"Because of the particularity of this test, I can't help you openly, so it's mainly up to you. I can only give you some help when you need it most... So remember, no matter what happens, don't leave me too far."
Harry felt his shoulder clasped by Marca, and suddenly remembered what Marca had said to him in advance.
At this moment, harriton realized that although Maka looked like other little friends around him, she was fixed there, but she was actually watching him from beginning to end.
"Marca, thank you!"
After a gentle thank-you, Harry put the Gryffindor sword back down.
Just then, he saw the one in front of him suddenly hissing and laughing.
"Want to kill me? Why don't you come here? You know, I'm the collection of those weaknesses in your heart - kill me, you'll kill the cowardly self in your heart! Without the obstacles of weakness, won't you really get the favor of Gryffindor sword?"
Speaking of this, the other party immediately shouted again:
"Why don't you come and cut off your defects?"
To ask "why", it is natural that the first reason is that Maka stopped him. But in the final analysis, the reason why Harry can calm down so quickly after being lived by makara is thanks to Godric Gryffindor's advice for the first time.
Obviously, if he had just waved his sword in a rage, the second challenge would probably be forced to end soon.
After all, even if anger and impulse are used to cover up, its essence is still a kind of "escape" - real anger is used to face strong enemies, not as an excuse for escape!
"Don't be confused by appearances."
Looking at his own faint sneer opposite, suddenly Harry remembered Marca's words.
Yes, although the other party said it was his "self" from the beginning, and even said it was the embodiment of his inner weakness. But in the face of the other party's sarcasm, Harry gradually had an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart.
At the thought of this, Harry suddenly excited himself and saw him suddenly staring at each other and asking in a loud voice involuntarily:
"You are not my 'defect' - what are you?"
Yes, if that's really your weakness, how can you be so strong and aggressive in every sentence?
Normally, this should be something Harry could have noticed from the beginning, but he was so disturbed by the other party's appearance and words that he had to wait for Marca to pull him out of the strange circle of thinking created by the other party.
When the other party found that Harry finally got rid of his misleading and began to move towards the essence of the test, he suddenly closed his mouth and didn't speak.
However, even if it is not far from the truth, Harry has not really realized what the so-called "essence" is.
It wasn't until there was no reason why a strong anger suddenly rushed into Harry's heart and shocked Harry, that Harry suddenly understood.
It turned out that although what he wanted to challenge was indeed "himself", it was not the illusion of himself opposite, but his own will.
The desire for rage ignited in Harry's heart.
……
"Is this... The second difficulty?"
In reality, when Harry closed his eyes and suddenly tensed up, Marca, who had been pressing his shoulder, suddenly looked at him more.
"Come on! Although it can help you through here, it's a great opportunity for you to improve your mental strength."
For the tested Harry, this challenge is obviously not only used to obtain the "examination" recognized by Gryffindor's sword. In fact, it is more like a means of cultivating successors.
Only those who have passed the preliminary approval of the sword can have the opportunity to grow up gradually through this series of tests, and finally obtain a strength that can give full play to the power of the sword.
Of course, these tests are obviously not left by Gryffindor, because if they are not complete, the consequences can be fatal. It was like Harry's first challenge last time. If Dumbledore hadn't suddenly appeared and put on his Sorting Hat, he would never wake up again.
This time, Harry finally entered the second test. If he can't stick to it, he will at least have a mental breakdown and fall into madness.
You know, this sword has never been good, otherwise Gryffindor wouldn't have said that he didn't recommend Harry to challenge last time.
While Harry was struggling with the sudden anger, Marca suddenly looked up and looked at Neville not far ahead.
"All right! Neville, put the stone down! Go and sit down and have a rest - well done."
Before the words fell, the crowd only heard a "bang", and Neville waved his magic wand and the big stone held in mid air was still on one side. Then he didn't even have the strength to say anything, so he sat down on the ground.
Maka looked at the big beads of sweat on his forehead and couldn't help nodding. To be honest, in addition to Harry, Neville's willpower should also be qualified to challenge Gryffindor's sword.
However, there must be only one real successor to Gryffindor's sword. According to Marca's judgment, Harry with stronger adaptability should be more appropriate.
As for Neville... What I have to say, the patron saint curse also has great potential in theory. If Neville can understand it, his strength alone will not be much worse than Harry, or even there are no hidden dangers at the same time.
Unfortunately, although Maka has also studied the patron saint mantra, Neville's growth in this field is not weak. How to make progress next, Maka can only teach him some application skills at most, and the rest can only rely on Neville's own efforts.
Thinking of this, Maka said to Neville, who was sitting on the ground panting:
"When Harry's side is over, I'll give you a theoretical class on the patron saint curse - first prepare, think about any questions, and then ask me questions. Of course, I may not be able to answer them all, so we can have a good discussion."
After that, he turned and motioned to Ron at the bottom of the wall:
"Come on, it's your turn!"
When Ron heard the speech, he looked subtly at the big stone that Neville had just dropped on the ground, and then said bitterly:
"Marca, that... Seems too big?"
