The Sorting Hat's strange reaction immediately attracted the attention of the staff.
At the staff table, three of the Heads of the four Houses stood up, the only one who did not, Dwayne Goshawk, the Head of Ravenclaw, because he was standing next to the Sorting Hat.
Headmaster Ammand Dippet did not stand up, but he craned his neck to see what was going on with the Sorting Hat.
No one, including Dumbledore, had expected the Sorting Hat to assign Twain to Gryffindor, which was the most unlikely outcome.
But that was not the end. The Magic Hat on Twain's head opened its mouth and sang the sorting song that everyone was very familiar with.
Although this song was specially prepared for the sorting ceremony, it was not heard every year.
Sometimes, when the Sorting Hat was in a bad mood, the song would not be heard during the ceremony.
The Sorting Hat did not sing at the beginning of this year's Sorting Ceremony. Everyone thought that it would not sing again. Unexpectedly, it began to sing at this time.
This made some professors who suspected that there was something wrong with the Sorting Hat even more confused.
It was normal for the Sorting Hat to look like this.
After the song, the Sorting Hat bowed to the staff table and the long tables of the four academies one by one. Immediately after, Twain felt something hard hit his head.
Twain held the tip of the hat and wanted to take it off.
A shiny silver crossguard sword fell out of the hat and landed in Twain's arms.
Twain picked up the sword with one hand. The hilt was inlaid with a dazzling egg-sized ruby, reflecting the horrified expressions of the staff behind Twain.
"Merlin above, it's Gryffindor's sword!”
Among the students, someone recognized the origin of the sword in Twain's hand.
Buzzing discussions rang out in the auditorium. Many students stood up and tiptoed, hoping to see what the legendary sword looked like.
The few professors in the staff table naturally recognized the origin of the sword. It was because of this that they were even more shocked, so much so that everyone was stunned and did not react immediately.
Ever since Gryffindor's death, the sword had mysteriously disappeared along with it.
Countless wizards had been searching for it for thousands of years, but no one had expected that the sword was hidden in the Sorting Hat.
The Sorting Hat fell back on Twain's head and began to sing loudly with a smug grin.
"Great Gryffindor!"
"For thousands of years, he has been bitterly searching for his successor!”
"A sword that carries the will of Gryffindor, forged by the Fairy King, Legnak!”
"Greedy Legnak tried to take the sword for himself, but the great Gryffindor taught him honesty with magic!”
"In order to prevent goblins from coveting it, the great Gryffindor has hidden the sword!”
"The heir to Gryffindor's will and character will bring the sword back to life!”
"The new owner of the sword will receive gifts from Gryffindor and his three best friends!”
On the staff table, Dumbledore, who was the first to react, was about to stop him, but Twain had already raised his silver sword, which symbolized Gryffindor's will.
A vast and ancient will descended, and the dazzling golden light instantly engulfed Twain's figure.
Many people covered their eyes with their hands while trying to widen their eyes, trying to see Twain's figure in the golden light.
Unfortunately, no one succeeded.
Soon, the golden light dissipated.
Tang En, who was still in a sword-raising position, opened his eyes.
The person in front of him had not changed, but everything about Hogwarts Castle had changed.
On the walls of the auditorium, mysterious magic symbols were faintly visible.
The ceiling above his head was simply an enormous magic array that was stacked on top of each other.
In the sky further away, a huge magic array that was as big as the sky enveloped the land within a few kilometers of Hogwarts Castle.
As long as Twain was willing, he could even see the surging magic flowing in these magic arrays.
Not only that, but Twain could also clearly sense that the magic power in all these magic arrays had a natural affinity for him.
As long as he wanted to, he could mobilize this magic power at any time.
At that moment, Twain suddenly understood.
The gift from Gryffindor and his three best friends that the Sorting Hat mentioned actually gave him the authority of the founder of Hogwarts Castle.
As everyone knew, in order to become the headmaster of Hogwarts, in addition to the approval of the board of directors, the more important thing was to obtain the recognition of Hogwarts Castle.
To be precise, it was authorized by the castle.
However, the authority that the principal had obtained was only able to borrow the power of a portion of the castle's magic array.
Unless Hogwarts Castle was under a fatal threat, the headmaster's authority would be temporarily expanded.
Even so, it was still not as good as the founder's authority that Twain had obtained.
With all four of the legendary figures dead, Twain was the owner of the highest authority in Hogwarts Castle.
In Tang En's eyes, the entire castle was no longer a secret.
Of course, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was a " private item " that Slytherin had secretly built by bypassing the other three founders. This was not within the control of the founders.
In fact, the authority that the four founders had left behind was completely a BUG.
It was different from the Sword of Gryffindor that could be obtained by fulfilling the Gryffindor character requirements.
In order to obtain the founder's authority, one had to meet the conditions set by the four founders at the same time.
The Sorting Hat was used to determine the academy of the new students based on the conditions set by the four founders.
It was already very difficult to meet the conditions set by one founder. It was impossible to meet the conditions set by four founders at the same time.
The four founders did not expect that one day, it would really be obtained by someone else.
The system automatically whitewashed Twain's sorting results as the most optimal selection. This most optimal selection did not meet the requirements set by one of the founders, but met all the conditions set by the four founders at the same time.
From the moment he obtained the founder's authority, Twain automatically became the true owner of Hogwarts Castle.
