"Don't worry, it's just a snake."
In fact, Maka's words are far from dispelling Luna's doubts.
But this time, it was mainly for the Muggle children Candice and Kevin, so she only hesitated a little and temporarily took her attention away from Maka's arm.
"Oh, a very special snake!"
Luna nodded, then turned around and pushed the two children in front of her.
"Look! This is Candice, Charles's cousin... And this is Candice's good friend Kevin," she happily introduced to Marca, "Before lunch today, when I went to the school hospital to get Mrs. Pomfrey's muscle relaxant - Oh, you know, the team mates are practicing very hard these days. They need magic medicine to relieve muscle pain..."
"Yes, I know! Although Slytherin college has a great advantage this year because of the low score last time, your Ravenclaw team does not have no hope of competing for the silver cup."
Seeing that Luna had a tendency to deviate without saying two words, Maka had to shake her head and express helplessness for her old habit of forgetting the topic.
And after some echo and interrupting Luna's words, he took the initiative to pull back what he was saying just now.
Marca motioned to Candice and Kevin and said:
"Did you know them before lunch?"
At the same time, Maka showed a gentle smile to the two children - he could see that they seemed a little nervous.
As for Luna, Maka turned back to the original topic, but immediately took it up without any sense of contradiction.
"Well, to be exact, I met Candice before lunch," she said. "She and I have a good conversation. We are all interested in each other's life... Candice, am I right?"
Coldly asked by Luna, Candice subconsciously glanced at Maka again, and then nodded:
"Ah! Yes... I really want to know what the wizard's every day is like, and the big sister carefully told me her way of life. Seriously, after listening to it, I really feel very wonderful! And..."
Maka didn't expect that the little girl seemed quiet on the surface, but she was actually a talker. As she continued to talk, the initial uneasiness soon disappeared, and even her voice became louder and louder.
But obviously, that's not what Marca wants to hear.
When he found that the topic was unknowingly deviated from the subject, he had to wave his hand a little and let Candice stop first.
"I have to say that miss Lovegood's life can't represent other wizards at all. Fundamentally, the difference between wizards and Muggles - that is, you, is far from what you think. We also take the train and read the newspaper... Even occasionally go to the beach for a holiday and eat fish and chips?"
At this point, he turned his head again:
"Well, we can talk about what we are interested in later. Now, I think we should get down to business -"
Just then, Maka turned her head and looked at Kevin's children who looked relatively calm - to be honest, Kevin was obviously much more mature than Luna, who was out of tune, and Candice, who was quite similar to her.
"Your name is Kevin, isn't it?" Marca said. "Come on! What's the reason you came to my room to see me this time?"
Maybe Kevin can't stand the rage of the topic, so as soon as Maka finished asking, he immediately replied:
"It's for a magic called 'forgetting spell'... Well, it should be magic? Sir, we heard another gentleman say that Candice and I are likely to be erased after recovery... But we don't want to lose anything in our heads."
"Oh, thank you for your concise explanation!" Marca smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and then thought, "how to say... If you want to keep your memory, it's not impossible. In fact, someone has been doing so recently. But in this way, there are really not many choices left for you."
On the way, Maka paused a little and then took the shortcut:
"First, you can stay in our Wizard's world and learn magic knowledge through correspondence education, but you can't go back to the original world without the wizard's company..."
"Of course, it will be more difficult for ordinary people to learn this knowledge than wizards, and it is also very difficult to get a proportional harvest - really, it is a very demotivating thing for learning itself."
"We can also learn magic?" Candice said excitedly.
However, Maka can only give her a regretful expression.
"No, it's not 'learning magic', it's' learning magic knowledge '. At least for now, you can't use magic spells. You can't even see what magic looks like," he said. "So, just learning' knowledge '... It's quite boring."
"Is there... No knowledge we can use?" Kevin asked, "just one or two!"
But Maka still spread her hands helplessly.
"No, at least you need the cooperation of a real wizard to have the opportunity to participate in it. Moreover, you are still likely to feel nothing, and you don't know whether the power of magic exists or not."
But when talking about this, Maka suddenly smiled again and listened to him:
"However, this does not mean that you will achieve nothing - you know, the famous American School of magic and Wizardry, ifamani, has four founders like our school, and one of them is a pure Muggle!"
Candice and Kevin couldn't help their eyes shining when they heard that.
"Muggle? Created a magic school?"
"With three other wizards."
Maka's words seemed to deliberately pour a bucket of ice water on the flame like passion, which made the corners of the two children's mouths droop in an instant.
After a moment of silence, Kevin was the most calm, so he took the lead in saying:
"Sir, just now you said this is' first ', does that mean that there are' second 'and' third 'options behind it?"
"Well, you have a good memory!" Maka nodded. "The second option is that you have to make an oath with magical power under my witness. This oath will prohibit you from revealing to others all the people and things you see, hear and understand here."
"Oh, be careful, such vows must not be broken. Because if you break the oath, you will immediately suffer very serious punishment..."
After giving a kind reminder, he finally said:
"When you have made an oath, you can keep this memory and continue to return to your original life - as before, there will be no change."
"Er..." Kevin listened and couldn't help asking carefully, "is there a third?"
Maka smiled and said:
"Yes! I can send you to our Wizard's prison, where you can feel the charm of magic at a close distance - there are a large group of magical creatures living on that isolated island, and their power can be clearly felt by people without magic talent like you!"
Standing aside and hearing that Luna now saw him say so, she couldn't help sipping her mouth and said:
"Maka!"
It seems that even Luna, who has always been unable to distinguish between jokes and truth, heard Maka teasing the two children this time.
"All right, all right!" he laughed. "Azkaban wizard prison is not a pleasant place. Almost everyone will only feel despair there - although it can be said to be a choice, I believe you will never want to live there."
Up to now, Candice and Kevin naturally understand that the last third option is just that the young gentleman is joking.
Although they heard this kind of wizard's joke, they didn't know how much, so it was.
After a little thought, there was another moment of silence. This time, Candice hurriedly said:
"In that case, I choose -"
Before she finished, Maka shook her hand and motioned for her to stop for the time being.
"Don't choose now, think about it!" he smiled. "I hope you understand that this choice will be related to your future life! Because according to your final answer, I may have more arrangements for you to cooperate."
In fact, about Candice and Kevin, Maka was just a temporary idea.
Some of his thoughts came from the last time he visited old buddy in Diagon lane. Today, with Luna's unintentional "assistance", he just happened to find two good candidates.
"So wait until you get Mrs. Pomfrey's consent and fully recover! Don't worry, with me, you won't be forced to erase your memory - so you can think at ease."
Although there seems to be nothing to choose from the two options given by Maka, it is actually a difficult choice of "magic or family".
Not to mention whether Candice can think of this, at least in Marca's view, as long as sufficient time is given to think, Kevin, who is more used to thinking, will certainly understand the significance of the two options.
At this time, Luna, who finally waited until the matter was over, hurriedly said:
"Have you solved it? Oh, I think we can talk about another thing now - Marca, the snake on your arm seems very unhappy. It says, you just smoked three tubes of blood!"
"What?"
