Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

“You know it in your heart,” Ron replied.

“Listen, Ron. I don’t know how this happened either. I don’t even know why my name is in the Goblet of Fire.”

Harry tried to explain his innocence, but Ron didn't believe him.

"Get lost! Who would believe that?"

After saying this, Ron lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and turned his back to Harry.

This action clearly indicated that he didn't want to say anything more to Harry.

"As you wish."

Seeing that his good friend didn't trust him at all, Harry didn't bother to say anything more.

I took off my glasses and went to sleep.

…………

The border region, the Grand Archives of Real Lucaria.

Zicomo appeared here, accompanied by Lani.

Due to numerous inconveniences encountered while traveling in the ancient Eastern country during the summer holidays, Zicomo has not entered the border area for two months.

Today, as soon as Zicomo entered the border area, he received a message from Teacher Seren, asking him to return to the Grand Archives.

Lani hadn't seen her mother for a while, so Zicomo brought Lani back with her.

Back in the Great Archives, Zicomo and Lani first went to see his mother-in-law, Rena La.

Then I went to find Teacher Seren.

As for Lani, she stayed with Renara to catch up with her mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

When Seren saw Zicomo arrive, he said in a gentle tone, "My disciple, it's been a long time. The matter you asked me to do has been completed, and the magic academy has been completely reclaimed."

Although the number of people is still relatively small, everything is developing in a positive direction. I have done as you instructed, eliminating all those stubborn members of the single-magic faction.

Furthermore, I've reorganized lunar and star magic. Following your suggestion, I've combined them into a new magic textbook.

Although Serena didn't say it, Zicomo knew.

Completing what Serian said in a short time is not an easy task.

His teacher, Se-ryeon, must have encountered many difficulties, but she didn't tell him any of them.

“Teacher, you’ve worked hard,” Zicomo said sincerely.

"Oh, teachers don't have to work hard. Helping their students solve their problems is what teachers should do."

Seren waved his hand and said, "As long as you are satisfied with everything the teacher has done, that's all that matters."

Zicomo nodded and said, "Of course I'm satisfied. In fact, you've done so well, teacher, that it has exceeded my expectations."

Seeing that Zicomo was satisfied, Seren said happily, "That's good. Now I can go and pursue the origin with peace of mind."

"My disciple, it's time for us to part ways for a while."

Seren's tone was full of reluctance; she knew what pursuing the origin meant.

Her departure might be her last.

Origin Mages belong to a faction of Shining Stone Mages, but this faction is not recognized by ordinary Shining Stone Mages.

Because the method used by Origin Magicians to explore the origin is to gather magicians into a sphere, transforming them into seeds of stars.

This is considered a nightmare by ordinary gem magicians.

Because gathering into a sphere means abandoning one's emotions and desires, even one's thoughts, and becoming a stone single-mindedly pursuing its origin.

Moreover, even if we don't use this method to explore the origins, the final result will be the same.

Like the Origin Mage Yazler that Zicomo once encountered, and Luther.

Because of their profound magical skills, they did not gather into a sphere with the other magicians.

However, their bodies still exhibited a high degree of pyroxene crystallization, and even their entire heads turned into pyroxene, causing them to lose the ability to speak.

This is precisely the symbol of them transforming into the seeds of stars.

Therefore, Origin Magic was once listed as a taboo by magic academies.

And Seren was clearly well aware of this.

Although she was extremely reluctant to part with her apprentice, Zicomo, she still decided to embark on the path of pursuing the origins.

Because that was her lifelong pursuit.

To let her give up like this would undoubtedly be to deny the meaning of her existence.

Just like when Radagan left, Renara lost her heart and also lost her right to be a hero.

In the end, he even fell into a deep sleep, escaping from all of reality.

If it weren't for Zikomo's arrival, Renara might have remained in a state of slumber for a long time.

They may even spend their entire lives unable to escape this low point in their lives.

How could things be like this now, where I can still catch up and chat with my daughter, Lani?

If Seren were to give up her pursuit of the Origin, she would probably end up like Renara once was.

Zicomo knew that, as Ceremony's apprentice, he might be able to persuade Ceremony to abandon his pursuit of the Origins.

But he couldn't guarantee that Seren would not become a second Renara after giving up his pursuit of the origin.

Zicomo wasn't confident he could pull Serena out of that state.

Therefore, Zicomo does not intend to stop Seren from pursuing the origin.

He had already left a backup plan on Seren's Source Stone, which was Seren's soul core.

With this backup plan, even if Seren is transformed into a magician's ball, he will not lose his emotions and his own thoughts.

Furthermore, they can continue to move freely in the form of a soul.

Zicomo smiled and said to Seren, "Then I wish you a safe journey to the Origin, teacher. See you later."

Zicomo's second half of his sentence was cryptic, leaving Serenius somewhat puzzled.

She assumed that Zicomo was unaware of what pursuing origins meant.

In order to keep this from Zicomo, she did not teach him this knowledge.

"My disciple, before we part, may you give your master a hug?" Seren said reluctantly.

Upon hearing this, Zicomo reached out and hugged Serenity.

Serena lay in Zicomo's arms, trying to press her ear close to his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

But it was blocked by the pyroxene covering its head.

For the first time, Seren found the stone shield so cumbersome.

A moment later, Seren released Zicomo on his own initiative.

Seren was afraid that if she continued like this, she would be reluctant to part with Zicomo.

"Alright, apprentice. I'm leaving now, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Zicomo 4.5, Seren left the Grand Archives and went to a classroom in the Magic Academy.

This classroom is where a group of Radiant Stone Mages are imprisoned; these are the stubborn, single-minded magic users that Serenity mentioned.

After learning that Zicomo did not intend to take in the group, Seren came up with the idea of ​​making use of the waste.

Gathering a magic orb requires a large number of magicians.

There are no requirements regarding whether these mages belong to the Origin faction, as long as they are Radiant Stone mages.

Therefore, Serenius plans to use them to condense a magic orb in pursuit of the origin.

Seren entered the classroom, ignoring the pleas for mercy from the group of magicians.

She raised her hand and cast a spell, and the magicians in the classroom fell dead after a series of wails.

As the magical light from Serenius's hands shone, the corpses of these mages began to dissolve.

They transformed into streams of light and merged into their radiant stone shield.

When only a pile of gleaming stones remained on the ground, Seren waved her hand and gathered all the hoods around her.

The pyroxene shroud surrounded her, forming a giant sphere composed of a head covering.

Seren's hood also became part of the sphere.

Chapter 205 Seren's True Face, Rena La Wants to Retire

The magic ball, which was listed as taboo by the magic academy, has reappeared after many years.

Seren's body was encased in this sphere, and she closed her eyes, quietly waiting for her emotions to disappear.

However, she soon realized that something was wrong.

Her emotions did not disappear, and her mind remained active.
