mind.

"Alexander, where is Professor McGonagall now? Is he in the principal's office or on the field?"

If you go to the principal's office and find no one in it, you're wasting your time. And today is the final again. When you think about it carefully, Professor McGonagall is more likely to watch the game there.

"Professor McGonagall? I don't know... But maybe it's on the field?" Alexander was stunned by Ernst. "Why, you're going to 'turn yourself in'?"

"Since what first - I'll go to Professor McGonagall first and tell you the specific things later," Ernst waved his hand. "Professor McLean may be in trouble!"

After that, as soon as they reached the gate of the castle, Ernst turned and ran to the entrance channel of the stadium. Behind him, Alexander paused again, and then he followed him.

However, they were destined not to find MEG there.

At the moment, the audience is already overcrowded. They squeeze around for a few times, but in fact they just spin around near the entrance.

As for the most likely VIP seat, it is impossible to break through the past all the way.

Alexander had a good eye this time. When he passed a row of seats, he caught a glimpse of several senior students of Gryffindor college who were also watching the game. Compared with Ernst's independent character, knowing more people will naturally have more convenience in this situation.

After learning that Professor McGonagall had left the game more than two hours ago, Ernst had to go back and try his luck at the castle again.

"Alexander, try talking to other professors. I'll find Professor McGonagall."

Before leaving, Ernst motioned to the front of the auditorium - although the headmaster is not here, he can't just waste his time here. It's more efficient to act separately.

In fact, if he didn't think it was best not to let too many people know about Albania, directly mobilizing more students might be the most appropriate choice.

Hearing what Ernst said, Alexander frowned, but he nodded quickly.

"I see," he said, shouting again at Ernst's quick leaving figure, "but... Remember to explain clearly to me afterwards! Do you understand!"

……

From the first floor of the castle to the principal's office, the fastest way is naturally to go directly to the spiral spiral staircase in front of the office door. Unfortunately, the entrance of the revolving staircase is guarded by a gargoyle. It can't be used without a password.

Therefore, Ernst had to fall back and choose another spiral staircase to the west of the castle. The staircase did not exert its own rotation magic. He needed to climb to the top with his own legs, and then pass through a long corridor to see the door of the principal's office.

This staircase is also the way to Ravenclaw public lounge.

Ernst ran for a long time on the upward extending stairs. When his legs began to swell and sour, he came to the eighth floor of the castle panting.

As soon as he panted up the top floor of the castle, Ernst saw a senior student coming towards him in the corridor ahead. The other party's long blond hair is still bright and dazzling even in the castle where the light is not enough.

"Well?"

As the two sides passed by, the girl gave a slight sigh.
