Ravenclaw’s unprecedented words of praise made Scott feel a little carried away.
Then, she used the shortest time to decipher the remaining content on the ancient parchment.
I also corrected a few minor mistakes made by Scott during his previous cracking.
At this point, the secret recipe left by the alchemist finally revealed its true colors.
Scott couldn’t be happier about this.
“Okay, let this be my summer vacation gift for you.”
Ravenclaw said calmly.
“Have a nice summer vacation.”
“Thank you, Professor.”
Scott quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
“Now, you’re ready to enjoy your vacation.”
Ravenclaw smiled.
“But before that, I want to say a few words to you.”
Scott nodded.
Ravenclaw looked into his eyes.
“I don’t restrict your behavior, as long as you are not a heinous person. I don’t require your morality, as long as you are not a heinous person.”
Her eyes shone with wisdom, as if she could read his thoughts.
“But on the road of exploring magic, I hope you will always be wise, always determined, and never stop.”
Scott bowed solemnly again, “I understand.”
He straightened up and changed his title to, “Mentor.”
What Ravenclaw said just now was a warning that ancient wizards would solemnly say when they accepted apprentices.
At this moment, Ravenclaw recognized him as a student.
Their relationship has also changed.
They are no longer the ordinary relationship between professor and student in school, but a closer mentor and apprentice.
Even Scott was excited at this moment.
Because for Scott, who lived in the East in his previous life, this master-disciple relationship is of even greater significance.
“Then, let’s see you after the summer vacation.”
Ravenclaw just nodded and said goodbye to him.
“Goodbye, mentor.”
Scott packed up his things obediently and turned to leave.
He still couldn’t believe it at this moment, and he felt his heart beating rapidly.
His feet felt as light as stepping on cotton.
In this way, he left the inner room with one foot deep and one shallow.
The door to the inner room closed and disappeared. Scott was still standing in Helena’s study, trying to calm down.
Although he did not have the status of mentor and student, Ravenclaw would teach him as agreed, but he still felt extremely excited.
This is a very precious recognition.
Approval from the harshly critical Ravenclaw.
This means that his path has been favored by Ravenclaw, and it also makes him more confident about his future.
“Scott…Scott!”
Helena’s gradually louder calling made Scott suddenly come back to his senses.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Helena in the painting looked at him worriedly.
“Have you been criticized by your mother?”
Before Scott could answer, Helena nodded to herself.
“I guess so.”
Then, she pretended to be someone who had been there before and began to comfort Scott.
“It’s okay. You know, my mother often criticizes me.”
She even used herself as an example.
“My mother never understood that wizards with such lofty wisdom as hers are rare.”
She said somewhat sadly.
“She always looks at others by her own standards, and she is never used to such a gap.”
After Helena talked about this topic, she seemed to be eloquent.
It seems that this woman suffered from it in her teenage years.
“At first, my mother didn’t think it was because I wasn’t smart enough. She thought it was because I didn’t work hard enough.”
She looked depressed.
“It wasn’t until she encountered too many setbacks in the process of teaching me that my mother finally figured it out and gave up her plan to train me into a great wizard.”
Scott immediately understood why Helena was so stressed out that she stole the crown.
As a child, it will be painful when your parents ask you strictly, and it will be even more painful when your parents give up.
But Helena in the painting looked at Scott with sympathetic eyes.
“You’re probably a little smarter than me, Scott, so my mother is a little tougher on you.”
However, Scott found that there was still an imperceptible feeling of envy in her eyes.
But Scott had something else on his mind.
The remaining consciousness of Ravenclaw has disappeared, and the ghost Helena has also left.
There is no doubt that the Ravenclaw and Helena in the painting are only real portraits.
However, whether it is Ravenclaw or Helena, their portraits are more vivid than other portraits in the castle.
Scott never thought that he could understand the eyes of the portrait.
But at this moment, he didn’t know whether to resolve Helena’s misunderstanding.
If the truth were told, would Helena be shocked when she was a girl in the painting?
But Scott thought about it and chose to tell the truth.
Because the Ravenclaws inside will definitely notice what is happening here.
Although she is just a portrait.
But Scott had no reason to feel that the portrait of his mentor was completely different from the portraits of others.
“Helena.”
Scott looked at the girl in the painting.
“Thank you for comforting me, but you misunderstood. I was just too excited.”
Helena immediately asked curiously, “Excited? Did something good happen?”
“Of course.” Scott puffed up his chest and said proudly, “I think Ms. Ravenclaw has recognized me and she has become my mentor.”
“tutor……”
Helena repeated, then covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Scott with wide eyes.
“Yes, mentor.” Scott said affirmatively.
“Congratulations, Scott.” Helena looked at Scott with some confusion, “You know, my mother only taught those students as the dean and professor during her lifetime.”
Scott solemnly said: “This is my honor.”
Helena suddenly laughed.
Scott could tell that her smile was genuine.
“That’s great.” She said happily.
Scott’s pupils trembled slightly.
It seemed that he had misunderstood Helena. The Helena in her teenage years had a much better character than the Helena who later became Ms. Gray.
She doesn’t have that kind of forced pride and stubborn obsession.
At the same time, he also felt a little regretful.
It must be said that such a beautiful girl could turn into such a paranoid ghost. It is a devastating tragedy.
“It’s a pity.” Helena sighed suddenly, “It’s a pity that you didn’t appear in the era when my mother was alive.”
Helena looked at Scott.
“If you could show up at that time and become my mother’s student, I think she would be much happier. And I would be much more relaxed.”
“this……”
Scott wanted to say that Helena was exaggerating.
How virtuous and capable is oneself?
But Helena suddenly disappeared from the painting.
“Helena?” Scott was a little confused.
At this moment, Ravenclaw’s voice came from the painting, “You go first, Scott, Helena and I have something to say.”
“Yes, mentor.”
Scott responded helplessly and finally left the Room of Requirement.
