My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 241, Chapter 238: The Brave and Fearless Gryffindor

"And what about me? Why did you assign me to Slytherin without even thinking?"

"Because you're too pure, my friend. Pure blood, no prejudice against power, ambitious, unconventional, rational and self-serving, and willing to do anything to achieve your goals. Even if Slytherin himself stood in front of you, he would only sigh that he was no match for you," the Sorting Hat said in its distinctive tone.

Lynn's lips twitched; he felt that what it was saying didn't sound like a compliment.

"Then why don't you want to see me?"

The Sorting Hat paused for a moment in silence.

"Because I regret it."

"Regret it?"

"Yes, yes, you don't need to repeat yourself," the Sorting Hat said impatiently. "After my Sorting was completed and I was brought back to this office, I regretted it because I realized you could have been sorted into any house. You're such a complex person. You have the distinct characteristics of Slytherin, yet you're not lacking in courage. You seem to be playing it safe, but you're actually a radical adventurer. The courage that Gryffindors are showing is child's play compared to you. At the same time, you're not lacking in wisdom, nor in your pursuit and thirst for knowledge. No Ravenclaw student can compare to you when it comes to learning. You have many friends, and you're loyal enough to your family and teachers. Wizards who share your ideals are spread across all four houses, and even the best students at Hodgepodge are willing to follow your guidance. So, I regret it. I shouldn't have been so hasty in my Sorting of you; I should have considered it more carefully."

Compared to the previous evaluations, what the Sorting Hat is saying now sounds like a compliment to him.

No one dislikes hearing praise, and Lynn felt very comfortable after being showered with compliments.

"If you were to sort me into a different department right now, where would you put me?"

"I don't know," the Sorting Hat said honestly.

"have no idea?"

"Yes, even if I had the option to back out now, I don't know where to put you if I were to re-assign you. I've never seen anyone like you before. Perhaps Azkaban needs someone like you." He concluded with a comical tone.

Lynn said with a sour face, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course, otherwise if I really sorted you into Azkaban, Dumbledore would definitely throw me into the fireplace himself." The Sorting Hat clearly didn't want to say anything more to him. "Alright, I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now you can take me down, right? And now that you're a Slytherin student, don't try to pull that sword out of my body again. Even if you have absolutely enough courage, it won't answer your call."

Lynn hadn't forgotten his ultimate purpose for coming here, and he coughed twice.

"May I ask you one last question?"

"If you want to ask, hurry up. I still need to think about what song to sing when school starts next year."

"Am I qualified to receive this honor?"

"."

peaceful.

The entire principal's office fell silent once again.

However, Lynn could clearly sense that the Sorting Hat wasn't deliberately silent; it seemed to be startled by what Lynn had just said.

Speechless with shock.

"Y-you, what did you say?" The Sorting Hat's voice stammered and trembled.

Lynn noticed that something was wrong with the Sorting Hat. He didn't know what was making the Sorting Hat so agitated, but he repeated the question anyway.

"Am I qualified to receive this honor?"

"Great! Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!" The Sorting Hat's voice rose to a crescendo, and anyone could hear the unparalleled excitement in its tone.

"Yes! Yes! Why not? That's it! That's it, that's right! I heard it, I heard you say that!" It seemed to have become incoherent, not even knowing what it was saying.

It took the Sorting Hat a long time to process its excitement, but its voice remained incredibly loud.

"That's right, Lynn! This is the one who suits you best, so please listen carefully now." It suppressed its excitement, and its voice became calm and solemn.

"On behalf of Godric Gryffindor, I am willing to entrust this great responsibility to you."

You have gained Gryffindor's approval and received the permanent title "Brave and Fearless Gryffindor," and your Constitution attribute has been increased by 1.

[Permanent Title: Brave and Fearless Gryffindor]

[Effect 1: You can see the overall approval rating of you among the young wizards of Gryffindor. Approval rating: 3]

[Effect 2: At Hogwarts, you can enjoy all the privileges that Gryffindor students have]

[Note: This title is incomplete.]

The long-awaited system notification sounded in Lynn's mind, which startled him.

The last time the system beeped was when he caught Tom and obtained the title of "Demon King Terminator". There was no activity for the next three months, except that Lynn would wear the system title when studying to enhance his learning efficiency. He didn't expect to get another title today.

Lynn stroked his chin, pondering. Did this mean that the other two things, the eagle door knocker and the kitchen painting, would also earn him the same title?

"What you seek is within the realm of knowledge within this castle," the Sorting Hat continued, speaking on his head. "But to find it, you need the approval of relics other than myself. Go find them, and then conquer them!"

Its voice was full of fighting spirit, like a king beckoning a hero to defeat the evil dragon and rescue the princess.

But Lynn was completely unaffected by its emotions. Instead, she frowned and asked, "Why can't you be more clear about where knowledge is acquired?"

"This isn't a very difficult place to guess. I'm just following the procedure. My task is to tell you that this is a place for acquiring knowledge. For the more detailed information, you need to find other relics."

Lynn still felt something was off. He just wanted to find out the entrance to the dungeon built by the goblins in Hogwarts, but why did he need the approval of the three leaders first, and why would the system reward him with a title for this?

"Are you sure the place you're looking for was built by fairies?"

Without hesitation, the Sorting Hat replied, "Who but a goblin could create something so exquisite?" It urged, "Go, Lynn, go find the other relics. You are the most unique one I have seen in a thousand years. You will succeed."

Lynn didn't rush to leave the headmaster's office, but continued to ask the Sorting Hat some questions. However, it then simply stopped talking, just like an ordinary hat.
