During the whole day's practice, I only had a break at lunch. The rest of the time was either theory or practice, without wasting any effort.
To be honest, this intensive study and training is very tiring for everyone and Maka.
Especially Maka, although he just walked back and forth in and out of the yard, he came to the little partners in need from time to time to give advice. However, this targeted guidance, regardless of the object, is obviously quite laborious.
Until the end of dinner, after announcing that everyone had consolidated the magic theory learned today, Maka went upstairs to have a rest.
"Then I'll try Marca's arm shield again!" as soon as Marca left, Ron stood up and said excitedly, "Ginny, express it to me -"
Obviously, he is also very tired today. After all, since Marca drove him to lift the stone with Neville in the morning, he has been holding the stone for spiritual training in addition to the study of magic theory.
But it is obvious that he really loves the rune arm shield, because he can also cast amazing magic when his talent is not very strong.
For Ron, this feeling is addictive!
Looking at Ron who took the arm shield from Ginny and ran out of the living room happily, the little friends couldn't help looking back and forth.
"I'll go and practice a little more," Neville waved to everyone, and then ran out the back door after Ron.
Maybe Neville and Ron had a positive impact on others. Soon, most of the little friends left the living room one after another, leaving only Hermione, Luna and Delphi.
"Let's continue our efforts!"
Seeing that everyone had gone, Hermione couldn't help but ask Luna and Delphi to go again and study the rule runes. But just then, Luna seemed to think of something and motioned to Hermione.
"Go and see Harry first!"
"Oh!" Hermione nodded immediately. "I almost forgot... OK, let's go! Let's go and see him."
Hermione nodded suddenly, then got up and walked upstairs with Luna and Delphi. In this process, the only thing that hasn't been said from beginning to end is Delphi.
……
A moment later, Harry and Ron lived in the room.
"Harry!"
Hermione first opened the door and went in. Then she saw Harry looking at a note in bed. Although she still needs more time to rest and can't participate in practice, she still doesn't forget to study the theoretical learning progress in bed.
When Harry saw Hermione and them come in, he put his notebook aside and greeted the three people who came to see him happily.
"How do you feel?" Hermione asked. "Can you go back to practice tomorrow? Oh, by the way, have you had dinner?"
"Well," said Harry, nodding, "it should be all right by tomorrow... And then, if you mean dinner --"
He said, pointing to the table not far away.
"Marca brought it for me. It's just finished."
"That's good," Hermione smiled. "You can rest early! Don't watch it tonight... Well, I'm relieved to see that you're in good spirits, so let's first..."
She was about to go downstairs to the yard, but before she finished, she was suddenly interrupted by Luna behind her.
"Hermione, there's something I want to tell you."
"What?"
Hearing Luna's words, Hermione immediately turned around and looked at each other.
"It's Marca," Luna tilted her head and said in a puzzled way, "before, Delphi told me that Marca seemed different... At first I didn't notice it. But at the end of the day, I seemed to feel a little strange."
At the mention of Marca, including Harry in bed, all eyes in the room fell on her.
And that's when Luna looked at Harry again, and then she said:
"Harry, you should have noticed that, too? Marca, he seems... A little worried?"
"Well?"
Harry was stunned by Luna. He scratched his head and frowned. Then he hesitated and nodded.
"I don't feel anything if you don't say it, but after you mention it, I think something's wrong."
He recalled and said slowly:
"Well... You should also know that today I wanted to challenge Gryffindor's sword, but I completely failed. But maybe you don't know that this challenge... Was offered by Maka to help me open. If Maka's past temperament, I don't think he would be in such a hurry to let me start."
But Hermione shook her head a little before her voice fell.
"But isn't it right for Maka to be anxious? Luna, you know, although Maka has deliberately made time to 'make up lessons' for us, in fact, the current situation is quite severe."
"Well, I know," Luna said, "but even so, it's not like Maka's style to make us stronger, is it? Although he has only carried a lot of things by himself so far, it's really inappropriate, but his change now... Is too sudden."
Listen, when Luna said this, Delphi on one side finally broke in:
"Yes, actually I think so too - to tell you the truth, I've been worried about whether Mr. McLean will leave us since he came back from the sea. And you see... He's so eager to guide us and try his best to strengthen us. Does it seem like --"
"... preparing for us without his shelter?" Hermione took over subconsciously and hesitated. "No, he... How could he... Marca won't leave us alone."
"Of course, generally speaking, of course he won't," Delphi said solemnly, "unless... He wants to make a final battle with Haier Bo alone for our future. Moreover, he is not sure to win at all."
To be honest, both Luna's words and Delphi's sound somewhat far fetched. However, Hermione could not find any contradiction with reality from their analysis.
She naturally did not want to believe it, but unfortunately, she could not deny these possibilities.
"I --" Hermione hesitated for a while, then finally couldn't help saying, "no, I'll go to him and ask him, otherwise I'm afraid I can't settle down."
As soon as she finished, she turned around and hurried out of the room.
